Chapter 275 Brothers are fighting against each other
Yang Ling's jealousy is understandable. He is the legitimate son and has been loved by his parents since childhood. Now he is his father's right-hand man. He secretly bribes ministers for his father and trains troops for his father. He works tirelessly.

But he was actually no match for an illegitimate child, made no contribution to the family, and even dared to turn against his father. He had taken a shortcut just now because he wanted to stand behind his father first and not give Xiao Xia a chance to show up.

But Yang Ling never expected that this bastard could sit among the ministers, while he could only stand behind his father.

Yang Ling felt as if he had been slapped hard in the face. Surprise, anger, jealousy, disappointment, all kinds of negative emotions filled his heart. If killing was allowed now, he would kill Xiao Xia without hesitation.

Xiao Xia ignored him completely. His attention was drawn to Yuan Tiangang who was sitting diagonally opposite him.

Yuan Tiangang is currently serving as the Chief Astrologer, responsible for recording astronomical phenomena, so his life is different from others. He works at night and hardly goes out during the day. This is why Xiao Xia has not met him in the past two years.

Yuan Tiangang had a strange appearance, with an unusually full and broad forehead, and eyes as clear as a mirror, as if without a trace of impurities.

The four treasures of the study were placed in front of him. Yuan Tiangang carefully looked at Yang Guang's face, picked up a pen and wrote a few lines, folded the paper, put it in an envelope, and wrote the words "Prince of Jin" on the envelope.

An attendant handed the envelope to Prince of Jin Yang Guang. Yang Guang took the envelope, smiled and put it in his arms. He was joking. Even if Yuan Tiangang didn't say it, he would never make his fortune-telling results public.

Yuan Tiangang also read the faces of everyone and wrote the verdict, not even leaving out Yang Ling. Finally, his eyes fell on Xiao Xia. After looking at him for a while, he put down his pen and ordered, "Put away the pens and ink!"

The attendant took away the writing brush and ink, and Yuan Tiangang stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I'm leaving now!"

He turned and left. Xiao Xia didn't care about etiquette and got up to follow him. Everyone's mind was on their own judgment and they didn't care about the two's unusual behavior.

Yuan Tiangang walked as fast as the wind, and Xiao Xia could hardly catch up with him. He ran out of the gate, only to see Yuan Tiangang standing outside the gate, obviously waiting for him.

Xiao Xia quickly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Sir, why are you so stingy with me?"

Yuan Tiangang said calmly: "Everyone's fate is predetermined by God, except for you. Your fate is in your own hands, you should know it well!"

Yuan Tiangang turned around and looked at Xiao Xia, "I actually came to see you today."

"Did you disappoint sir?"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head and smiled: "On the contrary!"

Xiao Xia also laughed and asked, "How is my uncle doing recently?"

“He left me a letter before he went to the Western Regions with you last year. He felt that the day of his liberation was approaching, and he would go directly to Kunlun Mountain.

Ten days ago, I received an item from a Sogdian caravan, which was his wine jug and whisk. The Sogdian caravan met Uncle Yuan in Khotan. At that time, he was wearing a white robe and walking and singing in the snow, like a young boy. After handing the two items to the caravan, he turned around, laughed three times, and walked towards the depths of Kunlun Mountain, and soon disappeared. Thousands of people in the Sogdian caravan were shocked and knelt down to see him off.

I just wanted to come see you and give you his wine gourd. He has been stuck in the last step for decades, and without your help, he can't get free."

Xiao Xia felt sad because she would never see Yuan Laodao again.

Yuan Tiangang placed a wine gourd on the ground, turned around and floated away. Xiao Xia asked loudly: "What does liberation mean?"

Yuan Tiangang laughed and said from afar: "Liberation means opening the last shackles in your mind and coexisting with the world from now on."

In a pavilion in the mansion, Cui Mei was persuading her elder sister, "Sister, Yuan Lin has already fallen in love with Master Xiao, and that He Ruoqing is not a good person either. If you don't take the initiative to fight for her, there is really no hope. Yuan Lin is a legitimate daughter, and her front bun is so big, and her back is so plump, no man can resist it."

"What are you talking about?"

Cui Yu blushed and asked, "You are so young, who taught you these?"

"How am I young? I'm already twelve, I understand all this. The key is that if you don't express your love to someone, then they will just get it for nothing."

Cui Yu said after a while: "He can also come to see me!"

Cui Mei said anxiously, "My dear sister! Men always put their careers first. They are not in a hurry until they are in their twenties, but you can't wait! How about... How about! I will go and speak for you."

"do not want!"

Cui Yu quickly shook his head, "Don't go!"

"Then go by yourself!"

Cui Yu bit his lip and said, "Let me think about it!"

"Hey! If you had half the courage of Yuan Lin, you two would have been together long ago!"

Cui Yu's face flushed red as she pinched her sister's cheeks. "You naughty girl, you are losing your bottom line. I will teach you a lesson today!"

"All you know how to do is start a civil war and bully me!"

Xiao Xia returned to the mansion, still thinking about what Yuan Tiangang said. Before he knew it, he came to the tea house and suddenly heard a scream from inside, "Help!"

This was Xiaoqing's voice. Xiao Xia was startled and rushed into the tea room. She saw Yang Ling pressing Xiaoqing on the couch and tearing off her skirt. Xiaoqing struggled desperately, but she was no match for Yang Ling. Her top had been torn off, revealing a large area of ​​her white skin. Yang Ling's eyes were red and his eyes were full of lust.

Xiao Xia was furious. He picked up a stool on the ground and smashed it hard. Yang Ling was caught off guard and was hit hard on the shoulder by the stool. Yang Ling felt pain and turned around to see Xiao Xia rushing towards him with murderous intent on his face.

He was frightened, so he let go of Xiaoqing and jumped towards the rear window. "Bang!" Yang Ling broke open the rear window and rushed out. There was a large bamboo forest behind him, so he went into the forest and ran away.

Xiao Xia did not chase him, but gently helped Xiao Qing up. Xiao Qing cried out "Wow!" and threw herself into Xiao Xia's arms and burst into tears.

Xiao Xia put his arm around her smooth shoulders, comforted her for a moment, then picked up the clothes on the couch and put them on her. Xiao Qing quickly turned her back and tied the torn bellyband string. With a quick glance, Xiao Xia suddenly saw the infinitely beautiful spring scenery from the side. The hills were like bowls, and a red apricot poked out from the pink wall.

Xiao Xia quickly suppressed the intense throbbing in his heart and turned his back.

Unexpectedly, she saw Cui Yu standing at the door with a shocked look on his face. Cui Yu finally plucked up the courage to find Xiao Xia, but she didn't expect to see this scene. She was immediately filled with anger and turned away.

Xiao Xia secretly thought that something was wrong and quickly chased after him. He grabbed Cui Yu's arm outside the courtyard gate and said, "Miss Cui, listen to me!"

"let me go!"

Cui Yu broke free from his hand, turned back and glared at Xiao Xia, "It's broad daylight now, I didn't expect you to..."

Xiao Xia said calmly: "You misunderstood. Someone just wanted to rape Xiaoqing, and I rescued her. If you don't believe me, you can go ask her!"

Cui Yu saw that Xiao Xia was dressed neatly and didn't look like she had done anything bad, so she asked in confusion, "Who is so bad?"

"It's my second brother Yang Ling, he's a beast!"

Cui Yu remembered that it seemed like someone was calling for help just now, but it was only one shout, so she thought she had heard it wrongly.

There was a "rustling" sound in the bamboo forest behind her. Cui Yu was startled. She turned around and saw a young man behind her. He had messy hair, red eyes, and a ferocious appearance, like a wild beast. She was so scared that she quickly leaned towards Xiao Xia.

Xiao Xia pulled her behind him and stared at Yang Ling coldly, "How dare you show up in front of me!"

"You bastard, how dare you ruin my good deeds and steal my woman? Just wait and see, one day I will kill you with my own hands!"

Yang Ling glared at Xiao Xia fiercely, then turned around and walked quickly towards the front yard.

Xiao Xia snorted disdainfully, and then said to Cui Yu: "It's a misfortune for our family, and we have made a fool of ourselves!"

Cui Yu lowered his head in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, I apologize to you!"

Xiao Xia found that she still had the golden needle he had given her in her hair. His heart was moved, and he mustered up the courage to hold her hand. "Miss Cui, I'm sorry for what happened last time. I had agreed to go hunting with you, but I left early."

Cui Yu's face flushed, her heart was filled with shyness and sweetness. She let him hold her hand and whispered, "You have something serious to do! I know everything. You are going to Luoyang to fight against the Maitreya Sect."

"Yeah! Maitreya is crazy. I'll talk to you about it sometime!"

"Yeah! I want to listen!"

At this moment, Cui Mei rushed over and said anxiously: "Sister, why don't you go in? I'm so anxious!"

She suddenly opened her mouth, turned around quickly, and laughed, "I didn't see anything!"

Cui Yu was very embarrassed and quickly broke free from Xiao Xia's hand, turned around and left.

"Wait a minute!"

Xiao Xia quickly took out an emerald from his arms and put it into Cui Yu's hand.

"A gift for you!"

Cui Mei secretly saw it and pouted, "You won't even give me one of those beautiful gems!"

Xiao Xia smiled and said, "Xiao Mei, I will treat you to a meal at noon the day after tomorrow. Bring your sister along, and I will let you pick the best gem!"

Cui Mei clapped her hands happily and said, "Great! Where are we going to eat?"

"It's at Baiyutang, Wencui Restaurant in Pingkangfang. You can come any time at noon!"

Cui Yu looked back at Xiao Xia, his eyes moving, a sweet smile, then he took his sister away.

Xiao Xia watched the sisters go away before returning to the courtyard.
