Chapter 53: The Xiao Family Sisters and Brothers
On the edge of a cliff near the sea in the northwest of Arthur City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A young boy and a butler-like man hid behind a boulder.
The young son-in-law is the cynical son of the Xiao family in the Cui Mansion, and the housekeeper is Cui Hao, the big housekeeper of the Cui Mansion.
Xiao Gongzi, who escaped the catastrophe, had palpitations, and there was no longer that annoying smile on his face, he never dreamed that things would be like this, obviously the task of sending the goods to Nanguan and handing them over to Houjin with Cui Zuyao was about to be completed, but he killed a team halfway and began to slaughter without saying a word, if it weren't for the housekeeper Cui Hao taking the opportunity to pull him on the horse, he would probably have been hacked to death at this time.
"Steward Cui, thank you for saving me just now, Cui Zuyao is finished, you can follow me in the future." The son surnamed Xiao said to the housekeeper Cui Hao, but the housekeeper Cui Hao showed a somewhat hesitant expression, which made him a little unhappy.
"Why, Steward Cui thinks that my Xiao Family Temple is too small to accommodate your big Buddha?" He sneered, a little disappreciative of the housekeeper's reaction, a humble housekeeper, if it weren't for the sake of saving his life, he would definitely not deign to pull such a person, thinking that he was born with a golden soup spoon since he was a child, and there were hundreds of slaves in the family, and he was one of the best merry boys in Suzhou City.
The housekeeper Cui Hao smiled slightly, there was no flattery and gratitude in that smile, and he swept away the previous humility and panic.
"Young Master Xiao asked me to take refuge in your Xiao family, but have you done this?"
The son surnamed Xiao listened to the housekeeper's tone of obviously looking down on him, and was slightly angry in his heart: "Don't worry, Steward Cui, in the Xiao family, I Xiao Sihuang can still call the shots?" ”
The housekeeper Cui laughed when he heard this, and said a little jokingly: "Xiao Gongzi said so, where is Xiao Siqi and Xiao Er's shopkeeper?" ”
Xiao Sihuang was slightly shocked, and suddenly felt that Cui Hao, the big butler who was always humbly bent over and standing on the side, seemed to be a different person at this time, and that kind of breath and confidence made Xiao Sihuang a little dazed and dazed.
"You're not Steward Cui, you... Who are you? The boy surnamed Xiao, who reacted, pointed at the housekeeper Cui Hao in horror and trembled.
"Haha, who am I? I'm the housekeeper Cui Hao! ”
Xiao Sihuang didn't have time to react, he felt that his eyes were dark, a hand knife slashed at his neck, and at the last glance at Cui Hao, the housekeeper with a strange smile, he only had a trace of consciousness and remembered a word that made him shudder: conspiracy!
It's a conspiracy!
……
The groggy Xiao Sihuang was woken up by a heavy slap, he endured the burning pain on his face and opened his eyes, this was a dark and damp room, only the candle on the broken table was burning a faint light, and he was tied with hemp rope and couldn't move.
"Can the eldest prince of the Xiao family be more sober now?"
"Choi... You... You... Who are you? Xiao Sihuang looked in horror at the unpredictable face in the darkness illuminated by the candlelight.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that the only son of Xiao Xuanli, the current head of the dignified Xiao family, and the eldest son of the Xiao family are now in my hands." That face grinned, and deliberately accentuated the word 'concubine', as if he was deliberately mocking Xiao Sihuang.
This seemingly somewhat gloomy face is Cui Hao, the housekeeper of Cui Mansion.
"What do you want to do? Since you know that I am the eldest son of the Xiao family, you don't want to let me go. Xiao Sihuang began to struggle, but the more he struggled, the more painful it became, because the hemp rope that bound him was rough and tight, and the fine skin and tender flesh that he had pampered wore through the skin.
The housekeeper Cui Hao just watched Xiao Sihuang fall to the ground and struggle, like a lamb ready to be sent to the slaughterhouse.
"You let me go, I can give you money, give you a lot of money..."Xiao Sihuang stopped struggling, now he has understood that struggling is meaningless, Cui Hao is by no means as simple as the housekeeper of Cui Mansion, this is a conspiracy, maybe he needs some conditions, killing people and kidnapping tickets is nothing more than asking for money, as the son of Xiao Xuanli, the head of the Xiao family, he has money.
"Money?" seemed to be moved by Xiao Sihuang's words, the housekeeper Cui Hao thought about it slightly, and looked very solemn, as if he was seriously considering the conditions proposed by this 'lamb'.
"Yes, a lot of money, 10,000 taels of silver, no, 50,000 taels, if it's not enough, you can send a letter to Suzhou Xiao Mansion, my mother loves me the most, even if it's 100,000 taels, it's negotiable..."
"But I don't seem to like silver very much." The housekeeper Cui Hao said after thinking about it seriously, and then nodded, as if he affirmed his thoughts again, that kind of behavior was like a naïve child, but Xiao Sihuang clearly felt that it was naked banter, but even so, he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, so he could only continue to beg for mercy and negotiate conditions.
"If you don't like silver, it's okay for a woman, it's okay for a grange, it's okay for a shop—" he threw out all his conditions in an attempt to impress the other party.
Hearing him say this, the housekeeper Cui Hao withdrew his playful expression and looked at him with a gloomy face, his eyes full of pity, ridiculousness, shame, and hatred.
"Although, I would like to say yes to you, but some people won't." The housekeeper Cui Hao squatted down and clamped Xiao Sihuang's chin with his hand, extremely humiliated.
If you still can't figure it out at this time, you will waste his Xiao Dagongzi's IQ, this is really a conspiracy, there is someone behind the housekeeper Cui Hao, and he has fallen into a trap from beginning to end.
"Who is behind you..."Xiao Sihuang asked in a trembling tone.
The housekeeper Cui Hao didn't answer, but a sneer appeared on his face.
A light footstep sounded in this extraordinarily quiet dark room, it turned out that there had always been a person hiding behind the housekeeper Cui Hao and watching him in the shadows, no wonder he was tied to the ground and always felt that someone was staring at him.
"Come out, don't pretend to be a ghost, I'm not afraid of you..."Xiao Sihuang suddenly screamed, but the trembling and detonated voice revealed the fear in his heart.
Butler Cui Hao let go of his chin and silently stepped aside.
"You've never been afraid of me since you were a child, because you've hated me since you were a child, haven't you?" Accompanied by footsteps, a woman's voice came from the darkness, the voice was so calm, calm and confident.
"Haha, it turned out to be you!" Xiao Sihuang was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, with resentment in his laughter.
"I should have thought it was you little slut..."Listening to the familiar woman's voice, he roared, and his voice as sharp as a ghost echoed in the closed and dark secret room, a little creepy.
"Slut?" The woman in the dark walked out slowly, her calm steps and calm voice were more like mocking Xiao Sihuang who was kneeling on the ground.
"If I'm a slut, then what are you? You're right, my good brother. ”
The woman who walked out of the darkness was as beautiful as usual, as if the cold and damp secret room had become a little warm and soft because of her presence, and even the candle flame began to flicker and jump.
Xiao Sihuang looked at the woman in front of him, with resentment and fear in his eyes.
Xiao Siqi looked at the son in front of him, but his eyes were not shocked.
They are all the sons of the Xiao family, she is Xiao Siqi, the eldest lady of Changfang, his cousin, he is Xiao Sihuang, the eldest young master of Changfang, her cousin.
