Chapter 31
After listening to the elder brother's explanation, Xu Lingyue couldn't help frowning. She didn't believe that it was Mrs. Wu who caused the second sister-in-law to have a miscarriage.

Even if Mrs. Wu doesn't like her second sister-in-law any more, she is not vicious enough to harm others.

Xu Hongfu said: "Little sister, since you know, then elder brother will take you home first."

With a serious expression on Xu Lingyue's face, she refused straight away, "No, I'm going to take a look."

As soon as he heard that she was going, Xu Hongfu looked at her with disapproval, hesitant to speak.

"Brother, do you believe that this matter has something to do with A Niang?"

"Naturally I don't believe it."

In the end, Xu Hongfu still couldn't persuade her, so he agreed to go to the second brother's house together.

There are two streets to go to Bai's house, and the two of them walked for about ten minutes before arriving.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a middle-aged man coming out with a medicine box. Xu Lingyue guessed that this was probably the doctor who treated the second sister-in-law.

The doctor stepped out of the door with his front feet, followed by a scholar-like man.

The doctor said to the scholar-like man, "Master Xu, stop."

The scholar-like man said politely, "Doctor Yu, go slowly."

Then the doctor left.

Just when he was about to turn around and go back, he saw the little sister and the big brother, and asked in a flat tone, "Why are you here?"

Xu Lingyue was not surprised by his attitude.

As mentioned in the novel, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters is relatively ordinary. Compared with the other brothers, Xu Qitian is the one with the most ordinary relationship.

Maybe it's because he doesn't go home many times, and Xu Lingyue has never gone to the town to find this second brother, so no matter how good the relationship is, I'm afraid it will fade away.

Xu Lingyue replied with a smile: "Second Brother, I'm here to find Aunt."

The second brother frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he said to her: "Come in."

Just as Xu Qitian was about to turn around, he seemed to think of something again, so he glanced at the two of them and reminded him lightly, "Remember to take off your shoes."

His words made the eldest brother turn red instantly, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Then he remembered the embarrassing incident just now, when he and daddy came here, he didn't take off his shoes, and just walked in, he was told by his second brother.

As the eldest brother, he was taught a lesson by his younger brother, no wonder he felt embarrassed.

Xu Lingyue nodded to show that she understood.

People in the country are not particular about it, and whoever enters the door will take off their shoes.

But old Mr. Bai from the Bai family is a scholar, so he pays more attention to it on weekdays. Xu Qitian has lived in the Bai family for so long, and he is probably used to it. Besides, he is also a scholar, so it is normal for scholars to like to be particular.

But Xu Lingyue always felt that this second elder brother was too indifferent to them, as if they were not brother and sister, but rather an ordinary relationship.

After entering the door, Xu Lingyue took off her shoes, and the second brother had already changed into the shoes in the inner room and went in.

The two of them were still outside in a daze, because the second brother didn't prepare any shoes for them.

The eldest brother stepped in at some point, and seeing that she was still in a daze, he reminded her: "Little sister, there are some icy feet on the ground, you just have to make do with it."

Helpless, Xu Lingyue could only go in barefoot.

If you have beriberi, you will die of embarrassment.

The ground was icy and cold. After walking a few steps, I saw the second brother come out. Seeing them frowning, he said with some displeasure, "Why are you so slow?"

Xu Hongfu cautiously asked him with a hint of flattery: "Second brother, my younger sister is a girl's house, it's not good to be in the cold, do you see if there are any extra shoes..."

Hearing this, Xu Qitian said angrily, "No, it's troublesome." After speaking, he glanced at Xu Lingyue, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

How could Xu Lingyue not notice his blatant dislike.

For some reason, this second elder brother gave her the feeling that she was superior to others.

It's like the kind of people who are rich and look down on their poor relatives.

At first, I thought that they just had a cold relationship, but I didn't expect that people simply disliked them.

She didn't know if all ancient scholars were like this, or her second brother was a unique example.

One thing is quite surprising, the eldest brother actually cares about her.

Xu Lingyue didn't want her elder brother to suffer any grievances because of herself, so she signaled him to stop talking.

"Brother, I don't need it."

That being the case, Xu Hongfu gave up.

But looking at this strange second brother, Xu Hongfu felt a little disappointed.

Walking into the hall, she saw Mrs. Wu's face was a bit haggard, as was the old man Xu beside her.

The two of them were a little uncomfortable. Xu Lingyue took a look and found that the two were barefoot. The old man Xu had his right foot on top of his left, and he kept trying to cover it with his clothes.

Xu Lingyue was immediately disappointed with this second brother.

It's fine if you don't change their shoes, but even my father and mother are barefoot. The second brother is really a "filial" son.

The two old people are old, if the cold enters the body and catches a cold or something, will he go with his conscience?
Seeing Xu Qitian approaching, Mrs. Wu stood up and explained weakly: "Second brother, it's really none of your mother's business."

Seeing this, he ignored Mrs. Wu at all, and went straight to the back room.

Seeing that Xu Lingyue had followed, old man Xu glared at the boss behind him.

What did he order, the boss didn't even listen to a word.

Seeing that Mrs. Wu still wanted to follow, Xu Lingyue hurried over and grabbed her.

Xu Lingyue didn't want the two old people to be wronged here, so she frowned and said, "Mother, let's go home."

Wu Shi was extremely helpless. After seeing her cute baby, she seemed to see some hope. She took her hand and explained: "Ah Yue, it wasn't A Niang who did it, you trust me."

Xu Lingyue quickly comforted her, "Aniang, I believe in you."

At this time, the eldest brother on the side also persuaded: "Father, go back."

The next moment, Xu Hongfu seemed to have made up his mind, and his face became serious.

If the second brother stopped him again, he would never be polite again.

Old man Xu sighed deeply, glanced at the back room, and then shook his head in disappointment.

After a long time, he suddenly became vicissitudes, and responded with a heavy tone: "Let's go."

Old man Xu ordered: "Ah Yue, help your mother."

Hearing this, Xu Lingyue nodded, handed the rags in her hand to her elder brother, and helped Mrs. Wu go out.

I really didn't expect Wu Shi, who has always been sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, but she can only bully others and others can't bully her, to become like this, it's really pitiful to watch.

This time, the second brother didn't come out to stop them, maybe he was just angry and now he has recovered.

After putting on their shoes and leaving the White Mansion, they walked towards the gate of the city.

After discussing with each other, they prepared to go back in a bullock cart.

This bullock cart runs every hour or so, and when they arrived at the gate of the city, the bullock cart just happened to arrive.

Making oxcarts is paid on a head-by-head basis, two renminbi per person.
