Chapter 653: Wolf and Coward, ????????????)?
Xiao Yining's brain froze for a moment, and he looked at the person in front of him in astonishment. The face covered with dirt was actually the nephew that Cui Zhiyao had been thinking about day and night - Shangguan Wenyuan!
After not seeing him for several months, his originally round face had become unusually thin, with prominent cheekbones and a pointed chin. His eyes, which should have been full of childishness and peace, were now intertwined with sinisterness and hatred, making it hard to believe that they were a pair of eyes of a ten-year-old boy.
Shangguan Wenyuan's eyes passed over the little kid indifferently, and then fixed on Yu Ke. He suddenly became fierce and growled, "Give me back my clothes!"
Xiao Yining: (@_@), it turns out he still has clothes!
The little kid looked at Yu Ke in confusion, only to see the sister sneer: "I threw your tattered clothes on the side of the road a long time ago."
Shangguan Wenyuan immediately became furious: "You...you shameless woman, you took off my clothes and threw them away."
"If you don't want to change the skirt I gave you, then don't even think about wearing your own clothes. They are so dirty that I'm afraid they will dirty the princess's sister's carriage." Yu Ke fought back without showing any weakness.
Shangguan Wenyuan angrily retorted: "Why should I wear your skirt?"
"Then just be naked. If you can't bear to part with those tattered clothes, you can pick them up outside the city. I won't stop you. But... do you dare to go?" Yu Ke sneered contemptuously.
Xiao Yining: Σ(っ °Д °;)っ, Yu Ke is also a domineering little girl!
The little boy's eyes moved back and forth as the two people were arguing with each other, and he was stunned.
At this time, Shangguan Wenyuan had already come out of the secret compartment, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes full of anger, staring at Yu Ke, as if he was going to beat her up the next moment.
Seeing this, Xiao Yining immediately pulled herself out of her spectator state, stood firmly in front of the little girl, put her hands on her hips and asked, "Brother Wenyuan, why don't you wear a skirt? You're not a man."
Shangguan Wenyuan: ...
The carriage was silent for a moment, and then Shangguan Wenyuan roared in self-affirmation: "Why am I not a man?"
After hearing this, the little kid became even more righteous and unreasonable: "Then prove it to me and Sister Yu Ke!"
Yu Ke also crossed his arms and looked at the boy jokingly, "If you can prove that you are a man, I will have someone pick up your tattered clothes and give you a hundred taels of silver as an apology."
Shangguan Wenyuan's face turned blue and red due to the anger of the two men.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became tense.
Just at this moment, the curtain in front of the car was suddenly lifted, revealing Pei Yi's angry face.
He threw a set of clothes into the carriage, looked at the two little girls, and said unhappily, "Why don't you come out?"
The two little ones' momentum immediately subsided, and they both showed expressions of aggrieved.
Little Yining ran to his fellow villager and complained, "Uncle, Brother Wenyuan is so bad. Sister Yu Ke saved him, but he still scolded Sister Yu Ke."
"If Father Lin hadn't told my father that he would take him into the city, I wouldn't have saved him given his temper! He even spent money to avoid being searched by the soldiers. His kindness was really wasted."
Yu Ke was also angrily glared at the people in the car, then slowly got out of the car.
Xiao Yining added: "You are so heartless. Sister Cui was almost arrested in order to help you escape."
Pei Yi took the two resentful little girls out of the car, glanced at the people in the car indifferently, and warned them in a cold voice: "Put on your clothes and don't cause trouble for others."
Shangguan Wenyuan's face had already turned red with each accusation, but after hearing that Cui Zhiyao was in trouble, the color suddenly faded, and he asked anxiously, "What happened to Yaoyao?"
However, the only response he got was the carriage curtains being closed again and the laughter outside.
"Sister Yu Ke, where did you meet Brother Wenyuan?" Little Yining was still surprised and couldn't believe that Shangguan Wenyuan would appear in her home so beautifully.
Yu Ke stared at the slightly swaying curtain, pursed her lips, and patiently explained: "A few days ago, Sister Cui said that her uncle had an accident, nor did she say where her nephew was. I had never seen this person, so I asked Sister Yan Ke to draw a portrait for me, so that the merchants near Yanjing could recognize his face."
"Who would have thought that when I returned home yesterday, I received a letter from my father saying that he would pick up this person outside the city gate. So I asked a few outlaws supported by my family to go out and look for him with the portrait. Then, after leaving the city today and meeting up with my father, we hid this person in a carriage and brought him into the city."
Little Yining blinked his big eyes in thought, and after listening to the words, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This is what is called the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
She looked up at the "yellow bird" and added: If Cui Zhiyao knew that her classmates were doing their best to help her, she would be so moved that her eyes would be filled with tears.
At this time, the little sister bent down and whispered to her, "If it wasn't for Father Lin saying that he would take him to the capital, I would have ordered people to tie him up and send him to a faraway place. As the saying goes, if you have green mountains, you will never run out of firewood. Don't you agree, Princess Sister?"
Xiao Yining: ...
"Sister Yu Ke is right."
After saying that, the two kids looked at each other and grinned as if no one was around.
At the same time, the Lin family courtyard also became lively. Except for Li Anhe and his wife, everyone who heard the noise gathered together.
Shangguan Wenyuan put on his clothes hastily and lifted the carriage curtain. He saw the children in the yard chattering and chatting happily, while the adults were standing by in twos and threes, whispering to each other, their eyes casually falling on the children and finally converging on his face with scrutiny and inquiry.
The young man was dazed for a moment, and felt as if he was in another world.
Wan Niang was the first to be shocked by his skinny appearance. She covered her mouth and exclaimed in disbelief: "Isn't this Doctor Shangguan's grandson? How could he become like this? Come here quickly, kid, so I can take a closer look."
"Cousin, this man's temper has changed drastically. He is no longer the Shangguan Wenyuan he used to be. You'd better not let him get close to you, lest he... you won't be able to resist beating him." Pei Yi kindly reminded.
"Mom, you will definitely beat him. He has become an ungrateful person and doesn't know how to be grateful." Little Yining also nodded vigorously in agreement.
Wan Niang:......
Lin Yuzan glanced at them indifferently and said, "It is human nature to be wary of the people and things around you when something unexpected happens to your family. Second uncle, take him to wash himself. I want to take him to see the emperor tonight. The old man doesn't like dirt."
Wang Lin immediately retorted unhappily: "Why should I take him to wash?"
This remark also brought Shangguan Wenyuan back to his senses. He suddenly jumped out of the car and ran away in full view of everyone.
Everyone:...
Upon seeing this, Wang Lin immediately chased after him without saying a word, caught the young man effortlessly, and brought him back like a chicken.
Shangguan Wenyuan kicked wildly in the air, tugging at Wang Lin’s hand with his claws and teeth, trying to break free, and kept shouting: “You bad guys, let me go! Don’t even think about using me to threaten my grandfather!”
This sudden change caught everyone off guard and they all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lin Yuzan frowned slightly and looked at his old rival. Both of them had a meaningful sneer on their lips, and a look of "as expected" in their eyes.
Wang Cheng looked at the emotionally excited and almost violent young man, and gently advised: "The emperor is not willing to do such a thing, but if you are unwilling to see the emperor, then you will not even have the chance to see your grandfather for the last time."
Shangguan Wenyuan gradually calmed down and glared at everyone present. But after just a moment, his anger erupted again and he roared unwillingly.
Yu Ke had long been annoyed by this person's noise. Although he didn't know what the situation was, he couldn't help but warn him, "Why are you making noise? Don't forget that you still owe me three hundred taels of bribe money. If the thieves are attracted and they capture you again, I will ask Sister Cui for the money."
Shangguan Wenyuan instantly stopped talking and glared at her: "How dare you!"
Little Yining and Yu Ke stood together. They raised their heads fearlessly and added fuel to the fire in a childish voice: "Sister Cui will definitely pay back the money! She always admits her debts."
The threat from the two little ones was quite effective. Shangguan Wenyuan seemed to be pinched at his soft spot and completely fell silent. He only struggled a few times from time to time to vent his dissatisfaction.
The elders present all glanced at the two little ones at the same time, and then tacitly raised their doting yet helpless smiles.
