Chapter 360 Hurting Each Other
But at this moment, Xiaoguai was staring at the portrait without blinking, like a wooden stake.
"Little cutie?"
Hu Zi touched Xiao Guai's arm.
Xiaoguai finally came back to his senses, "Brother Huzi."
"What's wrong? You look like you lost your soul?" Hu Zi was a little surprised. "Or have you seen this person?"
Xiaoguai did not answer Hu Zi's words. Instead, he looked at Ye Yongwang and said anxiously, "Master Ye, you just said that it was Sister Su who sent someone to deliver the portrait? Sister Su said that this person was a merchant?"
"That's right." Ye Yongwang nodded.
Xiaoguai bit his lip.
Since he is here as a merchant, he should be safe now.
Moreover, this is what Sister Su came to ask specifically.
Does this mean that Sister Su knew something and came here specifically to verify it?
After thinking for a moment, Xiaoguai felt relieved, his eyes slightly reddened, he looked at Huzi, then at Ye Yongwang, then he slowly spoke, "Master Ye, Brother Huzi, the person in the portrait is my brother, Lou Yanlin..."
…
Su Yujin received Ye Yongwang's reply in the evening.
When I saw what was said in the letter, my heart felt at ease.
As expected, it was just as she had guessed. Lou Yanlin and Xiaoguai were brothers, born of the same mother and had a deep relationship. However, they were separated due to a family accident a year and a half ago. Xiaoguai was left on the streets, not knowing the situation of the Lou family or where Lou Yanlin was, and he did not dare to reveal his identity...
Su Yujin sighed.
"It's a happy thing that the two brothers can recognize each other, so why are you sighing?" He Yanxiu was a little puzzled.
"This is indeed a joyful event, but it is sad to think about the internal strife in the family to the point where it has reached this point," Su Yujin said with emotion.
A family, connected by blood and working together, has come to such a point because of conflicts of interest, which is really sad.
He Yanxiu was also silent.
Throughout history, all wealthy and powerful families have always been like this.
It is unavoidable.
Just like him and He Yande, the Third Prince and the other princes, they are all in a vortex, and if they are not careful, they will be doomed.
Su Yujin saw the light in He Yanxiu's eyes dim, and knew that her words had touched his heart, so she reached out and squeezed his fingers.
He Yanxiu turned around, held Su Yujin's hand and rubbed it gently.
He Yanxiu's fingers are long, with distinct joints, but because he often holds a pen or a sword, his fingers do not feel soft, but rather a bit rough.
But this rough feeling makes people feel unusually at ease.
Su Yujin couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, and stood up after a moment, "If you have nothing to do now, come with me."
"Where are we going?" He Yanxiu stood up, thought for a moment, and asked, "Qingfengju?"
"Yes." Su Yujin nodded. "Since Xiaoguai has already recognized Shopkeeper Lou, he must be waiting anxiously in Qinghe, waiting for Shopkeeper Lou to look for him. He may even be tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep. It would be better to explain this to Shopkeeper Lou as soon as possible so that the two brothers can meet sooner."
"Okay." He Yanxiu agreed with Su Yujin's point of view and called Xing'an to prepare the carriage.
The two men walked out, and before they reached the second door, they saw a short lantern moving, and the lantern was swaying left and right, as if it was moving backwards.
Su Yujin was quite curious, but He Yanxiu had already called out, "Is it Yanzhou?"
The lantern stopped where it was and after a moment it moved quickly towards Su Yujin and He Yanxiu and soon arrived in front of them.
"It's my second brother and sister Su." He Yanzhou asked with a smile, "Where are you going so late?"
"What about you? What are you going to do?" He Yanxiu asked with a smile.
He Yanzhou chuckled again, "My father just checked my homework over the past few days and said that I have made great progress compared to before. He also gave me the writing brush he usually uses so that I can concentrate on studying."
"I am going to my grandmother's place to pay my respects and show her the things my father gave me."
Well, this is to show off and ask for rewards.
"Go ahead, but the weather is cold now and grandma goes to bed early at night, so don't stay too long. Go back and rest early, as you have to go to school early tomorrow morning." He Yanxiu reminded.
"Yes!" He Yanzhou nodded excitedly, "Second brother, Sister Su, I'll go first."
"Go ahead."
He Yanxiu and Su Yujin watched He Yanzhou run away with smiles on their faces.
Su Yujin was especially smiling, "Yanzhou is becoming more and more well-behaved and sensible. He is really lovable."
"If they start to hunt down the gods, it will be a real headache." He Yanxiu said with a smile, "I was just punished to be confined for half a month because I destroyed a painting of my father's mountain residence. Now I can go out. Judging from the situation, I guess I can be quiet for a while."
But after this period of peace, it’s hard to say.
He Yanzhou destroyed He Chengye's paintings? No wonder I haven't seen him for a while.
In Su Yujin's impression, she had only met him twice when he first arrived at the He family, and they didn't have much contact. She just felt that if she judged by his appearance, he was a quiet and steady child.
I never thought that he was a naughty...
Wait, naughty?
Su Yujin suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" He Yanxiu also stopped.
"Did you notice just now that Yanzhou has no servants around him?" Su Yujin asked.
"Well, no one followed."
"Then did you notice that Yanzhou's arms were bulging, as if he was hiding something?"
"I noticed it." He Yanxiu nodded, "If my guess is correct, he should have hidden two paintings."
Su Yujin looked at He Yanxiu's calm demeanor and felt a little uneasy. "Then you won't expose it?"
"No need to expose him." He Yanxiu touched his nose disapprovingly. "He looked a little flustered, obviously he just came out of his father's study. But my mother has been living in the palace recently, and my father has been in the study every day. And because of what happened last time, my father has been guarding all the paintings strictly to prevent Yanzhou from getting them."
"But now Yanzhou still got it..."
Su Yujin stopped talking halfway through her words. After a moment, she suddenly realized, "You mean, everything is under control?"
"Not only that." He Yanxiu said, "I guess my father is probably in Yanzhou's study right now, holding the copybook he examined so well, waiting for him to come back."
Su Yujin, "..."
Hurting the father and son? As they were talking, a shout cut through the sky.
There was a strong sense of fear in the voice.
Obviously, this was probably the reaction of He Yanzhou when he returned to his study and found He Chengye sitting in his study.
Su Yujin frowned slightly, but she soon realized that He Yanxiu looked calm. Even the gatekeeper who opened the door for them didn't make a fuss at all, and even the sparrows playing on the branches didn't move at all...
