After Xie Shian's greetings, he still had to go to school.
He would go there more than half an hour earlier than the prescribed time every day, and study and practice calligraphy there, very hard.
He was getting ready to leave.
At this time, there was a sudden noise in the yard.
Yun Chu frowned.
Tingfeng hurriedly walked in from outside: "Madam, the second young master has taken a fancy to the cricket in Uncle Chen's hand. What should we do about this?"
When Yunchu mentioned crickets, the pink and jade-shaped milk dumplings from yesterday appeared in Yunchu's mind.
Although the child had no upbringing and manners and jumped up on her and behaved miserably, for some reason, she couldn't feel any disgust.
She got up and walked towards the yard.
It was daylight, and the aunts and sisters came to pay their respects. The yard was very lively.
It happened that Chen Defu came with a cricket cage, and two groups of people bumped into him, so Xie Shiwei saw the cricket.
Eight-year-old Xie Shiwei raised his chin and ordered: "Bring me the cricket!"
Chen Defu's face was full of embarrassment: "In reply to the second young master, this cricket was specially ordered by the lady to be found by the old slave..."
"Bring it as you are told, where does all this nonsense come from!" Xie Shiwei snorted from his nose, "My mother has always been the most generous, how could she be reluctant to part with a cricket!"
"Wow, this cricket looks amazing!" Four-year-old Xie Shiyun opened his eyes wide, "Second brother, can I play crickets with you?"
Xie Shiwei was a little unhappy.
My mother always loves her third brother the most. She gets whatever he wants, and even comes to snatch a little cricket from him...
"You're a little brat, what can you play with? Go ahead!"
He glared at Xie Shiyun and walked towards Chen Defu.
After all, Chen Defu was just a servant, and he knew that Madam always loved these young masters.
He was not sure whether the lady would give this cricket to the second young master and then ask him to find another one...
When he was hesitant, the cage in his hand was snatched away by Xie Shiwei.
Xie Shiwei opened the cage, and the cricket jumped out of the cage and ran towards the grass on the side.
"How dare you run!"
Xie Shiwei dropped the cage and chased after him.
The eight-year-old boy was at his most dexterous. When he pounced forward, the cricket was crushed under his palm.
He got up from the ground and looked up to see Yun Chu standing on the steps not far away.
He quickly saluted: "Mother."
Only then did other people in the yard notice Yun Chu coming out, and they bowed their heads to say hello.
Yunchu's eyes fell on Xie Shiwei.
The second young master of the Xie family did not inherit Xie Jingyu's intelligence and hard work. He was naughty by nature and did not like to study. He did not want to go to school at the age of eight.
He sleeps until three o'clock in the morning every day, and it is considered good to have three or four days in half a month to pay him respects.
Although Xie Shiwei was not the child she loved most, she had never been partial and tried her best to raise and educate each child...
Xie Shiwei had no future in his studies, so she asked her brother to use the power of the Yun family to send her son to the military camp... It was precisely because of this wrong decision that Xie Shiwei had the right to freely enter and exit the Yun family's military camp, which solidified the Yun family's rebellion. The evidence was hidden by Xie Shiwei himself in her father's letters...
His thoughts were rolling, and the aura around Yun Chu was a little horrified.
Xie Shi'an, who was standing behind her, was keenly aware of her emotional changes.
"Shiwei." Xie Shi'an took a step forward and spoke as an elder brother, "Taking away crickets without permission is not the behavior of a gentleman. I, the Xie family, pass down books in books. Your behavior will bring shame to the Xie family. If your grandfather and father knew about it, they would definitely punish you by facing the wall and thinking about your fault. Why don't you quickly put the cricket back into the cage and apologize to your mother!"
Xie Shiwei glanced at Yunchu first.
Usually at this time, his mother would say it was just a cricket, no big deal, and let him play with it.
But now, my mother has a serious face and her eyes are a little scary.
He had no choice but to loosen his palms.
"Hey, why didn't the cricket move?" Xie Shiyun on the side exclaimed, "Oh no, the cricket seems to have been covered to death by the second brother!"
Xie Shiwei fiddled with it, but the cricket didn't move.
He frowned: "Why did he die so easily..."
"Kneel down!"
Yun Chu uttered two words coldly.
Xie Shiwei couldn't believe it: "Why?"
"It's because I've been too indulgent to you over the years that you developed such a lawless temper!" Yun Chu's voice was sharp, "It's stealing if you don't ask for it. I've written it clearly in the law that thieves will Having a tattoo on your forehead is a lifelong shame. How do you ask your father to gain a foothold in the officialdom, and how do you ask your eldest brother to study and pursue an official career..."
"I didn't steal anything!"
Xie Shiwei was a little panicked. No matter how naughty he was, he knew he couldn't be accused of stealing.
"Mom, I was just having fun. I was wrong. I will never do it again..."
He had obviously taken his mother's things like this before, but his mother just smiled and let him take it away.
Why is there so much effort this time...
But he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only admit his mistake and hoped that his mother would stop worrying about it.
Yun Chu turned his head slightly and looked at Xie Shi'an beside him: "Brother An, tell me, how should we deal with this matter?"
Xie Shi'an bowed his head and said: "If you know your mistakes and you can correct them, there is no greater good. Since Shiwei knows that you are wrong, let him compensate for the original price."
Xie Shiwei had a sad face.
The eldest brother and his sibling mother did not help him to beg for mercy, and even offered to let him compensate for one.
He spent all his money on eating, drinking and having fun, so how could he have any money to compensate his mother? Isn't this embarrassing for him?
Yun Chu smiled: "Brother An, do you know who I gave this cricket to?"
Xie Shian shook his head.
"It's for the young prince of Prince Pingxi's palace." Yun Chu's smile suddenly disappeared and he said coldly, "Brother Wei took my things as soon as he took them. They are all part of the same family, so I won't care about them! But, Ping Xi What is the identity of Wang Na? You should have heard of him. Can our Xie family afford to offend the young prince of Pingxi Palace? But if I can kill the cricket of the young prince today, I can destroy any princess tomorrow. With my clothes, I might have picked the flowers carefully planted by a certain princess... If I don’t give him a good punishment, do you think my brother will have a long memory?"
Xie Shian was extremely shocked.
It must have taken a lot of effort for my mother to find herself in a family like Pingxi Prince's Palace.
The cricket that was finally found to please the young prince died in Shi Wei's hands. No wonder the mother was so angry.
Xie Shi'an spoke slowly: "Then let's deal with it according to family law."
Yun Chu curled his lips: "As expected, Brother An knows the overall situation and takes care of the overall situation. When someone comes, he will follow the family's rules."
"No!" Xie Shiwei's eyes widened in horror, "I don't want to hit the board, I don't want it! Why don't I pay the cricket..."
The Xie family established a rule when they opened their mansion. If they made a big mistake, they would have to take legal action. Starting from the top twenty.
There was a woman who colluded with a boy outside to embezzle money from Mo Xie's family. The old lady beat her to death and she could no longer get out of bed.
This incident left a huge psychological shadow in Xie Shiwei's heart.
He was afraid that he would be beaten to pieces and that he would never be able to get out of bed again...
