After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 148: When You Fall Asleep, Someone Would Give You a Pillow

Just like that, Xi Rui came to the Liang family's house to play Mahjong for the next few days. On this day, after playing Mahjong in the afternoon and having dinner, Liang Youxiao sent away a few other hedonistic sons from the capital who had tagged along.

This left him with Xi Rui.

Although XI Rui was also a hedonistic son, so he wasn't stupid. "Do you have something to tell me?"

Liang Youxiao smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we sat together to talk.

"I want to venture into business, but my father objected to it. I'm so frustrated and wanted to share my inner thoughts with you."

Xi Rui threw him a helpless look. "I really can't help you with this, my brother. If I were to venture into business, my father would probably beat me too."

Liang Youxiao raised his glass and took a sip. "Forget it. Let's not talk about this irritating matter."

He seemed to have inadvertently found a topic to ask, "By the way, has your relationship with the Xiao family eased up?"

Xi Rui pursed his lips. "Eased up my ass.

"My men beat up Xiao Yuanshi's brother-in-law last month, so Xiao Yuanshi secretly tipped my father who ended up giving me two strokes of cane."

Recalling this also angered him.

Liang Youxiao's smile deepened. "Why did you beat up his brother-in-law?"

Xi Rui said disdainfully, "That guy was already so arrogant when he was in the academy. He thinks that he will become a martial scholar in the future.

"He looked down on other hedonists and I in the academy.

"I was drinking wine at a restaurant on another occasion and happened to meet him, so I sneered disdainfully.

"He actually dared to say that a hedonist like me was good-for-nothing and only knew how to eat, drink, and play. If it weren't for my family background, I would just be a nobody.

"In a fit of anger, I got someone to beat him up and break his writing hand."

Liang Youxiao seemed to have a common enemy with him. "He was expelled from the academy and had a bad character. How dare he say that we are good for nothing? Who gave him the courage?"

Xi Rui snorted. "Of course, Xiao Yuanshi gave him the courage to do so."

Liang Youxiao asked curiously, "How did Xiao Yuanshi scheme you such that your father would whip you up?"

To be given two lashes under the protection of Old Lady Xi meant that the matter wasn't trivial. Xi Rui said angrily, "When I went out to play, a woman suddenly hugged my leg on the street and said that she was pregnant with my child.

"Not only was I criticized, but my father gave me two lashes without any reason. "Fortunately, my grandmother came in time. Otherwise, it would definitely be at least ten lashes."

"Pfft!" Liang Youxiao couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of wine. "You don't know that woman?" Xi Rui rolled his eyes. "I don't know her at all. It would be strange if I fell for such an ugly woman."

Moreover, he had never been interested in women.

He only liked to eat, drink and play.

Liang Youxiao asked playfully, "You figured out that Xiao Yuanshi was the one who did it?"

If you are sleepy, someone will give you a pillow.

Xi Rui replied, "I found out his wife did that.

"There were many obstacles and detours during the investigation. That woman created a lot of dead ends and had a lot of middlemen involved in this.

"Actually it was my father's men who went to investigate.

"They discovered it after consolidating all the clues.

"Other aristocratic families really wouldn't be able to find out who is behind this."

He snorted again. "But I will definitely settle this debt with Xiao Yuanshi. After all, without his support, would that woman dare to do it?"

Liang Youxiao asked, "You didn't take revenge?"

Xi Rui was angry at the mention of this. "Not yet. My father told me not to go out and cause trouble."

Liang Youxiao raised his eyebrows. "You have been schemed against, and your father doesn't help you vent your anger?"

Xi Rui sighed. "My father said that I was the one who started the trouble and broke his brother-in-law's hand. In the future, he might not be able to hold a pen or a weapon, so I deserve to bear the consequences.

"But even if he said so verbally, he definitely won't just let the matter rest like this."

"It just so happens that recently, Xiao Yuanshi seems to be highly valued by the emperor, so it's not easy for my family to make a move on him.

"I haven't settled my engagement yet. After this, how would a good family marry their daughter to me?"

Liang Youxiao thought to himself, even if this event didn't happen, no good family would marry their daughter to you.

However, Xiao Yuanshi's petite wife was definitely more than being vicious, she was also very courageous.

For the sake of her younger brother, she actually dared to disturb Xi Rui.

It seemed that she really valued her little brother very much.

No wonder she wanted people to kill Shi Qingluo and destroy Xiao Hanzheng. She probably still wanted to take revenge.

Shi Qingluo had instigated the old Xiao family to stir trouble and caused her younger brother to be expelled from the academy.

However, that woman was still too naive and self-righteous.

Did she really think that the public administrator's house was just a joke and that they wouldn't be able to find out who disturbed their beloved young master?
