Chapter 80: Killed by Xu Wan
Just like stepping on the fuse, the barrel that was already on the verge of fire exploded completely.
The little devil howled, "I guessed wrong again! I won't guess!!!"
My younger brother has a bad temper and fragile self-esteem. He always gets angry when something hurts him.
Zong Wenxiu was not used to it at first, thinking that his brother was difficult to please and had a strange temper, but after getting to know him better, he realized that his brother was just hard on the outside but soft on the inside. He was the best brother in the world, the kind that was easy to coax.
Zong Wenxiu patiently sat over and said softly, "I told my wife that you just haven't been exposed to the lives of ordinary people, so you can't guess. But you are very smart, much smarter than me. When you figure out all these things, you will definitely be much more powerful than me."
The little devil's body did not move when it was turned over, but his ears were already standing up.
Zong Wenxiu continued, "Madam also said that you are a good candidate for an official post. If you hold great power in the future, you can save millions of people, which is much more powerful than helping Lin Yu."
The little devil immediately turned around and asked in surprise: "Did she really say that?"
Zong Wenxiu nodded: "I did." Although the latter sentence was complaining about his brother's knowledge of current affairs.
The little devil snorted and said proudly, "This bad woman, she praised me and even praised me behind my back, and she wanted to hide it from me. Now I know it!"
"Hmm..." Zong Wenxiu wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling like he couldn't get over it.
The little devil was coaxed so quickly.
When Xu Wan got in the car, the two of them began to discuss today's exam questions enthusiastically.
However, there is one thing that is different.
As soon as Xu Wan got in the car, she felt the little devil looking at her with an arrogant and complacent look, as if she had secretly given him a few hundred taels of silver.
"Why do you look like that?" she asked defensively.
The little devil became even more proud and said to her, "I won't tell you!"
Xu Wan: “…” You’re poisonous.
Zong Wenxiu, who was standing next to him, felt more and more guilty and tried hard to reduce his presence.
There were only two colleges participating in this joint entrance examination, and the results would be out in three days. The little devil felt that he had done very well as usual, and was smugly beginning to want to take a rest; while Zong Wenxiu felt that he still had some areas that he had not mastered well, so he continued to study late into the night and sought extra lessons from a private tutor.
As for Xu Wan, she had to attend a wedding banquet that she couldn't postpone.
Her half-sister Xu Lian'er, the eldest son of the Duke of Jin, Chen Yunyu, the Minister of Justice, and the Duke of Jin joined forces. This was a highly anticipated wedding, with many people attending. It was said that even the eighteenth princess was going to go.
As the eldest sister, she couldn't refuse. Jincheng and Wenxiu could choose not to go, but when the little devil heard that it was her eldest sister, he threw down his pen and rushed over immediately.
"How can such a lively wedding banquet be without me?"
Xu Wan knew without even thinking that the boy was holding it in. She rolled her eyes at him and turned to ask Wenxiu if he was going. Zong Wenxiu just said that he had to continue his cram school and would not go.
In the end, the mother and son sat in the carriage, disliking each other, and exchanged fierce glances for eight hundred rounds.
Xu Wan reminded her, "You have offended the wife of the Duke of Jin. Today's wedding banquet is a big deal. If you make trouble at this time and anger the Duke of Jin's mansion, I'm afraid even the old marquis won't be able to protect you."
The little devil shook the jade pendant in his hand and said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. I have the support of the prince. Who dares to touch me?"
Xu Wan: “!”
She knew that this jade pendant was a disaster. This little bastard was really taking advantage of her.
The little devil smiled wickedly, leaned over and asked, "What's wrong? Are you scared? If you beg for mercy now and yell a hundred times: I'm sorry, Zong Jincheng, I was wrong, I will consider letting you go and not causing trouble at the wedding banquet. Otherwise, if something really happens, you, as the stepmother, will bear more responsibility than a child like me, hehehe."
Hey you idiot!
Xu Wan clenched her fists and threatened with a smile: "Do you believe that if you dare to say a single word, I will ask Cui Liu to stuff your mouth shut?"
"Cui Liu?" The little devil's face changed drastically.
Xu Wan snorted and said, "I have already asked Cui Liu and Buyan to switch places today. If you want to cause trouble, Cui Liu will not be polite."
Little Devil: “!”
Big mistake!!!
He was counterattacked before he even got to the destination. This time he lost the fight faster than ever before!
The little devil was as tactful as ever. He quickly said, "Stop the car. I want to go home and memorize my lessons!"
Since there's no place to cause trouble there, it's useless to go there, so it's better to stop the loss in time!
"It's late." Now it was Xu Wan's turn to relax. "We are almost at the Duke of Jin's Mansion. If you want to go back, run back by yourself. The carriage should stay here and wait for me."
The little devil got angry and broke down again, shouting, "Can't you just buy another carriage?"
Xu Wan said calmly, "No, I just like to be frugal and manage the household."
“……”He hates it!
The Duke of Jin's Mansion is already very grand, and today, because it is the wedding of their eldest son, the scene is decorated with great vigour and is even more lively than usual.
The butler at the door took the gift list they brought and asked someone to take them in. Before they even entered the door, they heard a young girl's voice coming from behind them: "Sister Xu."
Xu Wan turned around and unexpectedly it was the eighteenth princess, Zhaorong.
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess." A group of people bowed.
"No need to be polite, please get up quickly," Zhao Rong waved her hands casually, ran towards Xu Wan happily, and directly knocked the little devil aside.
Little Devil: “???”
Is she polite or not?
Can't he see it when he's so big? !
Zhao Rong obviously didn't see it. She took Xu Wan's hand and shouted, "Sister Xu, I knew you would come today. I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."
Xu Wan also smiled and said, "I heard that the princess would come, so I came here early. I didn't expect to meet her at the door."
Zhaorong took her arm and walked inside, saying as they walked, "There are so many people today. Mammy said that if I had come late, more people would have come to greet me and talk to me, which would have been too noisy. You are the best. I like talking to you. And... Hey, your unpleasant stepson is here too?"
The little devil's fist suddenly hardened.
Who is the unpleasant stepson?
The tone of voice of this Eighteenth Princess is so annoying. He is obviously the legitimate grandson who was born and raised in the Marquis's Mansion, but she makes it seem like he is an outsider who entered the mansion a few months ago.
Is there any justice in the world!!!
Xu Wan tried to smooth things over by saying, "A lot of Jin Cheng's friends came today, and he hasn't seen them for a long time, so it's a good opportunity to catch up."
Zhao Rong said, "Oh, well, it's just that he's not here, I still have a lot of things to say to you."
Little Devil: “…”
He decided.
The Eighteenth Princess successfully entered the top three in his revenge book.
