The words sounded harsh, and Xiao Keyi became even more angry. The second brother had always been gentle to everyone, but this was the first time he didn't give himself face like this.
Xiao Mingzhu happened to hear Xiao Kexiao's words when she trotted over with her skirt in hand. She raised her eyes and said, "Second brother has never liked eating porridge, especially millet porridge."
If it's not the second brother's food, it's hers. Without thinking, Xiao Keyi knocked the tray out of Xiao Kexiao's hand with a wave of his hand.
"Clang." There was a loud sound.
At the same time, Xiao Keyi and Xiao Mingzhu both backed away. Xiao Kexiao was half a step slower, and his hem was still stained with food.
"Xiao Keyi, you..." Xiao Kexiao was so angry that his face turned red.
"Second brother, fourth brother didn't do it on purpose. Besides, it's not entirely his fault. You can be sure of it yourself." Princess Rouping was not here, so Xiao Mingzhu didn't have so many scruples in speaking.
"Yes, you were not sure." Xiao Keyi said, "I just waved my hand accidentally."
"It seems carelessness is a universal excuse." Xuan Bao, who had just approached, couldn't help but mocked.
Xiao Keyi turned half around and saw Xuan Bao emerging from the flowers. His anger bubbled up: "Who do you think you are? It's not your turn to point fingers here."
"Who do you think you are?" Li Zhuo, who had been hiding behind the tree as Xuan Bao ordered, couldn't help but come out.
Oops, I don’t know how long my fifth uncle has been hiding here. Did he hear everything he said just now? Xiao Mingzhu suddenly felt guilty and did not dare to say anything.
Li Zhuo glanced at the broken things on the ground, and then looked meaningfully at Xiao Kexiao. The meaning in his eyes was very clear, he was still an elder brother, and even his younger brother couldn't cure him.
Walking forward, before Xiao Keyi could react, Li Zhuo waved his hand and gave him a firm slap.
"Oops, I just waved accidentally."
Xiao Keyi was stunned for a moment after being slapped, then covered his face and glared at Li Zhuo: "Fifth uncle, you did it on purpose."
"I did it on purpose." Li Zhuo slapped Xiao Keyi again with his backhand.
This time, the slapped face was symmetrical, and Li Zhuo didn't use too much force. His two slaps were less harmful but extremely insulting.
"You dare to hit me, even my father has never hit me." Xiao Ke rushed towards Li Zhuo with loyalty.
At the age of fifteen, when he was in a good mood, Xiao Keyi originally looked down on Li Zhuo, but he treated him politely because he was an elder.
"Fourth brother." Xiao Kexiao wanted to hold Xiao Keyi, but with his thin body, he could not hold back the reckless young man.
Xiao Mingzhu was stunned. She didn't expect that the fifth uncle would take action directly. The fourth brother would knock over Xuan Bao's food. What a big deal, he actually took action.
Xuan Bao became anxious when she saw this. Just as she was about to step forward, she heard the old Taoist master in her mind say, "Don't worry, that kid is the old monk's disciple."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Bao changed his mind. She quickly stepped forward and pulled Xiao Kexiao away. The fire at the city gate would affect the fish in the pond. The second brother must not become that fish.
Li Zhuo wanted to punish Xiao Keyi just now in Qinse Courtyard, but it was difficult to do so because his sister Princess Rouping was present.
Now the opportunity has come. He disobeyed his elders, bullied his sister, disrespected his brother, and held the truth in his hands. Li Zhuo did not hesitate to teach Xiao Keyi a lesson.
After being beaten continuously and trying to fight back but unable to do so, Xiao Keyi finally realized that even if his fifth uncle Li Zhuo tried his best, he was no match for him.
Xiao Mingzhu looked at it for a moment, her expression complex and constantly changing. Isn't Li Zhuo just a playboy? Why is he so skilled? Is his memory wrong?
"Fifth uncle, please show mercy." Xiao Kexiao couldn't bear it after all.
"Go away, this kid just needs a lesson. He really thinks that he is invincible, but he is just a showman." Every time Li Zhuo made a move, Xiao Keyi was in great pain, but all of them were just superficial injuries.
"Xuanbao, now you're satisfied. It's all because of you that the fourth brother was beaten." Xiao Mingzhu saw Princess Rouping hurried over with the support of Aunt Ying and immediately raised her voice and shouted.
"The fifth uncle must have a reason for beating the fourth brother. What does it have to do with me? What did the sixth sister say?"
Princess Rouping preconceived the idea, and when she heard Xiao Mingzhu's words, she subconsciously thought that Xiao Keyi had a conflict with Xuan Bao, and Li Zhuo was doing it for her sake.
"Xuanbao, what happened to you and your fourth brother?"
"The fourth brother blocked the way of the second brother and knocked over something, so my fifth uncle and I came over from the pavilion to have a look."
Xuan Bao lowered his head in grievance. His mother thought that she was causing trouble and concluded that the incident was caused by her. She felt depressed.
"The two brothers had a dispute. Why did your fifth uncle take action?" Princess Rouping did not notice Xuan Bao's emotional change.
Xiao Mingzhu quickly added: "Mom, fourth brother accidentally knocked over Xuan Bao's food."
"If you overturn it, just ask someone to do it again." Princess Rouping stepped forward and said, "Li Zhuo, stop it quickly."
After giving Xiao Keyi two more firm punches, Li Zhuocai slowly straightened his back: "Sister, if you don't discipline your son, he will go to hell. Xiao Keyi, I will discipline you for you today. If anyone thinks I hit you wrong, feel free to come."
Find me."
Xiao Mingzhu ran forward to help Xiao Keyi. When she raised her head, her face was already full of tears.
Princess Rouping ran so fast that she couldn't catch her breath. She took a deep breath and asked with a heavy breath: "Fifth brother, what is going on?"
"Xiao Kexiao, tell me." Li Zhuo was too lazy to say more.
After listening to her second son's detailed explanation of what had just happened, Princess Rouping looked at Xiao Keyi with a complicated expression.
Li Zhuo was right, Xiao Keyi acted too arrogantly, but seeing the miserable condition of him being beaten, the mother felt heartbroken again.
Auntie Ying understood Princess Rouping's thoughts best: "Whoever comes, please send the Fourth Young Master back first, and quickly go see the doctor."
"I care about your fourth brother so much, why don't you go with me?" Li Zhuo said coldly to Xiao Mingzhu.
Originally, she wanted to stay, but after hearing this, Xiao Mingzhu could only follow Xiao Keyi and leave first.
"Xuanbao, are you hungry? Let's go eat some snacks with your second brother." Li Zhuo said again.
The fifth uncle deliberately drove away the juniors, and Xiao Kexiao immediately left with Xuan Bao.
"Sister, come and sit in the pavilion in front." Li Zhuo pointed forward.
Princess Rouping was a little surprised when she heard this, but she still followed him to the pavilion, leaving only Aunt Ying to wait on her while the rest of the servants all retreated.
After about a cup of tea, Li Zhuo said goodbye and left. Princess Rouping was still sitting in the pavilion.
After watching for a while, Princess Rouping said leisurely: "Mother Ying, Li Zhuo Mingzhu is instigating dissension, but she is only six years old, can she really have such deep intentions?"
"I don't dare to say for sure, but Miss Six's words and deeds really don't look like she is six years old."
"It's inevitable that Mingzhu will be unhappy when Xuan Bao comes back. Xiaosi has always been on good terms with her, so it's normal to stand up for her."
Aunt Ying heard that the princess did not believe what the fifth master Li Zhuo said. Although she was doubtful, she felt in her heart that the sixth lady was not innocent.
