Chapter 892 Brother Liu's sister? (ask for a monthly ticket! or2)

Dusk, on the beach.

The stars are twinkling high in the sky.

After Chen Jiaxin and her group left, the place became somewhat quiet.

Lu Jinghong looked unconvinced, and broke the silence with a murmur:

"Could it be a self-torture tactic? Could it be that regarding the chicken soup incident, there is something hidden from the Lady that we don't know about? Did Chen Jiaxin know something in advance and come here to show her concession?"

Sha Ergou scratched his head: "I don't know, but those two slaps were pretty heavy, it didn't seem like an act."

Yu Mili didn't say anything. She glanced at Sister Song and found that she was staring at the direction where Chen Jiaxin left. She didn't know what she was thinking.

She turned to look at Ouyang Rong, smiled and praised:
"Brother Liu handled the situation very well just now. My mother often praises Sister Song, saying that she is calm when faced with big things. I think Brother Liu and Sister Song are somewhat similar. When things happen, they always give people a sense of stability and security."

Lu Jinghong felt a little uncomfortable holding the sword, so he changed his posture, turned his head and muttered:

"Brother Liu handled the situation well, but he is a bit of a pushover. He seems to have a very good temper and will never get angry no matter who comes and provokes him.

"Well, it's fine to deal with the chicken soup issue this way, but if you encounter something that touches on principles in the future, you can't do it this way. This is what my aunt said before... I've always kept it in mind.

"Of course, I don't have a good temper either. If Xiao Lanlan and Chen Jiaxin try to provoke me, I'll know it's not that easy to let it go."

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Song Zhian and discovered that she and Miss Yu seemed to be looking over there together. Lu Jinghong thought that she was looking at him, so he raised his head even higher and held his sword.

Li Wan came back to her senses, ignored her son's polite words which were too familiar to her, and looked at the dull young man standing next to her son with some appreciation.

"Although I don't know exactly what happened, but as Jinghong said, Brother Liang's handling of the situation just now was quite safe."

After a pause, she asked casually:

"Brother Liang must have been out making a living very early, and he must be the head of the family at home, right?"

Ouyang Rong nodded slightly:

"Yes. My mother is seriously ill and has been bedridden for the past two years. My sister is young and needs care, but she can do some manual work and has been helping out since early on. She is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed."

Sha Ergou felt the same way: "Brother Liu has worked hard. My sister is the same. She always takes care of me..."

Miss Yu's focus was slightly different, and she suddenly realized:

"It turns out that just now in the Dripping Water Cave, in front of Master Tang and the others, Brother Liu was not completely making it up. He really did have a younger sister, and he wanted to take chicken soup and peaches out to nourish her body. Brother Liu is really a good brother. Any girl who gets to meet Brother Liu is considered lucky for eight lifetimes."

Lu Jinghong couldn't help but complain:
"What do you mean by taking chicken soup and peaches with you? Jianze is so big that it took us a long time to get here last time. If Senior Sister Xi hadn't come to notify us in the morning, Brother Liu would have gone down the mountain and left Jianze as usual. By the time he got ashore and returned to Taoyuan Town, the chicken soup would have been cold and the peaches would have gone bad."

He curled his lips, raised his chin and said:

"And don't forget, when we first arrived on the lake, we also experienced a large area of ​​poison barrier. The chicken soup and peach meat have entered the poison barrier, so we definitely can't eat them...

"So, you really believed what Brother Liu said at the time? Didn't you see that Brother Liu didn't mention it later? Miss Yu is so naive, so naive that she is a little cute."

"Ah, so that's it..."

Yu Mili was a little unhappy about Lu Jinghong's sarcastic remarks, but she and Sha Ergou couldn't help but look at Ouyang Rong, scratching their heads in a daze.

Lu Jinghong reached out, patted Ouyang Rong's shoulder heavily, and said earnestly:

"Brother Liu, there is no need to say more. I understand you and can adapt to circumstances... If I were in that situation, I wouldn't necessarily do much better than you."

He changed the subject and nodded calmly:

“However, after reviewing the incident carefully, I have to say that your reason for giving the hairtail soup to Ah Mei was a bit far-fetched. If someone had investigated it as carefully as I did, it would have been a disaster. I almost got caught.

"Now that I think about it, it's a good thing that the Six Lady Lords came and attracted Xiao Lanlan and the others' attention. Otherwise, they would have pestered me with questions again, which would have been really disgusting."

Ouyang Rong still shook his head:
"That's not the case. Brother Lu misunderstood. I really prepared chicken soup and peaches for my sister, so it's not convenient to share them with everyone. I'm a little embarrassed. Miss Yu seems to be paying attention to me..."

Lu Jinghong turned his head to look at his sincere profile, waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, Brother Liu. We are not in the Dripping Cave anymore. We are all back now. We are all family here. My mother is very tight-lipped. We can talk openly about some things."

Miss Yu nodded and agreed:
"That's right, and the chicken soup incident is over. Xiao Lanlan has already admitted defeat and doesn't dare to make a fuss anymore. So what if they hear the truth I told them?"

Sha Ergou also grinned and muttered:

"Hehe, it's mainly because Big Brother Liu likes to have a stern face and doesn't talk much. Sometimes I can't figure out when Big Brother Liu is serious and when he's joking. They all feel the same. So I usually believe it first and then say it. Just like today, I didn't think much about it, hahaha."

He couldn't help but sigh:
"...Now I see that Brother Liu is sometimes very flexible, which is better than me. When I lie, my face turns red and my eyes dodge around. It's obvious that I'm guilty, especially when there are many people around.

"My sister used to say that I can't hide things at all, unlike Brother Liu. Today, in front of Master Tang and the others, he made up my sister's story to help us get rid of the blame. I didn't blush at the time, and I almost believed it."

Li Wan's eyes were still on the direction where Chen Jiaxin left. She looked like she was thinking about something, but she didn't miss the words of the people around her. At this moment, she came back to her senses a little, smiled, and praised:
"Brother Liang's good point is that he keeps his mouth shut and never leaks anything. He is a man who can do great things. It's a waste of his talent to just be a cook."

Yu Mili echoed, “That’s right, that’s right!”

Sha Ergou immediately complained and waved his fist: "It's just a bone age, but it's so tight."

Everyone nodded and felt sorry for him.

Ouyang Rong looked helplessly at the indignant Sha Ergou.

Apart from the carefree Yu Mili, Lu Jinghong and Li Wan probably just said it and expressed their pity for him. Only you seemed to take it seriously. You are too honest.

It's a very simple truth. The reason why Li Wan and Lu Jinghong, mother and son, had the leisure to feel sorry for him was because Lu Jinghong himself entered the Bamboo Hall with the first place among men. He was already in a high position. When he was "full and satisfied", he naturally had extra sympathy to pity his companions who were not selected.

It’s like only the rich and well-fed have the extra energy to sympathize with or even give alms to the hungry and poor.

If you fail to be selected and are hungry and in trouble, see if others are in the mood to feel sorry for you. At that time, you may become a psychological comfort to them.

Ouyang Rong shook his head. In fact, he didn't care about these subtle emotions between the boy and the girl, including the excessive self-esteem and arrogance just displayed by Chen Jiaxin. He just watched it quietly.

This kind of mentality is not condescending, it is just a gentle observation, sometimes laughing, sometimes finding it very interesting and cute.

So, he always tells the truth.

Ouyang Rong looked around at everyone and emphasized again:

"Everyone is so nice, but I really have a sister, and she's here too..."

When everyone heard his words and saw his serious expression, they all smiled. "Okay, okay, Brother Liu is right..."

"Well, Brother Liu is too tight-lipped..."

"In fact, some of what she said is true."

At this moment, Song Zhian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's joking conversation.

"what?"

"What is Sister Song talking about? What's wrong?"

Lu Jinghong, Yu Mili and Sha Ergou all looked at Song Zhian in confusion.

Ouyang Rong also stopped explaining and turned to look.

Song Zhian did not participate in Brother Liu's topic of "making a sister out of nothing" and simply skipped it. She looked very serious and said to everyone solemnly:
"I recalled carefully that during the time I've been in Jianze, although Chen Jiaxin likes to form cliques and have a bunch of sisters from the nine surnames surround her, she doesn't seem to have done anything to hurt others.

“Whether it was the first three assessments, I was always suppressed by Miss Liu Qing, or Yu Mili and I didn’t give her face, didn’t cooperate with her, and damaged her prestige. She seemed to just speak to her face and give her a cold shoulder, but never tripped me up in private.

"In fact, I was worried when I offended her at the beginning, but I didn't get any revenge later, except for Xiao Lanlan's complaint today. But she was not here either. It seems that she went to the Queen's place to become her disciple...

"To be honest, she just said with a proud look on her face that she disdains to play tricks in private and even considers it shameful... There is really nothing wrong with what she said."

Miss Yu, who was originally the most dissatisfied with Chen Jiaxin's daughters, also looked thoughtful after hearing this:
“It seems to be true… well, especially that Miss Liu Qing, who looks delicate and gentle, with a good temper, but her performance in every assessment is really abnormal, and she suppresses herself every time throughout the whole process.

"But Chen Jiaxin seemed to... well, it's true that she never led the team to bully others, and the majority never bullied the minority.

"Even when she tried to find out the other person's results after the test, she was very roundabout... I could tell that she was holding her breath and wanted to overpower the other person, but unfortunately she was disappointed every time... But she didn't use any tricks. This sister of the Chen family is quite particular about what she does."

Song Zhian nodded slowly and smiled:
"Yes, that's right. It's true. Mili, do you feel the same way? It seems my analysis is correct."

She turned her head and said to Ouyang Rong and others:

"At least for now, apart from her annoying personality, her words and actions are consistent. So, she may not have lied about Brother Liu's matter. It was indeed Xiao Lanlan's selfish act. She did not authorize or instruct in advance. After all..."

She paused, tilted her head and said:

"I was selected into Qiutang at the same time as she became a disciple of the Five Lady Sovereigns. If she wanted to go to the Five Lady Sovereigns, she would not have time to give instructions."

Yu Mili nodded: "That makes sense, but it's still very...very annoying."

"Yes, people dislike it." Sha Ergou corrected him in his dialect, and then he was silent for a while.

Lu Jinghong also frowned slightly.

Li Wan kept smiling.

She asked with some interest:

"Jinghong, this girl named Chen Jiaxin, is she one of the two girls you mentioned before who has topped the three levels and has been selected as the female monarch's disciple?"

Lu Jinghong nodded: "That's right." Then he asked: "Why do you ask this, mother?"

"It's okay. I just think she has a lot of personality. By the way, where is she from?"

Lu Jinghong said sullenly, "He's also from Taoyuan Town."

"Well, it's quite a coincidence that our family's ancestors were also from Taoyuan Town."

Li Wan joked, and her colleague took out a plate of pastries and motioned for everyone to have a taste.

Everyone looked at him sideways when they heard this, and Lu Jinghong wanted to say something but stopped.

Yu Mili patted her chest and said, "Madam Li, my family is also from Taoyuan Town, and your ancestors are the same as mine!"

Li Wan: ...

Lu Jinghong, Song Zhian: ...

Ouyang Rong nodded secretly. It is you who deserves to be the one. Yu Mili
Li Wan pretended not to hear and changed the subject:

"Just like Miss Song said, this girl is not a bad person, but she is arrogant and proud. She disdains to use any tricks. It is very difficult to win her eye. In your class, there is probably only one girl who can completely convince her, and that is the disciple selected by another female monarch, the Miss Liu Qing you mentioned."

Yu Mili interrupted with a crisp voice:
"Of course, Miss Liu Qing is the top student of this session. She is much better than her in every assessment. How can she be so arrogant in front of Miss Liu Qing? She should just bow her head.

Moreover, Miss Liu Qing is now the direct disciple of the eldest lady, while she is only the disciple of the fifth lady, so she is one level lower in terms of master-disciple relationship."

Song Zhian nodded slightly, with a complicated look in her eyes:

"Miss Liu Qing is indeed a well-deserved genius. It is a blessing for us to meet her in this class. Not only us, but even a girl like Chen Jiaxin has to be humble."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinghong nodded in agreement, with a look of longing in his eyes:
"Speaking of which, after the assessment in the secret room during the day, I saw Miss Liu Qing when I came out. However, we were too far away at the time and I couldn't see her face clearly. I only saw her thin and weak figure, with a very quiet temperament from behind, standing in the front..."

He touched his chin and sighed:
"I'm not being overbearing at all. If you hadn't said it was her, I wouldn't have thought of it at all. By the way, does she really have a tattoo on her forehead?"

Sha Ergou, who was standing by, also listened in curiously.

"Uh-huh."

Miss Yu nodded vigorously, looking like a little fangirl:

"In fact, I almost talked to her. I called her and she looked back and seemed to smile at me. Hehe, I really want to get to know her and talk to her...

"It's a pity that she wants to be with the eldest lady. Besides, there must be many girls and senior sisters in the sect who want to make friends with her. We can't make it. Well, I guess Sister Song should be able to do it... Sister Song is in Qiutang, maybe we can meet her occasionally."

Yu Mili, who was originally very excited, now sounded a little depressed.

Song Zhian pondered for a moment, nodded slightly, and said in full agreement:

"That's not the case. However, if we meet her up close, I will make friends with her for you. In fact, I also want to ask her some advice."

Ouyang Rong couldn't help but look at them after hearing this...
