Rarely affectionate

There was silence in the huge study room.

The air was so tight that for a moment everyone had the illusion that they couldn't breathe.

Qi Xiaguo made a struggling sound when he was taken down, and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Yuan Xiao is sure that if he loses this round, Lang Bai will definitely boil Qi Xiaguo alive without hesitation!He can do it!His younger brother was born with an abnormal mind, he is a criminal genius!Not to mention Qi Xiaguo, a servant who has offended him many times, even if his loyal subordinate Mo was boiled alive in front of him, he might be able to drink a bowl of living soup without blinking his eyes or heart beating!

Yuan Zhen knew that he couldn't compare with this young brother—what a joke, even Yuan Cheng, who has lived for 40 years and has cultivated to become a master, may not be as ruthless as his youngest son!

"...Ah Bai," Yuan Xiao managed to maintain the appearance of a little elder brother, but his voice trembled a little uncontrollably, "Qi Xiaguo offended you, you can just order someone to scold him and beat him up, what are you doing?" Do such a thing by yourself? His little life is nothing, you are not afraid of this kind of practice-this kind of practice is too cruel, but it will bring you retribution?"

Lang Bai glanced at Yuan Xiao, and there was no fear on his face. Instead, he covered his lips with a smile and coughed twice, his face flushed as if: "—Brother, what you said is really a joke. He said that his subordinates are dogs. Isn’t it you, big brother? Anyway, big brother, you say that Qi Xiaguo’s life is nothing, so it doesn’t matter if he lives or dies.”

As he spoke, the smile on his lips deepened, and he looked like a girly girl: "I have only lived for less than 20 years, and although I have seen a lot of things, this big boiled person is really real." I haven’t seen it. Today is an eye-opener for everyone, let’s go and see it together.”

Yuan Xiao sternly said, "Stop!"

Lang Bai didn't turn his head back: "What's the big brother?"

Yuan Xiao stood there, his face was blue and red, and he was extremely angry.Wang Jiadong was afraid that he would do something irrational in a hurry, so he quickly winked at him desperately.

"Since my younger brother is in such a good mood today, I'd like to join in the fun too—" Yuan Zai slammed his hand violently, and shouted: "Come and bring Mo Fang here! It's not enough to cook Qi Xiaguo, let's bring Mo Fang together today Cooked!"

There was an uproar in the study room!

"Master!"

"Master, calm down!"

"Yuan Xiao!" Wang Jiadong shouted sharply.

Yuan Zhen pushed Wang Jiadong away, stepped forward in two steps, and grabbed his younger brother: "Go, Abai, let's take a look today, and see who can be ruthless! Let's go!"

"Just for one subordinate, do you two brothers want to die!" Suddenly the door of the study was pushed open with a slam, and Yuan Cheng's voice was so cold that people could tremble, "—Wang Yi Zhou Zhengrong! Give me both of them!" pull away!"

Both Yuan Xiao and Lang Bai were taken aback for a moment, and then the subordinates of the two brothers who were making a fuss in the study all cheered at the same time, and immediately stood upright: "Mr. Yuan!"

Zhou Zhengrong and Wang Yi trotted forward, not daring to push the two brothers too much. One pulled Yuan Xiao away and the other pulled Lang Bai away, and they both softly persuaded: "Eldest Young Master/Little Young Master, if you have something to say, please speak carefully. Don't do it~~~"

It doesn't matter if you do it, Mr. Yuan won't beat the child in front of others, but it's unlucky for you two subordinates!

Yuan Xiao was disturbed by anger at the beginning, and only hated his younger brother for being cruel and ruthless. Under the impact of such strong anger, he forgot about the incest between Yuan Cheng and his son.Seeing his father appearing in front of him now, he suddenly remembered this matter again—the lingering anger was still there, and even greater anger and hatred swept over all his rationality.

"Why can't I do it! My majestic young master of the Yuan family has been bullied to the top of his head, can I still do it?!" Yuan Zou pushed Wang Yi and roared at his father: "Wang Shufang is still lying on the bed! In the hospital, the doctor said that it was almost impossible to save her! What if she really died, father, what reason are you going to use to answer the Wang family?! How are you going to make excuses for you and Ah Bai?!"

Yuan Cheng's eyelids twitched slightly: "What did you say?"

"I said how do you plan to find excuses for you and Lang Bai! The things between you! Between you——"

"Shut up." Yuan Cheng interrupted the eldest son, "Wang Yi Zhou Zhengrong, take the young master back to the bedroom. Everyone else retreats, and you are not allowed to say a word about what happened in the study today—just reveal it." One word, and I'll boil you all alive. Do you hear that?"

Whether it was Yuan Xiao's confidants or Lang Bai's subordinates brought back from the United States, everyone lowered their heads in unison, and even Wang Jiadong followed behind in cold sweat and replied: "Yes!"

Lang Bai stood there quietly, without saying a word, his face darkened.

Yuan Cheng glanced at his youngest son, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only sighed: "Ah Bai, you..."

"I'm going back." Lang Bai interrupted Yuan Cheng unceremoniously, and then waved Wang Yi and Zhou Zhengrong back: "——I can walk by myself, so I don't need you to send me. Go do what you should be busy with."

Both Wang Yi and Zhou Zhengrong have worked in Yuan's family for many years, usually one person is less than ten thousand, but they dare not be presumptuous at all in front of this noble little prince, they can only bow their heads and say yes.

Lang Bai brushed past Yuan Cheng without even looking at anyone else, and then left in a flick of his sleeves.

Yuan Cheng watched his thin and straight back disappear outside the door, then looked away, closed his eyes, as if extremely helpless, "...you all go down..."

Immediately afterwards, he glanced at his eldest son: "Yuan Xiao, come here."

When Yuan Xiao walked into the inner room of the study, he slammed the door hard and made an earth-shattering bang.

All the outsiders withdrew, and only Yuan Cheng and Yuan Xiao, father and son, were in the inner room.As soon as the door was closed, the thick soundproof board isolated everything, and Yuan Cheng no longer restrained his anger, and slapped him directly: "What are you doing! You can't do it if you eat gunpowder!"

There was a crisp sound, and Yuan Xiao covered his face: "Yes, I have eaten gunpowder! Why did Abai kill Wang Shufang, father, why did you help cover it up? Do you think I don't know at all?! Do you think this gunpowder is still alive? Isn't that enough?!"

Yuan Cheng stared at his eldest son for a long while, his eyes darkened, before saying, "You know everything."

There is no doubt about this sentence at all, it is completely affirmative.

"Shouldn't I know?! My father, my younger brother, they told me since I was a child that this is the only person in the Yuan family who is qualified to be called my relatives! You!" He gasped, and his face turned red: "When did it start? It wasn't a matter of the past two years, right? I've been kept in the dark like this! I just——"

——Just like this, he has been regarded as a fool all the time, and has been kept in the dark!

I always thought that my father was partial to the youngest son, and I always thought that I was not doing well enough!

As a result, I didn't know until today that there was such an unspeakable secret between my only two relatives!And it's not a year or two, it's been a long time!

If this spread to the outside world, not only Yuan Zou, but the entire Yuan family would be disgraced!

"Lang Bai is your son! Your own son!" Yuan Xiao roared hoarsely, almost pointing at his father's nose: "I always thought that you didn't want to continue marrying because you didn't want your son to have multiple stepmothers! I always thought you were It was because Wang Jiadong offended Lang Bai that he looked down on the Wang family! As a result, I didn’t know the truth until today! That’s the truth! ——Father, you want money, money and power, why did you want to have an affair with your own son? This kind of thing?! How do you let me deal with it! Not just me, not just you, the entire Yuan family will be ruined! Be reduced to the laughing stock of the upper class!!"

Yuan Cheng remained motionless and let his elder son growl, with no expression on his face.

"Shame! It's a shame! I don't have such a father and brother! You are so! You are—!"

Yuan Xiao viciously knocked off the decorations on the table, and with a loud crash, Yuan Cheng stepped back calmly to avoid being affected.Still angry, Yuan Hao grabbed the vase and teacup on the coffee table and threw it on the ground. With the crashing sound, he overturned the ship in a bottle, the small silver wall clock, and the small hourglass of crystal sand on the bookshelf. ...Almost everything that could be dropped was dropped by him.

The floor stalls in the study room were simply appalling, with all kinds of debris and scum all over the floor.Yuan Xiao was finally tired from the fall, kicked the coffee table over with a sudden kick, and then sat down hard on the ground.

Yuan Cheng looked down at the embarrassing elder son from a high position, and couldn't tell whether he was angry or not, and there was not even any emotion on his face.

After a long while, Yuan Xiao's rough panting finally stopped, and his momentary anger finally vented, his mood gradually subsided, and his face gradually returned to normal.

Yuan Cheng still stared at him calmly, and asked, "Is the fall over?"

Yuan Xiao was startled suddenly, as if watching a strong wind pass by.

The room, piles of various debris on the ground, and the coffee table that was overturned at the father's feet——

He hurriedly got up: "I..."

Yuan Cheng waved his hand to stop him.

"I can understand your anger," Yuan Cheng said, "Your younger brother expressed it much more strongly than you did back then."

Yuan Xiao stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

"You have been regarded as the only legitimate son of the Yuan family since you were a child. After so many years, you have been called the crown prince overtly and secretly. Although your younger brother was also included in the genealogy later, everyone firmly believes that you are the last heir. In the past few years, more and more people have respected you as a prince face to face—almost in front of me, they don't even know how to shy away from it."

Yuan Zhen was startled, and then a little chill quietly appeared in his heart.

In the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi established the crown prince, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty called the eighth prince the crown prince in front of the emperor, which made the emperor very angry, and directly circled this son who was "the aspiration of the people".Yuan Xiao was educated by his master in his early years, and all the elders told him: Don't pretend to be an heir in front of your father because you are a legitimate son!

No high-ranking person can tolerate that he has a good son who is what the people want and what the general trend is!

"I didn't let them..."

Yuan Cheng shook his head: "I know you didn't let them call you that. They just think that you will definitely inherit the Yuan family, and that after I die, you will be the only one in charge."

Yuan Xiao hurriedly said, "I didn't think so..."

"Whether you think so or not, it won't stop others from thinking so." Yuan Cheng stopped the eldest son's defense, and said in a calm tone, "Even if I didn't clearly make a will for you to be the heir, in the eyes of others, you are He is still the crown prince—just temporarily uncrowned."

Yuan Xiao stood there nervously, motionless.

"Yuan Zou," Yuan Cheng said in a low voice, "I don't want to deny that the matter between me and your brother did exist, and it will continue. ——I just want to ask you one thing!"

Yuan Xiao almost jumped up again when he heard "continue forever", but then Yuan Cheng's rare attitude stopped him, and he could only stand there and listen.

Yuan Cheng stared at his eldest son condescendingly, and said in a word: "I just want to ask you—this uncrowned prince, do you want to continue to be the crown prince?"

When Lang Bai returned to his small courtyard, he saw a tall and thin figure standing among the flowers when he entered the door, looking up to smell the blooming roses.

——That's Li Mingyu.

Lang Bai was stunned for a moment, then quietly backed out of the gate, coughed as if unintentionally, and walked in with heavy steps on purpose.

Sure enough, when he came in again, he saw Li Mingyu was already standing under the tree, a few steps away from the rose hedge, his expression as calm and calm as ever.

Yuan Cheng once commented on Li Mingyu, saying that he is more like a dual-core computer than a person.No matter when you look at Li Mingyu, he is dignified and unsmiling, just like a sophisticated computer working all year round, calm, calm, and exhaustive.

Li Mingyu is like a pool of deep water, never having any waves.

Waiting in the yard of the master's house, looking up and sniffing the gorgeous rose flowers on the branches, to the point of ecstasy--in Li Mingyu's view, it was simply a loss of composure.

Lang Bai pretended not to notice it, and just walked over with a smile: "The chief of staff is here too, why don't you let someone inform you? I have something to do just now, and I was delayed. Don't blame me, the chief of staff."

Li Mingyu shook his head: "Don't take it to heart. I came here by myself, and I didn't let others report it."

The two of them walked into the room side by side, the bluestone path was tainted by frost, and they stepped on it, making a slight sound of water soaking.The sky is so dark, and at such a close distance, I can't see the other person's face clearly, I just heard Lang Bai laugh and said: "It's a coincidence today, I accidentally hurt my future sister-in-law... ...I just made amends to my elder brother in my father's study."

"How is your young lady?"

"It looks like it can be rescued—it's just that my elder brother was angry, so I spent a lot of effort just now."

The two of them were silent for a while, only to hear Lang Bai cough again, and said softly: "I'm afraid my father this time... really wants to help my elder brother to the throne..."

Li Mingyu let out an "oh", and the ending sound rose slightly: "Does this have something to do with the fact that you injured Mrs. Zun?"

Lang Bai couldn't speak directly, so he just said perfunctorily: "My father sometimes has to take into account the emotions of his eldest son."

Of course, we have to take into account - things like Yuan Cheng, it's okay to play with an ordinary little boy, but it's a bit too much to force his own son!Even if Yuan Cheng went all out on his own, the Yuan family would still have to face it!In order to calm Yuan Zhui's emotions and at the same time force Yuan Zhui to keep his mouth shut in the future, Yuan Cheng will most likely use the golden crown prince this time to appease his angry eldest son.

Even if he was on the same front as Li Mingyu, Lang Bai couldn't tell him the secrets between Yuan Cheng and himself.

Fortunately, Li Mingyu didn't ask any more questions, and only asked indifferently: "Then, are you going to watch Yuan Xiao take over?"

Lang Bai was silent for a while.

"I once told you that if you want to completely get rid of the huge obstacle Yuan Xiao, then I can help you until the end of this year. It's late autumn now, do you really want to delay until next year? Even if I want to help you next year, Also heartbroken."

Hearing this, Lang Bai felt strange: "What will the Chief of Staff do next year?"

Li Mingyu didn't answer. He was sitting on a red sandalwood high-back armchair in the small living room, with one hand gently resting on his side. He seemed to be meditating, as if he was as still as a mountain.Lang Bai didn't disturb him, after a long while, the room was silent, only he said softly: "Next year - when the spring of next year begins, I will die."

Lang Bai's eyebrows twitched slightly!But before he could ask, Li Mingyu interrupted him: "I'm afraid you don't know, I'm not a pure Korean. My grandfather was a soldier in China before."

Lang Bai wondered, "Being a soldier?"

This is really strange.Everyone knows that Li Mingyu started from scratch, and was excellent in character and learning when he was young. Later, he was sent by the government to study at Yale University, and after returning, he became the number one interpreter for the leader.Later, because of his fluent English and handsome appearance, he was sent to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a while, and then served in the Staff Department. ——These résumés are actually nothing. If we really want to talk about glory, his conferment ceremony was held with Jin Hansol some time ago!

This means that if the situation does not change, Li Mingyu is likely to become the Minister of Gu Ming who assists the young master to come to power!If his grandfather had really served as a soldier in China, then his identity would be a big taboo.Neither can he enter the most core family, nor may he be qualified to be awarded titles in North Korea, let alone be awarded titles with the crown prince.

Li Mingyu nodded calmly, "Yes, it's just that very few people know about it. No one in the staff knows that I actually came from—" He stretched out his hand and made a "four" gesture.
