When I asked my fifth uncle, Xu Sijie looked embarrassed, but if we went behind my father's back to investigate the past, I'm afraid my fifth uncle wouldn't help us. In his impression, my fifth uncle treated him very coldly. He wasn't sure.

I will definitely help them. However, the fifth uncle is very kind to the fourth brother. Maybe if the fourth brother asks, it will be different.

While thinking about it, Xu Sichen already smiled and said: Of course we can't ask directly. We need to find someone to borrow. Well, let's just say that we occasionally heard that Liu Huifang and Liu Kui were father and son. Let the fifth uncle talk about what happened back then.

The more I think my idea is feasible, the fifth uncle likes to talk to people about these ironclad things. When the time comes, if we ask carefully, we will definitely be able to find out something. After saying that, he took Xu Sijie and went to the fifth lady. Listen.

Mine's right

Xu Sijie hesitated for a moment and followed Xu Sizhen.

Xu Lingkuan is not at home.

What are you doing to him? The fifth lady asked the maid to bring the newly-launched persimmons and oranges to entertain them. He won't be able to go home until early this afternoon.

The two of them were a little disappointed.

I heard that we had a niece, and the third uncle wanted to invite the German music class to sing. We came to ask the fifth uncle what operas he sang. Xu Sizhen chatted with the fifth wife for a few words, then stood up and left.

Passing by the back door of the main house, two little maids with their hair cut off were sitting on the steps playing with a rope.

How about we sit in mother's room and talk to Xu Sizhen, and then go to the fifth aunt's place after Baichu.

Xu Sijie, on the other hand, had a bit of a nostalgic and timid sentiment.

He looked at the dark green branches sticking out from behind the white wall, and the smiling eyes of Eleven Niang suddenly appeared in his mind. He seemed to faintly hear Eleven Niang's gentle voice shouting, "Brother, please slow down." Xu Sijie's eyes became a little astringent.

Get dark.

He shook his head gently and said bitterly: "We'd better go back to the house and wait." He walked through the back door of the main house holding his shoulders.

The two little maids quickly stood up and shouted: Fourth Young Master and Fifth Young Master.

Xu Sijie was absent-minded and didn't realize it.

Xu Sizhen smiled at them, nodded, and quickly caught up with Xu Sijie.

I think you don’t need to take this matter to heart at all. These days, Xu Sizhen has seen Xu Sijie’s pain and struggle, and his compassion for this younger brother is even greater than before. In the eyes of the world, you will always be

The fifth young master of Pinghou Mansion. Who has the right to pursue the case if his father doesn’t hold him to account and his mother doesn’t hold him to account? What others say is just rumors.

I know. Xu Sijie interrupted Xu Sizhen's words and said in frustration, but I feel very unhappy. The nicer you treat me, the more uneasy I feel.

Xu Sizhen's face changed after hearing this, he suddenly stopped and stood there in a daze.

Suddenly someone was missing from his side. Xu Sijie couldn't help but turn around: What's wrong? What came into view was Xu Sichen's slightly blue face.

What happened? Did he interrupt the fourth brother rudely? Did the fourth brother get angry? Or did he accidentally say something that made the fourth brother unhappy?

The thought flashed through Xu Sijie's mind and he immediately denied his guess.

Fourth brother is not such a stingy person.

On the contrary, he has always been suspicious since he doubted his identity.

Fourth Brother shyly pulled Xu Sizhen's sleeve.

As if struck by lightning, Xu Sizhen shook his body, took Xu Sijie's hand and ran towards the outer courtyard.

Fourth brother Xu Sijie was shocked.

Don't say anything. Xu Sizhen shouted loudly, sweat broke out on his forehead. Let's go back to Danbozhai quickly.

His strangeness made Xu Sijie dare not ask any more questions, so he followed him back to Danbozhai.

Xu Sizhen ignored the maids and wives who were all bowing to him, and called Wang Shu loudly, then whispered a few words to Wang Shu in his ear, and closed the door with a snap.

Fourth brother, what's wrong with you? Xu Sijie asked strangely.

It's okay, it's okay. Xu Sizhen's eyes were a little panicked when he thought of his thoughts. Let's stay in the room for a while. Then he found a book and handed it to Xu Sijie. Why don't you read the book for a while and walk around the room by yourself? It looked like

Very anxious.

Under such circumstances, Xu Sijie couldn't see what he was doing. After asking Xu Sichen several times, he just told him to wait. He could only hold his chin up and watch Xu Sichen wander around the room.

After about a stick of incense, Wang Shu came and knocked on the door.

Xu Sizhen left Xu Sijie and ran out.

After a while, he turned back.

Xu Sijie stood up immediately: What, what happened? He had a bad feeling.

Fifth brother, Xu Sizhen's mouth was trembling a little. Even we could find out that his father was fighting in the northwest at that time. How could he not know that his father was the Marquis of Yongping?

It was said voluntarily that Uncle Wu had taken care of a theater troupe back then and learned how to sing from others. No one who knew what happened to the Liu family could be found. He just suddenly remembered that when he was a child, his grandmother lost her temper because Uncle Five took care of the theater troupe.

The top performer in the troupe seemed to be named Liu. He asked Wang Shu to ask an old man at home to confirm that the top performer was Liu Huifang. Xu Sizhen's voice was trembling and his words were not coherent, but Xu Sijie could understand him.

His face became the same as Xu Sizhen's, faintly green.

The two brothers looked at the place where the fifth lady lived in unison.

How can the ears

Will not

How could he be the son of his fifth uncle?

No. If he is not his father's son, he should have been adopted for Aunt Tong. How could he be the son of his fifth uncle?

He thought of the gentleness that flashed in his father's eyes when he wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, thought of his father's relief when he saw that he could write small characters, thought of the person who turned a blind eye to him when the house was full of people during the holidays, thought of that person when they met by chance on the road.

man's indifference to himself

Is it wrong? Xu Sijie held Xu Sizhen's arm tightly. Let Wang Shu ask again. It must be wrong. It must be wrong.

Xu Sizhen said nothing and looked at him quietly, his eyes full of sympathy as if a fire was burning in his heart.

Xu Sijie's eyes were red, he pushed away the oval fan and stumbled out: I want to ask, I want to ask

The little maid couldn't avoid it and was knocked to the ground by Xu Sijie, but his steps became faster.

Oops

If he does this, everyone will definitely know about it.

If dad asks, how should he answer?

The fifth brother Xu Sizhen's face changed drastically. He didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately chased after him. He called Wang Shu who was guarding the door: "Stop the fifth young master quickly." Wang Shu responded loudly and chased after him.

Xu Sizhen didn't rest either. He chased after him panting, "Fifth brother, wait for me."

The astute Huo Qing saw it and followed him.

The footstones and bricks under his feet were square and square, the floor-to-ceiling pillars with black lotus flowers were quiet and solemn, and the green towering trees were serene and calm. The scenery that once made him feel beautiful was so strange now.

Tears blurred Xu Sijie's vision.

If he wants to ask, fourth brother must be wrong. He needs to ask himself.

Someone grabbed his arm.

He struggled desperately and left the man behind.

The fifth young master, Wang Shu, did not expect Xu Sijie to break away from him. He was stunned, and soon caught up with Xu Sijie, who was scurrying like a headless fly. This time he learned his lesson, pounced on Xu Sijie from behind, and hugged him across the waist.

.

Xu Sijie was like a fish being scooped up. No matter how he jumped and jumped, he could not break free.

Let me go, let me go, Xu Sijie shouted, his neck was thick and red, you lied to me, you lied to me

Some servants passing by stood in the distance and pointed.

Xu Sizhen, who took the opportunity to chase after him, his mouth turned white, and he gasped and grabbed Brother Jie's hand: "Do you want to make the whole family aware of it? What will your mother do then? Should she help you apologize or help you go to your grandmother to plead for mercy?"

Xu Sijie stiffened and froze.

The fifth brother respects his mother the most.

Xu Sizhen breathed a sigh of relief: Drag him back so that no one can laugh at him

Huo Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help Wang Shu carry Xu Sijie back to Danboxuan.

Biluo came out: What's going on? She looked nervous.

The fifth brother and I had a quarrel. Xu Sizhen gasped and asked everyone to step back. If anyone dares to say anything, they will be sold immediately by Yazi.

He had always been kind to others, but with such a stern tone, not to mention Biluo, even the maids who had been watching the excitement were shocked. Before Biluo could give orders, no one was left in the yard.

Xu Sizhen closed the door.

Fifth brother, don't be like this. He looked at Xu Sijie's wide-open phoenix eyes and felt very sad. Maybe we were wrong. Hasn't fifth uncle come back yet? Let's go and ask him when the time comes. He comforted Xu Sijie insincerely.

.

Okay, okay, okay. When Xu Sijie heard this, he showed a smile that was uglier than crying. Please help me find out. You must find out for me. I must be wrong.

He regrets so much

Why did he want to find the woman he had in this life in the first place?

He would rather he was adopted by the Xu family.
