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

Chapter 74 Bird
  Xu Yanqing lifted the thing in his hand while speaking.

In the exquisite little cage, there was a parrot that was always in good condition.

The parrot's feathers are brightly colored. When he sees Xu Zhiyan, he calls out to his owner, making people excited, "Brother, where did you get this? This is so cute, I love you so much, little brother!"

Xu Yanqing raised her chin proudly.

"You looked like you were drooling when you saw the parrot brought by Miss Yu last time. Your little brother, I went to Miss Yu and asked the seller. I bought you a parrot that came out of the same nest as someone else. You said you like it. Don’t like it!”

How could Xu Zhiyan not like it?

"I love it so much!"

She took the birdcage and tentatively put her hand in. The parrot jumped onto her hand and stood there without any recognition. After saying something to itself, it lowered its head and rubbed her wrist with its head, rubbing itself all over. Hairy.

She smiled even wider.

"Brother, what do you think I call it blessing? It looks like it is blessed."

Xu Yanqing naturally agreed.

When Xu Zhiyan heard this, she shouted blessings continuously, and blessings responded to every word. Such spiritual performance made her fall in love with it even more. However, such a lovely blessing was found dead in the birdcage the next day.

Her body was shaking with anger.

"Who! Who did it! Investigate thoroughly!"

[It was still fine yesterday. It can't be due to illness, it can only be caused by man-made things. In such a huge Xu family, Xu Xingrou is the only one who dares to do this. 】

She immediately rushed to Xu Xingrou's yard with her people. Seeing her lying in Lin Wanniang's arms like a delicate girl, she became even more angry. She picked her up and slapped her before she could react. .

Lin Wanniang screamed.

"Xu Zhiyan! What are you doing!"

Xu Zhiyan glanced at her and said, "My eldest daughter, my legitimate eldest daughter, do I still need to explain to you when I teach a concubine who doesn't know the bounds of heaven and earth?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoxi led people out of Xu Xingrou's house, "Report to Miss Xingrou, we found the same medicine as in the blessing bowl in Miss Xingrou's house, and there were traces of use, and it was on a set of unwashed clothes. , found the feather of blessing.”

With all the physical evidence, it was clear that Xu Xingrou was the murderer, but how could she admit it like this? When she saw Xu Ziying coming, her eyes turned red, her tears fell, and her voice sounded aggrieved, as if she had been bullied so pitifully. .

"father……"

Hearing the news early, Xu Yanqing, who arrived at Xu Zhiyan's side before Xu Ziying, rolled his eyes when he saw this.

"What's the use of calling me dad here? All the physical evidence has been dug out. Are you still pretending to be pitiful? Or do you want to say that you didn't use medicine to poison your luck?"

"If it's not poisonous, who did you use the medicine with traces of use? As far as I know, this medicine is very potent, and anyone who uses it will be imprisoned."

These words blocked all Xu Xingrou's excuses.

She was speechless.

He would only look at Xu Ziying in panic.

Xu Ziying naturally knew that Xu Xingrou was the one who did such a thing, but that was his child with the one he loved, and he could not reprimand her in front of so many people.

He rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly.

"It's just a bird. Why is there any need to make such a fuss? And you, Xu Yanqing, as the elder brother, you only bought the bird for Zhiyan and not Rou'er. It's really wrong!"

Xu Yanqing was not someone who allowed Xu Ziying to show off his power.

He immediately sneered. "I only bought it for my sister. She, Xu Xingrou, is nothing. An outsider bitch got into the house after countless calculations, and she is still a bitch. I didn't care that they sucked on my mother like leeches and squandered her lavishly. The money I earn is already considered my benevolence and righteousness.”

Xu Ziying was irritated and said, "Presumptuous!"

What followed was a slap that he had exerted a lot of force on, but Xu Yanqing, who had been training with Hua Xunyu for many years, easily blocked this blow.

"What didn't I say right?"

"Who in the whole Yangzhou Prefecture doesn't know that Lin Wanniang and the others are the most shameless. Since entering the mansion, they have bought expensive clothes and jewelry, and also spent money to attend banquets in a high-profile manner. Don't you think that just with your small salary? Can you afford them?"

In the calmest tone, he said words that poked Xu Ziying's heart.

Xu Zhiyan saw that Xu Ziying's face turned red, and she quickly pulled Xu Yanqing's clothes calmly.

"Bro."

[Although it's great to piss people off directly, it won't work if the name of unfilial piety is brought to his head. Anyway, it won't be long before he becomes seriously ill. 】

Xu Yanqing's eyes flashed.

Taking advantage of the situation, he flicked Xu Ziying's hand outward and said, "For the sake of your age, I won't argue with you this time. Next time, I will make you look good."

After putting down these harsh words, Xu Yanqing took Xu Zhiyan away.

When they arrived at Xu Zhiyan's yard, Xu Zhiyan quickly pulled Xu Yanqing to sit down, "Brother, don't be angry. There is no one to take care of you when you are so angry. Come on, have a cup of tea to calm down, and then think about how to give Xu Xingrou a break from behind."

She winked at him.

Xu Yanqing quickly understood.

"Don't tell me, the opportunity is about to come. Ma Da's family has a banquet. I see that the invitation is held tomorrow. There are rumors that the banquet is for his eldest son Ma Su to choose his wife. What about this? Those people over there definitely don’t know, so we can reveal it.”

Mr. Ma is a second-grade official. In order to make her position more stable, Lin Wanniang will definitely try her best to get Xu Xingrou to show up and marry Ma Su.

It's just that if she wants to think about it, she will definitely not want to marry her, and it will definitely make a big joke.

Xu Zhiyan and Xu Yanqing looked at each other.

It’s self-evident that I can’t wait to watch the excitement.

……

Xu Yanqing's plan was successful. As expected, Lin Wanniang found a way to squeeze Xu Xingrou into the party for tomorrow's banquet, and even thought of spending a lot of money to make a good set of clothes for her at short notice.

But this time the warehouse didn't give her any money without Xu Yanqing's knowledge, so she went to Xu Ziying to cry, and finally asked him to pay a large sum of money privately.

Today Xu Xingrou is wearing the clothes she bought with that money. The style is exquisite and the fabric is gorgeous, but it always feels inconsistent.

Xu Zhiyan looked away calmly and walked towards Ma Tiantian, the eldest daughter of the Ma family.

The other party was also sizing up Xu Xingrou.

"Tsk, Xu Xingrou is the only one in the entire Yangzhou Prefecture who can wear such good clothes with such a mediocre feeling."

"Miss Xu, although my brother does not have an official position, he is the legitimate eldest son of the Ma family. Is it a bit of a slap in the face for your Xu family to bring this person here?"

The words he spoke were not gentle, but his expression was relaxed and freehand. It was obvious that he was just teasing among friends.

Xu Zhiyan sat down, took the tea and took a sip before speaking leisurely.
