Chapter 30
Xiao Jingting’s face became dark and full of anger. How could Xiao Jinfeng be that kind of person?
Xiao Jinfeng had also been in the mercenary team for three years and done many tasks with them. This mercenary team was really too cold-hearted to expel Xiao Jinfeng. He didn’t believe Xiao Jinfeng would rob Zhou Kangqi of his prey. There must be some misunderstanding. The Zhou family and the Xiao family were old enemies. It was possible that Zhou Kangqi, seeing that the Xiao family was not as strong as it used to be, deliberately suppressed Xiao Jinfeng.
The Zhou family plotted against Xiao Jinfeng and Xiao family did not even give Xiao Jinfeng a chance to defend himself. The Xiao family was really in a mess. And since when did Feng Xue’er become Xiao Muhong’s wife? Feng Xue’er was originally a dancer from a dance house, who was taken and accepted as a concubine by Xiao Muhong, so she was not respected as a proper concubine in many people’s eyes.
It was ridiculous to expel the Xiao family’s rightful young master for the sake of a dancing girl.
Xiao Jingting knew about Xiao Jinfeng’s character. This person took evil and injustice as his own enemy and was somewhat rigidly upright, so it was impossible for him to do such a thing. Besides, Xiao Jinfeng may be good at drinking, but he was by no means good at womanizing.
“Grandfather didn’t say anything and just watched second brother get expelled from the house?” Xiao Jingting asked with some dissatisfaction.
Xu Muan shook his head and said, “Your grandfather is in seclusion.”
Looking at Xiao Jingting’s appearance, Xu Muan could not help being surprised. Xiao Jingting and Xiao Jinfeng did not get along, Xiao Jinfeng once had even taught Xiao Jingting a lesson. Xiao Jingting was always calling Xiao Jinfeng “bastard” or “son of a bitch” behind his back. Xu Muan thought that Xiao Jingting would gloat at Xiao Jinfeng’s downfall.
“Grandfather really has a big heart.” Xiao Jingting said with dissatisfaction.
“Recently what he concerns about is how to prolong his own life. He has more than one son and even more grandchildren. Xiao Jingfeng’s attributes are not good so he has not been valued. Your grandfather has not been in charge of family matters for a long time and he doesn’t bother to care about such things.” Xu Muan shook his head.
Xiao Jingting’s father, Xiao Linfeng, was the second son at the seventh level of Qi Practice and his mother, Wang Lu, was a level six Qi Practitioner.
Xiao Jingting’s uncle, Xiao Chengfeng, was the first son at the sixth level of Qi Practice and his wife Liu Xiu was a level five Qi Practitioner. Xiao Muhong was the eldest son of Xiao Chengfeng and Liu Xian.
Xiao Linfeng and Xiao Chengfeng had the same father but different mother, so they had been competing openly and secretly with each other. When the original body owner’s parents were present, they steadily suppressed Xiao Chengfeng. Now that the original body owner’s parents were dead, Xiao Chengfeng would not let go of this opportunity to suppress his second brother.
“The Xiao family will experience many changes!” Xiao Jingting shook his head and thought: First the original body’s owner was expelled, then his second elder brother was also framed. Xiao Jingting’s lineage could be said to be completely suppressed.
Xiao Jingting smiled bitterly, compared to the tactics used against the original body owner’s second elder brother, their eldest uncle’s wife Liu Xian was quite nice to the original body owner.
“Did the letter say anything about my second brother’s whereabouts?” Xiao Jingting asked.
Xu Muan was stunned as he said, “Do you want to invite your second brother to our place?”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes, our family can afford to shelter my second brother.” The second elder brother of the original body owner was a loyal and righteous person, and his strength was not weak. After all, Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan were short of hands. If he could have Xiao Jingfeng come to live with them, their family would also be more lively.
Xu Muan hesitated for a moment before he said, “Your elder brother seems to be injured.”
Xiao Jingting frowned and hesitated. Reasonably speaking, he should go and pick up Xiao Jingfeng, but once he left, all the work in the field would be delayed… this was the original body owner’s brother after all! Inheriting the original body, Xiao Jingting also felt a sense of blood connection with his relatives.
“I have to go.” Xiao Jingting deliberated for a moment.
“You don’t have to go there, I’ll go.” Xu Muan hesitated for a moment.
“You will go?” Xiao Jingting asked.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “The work in the fields can’t be done without you. It is hard for our family to become better, so we can’t give up halfway.”
“Moreover, you should not show up now, I always felt that after we have arrived here your uncle and aunt have not relaxed their surveillance on you. You were sent here for self-cultivation. If you leave hastily, you will be scolded by them. If you go to see your second elder brother at this time, they will be even more suspicious of you. It’s better for me to go. I just hope you can take care of our two children while I am gone.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “All right.” He wasn’t familiar with this world yet, and he had far less experience than Xu Muan. Xu Muan looked quiet and meek but in fact, he was very smart and had great ideas.
