Chapter 1: The Sister-Protecting Maniac
"Luo'er~"
"Little sister..."
"Mom, brother, what happened to my younger sister? Why did she fall down?" The boy's anxious voice reached the ears of a beautiful woman who was wiping her tears.
Before the beautiful woman could answer, she heard a sincere voice again: "Madam, Luo'er has woken up, what does the doctor say?"
"Brother, where is my third brother? My younger sister is in trouble. Why is he not here? Doesn't he love my younger sister very much?"
Anxious and worried voices echoed one after another. The chubby figure on the bed frowned slightly, and then fell silent again, continuing to sleep...
The beautiful woman sitting beside the bed cast a distressed glance at her comatose daughter, then reached out and held back the two young men who were about to step forward. Tears welled in her eyes as she said, "Lou'er, Xu'er, quickly go to your uncle's house and bring the third child back. Don't let him get into any trouble. I have my own plan for today's matter."
"mother…"
Ouyang Mingxu had just opened his mouth to call out "mother" when he was stopped by a cold-blooded man standing beside him, "Xu'er, listen to your mother. Lou'er, you two should hurry back!"
Fifteen-year-old Ouyang Minglou saw the coldness in his parents' eyes, and intuitively felt that this incident was related to his uncle's family. However, his uncle was now a fourth-rank official in the court, and his father was just a businessman.
No!
His father was not even a businessman. At best, he was just a manager who ran a shop for the Ouyang family.
This made a master who had just completed a Jinshi give up his future to run the family shop. Perhaps in the huge capital city, only the Ouyang family would do such a thing.
This is so ironic...
Ouyang Minglou didn't say anything. He just pulled the somewhat unwilling Ouyang Mingxu out of the house with a stern face, and then hurried towards Chaohuiyuan where their uncle lived.
The maids and servants along the way were so frightened when they saw the two angry young masters that they dared not make a sound. They stood aside with their heads lowered, waiting. After the two men had walked a long way away, they raised their hands, patted their chests, and left quickly in shock.
As the two of them walked not far from Zhaohuiyuan, they heard a child's voice shouting.
"Ouyang Feilian, do you think that I don't know what you are planning? You just think that the three of us brothers dote on Luo'er. Why does the fact that the three of us dote on our own sister have anything to do with you, Ouyang Feilian?"
"I'm telling you, if my sister loses even a single hair, I'll set your Qinghe Garden on fire tomorrow and turn you into a pool of dry lotus..."
Twelve-year-old Ouyang Mingxu looked at his older brother, who was raising his eyebrows and pouting at him, and suddenly said, "Third brother, what are you still yelling about? My little sister has a hole in her head and the bleeding won't stop. Why are you here talking nonsense instead of staying by her side?"
The little man who was jumping and shouting outside the closed gate heard it, and immediately walked to the closed gate, raised his foot, and kicked the door three times with a loud bang.
Seeing the tightly closed courtyard gate shaking and beginning to crack, the brothers Ouyang Minglou and Ouyang Mingxu immediately each held up one of Ouyang Mingli's arms and quickly left in the direction they came from.
At the same time, he was still saying: "Old Third, you are too unreasonable. I asked you to look after my younger sister, where did you go?"
"Brother, this third kid deserves to be punished..."
The next second, Ouyang Minglou heard a loud bang from the gate of Chaohui Courtyard. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "Yes, he deserves to be punished. He didn't stay by my side and just ran around. I'll let mother beat him up when I get back."
Ouyang Mingli, who was being carried backwards, was still shouting, "Ouyang Bilian, just wait for me. I will set your Qinghe Garden on fire tomorrow. I will teach you a lesson for being so naughty as to push my sister..."
"Ouyang Bilian, you dare not admit it. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because your grandparents are protecting you. Tomorrow I will go out and publicize you, saying that you, Ouyang Bilian, are as vicious as a snake..."
"Bah! Putting a pretty girl like you together with a snake and scorpion only lowers the snake and scorpion's status. You are nothing but a pool of black mud..."
Ouyang Mingli, who was being carried, cursed all the way, and his two brothers who were carrying him said something to him from time to time. They walked so fast that those who heard the noise and wanted to say something to Ouyang Mingli didn't know how to start.
Even Madam Ouyang, who always protected Ouyang Feilian, did not say a word when she saw the appearance of the three brothers, but walked towards the courtyard of the second house.
It's not that the old lady loves Ouyang Feiluo so much, but she wants to see if there is really a hole in the head of that sharp-tongued little girl. She doesn't want her precious granddaughter Lian'er to suffer any injustice.
Hejinyuan.
This was the courtyard of the second house. Ouyang Feiluo's father, Ouyang Jin, was the second son of Ouyang Hong. He passed the imperial examination at the age of eighteen and became a Jinshi master. He should have been given an official position, but for some reason, Madam Ouyang refused to allow it and tried desperately to get Ouyang Jin to return home to manage the Ouyang family business.
The newly-minted Jinshi master became the manager of the family business. This was probably the first time in the entire capital and even in the entire Wuxi Kingdom.
And this took twenty years, a full twenty years, and the best years of my life were gone, leaving only vicissitudes of life and an increasingly cold heart.
As the three brothers walked into Ouyang Feiluo's room, they saw their mother sitting by the bed, wiping her tears, and their father comforting her. They hurriedly asked, "Dad, Mom, has the bleeding stopped? Is my little sister awake?"
"Mom, how is my little sister?"
The beautiful woman raised her head and looked at her three sons with red eyes. Before she could say anything, she heard the voice of a maid coming from outside the door.
"Hello, Madam. The Second Master and Second Madam are in the young lady's room, and the three young masters are also here."
"Well, come on, help me go see your lady."
"Yes, ma'am."
The beautiful woman glared at her three sons: How did you invite the old lady here?
The three brothers shrugged and spread their hands to indicate: Who knows.
Ouyang Jin quickly walked outside to greet his mother: "Your son greets you..."
Madam Ouyang raised her hand and said, "Alright, alright, I'll go see Miss Luo..."
"Yes." Ouyang Jin followed Madam Ouyang respectfully and walked towards the inner room.
Old Madam Ouyang came into the inner room and saw the woman sobbing with her head down. She didn't say anything, but there was a clear look of surprise on her face.
Ouyang Jin came to his wife Xu, patted her shoulder gently and whispered: "Madam, mother is here to see Luo'er..."
The beautiful woman then raised her head and looked at the old lady with a pair of red and swollen eyes. The next second, she knelt down in front of the old lady, kowtowed and begged: "Mother, please save Luo'er, save Luo'er..."
"She is only four years old. Please, mother, save Luo'er..."
Seeing their mother kneeling down to beg their grandmother, the three Ouyang Minglou brothers also plopped down on their knees and kowtowed to Madam Ouyang: "Grandmother, please save my sister..."
Seeing this, Old Madam Ouyang stretched her neck to take a look at the person on the bed.
The once adorable girl was now pale as paper, with a white gauze wrapped around her forehead. A large bloodstain had seeped out of the gauze, revealing that this usually sharp-tongued girl was now lying quietly on the bed, lifeless...
At this moment, the scolding that was stuck in her throat was suppressed by the situation before her. She took a quiet look at the little person on the bed and sighed, "Everyone, get up. Xu, what did the doctor say?"
"Replying to Mother, the doctor said Luo'er lost too much blood, broke his left hand, and was frightened. He may have a high fever tonight. He said if he survives tonight and doesn't have a fever tomorrow, he'll need to be nursed for three to five months..."
Upon hearing this, Madam Ouyang was also surprised and said, "It's so serious, I can prescribe medicine."
"It's open. The maid has already started it."
Madam Ouyang nodded and went to the outer room and said to a maid in a pink dress, "Fendai, get fifty taels of silver from my room for the Second Master, and then tell the housekeeper that the money for Miss Luo's medicine should be paid from our account.
"Yes, old lady, Fendai will go right away."
"Yes. Xu, come here, I have something to tell you."
Hearing this, and thinking of what the old lady had just told the maid, Xu felt that this was a reminder for her not to pursue the matter. This was the same trick every time. Did she really think she was made of clay?
Xu lowered her head, concealing the expression in her eyes. She walked to Old Madam Ouyang and bowed, "Mother, please speak."
