The brothers and sisters murmured, and no one paid attention to the elders walking in front. However, Xiao Liao looked at them from time to time when he was leading the way and turned back. Seeing that although they were lagging behind, they were catching up, he raised the corner of his mouth.
sneer.
In Xiao Youfeng's room, young and beautiful maids were coming in and out. I thought it would stop now, but I didn't expect it to be quite lively.
Before anyone could enter, they heard Fang Rongru’s harsh curses and several women’s cries.
Mrs. Xiao was trembling with anger: "Xiao Liao, what is she doing?"
"Mom, I guess it's because the maid around Feng'er didn't serve her well enough. Rongru is just a small punishment but a big warning."
"Is this a small punishment and a big warning?" Princess Rouping was very surprised, "The sound is quite loud."
"Mother Sun." Mrs. Xiao raised her hand to signal.
Aunt Sun and Aunt Ying stepped forward and opened the two doors, one on the left and one on the right, and the scene inside was vaguely visible.
Just as Xuan Bao was about to step forward to see what was going on, the fourth brother and the fifth brother grabbed the little doll from the left and right, and the second brother quickly covered her eyes with his hands.
"Oh, brothers, what are you doing?" Xuan Bao still wanted to see what was going on, but suddenly he was stopped and the little baby raised his voice dissatisfiedly and asked
At the same time, Xiao Kexiao, who had his back to the door, shouted loudly: "Little four and little five, don't look at anything inappropriate."
Hearing this, Xiao Keyi and Xiao Keli both closed their eyes. The brother and sister moved smoothly, but it only happened in the blink of an eye.
After everyone was stunned for a moment, they couldn't help but turn their attention to Princess Rouping, who was still in a daze.
"You have taught the children extremely well." Mrs. Xiao praised her and then turned cold, "Xiao Xiao, please go back with your younger brothers and sisters."
Mrs. Xiao immediately made the decision and brought Princess Rouping and several nuns inside, leaving all the young ones outside.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, the brothers let go of their hands, and Xuan Bao let out a long breath.
"I saw it. The sister inside was beaten. It looked very painful."
"Xuanbao, stop talking, grandma will take care of these matters herself." Xiao Kexiao said hurriedly.
The three brothers looked at each other in embarrassment. In fact, the moment the door opened, not only Xuan Bao saw it, but they also saw it.
Just in front of Xiao Youfeng's bed, Fang Rongru was sitting on a chair with a venomous face and curses on her lips. His girls, who were married to him, were kneeling on the floor. A rough nun was whipping them, crying and wailing as they watched.
It's really frightening.
Seeing that Xiao Youfeng was dying, Fang Rongru turned all her anger on the women around him.
"That's enough!" Mrs. Xiao's fierce shouting could be heard clearly outside the house.
Xiao Liao greeted Xiao Kexiao and the others: "It's a rare trip to Xikuoyuan. Come and sit in the hall. My second uncle will ask someone to serve some tea and snacks. Just wait for the old lady and the others while you eat."
Just when the brothers were about to refuse, Xuan Bao said first, "Okay, there's no need for tea and snacks. Speaking of which, we haven't officially come to greet my second uncle, so we can just sit down."
Now that Xuan Bao had agreed, the three brothers looked at each other and could only nod in unison.
"Xuan Bao is right, we will only disturb the second uncle." Xiao Kexiao saluted politely, and the other two followed suit.
The brothers and sisters followed Xiao Liao as they walked towards the hall. Xuan Bao's eyes flashed as she jumped up and down. In broad daylight, she really wanted to know what methods this second uncle wanted to use.
Thinking of the enigmatic figure in the painting in Xikuoyuan and the demon of paranoia, Xuan Bao did not dare to be careless and secretly summoned Lao Zhou, Yun Niang and other ghosts, and even released the evil Xiao Bai.
When the time comes, we will be more sure if we all take action together.
"Little stupid baby, when did you become so unconfident?" the veteran Taoist master in the space laughed.
"Be careful when sailing a thousand-year boat, isn't that what you taught me?" Xuan Bao replied secretly.
The old Taoist master said happily: "It's right to be careful, but you don't have to underestimate yourself. Today is not what it used to be, and there are not many people who can beat you."
The master and apprentice murmured secretly, but within a moment, Xiao Liao led them to the hall of the West Cross Courtyard.
"Hurry up, serve tea to the county lord and the young gentlemen, and tell the kitchen to bring out all the nice and delicious snacks as soon as possible." Xiao Liao ordered loudly as soon as he sat down, looking like he was his second uncle.
appearance.
As Xiao Kexiao is the elder brother, it is natural for him to chat with Xiao Liao, and the other three can just say a few words from time to time.
Xuan Bao looked at Xiao Liao calmly. From his appearance, it was easy to see how much he doted on Xiao Youfeng. However, his most beloved son was about to die, so it was remarkable that he could still hold back his temper and chat with them here.
unusual.
Within a moment, the servants served tea and snacks, and the coffee table was filled with things.
Before she started eating, Xuan Bao knew something was wrong with the food. Yun Niang and Xiao Juan waved to her outside the door.
"You guys, hurry up and give it a try. The chefs in Xikuoyuan are quite good, especially the dim sum chef. The dim sum they make is quite good." Xiao Liao said with an attentive smile.
Xuan Bao refused with a smile and said: "Thank you very much, uncle, but we are not hungry."
"It's okay to try it, just a small piece." Xiao Liao said with a smile, "You won't even give this little face to your second uncle, right? The elders can't refuse it."
"Since the second uncle said so, let's try it." Xiao Keyi, who has an upright personality, picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth.
Xuan Bao jumped over and reached out to quickly grab Xiao Keyi's wrist: "Fourth brother, don't eat it."
"What do you mean? Do you still dislike the food here?" Xiao Liao immediately sneered.
Xiao Kexiao hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Second uncle, Xiaosi has been in poor health recently. He has just recovered a little. The doctor said he should eat light food. Xuanbao just reminded him."
"That's right, that's right." Xiao Keli agreed, "I definitely don't mean to dislike it."
Xiao Liao's expression softened a little. Unexpectedly, Xuan Bao came close to Xiao Keyi's hand and smelled it before sneering: "Second Uncle's dim sum here is too stuffed, we don't dare to eat it."
"Xuan Bao, I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. I underestimated you." Xiao Liao's face darkened.
"Since the second uncle doesn't want to see you, let's just leave." Xuan Bao pulled Xiao Keyi up and winked at Xiao Ke and them.
Although the three brothers didn't know why, Xuan Bao had never been unreasonable, and it was clear that there was something in what she said to Xiao Liao.
Without thinking, the three brothers stood up and followed Xuan Bao towards the door.
"Wait, don't go out." Xuan Bao felt the familiar aura of his old rival coming towards him before he even stepped out of the threshold.
"Haha, you can't leave." Xiao Liao sat upright with a gloating sneer.
Turning around and pushing the three brothers in, Xuan Bao instantly regretted that he had underestimated the enemy too much. At the moment, besides himself, he had to protect his three brothers, and he didn't know if his grandmother and mother in Xiao Youfeng's room were safe.
