Chapter 20: Ezio, Danger
The next trip to the exhibition hall did not need Claudia to accompany her, Lu Xiao first sent the girl with some complicated feelings home, and used the "empty and most convenient" route to reach the destination.
When Lu Xiao returned to the Auditore mansion, Ezio and Federico, who didn't know where they had gone, had already arrived home.
The two brothers were discussing something with Claudia, and Petruccio was standing by as usual, smiling and watching the siblings fight.
"Hey! Lu, come here! ”
Seeing Lu Xiao returning, Ezio waved hello to him with a warm smile for the first time.
Lu Xiao observed the expressions of Claudia, Federico and the others, and quickly guessed the topic they were discussing.
Sure enough, Lu Xiao had just walked near the siblings, and Ezio first smiled evilly and wrapped his arms around his neck and asked, "How is it?" What does it feel like to kick Vieri's vital kick? Will it be possible to sterilize him for life? ”
Claudia protested with some dissatisfaction: "Ezio! ”
"Yes yes~"
Ezio smiled and raised his hands in surrender, "I will pay attention to my words, so that our glacial lady sister does not hear too many foul language." ”
"Hey!"
Cheerful laughter echoed in the Auditore mansion, and Lu Xiao couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
Although the personalities are different, the relationship between the members of the Auditore family is indeed very deep, and there is no sign of the descendants of the big family vying for power and profit in Lu Xiao's impression.
This is probably the credit of Giovanni and Maria's careful teaching. ’
The fiery conflict with Vieri greatly eased Ezio's sense of confrontation and competition against Lu Xiao, and the triumphant Ezio even said his latest "results" against the Pache family on the spot.
"Vieri's boy was probably because Viola was too 'close' to me, and deliberately ambushed near the mansion with a tooth for a tooth, and that idiot definitely didn't expect to hit the iron plate with an egg like this."
Viola de Pacci, Vieri's younger sister, is known as the jewel of the Pache family, and like Claudia, she is already engaged to other families......
"Huh?"
The laughter suddenly stopped, and Federico wordlessly pointed his finger at Ezio: "It turns out that the source of today's incident is you." ”
Ezio felt the strange atmosphere around him, and spread his hands innocently: "What's wrong?" This is not my initiative, it was Viola who posted it herself, as a Florentine gentleman, I can't push her away with a cold attitude. ”
"Ahem~"
A light cough from behind him made Ezio's whole body tremble, and he turned his head with a stiff expression, and the serious-looking couple Giovanni and Maria stood not far behind him.
Giovanni's gaze flickered slightly, as if he was conveying something to the four children with his eyes.
Maria had a cold light in her eyes, and her face was cold and glared at her second son, who was unabashed: "Ezio, come with me, it seems that I need to teach you how to respect women again." ”
"Uh~" Ezio took two steps back with a weak heart: "I don't need this, I think my respect for women has ......"
"Shut up! Come along! ”
Feeling the hard-line attitude of Maria's explanation of uselessness, Ezio's shoulders completely collapsed, and he was weak to respond: "Yes......"
The others present watched with pity as Ezio grinned as he was dragged away by Maria's ears.
Giovanni smiled wryly and sighed, "Ezio hasn't even figured out the real reason for Maria's anger, it's really time to educate her." ”
Maria was not angry about Ezio's fashion, Giovanni was no better than Ezio when he was younger, and he was not yet well behaved by Maria.
Maria's resentment with Ezio stems from his recklessness without considering the consequences.
Claudia was attacked by Vieri today, and Ezio was at least half responsible.
The members of the Auditore family cherish their family very much, and Ezio's unplanned behavior to harm his family is absolutely unacceptable to Maria.
Giovanni clapped his hands to attract the attention of the four people present: "Okay, leave Ezio alone, Maria will teach him well." ”
"Lu, thanks to your protection, Claudia is safe and sound."
Giovanni bowed to Lu Xiao very solemnly and thanked him: "Please accept my gratitude as a father." ”
Lu Xiao hurriedly made a gesture of support to Giovanni: "Mr. Giovanni, you are serious. ”
"Ever since I came to Italy, the Auditore family has always taken great care of me, and the Oriental culture is very polite, so it is only natural to help Claudia under the circumstances."
Giovanni raised his hand to stop Lu Xiao's explanation: "Don't worry, listen to me." ”
"Although the influence of the Pache family in Florence is not as strong as that of the Medici family, with the help of certain forces, their power is really not weak."
"You have made Vieri experience a very humiliating trauma this time, even if there will be no sequelae as you said, with the Pache family's lineage, I am afraid that your life in Florence will not be easy in the future."
Considering the presence of Claudia and Petruccio, Giovanni didn't make his words too clear, but it was enough for Federico and Lu Xiao, who knew the inside story, to understand what he really meant.
Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders freely: "I guessed this before I made a move, and even if I don't provoke the Patch family in my personal name, in the eyes of 'those people', I will also be the target that needs to be excluded sooner or later, right?" ”
Giovanni was stunned for a moment, and then laughed in a low voice: "That's right, the conflict between the Pache family and us can't be solved by taking the initiative to back down. ”
"But you'd better be vigilant in the near future, as neither Vieri nor Francesco are patient people."
"Vieri suffered such a big loss this time, and Francesco was mercilessly scolded by Lorenzo, and they will definitely find a way to get back to the field as soon as possible."
Lu Xiao nodded: "I know, I will be as low-key as possible recently." ”
……
"Ahhhh I don't care about you! ”
In the heart of Florence, the lavish Pache Mansion reverberates in the night sky.
A man in black wearing a bird's beak mask was kicked away by Vieri, who was lying on the bed for examination, and under the unbearable pain, Vieri subconsciously curled up again in a ball.
Due to the Black Death in the 14th century, most European doctors of this era were very well protected, with beak masks and completely covered black robes as standard.
Francesco saw his son's miserable appearance, and his teeth clenched as he tried to suppress his anger.
"Doctor, how is my son? His injuries won't affect his life later on, right? ”
The kicked doctor got up from the ground in embarrassment, and replied angrily to Francesco, who asked the question: "It's not a big problem, just use some painkillers." ”
"As long as this period of pain passes, your son's future life will not be affected in any way, and he will ...... The person who comes out is very measured. ”
Francesco breathed a long sigh of relief, and changed to a fake and pleasant expression and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, doctor...... Someone came, sent the doctor away, and offered a generous honorarium. ”
"Yes!"
After the doctor was sent away, Vieri, who had taken painkillers, finally got some relief, revealing her tearful face.
"Father, I must be ten times more humiliated this time...... No, a hundredfold return! ”
Francesco, who was cold by nature, cared not for Vieri himself, but for the future leadership of the Pache family because of Vieri's death.
Francesco's face grimaced and agreed: "Don't worry, if you dare to attack the heir of the Patch family so unscrupulously, I will definitely make Auditore pay the price." ”
"But now is not the time, bear with it for a while, as long as the time predicted by the master comes......"
The corners of Francesco's mouth hooked a cruel smile: "Not only the lackeys of the Auditore family, but also the Medici family, who stole the rule of Florence, will also be wiped out, and the great Pache family will rise again with the help of the Knights!" ”
