A different kind of love of the dumb scholar

Chapter 154 Xiao Heng is Difficult (Part [-])
Liu Zhuyun paused while chopping vegetables, "My house used to be in the old alley. After my parents passed away, I lived there alone for a while, and then I met my husband, so I sold the house and went to Jiangcheng with him. Settled down."

"So that's the case. May I ask, where's your husband? I've seen you all these years, and you seem to be alone."

"Sorry, if it's inconvenient to say, just pretend I didn't ask."

Liu Zhuyun let out a sigh of relief, and resumed her smile just now, "It's nothing inconvenient. My husband died in an accident."

"I'm sorry, I don't know..." Xiao Heng said sorry from the bottom of his heart.

"It's all right, it was many years ago."

Xiao Heng was silent for a while, because he felt that it seemed a bit inhumane to ask questions at such a time.

After a long while, feeling that Liu Zhuyun should have recovered from his grief, Xiao Heng continued to speak, this time he paid great attention to his wording, "Then...how did you come to live in the old city? Since you and...you have already settled in Jiangcheng , there should be a place to live.”

"Living in a familiar place, it's easy to remember old people, but I can't bear to part with Jiangcheng, so I changed my environment."

"Is that so..."

It all makes sense.

As for whether it was true or not, Xiao Heng felt that she shouldn't have lied, and it was so easy to debunk something that could be found out after one investigation, so she had absolutely no need to lie.

"What about you? You have already returned to Kyoto, why did you transfer here at the critical moment of the third year of high school?"

"This... well, it's all because of my poor grades, so the old man sent me to Jiangcheng to study with Qianqian a lot." Xiao Heng lied a little embarrassedly.

Then he picked up the peeled potatoes and went to the sink to wash them.

After washing the potatoes, I started to wash the vegetables, which was very competent.

"The old man is very wise, and Qianqian has always been self-disciplined, and she can maintain her academic performance so well without an elder looking after her. If it's another child, without the elders taking care of her, she might have deteriorated long ago. As the saying goes If you are close to Mo Zhehei, the old man asked you to come here, even if you don't improve your studies, you can still learn a lot of good qualities from Qianqian."

"Qianqian is in such a situation again, she still lives alone, and you will have someone to take care of you when you come here, otherwise she will always be uneasy living in such a big house as a little girl. Now that you are here, she is willing to talk to people Made new friends and I'm glad to see her make the transition."

Hearing this, Xiao Heng looked at her suspiciously, "Aunt Liu likes Qianqian very much?"

Liu Zhuyun was noncommittal, "Of course, who wouldn't like an outstanding, sensible and beautiful child like Qianqian? Besides, when I first moved here, I received a lot of care from Mr. Shui. Treat it like your own daughter."

The smile on her face is very sincere, not like telling a lie.

After a pause, Xiao Heng said: "During the time we were not in Jiangcheng, Qianqian is grateful for your care."

"What do you want to take care of? Qianqian has always been self-reliant. I just greeted her occasionally when she came home from school. It didn't help much. Although I wanted to, you also know that Qianqian refused dealing with people."

Xiao Heng was sincerely grateful, "It would be great if you could greet her when she comes back, at least it will make her feel that someone in the old house is waiting for her to come back."

Liu Zhuyun smiled lightly and remained silent.

"By the way, Aunt Liu, you said you saw Mizugaki before, what did he tell you?"

Upon hearing Mizugaki's name, Liu Zhuyun's expression changed slightly.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Xiao Heng thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Liu doesn't know something. Mizugaki is my master's adopted son. He committed unforgivable things a few years ago and has been kicked out of the house by my master. He has been in the house all these years. Abroad, come back suddenly now, I'm afraid it has no good intentions."

"It turns out that he and the Shui family have such a relationship. In this way, we should really be careful. Qianqian is a girl, and you usually don't let her go out alone. If he comes to the teahouse again in the future, I will find a way to find out more about him. .”

Xiao Heng glanced at her, "Thank you, Aunt Liu, but no need, this person Mizugaki has no bottom line at all, I'm afraid he will harm you if he knows your intentions, you'd better stay away from him as much as possible."

Farther away from Mizugaki?
Naturally, it is impossible, but she waited seven years for him to come back, and she still has to collect debts!

"Don't worry, Auntie has lived for so many years, she won't put herself in danger."

Looking at the vegetables he had washed and cut, he praised: "It seems that you really know how to cook. There are not many boys from rich families who can cook like you, let alone you are the only grandson of the Xiao family."

The only grandson of the Xiao family...

The Xiao family's status in the capital is indeed not low, but if you are not in that circle, you may not know the Xiao family.Even if he knew the Xiao family, he might not know that he was the only grandson of the Xiao family.

Even if she has lived here for a few years, she may have seen the old man who came to the Shui family as a guest in the early years, but the old man did not come here under the banner of the Xiao family in Kyoto with great fanfare.

Therefore, it is definitely not a coincidence that she can tell his identity so clearly.

She slipped up.

Xiao Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "I was forced out by two senior brothers in the early years."

"You have to thank them. Boys can cook and girls like them very much."

The corner of Xiao Heng's mouth twitched, even if he doesn't know how to cook, girls like him with his face.The only girls who have eaten his cooking are Qianqian and Han Ru, oh no, Sister Mingyue often came to the old house in the early years and also ate his cooking.

Those girls have never eaten the food he cooked, and they don't even know that he can cook, so they continue to follow him?
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Liu Zhuyun ask: "Are your two senior brothers okay now? Have they both gone back to the capital?"

Leaked again.

She knew that his two senior brothers were both from Kyoto.

It's okay to know that he and the second senior brother are from Kyoto. After all, it's no secret that they are from Kyoto, but it's unusual for her to know that the senior brother is from Kyoto.

In the early years, the Feng family fought fiercely, and the elder brother's parents secretly sent him to Jiangcheng. Only a few of them knew the identity of the elder brother, outsiders only knew the name of the elder brother, and nothing else.

If the identity of the senior brother is exposed, I am afraid that he will not be able to live until now.You know, even the elder brother's parents were assassinated in the Feng family's internal strife.

"Yes, they all went back to Kyoto."

"No wonder you don't see them coming to the old house. I remember that your elder brother has a girlfriend. She is a very beautiful and gentle girl, very likable. How is she doing now?"

Miss Mingyue?
In the early years, Sister Mingyue was still a student of Kyoto University. Because it was inconvenient to reveal the identity of the senior brother, every time she came to visit the senior brother secretly, even the neighbors had never seen her, let alone the person in front of her at that time. their neighbors.

As for later, although Sister Mingyue also lived in the old house, in her situation, she didn't even go out, so it was impossible to see anyone.

How did she know sister Mingyue?

"You're talking about Sister Mingyue, right? She's very good. She's married to my elder brother, and they're living together in Kyoto."

"Yes, yes, this is good..."

Xiao Heng looked at her suspiciously, "Aunt Liu, do you know Sister Mingyue? Not many neighbors here know about Sister Mingyue."

Only then did Liu Zhuyun realize that she had made a slip of the tongue, she came back to her senses, and continued to cover up her nervousness by chopping vegetables, "Oh, I just happened to meet a few times a few years ago."

"But sister Mingyue lived in the old house for several years, and never went out once. How did you meet her?"

Sister Mingyue's situation was even worse than that of Qianqian at that time. Although Qianqian didn't speak, she could go out and go to and from school normally. As long as she wanted to, she would also use a notebook to communicate with others.Sister Mingyue completely sealed herself off, and she didn't even respond to senior brother calling her.

"This one……"

Xiao Heng seems unreliable, but he is not at all ambiguous in business matters.

Liu Zhuyun couldn't help sighing, she deserves to be the heir cultivated by the old man of the Xiao family.

"To be honest, I actually saw Mingyue when I was in Kyoto. After I moved here, I happened to see her and your senior brother at the entrance of the Shui Family Martial Arts Hall, so I wrote it down."

"We knew each other in Kyoto?"

"Yeah, didn't I just say that my family is in an old alley in Kyoto? After all, we were still neighbors before Mingyue was ten years old."

This……

Sister Mingyue seemed to live in the old alley before she was adopted by the elder brother's parents.

"Then your memory is really good. Sister Mingyue was in her 20s when she came to Jiangcheng a few years ago, and you haven't seen each other for more than ten years. You can still recognize her at a glance."

This kid is really difficult.

Liu Zhuyun smiled, "It's because Mingyue hasn't changed much since she was a child."

Xiao Heng wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted by a voice: "I've seen photos of Mingyue when she was about ten years old, and she is very different from her in her 20s."

Shui Qianqian stood at the door of the kitchen, "I came to see if there is anything I need to help, and I overheard your conversation."
