Wishful Things

He punched down, and the second uncle was afraid that he would cry.

Wu Jingling coughed lightly—does it have to be so hard? This kid is good at everything, but he is too serious.

"Then... you can vent your anger by scolding Second Uncle, just scold." Wu Jingling changed his words very spinelessly.

"Beating and scolding the elders is against the family rules. The second uncle should ask the grandfather for punishment."

Wu Jingling fainted immediately upon hearing this.

... He still counts on his poor nephew to intercede for him. Isn't he afraid that he won't be able to marry a wife if he is so stern and selfless at a young age?

Wu Chao really didn't mean to intercede for his second uncle.

Of course it's out of the question to be angry, but this kind of lax and unobservant mistake should not be made. If it is made, it is necessary to let the second uncle have a long memory, so as to prevent similar things from happening again in the future.

At present, he has always kept a clear line between public and private.

Of course, if the second uncle in this matter was replaced by Xu Mingyi, then... there would be no need for such a memory. Cough, it's not that he is partial, but that Miss Xu has a clear mind, and she can learn from it without much punishment.

But not everyone in this world is Xu Mingyi.

His second uncle belonged to the category of impunity.

"From today onwards, you don't have to meddle in any family affairs—" Wu Jun looked at his second son with a serious expression.

This is to directly take back the stewardship in the hands of the second son.

Wu Jingling lowered his head and sighed in a low voice: "At the beginning I said that I was not that kind of material, but you just didn't believe me... It should have been left to A Yuan to take care of it long ago."

Wu Jun's face became more and more serious.

Disappointing stuff.

On the other hand, he often dislikes the second son in the old man's family as a blind man. Now in comparison, he thinks that is quite worry-free - at least he will sleep after eating, so as not to cause trouble and cause trouble!

Besides, he is still a master of calligraphy and painting, and his reputation is good, but what about his family?

The only improvement for so many years is nothing more than growing from a dandy to an old dandy!

"The follow-up investigation of this matter will also be handed over to A Yuan. After explaining the matter at hand, you can just reflect in the courtyard."

Wu Jingling also responded.

In this way, after waiting for about half a stick of incense, the uncle and nephew retreated together.

Wu Jingling, who had just been reprimanded by his father, was unavoidably a little downcast at this time.

"A Yuan—"

He sighed, and said: "Your grandfather punished you, that's what you deserve. But if you don't scold the second uncle, the second uncle will really feel guilty and flustered."

"If Second Uncle really feels sorry, then answer me a few questions."

Wu Jingling quickly waved his hands when he heard this.

"Don't think that Second Uncle is unwilling to answer you. It's just that you really asked the wrong person... In the beginning, your Second Uncle and I were just following orders. Everything was arranged by your grandfather. I just do things. As for the inside story, I don't know anything about it."

Wu Chao couldn't help but take another look at his second uncle.

At every critical moment, the second uncle seemed to show vigilance that did not match his own temperament.

Wu Jingling patted his nephew on the shoulder and persuaded him: "Second Uncle knows that you don't always rub sand in your eyes, and you are used to asking the bottom of things... But your grandfather thought he had his own arrangements. He always loves you the most, and it is absolutely impossible for him to hurt you... Relax, you should eat and drink."

As he spoke, he took his nephew's arm again: "Come on, Second Uncle invites you to drink, I'll pay you for it."

As for the place to drink, it is naturally Yingyue Tower.

Wu Chao originally needed to take over the matter of Xianglan, so this trip was inevitable - he didn't intend to end the matter just because the result was clear, and he was most confident in handling all the matters by himself.

"This Pingniang, when she accepted Xianglan, she didn't know the details of the other party. She must be taught a lesson. I will make her unable to get out of bed today..."

The uncle and nephew got off the carriage in front of Yingyue Building, Wu Jingling straightened his long gown and said.

Pingniang is the bustard of Yingyue Tower, she is only about thirty years old this year, and she still has a good charm.

Wu Chao listened to his second uncle's words, and thought about it.

It seems that Second Uncle is going to punish Pingniang severely this time.

However, making people unable to get out of bed?

Could it be that you want to break the opponent's leg?

"Second Uncle can use a different method of punishment. Pingniang needs to come out to receive distinguished guests every day. If she is seriously injured and doesn't show up for a long time, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."

Hearing the serious suggestion from the young man beside him, Wu Jingling couldn't help being stunned.

"..."

After he reacted, Master Wu Er suddenly laughed "hahaha". His stomach hurt from laughing so hard, and his tears flowed out. He said in his mouth, "Ah Yuan, you are just like you, what kind of playboy are you still pretending to be..."

Wu Chao frowned, looking at his second uncle inexplicably.

Wu Jingling couldn't stop laughing when he saw this.

Seeing more and more people looking over, Wu Chao felt that he couldn't afford to lose this person, so he simply left his second uncle who seemed to have some problems in his mind, and went into Yingyue Building alone.

As the sky gradually darkened, the building's Chinese lights came on, and graceful girls danced on the stage in the middle of the hall. The aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of makeup and powder made it lively and charming.

Even though he has been here many times, Wu Chao is still not used to the tangy aroma and turbid atmosphere.

After finishing his business, he didn't stay for a while, and didn't care about his second uncle who was drunk, he came out by himself.

Leaving the lively place behind him, the cold air outside the building rushed towards his face, which only made the young man feel a lot more comfortable and at ease.

He subconsciously looked at the busy street ahead.

That time, just as he walked out of Yingyue Tower, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder——

The moment he turned his head, he felt that everything around him seemed to be still.

She said to him, "Wu Shisun, long time no see".

He was so overjoyed in his heart that he didn't realize it for a while.

Thinking of that scene, a smile appeared in Wu Chao's eyes.

Knowing that she must be in Beijing at this time, his eyes still subconsciously searched the crowd for a moment.

He thought, he should want to see her too much.

He had never wanted to see a person so much in his life.

Just like when he passes Yinxian Building now, he always slows down habitually and looks at the window of the guest room where she used to live, as if the next moment, that window will be pushed open, and then a girl will appear in the window, waving at him with smiles on her eyes.

The window had indeed been opened once before his eyes.

It's just that there is a big man with beards inside the window, maybe the charcoal basin in the room is too full, the big man is naked to the upper body, and he opens the window to breathe.

At that time, he was sitting on the horse, his eyes were facing each other, the big man stared, panicked and embarrassed, and hurriedly covered his chest.

He silently retracted his gaze and drove away.

The young man withdrew his gaze from the crowd and walked out of this lively place.

At this time, a black shadow appeared behind him.

Good night.
