Chapter 134 Brother, don’t blame me!
The sun is nice today. The sunlight shines through the mottled shadows of the trees and onto the two people in the courtyard.
Jiang Wenyi sat on a bamboo chair, embroidering on an embroidery frame, and looked much more energetic. Since moving out of the Liang Mansion, the two of them have lived in the mountains and no one has come to disturb them.
The oppression and grievances she had suffered over the years were slowly dissipating, and life now was just right for her.
Jiang Wenyi kept sewing and looked at Liang Xiuzhu who was processing a bunch of scallions beside her: "If you keep pinching them, I don't think you can eat these scallions anymore."
"ah?"
Liang Xiuzhu, who was distracted, heard Jiang Wenyi's words, came to his senses and looked down, and saw that a handful of green onion seedlings had been pulled into pieces by him, leaving only a little white part.
Throwing the scallion aside, Liang Xiuzhu held the scallion and sighed, "Alas."
"What's wrong? Are you distracted?" Seeing his listless appearance, Jiang Wenyi put down her embroidery and frowned: "What's the matter with mother? Don't you have enough money to spend?"
Speaking of silver, there was still a lot of silver notes left after Sun Shuo gave him away.
Thinking of Sun Shuo, Liang Xiuzhu shook his head and sighed again: "It's nothing, mother, you don't understand."
Ever since that day, no matter what Liang Xiuzhu did, Ying Wu's words would ring in his mind. Every time I think of Liang Xiuzhu, I feel a numbness in my heart and my breathing becomes rapid.
He wanted to find Sun Shuo to ask him clearly, but who would have thought that Sun Shuo didn't come to his house in the past few days. It seems suspicious no matter how I think about it.
Could it be that Sun Shuo was avoiding him?
As for why he had to hide, Liang Xiuzhu didn't dare to think too much. The answer is obvious, and the more I think about it, the more I can't stop my heart from beating.
My heart feels like it's being scratched by a kitten. It's so itchy!
The thought of why Sun Shuo liked me this way popped up in my mind from time to time.
It's really unbelievable that she used to look down on him but now she says she likes him.
Jiang Wenyi saw that he started to daydream halfway through his words, and her face showed confusion, anxiety, and smile. It's like being possessed.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Wenyi frowned and pushed him with her hand: "Are you performing magic tricks here?"
Liang Xiuzhu looked at Jiang Wenyi, not knowing what to say. You can't say that your son is being targeted by his brother, right?
"Nothing, I'm just thinking about how to make money." Liang Xiuzhu laughed and tried to brush it off.
Jiang Wenyi didn't know what was going on between the two of them. Thinking that Sun Shuo hadn't come for a few days, she asked casually, "Why didn't Xiao Sun come these days? Did you two have a quarrel?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it. As soon as he did, Liang Xiuzhu's expression instantly became nervous: "How could that be... The imperial guards... might be very busy. How could they have time to come to us every day..."
Although he said this, Liang Xiuzhu still revealed a hint of loneliness between his eyebrows.
After saying that, he stood up and said, "I'll go cook first..."
Jiang Wenyi looked at his flustered figure and muttered to herself, "I haven't said anything yet, why is this kid reacting so strongly?"
There must be something going on.
Jiang Wenyi decided to find out what was going on and followed him into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Liang Xiuzhu was standing in front of the chopping board preparing food. Seeing Jiang Wenyi following in, she quickly said, "Mom, what are you doing here? Be careful not to choke when we cook."
"We haven't cooked yet." Jiang Wenyi walked up to him and asked, "What's going on between you and Xiao Sun? Are you having a fight?"
After hearing his words, Liang Xiuzhu stopped holding the kitchen knife. His eyes rolled around and he immediately retorted, "No! You're overthinking it!"
"Really?" Jiang Wenyi looked at his guilty expression and obviously didn't believe it: "No, why are you panicking? Tell me, did you recruit Xiao Sun?"
She understands her own son. Sometimes stupid and stubborn. Xiao Sun looks like a sensible person and will definitely not argue with Liang Xiuzhu. Then the problem must be with Liang Xiuzhu.
Jiang Wenyi thought Sun Shuo was a reliable person and knew that he was interested in Liang Xiuzhu. I also wanted to bring the two of them together.
Xiao Sun is a favorite of the emperor, so following him will definitely mean suffering. In addition, after observing Sun Shuo these days, Jiang Wenyi is also confident in his character.
Liang Xiuzhu didn't know at this moment that he had been betrayed by his mother, and he didn't understand why his mother insisted that it was his problem.
Putting down the knife, Liang Xiuzhu felt a little aggrieved: "How could I! It was obviously him who didn't come, and I didn't offend him!"
"That's good. Xiao Sun has helped us so much. You can't be ungrateful." Jiang Wenyi said jokingly.
ungrateful? Liang Xiuzhu continued to cut vegetables. Could it be that he really wanted to marry her?
In the restaurant, Sun Shuo picked up the wine cup and drank one cup after another. Ying Wu looked at his depressed face and laughed: "What's going on? Is there another time when our brother Sun drinks to relieve his sorrow?"
Sun Shuo glanced at him sideways, said nothing, and just kept drinking.
Realizing that something was wrong with him, Yingwu didn't dare to joke anymore. His expression became serious: "Could it be... that you and Brother Liang didn't make it?"
Yingwu felt a little guilty when he thought that he might have done something bad with good intentions and ruined his good brother's marriage.
He quickly tried to make amends, "Alas, Brother Sun, a forced melon is not sweet. You should stop being so stubborn."
Sun Shuo, who was already in a bad mood, felt even more upset after hearing this. He didn't know Liang Xiuzhu's attitude, but he didn't have the courage to point it out.
In his opinion, Liang Xiuzhu had always treated him as a friend, and it was he who had thoughts that he shouldn't have. He was afraid that if the issue was exposed, they would no longer be able to be friends.
With his head lowered and a dejected look on his face, Sun Shuo thought silently in his heart. Being liked by me, would Liang Xiuzhu...feel disgusted...?
The pot of wine on the table was soon empty, and Sun Shuo asked someone to bring more wine.
"You!" Ying Wu held down his hand holding the cup: "Didn't you treat me to a drink? But you drank it all. That's really unfair, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Sun Shuo gave up raising his glass, pursed his lips and said nothing. That handsome face was tinged with gloom.
Seeing his brother trapped in love, he also feels responsible.
Yingwu asked, "What's going on? Give me some reaction."
Looking at his best friend, Sun Shuo opened his mouth and chose to continue speaking.
"He... he seems to be very shy..." Sun Shuo recalled the way Liang Xiuzhu avoided him that day, and smiled bitterly: "Yeah, who would want to be liked by a man? It's disgusting, right?"
"..." Ying Wu touched his chin after hearing this and asked in confusion: "How could this happen?"
But at that time, when I tested Liang Xiuzhu, he didn't show any disgust. The surprise in his eyes was genuine.
Could it be that something happened between the two of them after I left?
"Nothing happened between you and him after I left, right?" Ying Wu asked deliberately.
Sun Shuo briefly recounted what happened after Yingwu left that day. Yingwu felt relieved after hearing that, thinking there was still hope!
"Dude! You..."
Ying Wu looked at the man in front of him, feeling really disappointed with him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you drinking to drown your sorrows? Didn't the other person say anything?"
"Also, after the window paper was broken, you just ran away without caring about anything. Who was it that was avoiding you?"
As he said that, Ying Wu pulled the man up and said, "Why don't you take a day off today? Why are you still sitting here? Go ask me directly if I hate you or not, if I like you or not!"
"What?" Sun Shuo stood up. He had drunk some wine and felt a little dizzy. He quickly pushed Yingwu away: "Wait, I'm not going."
Even if I want to go, it's not now. He couldn't appear in front of Liang Xiuzhu like this.
"What are you hesitating about!" Without saying a word, she dragged him downstairs.
Ying Wu is an experienced love man. Isn’t Sun Shuo’s drunken appearance the best opportunity now?
As he said this, he dragged the man out of the door. Sun Shuo's steps were unsteady and he still wanted to struggle. He was knocked down directly by Ying Wu who sprinkled a handful of love powder on him. The drug was so powerful that Sun Shuo stopped moving immediately and his body went limp.
He dragged the man onto the horse and rushed to Liang Xiuzhu's house. Ying Wu Jia Ma murmured, "Good brother, I am doing this for your happiness! Don't blame me."
