Chapter 162 I want Xingluo to come back to us and become our sister again
Xie Shian raised his eyebrows, "How dare you call me stupid?"
"I didn't say that, you said it yourself."
"Chen Lezhi, don't think I won't hit you just because you're Ningning's good friend!"
"Hit me, hit me! I've never been afraid of anyone in my life!"
“…”
On a snowy night, there are scattered lights on the long street.
The young man and the young girl fought their way from Jinli to the Zhenbei Palace. When they were discovered by the doorman, they were covered in snow particles, their faces flushed, and they were gasping for breath, as if they had just been pulled out of a snowdrift.
The two of them were extremely jealous. They snorted coldly and were about to go their separate ways when the steward stood on the steps, smiling fakely, "Fourth Young Master, Little Princess, the Crown Prince has ordered that when you two return, you will be punished by copying the family rules in the Repentance Pavilion."
"What?!" Xie Shian howled, "I've already been beaten, why do I have to copy the family rules?!"
The steward said: "This is the order of the prince. If you have any objections, you can go and talk to him."
Xie Shian crossed his arms and muttered, "My mother gave birth to me too late, otherwise the position of the crown prince would be mine. Then I will punish my eldest brother by making him copy the family rules..."
And Song Er and the others.
It would be great if everyone could switch ranks with their elder brothers. Not only would they have endless money to spend, but they would also have the final say in the mansion.
However, he didn't really want the position of crown prince, he just thought it was a nice idea.
Chen Lezhi was unconvinced, "Why should I also copy the house rules of your palace?"
The steward said: "The King of Hanzhong specifically wrote to my prince, asking him to have full authority to discipline the little princess. Therefore, my prince is punishing you on behalf of the King of Hanzhong."
Chen Lezhi was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but blurt out a swear word.
The two of them were unlucky enough to enter the Siguo Pavilion, and on the other side, the Xiejin Courtyard.
Xie Guanlan personally sent Wen Xingluo back.
As they walked through the corridor, the girl wrapped her cloak tightly around her and whispered, "Brother, when will you be back?"
Xie Guanlan walked side by side with her, his hands behind his back. "At the fastest, it will take half a year. At the latest, it will take two years."
Wen Xingluo looked at the shadows of the two people cast in the corridor and fell silent.
Xie Guanlan asked, "What's wrong?"
"Brother, you can't celebrate the New Year in the palace this year." Wen Xingluo's voice was softer than the snow. "I'm a little sad."
When she was in the Wen family, she had to run around every holiday.
She finally had some free time on New Year's Eve, but her father and brother were unwilling to talk to her. They liked to accompany Wen Yueyin to paste peach charms, set off firecrackers, and stay up all night. They laughed and made noises during the New Year's Eve dinner, looking forward to the New Year, while she sat alone in the corner, occasionally seizing the opportunity to smile and say something, but they would ignore her intentionally or unintentionally.
Since she was a child, she has always felt that New Year's Eve is colder than any other time.
It was not until last winter that she spent her first New Year's Eve in the palace.
Her grandmother dotes on her, her father loves her, and her second and fourth brothers are also willing to accompany her to set off firecrackers, eat cakes and fruits with her, chat with her, and gather together to celebrate the New Year in a lively manner.
Even though Xie Guanlan had not accepted her at that time, he did not choose New Year's Eve to show his displeasure to her. Instead, when he gave red envelopes to his second and fourth brothers, he also gave her a share.
She looked up at Xie Guanlan and suddenly extended her little finger. "Although I can't celebrate the New Year with you this year, I want to make a promise with you that we can celebrate the New Year together the year you return triumphantly."
The light of the snow outside the corridor and the light of the lanterns complement each other.
In Xie Guanlan's eyes, none of them could compare to the girl's face, which was as bright and beautiful as a peach blossom, and was even more stunning and dazzling.
He slowly hooked Wen Xingluo's pinky finger, "I have a promise with you."
The night deepens.
Wen Xingluo was about to go to bed when Cuicui came in, holding a hot water bottle. "Miss, the prince has left Brother Yishui behind. Brother Yishui said that he will be responsible for protecting you while the prince is away."
Wen Xingluo took the hot water bottle and glanced out the Li Ke window. Warmth quietly welled up in her heart, as if she had just drunk a cup of hot peach blossom honey.
Just after the girl fell asleep, at Xu Mansion.
The steward led the servants and moved all the luggage of the Wen brothers and sisters to the street.
The four brothers and sisters of the Wen family stood under the eaves, their hands tucked into their sleeves, all silent.
Because of what happened tonight, the two elders of the Xu family disliked them for bringing shame to the Xu family. They also said that after observing for some time, they and the clan unanimously believed that the Wen family had no ability to succeed, so they planned to let Xu Miaomiao and Wen Rufeng divorce and choose another good son-in-law.
But Xu Miaomiao refused to do so and even threatened to commit suicide.
The two elders of the Xu family were extremely disappointed with their daughter and immediately ordered people to drive the Wen brothers and sisters out of the house.
After finally unloading the luggage, the steward said with a forced smile, "The maids, servants, and valuables that Master Wen bought all came from my young lady's dowry. That's why my master has ordered that you can't take them with you. Your own things are all here, and you won't be missing a single thing."
Wen Rufeng stared at the plaque in the Xu Mansion, his eyes brimming with blood. "Does my father-in-law look down on me so much?! As the saying goes, things change over time. Don't bully the poor young! He's bullying me today because I'm down and out, but isn't he afraid that Wen, the top-scoring scholar in the imperial examination, will be promoted to a marquisate or prime minister in the future?"
The manager smiled and said, "No one can predict the future. I only know that one should be down-to-earth. Master Wen, it would be best if you don't make such boasts."
"You don't know whether my eldest brother can be the third place in the imperial examination, but how could I not know it?" Wen Yueyin retorted coldly, "When my eldest brother becomes famous and glorious in the future, your Xu family will no longer be able to cling to him. Don't regret it!"
Wen Ruyun held up his folding fan and sneered, "Businessmen are all snobs. You Xu family are full of money. We can only be clean without you and avoid tarnishing our reputation!"
The manager was too lazy to talk to them and directly ordered the servant to close the door.
The four siblings of the Wen family stared at the Xu Mansion, all four of their faces showing the same resentment.
After a long while, Wen Yueyin scolded him, "In the final analysis, it's still Third Brother who is useless."
"You're useless," Wen Rulei sneered, "you're only useful for your mouth."
"You——" Wen Yueyin's eyes suddenly turned red, "Brother, look at him!"
"That's enough!" Wen Rufeng was extremely annoyed. "It's come to this. Can you guys just calm down? Ever since my parents divorced, things have been going wrong in our family. I think we need to find the reason. Once we're settled down again, we'll call a family meeting and invite Xingluo to sit in!"
Wen Rulei clenched his fists and suddenly turned around and walked towards the dark street.
Wen Rufeng hurriedly shouted, "Third brother, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Xingluo!" Wen Rulei said firmly without even turning his head. "I want her to come back to us and become our sister again! This time, I'll firmly tell her that I'll only let her wash half a basket of clothes, and the remaining half will be washed by Yueyin. She will definitely be very touched!"
