As the only son of the fifth house, Xiao Cunyu naturally had to participate in the ancestral sacrifice, so this was not a punishment at all. As for kneeling for an hour... it was actually nothing. If it were in other families, if someone damaged the heirloom, they would have to kneel for several nights at least, and might even be beaten.
When Xiao Cunyu thought about the fact that he had carefully selected the most valuable one but ended up breaking it, he felt so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
At this moment, there was no need for her brother to say much, she already looked like a wilted flower seedling, listless.
Seeing him so decadent, Xiao Jingyun would become even more soft-hearted.
"Are there any treasures in our family that I don't know about? Next time I take action, I'd better be more careful..." Xiao Cunyu said dejectedly.
Xiao Jingyun said helplessly, "Next time? When will you let me go easy on you? You were brave enough to fight with your classmates in college, but how come you have lost all your nerve when you get home? Next time you're upset, just come to me and don't take it out on me anymore."
"Will Big Brother let me vent my anger?" Xiao Cunyu looked at him suspiciously.
"Yes." Xiao Jingyun thought for a moment, "I'll teach you a few tricks."
But after a few moves, it’s hard to say.
As the eldest brother, he has already shown great kindness.
Now that Xiao Cunyu was fine, the two brothers finally breathed a sigh of relief. They both had important matters to attend to, so they left quickly. Before leaving, Xiao Jingyun suddenly turned around and said, "The person who attacked you last time will probably not do that again."
Because he was worried about Li Chu again, Xiao Jingyun didn't dare to mention the King of Yue directly.
"Brother, did you kill someone?" Xiao Cunyu said deliberately.
Xiao Jingyun's anger surged in his chest, but he immediately suppressed it: "I'm just a small official, how could I have such great abilities? I just did some tricks to remind the other party."
As a minister, he certainly could not deal with the King of Yue, but that did not mean he had to watch his seventh brother suffer such a great loss.
If it weren't for Wen Mianmian and Tieyi, Seventh Brother would probably have lost his life, which is why he agreed to keep Wen Mianmian.
The biological mother of King Yue, Concubine Xian, was just a palace maid before. Later, she was able to climb to the position of Concubine Xian because of her son's status. However, Concubine Xian's maternal family was still not prominent enough. Her family members were extremely mediocre like King Yue. But at least they became royal relatives and could always make some money.
The uncle of the King of Yue is now also a minor official, mainly responsible for royal banquets and sacrificial matters, a sixth-rank position. Several of the King of Yue's cousins, who are already able to serve in the government, have also been promoted to officials, such as supervisors of food, registrars, and officials... Although they are not in the upper echelons, they are also considered small and lucrative jobs.
In such a large family, there is currently only one promising and capable companion to the King of Yue, but he is too young and cannot carry the team.
Most of the other members of the Zhang family are honest in their work, but with so many family members, things are bound to go wrong.
Xiao Jingyun directly found something wrong with the Zhang family, used his connections, and found an excuse to make the Zhang family lose an important person.
He did not hide it from the King of Yue, and even told him openly that it was he who did it. This way the King of Yue would know what was going on, and would know whether he could kill his brother at will in the future.
The Zhang family had no fame or strength, so it was not easy for them to get a few jobs. With Xiao Jingyun's move, the master and brothers of the Zhang family were kicked out.
But because the Zhang family was not well-known, this matter did not even cause a small wave in the capital.
