Chapter 283 Mission 026

Xiao Yu returned to the capital with General Li. He had just returned before being summoned by the emperor, so he went back to Amber Mansion first.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of Amber Mansion, he saw Father Chen staring at him with a cold face and a ruler in his hand.

The ruler in Chen's father's hand was used to spank his son when he was naughty when he was a child. The meaning of taking it out now is self-evident.

Seeing the ruler in his father's hand, Chen Shaohua's expression suddenly changed. He jumped up and ran away. However, when he turned around, he found that the door had been firmly closed.

Xiao Yu turned around and looked at Chen's father, and said with a smile: "Dad, why did you bring out the ruler? Is it because my second brother made a mistake that made you angry? If you have something to say, you can't hit your child casually when you are angry. That's not right. Are you hurting my second brother’s fragile heart? It’s so embarrassing for such a big man to be spanked by you!”

Father Chen looked at this brat and kept trying to persuade him not to hit his brother. In fact, he was pleading for mercy for himself.

Father Chen smiled and put the hand holding the ruler behind his back: "Okay, if you don't want to be beaten, I won't be beaten. Come, Shaohua, tell dad how you were doing outside."

Seeing that Father Chen didn't seem so angry, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but still said very vigilantly: "It's quite fun to eat, drink and have fun... Actually, there's nothing interesting, but the scenery is quite beautiful, better than the scenery in the capital that I'm tired of seeing." …”

Father Chen suddenly raised his ruler and was about to pull it out: "You little bastard! The scenery is beautiful, isn't it? The scenery in the desert is prettier than in the capital, right?!"

Xiao Yu turned around and ran away alertly, running around the road to the yard where Chen's grandparents lived: "Grandpa and grandma, help me! Dad is going to beat me to death!"

No one dared to stop him when he rushed into the yard where Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen retired. He ran smoothly into the main room. As soon as he entered, he saw his cheap brother, the male protagonist, Chen Shaojun, greeting the old man and his wife.

Xiao Yu ran over and greeted Chen Shaojun with a smile: "My second brother is here too!"

Mr. Chen said with a serious face: "You kid, you're already twenty and you're still not in shape. Why did you provoke your father again when you just came back?"

Xiao Yu was not afraid at all. The old man had a serious face and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you have wronged me. My grandson just came back today and my father is going to whip me. How do I know why he wants to whip me? Isn't that right? Is it because my grandson hasn’t been back for so long that dad misses the feeling of spanking me?”

The two elders were amused by his words. Mrs. Chen held Xiao Yu's hand and said, "My eldest grandson has just come back. Can't you, old man, say something nice?" She turned to Xiao Yu and said, "Your father Where did grandma say he should go? Does that brat dare to lay a finger on my eldest grandson? "

Xiao Yu squatted down next to the old lady. She was not ashamed to think that she was tall and cuddled up to her grandma and acted coquettishly: "I know grandma loves me the most! Grandma must stop daddy later!"

Old Mrs. Chen nodded with a smile, touched her eldest grandson's handsome face, and said that he had lost weight and looked dark, and she felt very distressed.

Chen Shaojun on the side watched this scene in silence. He felt that these three were biological grandparents, but he, the same direct grandson, seemed to be superfluous. He clenched his hands tightly into fists in his sleeves and looked at Chen Shaohua expressionlessly.

Why? Why do you want to come back?

Obviously you are inferior to me in everything, I am smarter than you and obedient and sensible than you. Why do you completely lose my status in the whole house as soon as you come back?

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

After a while, Father Chen came over as if nothing was wrong. Of course, he no longer had a ruler in his hand.

Chen Shaojun, who had been standing aside with a low sense of presence, saluted and said: "Father..."

Father Chen responded with a smile, then turned to glare at Shi Shiran's eldest son, who was sitting beside him and winking at him.

Of course he knew how much the two elders in the family doted on Shaohua, his eldest grandson. If he didn't tell the story about Shaohua running into the desert to detect the enemy, the two elders would definitely not side with him. But if he said it, he would be worried that the two elders, who are quite young, would be worried.

So in the end, Father Chen had no choice but to suppress the thought of teaching his unfilial son a lesson, and sat in front of the two elders and quietly glared at his son, pretending as if nothing happened. When his old mother asked about it, he said calmly: "I'm just angry that this kid came back after studying abroad for so long to scare him."

Regarding the fact that Xiao Yu had not returned home for nearly two years, the two elders were also angry. Not only did they not help him, they also helped Chen's father teach him a lesson.

Chen Shaojun stood aside and looked at his eldest brother who was being taught to be inattentive. Not only was he not happy at all, but he was even more depressed.

When Chen's father scolded Chen Shaohua, he suddenly stood up and begged: "Grandpa, grandmother, father, eldest brother, he has always been very playful. If you trap him in the house, eldest brother will not be happy either. It's better to let nature take its course. If my eldest brother hadn't been away from home all year round, I would have wanted to go out and see the world..."

This was said beautifully, and it seemed that he was pleading for Chen Shaohua. In fact, what he kept saying was how Chen Shaohua was so playful when he was away from home, and how he himself understood the righteousness and was filial at home...

Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen and Father Chen, who are not human beings, generally couldn't hear the point about the eye drops, so they just acted indifferently, but felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

In fact, Chen Shaojun thought that the two elders of the Chen family and Chen's father only regarded Chen Shaohua as a treasure and completely ignored him. It was his own illusion. The elders of the Chen family and Chen's father also value Chen Shaojun very much. After all, he is his biological grandson/son. However, Chen Shaojun has always been very sensible and distant from them and polite. He always calls out "grandfather, grandmother, father" respectfully. They think Even if you get close, you can't get close to her, but you still value her very much.

Now, the three of them were unhappy when they heard Chen Shaojun's words that seemed to be a slap in the face to their favorite grandson. However, on the surface, Chen Shaojun's words were still pleading for Chen Shaohua, and the three of them didn't want to show that it would really ruin the relationship between the two brothers, so they didn't say anything.

On the contrary, Chen Shaohua was quite happy to agree: "That's right, grandpa, grandma, and dad, you all know that I love to play. I have loved to play since I was a child. If you keep me in the mansion, I will be suffocated to death."

The young and immature Chen Shaojun thought that he had succeeded in slapping Chen Shaohua. Seeing Chen Shaohua actively agreeing, he laughed in his heart at this stupid elder brother.

However, Xiao Ying's words made the two elders of the Chen family and Chen's father, who had already favored him, favor him even more after noticing the wit in Chen Shaojun's words.

Father Chen didn't want to teach his son a lesson. He glanced at his second son with an ambiguous look and said to his eldest son, "Come to my study later and tell me about your experiences that were not mentioned in the family letters in the past two years."

What was not mentioned in the family letters was of course the trip to the desert.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Xiao Ying came to Father Chen's study.

Father Chen sat in front of the desk with a serious expression. When he saw Xiao Ying coming, he pointed to a chair and said, "Sit down."

Xiao Ying sat down and faced Father Chen. He was no longer smiling and smiling. His expression was also serious. The father and son looked quite similar.

Father Chen asked him about the whole trip to the desert. Xiao Ying didn't hide it. He talked about his desire to see the scenery of the desert, his thoughts after seeing the cruel massacre of the people by the foreign race, and the situation he encountered when he went deep into the desert. Those dangers and difficulties were easily passed over in his words. How could Father Chen not hear it?

Father Chen sighed, looking at the handsome face of his eldest son who had matured. After the worries in his heart were gone, he felt extremely proud. The son who had once been in his arms had grown up...

He patted Xiao Ying on the shoulder: "Well done! You are worthy of being my son of the Chen family! But you should be careful when you encounter such things in the future. Don't forget that there are family members at home who are worried about you. You must ensure your own safety..."

Father Chen kept talking and giving many instructions. Xiao Ying never interrupted him, but listened very seriously. A warm current surged in his heart. This was probably the fatherly love he had never experienced...

Xiao Ying, who had always been persistent in wanting to experience love, suddenly felt that living like an ordinary person could actually experience the feelings that ordinary people should have, such as family affection... After becoming Chen Shaohua, although he still had no mother, he could feel his father's love for his son.

If Xiao Ying had some acting elements in his feelings for Father Chen before, now he had real feelings, which was precious.

Xiao Ying smiled and promised: "Dad, I promise to put my safety first in the future!"

But he did not promise not to leave Beijing again.

Father Chen knew it in his heart, sighed, and asked: "You are twenty years old, when do you plan to get married?"

Xiao Ying smiled: "No hurry, no hurry." In fact, he did not plan to get married at all. Which woman would be willing to marry a husband who neither loves her nor can always be with her? After getting married, he still traveled all over the country, which might make the girl a widow!

Xiao Ying, who finally got out of Chen's father's forced marriage, met Chen Shaojun on the way back to his courtyard.

The two brothers looked at each other in silence.

Xiao Ying suddenly said: "Second brother, accompany me for a walk."

Although Chen Shaojun did not like him, he still had to pretend to have a good relationship with his brothers, so he agreed.

The two walked side by side, Xiao Ying said: "Second brother, from now on, my elder brother will probably be away from home for a long time, so I'll leave grandparents and father to you."

Chen Shaojun frowned slightly: "What do you mean, elder brother?"

Xiao Ying ignored him and continued: "My dream is to travel all over the world. I'm destined to be restless in this life, and I don't plan to marry and have children. You are the only one who can support the family. My elder brother will leave again soon, and I don't know when he will come back. The only thing I'm worried about is the two elders and father. Second brother, please be filial to them on my behalf. Don't learn the so-called rules and manners of other nobles on weekdays. It's better to be familiar with the elders than to be too distant and polite to them, which will make them happy..."
