The next day, several senior brothers and their master got up early, and Ye Bosen also got up very early to make breakfast for everyone.
In the kitchen, only Ye Bosen and his fourth senior brother were busy. Ye Bosen was cooking, and his fourth senior brother was in charge of tending the fire.
Xiao Qianqian and her two babies were still not awake.
The eldest brother, the third brother, and the master were exercising in the courtyard.
"I feel like I've returned to the time when I was studying here," the senior student remarked while exercising.
"Yes, back then, you, my eldest brother, me, my second brother, my fourth brother, and I were all woken up early in the morning by Master to exercise in this courtyard. I was quite resentful of Master at the time, dragging us out of our warm beds before dawn."
"I remember you were the laziest back then. Your eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother all got up as soon as I called them, but you were always the one who wanted to stay in bed."
"Master, you still remember it so clearly?" The third senior brother scratched his head sheepishly.
"I remember every single one of you."
The master smiled and glanced at him.
"By the way, your second senior brother?"
The master looked at his two beloved disciples and couldn't help but ask, "This unfilial son, although he was expelled from the sect, he was still raised by him, so he still cares about him to some extent."
The third senior brother and the eldest senior brother exchanged a glance, a hint of hesitation on their faces.
The master noticed the hesitation on their faces; "What, has he harmed someone again? Speak your mind."
The two senior brothers exchanged a glance, hesitating whether to speak.
"Master, there's nothing I can't accept. Just say what you have to say." The master's expression became a little serious.
"Master, what about the second brother?"
The eldest brother was still considering how to say it.
"Third brother, what do you say?"
Seeing that the eldest brother had been stunned for a long time without saying anything, the master turned to the other one and asked.
"Master, my second senior brother... he harmed my brother-in-law and his uncle. He's in prison now and might not be out for several years."
"What? He went to harm Asen and Asen's second uncle?" Master was clearly shocked.
"Yes, Master." The eldest brother lowered his head after saying this.
"What happened? Why would he harm them?"
"Master, this is a long story." The third senior brother was still thinking about how to explain it to his master.
At this moment, Xiao Qianqian came out of the house, clearly having heard everything they were saying.
"Master, let me explain it to you."
Xiao Qianqian came over and helped her master sit down.
The master stared intently at his beloved young disciple: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
“Master, it’s like this. It turns out that Second Brother’s father was Grandpa Asen’s driver when he was young. Once, when he was out on business, he was chased by people. His father took a bullet for Grandpa and died. Grandpa didn’t know that his driver was already married and had children, so the aftermath was not handled properly. His mother had been living in poverty since her husband died, and she finally passed away after giving birth to him. Second Brother was pitifully thrown into the trash can.”
Xiao Qianqian paused for a moment, then continued, "Then, Second Senior Brother met you, Master, and you took him home."
After listening, the master remained silent for a long time, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"What does this have to do with him harming Asen?"
Xiao Qianqian continued, "After you, Master, kicked my second senior brother out, he kept investigating his background. Not long ago, he learned about his origins, and his heart was filled with resentment. He felt that if Asen's grandfather had handled the funeral arrangements properly, his mother wouldn't have died, and he wouldn't have suffered so much. That's why he was confused for a moment and wanted to take revenge on Asen's grandfather. He was blinded by hatred."
The master sighed, "This child is intelligent, but ultimately he has gone down the wrong path!"
"What about Uncle Asen's matter? What happened?"
"This matter? Come to think of it, he was also used by someone." Xiao Qianqian sighed after saying this.
"Were you used?"
"yes."
"What happened?"
"Master, this involves some very complicated matters, and I can't go into too much detail for you. I'll just tell you that this wasn't Second Brother's original intention; he was completely manipulated."
"Okay, if you won't tell me, I won't ask."
Xiao Qianqian glanced at her master and saw that he had his head down, his face was solemn, and he was not saying a word.
The senior and junior students exchanged glances, feeling a little worried.
After about ten minutes, the master finally raised his head; "Girl, make arrangements for me later, I'm going to go see him."
Xiao Qianqian replied, "Okay, Master, I'll pick you up as soon as I've made the arrangements."
"Um."
The atmosphere was a bit heavy, and just as everyone was silent, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.
Ye Bosen called out, "Breakfast is ready."
"Okay, coming right up," the senior brother called out.
After saying that, he took the lead in standing up, reached out to help his master up, and walked towards the house.
The two little ones, Yueyue and Doudou, also got up and were obediently setting out the bowls and chopsticks. When they saw the people coming in, they quickly and politely greeted them.
"Good morning, Grandpa. Good morning, Uncle. Good morning, Mom."
"Good morning, Grandpa. Good morning, Uncle. Good morning, Mom."
The group, who had been feeling rather heavy-hearted, quickly smiled and said, "Good morning, Yueyue and DouDou!" upon hearing the little cutie's sweet voice.
Ye Bosen placed a small bowl of porridge on the table and then invited everyone to sit down.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat somber. Ye Bosen sensed something was wrong and quietly asked Xiao Qianqian what had happened. Xiao Qianqian briefly explained what had happened to her second senior brother.
Ye Bosen frowned slightly after listening. "So what do you plan to do?"
Xiao Qianqian shook her head. "Let's do as Master says and let him go see Second Senior Brother."
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
"OK, thanks."
Ye Bosen reached out and squeezed her fingers: "There's no need for thanks between us. This is what I should do."
The fourth senior brother also sensed that something was wrong. He looked up and saw that everyone was rather silent, so he quickly turned to him and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, what happened? Why is everyone so down?"
"Master knows about the second brother's matter."
"Ah, Master found out so quickly."
"They'll find out sooner or later, and there's no point in hiding it."
"That's true. So, Master, now?"
"He wanted to go see the second son."
"Together?"
"Let's talk about it later. Maybe the second brother doesn't want to see us. He's a proud person too."
"That's true. Then let Junior Sister accompany Master."
"That's what I think too."
“Master must be very sad right now.”
"That's for sure. Master was in a pretty good mood when he woke up this morning, and now?"
After the eldest brother finished speaking, he looked at his master who was sitting down. He saw that his master did not have a smile on his face and seemed absent-minded even though he was eating.
"Should we stay and keep Master company a little longer?"
