Chapter 464 Is this your care?

Yu Yongbai said with a sigh, "Victory and defeat are common in the military. It doesn't mean that the top scholar can do anything. You don't even understand such a simple truth, haha."

Yu Chongen was so angry that his face turned red: "You!"

Yu Mingzhu's face was also very ugly, but she did not forget to pull Yu Chongen's sleeve: "Second brother, is there any misunderstanding here?"

Yu Chongen's face was gloomy: "I'll go ask!"

After saying this, he strode into the banquet hall.

The phoenix-beaded lantern was hung on the roof. Yu Yongliu climbed to the roof. The night wind made his sleeves rustle, and his hairband also fluttered in the cool breeze, as if it was about to flap its wings and fly away.

Xingxing was extremely nervous. She looked at Yu Yongliu closely and was worried about her third brother.

Fortunately, Yu Yongliu was not a weak scholar who was powerless. He had lived in the countryside since he was a child, and practiced the health-preserving boxing taught by Yu Yonghuai every day, so his body was much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Yu Yongliu safely retrieved the Phoenix Pearl Lamp hanging on the ceiling.

The people waiting downstairs in the reception hall burst into enthusiastic applause.

Xingxing also cheered.

Yu Mingzhu's face was a little tense.

When Yu Yongliu came downstairs carrying the Phoenix-shaped lantern, Xingxing happily went to greet him, her eyes full of stars: "Third brother is so awesome!"

Yu Yongliu smiled faintly: "Not bad."

Yu Chongen looked at him in disbelief and asked Yu Chongjie who followed Yu Yongliu out: "Brother, what's going on?"

Yu Chongjie had a complicated expression.

Yu Mingzhu also followed and called out "Big Brother".

She looked very understanding and said, "Brother, I believe in your talent. This is nothing."

Yu Chongjie showed a somewhat comforted look, exhaled his anger, and said with a wry smile: "This time the light is an arithmetic problem."

He unfolded the mysterious note he had been holding in his palm.

Yu Chongen leaned over to look at it, and read aloud as he read:

"Now there are five families sharing a well. A's two ropes are insufficient, so he uses B's one rope; B's three ropes are insufficient, so he uses C's one rope; C's four ropes are insufficient, so he uses D's one rope; D's five ropes are insufficient, so he uses E's one rope; E's six ropes are insufficient, so they use A's one rope. If each family can get the missing rope, they will all be fine. What is the depth of the well and the length of the ropes?" (Note 1)

After reading it, not only Yu Chongen, but also the people nearby who heard the mystery, all had the same expression.

Still with his head full of fog and his eyes full of clear stupidity.

What is this?

I can understand the words, but when they are put together I have trouble understanding them, let alone solving the questions.

Xing Xing also looked at Yu Yongliu with a confused look on her face: "Third brother, did you win this lantern because you solved this problem?"

Xingxing's silly look was so adorable that Yu Yongliu couldn't help but smiled and pinched her cheek again: "Yes."

Xing Xing clasped her hands in front of her chest, and the stars in her eyes were about to burst out.

In the silence that was stunned by the mystery of the lamp, Xing Xing's voice full of admiration blew into everyone's ears with the night wind:

"Third brother, you are so amazing! You actually solved such a difficult problem!"

Everyone came to their senses with different expressions.

But there is one thing we all agree on - you solved such a difficult problem in such a short time, are you really a human being?

Even Yu Mingzhu bit her lower lip and was unable to speak.

Yu Yongliu smiled happily.

Yu Chongen, who was standing by, suddenly spoke to Yu Yongliu in anger: "Name your price. I'll buy this lantern."

Yu Yongliu was still holding the Phoenix Pearl in his hand. Hearing this, he only glanced at Yu Chongen and politely refused directly: "Sorry, this flower lantern is for my children at home, so I won't sell it."

As he spoke, Yu Yongliu handed the Fengzhu Flower Lantern directly to Xingxing. Without even glancing at Yu Chongen, whose face turned black, he smiled and touched Xingxing's little head: "Take it and play with it."

Xing Xing happily responded: "Yeah!"

The cute little girl, with her delicate and pretty face half hidden in the plush canopy, holds the glowing Lantern King Phoenix Pearl in her hand. When she smiles, she looks like a fairy in heaven.

Yu Mingzhu still had a big smile on her face, as if she didn't care much, but in fact her palms were almost bleeding from her fingernails.

Seeing his considerate sister, Yu Chongjie felt even more guilty: "...Zhuzhu, can I win another lantern for you?"

Yu Mingzhu forced a smile but still refused.

Yu Chongjie and Yu Chongen were both a little anxious, and were thinking about how to make Yu Mingzhu happy.

Xingxing didn't want to care about them. After getting the lantern and preparing to leave, Xingxing glanced casually and suddenly found that the eldest lady, who always had a very low presence, had an ugly look on her face.

Under the illumination of the bright lights on the streets, the night is as bright as day.

The eldest lady's face was extremely pale, with beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down her head. She looked very strange.

Out of her doctor's instinct, Xing Xing paused and asked, "Madam, are you okay?"

Yu Mingzhu's face darkened slightly, and she walked over here, deliberately holding the eldest young lady's arm as if to show it to Xingxing, and leaning her head slightly on the eldest young lady's shoulder, looking very intimate: "Thank you Miss Yu for your concern, this is my eldest sister-in-law, we will take care of her, so don't bother with it."

Xing Xing looked at the pale face of the eldest young lady, frowned slightly, and asked Yu Mingzhu seriously: "You will take care of her? Are you serious? ... This lady has been left without anyone to protect her from the beginning. She squeezed in alone with her maid. If you hadn't introduced her as your eldest sister-in-law before, I would have thought she was someone unrelated. When you were chatting and laughing while admiring the lanterns, this lady was always behind you, all alone. Is this what you take care of?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eldest young lady's already pale face became even more gloomy. She closed her eyes and tears flowed down her cheeks.

Yu Mingzhu was so embarrassed by Xingxing's question that she was speechless.

She looked towards Yu Chongjie and Yu Chongen, her eyes twinkling with a hint of embarrassment, as if she was feeling extremely aggrieved.

Before Yu Mingzhu could say anything, Yu Chongen immediately said angrily: "You little girl, this is our sister-in-law, what does it have to do with you! What right do you have to say such things! It's simply meddling in other people's business--"

Yu Yongbai couldn't stand Xingxing being ridiculed like this, so he sneered, "Yes, you know this is your sister-in-law, not ours. My sister is kindhearted and only reminded you a few things, look how anxious you are! If you had half the energy to cause trouble to my sister now, you would have discovered how bad your sister-in-law's condition is!"

"You——" Yu Chongen was so angry that he wanted to hit him with his fist.

Xing Xing suddenly took a breath and said "Oh no!", pointing at the ground under the feet of the eldest young lady: "This lady is bleeding!"

As the husband, Yu Chongjie hurried over and supported the eldest young lady: "Fuqiu?! What's wrong with you?!"

The eldest young lady's face was pale and her voice was trembling: "Husband, I, my stomach hurts so much..."
