Chapter 131: Something is wrong and I get suspicious
The little baby looked confused and gave Xiao Youduo a sweet smile without admitting or denying it.
Weird, Xiao Youduo knew very well that he was not someone who was easy to get close to. He had only met Xuan Bao before, and was just a little more familiar than a stranger. But just sitting next to her, he could feel himself gradually relaxing.
Come down.
Xuan Bao seemed to be swinging his short legs leisurely, but in fact he was secretly observing Xiao Youduo.
It's strange, cousin Youduo has no friendship with me. After all, he is the second wife and I have some quarrel with him. I felt very close to him before, but now that I have been in close contact, this feeling is especially strong.
"Look at the moon, listen to the wind, and look at the flowers. Is cousin Youduo feeling better?"
"Well, it's indeed much better."
"Today is not the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. There is no Mu Mu in the academy." Xuan Bao looked up at the half moon in the sky.
Xiao Youduo chuckled and said, "You are so attentive. Yes, it's not Mu Mu, but I just asked for leave to go back home."
"Why did you take a special leave to come back?" Xuan Bao looked at Xiao Youduo curiously, "I heard that you are a diligent student."
"Yes, I originally wanted to come back and have a good chat with my parents, but there is no need to talk anymore."
A light flashed in Xuan Bao's eyes: "Cousin Youduo, do you think the second uncle and the second aunt are right?"
Xiao Youduo did not dare to look at Xuan Bao. He was silent for a moment and then said leisurely: "There are no bad parents in the world."
"I don't agree with this." Xuan Bao's childish voice was extremely serious, "My old Taoist master taught me that right is right and wrong is wrong."
"Your master is right, but what can I do?" Xiao Youduo looked frustrated, and his voice was tired.
Perhaps it was because the darkness of the night made people unprepared, or perhaps because the person next to them was a little baby and made them relax their vigilance, Xiao Youduo, who had always kept everything in his heart, suddenly felt the urge to tell.
Starting with the trivial matters surrounding the second wife, Xiao Youduo didn't care about his parents' favoritism. He couldn't stand his parents' unlimited pampering of Xiao Youfeng. He understood that treating a child with a child is like killing a child, but Xiao Liao and Fang Rongru didn't.
As their younger brother Xiao Youfeng grew older, the troubles he caused became more and more biased. Xiao Liao and Fang Rongru wanted to clean up his mess and forced Xiao Youduo to defend him.
"It's not that I'm defending this brother, it's really that he went too far." Xiao Youduo sighed after saying this.
"You specifically asked for leave to return home because you wanted to persuade your second uncle and your aunt to improve your relationship with your eldest son, right?"
Xuan Bao asked politely, but Xiao Youduo understood immediately when he heard it: "Uncle and aunt have been good enough to us over the years. They should not be greedy, let alone do those things."
"You should have tried to persuade me in the past, but they didn't listen, so this time you probably won't be able to change anything." Xuan Bao analyzed calmly.
Xiao Youduo opened his eyes wide: "Xuanbao, you are really not like a little baby. I can't hide anything from you."
Xuan Bao held his cheeks with both hands and looked at the flowers and plants in front of him and said with a smile: "I am just a little baby. I am a little baby who can distinguish right from wrong."
"My cousin is so many years older than you. He is really not as understanding as you!"
Xiao Youduo's enthusiasm was waning, and he had no passion at all for someone at this prime age. Xuan Bao couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
The little baby thought for a while and asked: "Cousin Youduo, does he remember what happened when he was a child? Is it about my age or even earlier?"
"What happened when I was a child? I don't remember. Why do you ask this?"
"I just want to ask you about the relationship between your parents and my parents' brothers and sisters-in-law in your memory? Let's see if my parents did anything to offend my second uncle and second aunt. Why are they doing this now?
Act like this?"
"Well, you want to know what happened back then, but it's a pity that I don't know." Xiao Youduo raised his hand and stroked Xuan Bao's little head naturally.
The moment the big hand touched the little head, there was an obvious pause, and then he gently stroked it as if nothing had happened. Xuan Bao didn't feel any resistance at all. The little baby couldn't help but move closer to Xiao Youduo, causing him to chuckle.
"Why don't you know?"
"Because I hit my head when I was seven years old, and I recovered from it for a long time. Although my body is fine, I have forgotten everything that happened before I was seven years old."
"That means cousin Youduo has no memory of his childhood." Xuan Bao muttered. She always felt a little strange in her heart but she couldn't say anything.
Xiao Youduo touched Xuan Bao's little head, and when he took his hand back, he pinched her cheek, then took his hand back and smiled.
"If you forget it, forget it. There is nothing special to remember in those young days."
"Cousin Youduo, second uncle, and second aunt are not good to you, right?"
Without thinking, he wanted to deny it, but when he saw Xuan Bao's clear eyes, Xiao Youduo turned away and did not answer.
"I'm sorry, don't be angry. Everyone in the house said this, and I shouldn't follow others' opinions."
"No need to apologize, you are right, and the people in the government are also right." Xiao Youduo had a hurt look on his face, "I don't lack food, I don't lack clothing, they even sent me to the best academy to study, although there are conditions.
We need to take Youfeng with us."
Xiao Youduo seemed to be lost in memories: "On the surface, they can be regarded as dedicated parents, but my mother and I do not have the intimacy between mother and child. My father is very strict in discipline. It stands to reason that he has very high expectations for me. But when I am academically
He seemed unhappy when his master praised him for his achievements."
At this point, Xiao Youduo was also confused: "Everyone in the family said that my parents treated me poorly, while outsiders said that they were strict for my own good."
"This way of getting along is very unusual." Xuan Bao suddenly interrupted.
"Yes, that's the feeling. It seems wrong, but I can't tell what is wrong." The words hidden in his heart were poured out, and a relaxed look appeared on Xiao Youduo's face.
Xuan Bao was thoughtful after hearing this. The little doll should have been smiling, so Xiao Youduo couldn't help but sigh and pull her out of her thoughts.
"Don't worry about me. The second wife is about to leave the Haohou Mansion, and I will naturally leave with him. In a few months, the imperial examination will be held. I have already secretly signed up to participate. If I can pass high school..."
"You will definitely go to high school." Xuan Bao took over.
"I will try my best to fight for it." Xiao Youduo's eyes flashed with hope, "When I become an official in high school, my status in the hearts of my parents will be different, and my words will naturally have weight."
Bystanders know clearly, but the authorities are obsessed. Xuan Bao doesn't think that cousin Youduo can change Xiao Liao and his wife in high school, but seeing that he is full of hope, the little boy can't bear to expose him.
"Okay, it's already very late. The little baby is going to bed." Xiao Youduo jumped off the stone and turned around to hold Xuan Bao in his arms. He hugged her reluctantly for a while before carefully putting her down.
"Cousin Youduo, please go back and rest." Xuanbao waved to Xiao Youduo.
