Chapter 120 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue

That night, the perverted brother did not act up again, and there were no strange noises to wake him up from his sleep, but the sound of wind and snow was also very obvious to Pei Rui, and he still did not sleep well.

The next morning, Pei Rui curled up in the quilt and stayed in bed, not going to work.

System: [Xiao Mian did not seem to ask for leave.]

Xue Chen: [My boss said that I can go wherever I want to go without worrying about him. I just want to stay at home now.]

System: [No wonder you asked Zhui Ming to come back with you! So you want to skip work!]

Xue Chen: [I am considerate, right?]

System: [Nothing to say.]

The quilt was very warm, and Xiao Mian woke up and fell asleep again.

In comparison, the situation on the main body's side was much worse.

Maybe he didn't open enough vests, he got a fever halfway through the journey, and was dizzy all the way. Sometimes he would be offline while sitting there, and then he would be online again in a few seconds. He kept repeating this process while rushing on the road. Xue Chen kept logging in and out, and the system was numb.

System: [Why don't you just go to sleep, don't force yourself.]

Xue Chen: [I've been sleeping for a long time, and the more I sleep, the more sleepy I feel. And it's so uncomfortable to fall asleep, and I'm still logging in and out, which is no different from sitting here. Didn't you say that the synchronization rate of the vests can increase my soul strength? Why am I still so fragile?]

System: [Maybe it's because it increases the soul strength, not the body strength? 】

Xue Chen:【But I don't feel dizzy even if I lie down for a long time.】

System:【Wuwu, I don't know, I'm just guessing.】

Xue Chen said calmly:【I figured it out.】

Whenever the system uses uncertain words like "maybe" and "probably", it is talking nonsense and Xue Chen needs to figure it out himself.

If it were a slightly dumber host, he would have been fooled by the system long ago.

The carriage drove to the Taiping Palace. Xu Ji knocked on the window and whispered, "Prince, we're here."

"Yeah." Xue Chen responded vaguely, "Come and help me."

He was afraid that he would miss a step when he got off the car.

Xu Ji knew what was going on. He came to the carriage, took out a white fox cloak, put it on him, and helped Xue Chen get off the car.

Xue Chen: "No need to inform, just put your things away and go home. You've been out for so long, it's time to go home and rest."

Others responded one after another and rode their horses to the back door of the palace.

Xu Ji did not leave, he helped Xue Chen into the palace, and sent him to Gong Jiu's residence before leaving.

Gong Jiu was so noisy over there that he didn't notice him coming back.

Xue Chen lay on the bed: [I was wondering why it was so quiet last night, it turns out it was daytime, it was worth it that I specially attacked him.]

System: [You are already so sick, and you still want to teach Gong Jiu a lesson?]

Xue Chen: [That's why I have to teach him a lesson because I am so sick! If it weren't for him, how could I have gotten sick!]

System: [......]

With such a brother, Gong Jiu is really unlucky.

But Gong Jiu himself didn't think so, and still thought his brother was a god-like figure.

Xue Chen lay on the bed for a while, and repeated the process of logging on and off twice. He was afraid that he would fall asleep and miss the great opportunity to teach Gong Jiu a lesson, so he climbed up with difficulty.

Xue Chen came to the door, waited for the sound from next door to weaken, and it sounded like it had reached the final stage. He pushed the door open and walked out, walking heavily to his own yard.

He pushed the door, but it didn't open.

Gong Jiu and Xiao He should be in the inner room, and the sound was a little far away. He asked coldly: "Who?"

Xue Chen didn't answer and continued to knock on the door.

Gong Jiu said, "You go and take a look."

Soon the door of the nursery room opened. Xue Chen, who was originally leaning against the door, almost fell in. Fortunately, Xiao He helped him up and he managed to stand.

Xiao He said in surprise, "Young Master?"

The heavy breathing in the room disappeared instantly.

Xue Chen walked forward with the support of Xiao He.

Xiao He had known for a long time that Xue Chen already knew everything. If he caught Gong Jiu doing that kind of thing, it would just be exposed.

But Xue Chen looked very bad. Xiao He was worried that he was confused at the moment and had not made plans to expose Gong Jiu, so she stopped him and grabbed him hard.

She accidentally touched Xue Chen's skin: "Master, your hands are so hot!"

Xue Chen reached out to untie his cloak: "Hot."

Xiao He touched his forehead: "Master, you have a fever."

She was really worried, and took Xue Chen to sit down on the low couch by the window, untied his cloak, and fed him some water.

Gong Jiu never came out, nor did he make any sound.

Xue Chen: [This idiot, must be scared silly.]

System: [He is being beaten in your room.]

Xue Chen: [It doesn't matter, I will write him another account and I will get revenge later. Speaking of which, I owe him so much, no matter how I persecute him, I will have no psychological pressure.]

System: [...]

Have you ever had psychological pressure?

Xiao He took an ice towel and put it on his forehead, then covered him with a quilt.

Xue Chen half-closed his eyes: "Are we home yet?"

Xiao He wiped his palms: "We are already home. How did you get such a bad fever? How did those people take care of you? Damn it."

Xue Chen closed his eyes: "Where is Lian'er?"

Xiao He did not dare to answer.

Gong Jiu came out of the inner room wearing a scarlet robe and saw his brother lying on the couch, with white corners of his clothes showing under the quilt. Obviously, he was still dressed like himself.

"Brother, I'm here."

He waved his hand to let Xiao He leave, sat down next to Xue Chen, reached out and touched his forehead, then injected his inner strength into him, helping Xue Chen's own inner strength to circulate a circle, and Xue Chen immediately felt much better.

He continued to open his eyes: "What's that smell on you?"

Gong Jiu's body stiffened, then relaxed, and said nonchalantly: "Brother, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back? I could go out to greet you."

Xue Chen held his dizzy forehead: "It's terribly cold."

Gong Jiu shouted outside: "Xiao He, go add another brazier."

Xue Chen: "No need, I mean it was terribly cold on the way, and I really didn't have the energy to take care of other things, so I didn't tell you in advance."

Gong Jiu asked Xiao He to leave: "So that's how it is."

Xue Chen sat up and leaned against the head of the couch: "How have you been these days?"

Gong Jiu: "Everything is fine."

Xue Chen had been away for a long time, and only Pei Rui was closer to here, but he still had to go to work, so he would not monitor Gong Jiu all day.

Even so, Pei Rui could hear some things about the "eldest son".

Since the last time he called Gong Jiu to eat, he has not pretended to be seriously ill again. According to Xue Chen's schedule, he would take a walk in the garden every day, but he never went to the warehouse to manage the accounts again, leaving all matters to the housekeeper.

When someone came to visit, Gong Jiu also met them personally.

Pei Rui occasionally heard other people in the Shenhou Mansion talking about the improvement of the health of the eldest son of the Taiping Palace.

Zhui Ming paid special attention to the eldest son played by Gong Jiu, and sometimes took the initiative to inquire about it, so that Pei Rui could get more information.

Xue Chen could be sure that when he left, Gong Jiu's free time every day did not exceed half an hour, and Xiao He was always with him. Under such circumstances, the probability of him doing evil was not high.

But...

his masochistic habit will not change.

Gong Jiu is very casual outside, he can be beaten whenever he wants. He has to be much more restrained in the Taiping Palace. First of all, he has to avoid the guards on duty outside, and also prevent himself and his father from visiting suddenly, so he arranges the time in the dead of night.

Now it has suddenly changed to daytime, there must be a reason.

Xue Chen lowered his eyes, pretending to be sleepy, thinking about what outrageous things his younger brother could do in the past few days.

Gong Jiu whispered: "Brother, if you are tired, lie down and take a nap."

Xue Chen: "There is some kind of incense lit in the room, the smell is so strong."

Gong Jiu: "I'll go open the window for fresh air."

Xue Chen: "Put out the incense."

Gong Jiu didn't hesitate at all: "Okay."

System: [He doesn't seem afraid at all. 】

Xue Chen:【Those are just superficial phenomena, and for the sake of my health, he will decisively extinguish the incense. He is very patient and smart, and will not show anything wrong directly. I guess he is trying to cover it up now. As for how panicked he is inside, we will see later. After all, he just called me "you"!】

System:【Wow, I didn't even notice.】

After the incense was extinguished, Gong Jiu wanted to open the window, but considering his brother's health, he finally didn't do it.

Xue Chen poured another glass of water, holding the cup with both hands, with a slight frown on his brows.

Gong Jiu: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere else?"

Xue Chen: "Headache."

Gong Jiu: "Can I rub it for you?"

Xue Chen: "Yes."

Gong Jiu walked over and stood in front of Xue Chen. He was about to rub his forehead as he did before, but Xue Chen stopped him directly.

Gong Jiu was at a loss: "Brother, what's wrong?"

Xue Chen closed his eyes, his face was extremely ugly: "The smell on your body...stay away from me."

Gong Jiu could no longer maintain his composure. He took a few steps back, sniffed his body, and found only a faint scent of incense.

But who can guarantee that he is not used to the smell and can't detect other smells on his body?

The smell of blood, and fishy smell.

The dirty clothes are still in the inner bedroom.

There are stains of his blood on the ground, which have not been cleaned up yet.

Gong Jiu was very nervous and was about to explain a few words, but he found that his elder brother's breathing was shallow and he seemed to have fallen asleep.

His panic emotions stagnated and all remained in his heart with nowhere to vent.

Gong Jiu came to the door with an ugly face and waved Xiao He to come over: "Do I smell?"

Xiao He: "Only the smell of incense."

Gong Jiu still didn't dare to feel at ease, because Xiao He had also stayed in there for a long time.

He pointed inside and asked Xiao He to go in and deal with the dirt, while he stayed by his brother's side with an unpredictable expression.

If his brother knew, how would he treat him?

Would he think he was disgusting, or would he tolerate everything about him, just like he knew about the matter of the Nameless Island?

Whether it was the former or the latter, he didn't need to endure it anymore, and could appear in front of his elder brother in his most authentic appearance.

My eldest brother once said that no matter what he looks like, they are brothers.

System: [Are you going to expose him?]

Xue Chen: [He still hasn't taken revenge for several times, how can I let him off easily? Exposing him now will do me no good, only harm. I'll consider this matter after I've completely suppressed him.]

System: [But from your performance just now, it seems that you have smelled the strange smell in the house.]

Xue Chen: [The smell of incense is quite strong.]

Xiao He cleaned up the inner room, holding the dirty clothes and carpet, and walked out quietly.

Xue Chen squinted his eyes, saw Xiao He tiptoeing, and asked, "What did you take?"

Gong Jiu's heart was lifted.
