"It's all because of this little beast. His article is so rubbish that he made the teacher angry and ran away." Wei Xian was obviously very angry and didn't care about his literary manners when he was scolding him.

Jiang Chengyi had been called a little bastard recently, so he was very sensitive to these three words. He immediately said, "Uncle, don't say that. Sheng Ge'er has grown up, and he must be sad to hear that."

"Brother Yi is right. You are still reliable and worthy of being a brother." Wei Xian sighed lightly.

Wei Sheng, who had been keeping his head down and saying nothing, raised his head and said coldly, "I am the older brother."

Wei Sheng was born half a day earlier than Jiang Chengyi.

Before Jiang Chengyi could say anything, Wei Xian was already so angry that he jumped up and down: "I said it wrong on purpose, and you still have the nerve to say it! Do you act like a brother? You are only a few hours older than Brother Yi, why is the gap so big?"

"Look at Brother Yi, he is a rare talent when he walks out. And you are lifeless all day long. You are tall for nothing, but you are like a stupid cow, so stupid that you dare not even look up at people!"

Wei Xian cursed very fiercely, but Wei Sheng didn't dare to say anything. He just kept his head down and let him vent.

"Go away." He seemed to be tired of scolding, so he just waved his hand and chased the person away.

Wei Sheng had just taken a few steps when he saw Wei Xian warmly greeting Jiang Chengyi: "Come on, brother Yi, please sit down. You brought the article with you, right? Let your uncle take a look."

Wei Xian personally poured tea and greeted the young man, treating him as a guest of honor. The smile on his face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.

His expression darkened, and when he was about to leave, Wei Xian shouted again, "Don't go too far, wait outside the door, and I'll take Yi Ge'er for a good walk later."

Wei Sheng didn't listen to the advice at all and just left without looking back.

"Stop right there, you little bastard! How dare you disobey your father!" Wei Xian was about to chase him out, but Jiang Chengyi quickly stopped him.

"Uncle, uncle, that's all. You scolded him in front of me just now. It's natural for him to feel humiliated and unhappy. I'll go find him later."

When Wei Xian heard him say this, he stopped and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Yi, you are the best. You are upright and knowledgeable. If I had a son like you, I would keep him by my side and teach him personally every day. I would never be willing to hit you. The Marquis is really too cruel!" Wei Xian stared at Jiang Chengyi's legs, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Jiang Chengyi's heart softened. Well, actually it wasn't bad to marry his cousin. After all, his uncle and aunt really loved him.

Unfortunately, my uncle’s official position is not high. In the eyes of ordinary people, the fourth rank may be a high-ranking official, but it is really not enough in Wangjing. If you walk a few steps outside, you may encounter the carriage of a first or second rank official.

What's more, the family status of the Marquis of Loyalty is already high enough, and the Wei family is really not a match for them. Jiang Chengyi sighed lightly.

He submitted the article, and Wei Xian praised him highly. He then taught him how to write policy essays, including the problems that might be encountered in the imperial examinations, the taboos of the examiners, etc. He taught him everything he knew.

Wei Xian personally escorted him out, still cursing at Wei Sheng loudly: "Where is Wei Sheng? Brother Yi is in a wheelchair and it is inconvenient for him, and he doesn't even know how to take care of him. How can he be a cousin?"

"No, no, uncle, I'll let the servant take him there. He's in a bad mood, I'll go and comfort him."

This sentence earned Wei Xian another round of praise, his attitude was so enthusiastic that it seemed as if he wanted to marry his daughter to him tomorrow.

"Goushengzi, you were hiding here. You are a dog after all, you like to stay by the dog hole."

Jiang Chengyi was pushed and found Wei Sheng in the southwest courtyard of the Wei Mansion. He had suddenly changed. The polite cousin from before was gone, and he started to insult people directly.

The Southwest Courtyard is uninhabited and rather desolate. When Wei Sheng is in a bad mood, he likes to hide here.

Although this place is desolate and overgrown with weeds, no other people come here. For Wei Sheng, it is like a paradise.

But today, even though he hid here, he was still found by this annoying cousin.

Wei Sheng glared at the Wei family servant who was leading the way, stood up without saying a word, turned around and left, ignoring Jiang Chengyi at all.

He was very tall and had long legs, so he only took a few steps to cross the threshold.

"Stop! Who allowed you to leave?"

"This is my home. I can go wherever I want without your permission!" Wei Sheng turned around and said in a stern tone.

"Ha, you bastard, how dare you talk to me like that? If my uncle finds out, he will break your legs!" Jiang Chengyi sneered and raised his voice to mock him.

Wei Sheng looked directly at his legs, with a look of disdain on his face: "Why, your legs were broken by your father, so you expect my father to break my legs too? Lao Shuyi."

"What did you call me?" Jiang Chengyi's face changed and he asked anxiously.

"Mouse Yi, you are like a rat in the gutter, smelly and short, doing nothing all day long."

"Stop him! Don't think I can't heal you just because I hurt my leg!"

Jiang Chengyi's eyes revealed resentment, and he waved his hand violently. The servants following him hesitated for a moment, after all, this was in the Wei family.

"What are you standing there for? My words are not effective anymore. I'll take care of anything that happens!" He said in a domineering tone.

"Fourth Master, this is the Wei Mansion. Before we came here, the Marquis's wife specifically reminded us to follow the rules when being a guest."

Unexpectedly, the servants behind him didn't buy it at all, and some even stood up to express their refusal clearly.

Zhuzi, the personal servant who served Jiang Chengyi before, has been sold out as punishment. Now the newly promoted servant is promoted by Cen himself, and his name is Li Shan.

It was obvious that Li Shan didn't listen to him, but only to Cen.

Before Cen sent Li Shan to work, she gave him serious instructions, and her words were even more unpleasant. Li Shan was a family-born child, and his family had served in the Loyalty Marquis Mansion for generations. He was taught from a young age how to guess his master's thoughts.

After Cen finished saying those words, Li Shan quickly understood what Cen meant. The Fourth Master had fallen out of favor.

To put it even more coldly, the Marquis's wife had already developed a dislike for the Fourth Master, otherwise she would not have stared at a servant like a thief.

"Mom asked you to serve me, not to threaten me. Go quickly!" Jiang Chengyi didn't listen at all and shouted again.

Unfortunately, no matter how loudly he shouted, the servant behind him remained indifferent.

"You are a rebellion, you bunch of dogs and slaves!"

When Jiang Chengyi was most angry, he suddenly heard a sneer and saw Wei Sheng standing not far away, looking at him with sarcasm on his face.

"Oh, the Fourth Master of the Marquisate is like this. He can't even order a servant around."

This sentence instantly stirred up a hornet's nest, and Jiang Chengyi's eyes flashed with resentment.

"I can't order the servants of the Marquis' Mansion around, but I can order the servants of your Wei Mansion around. Your Young Master Sheng bullied me, catch him!" Jiang Chengyi raised his voice and shouted.

Everyone was stunned. After Wei Sheng reacted, he couldn't help laughing up to the sky: "Hahaha, cousin, your legs are lame, how come your brain is not working well? This is the Wei Mansion, I am the young master of the Wei family, you let the servants of the Wei family arrest me?"

His ridicule further aroused Jiang Chengyi's anger. He roared, "Catch him. He is the young master of the Wei family. In the eyes of my aunt and uncle, he is no match for me. Don't forget that they have always wanted me to be the son-in-law of the Wei family. They have tried their best to praise me by stepping on their own son every time. You can see clearly what is more important."

"You will follow my orders and I will bear all the consequences. Even if I fail to become the son-in-law of the Wei family in the future, you can follow me back to the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion. I will ask my uncle and aunt, and they will definitely not refuse me."

Jiang Chengyi said this very confidently, and Wei Sheng simply couldn't laugh anymore, especially when he heard the sentence "you're praising me by stepping on your own son", his face was full of anger and humiliation, and those unbearable memories came to his mind again.

What made it even more difficult for him to accept was that those servants from the Wei Mansion actually rushed forward and surrounded him.
