Chapter 1156 Severing Ties
"Big Black!"
Luo Wang called out, and a large black dog jumped in through the window and went straight toward him.
The black dog had a beautiful coat, its fur was shiny, and it looked extremely majestic.
“I was away for several years and never returned to the capital. Dahei was raised in a separate courtyard and was always taken care of by the servants in the mansion.”
As Luo Wang spoke, he squatted down and patted Da Hei's head. Da Hei then affectionately rubbed against him.
"This black dog looks somewhat familiar."
Lin Yuesha suddenly realized that before leaving the capital, she had made a down jacket. Granny Fang didn't believe in superstitions and didn't think that light down could keep warm, so she plucked dog hair and made a vest. The victim was poor Dahei.
Afterwards, the Prince of Luo was so angry that he almost had a heart attack, and punished Granny Fang by making her stay to take care of Dahei for a long time.
It is said that this dog is very intelligent and takes pleasure in tormenting Granny Fang, whose fur is damaged every day. Granny Fang's old arms and legs are about to break, and she is suffering terribly.
"Uncle, you don't want me to take care of Dahei, do you?"
Lin Yuesha couldn't believe it and sought confirmation from Luo Wang.
“Exactly. Dogs don’t live as long as humans. Dahei is already six years old, which is equivalent to a person’s forty years old. In terms of seniority, he can be my elder brother. Even Xu Da has to call Dahei ‘elder brother’.”
The Prince of Luo doted on Dahei and had his uncle, Wang Bo, send him a bowl of meat bones.
Lin Yuesha carefully considered the matter and concluded that the Prince of Luo was insulting Xu Da.
"Uncle, don't dogs eat bones?"
Looking at the plate in front of her, with meat smeared all over the large bone, Lin Yuesha, thinking about how she had brought a bone that had been completely cleaned out, asked sincerely.
"Who told you that dogs eat bones and meat? Poor people's dogs can't afford meat, so of course they need some bones. But Dahei is different. Dahei is more sincere than some people. He won't betray his brothers, and he won't pressure you to get married."
As Luo Wang spoke, he pulled Da Hei into his arms again.
Xu Da, who was nearly exhausted from being dragged out of the latrine, had just reached the door when he heard the Prince of Luo spouting nonsense.
"Xiao Chengyu, who are you alluding to?"
Xu Da lifted the curtain and staggered in, demanding an explanation.
If we compare him to a dog, what did Xu Da do wrong?
They brought generous gifts, only to be met with indifference and humiliation.
Even the strongest brotherhood can't withstand this kind of torment; Xiao Chengyu is simply unreasonable!
"Woof woof woof!"
Sensing that its master was threatened, Dahei stood in front of Luo Wang in a fit of rage, stomping its front paws hard on the ground, ready to pounce on Xu Da at any moment.
"You, you... ptooey!"
Xu Da was a frequent visitor to the Prince's villa. He often bathed Da Hei and fed it bones with Prince Luo. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Da Hei was Da Hei's second master.
Now, Big Black is following King Luo and treating him like this, as if it might come up and tear him apart at any moment.
Like owner, like dog; a dog that relies on its owner's power is a lackey!
Xu Da not only felt insulted, but also felt deeply hurt. Today, he made it clear that he would sever ties with Xiao Chengyu!
What brotherhood? Xu Da is less than a dog, it's all bullshit!
"Sever diplomatic ties? Fine, let's sever ties then. Who's afraid of who?"
The Prince of Luo was just saying something in anger, and Xu Da showed no leniency whatsoever, so why should he be expected to be magnanimous?
Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. After so many years of friendship, this was the first time that the Prince of Luo saw Xu Da's true colors.
"Okay, if you're not afraid, I'm not afraid either."
Xu Da felt a surge of anger rush to his head; his sincere heart had been wasted.
That's enough. Relationships between people are all about fate. When fate runs out, it's time to part ways.
Xu Da pulled a dagger from his pocket, startling Lin Yuesha who was standing nearby.
"Cousin, what are you doing?!"
They agreed to apologize together, but Lin Yuesha only guessed the beginning and not the end.
The two men, Luo Wang and Xu Da, were both over fifty years old, yet they were surprisingly naive, arguing like elementary school kids.
They used sarcasm and innuendo with remarkable fluency, neither willing to back down, suggesting they had likely studied the art of arguing extensively.
"Cousin, don't worry, it's not an assassination attempt."
As Xu Da spoke, he used his dagger to cut a piece of cloth from the hem of his robe, threw it on the ground, and said coldly, "This is called severing ties. Xiao Chengyu, from now on, you and I are no longer brothers!"
These words were truly serious. Neither Luo Wang nor Lin Yuesha had expected this. They exchanged a glance and fell silent.
The atmosphere inside the room was tense; you could hear a pin drop.
Seeing that things were not going well, Big Black swished its tail and ran away.
"well!"
The Prince of Luo was so angry that he clapped his hands and cheered for Xu Da.
Seeing that there was no way to back down, Xu Da snorted coldly, turned around, and strode out the door.
Just as Lin Yuesha was about to go out to call for help, Luo Wang stopped her, saying, "Lin girl, since Xu Da has severed ties with me, let him go."
"Uncle, don't you know my cousin's temper?"
Lin Yuesha tried her best to defend Xu Da, saying, "He's not feeling well and he was just talking nonsense in a moment of confusion. Once he's sober, he will definitely apologize to you and he will come back."
Since we've already severed ties, it's better not to meet.
Luo Wang flicked his sleeves, sat back in his chair, and continued to sulk.
As soon as the two finished speaking, the curtain at the door was opened, and Xu Da turned back and strode into the room.
"Words spoken are like water spilled; you regret them so quickly?"
Just as the Prince of Luo was about to continue berating Xu Da, Xu Da completely ignored him and sneered, "Regret? That's not an option!"
He drank the tea leaves that had been soaked in styrofoam, and he didn't blame his brother. He thought that if his brother took a step back, the matter would be over. However, Xu Da didn't expect that the King of Luo would compare him to Da Hei behind his back.
"I treated you like a brother, and you treated me like a dog?"
As Xu Da spoke, he snatched Lin Yuesha's willow basket and stuffed all the old sea cucumbers, bird's nest, and other items into it. During the search, the sea cucumbers were knocked to the ground.
Xu Da abandoned the sea cucumber, quickly packed up the rest of the tonics, and gritted his teeth, saying, "If we're not brothers, why should I give you gifts? Give them to me!"
After saying that, Xu Da left without looking back.
"Even if a miser is gilded, it doesn't change his nature!"
The Prince of Luo spoke recklessly, which made him so angry that his chest ached.
"Uncle, please don't take it to heart by your cousin's name. At least he left you a packet of sea cucumbers."
Lin Yuesha was on the verge of tears; the slap in the face had come so quickly.
"That's because he didn't want to bend down to pick them up. Besides, the sea cucumbers transported from the fishing village are yours, and he didn't have to spend any money on them!"
Luo Wang wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. He needed to rest, otherwise Xu Da would really make him faint from anger.
Seeing that the Prince of Luo had entered the inner room, Lin Yuesha didn't want to disturb him. She opened her mouth, but in the end, it turned into a sigh.
It should have been a relatively happy ending, but it turned out like this. Qin Nanyan is still waiting in the garden. Lin Yuesha doesn't know how to explain this now.
What's even more troublesome is that if this matter isn't handled properly, Lin Yuesha will be caught in the middle, pleasing neither side.
