Everyone in the Xiao family was shocked. Soon, everyone knew that Xiao Cunyu had returned injured. Although the servants did not dare to say it out loud, they all felt that the Seventh Young Master was usually very arrogant, and it was really rare that he was beaten only now.
Xiao Jingyun had just finished his shift and was chatting with his wife about the stars and the moon when he heard the news. He immediately dropped everything and hurried to Xiao Cunyu's courtyard to take a look.
"Brother!" Xiao Cunyu's legs softened when he saw his brother, and he knelt on the ground with a plop. "Brother, it hurts so much... Look at my hand, it's broken. I might be a cripple in the future..."
“…” Li Chu’s chin trembled.
It's really not that serious.
Just now in the carriage, Xiao Cunyu was helping himself to snacks...
Xiao Jingyun looked as if all his energy had been drained from him in an instant. His face turned pale, and he didn't even dare to touch her arms. He held her shoulders with his stiff body. "Seventh brother...what happened to you? Who hurt you?!"
"Is it... me?" Li Chu raised his hand cautiously, "But... but I really didn't mean it. I really... don't know what happened..."
He thought, if he said now that Xiao Jia Qilang was pretending, then as Xiao Qi's elder brother, he would definitely say that he was cruel and vicious, right?
"You? Who are you! Why did you hurt my seventh brother!" Xiao Jingyun was furious, and his eyes seemed to want to execute Li Chu by slow slicing.
"Brother... don't blame him. It was all my own carelessness. I clearly couldn't beat them, but I still went up to show off my strength. So I was accidentally thrown several meters away and almost broke my bones. But don't worry, Master Zhu said that I will be fine after some rest... But I won't be able to lift heavy objects in the future, and I don't want to get injured again, otherwise I will spend the rest of my life in bed..." Xiao Cunyu said, with snot and tears, "Brother, you see, I must have suffered retribution. I told you fortunes earlier, but you and sister-in-law refused to give me money..."
"If you reveal the secret, you will die young. My bad luck has come. There will be no good days from now on..."
Xiao Cunyu really cried.
The tears fell down.
Normally, a grown man crying like this would be looked down upon, but he was used to being pitiful, so there was nothing wrong with him looking like this.
When Xiao Jingyun heard this, his heart ached. Before he had time to doubt it, Xiao Cunyu tremblingly handed the letter from the old headmaster to his elder brother.
After reading it, Xiao Jingyun became even more convinced that Xiao Cunyu was injured.
My seventh brother’s classmates might lie, and my seventh brother himself wasn’t an honest man either, but the old headmaster wouldn’t mess around with them.
"Seventh brother, I will ask the second brother to come over and take a look at you. Don't worry, your second brother is an excellent doctor and he will definitely be able to cure you." Xiao Jingyun said hurriedly.
"No, I know my own body well, and I don't want to make my second brother sad too." Xiao Cunyu wiped away a tear, "I don't want to talk about this anymore. Isn't it just being a cripple? I used to be crippled too. Big brother, have you forgotten how you despised me? Besides...when my second brother sees me again, he'll definitely look at me with sympathy. I'll have no dignity left. I might as well have just joined my parents."
Li Chu pursed his lips and almost felt guilty because of Xiao Cunyu's words.
His eyes were dull and he chuckled silently. Xiao Jingyun heard the soft sound and stared at him angrily.
Li Chu was so scared that he quickly took a step back.
