Chapter 250 Why is it him?
"Azhi!" Shao Mingjie suddenly burst in and grabbed his sister's wrist. "What nonsense are you talking about? What are you going to do to Miss Xu? How did you become such a girl?!"
He was drinking tea in the outer hall when a little fox suddenly came from somewhere and snatched away his snacks. On a whim, he chased after it and heard Shao Zhi throwing a tantrum inside.
Shao Zhi was indeed shocked, and then became angry: "Brother, are you still my brother? You didn't even ask what injustice I suffered, and you blame me?"
Shao Mingjie asked back: "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine on the surface now!" Shao Zhi said angrily, "But don't you know what Xu Chuchu did to me? She stole my future husband and made me the laughing stock of the entire capital! She fed me that slippery snake and tortured me! She threatened me! Don't you know all this?"
"Azhi, I've explained so much to you, why can't you listen?" Shao Mingjie's temper flared up, regardless of whether Xia Wanqing was nearby or not. "Who is your future husband? Xiao Yu? Has he ever acknowledged you? It's all your wishful thinking. No wonder the noble ladies laughed at you. Didn't you almost kill them by feeding them that slippery snake? Azhi, you always think you're not wrong, and it's everyone else's fault?"
"So what!" Shao Zhi practically roared, "Is it wrong for people to seek their own way out? Isn't it right to resist and retaliate when wronged? Aren't you my brother? Shouldn't you protect your sister unconditionally? If you remain neutral like this, what's the difference between you and a passerby? You're even worse than a passerby!"
"Of course I have to protect my sister! So I have to wake you up!" Shao Mingjie began to drag Shao Zhi out. "Today I will punish you by making you kneel in the ancestral hall until you think clearly!"
"Let me go! You are just my brother, you have no right to punish me!" Shao Zhi suddenly got the strength from nowhere and broke free from Shao Mingjie, but she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Shao Mingjie watched his sister fall with a loud thud, and he couldn't bear it any longer: "Go home with your brother first, and we can talk slowly, okay?"
Shao Zhi didn't listen, her eyes moved and suddenly fell on the screen in the room.
Xia Wanqing was already nervous about the screen, and when she followed Shao Zhi's gaze, she immediately thought to herself that something was wrong.
The light of the afternoon sun changed, and it hit the screen from behind, and the outline of a person could be vaguely seen.
Shao Zhi discovered that there was someone behind the screen——
"Heh." Shao Zhi laughed sharply and rushed over. "It seems that 'after searching high and low for something, it finally came to me without any effort'."
She said why Xia Wanqing suddenly changed her mind. She obviously didn't like Xu Chuchu but she insisted on defending her... It seemed that she had been bribed a long time ago!
Xia Wanqing and Shao Mingjie both wanted to stop her, but they didn't expect that the usually delicate Shao Zhi would be so quick today.
"I want to see which thief it is!" She pushed the screen over with great force, her eyes flashing with triumphant joy.
However, the person who appeared in front of her was not Xu Chuchu, as she thought, but the face of a cold man.
Without a doubt.
This is Xiao Yu.
"No, no...why is it you?" Shao Zhi stepped back in horror.
The man who she just described as someone she loved but could not have and who was taken away by someone else, now became a demon that she had to avoid.
She remembered too well how terrifying Xiao Yu was. His temperament had changed drastically. He would not allow anyone to say anything bad about Xu Chuchu or do anything bad to her, otherwise he would torture them in the most cruel way.
He, he...how could he hear it, how could he be here!
Shao Zhi's gaze fell behind Xiao Yu and saw that Xu Chuchu, whom she hated to the core, was leaning on the soft-backed chair behind the screen, enjoying the afternoon sun comfortably, and seemed not to care at all about what was happening here.
They... they're really back together?!
"I should have told you not to appear in front of me again, right?" Xiao Yu's tone was calm, but everyone present could see that his eyes were full of anger.
Even Xia Wanqing, who had only met her a few times, could sense how much he cared about Xu Chuchu. It was like holding her in your mouth for fear she would melt, and holding her in your hands for fear she would drop.
If Xu Chuchu had a headache or a fever, or bumped into something, he would feel more distressed than if his own limbs were broken.
Now Shao Zhi actually dared to say so many slanderous words about Xu Chuchu in front of him, and even threatened to torture her... He didn't dare to think about what would happen next.
"Brother Xiao! Brother Xiao, don't be angry. I'll apologize to you, no, to Miss Xu on her behalf!" Shao Mingjie had just been harsh with Shao Zhi, but when it came to public matters, he still had to protect his sister.
He pushed Shao Zhi and said, "Hurry up and apologize to Miss Xu! Hurry up!"
However, Shao Zhi was completely frightened and huddled on the ground, shaking, unable to utter a complete word.
The scenes of Xiao Yu punishing her often haunted her like a nightmare.
Now the nightmare has become reality again.
She finally spoke, but what she said was: "Brother, brother, save me..."
Shao Mingjie knew that Shao Zhi had made a big mistake, so he had no choice but to step forward and bow deeply to Xiao Yu.
"Brother Xiao, Ah Zhi has evil intentions and has committed countless crimes. I refuse to defend myself. I believe it's also my fault for not being able to discipline her effectively," he said. "But, please also consider... the consequences haven't happened yet, and Miss Xu is fine. For the sake of our friendship over the years... please let her go, okay?"
He looked down at the sobbing Shao Zhi and glanced at the wide-open door.
However, Xiao Yu realized his intention almost immediately, snapped his fingers, and the door closed by itself.
"Ah - no, no!" Shao Zhi screamed in fear, and Shao Mingjie and Xia Wanqing were also startled.
It is said that Xiao Yu has practiced some kind of physiognomy, but no one has ever seen it with their own eyes.
Closing the door through the air was beyond their comprehension.
"Has the bad consequences not happened yet?" Xiao Yu asked softly, "If it had happened, would there be any point in pursuing it?"
Shao Mingjie: "But..."
"This matter has nothing to do with you, Brother Shao." Xiao Yu interrupted him, "Sit down."
Shao Mingjie certainly had no intention of sitting down, but his body slowly retreated as if out of control. His knees gave way, and he sat down on the stool.
Then my limbs seemed to be glued to the chair and I couldn't move them anymore.
Is this... also Xiao Yu's ability? !
Xiao Yu looked at Shao Zhi, who suddenly covered her stomach and rolled on the ground screaming.
"No, no—I didn't mean to appear in front of you. Please, let me go! I promise, I promise to get away from you!"
Although there was no movement from the food Xiao Yu fed her, he could torture her anytime he wanted!
"Tell me first, what do you know?" Xiao Yu straightened his sleeves and sat opposite her.
