Yun Yao looked at the table and saw that there were still dishes that had not been served: "Why haven't they been served yet? I'll go and urge them to serve the dishes." Yun Yao jumped out of the door to urge them to serve the dishes.
In the exquisite corridor, walked Fu Minghui and Yi Jixuan. Today, the Fu family was also having a dinner here.
Recently, Yi Jixuan has been busy decorating his new house and handling business, and he rarely meets the Fu family. Last time at the Mid-Autumn Festival, he also took the ticket to meet the sons of high officials. After getting to know them, he invited those young men to come down the mountain and go to the brothel to have fun.
It was not until the next day that he learned that a big incident had occurred. Fortunately, none of the young men he invited were from noble families involved in the case, otherwise he would have been implicated as well.
The house has been renovated recently and the new store has opened. Yi Jixuan thought about treating the three brothers of the Fu family to a meal to strengthen their relationship and express his gratitude.
Fu Minghui and Yi Jixuan came over, talking and laughing. Yi Jixuan also smiled and teased Fu Minghui: "When can I drink the wine at Third Brother's wedding? I will also benefit from it and become a royal relative."
Fu Minghui smiled naively, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Where is our crispy chicken!" A loud shout immediately attracted Fu Minghui's attention.
He looked towards the direction of the voice as if he had been electrocuted. That cute, playful, yet beautiful face immediately touched his heart and made him unable to move. Even after that figure disappeared from his sight, his heartbeat was still not steady, and his mind seemed to have followed her.
Yi Jixuan looked at Yun Yao who had returned to the box, then at Fu Minghui, lowered his eyes and smiled, his eyes already knowing: "Miss Yun Yao is indeed beautiful, but the people of the Nine Gates... I advise you to stay away from them." Yi Jixuan gently tapped Fu Minghui's throbbing chest with his folding fan, "Besides, you've made me focus on the princess."
"No hurry, no hurry..." Fu Minghui slowly regained his composure, turned to Yi Jixuan and smiled brightly, "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Wait until I marry the princess, and then I'll marry Yun Yao."
Yi Jixuan laughed in surprise and opened his folding fan: "I didn't expect that my third brother is such a romantic man, haha, my third brother is really more like Lord Lin Xiang, hahaha-"
Fu Minghui smiled shyly this time. No matter how you look at him, he is a kind and humble boy.
Suddenly, Fu Mingrui came hurriedly from behind them, his clothes were still a little wet, as if he had been caught in the rain.
Yi Jixuan saw Fu Mingrui and saw that he was in a hurry and a little dazed, as if something had hit him hard and made him a little dispirited.
There was already doubt in his eyes, because Fu Mingrui was never like this. He always had bright eyes, was shrewd and capable, and acted decisively. He would never look so panic-stricken as Yi Fu.
"Second brother!" Fu Minghui happily stepped forward when he saw Fu Mingrui.
But Fu Mingrui was obviously not in the mood at the moment. He grabbed Fu Minghui's arm in a confused mood and asked, "Where's my brother?"
"We're already in the box." Fu Minghui pointed to the elegant box at the end.
Fu Mingrui nodded, bowed to Yi Jixuan, and hurried forward. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and pulled Fu Minghui with him. When he passed Yi Jixuan, he whispered, "Brother-in-law, I have something to tell you. Please wait outside."
Fu Minghui was slightly surprised. What happened to his second brother? Not only did he look hurried, but he also suddenly became serious.
Yi Jixuan was a businessman after all, and he noticed something was wrong with Fu Mingrui earlier than Fu Minghui. It was obvious that something was wrong with the Fu family, so he kept his distance. He smiled and said, "I'm just about to go order some food, you guys can chat first." Yi Jixuan smiled and left. Businessmen are good at finding a way out for themselves to make everyone feel comfortable.
When Fu Mingrui saw Yi Jixuan leaving, he grabbed Fu Minghui and walked quickly towards the box, but he didn't know that Yi Jixuan stopped after every few steps. When Fu Mingrui entered the box, he turned back and stood outside the box to listen quietly.
In the box, Fu Mingsu was delighted to see Fu Mingrui coming in. The three brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time. Although the three brothers lived under the same roof, Fu Mingsu was busy with business every day, while Fu Mingrui often worked all night at the Eight Gates. Although the third brother was back, he was ordered to pursue the princess, so he often took the little princess out to play.
Today, the three brothers can finally meet and talk.
"Brother!" Fu Mingrui shouted loudly, startling Fu Mingsui who was coming towards him. He looked at Fu Mingrui in surprise: "Second brother, what happened? Why are you so serious?" Fu Mingsui looked at Fu Minghui on the side.
Fu Minghui shrugged, also looking puzzled.
Fu Mingrui took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and lowered his voice: "Brother, the Nine Gates know about your collusion with Gongzi Hong."
Fu Mingsu was startled, but he was the eldest son of the Fu family after all, and his demeanor was extraordinary. He quickly calmed down, put away his surprised look, sat back in his seat slowly, and poured himself a cup of tea.
The atmosphere that should have been warm between brothers suddenly became silent because of Fu Mingrui's words.
Fu Minghui looked at Fu Mingrui cautiously, then at Fu Mingsuo, and then quietly walked to the side and sat down, as if he knew that this was a matter between his eldest and second brothers, and it would be better for him to avoid it.
"Do they know Gongzi Hong?" Fu Mingsui picked up the teacup, his eyes deep.
Fu Mingrui had never been so impetuous as he was today, and it was difficult for him to calm down. He looked at Fu Mingsu impatiently: "Yes! Big brother! You and father should stop it! I really don't want to see anything happen to you!"
"It seems that our recent affairs have worried you, hum." Fu Mingsu smiled coldly and looked up at Fu Mingrui, "So what do you think now? Are you going to help that Miss Lian, or... us?"
Fu Mingsu's eyes flashed with coldness, and his usual doting on Fu Mingrui was gone.
Disappointment appeared on Fu Mingrui's face. He sneered: "Oh, Miss Lian, why does she need my help? She knows every step you and father take, and every step of Young Master Hong. You should be grateful to her for not killing you!" Fu Mingrui's voice became deeper, and his third brother Fu Minghui, who was sitting next to him, was so frightened that his face tensed.
Fu Minghui didn't expect that the rivalry between his elder brother and second brother would be like this. The cold and tense atmosphere between them made him feel a little breathless.
"What did you say?" Fu Mingsui's eyes were filled with anger.
Fu Mingrui lost control instantly. He was worried about them, but they still suspected him of betrayal. He immediately became angry and slammed the table: "I didn't say anything! I know all the things you did were told by Youyou! The painting! The piano! The things with the Third Prince! The National Temple! And the plan to launch a surprise attack on the Nine Gates while all the members were dispatched! It was all told to me by Youyou!"
The teacup in Fu Mingsui's hand shook, and the tea gradually spilled out of the cup.
Fu Mingrui snatched the teacup from Fu Mingsu's hand and threw it hard on the ground. It broke into pieces with a "bang". Fu Minghui's face tensed up and Yi Jixuan outside the door was also startled! (To be continued)
