Chapter 17 From now on, I, Wen Rulei, only have one sister
Wen Ruyun suddenly raised his head.
This sentence is undoubtedly blatantly biased towards Wen Xingluo!
But……
How could a girl like Wen Xingluo, who was so stupid, slow, and incompetent, who couldn't even compare to Yue Yin's finger, have the favor of the Zhenbei Palace?!
Don’t these people have eyes?!
Or were they all deceived by Wen Xingluo? !
Wen Xingluo didn't react much.
She knew that Xie Guanlan was a man of fire in public but a knife in private. He always liked to act gentle and humble in front of his elders and outsiders, and he cared a lot about the Zhenbei Palace, so she just listened to what he said. If she took it seriously, she would be really stupid.
She showed a touching expression at the right moment and choked up, "Grandma, brother..."
"Good girl!" The old concubine hugged her tightly, "From now on, you will be my granddaughter!"
After the banquet, the old concubine was going to the garden to watch a play with several other old ladies in the mansion.
She didn't keep Wen Xingluo by her side, but let her go out and play with people of her age.
I don't know who organized this event, saying it was an archery competition, and the prize was a jade pendant.
In order to make Wen Yueyin happy, Wen Rulei excitedly participated in the competition.
Wen Xingluo stood in the crowd and watched.
To her, although Wen Rulei was not a good brother, he was indeed talented in martial arts. Whether it was riding, archery or kung fu, he was one of the best among his peers. He hit the bull's eye as soon as he came on the court, which attracted praise from everyone.
Wen Yueyin's face also showed a sense of pride, which diluted the unhappiness she had just felt at the banquet.
Xie Shian stood beside Wen Xingluo with his arms folded, saying disdainfully, "Nothing more than that."
Wen Xingluo explained, "He's not like Fourth Brother, who learned horseback riding, archery, and martial arts from famous teachers in the palace. He's learned so much on his own, which is already quite good."
It was because Wen Rulei had a talent for martial arts that she persuaded him to join the army in his previous life so that he could seriously learn riding and archery skills.
Later, Wen Rulei made great contributions in the army. After returning to the capital with his father, he took part in the military examination and won the first prize. He was chosen by the emperor as the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard and had a bright future.
But it was not until the end that Wen Xingluo realized that he had hated her all his life.
He hated her for instigating his father to send him to the military camp, and hated her for causing him so much hardship...
In this life, Wen Xingluo decided to respect the fate of others.
"You call this pretty good?" Xie Shian raised an eyebrow in disdain. "Even before I hired a master, I was already better than him! Not to mention my eldest brother. At his age, he could single-handedly wipe out a whole group of bandits! Just wait!"
He didn't allow Wen Xingluo to think that Wen Rulei was more powerful than him.
He strode forward with his long legs and arrogantly took the bow and arrow: "Wen Rulei, let me meet you!"
He picked up the bow and arrows skillfully, but he put three feather arrows on at once.
As he released the bowstring, three feathered arrows whizzed through the air and headed straight for the bull's eye!
All three hits!
There was overwhelming cheering all around.
Xie Shian raised his chin proudly towards Wen Xingluo, as if asking her how she was.
Wen Xingluo looked at the young man's rebellious attitude.
If he hadn't lost his legs in his previous life, he would probably be even more talented than Wen Rulei, right?
She smiled gently: "Fourth brother is so awesome!"
Xie Shian defeated Wen Rulei and won the jade pendant.
He played with it for a moment, then sneered, "It's of such quality that it's not even worthy of appearing before my sister. Here, Cuicui, I'll give it to you!"
Wen Yueyin watched helplessly as her favorite jade pendant was given to the maid by Xie Shi'an. Feeling humiliated, she immediately held her chest and her eyes turned red with sadness.
She clutched the corner of Wen Rulei's sleeve and said sadly, "Third brother, if this Fourth Young Master Xie doesn't like this jade pendant, why did he take it away? He even gave it to a maid in front of me... Is he deliberately humiliating me?"
Wen Rulei felt both distressed and angry when he saw her looking sad and about to cry.
He rushed directly to Wen Xingluo and shouted, "Did you do this on purpose?! You deliberately instigated Xie Shian to snatch the jade pendant to embarrass your sister! Wen Xingluo, when did you become so cruel and vicious?!"
He wanted to grab Wen Xingluo's clothes, but was kicked to the ground by Xie Shian.
Xie Shian looked down on him, "You don't have the ability to win the championship, but you lose your temper at a little girl. Wen Rulei, you are quite 'manly'!"
Wen Rulei got up in a panic, not daring to lose his temper with Xie Shian. He just glared at Wen Xingluo fiercely: "This is the second time you've allowed Xie Shian to bully me!"
Wen Xingluo looked at him calmly.
Xie Shian just wanted to protect her.
Is this also called bullying?
So what do you call everything Wen Rulei did to her in the past?
Wen Rulei saw that she didn't say anything and thought she was scared.
He coldly said, "Wen Xingluo, remember this: from now on, I, Wen Rulei, only have Yue Yin as my sister! As for you, I don't even know who you are! Don't call me Third Brother anymore!"
He knew very well that Wen Xingluo cared very much about them, his brothers.
She was even willing to sacrifice her life for them.
If she wanted to use Xie Shian to attract their attention and make them jealous, then he would use practical actions to tell her that she had miscalculated!
If she did this, it would only push him further away and make him hate her even more!
He angrily pulled Wen Yueyin up and said, "Yueyin, let's go home!"
Wen Yueyin broke free from his hand: "Third brother, I want to say a few words to Xingluo."
Wen Rulei nodded: "Then I'll wait for you at the gate of the palace."
Wen Yueyin was quite familiar with the Zhenbei Palace, and soon led Wen Xingluo to a remote mountain retreat.
The mountain residence is built on the hillside of the back garden. It is elegant and quiet, and the furnishings inside are simple and solemn.
Wen Yueyin asked, "I've asked around, and some time ago, my sister saved many people in Jinweizhai, including Xie Shian. I want to ask you, how did you know that Jinweizhai would collapse on that day?"
Wen Xingluo looked at her.
He knew that she was testing him to see if he had also been reborn.
Wen Xingluo didn't want to expose himself too early, so he said softly, "It was just a coincidence. I passed by Jinweizhai the other day and heard that Fourth Brother was having a drink there, so I went in to look for him. I wanted to see what the best restaurant in Rongcheng looked like."
Wen Yueyin raised an eyebrow.
Wen Xingluo didn't have much knowledge, and she knew that.
Because every time they went out to eat, they would not take her with them.
Wen Xingluo continued, "When I went upstairs, I noticed the beams were a little crooked, so I casually asked the shopkeeper when the last time they were repaired was. He said it was three years ago. Fourth Brother was furious, saying that the restaurant was dishonest and ordered them to repair it immediately. Unexpectedly, the restaurant collapsed right after we cleared the area."
She was sure that Wen Yueyin was not as perceptive as Xie Guanlan.
Sure enough, Wen Yueyin only thought about it for a moment and then believed her words.
Wen Xingluo suppressed the corner of her lips and changed the subject, "By the way, before I entered the palace, my sister said that my father and brother would definitely be very successful. Do you know anything?"
Wen Yueyin was afraid that Wen Xingluo would go home and snatch the opportunity from her after knowing the truth, so she quickly laughed it off and left the mountain retreat soon.
Wen Xingluo was about to leave, but the pearl on her ear rolled under the table.
She crawled under the table and had just picked up the pearl when she heard footsteps.
She lay on the ground and looked, and a pair of black boots embroidered with gold cloud patterns came into view.
It’s Xie Guanlan.
