The whole family went crazy after reading my mind, and I became a favorite after eating melons

Chapter 25 Investigation
  Xu Shixue looked around vaguely and found that many people had gathered around him. He was secretly annoyed that he had not controlled his emotions well, but his face quickly calmed down and returned to his usual polite appearance.

"Sorry, I went overboard."

He bowed politely and left quickly.

With one of the parties involved gone, there was no excitement left. The onlookers dispersed in an instant, leaving Ji Congyun alone.

Ji Congyun bent down and looked at Xu Zhiyan in Xu Yannan's arms with a smile, and held a candy bar to her mouth with his slender fingers.

"Would you like some candy, little sister?"

The sweet smell of sugar couldn't help but penetrate her nose. She pursed her lips and swallowed, looking up at Xu Yannan, her voice was crisp.

"Brother, can I eat it?"

This well-behaved look made Ji Congyun extremely envious. He pushed the candy into her mouth with a strong fingertip, "It's just a piece of candy. Your brother is still looking at it. What's the matter? My little devil can be half as good as you." Be good, I will thank God!"

Xu Zhiyan frowned and opened her mouth to push out the candy, but Xu Yannan covered her mouth.

"Don't you like the taste?"

She blinked, not understanding what Xu Yannan meant, but still shook her head, "No, it's quite delicious."

"Then let's eat, brother agreed."

With these words, she obediently held the candy in her mouth to absorb the sweetness.

Ji Congyun was so jealous that he almost fainted, "Oh my god, is this the so-called gap between people? I want to reinvent the little devil!"

Xu Yannan smiled.

"Don't let your words be overheard."

"Don't worry, I'm sure the secret is safe. It's you. Do you want to hide the matter just now? If I remember correctly, the man just now seems to be the son of your father's aunt, and his name seems to be Xu Shixue."

Xu Yannan's eyes sharpened.

"what?"

Ji Congyun was stunned for a moment, "No way, brother, don't tell me that you still don't know about your father's estrangement. You kicked out the estrangement and the child before. What did I think of you?" We all know it.”

"I know that the mother and daughter were the ones who were kicked out last time, but I really didn't find out what they were doing here. I really didn't know that the son from the outer room was here too."

Xu Yannan spends only a handful of time at home throughout the year, and Hua Rong is not a person who easily feels sorry for himself. So for so many years, he only knew that his father had an affair and had a child, but he did not know the specific details.

He never expected that the eldest of the two children would be the same age as himself.

Thinking that his mother had suffered such great humiliation, his heart surged with emotion, and he hated himself for letting Xu Shixue go so easily just now.

Looking at his dark expression, Ji Congyun knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly made up for it.

"Oh, it's not too late to know now. Tomorrow is the poetry meeting held by the academy. It is said that His Royal Highness the Prince will also come to this poetry meeting. It is very grand. If Xu Shixue wants to get ahead without relying on his family background, he will definitely have to use his talent tomorrow. He will definitely come forward."

"You are infinitely more talented than him. Let's cooperate when the time comes. As long as he plans to perform, we will directly suppress him and make his plan fail."

He actively made suggestions.

Xu Yannan thought for a while and agreed.

After listening to the whole story, Xu Zhiyan decided to increase the amount.

Poetry session the next day. Xu Shixue was in place early.

According to his assumptions, he should be very comfortable today, but because of what happened yesterday, he always felt that others looked at him wrong, so he never dared to do anything, for fear that someone would tell him what he did yesterday in public.

But as the poetry meeting progressed, he became more and more anxious, and finally gained the confidence to speak up when meeting friends with poetry.

As usual, his poems were praised as soon as he came out, and he thought he was about to shine. Unfortunately, the person who followed him in poetry was Xu Yannan, who was as talented as the previous poets.

It's obviously the same theme, but even an illiterate person can tell that Xu Yannan's poems are more than a little better than Xu Shixue's, and insiders are full of praise for the wording in Xu Yannan's poems.

"Brother Xu's use of words is wonderful!"

"If you change it to another word, the overall feeling will be different. I, Wang, admire it. Come on, give me a toast to Brother Xu!"

They have the same surname as Xu, but at this moment everyone is referring to Brother Xu as Xu Yannan. Xu Shixue secretly resents being robbed of his glory, and the look he glances at from time to time is as if he has been poisoned.

Xu Zhiyan, who was hiding next to her, saw this look clearly. She pursed her lips and asked Xiaoxi if the matter was done.

Xiaoxi nodded firmly.

Xu Zhiyan felt relieved and lit a small piece of incense in a hidden corner. Xiaoxi looked at the spark and was very confused, "Miss, everyone can smell this incense, will it have some influence on other people?" ah?"

"Didn't I just ask you to put something in Xu Shixue's cup? That thing is useless on its own, but once it is neutralized with the smoke, it will cause people to have stomach upsets and collapse is inevitable!"

Xu Zhiyan was extremely proud.

[Just kidding, you would be a fool not to avenge yourself. I am just being merciful by just letting people have diarrhea. 】

During the conversation between the master and the servant, Xu Shixue had already reacted. The dignified man who had been sitting just now began to slowly curl up his limbs. He left the table within a few seconds. When he came back, his face was full of tears. White.

As a result, before the chair was warm, he went out again. After going back and forth several times, the person sitting next to him finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Xu Shixue, if you feel uncomfortable, don't come here. This back and forth is not disturbing anyone, but..."

The other party covered his nose vaguely.

The rest of the meaning is self-evident.

Xu Shixue was very embarrassed, "Sorry, I may have eaten too much..."

He didn't want to leave. He hadn't even shown his face in front of His Highness the Crown Prince yet. If he left now, he would be in vain. However, it would be too rude to have a stomachache when he met the Crown Prince later.

In the end, he reluctantly chose to leave the meeting.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiyan happily high-fived Xiaoxi, "Woohoo! Let's go to the kitchen to get something to eat. Just now, Grandpa Chef promised to make flower soup for me. It's fragrant, tender and delicious. I'm sure I can eat it now. !”

She pulled Xiaoxi and wanted to run out of Hot Wheels, but halfway through, her collar tightened and her body suddenly became airborne.

[Hey, I can fly? 】

"Pfft, the kid looked up."

Xu Zhiyan acted according to the voice blankly, and looked directly into Li Wenjin's eyes.

Li Wenjin, who has just turned eleven, is already quite tall, and his eyebrows have opened up a lot. The tenderness he had when they first met him as a child has been more or less replaced by composure. There is only a hidden smile in his eyes, which is still in line with his current age. consistent.
