Chapter 209: Taking the lead

The smile on his face slowly faded, and Xuan Bao's expression turned serious. Seeing this, Xiao Kexiao and Xiao Keren also stopped joking and became serious.

"The first thing is to try, third brother. As for the second thing, it's about the eldest brother. The real eldest brother, that is, brother Youduo is in trouble. His parents, no, it's Xiao Liao and his wife who asked him to come back out of kindness.

."

"Then let him not come back." Xiao Kexiao came up with an idea.

Xiao Keren shook his head: "It's too late. I'm afraid the second uncle's people will leave the city when the city gate opens. If he rushes back right away, he will arrive in about half an hour."

"Then there's still half an hour." Xuan Bao stood up.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Kexiao hurriedly grabbed Xuan Bao, "Don't act impulsively."

Xuan Bao patted the second brother's hand that grabbed his arm: "I just wanted to stop him and prevent him from coming back."

"This is a good idea. I'll go with you." Xiao Keren said.

Xuan Bao blinked and couldn't help but ask: "Second brother and third brother don't ask clearly why, I just tell you, do you believe it?"

"We don't have time. You and the third child can go." Xiao Kexiao let go of Xuanbao's hand, "I'll keep an eye on the house. You take Awang and drive there. Go and come back quickly. Pay attention to your safety."

"Second brother is right." Xiao Keren led Xuan Bao out and said, "No need to ask any more questions. We believe everything you say and support whatever you do. In short, just say it wherever it is useful. The most important thing is no matter what you do.

You have to ensure your own safety.”

Xuan Bao suddenly had tears in her eyes. This is her family, this is her brother, who trusts and supports her unconditionally.

"What? Are you tired?" Xiao Keren turned around and saw that the baby's eyes were red, so he picked it up and said, "Third brother, I won't feel tired if I hold you."

The brother and sister only took Xia Yu with them, and Awang drove out quietly from the back door of the Hou Mansion, and the carriage headed straight for the city gate.

Looking along the way, Xuanbao and the others did not find Xiao Youduo.

"County Lord, did we not pay attention and miss it?" Xia Yu asked while looking at it.

Xuan Bao said calmly: "It's impossible."

Xiao Keren raised the car curtains to look at the sky: "He hasn't entered the city yet, so he probably has something to delay him."

"Perhaps he doesn't want to come back and has been waiting for a while." Xuan Bao took over, "He has been heartbroken by his second wife over the years."

Seeing Xuan Bao's mature appearance, Xiao Keren reached out and pinched her cheek: "You are just a little baby, not suitable for speaking such old-fashioned words."

Pouting her little mouth, Xuan Bao recovered her cuteness and rolled her eyes: "The third brother is the most annoying."

At this time, the carriage stopped, and I heard Awang outside say that he had arrived at the city gate, and asked whether he should wait or leave the city.

"Leave the city. You can walk more slowly after leaving the city." Xuan Bao raised his voice.

"Okay." Awang raised his riding whip.

After the carriage left the city gate, there were gradually fewer pedestrians on the road. Xiao Keren and Xuan Bao simply asked Xia Yu to roll up the carriage curtains.

"Third brother, I'm a little uneasy." Xuan Bao suddenly said.

Xiao Keren comforted him and said, "You're overthinking, it'll be okay."

"Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Unknowingly, the carriage had arrived at the foot of the mountain, and Awang stopped the carriage.

After getting off the carriage, Xuanbao looked around and then pointed at the big rock behind the tree in front of him: "Let's rest here for a while."

"The county lord and the third son will rest for a while. I will lead the carriage into the forest so as not to block the way down the mountain." Awang told Xia Yu while holding the reins, "Be careful and I will tie up the horse and come back."

"

While they were talking, Xuan Bao had already led Xiao Keren to the big rock and sat down.

"Hey, you are really good at choosing." Xiao Keren found that they could clearly see the only path going up and down the mountain from where they were sitting. On the contrary, because it was covered by trees and shrubs, people going up and down the mountain might not be able to notice them.

Xia Yu hurriedly followed her. She opened the small package she was carrying and spread it out to see that there was a food box inside.

"Since we haven't eaten since early in the morning, the county lord and the third son have some snacks to fill their stomachs."

"Xuanbao, your maid is so thoughtful."

"That's the maid who doesn't care who it is?" Xuan Bao wiped his little hands and ate the snack. Xiao Keren followed suit without hesitation.

"You also use some snacks and leave two pieces for Awang." Xuanbao said vaguely with the snacks in his mouth.

Xia Yu smiled and said, "No need to keep them, Awang and I had eaten before we went out. These are the breakfast meals that the second master ordered the kitchen to prepare. Seeing that we were in a hurry to go out, he asked me to take them out."

"Second brother is becoming more attentive now." Xiao Keren praised.

Xuan Bao nodded lightly: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and the second brother is a person on the battlefield. If you are not careful, you will lose everything."

"Isn't it just a loss?" Xiao Keren said with a smile, "It's not like I can't afford to lose money."

"Third brother, go back and carefully check how much our family's expenses were last year, and then think about whether you can afford to lose money or not."

Xiao Keren was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and Xuan Bao suddenly listened carefully.

"Someone is coming down the mountain." Xuan Bao swallowed the snack in his hand.

After coming back to his senses, Xiao Keren also ate the snacks, and Xia Yu quickly put the food box back into the package.

Looking from a distance, someone was really going down the mountain, and a carriage was slowly approaching halfway up the mountain.

"Our carriage." Xiao Keren recognized it from afar.

At this moment, Awang came over. He followed their gazes and muttered, "Hey, that's weird. Why is he here to pick someone up?"

"A cart driver?" Xuanbao immediately grasped the key to Awang's words.

Ngawang replied: "It's not the coachman, but the man sitting next to the coachman. People in the mansion privately call him the second housekeeper."

"Second housekeeper?" Xuan Bao asked puzzledly.

Xiao Keren took over the words: "I heard that he is a relative of the second aunt. He is the general manager of Xikuoyuan. When the second aunt was in charge of the internal affairs of the Hou Mansion, this person relied on such a few connections to reach out to all the big and small houses in the house.

He has a hand in everything, so the servants call him 'Second Butler'."

Understood, this person's name is Fang Yin, and he is Fang Rongru's confidant. Xuan Bao's lips curled up into a sneer: "In order to get people back home, I did not hesitate to send this second housekeeper to pick them up."

While they were talking, the carriage going down the mountain suddenly stopped, and then the carriage was seen shaking.

Just as they were about to rush up to see what was going on, they saw Xiao Youduo jump out of the carriage, and two more boys jumped out right behind him.

Xuan Bao's face darkened. He was really cautious. The four of them escorted Brother Youduo back to his home. It was inevitable that they would take him back even if they had to use force.

"I won't go back, I won't go back." Xiao Youduo's face was filled with anger, "They just allowed him to be lawless, and my grandmother punished him well."

Fang Yin jumped out of the carriage and came to Xiao Youduo with a smile: "Master, you and the young master are brothers after all, it is appropriate to go back and visit."

"Visit? Thinking of the things he did, I don't want to see him at all." Xiao Youduo said angrily.
