His Highness held Ah Piao's sleeve and strolled leisurely on the street, looking left and right at the people on the street, watching their lives carefully, and sighed softly.
"Miss, why are you sighing again?" Ah Piao looked at her, "Did you think of something?"
"No, I'm just a little emotional." His Highness smiled, looked at the people around him, and whispered, "Tell me, is it actually quite good to live such an ordinary and ordinary life like them? ?At least you don’t have to plot against others every day, and you don’t have to be plotted against by others.”
"Honestly?" Seeing His Highness nod, Ah Piao sighed, "Whatever you lack, you want."
"What's the meaning?"
"Let's put it this way, all people are in this situation, you are like this, and so are they. You envy them, and they also long to live a life like you."
"What do I desire in a life like this?" His Highness smiled bitterly, "Every day is full of hardships, and I don't dare to sleep well at night, for fear of what kind of big changes will happen that night. Days like this..." She shook her head helplessly, "What is it that others desire? If they knew the truth, they would probably avoid it, right?"
"But they don't know the truth. They only believe what they see. What they see is that the rich and powerful eat well and drink hot food. What they see is that you have the power and make a move. And you every day, every moment , the fact that every step is walking on the tip of a knife, even if they know it, they will selectively forget it and pretend not to know."
"I only saw thieves eating meat, not drinking soup."
"That's what it means. In the same way, you envy their ordinary and ordinary days because you want a peaceful life, not like this. But you haven't thought about it. Although they are ordinary and ordinary, they still live every day. Working hard for firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, and worrying about finding a way out for the children and grandchildren of the family are enough to make ordinary people miserable. Isn’t there a saying? Poor and humble couples suffer from everything."
"Poor and lowly couples are in great distress..." His Highness nodded, "It's still very appropriate."
"Yes, in addition to these daily life, we also have to deal with a lot of disturbances from the outside world." Ah Piao raised his eyebrows, "As you just saw, the brothers set up a stall and had to deal with local gangsters looking for trouble. Ordinary people's lives are not that easy." At this point, Ah Piao sighed, "In today's world, it is impossible to live a carefree life. Everyone lives It’s not all that easy, and you always encounter various problems. I’ve heard a saying before, life is one difficulty after another.”
"This is quite appropriate. No matter what kind of life you are in, you will always be in a state of panic. When you press the gourd, the gourd will rise."
"You're right."
His Highness pulled Ah Piao sideways to let a few trolleys pass. Looking at Hei Lu'er who was slowly rubbing behind them, he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, what were you two muttering about just now? Is there something wrong with that shop selling preserves?"
"A shop that sells preserves?" Ah Piao didn't react for a moment. She was still sighing about life just now, so why did she get involved with a shop that sells preserves?
"I saw that you two stood at the door talking for a long time, and Xiao Hei and the shopkeeper also competed with each other for a long time."
"Oh!" Ah Piao shook her head slightly, "No problem, that shop belongs to Big... Big Brother, and the shopkeeper and the waiters are his."
"His person? Eyeliner?" Seeing A Piao nod, His Highness narrowed his eyes and looked Hei Lu'er up and down, "I can't believe that he dared to do such a thing behind my back. You are not afraid that I will blame him if I find out. ?"
"Miss, how dare I carry you on my back? I don't have the courage." Hei Luer laughed twice, "Aren't these the original group of people from the Hei family? I asked you before, should I How to deal with them, you said you can do whatever I want with them."
"A member of the Hei family?" His Highness blinked, "It seems... that's what happened. Are you... his?"
"Before, after I went back, it was mine. I destroyed the Hei family with my own hands, and they had some help, so I couldn't bear to have it destroyed all at once."
"It's rare that you also have compassion."
"Miss, don't call me so unhuman, okay?" Hei Lu'er shook his head helplessly, "Actually, after returning to the Hei family, I conducted in-depth understanding and research on these people. People have a very deep and detailed understanding of Liao and Xia, and the sources of information are much more reliable than our own. I thought at that time, instead of giving it to others cheaply, it is better to keep it for ourselves. .”
"This is the right thing to do, and I understand what you mean by looking for them." His Highness nodded, "So, you just asked them..."
"Go and check Xiao Huang and Xiao Xiao. I always feel a little uneasy about these two brothers."
"Uneasy? Why are you uneasy?"
“It’s not that we are worried that they will be bad for us, but that we are worried about their origins.”
"Why?"
"It's not clear. I just have this feeling that I asked them to investigate. We are not good at investigating this kind of family secrets, but they have their own way." At this point, Hei Lu'er sneered, " You still don’t know what kind of person that old bastard is? He’s very suspicious and ill. If you don’t investigate a target, it won’t be complete until you uncover all the eighteen generations of your ancestors!” He snorted, “I don’t know either. What did he think? He especially loved to watch other families fight within their families, and it was really fun to watch them. The shop just now was where he specially collected family secrets. The shopkeeper was in Linhuang Mansion many years ago. For The Yelu family and the Xiao family are very familiar with people and things, so I asked him to see if Xiao Huang and Xiao Xiao have anything to do with the Xiao family."
"He seems to be young, would he recognize the two brothers?"
"Yes, the Xiao family has never known how to keep a low profile. They have always been public. It is difficult not to recognize them in Linhuang Mansion."
After the trolleys passed by, His Highness pulled Ah Piao and continued to move forward. Seeing Hei Lu'er following him, he said, "However, looking at the appearance of the two brothers, they are somewhat similar to the Xiao family, so They deny the origin of the Xiao family, which makes me suspicious."
"That's right." Hei Lu'er sighed, "Their reaction to the Xiao family makes me feel that something is not right, so I would like to ask someone to check it out. If it is really someone from the Xiao family, I would be more curious. , what happened to them that made them have no choice but to leave the Xiao family."
"What accidents do you think this incident will cause?"
"It's impossible to have an accident. After all, the Xiao family has become like this and can't afford to cause any trouble. It's just..." Hei Lu'er sighed tentatively, "I can't tell for the moment. Maybe once it's found out, I can clear my mind now.”
