Chapter 46: Regain Fighting Spirit (1)
Xiang Shuya is a thin-skinned girl.
Before Bei Lihong appeared, she could still talk to her brother and sister-in-law.
As his footsteps got closer and closer, she actually had the urge to run away.
Bei Lihong's steps were very fast, and he came to several people in a short time.
Xiao Bi leaned on the back of her chair and looked him over, tut-tutting: "I've been treating each other with admiration for three days. I almost didn't recognize Xiao Bei. No wonder..."
She looked at Xiang Shuya with a smile.
This girl's face is almost ripe, but she still won't make jokes that are too outrageous.
Bei Lihong took a piece of cut fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Xiaojiu, why have you changed so much after not seeing you for two years?"
"Showing off your good eyes or something?" Xiao Bi said lazily.
Bei Lihong hurriedly swallowed the fruit in his mouth and sat on the armrest of the chair: "Don't you like to compete with me the most? Why don't you compete today?"
Xiao Bi chuckled and said, "You think I'm stupid. Of course I only compete when I can't compete. If I can't compete, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"
Bei’s mother patted her son hard on the leg: “You are so old and you are not yet in shape!”
"I knew my mother was partial to Xiaojiu." Bei Lihong slid down and sat firmly on the chair.
Mother Bei asked again: "Why did you come back so early today?"
"I heard from the Duke that Xiaojiu and the others would be able to return to the county today, so I followed him back half an hour early."
Huan Yu smiled at Xiao Bi and said, "It's definitely not us that Xiaobei wants to see, otherwise he would have followed his father directly back home."
Bei Lihong pointed at him and said: "Brother Huan, when did you get led astray by Xiao Jiu?!"
Xiao Bi kicked him: "What are you talking about? I've never been bad, okay?
It's you, sister Shuya, who has been waiting for you for several hours, but you haven't even said a word to me, it's so outrageous!"
Xiang Shuya's face turned even redder: "Auntie, I'm going to the kitchen to see how the food is being prepared."
Mother Bei smiled and said: "They are talkative people who will bully honest people. Auntie, I will go with you."
Xiaojiu likes to eat my cooking the most, so I want to show you my cooking skills tonight."
After the two left, Bei Lihong said: "Why don't you two bring your three little nephews to me to see?"
Xiao Bi said: "We are here to drink with you. It is inconvenient to bring children."
Bei Lihong clasped his hands together and said: "My Lord Nine, you have regained your former self. You don't compete with each other, you don't compete with others, and you don't inquire about the cavalry.
If you don’t even drink, I’ll really think you’ve changed your ways and become a new person!”
Xiao Bi twitched her lips: "I heard from my grandfather that the cavalry team practiced very well. Thank you very much!"
Bei Lihong rubbed his arms exaggeratedly: "I say Master Jiu, why don't you scold me a few times and feel better.
Have a few jars of wine later and I’ll make sure you feel comfortable all over!”
Huan Yu looked at Xiao Bi with some worry.
Ever since she learned the truth about her mother-in-law's murder, Xiaojiu has always felt wrong.
Although she still likes to joke with others and cares about her family and friends as always, she seems to have lost a vitality, she has no interest in anything, and she has no fighting spirit at all.
He has been trying to unlock her, but he has never been able to achieve the desired results.
Although Xiao Bei is only the son of her wet nurse, the two of them are like twin brothers and sisters. If they have a good chat, Xiao Jiu may be able to open up his heart and regain his fighting spirit.
The food was delicious and the wine was fragrant. Xiao Bi and Bei Lihong drank from the side hall to the roof.
Bei's mother was not surprised, Huan Yu didn't stop her, only Xiang Shuya was very worried.
"Aunt, second brother, what if they fall down when they are drunk?"
Mother Bei smiled and said: "They both have a good drinking capacity. They can't get drunk after drinking so much. Let's go back to the room with my aunt to rest. We will go back to the house to see the children early tomorrow morning."
Huan Yu also said: "Listen to mother and go to bed first. I'm here and I won't let them fall anyway."
Compared with Bei's mother's words, Huan Yu's assurance is more convincing.
"Okay, then I will go and rest with my aunt." Xiang Shuya blessed herself and left with Bei's mother.
Huan Yu jumped up to the big tree and found a comfortable position to lie down.
In Xiao Bi's impression, she had never been really drunk.
But I don’t know what happened today. I didn’t even finish the bottle of wine, but I felt a little dizzy.
She threw the wine jar carelessly and lay down with her head in her hands.
The sky was filled with twinkling stars, complementing her dazzling eyes.
Bei Lihong held his knees with his hands and turned his head to look at her: "Xiaojiu, did you encounter anything when you returned to Beijing this time?"
Xiao Bi said: "Xiao Bei, I know the cause of my mother's death."
Bei Lihong pursed his lips: "Xiaojiu, that is your father after all..."
Xiao Bi's lips curved: "What are you thinking about? Although this matter has something to do with him, there is someone else who killed my mother."
"Who is it?" Bei Lihong asked.
"Your Majesty, in the chaos, he pulled his mother to block an arrow for him..."
"Despicable!" Bei Lihong almost smashed the tiles with one punch.
"Aunt Xiao is pregnant with Liujia, how can he bear it..."
"Whether he did it intentionally or not, my mother was harmed by him.
He is a minister of the Jun Xiao family. Even if he knows the truth of the matter, who can really ask him to pay for his mother's life?
The most disgusting thing is that he knew clearly that he was the murderer of his mother, but he still insisted on marrying his eldest sister and gave birth to three children.
Xiaobei, you should be able to imagine how sad my eldest sister is."
"How do you plan to deal with this matter?"
"He is not only the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, but also the father of Xiao Luoluo and the others. I can't do anything, so I can only choose to stay away."
Bei Lihong raised his eyes and looked at the starry sky, and finally understood the reason why Xiao Bi had changed so much.
With her identity and martial arts, it is not difficult to take the life of His Majesty the Emperor with her own hands.
With the power of the Xiao Huan family, it is possible to change the dynasty.
But who wants to become sworn enemies with their biological nephew?
So Xiaojiu had to let His Majesty the Emperor go.
Xiao Bi laughed at herself: "Xiao Bei, do you think I am a fool for thinking that I will sacrifice my life for someone after being betrayed?
Who doesn't like to live a comfortable and comfortable life? But I don't care about living a good life and practice martial arts as hard as if I risk my life.
Until I knew the truth, I was still thinking about protecting him and my eldest sister, protecting the country of Wei without losing an inch of territory, and protecting the people of Wei from being poisoned by the enemy.
Now that I think about it, I might as well have been a powerless noblewoman from the beginning, so why should I have to consider any ideals and ambitions?"
The more Bei Lihong listened, the more uncomfortable he became.
He let go of his hand, stretched out his leg and kicked Xiao Bi's boots.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are practicing martial arts because you like it. What does it have to do with him? He is not worthy of your protection. There are also the Queen and His Royal Highness.
