Chapter 91 Jin Cheng kills Liu

The Minister was meeting the new son-in-law of the Duke of Jin in the house, and the two were chatting happily. When Liu saw Xu Wan coming, she was polite on the surface and came out to meet Zong Jincheng.

Compared with Xu Wan, this person is the most worthy of her coming to pick him up in person in the entire Yuanyang Marquis Mansion.

But it was obvious that the angry little devil didn't like dogs, and the word "grandmother" hit him directly on the muzzle.

Zong Jincheng ignored her with a sullen look on his face.

Liu guessed that he had quarreled with Xu Wan again, and immediately chased after him and said, "My daughter has a bad temper. Jincheng, you must be more tolerant and don't argue with your mother. If you really don't like her, ask your grandmother to give your father a few more concubines. She will have less energy to bully you."

Taking a concubine for the missing elder brother?

Zong Wenxiu, who was being ignored behind, suddenly raised his head and quickly looked at his brother, fearing that he had been deceived by Liu.

The lady was very kind to his brother, and also to him and his mother. He could not bear to see others making things so difficult for her.

"Ah?" Zong Jincheng blinked and stopped.

What is this old woman talking about? His father is not at home, why does he need to take a concubine?

Moreover, even if he took a concubine, what was the point? Even though Aunt Hong was not a concubine of the first wife, she could be conquered by Xu Wan. If the first wife also had a concubine, wouldn't Xu Wan be even more assisted by God? Wouldn't a group of women team up to plot against him?

Zong Jincheng's mind worked quickly and he immediately figured out what was going on.

This old woman really has bad intentions. First she married Xu Wan into his family, and now she wants to send a concubine into his family. She is full of bad intentions.

However, the little devil stared at Liu's face and found that she smiled kindly and looked very sincere, which was completely opposite to what he had learned from observing people's words and expressions.

What's going on...Did he see it wrong?

Zong Jincheng looked at his brother in confusion. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zong Wenxiu shaking his head at him. He didn't know whether he was asking him not to ask or not to agree.

Liu was still telling him, "If your grandmother can't find a candidate, you can ask the wife of Minister Zhao to help look for one. She has some good concubines who are very popular with children."

The little devil thought to himself: Children like to play with other children, who likes to play with some beautiful women.

Seeing that he hadn't said anything and the anger on his face wasn't as strong as before he entered the room, Liu thought he had heard her, so she smiled even brighter and said, "I'll go to the Marquis' Mansion to visit the old lady some other day and have a good talk with her."

The little devil smiled and said, "Don't you know that Xu Wan has already taken her to another manor?"

"Wan'er did it?" Liu was stunned. Didn't the rumor among people say that the old lady asked to go to another villa on her own initiative?

Oh my God, is this the reason?

Is Xu Wan so capable now?

Zong Jincheng also imitated her sincerity and described, "Yes, otherwise how could she take over the power of our mansion so smoothly? It's all because my grandmother couldn't defeat her. Hey, are those concubines you mentioned okay? Don't send them to our mansion and then Xu Wan will turn around and send them to the Duke of Jin's mansion. It's a waste of time."

Liu: “…” Suddenly felt panicky.

If Xu Wan's method is really so clever and silent, then sending a concubine to the Marquis's Mansion is indeed not a wise choice.

And since this kid dared to say so, it must be that Xu Wan had demonstrated similar methods in front of him, so he made this guess. Otherwise, whose eight-year-old child could think of such a roundhouse move that hit her sore spot?

Liu smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "Let's talk about it later. After all, your grandmother hasn't returned home yet. Come in, I'll have someone bring you some cakes first, and I'll call you to eat after your mother and the others finish talking."

"Okay." The little devil responded, and didn't bother with her, nor did he get angry. Instead, he rolled his eyes and thought.

Zong Wenxiu was stunned when he heard this. He was originally worried that his brother would be deceived by Liu, but now it seems that Liu was fooled by his brother?

Suddenly I didn't feel so sad anymore. The reason why he could be coaxed by his younger brother was because he was too smart, not because he was stupid. He was not even as old as Liu, so it was normal that he couldn't see it...

After Liu sent the two of them to eat cakes, she turned around and looked sullen.

Zong Jincheng didn't see her change of expression, and was still immersed in his own confusion. He looked around and saw that there was no one around and asked, "Brother, why do I see that she is different from the others? She doesn't look like a bad person."

Zong Wenxiu sighed and said, "Some people are just smiling tigers. They smile kindly on the surface, but they actually do bad things. Reading someone's expression is not just about looking at their face. You should not look at what she said, but what she is going to do. Just like you, you always say some vengeful and cruel words, but you have never done anything bad."

"Li... lychee doesn't count?" The little devil felt guilty about the compliment.

"..." Zong Wenxiu was silent for a while and then said, "I said after that."

"Oh oh oh." The little devil immediately became serious and said solemnly, "Yes, although Xu Wan, Qin Ye, the Eighteenth Princess, Zhai Yao, Luo Jingfeng, Qin Shi, Liu, Xu Lian'er, Butler Liu... are all in my grudge book, but I did not actually retaliate against them. This shows that I am now a very kind person and good at repaying evil with kindness!"

Zong Wenxiu: “…” That’s true, but when it comes from his brother’s mouth, it feels like something is not right.

And...what is the book of grudges?

And with so many names, how many people have you secretly remembered as grudges against?

"Why is Butler Liu still here?" Zong Wenxiu finally reacted. He didn't even know his brother had a grudge against Butler Liu.

The little devil clenched his fists and said with a look of anger, "He was the one who ransacked my house. He took away all the valuables in my house, including my pillows, shoes and clothes! Don't you think he was too much? He was simply taking advantage of the situation!"

Zong Wenxiu raised his forehead, as if he had remembered this incident.

But it’s been so long since his brother’s house was ransacked, how could he still remember it?

Oh yeah, he has a photographic memory... help.

Zong Wenxiu covered his heart and said weakly, "It's good that you know it. In addition to observing people's expressions, we also need to observe their behavior. But I found that although you don't understand these rules for the time being, your body will react for you."

"Ah? What kind of physical reaction?" The little devil shook his head.

Zong Wenxiu said, "Just now, Liu had bad intentions and was obviously trying to harm Madam. I was so anxious. But luckily you reacted quickly and told her to send the concubine to the Duke of Jin's mansion. Her expression changed instantly. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have thought of this good idea."

Zong Wenxiu added: "Madam is right. You are suitable to be an official. You are too talented."

The little devil is a man who deserves praise.

Especially after his brother finished praising Xu Wan, he also mentioned that she was praising him, and he immediately became so proud that his tail started to rise again.

Zong Jincheng quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Brother, you are not angry with me anymore, right?"
