Chapter 284: No distinction between superior and inferior
The maid went forward and opened the door. When the old lady entered, she saw Si Chengren lying on the ground and Si Wei Zhong holding a ruler. The corners of her mouth rose slightly unconsciously, but soon calmed down.
Si Wei Zhong, who was furious, had regained some of his rationality at this time. Looking at Si Chengren, who was beaten black and blue and did not dare to fight back, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
He casually threw the ruler in his hand to the ground and bowed respectfully to the old lady: "Mother, why are you here?"
"If I don't come to the Marquis' Mansion, someone will die." The old lady said this casually, but there was no concern in her tone.
"No, mother, I know my limits."
"What did Chengren do wrong? How could you be so harsh on him?" The maid took the only intact stool in the room and placed it next to the old lady, gently wiping off the non-existent dust on it.
The old lady then sat down naturally with graceful movements, which showed the style of a mistress of the house. Si Wei Zhong looked at these normal little things with a dark light flashing in his eyes.
Why is he the son born to a concubine? If he was born to the old lady in front of him, he would be the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion and the next Marquis by right, instead of being a bastard in the eyes of others.
Once again lamenting the unfairness of fate. He thought he was better than Si Zhenglin in every way, except for one thing: his identity. His situation was completely different from his.
He was really unwilling to accept this. Since his status was not as good as Si Zhenglin, he had to surpass him in other areas. Fortunately, he could make a lot of money in business.
He couldn't compare to him in terms of status, but he was richer than the marquis of this mansion, which finally satisfied his determination to compete with Si Zhenglin.
"He gambled in a gambling house and owed them a lot of money. Now he is asked to collect the debt. He did such a thing that brought disgrace to our mansion. Naturally, I will not let him off easily." Si Wei Zhong said with great righteousness, as if he was thinking completely about the mansion.
"Even so, you shouldn't be so harsh." The old lady's voice was gentle and generous, with a hint of reproach in it.
The old lady didn't show it on her face, but she was very happy in her heart. Si Wei Zhong thought that she didn't know why Si Chengren was beaten, so she found this excuse to fool her.
He felt that Xiaoxiao was more and more capable, so he asked the maid to deliver the news to her later so that Xiaoxiao could be happy too.
"My son knows he was wrong. He was just impulsive just now." Si Wei Zhong lowered his head, without any trace of the ferocious look he had just now.
"That's good. Let the doctor check Chengren's injuries. You beat the child so hard." The old lady gave a few instructions softly and then got up and left.
Si Wei Zhong then looked at his son on the ground. In his rage just now, he not only used a ruler on him, but also punched and kicked him. At this moment, Si Chengren's appearance could be said to be comparable to Si Chengyi.
If the two of them stood together, they were really evenly matched. A trace of heartache flashed across his eyes, but he quickly thought of the money he had lent to Li Xiaoxiao, and then it was replaced by anger.
"Someone, go get the doctor." Si Wei Zhong shouted to the outside and then left.
Si Chengren was left lying on the ground, wailing in pain. This was the first time in his life that he was beaten so badly, and it was his father who beat him.
You don't need to look at him to know that he must have a bruised face and nose, and swelling in the corners of his eyes. He can hardly open one eye, and the other one is slightly better, but only a little bit.
When Wang Qiuhe arrived, the servant had already carried Si Chengren to the bed. Si Wei Zhong was nowhere to be seen, and the doctor was taking his pulse.
"My son, how do you feel now?" Wang Qiuhe knelt in the old lady's yard for so long, just waiting for the old lady to go back, and then came to Si Chengren as quickly as possible.
After returning to Yangxinxuan, the old lady ordered the maid to tell her what happened in the marquis's mansion.
Upon hearing the news, Li Xiaoxiao smiled brightly. These two brothers really lived up to his expectations. If they were here, he would just want to praise them for a job well done.
Just as he was smiling, Si Chengxu came. Ever since he knew that he liked Li Xiaoxiao, he had an inexplicable fear in his heart. He was afraid that Li Xiaoxiao would see through his thoughts, so he had been deliberately avoiding her recently.
They have known each other for so long, but have never thought about the love between children. After being suddenly reminded by Si Er, Si Chengxu was expectant but also a little timid.
He was afraid that Li Xiaoxiao didn't like him, so he kept his distance from him. There was also Gu Feiyan. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but after hearing what Si Er said, he felt that Gu Feiyan seemed to like Li Xiaoxiao as well.
Otherwise, how could he, a dignified minister of the palace, have the time to take the initiative to teach Li Xiaoxiao's younger brother how to play chess? His intentions are sinister. I wonder if Li Xiaoxiao can see through it?
It can be seen that Li Xiaoxiao and Gu Feiyan are just ordinary friends, but they are friends now, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future, what if Gu Feiyan starts with Li Huawen.
Then he used Li Huawen to win his sister's heart. Then as time went on, with the help of Li Huawen, what should he do if Li Xiaoxiao fell in love with him?
Whenever he thought of this possibility, Si Chengxu became anxious and angry, but it was not easy to tell others about this kind of thing. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with an idea. You, Gu Feiyan, teach chess, and I will teach martial arts.
Every other day, Li Huawen would go to Gu Feiyan to learn how to play chess or teach him some knowledge. Although Li Huawen was born in a farming family, he was very serious about his studies and had a smart mind, and he would often receive praise from Gu Feiyan.
Gu Feiyan would occasionally ask about some matters in their family, and Li Huawen would tell him everything. Li Huawen also liked the teacher that his second sister had found for him. The teacher was very good to him, very good, and did not have the airs of a teacher at all.
Studying is not like reading non-stop like in school, but a combination of work and rest, giving the brain appropriate rest space. He feels that he learns faster this way.
Gu Feiyan was very satisfied with this new student. He was quiet, obedient, and eager to learn. Sometimes he understood the knowledge taught immediately and could even apply it to other situations. If he continued at this pace, he would definitely be on the list when he took the scientific examination.
It was much easier for Si Chengxu to teach Li Huawen since they lived in the same yard. Li Huawen got up early every morning. When they were still in Qinghe Village, he would get up every day and run with his sister.
Later, he went to the town school and delayed this matter. Since moving in, he resumed his daily running, and added another exercise besides running, which is practicing martial arts with Si Chengxu after running.
Practicing martial arts is much more difficult than running. At the beginning, Li Huawen found it a little overwhelming, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. After practicing for these days, he really felt a lot more relaxed.
"What's the matter? You're laughing so happily."
