Xiao Jingyun didn't even turn his head. The noisy sound behind him made him want to cover his ears immediately.
The seventh brother was so rich, yet he was crying poor in front of him...
Xiao Jingyun felt helpless and smiled bitterly.
However, after returning, Xiao Jingyun couldn't help but think of his seventh brother's usual behavior, and suddenly some doubts came over him...
It's been so long since my seventh brother returned, and it seems the shopkeeper hasn't come to report on the store's farmland output... What's going on? Could it be that the shopkeeper, seeing his young age, dares to embezzle his master's money?
But it seems unlikely. Even if there is a dishonest shopkeeper, he would not dare to do it so blatantly.
Unless... Seventh Brother is really poor?
Xiao Jingyun shook his head again. How could that be possible? Back then, my grandparents loved their youngest son so much that the publicly available property was indeed divided according to the law. However, most of my grandfather's private collection and grandmother's dowry were left to my fifth uncle. My grandfather had amassed countless fine goods during his conquests, so it could be said that my fifth uncle was definitely the richest of all the brothers.
This matter was also agreed upon by his father and several uncles. After all, his fifth uncle had stayed alone in the clan territory since he was a child, and they had indeed treated him badly, so this was to make up for it. Moreover, compared with the other aunts, the fifth aunt came from a poor background and had no dowry. Afraid that the fifth uncle's children would feel sad, the grandmother also gave them 64 sets of dowry.
Xiao Jingyun waved away the messy thoughts in his mind, thinking that he might have been thinking too much.
He has sent a pigeon to the clan's territory, asking people to investigate everything about his seventh brother. It won't be long before everything becomes clear.
He also wanted to know how much wealth his seventh brother had to be so stingy and extravagant.
He is generous and never stingy when spending money on his "good friends", but he is very frugal when spending money on his family members.
Xiao Cunyu felt a little disappointed that she didn't get the silver, but she also thought that she could only leave the house pitifully. As soon as she left the Xiao family, Wen Mianmian in the small courtyard of the Xiao family breathed a sigh of relief.
This task is really too difficult.
I originally thought that a woman who was in mourning, had lost her parents and relatives, and looked so pitiful, would definitely make the man feel extremely distressed, but in the end... this man from the Xiao family was really too cruel.
Even though Xiao Jingyun was badly injured, he was still on guard. Every time she went to visit him, his face was almost filled with disdain. Her tenderness and caution were all shattered in front of this big man. There were always annoying servants in Xiao Jingyun's room, making it difficult for her to start.
She originally thought that Xiao Jingyun was difficult to deal with, but Xiao Jia Qilang was a young and energetic boy after all, so he must be easier to coax.
But I never thought that this person... is shameless.
She is such a young girl, but she was raised two generations!
What was she doing in the mansion now? The servants would call her "Granny" whenever they saw her. If they called her that often, how could she... how could she act like a spoiled child? She had grown several wrinkles because of Xiao Qilang's anger!
Wen Mianmian let out a breath, left the servants behind, and sent a letter out.
I hope the master will take her away.
She really couldn't stand staying in this kind of place any longer, eating, drinking and enjoying herself all day long. If she continued like this, she would almost think that she was the savior of this family!
However, before getting a response from his master, Xiao Cunyu went out and came back.
She was also holding two pots of small yellow flowers, which were fragrant and full of the breath of spring. I couldn't help but feel happy at first sight.
Wen Mianmian's face was almost frozen with laughter.
