Chapter 61 We are the villains
For a moment, Gu Qinghuai's interest in Qiuqiu reached its peak. He spent his days in the courtyard, with only the silent, mute servant for company. If this little guy were with him, every day would be so much more fun.
Should he send a letter to his father, whom he hasn't seen for many years?
Qiuqiu was observing the future villain candidates, who were potential partners for causing trouble in the future. Suddenly, she felt a burning gaze fall on her, and when she turned around, she met Gu Qinghuai's eyes.
The chubby little child tilted his head and sized him up for a while. Such a handsome older brother had never appeared in the story before, so it could only mean...
[What a handsome older brother! If he didn't appear in the story, he'd definitely be cannon fodder, dying in some deserted corner before even making an appearance.]
Gu Qinghuai wasn't offended by Qiuqiu's words; on the contrary, he agreed. He did indeed look like someone destined for an early death. Hearing that his father had already married, perhaps he no longer cared so much about his life or death.
But it's okay, he's so handsome, Chuchu will definitely protect him!
Gu Qinghuai felt a warmth in his heart and looked at Qiuqiu with gratitude in his eyes. Over the years, apart from Aunt Jin and the mute servant, no one had ever treated him so well.
He went from being Gu Qinghuai to going mad...
Just as he was about to take another look at the little child who had warmed his heart, a large face suddenly filled his field of vision.
Su Xiucheng lay half-crawling on the bed, his face close to Gu Qinghuai's: "Hey, don't you have a sister? Why are you always peeking at my sister!"
Gu Qinghuai honestly replied, "I think I only have one younger brother."
Two years ago, Aunt Jin said that he was now the older brother because his stepmother had given birth to a younger brother. If they didn't have any more children, he probably wouldn't have a younger sister.
"If you want to verify this, you can write to my father and ask him."
Su Xiucheng: Go to hell!
Gu Qinghuai was no longer crazy, and even seemed particularly sincere, which made Su Xiucheng unable to utter any curses. He was defeated and stood sheepishly behind Su Jingwen.
He whispered, "Is this kid after our sister? Third Brother, get him!"
Su Jingwen rolled his eyes. This idiot's all height and no brains. Wouldn't it be better to have another person who likes to chirp?
From now on, the whole capital will be filled with my brothers. I can call out a dozen of them if there's a fight. Let's see who dares to bully Qiuqiu!
When Qiuqiu saw that the young man had managed to make her fourth brother retreat in grief and indignation with just a few words, her eyes lit up. Indeed, sincerity is the greatest killer move!
Su Xiucheng was angry that even his own brother wouldn't help him.
In a fit of anger, he grabbed her and carried her away, even using his sleeve to block her view.
The brother and sister squatted in the corner, and the older brother earnestly taught his younger sister: "Chiu Chiu, we should have a longer-term perspective. Why are you always looking at faces?"
"Listen to your brother, you can't eat your face!"
Suddenly unable to see the young man who had filled her with such excitement, Chiu Chiu became a little anxious. Hearing her fourth brother's words, she became even more confused: "But I'm not human, am I?"
The koi fish fry all prefer those that are good-looking!
[Why can't a face be eaten? I'm so beautiful, there are plenty of empresses in the palace who would fight to feed me!]
Su Xiucheng: "..."
I've become completely withdrawn.
None of them knew who Gu Qinghuai was, and he refused to say. So they ignored him, left him alone in the room, and left.
Wangchun Pavilion is so big and it's unlikely to be lost; we shouldn't waste their hard-earned holiday.
Chiu Chiu quite liked this young man, but gradually lost herself in Su Xiucheng's repeated exclamations of "delicious!"
Who is the older brother?
Chuchu has many older brothers!
It smells so good!
A group of people, including Wang Xinyu, ran off with cheerful steps, leaving only Gu Qinghuai leaning there in a daze in the silence.
This is the first time I've ever hated being alone so much!
The scaffolding was set up as agreed, and the servants had prepared the meat. All they had to do was roast it over the fire to enjoy the pleasure of a picnic.
The little princes' happiness is so simple. This is a real pity for Qiuqiu; his mouth is watering, he can only look but not eat.
Heavens above, is this your punishment for me?!
Under Qiuqiu's watchful gaze, Su Xiucheng flipped the roasted meat over. It was sizzling and smelled delicious, making Qiuqiu's mouth water!
Why are my eyes filled with tears? Because I love barbecue so deeply!
"Pfft, hahaha!"
Su Xiucheng swore to God that he really couldn't hold back; he even pinched his thigh until it was bruised.
Jiang Yuming leaned closer, casually picked up a skewer, and pretended that he was just doing it on a whim, asking nonchalantly, "Brother Xiucheng, what are you laughing at?"
Su Xiucheng found it even funnier when he saw Jiang Yuming's chubby face. He thought about all the painful things in his life but still couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth from turning up: "I was thinking about your peerless beauty, your aloofness, and your ethereal appearance."
It's really hard to imagine how Jiang Yuming later became the Imperial Advisor.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Yuming nodded seriously, and patted Su Xiucheng's shoulder with deep emotion: "As expected, Brother Xiucheng has the best eye. I have a good foundation, but I don't know why I gain weight even from drinking water and end up looking like this."
Jiang Yuming was right. When Jiang's father was young, he was a famous handsome man in the capital. The eldest princess fell in love with him at first sight and made a huge fuss about it. If it weren't for the fact that Lord Jiang was already engaged, he might have become the princess's husband.
Then there's Jiang's mother, a stunning beauty, every smile and gesture exuding charm. Jiang Yuming's older brothers and sisters all looked like they stepped out of a painting, but Jiang Yuming himself seemed like he'd been adopted.
Su Xiucheng carefully examined his features and could vaguely discern some of his parents' features.
"Brother Yuming will definitely achieve great things in the future!" He just needs to lose some weight.
Jiang Yuming immediately cheered, clapping his hands and exclaiming, "As expected, there are still people in this world who understand me!"
Chiu Chiu glanced at them, then continued staring at the skewers.
Why isn't the plate flipped yet, brother? It's almost burnt.
[Hmm, stop praising him. He'll lose weight when he grows up.]
[A scholar will die for one who pleases him; once you're all gone, he'll be wasting away. He'll reinvent himself and make a comeback!]
[Hehe, but with me here this time, Brother Yuming won't have a chance to lose weight!]
In the novel, Jiang Yuming is born stupid, and only the Su twins and Xue Zheng are on good terms with him. However, after Xue Zheng loses his leg, his personality changes drastically, and Jiang Yuming is shut out.
Later, Qiuqiu's two older brothers died tragically, and Xue Zheng also died suddenly. With his friends dying one after another, Jiang Yuming decided to investigate the truth.
However, he infringed upon Qiao Muyang's interests, and with the help of the Marquis of Wenyang's mansion, he attacked the Jiang family. After the Jiang family's downfall, the eldest princess spared Jiang Yuming's life in exchange for guarding the imperial tomb for life.
The book doesn't explain what happened to Jiang Yuming afterward. When he reappeared, he had become a wise and cunning imperial advisor, and he was locked in a life-or-death struggle with Qiao Muyang.
If it weren't for the huge bugs in this world, Qiuqiu thinks Jiang Yuming would definitely have been able to kill them.
She decided to recruit Jiang Yuming into her villainous camp ahead of schedule!
[Villain +1]
Su Xiucheng was already used to Qiuqiu spouting strange things out of nowhere, so he simply ignored it.
He handed the skewers in his hand to Jiang Yuming in front of Qiuqiu, saying, "Eat more."
Brother, we're waiting for him to make it big in the future!
Jiang Yuming politely declined, saying, "Thank you, but I'm starting my diet today!"
