Chapter 423: The Scheming Brother-in-law vs. the Unmarried Sister-in-law (07)



Ah Fu was confused when he heard this: "What are you talking about, Master?"

Xiao Heng put his hands on the edge of the table and pursed his lips: "Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you."

Ah Fu immediately retorted, "How would you know that I don't understand if you don't tell me? Sir, what happened? Why are you so depressed?"

Xiao Heng lives a heartless life. Ah Fu has served him for so many years, but this is the first time he sees him so depressed and unhappy.

Xiao Heng waved his hand: "Nothing, it's getting late, you should go back and rest first."

"Young Master always says Ah Fu is stupid. Although Ah Fu is not smart, he also wants to help you solve your problems. Young Master, just tell Ah Fu!"

Ah Fu was a stubborn person. The more Xiao Heng said he didn't understand, the more he wanted to prove that he could do it.

Xiao Heng turned his head and looked at Ah Fu, "Do you really want to help me solve my problems?"

"Uh-huh!"

Ah Fu nodded heavily, looking at Xiao Heng with sparkling eyes, waiting for him to speak.

"Then let me ask you, if the woman you like is of a different social status than you, and there is an insurmountable gap between you, what would you do?"

At Ah Fu's insistence, Xiao Heng told him what was on his mind.

Ah Fu thought for a moment and said, "Why is this so difficult? Young Master also said that it is a ravine that is difficult to cross, but it is not impossible to cross. Isn't it enough to fill the ravine?"

Xiao Heng, who originally just wanted to find someone to talk to, became interested after hearing this and no longer looked down on Ah Fu's stupid brain.

"And what if she is already engaged to someone else?"

Ah Fu muttered again, "Ah Fu had already asked the young master this question on the arch bridge, and the young master said at that time that he wanted to steal someone's girl."

Xiao Heng: “…”

The wind was so strong that my tongue seemed to be dislocated.

If it was someone else, he could try to steal her away, but that person is his brother! !

As the saying goes, don't cheat on your friend's wife.

Then the elder brother’s wife… can be bullied? ?

Bah! Xiao Heng suddenly shook off the messy thoughts in his mind.

What brother's wife? They just have an engagement, they haven't gotten married yet! "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

After Ah Fu finished speaking, he kept observing Xiao Heng's expression. Seeing his facial expression changing from time to time, he tilted his head curiously and asked.

"No, nothing."

Xiao Heng coughed twice and said, "Let me ask you one last question. If the girl you like has been engaged to someone since she was a child, and this person is someone very close to you, what would you do?"

This matter is the most difficult one for Xiao Heng.

On one side is his brother, and on the other side is the girl he fell in love with at first sight.

According to the Xiao family's ancestral precept, one should only marry one wife in his lifetime.

Both Xiao Heng's father and grandfather only married one wife and never took concubines in their entire lives.

Although Xiao Heng looks romantic and unruly on the surface, he is actually a romantic man at heart.

The Xiao family is a noble family that has inherited the title of marquis from generation to generation. His grandfather was even awarded the title of "Following the Dragon" and was a loyal minister who was highly trusted by the late emperor and a hero supported by the people.

Although Xiao Heng's parents died young while defending their country, leaving only the two brothers to depend on each other, the supreme glory of their marquisate will exist forever.

Marrying into a family as glorious as the Xiaohou Mansion without any disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the dream marriage for many girls in Kyoto.

It was no secret in Kyoto that Xiao Yan had been engaged to the general's daughter Jiang Li since he was a child. Also, based on the ancestral precepts of the Xiao Marquis's mansion, the girls in Kyoto did not dare to have any ideas about him no matter how much they admired Xiao Yan.

Xiao Heng, who is also the son of Marquis Xiao, became a hot commodity.

All those who came to propose marriage had to wear down the threshold of Xiao Hou's mansion! Xiao Heng, who was not in the mood for love, rejected all of them. In order to completely cut off everyone's thoughts, he even said that he admired the man.

In their spare time, his brothers liked to go to brothels to listen to music and watch dancers. Every time they invited Xiao Heng to go, he would refuse.

In Xiao Heng's opinion, that kind of entertainment is not as comfortable as riding a horse for a few laps in the racecourse.

After being rejected so many times, the brothers couldn't help but become suspicious.

How could anyone not be interested in such a delicate beauty? Those girls in the brothel were so pleasing to the eye!

Could this person really like men?

The moment this thought came up, Xiao Heng's brothers didn't even finish listening to the song, and ran all the way to Xiao Hou's mansion to ask Xiao Heng for confirmation.

They all covered their chests and looked at Xiao Heng vigilantly.

In the end, Xiao Heng kicked him hard on the buttocks. The people who came to verify the situation all covered their buttocks and screamed as they fled from Xiao Hou Mansion.

Although they chased the men away, their words lingered in Xiao Heng's mind.

Could it be that he really likes men, but he just doesn't realize it? Otherwise, why is he not interested in women at all?

It was not until today, after seeing Jiang Li, that Xiao Heng completely gave up this idea.

It’s not that he doesn’t like women, but he hasn’t met anyone who makes his heart beat fast.

Xiao Heng is like a lone wolf waiting for an opportunity. Once he identifies someone he likes, he will never change his mind in his life.

Either you stay together with the one you love forever, or you stay alone and live out your life with that burning love.

Now he finally met the person he recognized at first sight, but he was tripped before he took the first step.

But what Xiao Heng didn't expect was that the problem that was bothering him seemed extremely simple to Ah Fu.

"That's easy to say, sir. Even if some people have been engaged since childhood, it doesn't necessarily mean that they have the kind of feelings between men and women. Aren't there many examples of broken engagements in Kyoto?"

"Since you all know each other, why don't you just test their feelings? If they have feelings for each other, then you can bless them. If not, then your chance has come, right?"

Ah Fu didn't take it seriously and expressed his thoughts.

Xiao Heng's pupils gradually dilated and he hugged Ah Fu with excitement.

"Afu, you can do it!"

"Ahem, sir, let go, let go quickly!"

Ah Fu pushed Xiao Heng away with a red face and thick neck.

Xiao Heng relaxed with a look of joy on his face. After he was relieved of his worries, he was no longer depressed and looked radiant! "Sir, are you okay?"

Ah Fu looked at Xiao Heng with curiosity as he smiled, and asked tentatively.

Xiao Heng patted Ah Fu on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to Ah Fu for helping me solve my problems. I underestimated you before. I didn't expect that you are usually not very smart, but you are quite capable in this kind of thing!"

Ah Fu scratched his head and grinned: "Young Master, if you have any troubles in the future, you can tell Ah Fu. Ah Fu is willing to help you solve your problems!"

"Okay, go down and rest."

"Yes! Sir, remember to drink the hangover soup!"

After Ah Fu left, Xiao Heng, who had solved the mystery, picked up the hangover soup in front of him and drank it all, then went to the inner room.

Xiao Heng took off his outer robe and lay on the bed, grabbing a pillow and holding it in his arms.

After Jiang Li's face appeared in his mind, he turned over with his pillow in his arms, and buried his face in the pillow shyly.

Soon, there was a happy laugh coming from the bed...

Who wouldn't love a shy, innocent, and love-brained brother?
