The fourth brother, Jing Shengshi, walked over, glanced at his third and fifth brothers, and after understanding their expressions, he said cautiously, "Let's go to my room and talk."
Jing Qiaoqiao lay in the arms of her third nephew, her eyes scanning his face.
[I don't know what to talk about, it's so mysterious.]
Jing Shengtian saw that his aunt was also puzzled, so he stopped being shy.
"Fourth Brother, I heard from Sister Zhu'er that you didn't invite Sister Qingran to the palace today?"
"Zhu'er gave me a bottle of potion." The fourth brother, Jing Shengshi, looked at his third brother with a serious look in his eyes. "Before I give it to the second prince, I ask him to agree to three conditions."
The fifth brother, Jing Shenghua, was incredulous: "Fourth brother, are you threatening the prince?"
"I'm negotiating. Anyway... if he doesn't agree, he'd be a blind man!" Jing Shengshi put his finger on his chin. "But my aunt has just been granted the title of princess. The Second Prince shouldn't dare to go back on his word."
The third brother Jing Shengtian was puzzled: "What three requests did you make?"
"Apologize to Sister Zhu'er, draw a clear line with Yang Sheng of the Earl's Mansion, and don't cause trouble for our General's Mansion!" Jing Shengshi said it in one breath.
[My fourth nephew, this request is so reasonable. It's so simple, only a fool would regret it.]
Even if the Second Prince had that idea, he wouldn't be able to argue, and Concubine Yue wouldn't help. Oh, and he only has one mother.
[Also, the poison powder belonged to the Second Prince, and the antidote was given by the Fourth Nephew. Without the Fourth Nephew, he would have been blind.]
As for cutting ties with the Earl's Mansion, there's no need to worry. The Second Prince doesn't even have the backing to seize the crown prince position, so why would he care about Yang Sheng's mess?
Jing Shengtian and Jing Shenghua, the fools who thought the Second Prince would regret it: "..."
They smiled awkwardly, looked at Jing Shengshi, and said only two insignificant words.
"Good."
Their aunt told them not to worry, so why should they worry about it?
"Oh, by the way, did big brother come back and take sister Zhu'er away just now?"
"Or is it because of the poisoning incident?"
"Yes, I heard that Big Brother seemed to want Sister Zhu'er to go over and reconcile with Chu Fu!"
The fifth brother, Jing Shenghua, angrily slammed the table and said, "Tell me, if it wasn't Chu Fu who poisoned and murdered Sister Zhu'er, who else could it be?"
[What a bunch of idiots! My niece rarely leaves the house and has no enemies. Who else could have poisoned her, besides herself?]
The three brothers opened their lips and remained silent for a long time.
[However, Chu Fu was a spy close to my nephew. He deserved it for being a bad guy.]
But Chu Fu is a shrewd and cunning person. If his nephew brings his niece to dinner, he will definitely try to trick her.
[I just don't know what my nephew is up to. Is he venting his anger on behalf of Zhu'er, or is he protecting Chu Fu?]
【I really want to go and see the excitement. 】
The third brother Jing Shengtian looked at the fourth and fifth brothers hesitantly.
Then he raised his eyebrows, "How about... let's go take a look?"
"That's exactly what I meant!"
Jing Shengshi hesitated: "But, Lao Wu, do you know where my eldest brother took my sister Zhu'er?"
"Hmm, it seems to be in... Baiweizhai!"
"Baiweizhai?" Old Fourth Jing Shengshi said, "That place is a teahouse, next to my book club."
The third brother, Jing Shengtian, hugged Jing Qiaoqiao and said quickly, "Okay, fourth brother, you lead the way!"
"Um."
The three of them, along with Jing Qiaoqiao, had just walked to the front yard when they were stopped by Jing Runian and Xi Yanlan.
"Where are you taking Qiaoqiao?"
Being caught on the spot by their parents, the three of them were all very nervous.
"You run outside all day long. What if your aunt falls or gets hurt?"
As soon as Jing Runian scolded him.
Xi Yanlan's expression turned cold. "That's right, Third Brother, Fifth Brother, haven't you learned your lesson from Fourth Brother?"
[Ever since these two became close, the husband and wife follow each other's lead, neither willing to sing separately.]
What's wrong with leaving the house? When the child grows up, you have to let go. What's the point of being tied to a belt for the rest of your life?
As the saying goes, when you are at home, disaster may come from the sky. If bad people want to harm you, they will see whether you are at home or not.
[Woo woo, don't delay me, baby. I'm going out to watch the fun. If you're any later, I won't be able to see it.]
Jing Runian and Xi Yanlan, who had been taught a lesson, felt like eggplants hit by frost.
"Just take good care of your aunt. Dad won't take care of anything else!" Jing Runian flicked his sleeves and turned back to his room.
Only Xi Yanlan stood still, trying to find a way to change Qiaoqiao's impression of her.
There is no process.
The kind that changes face in a second.
"Okay, go quickly and come back soon."
"Mom...you let us go out?"
It was rare for them to see their mother being so easygoing.
"That's right. Hasn't Mother always been very gentle to you?" Xi Yanlan glanced proudly at the three people leaning on her side. "Alright, why don't you go!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The three of them looked at their mother who had changed so much, picked up their little aunt, and left quickly.
As soon as the person left, Xi Yanlan walked up the stairs proudly.
Jing Runian scolded, "Madam, your acting skills are becoming more and more mature. Now in Qiaoqiao's heart, you are the gentle and kind sister-in-law, and I am that... big pig's hoof."
"Shh." Xi Yanlan raised her hand to cover Jing Runian's lips. "This is what Qiaoqiao said. If you make it a habit, won't others know it?"
"Madam, you're absolutely right." Jing Runian couldn't help but turn around. "Are you saying that only my husband and I can hear what Qiaoqiao is thinking?"
"Why should we care about others? Besides, if everyone can hear it, and we work together, I believe we can change the tragic end of our general's mansion."
