Chapter 1543: 342, Fly, old bird! (One more)
Watching the two little guys simultaneously reveal such a weird smile, Xia Hen subconsciously shivered, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.
"You, you guys, what are you planning to do? You little rascals, I’m your uncle! If you dare to bully me, I, I’ll have your dad chop you up!"
Lin Yuan touched her nose, thinking, dragging your dad into a fight feels just like a little kid threatening to tattle to the teacher.
However, Xia Zheng clearly didn’t take his threat seriously.
Xia Zheng raised his eyebrows, a very smug look on his face as he squatted down with a giggle: "Oh, Uncle, why are you being shy? You say you’re old as bones, yet someone who doesn’t mind that came along, why are you still embarrassed?"
Xia Zheng rubbed his chin with interest and tilted his head, his imagination running wild.
"Hey, hey, tell me about my aunt-to-be, where is she from? Is she a widow or an old maid? I guess, probably a widow, right? Does she even have a little kid? Ahh, Uncle, you’ll get a cheap big treasure of a son even before you marry her. You’re really making a killing!"
Saying that, Xia Zheng slapped Xia Hen on the shoulder with the camaraderie of good brothers.
"Cough, cough! You little rascal!"
With a slap from Xia Zheng, Xia Hen immediately began coughing violently as if he’d been heavily injured, his eyes even reddened, glaring at him as if he wanted to devour him!
Watching the fun and chaos between the uncle and nephew, big and yet not quite so, Lin Yuan felt a headache coming on, wondering what kind of frustration Princess Anle and Xia Yuan must feel dealing with these two monkeys every day.
Just as she thought this, Lin Yuan suddenly heard Xia Hen calling out to her.
"Hey! Girl! You’re the Princess Pingxi, right? Wow, why just stand there watching? Hurry and rescue your uncle here! I’m telling you, as an elder, if I as your uncle don’t agree, don’t even think about stepping into the General Mansion’s door. Huh, hurry up and come over to please me? I won’t ask for any good gifts from you, just untie my ropes and drag this little beast away!"
Seeing Xia Hen directing her with such entitlement, Lin Yuan’s jaw nearly dropped.
Why did she feel like Xia Hen so deserved a beating?
Naturally, Xia Zheng was also not pleased, and with another slap on his shoulder, he chuckled, "Oh, I have to get my uncle’s agreement to find a wife? Then when you find a wife, do you have to get my agreement too?"
Xia Hen winced in pain, but his spirit was unyielding: "I am your uncle, I naturally have to screen them for you! No way, no way, you disrespectful youngster, how can you be allowed to marry?"
Saying that, Xia Hen winked at Lin Yuan: "Girl, this little rascal isn’t worthy of you, I’ll find you a better one another day! Let’s ditch this guy!"
Lin Yuan silently facepalmed, wondering, did this uncle really think it’s okay to talk like that in front of Xia Zheng?
"Hmm? Find a better one? Not worthy?"
Sure enough, Xia Zheng moved his wrists, his eyes slightly squinting, gleaming with dangerous light.
"Ah! Help! Big brother, sister-in-law! Your son is murdering his uncle!"
In the alley, the screams grew louder, echoing through the front courtyard, heard by all the maids and young servants.
But when they hurried over to see what happened, they all consciously turned their heads, pretending like the scene they just saw wasn’t witnessed with their own eyes.
The accounting room was next to the storeroom, so the Butler naturally heard the screams first. However, the old Butler shakily shivered his legs, and under Xia Zheng’s warning gaze, he quickly turned back to the accounting room to continue his accounting.
Inside the accounting room, the abacus beads clacked, but the old Butler had no idea what he was actually counting.
Who knows how long it was before Xia Hen’s screaming finally ceased, not because Xia Zheng let him go, but because he was too exhausted to scream anymore.
"Alright!"
Xia Zheng clapped his hands excitedly and jumped up.
Sitting on a large rock, Lin Yuan immediately leaned forward and peered over, and burst into laughter!
Originally, Xia Hen was tied up and sitting on the ground, but now he had completely changed his pose. His stomach on the ground, both legs and arms were tied behind his back with ropes, making a pose as if he was about to fly.
Not only that, but his snow-white robe was also pulled off by Xia Zheng, starting from the neck, it was wrapped around his arms and legs. His head tilted up high, and because of the robe, both his arms and legs had to be stretched out long, making him look pitiful like a bird with long white feathers.
Oh no, an old bird!
Xia Hen had already been weakened by this strange posture, he struggled to lift his head, his eyes half-closed and glaring weakly at Xia Zheng as a final threat.
"Stinky, stinky boy, hurry up and release me, release me."
Xia Zheng chuckled, enveloping the laughing Lin Yuan in his embrace and walked away, "Uncle, isn’t your qinggong very impressive? Just stay here being your little bird! Haha, look at these beautiful wings I’ve given you!"
Watching the carefree figures of the two leaving, Xia Hen bellowed in anger: "Stinky boy, just you wait! When you get married, see how I’ll deal with you!"
Now that the thief was found, Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan no longer worried about exposing themselves, and went straight to the living room to find Princess Anle.
Lin Yuan looked back with some concern and said, "Uncle in that state, he won’t have any problems, right?"
Although they didn’t meet often, she could tell that Xia Yuan was very fond of his younger brother. If he truly went to complain to Xia Yuan, wouldn’t Xia Zheng be locked up in the ancestral hall by his father again?
Xia Zheng wasn’t worried at all, hooked her delicate little nose, and smiled: "Don’t worry, that guy must have fallen for someone, but the person just doesn’t fancy him. That’s why he had to take things from home to please her. Tsk tsk, just you wait, someone as vain as him, if he isn’t sure that he can win that woman’s heart, he definitely wouldn’t want this to be known."
Lin Yuan nodded in agreement, Xia Hen was always threatening to complain to Xia Zheng, but just now the Butler and a few maids came, and this guy didn’t ask them to find Xia Yuan or Princess Anle.
Instead, he awkwardly turned his head away, as if he was very afraid of being noticed.
Glancing back sneakily, Xia Zheng smirked and said, "But, I’m quite curious about who could make such an iron tree blossom!"
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow but didn’t take it to heart, casually suggesting, "Didn’t you say uncle likes drinking? Maybe check out the vineyards in the Capital city!"
"The vineyard might be a possibility, but there are dozens of them big and small in the Capital city; it’s kind of tough to start searching."
Xia Zheng shrugged nonchalantly, pursing his lips slightly: "Who cares, whether he gets married or not isn’t my concern, we’ll just remember to create havoc in his wedding chamber! I’ll make sure this guy can’t leave the bed!"
As he talked about creating havoc in the wedding chamber, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle secretly, recalling Xia Hen’s resentful gaze as they left, it seemed Xia Zheng’s idea of havoc wouldn’t go smoothly.
However, no matter what, now that they’ve caught the little thief, they’ve resolved one of Princess Anle’s worries. She had been stressing about Xia Zheng’s betrothal gifts these days, even considering whether to move everything out from the storehouse to take inventory!
The storeroom was filled with decades-old antiques, cleaned regularly, but you never know if there might be irreparable damage.
Now it’s fine, the thief was caught, Princess Anle was relieved, and no need to fuss over sorting out the storehouse anymore.
As for the things Xia Hen stole and gave away, they surely couldn’t be retrieved. The artifacts that General Mansion’s second master gifted, if demanded back, would lose more than just Xia Hen’s face.
Moreover, he was trying to please his sweetheart, so it was impossible to ask for those items back.
Luckily, Princess Anle had already planned to replace those lost engagement gifts with other items, otherwise, it would have been difficult to handle!
Xia Zheng thought of using Xia Hen’s betrothal gifts as compensation, but whether Princess Anle would agree, that was unclear.
The two arrived at the living room and saw a house full of people; Princess Anle was entertaining guests.
