Shujun had an unhappy expression, and her resentment deepened instantly.

Haoming had a wooden face: "Hmm, monkey traitor!"

Yue Ning glanced at one, then the other. He hadn’t succeeded in losing weight yet, his face still carried baby fat, and he said blankly.

"But, second brother hit you, it makes sense, but I didn’t do anything, why did he hit me?"

Yue Ning’s resentment ran deeper than Shujun’s, he felt very wronged.

At first, he thought it had nothing to do with him and was standing cheerfully on the side watching the show, but didn’t expect to get punched as soon as the scuffle started.

Second brother Shu Yu straightened his wrinkled white clothes and said plainly:

"Just a reflex."

Yue Ning: "..."

Are you sure you’re really my brother?

Huh?

Is this how a brother behaves?

You must not be!

Even if you are my brother, you’re definitely not a real one, definitely a stepbrother!!

Too angry to speak, Yue Ning felt incredibly frustrated, glanced timidly at his second brother, but was afraid he might settle scores later, so had to swallow the frustration...

And just bear it quietly.

No choice, he couldn’t beat him, what could he do?

But...

He remembered what Yingying had said before, that he would definitely be better than his second brother in the future. Even if not better, at least at the same level, right?

Regardless of whether Yingying was bluffing him or not, he truly believed it.

So...

Yue Ning was secretly planning.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, second brother, just you wait!

Just at this moment.

"What’s the matter?"

It was big brother.

Having previously lost to his younger brothers, he had lost all elder brother dignity.

So before this, Zhi Chen kept quiet to lower his presence.

But now, Zhi Chen noticed Fourth young brother Haoming’s anomaly.

Haoming, with a stoic face, looked up at the sky expressionlessly.

"Up there, something’s there."

"Huh?"

Shujun rushed over.

"What, what? Where is it? Let me see."

Looking very curious.

Haoming: "...It flew away."

Shujun: "???"

And then, at the next moment.

Haoming’s expression changed suddenly.

"Wife, wife!"

He blinked his eyes, almost without thinking, dashed like an arrow, looking panicked, swiftly heading out of the woods.

And his action surprised the others.

"Huiying!"

"Hui!"

"Xiao Hui!"

"Yingying!"

A jumble of nicknames were shouted out.

The brothers hurriedly followed Haoming to find their Mistress, with Shu Yu being the fastest.

He moved like a ghost, drifting away like a soul towards the distance.

...

Dong Huiying and Yixuan were waiting patiently at the Empress’s place.

The Empress had previously ordered that the Eighth Princess be dragged out and executed.

But the Great Commander hadn’t returned yet.

Instead...

"Huiying!"

Someone came, but it wasn’t the Great Commander, it was her second master, Liang Shu Yu.

Shu Yu was a bit nervous at first, but upon seeing Sixth Brother Yixuan guarding next to Dong Huiying, he sighed with relief, returning to calm and composure.

Meanwhile, his brows furrowed slightly.

He first stood next to Dong Huiying, holding her hand, making sure she was right by his side, within reach, and then quietly gazed outside the door, waiting for the slower brothers.

Dong Huiying looked confused: "Shu Yu? What’s going on with you?"

Shu Yu said calmly: "You should ask Haoming."

"Uh?"

Dong Huiying looked puzzled.

Just then, Haoming and the others came rushing in.
