Chapter 303 Let me ask you, where is the evidence?

Xing Xing suddenly remembered something, her face fell, and she shyly used a spoon to stir the bowl. Guiltily, she looked up and stole a glance at Bo Ge'er's face: "...Oh, there's something wrong. I told you, second brother, don't be angry."

Bo Ge'er was amused by Xing Xing's cautious look: "Hey, what's wrong? Xing Xing, did you poke a hole in the sky?"

"No." Xing Xing's eyes wandered, and she whispered, "It was just that I went out shopping a few days ago, and passed by a restaurant. The people in the restaurant were placing bets. Qin Jingqian actually had a better chance of winning than my third brother, and I was so angry that I..."

Xing Xing quickly explained: "I really didn't mean to gamble, I just couldn't help being angry..."

Bo Geer laughed: "I thought something had happened. That's it?"

Xing Xing used the spoon to stir the chicken soup in her bowl again and said guiltily, "...I know gambling is not good...just this once..."

Bo Geer picked up a piece of pork chop for Xing Xing with a serving chopstick, feeling rather helpless: "Are you afraid that I will find out that you go gambling and then scold you? But Xing Xing, I know you well. You are not a gambler. I have confidence in you. You are a good child with self-control."

Xing Xing was stunned for a moment, then she smiled brightly and shook her head: "Second brother is so nice!"

Liu Ge'er was listening at the side, and suddenly asked out of the blue: "Xingxing, how much did you bet?"

Xing Xing froze visibly for a moment, then timidly stretched out two fingers.

Bo Ge'er guessed: "Two hundred taels?"

Xingxing shrank her neck.

Bo Ge'er was a little surprised: "Two thousand taels?... Well, two thousand taels is not bad. Xingxing, if you don't have any money, just tell your second brother. Your second brother has kept a lot of your dividends from previous years for you..."

As a result, before Boger could finish his words, he saw Xingxing still shrinking her neck like a little quail.

Bo Ge'er took a deep breath and asked tentatively, "Bao, did you invest... 20,000 taels?"

Not to mention Bo Ge'er, even Liu Ge'er was stunned.

He was holding a piece of shrimp in his hand, and the shrimp fell onto the table with a thud.

Xing Xing raised her little face, sniffed pitifully at Bo Ge'er and Liu Ge'er, and said weakly: "...They are so abominable. That Qin Jingqian is so despicable, he wants to harm my third brother for life. Those people also forced him to be the champion of the Jieyuan. I, I don't accept it..."

Bo Geer didn't know what to say.

The ten-year-old sister bet twenty thousand taels in one go, betting that her brother would win.

Should he be touched that his sister trusts her brother so much, or should he be amused and confused?

Liu Ge'er put down his chopsticks, feeling a sense of fulfillment that someone believed in him. He smiled helplessly, "... No, Xingxing, do you really believe that I can get the top honor? What if I fail the exam and don't get the top honor?"

Xing Xing said without hesitation, "...No, Third Brother will definitely pass the exam and get first place, second place, and third place! Three places in a row!"

Even Liu Ge'er felt his heart beat so hard by this deep trust that he was speechless for a moment.

In the end, all of Liu Ge'er's words were melted into one sentence: "...It seems that I have to work harder. I can't let Xing Xing's expectations go unfulfilled."

Bo Ge'er also smiled at this moment. He exchanged glances with Liu Ge'er and said with a smile, "It seems that I have to work harder to earn more money. If Third Brother really makes our Xingxing lose money, I can make up for it with Xingxing's share of my own money."

The brothers spoke in a relaxed tone, and their words were as casual as if they were talking about the weather.

Xingxing looked at Bo Ge'er, then at Liu Ge'er, and seeing that neither of them blamed her, she buried her head in the bowl and smiled secretly.

After the three siblings had their meal, no one mentioned the twenty thousand taels of silver again.

Liu Ge'er was naturally sleepy, and was planning to rest after dinner. However, the servant came over and reported with some confusion and panic, saying that there was a young master with red lips and white teeth, accompanied by a team of guards, waiting outside the door.

Young Master?

Xingxing only knew one young master in the state capital.

Could it be Tan Shaomeng?

Bo Ge'er and Liu Ge'er looked at each other and asked the servant to invite the person in.

Soon, the rich young master strode into the courtyard.

It’s really Tan Shaomeng.

There were two guards following him.

The guards all wore swords at their waists.

Xing Xing stood beside Liu Ge'er with some caution, looked at Qin Shaomeng cautiously, and held the sachet that Da Xi Si Po gave her for self-defense.

If it was the usual Qin Shaomeng, Xingxing would naturally not be on guard.

But Tan Shaomeng is not just Tan Shaomeng, he is also Tan Jingqian's younger brother.

"I wonder what brings Young Master Tan to my house?" Brother Bo asked with a smile.

Qin Shaomeng took a deep breath and said, "Second Master Yu, I'm not here to see you. I'm here to see him."

Tan Shaomeng pointed at Liu Ge'er.

Liu Ge'er raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Looking for me? What's the matter? We don't seem to be familiar with each other."

Tan Shaomeng looked straight at Liu Ge'er, his voice a little hoarse: "Yu San! I ask you, was it you who poisoned my eldest brother?!"

Liu Ge'er seemed to have heard something funny and couldn't help laughing.

Bo Ge'er also sneered.

Only Xing Xing, hearing Qin Shaomeng's confusing question, was like an angry little lion. She was about to explode and said angrily: "Why do you ask that? What does your eldest brother's behavior have to do with my third brother? What evidence do you have?!"

Qin Shaomeng was frozen by the anger burning in Xingxing's round eyes, and his angry questioning tone suddenly dissipated a lot.

Qin Shaomeng stuttered and explained: "...My eldest brother is well-known in the state capital for his literary talent, and he is the most likely candidate for the title of Jieyuan this time. My eldest brother said that your third brother might have done this for the title of Jieyuan..."

Both Bo Ge'er and Liu Ge'er were amazed.

How could Tan Jingqian be so shameless?

He was clearly the one who did all these things, but now he wants to splash dirty water on the people he almost harmed?

Xing Xing was so angry that she seemed to be burning with anger. She took a step forward, her eyes full of rage: "Your eldest brother said whatever he said?! I just want to ask you if you have any evidence! Without any evidence, you come to my third brother and act like a wild man?!"

Qin Shaomeng took another step back as if he was scalded. He stuttered even more and didn't even dare to look Xing Xing in the face. "No, no, I, I mean, if it was really your third brother who did it, let him come back to my house and apologize to my eldest brother... If, if my eldest brother can forgive him, wouldn't that also save your third brother from going to jail?"

Xing Xing glanced at the two guards behind Tan Shao Meng and suddenly realized: "Oh, so you brought these guards here to capture my third brother?!"

She took another step forward.

Qin Shaomeng took a step back nervously.

The two guards behind him also retreated with their master.

Xing Xing's black and white eyes were filled with anger: "Let me ask you, where is the evidence?!"
