Chapter 588 Brothers’ Complaints
Wang Gungun watched the man's back as he left, raised his fist and scratched it in the air a few times, made a face, and then ran into the house contentedly: "Aunt, my uncle's foot must be fake, he was very bad, it was obviously healed a long time ago, but he still makes you feel distressed when he comes back."
However, when Wanniang heard this, she frowned and said lightly: "GunGun, don't talk nonsense. I just saw your uncle's foot, and it's still swollen!"
"Then you don't understand. He is the most cunning person." Wang Gungun said, shaking his head.
Xiao Yining echoed seriously, "Yes!"
Wang Gungun glanced at her in surprise and continued, "She is the best at playing with people's hearts and loves to lie to them!"
Xiao Yining responded firmly again: "Yes!"
"Believe it or not, he will definitely go out and discuss plotting against someone with his uncles now."
"Correct!"
After a few words, the two little kids looked at each other as if waking up from a dream, and then ran out in a hurry.
Wan Niang:......
When the two kids pushed each other and came out of the study, a burst of sneers could be heard from inside and the atmosphere was subtle.
Pei Yi silently flipped through the book, raised his eyes slightly, looked out the window, and saw two little heads swaying there. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then he lowered his eyes as if it had nothing to do with him.
Wang Lin, who was standing by, poked his injured cheek with the tip of his tongue and stared coldly at the two men in front of him: "You only came back a few days earlier than me, but you have captured the hearts of my parents and sister. You are quite capable."
Wang and Lin looked at each other and both smiled meaningfully.
"I don't understand what my second uncle is saying. Wan Niang and I have been childhood sweethearts. My father-in-law and mother-in-law married Wan Niang to me because we loved each other and were deeply in love. You said that I captured Wan Niang's heart, but it was also true that Wan Niang stole my heart." Lin Yuzan replied calmly.
That affectionate look immediately aroused the disdainful sneers from the two Wang brothers.
Wang Cheng glanced at his old rival mockingly and continued, "Linzi, my brother was born early because of destiny. You can't resent him for being born early. What's more, my brother was born early, which also made you more favored. Think about it, isn't this reasonable?"
Wang Lin was furious when he heard this: "Don't pretend to be confused. You clearly know what I am talking about."
Pei Yi looked at Wang Lin being teased and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Then he noticed a cold gaze coming towards him.
他面不改色地翻着下一页，不紧不慢道：“林子哥，李姨与王叔最是疼我，你可不能吓我，小心挨揍。”
Wang Lin withdrew his gaze from the young man and looked at the two men in front of him again with displeasure: "You two... I can still understand, but why is this guy so close to our family and even says he is my brother."
Wang and Lin sighed helplessly one after another and said in unison: "How could you forget that you rescued him from the hands of the flower boy?"
Wang Lin:......
Since the conversation was not going well, Wang Lin was destined not to get any response. He sat down slowly and stared at the two people in front of him suspiciously, and the two people also looked back at him strangely.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then compromised and said, "I have displeased my parents before, and I don't want to argue with you too much. Since the three of us are all clear about it, there is no need to say more. Let's just live in confusion!"
"Live in confusion?"
Wang Cheng frowned and stared at his second brother sharply: "You have been living in a muddle since you were a child. You never take things to heart. You only care about the present and ignore the future. You are waiting for the whole family to clean up the mess for you."
"You are still like this now. The rumors outside have been spread to your family members. Everyone is ashamed of you, but you still want to live in confusion, do whatever you want, and let it go."
"Why? You have to wait until it becomes a huge disaster, until your parents are completely heartbroken because of you, before you wake up."
"Because I'm sad?"
Wang Lin was furious, and sneered, "Wang Cheng, how dare you blame me? You should have said this to yourself. Now that you have come to your senses, you are lecturing me instead. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Wang Cheng was so shocked by these words that his face instantly turned pale and his eyes were burning with anger, but he was speechless for a moment.
The atmosphere in the study room instantly dropped to freezing point; even the air seemed to be stagnant at this moment.
Lin Yuzan looked at the two brothers who were not upright, shook his head speechlessly, stood up, and prepared to leave the study to the two of them.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped on the ground, the little kid outside shouted in surprise: "I said he was insidious and cunning. Qingjie, look at your father. His foot has been healed for a long time. He just wants to make your aunt feel distressed. He is very evil."
Xiao Yining: →_→, she wanted to eavesdrop, but who would have thought that her eldest uncle and second uncle came to her house specifically to quarrel.
Lin Yuzan: ...
Improper stance +1
Three pairs of eyes fell on Lin Yuzan's injured foot.
There was a cold light in the eyes of the Wang brothers.
Pei Yi laughed teasingly and walked out of the room slowly, "Qing Jie'er, get out of here. I'll take you two to the kitchen to find something to eat."
The two kids who were watching the show were reluctantly dragged away by the young man. Lin Yuzan's calm voice of defense could be heard from behind: "This is just a trick to deceive people, so that the old man won't see that I am so good and use me for nothing again."
Wang Cheng snorted coldly, glanced at him with a smile, but said nothing in the end.
Wang Lin frowned and asked, "Who is this old man?"
The two of them replied in unison with two words, "Your Majesty", and then stopped talking in depression.
Wang Lin also fell silent, and rarely agreed with the title of "old man".
He recalled that the old man not only withheld his petition to stay in Beijing, but also forbade him to reveal even a single word of it to anyone else.
When he went to the palace to plead guilty, rumors were still rife that he was not qualified to plead guilty on behalf of Princess Anping.
He had anticipated the direction of this rumor. How could this old man not know it? It was obvious that he was deliberately trying to make him feel guilty towards Princess Anping.
Their past is over, so why bother to get entangled with each other again?
Thinking of this, Wang Lin felt more and more depressed.
The atmosphere in the study gradually eased due to this interruption.
Wang Cheng finally asked, "We can't just ignore these rumors outside. Do you have a decision in mind?"
Wang Lin sighed in distress and said solemnly: "I will go to the palace and resign from the post of General Zhenbei. I have no ambition to do this anyway. I want to stay with my parents. At worst, I can start over."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang and Lin looked at each other with expressions that showed as expected.
Lin Yuzan said sarcastically, "It's easy for you to think about it. If Princess Anping shaves her head and acquiesces to quell the rumors, what will you do? Since you have decided to have nothing to do with each other in the future, why should you accept her favor?"
Wang Cheng was extremely disappointed. "I told you before, but you never liked to hear it. Even now, you still do what you want and never care about your family."
"Our two families have been criticized because of you. Even Sister Qing left her parents at a young age and had to stay in a girls' school and be careful to flatter others because of your willful behavior."
"If Shunan hadn't grown up with the three of us siblings, he would have already had a grudge against Wanniang and quarreled with her every day because of the shit you did."
"You don't care about your age. You resent your parents for driving you out of the house. You don't even want to send a letter home in the North City. When your father is away on official business, he will go to the army to take a peek to see if you are okay."
"You don't care about the little one. Sister Qing has been living in fear with you since she was very young. Not to mention the past, just think about the day of the palace banquet. You forced her to go back to the girls' school in the middle of the night, causing her to be attacked by the wind and feel uncomfortable all night."
"You don't care about your brothers and sisters, and you only like to act on your own. You never thought about how miserable Wan Niang would be if Qing Jieer got hurt because of you."
"You are unfilial, unfraternal, and disrespectful. Wang Lin, just as you said, everyone is living in a muddle, lightly brushing aside your mistakes and spoiling you into this state. Even if you start a career, you won't make any progress at all."
Listening to his elder brother's criticism, Wang Lin's face turned red, and even his big hands on his knees slowly clenched into fists.
As he spoke, Wang Cheng slowly stood up and stared at him condescendingly, his eyes full of indifference. He took a deep breath and finally said, "You never put your family in your eyes, and I'm also cold-hearted. When we were in North City, you told me not to worry about you, and I don't like to worry about you. So, we can just keep things good in front of our parents."
After saying this, he didn't look at Wang Lin again, and walked straight out of the study without turning his head.
After watching the two brothers quarrel, Lin Yuzan also stood up and said, "Wang Lin, my friendship with you is only because of Wan Niang. If Wan Niang's heart turns cold, then I will also ask you to pay back for all the things you have done to my sister Qing. You know me."
Then, he didn't want to look at this sulking man, so he hooked his injured foot and skipped out of the study.
Wang Lin was left sitting there alone, his eyes slowly turning red.
