After listening to what the second brother and third brother said, coupled with what Princess Rouping and Aunt Ying said, and what Xiao Youduo said, it was obvious that there was something wrong with one of them hitting his head and the other falling into the water during the conflict.
Xuan Bao thought to himself that proving there was a problem was not enough to prove what he had guessed.
"Why did you suddenly ask about this?" Xiao Kexiao stared at the little baby, "Is there something wrong with them or something happened to the second room?"
Xiao Kexiao couldn't figure it out, could it be that after so many years, the second wife could still make a fuss about this trivial matter between children?
"No." After all, there was no real evidence, and the idea was too scary, so Xuan Bao kept it secret for the time being.
Xiao Keren touched Xuan Bao's head. He didn't believe that nothing happened, but the little baby didn't want to say it and he didn't force it.
"If you have anything to say, just tell us. Don't keep it in your heart."
The third brother said this because he was already suspicious. Xuanbao raised a smile and pretended to be stupid and said: "I know, I will do it. By the way, the second brother, the foreign affairs of the house?"
"It's easier to recover mother's dowry from those shops and farms." Xiao Kexiao told the truth, "Even from our Marquis Mansion, we recovered about 40% of it, and they are still not very profitable shops."
Xuan Bao knew very well that the mother's dowry and the third uncle didn't think it would be a big problem. On the contrary, the Hou Mansion had no idea how big the loss was, and the second wife was lining their own pockets. I'm afraid the rest wouldn't be worth much if they got it back.
.
"Does Third Brother have any good ideas for this?" Xuan Bao turned to Xiao Keren.
Being looked at by the little doll with adoring eyes, Xiao Keren felt that he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself even if he didn't think of a solution.
"Second brother, why don't you think about it differently and remove the firepower?"
"What's the meaning?"
"If the second bedroom can be taken away from our first bedroom in an honest manner, so can we."
Xuan Bao's eyes are bright. The third brother is really a talent. Although his tricks are a bit clumsy, no matter whether he is good or bad, the ones that work are good.
Xiao Kexiao, however, had a face full of disapproval: "Third brother, don't teach Xuan Bao a bad lesson."
"Second brother is too pedantic. Why can't we use the same trick that second brother can use?" Xiao Keren asked rhetorically.
"Third uncle often says that there is no business without adultery." Xuan Bao looked at Xiao Kexiao, "Second brother seems to be still far away from being a businessman. I don't understand the big truth, I just think that as long as you don't break the law, the situation shouldn't be too serious.
Pay attention, the bottom line is conscience, other means are just methods, use different methods to deal with different people, be flexible."
Huh? Brothers Xiao Kexiao and Xiao Keren were greatly surprised. Xuan Bao's words have profound meaning if you think about them carefully.
"Xuan Bao, it's the second brother who has taken the form. You are right, you have to be flexible when things happen." Xiao Kexiao seemed to have been opened up to the second line of Ren and Du. Many years later, when he became the world's number one imperial merchant, looking back, his transformation was
It started after hearing what Xuan Bao said.
Xiao Keren squeezed in front of Xuan Bao and pinched Ting's pink cheeks excitedly: "You are still so sharp-tongued. With just a few words, you can make this second brother's idiot come to his senses."
"Third brother, there is something I want you to do." Xuan Bao looked serious.
"Okay, you say."
"Go and have a word with brother."
"say what?"
"Second aunt's hand was burned by will-o'-the-wisp."
"Really?" the brothers said in unison.
Xuan Bao nodded: "Of course it's true. Third brother wanted to find a reason and pretended to say it casually."
"Why do you need the third child to speak? I can do it as well." Xiao Kexiao asked puzzledly.
Xiao Keren and Xuan Bao both rolled their eyes: "If the second brother's nemesis is the eldest brother, it will definitely not work if he lies in front of him."
"Second brother, you are going to sweep through Erfang's shop next. Just leave such trivial matters in the house to third brother." Ruo Xuanbao thought he was quite good at deceiving people.
This reason really fooled Xiao Kexiao, and he was smart enough to find a reason for Xuan Bao: "You found out the truth and wanted to tell the second wife through the mouth of the eldest brother."
"By the way, it's my second brother who knows me." Xuan Bao clapped his hands and said with a smile.
"Second brother, it's time to get busy."
"Yes, there are quite a lot of things." Xiao Kexiao was deceived by Xiao Keren and left with just one word.
Xuan Bao raised his eyes and met Xiao Keren's scrutinizing gaze: "Tell me, did you find anything related to eldest brother?"
I knew I couldn't hide it from the third brother. In fact, both brothers were said to be smart, but the second brother's cleverness disappeared automatically as soon as he encountered family ties, so Xuan Bao didn't want him to know about the affairs in the Hou's house, let alone his intervention.
"Third brother, I think the eldest brother may not be our eldest brother." Xuan Bao said directly.
Xiao Keren's expression was shocked and then returned to his original state. The second brother had a problem, and he had a problem. Now it seems logical that the eldest brother has a problem. I wonder if Xiaosi and Xiaowu also have problems?
"You don't want to tell me that my eldest brother and Xiao Youduo were replaced when they were young, do you? There is a age difference between the two of them. If you want to replace them, it will be me. They are the same age."
"It's not as simple as changing children."
"You mean it has something to do with the big change in eldest brother's temperament back then?" Xiao Keren's mind was spinning very fast.
Xuan Bao frowned: "It's just my suspicion at the moment."
"So you asked me to leak the news to my eldest brother to see if he had tipped off?"
"This is just one aspect. You must know that will-o'-the-wisp burns need to be treated with Xuanmen magic, otherwise it will take less than three days to spread from the hands to the whole body."
Xiao Keren asked curiously: "Will you die if it spreads to the whole body?"
"Life is worse than death."
It's not that Xuan Bao is cold-blooded, it's that Fang Rongru is too cruel. Thinking of what she did, the little boy wants to make her disappear, but that's not possible right now.
With a sneer on his lips, Xuan Bao said, "Look, the house has calmed down a bit today."
"So that's it. I was surprised that everyone in the second room seemed to be in a hurry today and didn't have time to argue with Aunt Ying. It turned out that Fang Rongru had something wrong." I have to say that Xiao Keren's mind is really flexible, and he connected the cause and effect at once.
"Xuan Bao, I have always had a question. With your ability to deal with the second wife, it should be easy to deal with Fang Rongru?" Xiao Keren couldn't help but ask after holding it in for a long time.
Xuan Bao sighed helplessly: "Third brother, think about what happened, which one is normal? Which one is the second room's capable of doing?"
Xiao Keren suddenly realized: "The second wife has someone to rely on."
"Yes, I just want to see who the expert behind Fang Rongru is? I hope her use value is great enough for that person to show up and take action."
"Xuan Bao, are you very sinister?" Xiao Keren looked at Xuan Bao, "Just now I felt that you were a bit like my father."
"What's so sinister? I have a lot of poetry and calligraphy."
"Wow, your experienced Taoist master is really a genius. How come he wants to teach the art of war to a kid who can't speak clearly?"
