My eunuch An is a yandere

Chapter 77: Start with Brothers

Bai Ningwei never found out who Bai Liangchuan liked.

She had limited time and couldn't leave the table for too long. Since Bai Liangchuan refused to say anything, she could only let him go for the time being.

The brother and sister returned to the table one after another, and finally when the banquet was over, they went their separate ways.

Returning to the empty bedroom, Bai Ningwei was not sad today. Instead, she walked to the desk, picked up a brush and started writing and drawing.

She is making a derivation diagram.

Bai Liangchuan didn't say it, but she could guess.

The Bai family has no relatives in the capital, and Bai Liangchuan's life is almost confined to two places: the mansion and the bookstore.

There are only a few people I can reach.

Judging from the summary of various intelligence, the person he had the most contact with was Chen Xu, followed by An Jiu and Wang Ling.

Bai Ningwei looked back and forth between Chen Xu and Wang Ling's names, and came to a not-so-pleasant conclusion.

Either his brother has a homosexual relationship with someone else, or his brother likes someone else's wife.

After all, Chen Xu presented himself as a man, and there was no news that she was going to be exposed.

However, both of these inferences are somewhat immoral.

Bai Ningwei crumpled up the paper, patted her head, and went back to sleep. She must have been overthinking it. Maybe her elder brother had met some young girl somewhere else, probably some Tofu Xishi or Wonton Xishi.

He was afraid that he would disagree, so he didn't dare to say it.

On the other side, Bai Liangchuan finally waited until the banquet was over. He carried the food box he had asked the palace maid for and walked quickly to the palace gate. Bai Shan was already waiting for him with a carriage.

"Sir, what is the palace banquet like? Did you meet the Empress?"

Baishan had a lot of questions. He had been to the palace twice but had never been inside. He was very curious.

"Hurry up and get in the car. My food is getting cold."

Bai Liangchuan lifted the curtain and got into the car.

Baishan pursed his lips and said unhappily.

"Sir, why are you in such a hurry? Not to mention that the roads are full of carriages and you can't go fast. Even if you can fly home immediately, Master Chen is not at the mansion."

"Why isn't Chen Xu in the mansion?"

Bai Liangchuan lifted the carriage curtain again, a look of disbelief on his face. Where could he be on New Year's Day if he wasn't at home?

Chen Xu naturally returned to his home.

It was not convenient for her to go home in the past, but now it is the New Year, so she has to go back no matter what.

At this moment, she was sitting in the main hall with her father, mother and her eldest brother, keeping watch, eating dumplings and watching fireworks.

"Xinxin, half a year has already passed in the blink of an eye. Daddy plans to meet you at the bookstore in a few days and adopt you as his son. You can also move back home soon. Living in someone else's house every day makes Daddy sad."

Chen Xinxin was still wearing men's clothes at this moment. She drank the wine in the glass and smiled relaxedly.

"Don't be sad, Daddy. I have my own courtyard in the Bai Mansion, and I don't feel wronged living there."

"There's not even anyone to serve."

Mother Chen took her daughter's hand and held it lovingly.

"A girl's hands are her face. Look, they're all rough."

"Mother, even if I come back, I can't hire a maid. Besides, although my hands are rough, I don't feel sad about it. On the contrary, my hands can do many things now."

Seeing that his sister's horizons have broadened and she is no longer confined to the mentality of a little girl, Chen Tong is very happy for her.

"Father and Mother, don't be sad. My sister is going to do great things, and we should be happy for her."

But Chen's mother was not happy. All the other girls from the same batch had already married and found homes, while her daughter might never again be able to rely on anyone. Even if she became a court lady in the princess's mansion, it would only be superficially glamorous. If given a choice, who would remain single for life?

On this New Year's Eve, the Chen family felt mixed emotions.

Bai Liangchuan looked at the pastries in the food box that were gradually getting cold, feeling dejected.

"How come I don't know Chen Xu's friends? He was so careless to go to someone else's house to celebrate the New Year, not even afraid of disturbing others."

"He usually tells me about the complicated relationships between families in the capital and how strict the etiquette is. How can he just casually go to someone else's house to celebrate the New Year?"

"I brought him all the royal delicacies and wine, but now they're all cold."

Bai Liangchuan was sitting alone in the main hall, muttering to himself, while outside the official and his servants were setting off fireworks.

Under the colorful trees and silver flowers, Bai Liangchuan was sulking because he couldn't wait for the brother he wanted to see the most, and drank all the imperial wine by himself.

When Chen Xu came back the next day, Bai Shan dragged him into Bai Liangchuan's yard.

"Baishan, slow down, let go."

This was Chen Xu's first time entering Bai Liangchuan's courtyard. It was against etiquette, so he didn't want to go in at all.

"Master Chen, please be kind. Yesterday you said you were going to a new friend's house to celebrate the New Year, which really hurt my master's heart. He even brought you some palace snacks, but you didn't come back all night. He got sulking and got drunk, and he's still acting like a spoiled brat and refusing to get out of bed."

"Then why did you pull me over here?"

Chen Xu snatched back his sleeve, not understanding what Bai Shan wanted to do.

"The Master said that he won't get up until you come back. This is your fault, and you have to clean up the mess."

Chen Xu felt that Bai Shan was just being unreasonable, but Bai Liangchuan in the room had already heard the noise and was lying on the bed groaning.

"Baishan, Baishan, my head hurts. I need some water. How did I get back last night?"

Bai Liangchuan shouted in the house with full energy, but it was unclear to those outside.

Baishan spread his hands, as if to say, "You see, if it weren't for you, would my young master have drunk so much on New Year's Eve?"

This was a bit of a rogue move, and Chen Xu was completely at a loss. Before she could figure out how to respond next, Bai Shan had already pushed her into the inner room.

Chen Xu quickly turned around and closed his eyes, fearing that he would see something he shouldn't see.

Bai Liangchuan heard the noise again, lifted the bed curtain and saw, hey, wasn’t it his good brother Chen Xu whom he had been looking forward to seeing so much?

"Ouch, I have a headache. Baishan, how much did I drink yesterday? Why didn't you stop me?"

Chen Xu felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. She had gone home to have New Year's Eve dinner yesterday and her family was together.

"Please get dressed and I'll get you some water."

"Chen Xu, you're finally back."

Bai Liangchuan pretended to have just discovered it and complained while putting on his clothes.

"I brought you some delicious food last night, but you weren't at home, leaving me waiting. But who is this friend you met? You actually went to his house to celebrate the New Year. This is very inconsistent with your usual cautious nature."

Bai Liangchuan kept muttering, and Chen Xu felt that he should take this opportunity to tell him about his plans to meet his relatives and move away after the New Year.

"I met a man named Chen, who has the same last name as me. We got along well and had similar interests, so we became sworn brothers..."

"What? You two have similar interests and have become brothers? Then you and I can't talk to each other, don't we have the same interests?"

Chen Xu was choked up. She just felt that it was a bit weird to directly say that she was adopted as her father's godparent, so she compromised and said they became sworn brothers. Why did Bai Liangchuan react so strongly?

"I don't care. If you can swear brotherhood with someone you just met, why don't you think of taking me with you?"

"No! Baishan, prepare your things. I want to become sworn brothers with Chen Xu, right now."

Chen Xu was dumbfounded. She couldn't understand why Bai Liangchuan was so eager to become sworn brothers with her. What a mess.
