Chapter 162 - Share hardship together

Xi Xinheng took the whip and let someone restrain the waiter first.

He went straight to his youngest son’s courtyard.

At this moment, Xi Rui was skateboarding in his own courtyard.

He could now play very difficult tricks on his own.

Seeing his father come in with a sullen face together with the waiter again, he immediately skateboarded and wanted to escape.

Xi Xinheng snorted. “If you can run out of this yard today, I’ll have the same surname as you.”

Xi Rui thought to himself, as if you don’t have the same surname as mine now.

He smiled embarrassedly. “Dad, I suddenly remembered that grandmother asked me to go to her courtyard. I’ll go there first.”

Xi Xinheng sneered. “Your mother accompanied your grandmother to offer incense today. Continue to make more stories.”

Xi Rui was speechless.

It’s over.

“Um, dad, What’s the matter?” He moved toward his courtyard’s door.

Xi Xinheng lashed out. “You bastard, how dare you scheme against others with such dirty tricks.

“The key point is that Xiao Yuanshi has a hold on you. I’ll beat you to death.”

He wasn’t angry that his son had schemed against Xiao Yuanshi with such dirty tricks.

After all, Ge Chunru was also very despicable to scheme against his son.

He was angry at his son for forgetting to clean up the mess while he was done.

He let Xiao Yuanshi find this waiter and even sent him home.

Xi Rui was hit by the whip and cried out in pain.

Seeing that his father looked like he was going to beat him to death, he immediately sold Liang Youxiao.

“Liang Youxiao came up with his idea.”

If they were brothers, they would be whipped together.

Xi Xinheng’s face darkened. “This kid from the Liang family is indeed full of bad ideas.

“You idiot, other people came up with the idea and you executed it.

“You silly fool.”

He had experience in the battlefield, so his martial strength was not low, and his whip was even more powerful.

Soon, the courtyard was filled with Xi Rui’s screams.

After all, he was his biological father.

He had left some leeway when he struck.

In addition, his youngest son was the best at sweet-talking and coaxing.

Xi Xinheng’s heart ached as he lashed his son.

After a few lashes, he grabbed his son and went to the Liang family.

High Duke Liang also went out to play mahjong.

It just so happened that Liang Youxiao’s biological father, the heir of this public administrator house, was at home.

When he saw Xi Xinheng, he was very surprised.

“Brother Xi, what’s the matter?”

The relationship between the three princes of the three dukedoms was very ordinary.

After all, they were already dukes, and the relationship between the three dukedoms was still as good as brothers.

What would the emperor think?

It wasn’t a big deal that their good-for-nothing sons hung out together.

Xi Xinheng did not beat around the bush.

He directly told him about how Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui schemed against Xiao Yuanshi.

“I’m not angry that they schemed against Xiao Yuanshi. After all, that guy asked for it.

“I just can’t stand their sloppy attitude. After dealing with him, they actually left traces for him to use it against us.”

Even though he said it quite calmly, he was actually a little angry.

However, he was somewhat gratified that his son did not eradicate the waiter and wasn’t ruthless.

He would be worried if his youngest son was ambitious and ruthless.

After all, he did not want to see his sons to estrange each other at home.

Liang Mingcheng had a headache.

He gritted his teeth and said, “This bastard.”

Xiao Yuanshi and Xi Rui having a feud had nothing to do with this bastard.

He actually came up with such an idea to deal with Xiao Yuanshi.

Back then, as Xiao Yuanshi was also the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, the emperor did not allow him to hand over his military power.

He was still considering whether to befriend him and try to rope them in.

But now, that bastard ruined it all.

He cupped his hands at Xi Xinheng. “Thank you for telling me, Brother Xi. I will take care of this bastard.”

Xi Xinheng smiled. “Brother Liang, you don’t have to be too angry. You just have to teach them a lesson.”

The Xi father and son did not stay for long and left after sitting for a while longer.

Xi Rui said in his heart, brother, hang in there!

In Liang Youxiao’s courtyard, he was playing doudizhu with his personal attendants.

When he saw his father walking in with a long stick, he was a little confused.

“Father, are you going to practice martial arts in my courtyard?”

As he said this, he immediately threw away the card and tried to escape from the courtyard door.

Liang Mingcheng said with a dark face, “I do want to practice martial arts, with you as the target.”

Liang Youxiao ran towards the door without hesitation.

However, just as he reached the door, his father’s personal guards stopped him.

Liang Mingcheng walked towards Liang Youxiao. “Run, run, you little bastard. I’ve wanted to beat you up for a long time!”

Liang Youxiao did not understand. “Father, I don’t think I’ve offended you, right?”

Liang Mingcheng snorted coldly. “You bastard. Did you come up with the idea of scheming against Xiao Yuanshi?”

Liang Youxiao knew immediately that that bastard Xi Rui had betrayed.

He said embarrassedly, “I just came up with an idea casually. Who knew that he would really do it?”

Liang Mingcheng was furious. “He has a grudge against others. Why did you generate ideas for him?

“Don’t think that I don’t know that you went to watch the show that day.

“I originally wanted to network with Xiao Yuanshi, but you have ruined it, little bastard.”

Liang Youxiao immediately laughed when he heard that. “It’s a good thing that you didn’t befriend him.

“He actually demoted his wife to a concubine when he’s rich and then divorce his wife for the sake of his external affairs.

“Then, he broke off his kinship with his biological children and abandoned his wife and children. You don’t even know when you would be betrayed.”

He was very glad that he had sabotaged it.

Otherwise, if his father had befriended Xiao Yuanshi, how could he befriend Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo?

Liang Mingcheng frowned. “What do you mean by demoting his wife to a concubine and abandoning his wife and children?”

He had not heard of this.

Therefore, Liang Youxiao told him about the Xiao family.

Only then did Liang Mingcheng know that his son had gone to Xiao Yuanshi’s biological son’s home.

He did not expect Xiao Yuanshi to be like this.

He had heard from Xi Xinheng just now that Xi Rui and this bastard had schemed against Xiao Yuanshi.

It was because Xiao Yuanshi’s petite wife had plotted against Xi Rui first.

As the Chinese saying goes, one should marry a good, virtuous wife.

For the sake of a young and beautiful woman, he had actually done this to his wife and biological children.

Liang Mingcheng could not help but despise Xiao Yuanshi.

He was relieved that he had not befriended Xiao Yuanshi.

Liang Youxiao saw his father’s expression and knew that he had understood what he said. “Then, father, are you going back to your own courtyard to practice martial arts?”

Liang Mingcheng returned to his senses and sneered. “Dream on!”

Very soon, waves of exaggerated screams rang out in Liang Youxiao’s courtyard.

Liang Mingcheng had made preparations, so not only did he stop his son who was about to escape, but he asked his people to stop Liang Youxiao’s servants from reporting the news to the old lady’s courtyard.

Thus, the next day, Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui met.

One had a whip mark on his neck, and the other was limping as he walked.

Liang Youxiao glared at Xi Rui. “You bastard, you actually betrayed me.”

Xi Rui rolled his eyes at him. “You also instigated me. Otherwise, how could I have been whipped?”

He said righteously, “Brothers should share the hardship together!”

Liang Youxiao thought, f * ck you on sharing hardship.

This wasn’t being a brother of mine, but being a bad friend.

Xi Rui looked unhappy. “My father actually whipped me like this. I want to teach him a lesson.”
