However, Lin Shuran still asked Xu Mingye to come over, and after Xu Mingye saw Xiao Chen in the hall, he nodded and said in the face of his inquiry: "That's right, I found Wei Xiong last night and saved him!" ”

Lin Shuran stood next to her in surprise, she looked at Xu Mingye, but found that Xu Mingye deliberately avoided her gaze, which made her understand that he must have secretly run out of the house last night, and she felt that she was incompetent as a housewife than blaming Xu Mingye.

Seeing Xu Mingye admit this, Xiao Chen looked at him again and asked, "Second son, can you tell me, how did you find out about Wei Shizi's whereabouts?" Also, how did you find out he was missing? And why did you go after him? ”

Xu Mingye raised his head and looked directly at Xiao Chen, and said: "My seventh brother and Wei Shizi's eldest brother Wei Ying are good friends, he learned from Viscount Wei that Wei Shizi was missing, and begged the seventh brother to help him find it, and the seventh brother came back and told me about it, because he knew that my wolf's nose was much more sensitive than that of a dog, but a wolf only listened to me alone, and my father didn't allow a wolf to go out of the house again, and a wolf would scare people when he went out during the day, so I let a wolf go out at night to find someone, and last night a wolf found the trace of Wei Shizi, Because it hasn't been confirmed yet, I didn't tell anyone, anyway, someone secretly protected me, so I went out with Ah Wolf, and found Wei Shizi in this way. ”

Xiao Chen always stared at Xu Mingye's eyes and his facial expressions when he was talking, and did not show any lying from Xu Mingye's face, but he felt that things were not as simple as he said, so he asked Lin Shuran to find her seventh eldest Xu Minghao.

After a while, Xu Minghao, the seventh elder of the Xu family, also came over, and as soon as Xiao Chen saw him, he asked: "Seventh son, did you tell your second brother Wei Shizi that he didn't see him?" ”

Xu Minghao nodded, he didn't understand what was going on, he looked at Lin Shuran and the others suspiciously, at this time Lin Shuran simply told him the matter, he nodded affirmatively again, and said: "Two days ago, I went to the Viscount's Mansion to find a stupid big man - no, it's Viscount Wei Yingwei to play, I see that he is not in a good mood, and asked him what happened, he said that his mother had just come to see him, and accidentally said the news that his brother Wei Xiong was missing, although his family was not very good to him before, but he still cared about them very much, He cried and begged me to help him find his younger brother, I didn't plan to help, the Wei family was so bad, I knew how to bully Wei Ying, but Wei Ying kept begging me, I saw that he was crying pitifully, so I promised to help him find his younger brother, and when I got home, I told the second brother, because I knew that his wolf was very powerful, and I wanted the wolf to help find someone, but the second brother was disgusted and didn't agree, I didn't expect the second brother to secretly find someone! After speaking, Xu Minghao smiled at Xu Mingye again, and said, "Second brother, you are really righteous, I misunderstood that you were stingy, I didn't expect you to really find someone!" ”

In the face of Xu Minghao's praise, Xu Mingye turned his head in another direction slightly awkwardly, and did not tell the real truth, but everyone thought that this was a sign of embarrassment for him.

Xiao Chen pondered for a while, he looked at Xu Mingye again and asked, "Second Prince Xu, when you saved Wei Shizi, why didn't you send him directly to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion but to the Wei Viscount Mansion?" ”

Xu Mingye said with some disdain on his face: "I sent him to the Viscount's Mansion for the sake of my seventh brother and Viscount Wei's face, last time my eldest brother and I also saved Wei Xiong, but Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis went to the General's Mansion to make a big noise, saying that we hurt her son, do you think I want to save him again, hum!" ”

Xu Minghao also said on the side at this time: "My second brother is right, my mother is still pregnant, Mrs. Dingyuan Hou didn't find out and came to the door to find trouble, if I didn't look at Wei Ying's face, I wouldn't have asked my second brother to help find Wei Xiong, it may not be good to help find someone, otherwise why didn't the Hou Mansion come to thank you, but let the people from the Criminal Department come first, I think this time they are still kind to treat the donkey's liver and lungs, and treat the person who saves people as a villain!" ”

Xiao Chen saw that the two brothers of the Xu family were very angry, and he also roughly understood what happened, he told the two that he did not come under the instructions of the Marquis of Dingyuan, but to find out the truth, and at the same time he also said to Lin Shuran that he wanted to talk to Xu Mingye alone.

Lin Shuran did not refuse, and asked Xu Mingye's opinion, and he also agreed to talk to Xiao Chen alone, and after that, the two of them went to another room.

And after they left, Xu Minghao walked up to Lin Shuran and asked carefully: "Mother, will the second brother be fine?" Am I causing trouble at home again? ”

Lin Shuran looked at him with a smile and said, "No, you didn't do anything wrong to help your friend, and your second brother's intention to help find someone is not wrong, but I'm worried that you will be in danger, before doing anything, it's best to discuss it with the adults in the family first, so that I and your father can deal with it well, and we can better protect you." ”

"Mother, I know!" After speaking, Xu Minghao said a little nervously, "Then mother, don't be angry with your second brother, okay?" The second brother's temperament is like that, he doesn't like to talk to others about anything, don't look at his usual cool face, in fact, he has a good heart, although we have also been in trouble before, but the second brother has never hurt anyone, he always protects us silently, even a wolf doesn't like to bite, every time it bites people is to protect us and the second brother, mother, don't blame him for the second brother who secretly went out to find someone alone last night, okay? ”

Facing Xu Minghao's plea at this time, Lin Shuran smiled lightly and nodded to him, but sighed helplessly in her heart, she was originally very confident that she could teach these children of the Xu family well, but how to teach them well? Is it good to be well-behaved and obedient? Or does it mean that as long as they have three views, kindness, integrity, and bravery, they will be taught well? Or let them take risks, go on adventures, and let them experience the ups and downs of the world by themselves, so that they can be considered good teachers? At this time, she was also confused about this.

The thirteen children of the Xu family have their own characteristics, and it is impossible to teach them according to a unified standard, and they are strictly managed, no, and they are not allowed to be loose, it seems that there is a long way to go to teach children, and she has to cheer up.

In about two quarters of an hour, Xiao Chen and Xu Mingye came out of the room, and then Xiao Chen said goodbye and went back, and Xu Mingye came to Lin Shuran and took the initiative to admit his mistake, saying that he shouldn't have secretly run out alone last night.

Lin Shuran didn't blame him much, just told him about the stakes of the matter and the worries of his family, and also asked about the situation last night in more detail, but Xu Mingye didn't say much about it, he said that Xiao Chen, who had just left, specially told him not to tell others what he encountered last night before the matter was completely revealed.
