Chapter 140 The seal has been given to you long ago

Xu Shijie woke up slowly on the third day after the operation. As soon as he woke up, he heard that his elder brother was sentenced to Qiuhou, and almost fainted again. The fat man who leaked the news slapped him in both mouths. The lady told him not to say anything, but he didn't expect that he would say it soon.

Xu Shijie was about to turn over from the bed, but was stopped by Chonglou, who had just walked into the door.

"Shijie, don't move around, beware of the crack of the wound."

When Xu Shijie saw that it was Chonglou, he was both happy and ashamed.

"Second brother."

He screamed softly and lay back on the bed obediently.

In order to facilitate care and not to scare Mrs. Xu, Xu Shijie did not return to the Xu family, but stayed in the Mo Family Hospital and lived in the room in Chonglou.

Chonglou stuffed a pillow on one side and put it on Xu Shijie's shoulder and let him lie on the head of the bed. While comforting him, he said, "I know you are worried about your elder brother. Don't worry, I will find a way to make your elder brother come back without any trouble."

Xu Shijie lay on the bed and looked at Chonglou. His mouth opened several times, but he didn't say anything in the end. He didn't know what Chonglou knew and what he didn't know, so he didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"By the way, is my mother okay?" The last sentence was said.

"Ms. Zhao is with Mrs. Xu in Xu's house. She lied to Mrs. Xu and said that you and my elder brother went to the farm for a while and arranged for the next season's planting. Mrs. Xu had no doubts, and she has recovered a lot in the past few days under the care of Miss Zhao. I heard that she could walk a few steps by herself and eat half a bowl of food."

"Oh, that's good."

Xu Shijie nodded lightly, then lowered his head and was silent. After a while, he raised his head again and looked at the heavy corridor and said, "Do you already know that you still call him the eldest brother? Have you forgiven him?"

Chonglou pursed his lips and sighed, "There is no forgiveness or not between me and my elder brother. Whether you believe it or not, I will not blame him no matter what the elder brother did to me. Moreover, I think the elder brother had murderous intentions for me because of Yongfeng Money House. Few people are not moved by such wealth, let alone Yongfeng Money House originally belonged to the Xu family."

"Yongfeng Money House? Could it be that Yongfeng Money House belongs to the second brother?" Xu Shijie asked in surprise. Obviously, he did not know about Yongfeng Money House.

Chonglou said: "Yongfeng Money House is indeed mine now, but it was built by Xu Baisheng. In order not to be too jealous, he hid most of the money. Later, he built money houses in the Three Kingdoms and transferred the money into these money houses separately. Such a wealth would be jealous even if the lord of a country was jealous, so Xu Baisheng did not reveal his identity as the owner of the money house. When he was seriously ill, he issued the seal to me on the bedside."

"Yongfeng Money House, I really didn't expect it to be founded by my father." Xu Shijie sighed. He only knew that his father was a business genius, but he didn't expect that he was so powerful that he could rival a country.

Chonglou nodded and said, "My father's talent is indeed amazing. In just under twenty years, from poor to rich, it is beyond the reach of the country. In fact, my father left the Yongfeng Money House for me and I returned to Sanyang County but did not tell you and my elder brother about this matter. I originally planned to explain it to you and my elder brother clearly after a while, but I didn't know how the elder brother knew about the Yongfeng Money House. He even went to the Yongfeng Money House to find the shopkeeper, so he learned about the seal from the shopkeeper and guessed that the seal was on me, so he became interested in robbing and murdering."

Xu Shijie sighed softly, "I didn't expect that my elder brother could not escape the temptation of money."

Chonglou felt silently sad. He guessed that the reason why Xu Shicong did that was not entirely because of Yongfeng Money House, but more because Xu Baisheng had a special favor for him since childhood.

Xu Shicong is very similar to Xu Baisheng. He has been very smart since he was a child. He can write and calculate at the age of three. He is a little prodigy that everyone praises, but this is all before he arrived at the Xu Mansion. He didn't know before, but later he gradually understood. Xu Baisheng's preference for himself was too obvious. The young Xu Shijie may not have any experience, but Xu Shicong will definitely have it.

From the stars supporting the moon to the supporting roles, this gap is too cruel for a child who is only a few years old. In Chonglou's opinion, it is already very impressive that he can always restrain himself and endure it.

Until Yongfeng Money House, this wealth that was as rich as a country appeared, finally aroused the hatred that had been suppressed in my heart for many years. Perhaps it was precisely because of long-term forbearance that once it exploded, it would be destined to do anything. But there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so...

Chonglou sighed that if it weren't for his appearance, everything might have been different. After all, he was the source of this sin!

"Second brother, does the Yongfeng Money House really belong to you now?" Xu Shijie asked again in disbelief.

"Well, but it won't be there soon, because I've already given you the seal."

"Give it to me?" Xu Shijie pointed at himself and was not surprised. When did the second brother give him such an important thing, but he didn't know.

"Is your birthday gift still on you?" Chonglou asked.

Xu Shijie lifted his sleeves and wrists were wearing the bracelet given to him by Chonglou.

He looked at it, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Chonglou, "Second brother, are you saying that the beads with carved patterns on the bracelet in my hand are seals."

"Well, the biggest one in the middle is." Chonglou nodded.

Xu Shijie raised his wrist and looked at the beads again and again. Each bead was engraved with a pattern, but the other beads were newly engraved with traces. Only the biggest one in the middle was not. The pattern on it looked like a winning character written in ancient text, and there was also a scent of ink mud between the patterns.

"Second brother actually put such an important seal on me?" Xu Shijie only used the word "letting" and dared not say it, because he really couldn't believe it. Even the eldest brother didn't hesitate to break his brother's affection. The second brother actually gave it to him as a birthday gift. To be honest, when he first heard the four words of Yongfeng Money House, he was indeed shocked by the wealth represented by these four words, but if he really thought about it and chose it, he would definitely not choose wealth. The second brother could give him this seal easily, and he could return the seal to his second brother without hesitation.

"Second brother, this is back to you." Xu Shijie thought of it and did it, pulled off the bracelet and put it on Chonglou's hand.

"No, this thing does not belong to me, I just borrowed it temporarily. I gave it to you but didn't tell you the meaning of it because I still need a money house. But I gave myself a deadline. Before I gave you the seal, I used it to print a hundred blank letters. When these hundred letters were used up, it was the time when I completely returned Xu Baisheng's Yongfeng Money House to the Xu family. At that time, I believed that I had the ability to protect the Xu family, protect you and your elder brother, and fulfill my promise to Xu Baisheng."

"But, my elder brother should have been gone at that time." Xu Shijie said quietly, very sad.

"No, my brother must be fine. My brother was just sentenced to Qiu Hou execution, but there are still several months left before Qiu, and I think it should be too late." Chonglou said.

"It's time? What are you doing? Is the second brother trying to rob the prison?" Xu Shijie was stunned, but if the robbery could rescue the eldest brother, he thought he would go there too.

"It's not impossible to rob a prison, but it's not a good idea. If we three brothers escape to the world, can we give the wealth kingdom that Xu Baisheng worked hard to manage to give to others for free?"

"But this verdict has been made. What else can I do to save my elder brother besides robbing the prison?" Xu Shijie leaned back sadly.

Chonglou smiled slightly and said to Xu Shijie: "The robbery of prison is not feasible, but the great imperial edict can be feasible. Do you know that even if you are sentenced to Qiuhou beheading, as long as it is not a crime of disobedience, you will be released without guilt when encountering the great imperial edict."

"Great Imperial?" Xu Shijie was excited, but he was depressed in a blink of an eye. How could the big imperial edict be so easy? During the 23 years of the emperor's reign, the big imperial edict had been three times in total, one was to ascend the throne, two was to marry, and three was to the birth of a little prince. But now, how could there be any great joy that the emperor issued a great imperial edict in the world?"

"Don't worry, there will be a great event in late summer and early autumn. At that time, there will be a great imperial edict in the world, and the eldest brother will be acquitted." Chonglou shook his eyes at Xu Shijie confidently.

"How could the second brother know that there will be a great imperial edict then?" Xu Shijie didn't believe it.

"He said that my second brother has friends in the capital. On a good day in late summer and early autumn, the prince's wedding will be announced. Then the emperor will announce the world's imperial edict. Wouldn't the elder brother be released?"

"Are you really that?"

"When did the second brother fool you?"

"Well, that's great, that's great brother." Xu Shijie was so excited that he folded his hands together and prayed.

After Xu Shicong's affairs turned around, Xu Shijie thought of another thing.

"By the way, second brother, I really don't want to vomit." Xu Shijie frowned.

"What's the matter? Tell me, second brother, listen. No matter what I say, I promise not to hit you." Chonglou said with a smile.

Xu Shijie's cheeks bulged into a bun and said, "Hmph, it's the matter that you call your father. Although my father did say in public that you were born Menglong and could not call him father, and that this would make him live a long life. But now that my father has passed away for a long time, why do you still call your father Juhui? Every time I hear you call your father directly, I feel so weird. Can't you call him Father, be more kind?"

Chonglou scratched his head embarrassedly, "But this is Xu...oh, what he told me during his lifetime, I can't be disrespectful after he dies."

Xu Shijie nodded, "Anyway, I just can't listen to it, so how can I make my son call him a father Ju Hui? My father was confused for a while, and you were still confused for the rest of your life. I really convinced you both."

What else Chonglou wanted to say? He heard a delicate voice outside the door.

"Young Master Xu, it's time for you to take medicine."

What came in was licorice, holding a bowl of steaming but black potion in his hand.

"Hey, what's this? Take it away quickly, I won't drink it!" Xu Shijie covered his nose and retreated to the headboard, but his back was already against the headboard, so where could there be room for retreat?

Chonglou smiled and said to Licorice: "I've left this here to you, I'll go to the yard to work hard."

After saying that, he stood up and left. Xu Shijie wanted to catch it, but only grabbed the air that was thrown by half the tube.

"Second brother, don't leave. Save me. I don't drink such bitter things. It's even more uncomfortable than stabbing them with a knife."

The Xu family is naturally sensitive, so drinking bitter medicine is indeed as uncomfortable as being tortured.

"A good medicine is good for the disease. Shijie, listen carefully to Sister Licorice and drink all the medicine."

Chonglou stopped doing this chore of persuading others, and threw his sleeves and ran out.

Xu Shijie was left hiding at the head of the bed, looking at licorice with a pitiful look on his face.

"Good sister, can you not take medicine?"

Licorice smiled, "No."

He shook his waist gently, walked to the bed, put the tray in his hand in front of Xu Shijie, and licorice blinked at Xu Shijie and said, "Well, look. There is medicine on the left, water on the right, and two candied fruits in the middle. You can pick up the medicine first, then tilt your head and drink it, then drink some water to rinse your mouth, and finally hold two candied fruits in your mouth. Keep it in mind for a while and forget the bitterness of the medicine."

Xu Shijie pinched his nose and pulled his face, glanced at the bowl of black things, and spoke in a heavy nasal voice.

"It's simple, take a sip and show me."

Licorice put the tray on his legs, picked up the medicine bowl and raised his head and blew it. After that, she wiped her mouth, held the bowl with one hand and put the other hand on the hips and said to Xu Shijie like a hero: "I've drunk it, it's you."

After saying that, he put the medicine bowl in front of Xu Shijie.

As if he was shocked by the heroic spirit of licorice, Xu Shijie took the bowl from licorice in a daze and slowly drank the medicine juice in the bowl.

"When you finish drinking, drink some water to rinse your mouth."

Seeing that Xu Shijie had finished drinking, he was still holding a bowl and watching her. He didn't know how to change another bowl, so he quickly took the initiative and put the medicine bowl into his hand with a bowl of clean water. Xu Shijie drank it again, but he drank it all in one go.

"Oh, it's good to rinse your mouth with this clean water. You don't have to drink too much. You're so stupid. Take two more candied fruits."

Licorice stuffed candied fruit into Xu Shijie's mouth and asked, "Is it sweet?"

"Sweet." Xu Shijie said.

"It's good to be sweet." Licorice lowered her head and smiled shyly, put away the bowl and ran out the door.

As soon as she walked to the door, she turned around and said, "Uh, that... Actually, I'm only fifteen, and I'm at the end of the year, so I can't count your sister."

Xu Shijie was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "I am also fifteen, but I am the oldest, so I must be older than you."

Licorice covered her mouth and smiled, the red clouds on her face became even more intense, her eyebrows and eyes looked at Xu Shijie again, and suddenly rushed out.

Mo Xiao had just dealt with the patient in the outer hall and was about to come to see Xu Shijie. As soon as she reached the door, she almost got hit by the licorice that ran out. Fortunately, she is good at light skills now, and she is especially good at dodging skills, so she almost avoided the licorice's bear hug.

"Silly girl, no one is chasing you, why are you doing so fast?" Mo Xiao was about to criticize Licorice, but he saw that she had already run away.

Haha, this is almost up to her.

Until he walked into the room and saw Xu Shijie with a flushed face, Mo Xiao seemed to understand that someone's spring has arrived.
