Chapter 209 A scam?

As soon as the second brother heard Xiao Xixi's voice, he knew something was wrong.

While Qin Qixuan was still not able to react, he ran away in a flash.

When Qin Qixuan regretted and wanted to take back his invitation, he found that the second brother had run far away and could not be seen anymore.

Qin Qixuan was not only angry, but the second brother, who usually had a bad brain, was flexible at this time.

However, he could accept General Helian marrying his mother. Since the second brother wanted to give the invitation to General Helian and was not an unreliable person, let him go.

As Qin Xixi thought, the second brother ran out of the mansion and went to the general's mansion to find Helian Shi.

He was still thinking about the fact that Helian Shi's rival was about to return to the capital. As soon as he arrived at the mansion, although he was still out of breath, he quickly handed the invitation to Helian Shi.

"General, this is my mother's invitation to the martial arts competition to recruit a husband. If my mother didn't send you the invitation herself, you must seize this opportunity."

When Helian Shi saw the invitation, he was obviously stunned, and then smiled bitterly.

"Alas, if you had sent the invitation earlier, I wouldn't have to do this."

This sentence was inconsistent, and the second brother couldn't help but feel a little strange.

What is General Helian talking about, and what kind of riddle is he telling?

Helian Shi saw his puzzled expression, sighed, and explained to him what happened before.

"I just came back home, not long before you came. I met your mother on the road and talked about the martial arts competition for marriage. She invited me to be the referee of this competition."

Hearing this, the second son was even more shocked and asked hurriedly.

"General, you won't agree to my mother, right?"

Helian Shi nodded with a wry smile.

"If I don't agree to your mother, she will definitely not give me the invitation to the martial arts competition for marriage, and it will be even more impossible for me to become the son-in-law of the Qin Mansion."

The second son also understood this truth in his heart.

However, he didn't expect his mother to be so cruel and didn't want to be with Helian Shi so much. In order to reject Helian Shi, she directly asked him to be the referee of the martial arts competition for marriage. He couldn't help but cast a sympathetic look at Helian Shi.

Helian Shi saw that the second son didn't say anything for a while, and understood that he didn't know what to do.

However, Helian Shi had waited for so many years, and only he knew the sadness during this period. He was not very upset, and he comforted the second brother.

"You don't have to intervene in this matter, I know it in my heart."

He changed the subject and began to talk to the second brother about another matter.

"Let's not talk about this matter for now. I just happen to have something else to tell you."

"Today, my spies found out something that is still related to you, but I will give you a heads-up first, and you may not like to hear it. Well... So I decided to ask you first, do you really want to know about this matter."

The second brother thought that the only thing that could make Helian Shi so hesitant, and he might not like to hear it, he thought about it, and it was only about Su Xiaoxiao.

After all, he and Helian Shi had the same opinions most of the time, and they rarely had different opinions on leading troops to fight. Only Su Xiaoxiao, Helian Shi has always looked down on Su Xiaoxiao, just like his mother.

Thinking of this, the second brother actually had some resistance in his heart, but he believed in Su Xiaoxiao very much, so he chose to continue listening.

Helian Shi would not slander Su Xiaoxiao. If he found out any other shortcomings of Su Xiaoxiao, as long as he was willing to tolerate it, the second brother believed that it would not be a problem.

"My people found out that it was not Su Xiaoxiao who saved you in the cave, but someone else."

Although he was prepared in his heart, the second brother was still shocked for a moment when he heard this.

This is not just a small problem, it has already involved whether Su Xiaoxiao lied to him.

The second brother felt uneasy for no reason.

But he believed in Su Xiaoxiao very much, so he didn't think what Helian Shi said was true, and thought Helian Shi was lying to him.

"General, even if you don't want me to be with Su Xiaoxiao, you don't have to tell me such lies. It's fake at first glance."

Lao Er looked at Helian Shi helplessly, but he saw that Helian Shi's expression was serious. Slowly, he realized that maybe Helian Shi really received such news, or maybe he really found relevant evidence. Lao Er couldn't help but panic.

If Su Xiaoxiao hadn't saved him, then what was he doing during this time fighting with Qin Shu, conflicting with his family, and breaking up with so many people? Lao Er didn't want to face this fact, or maybe it was the truth. He couldn't help but evade in his heart.

"This, this is impossible."

The second brother was already a little dazed. He kept repeating this sentence. Helian Shi sighed when he saw this, and he could understand the second brother's expression.

"I know you may find it difficult to accept, but the facts I know are indeed like this, and it is unlikely to be false."

He felt a little reluctant, but he couldn't let the second brother continue to be trapped in Su Xiaoxiao's big pit.

"In a few days, the woman who really saved you in the cave and the woman who spent a night with you in the cave will come to the capital. As for how to choose, you should think about it carefully. Is your love or gratitude to Su Xiaoxiao? If your real benefactor comes to you, what should you do?"

Helian Shi sighed, let the second brother stay here to think about it, and he returned to the study.

The second brother really needs a space to think carefully.

Before he came back, he had already lost the reputation that women cherished because

Su Xiaoxiao saved him, and he felt guilty for a long time. Now Helian Shi suddenly told him that he had directed all his guilt at the wrong person. The good feelings he had developed towards Su Xiaoxiao because she saved him seemed like a joke.

The second brother was struggling in his heart. Although Su Xiaoxiao was not the one who saved him in the cave at the beginning, she did accompany him to the capital alone. She was also the one who kept him company when he was lost, said sweet words to coax him, and made plans for him. The two of them also went through many ups and downs together.

As for the question asked by Helian Shi, was his feeling for Su Xiaoxiao love or gratitude?

Even the second brother himself couldn't tell clearly.

His mind was occupied by various things, and his emotions were mixed. Various memories exploded in his mind, leaving him at a loss as to what to do.

The second brother was in a daze, not knowing how he had left the general's mansion, and his emotions were on the verge of collapse.
