Chapter 397 What did I see that made me feel disgusted?
"Dad, in the past, my great uncle loved you the most. Every time he came back from outside, he would bring you tonic medicine. This time will definitely be no exception."
Xu Letie forced herself to suppress the jealousy in her heart and spoke to Xu Jinran in a low voice.
Although their life stories have now been revealed, King Ning Xu Jinren, as the eldest brother, has been very caring towards his younger brother Xu Jinran over the years.
The brotherhood we have maintained for so many years cannot just disappear.
Not only Xu Letie didn't believe that Prince Ning would be so ruthless, Xu Jinran and Qin also held the same idea.
"Don't worry, your uncle is not like those women with long hair and short knowledge."
Xu Jinran said this very confidently, but he didn't realize that his words also made Xu Letie and Qin Shi look unhappy.
If this were in the past, when Xu Jinran was still the third master of Prince Ning's Mansion, the mother and daughter would have no objection no matter what was said.
But things are different now. After his true identity was revealed, he was stripped of that glamorous identity and became nothing more than a peasant.
Not only was he a lowly peasant, but he was also a sickly man who had to gasp for breath after walking a few steps.
"Stop talking about those nonsense. We are going back now. While there is no one around, go to the gate over there and wait."
Qin rolled her eyes unhappily. This was not the time to argue with him. After saying a few words, she pulled Xu Letie's hand and left.
This was also what they had discussed at home. This time Xu Jinren returned to Beijing after winning the battle, which was also a good opportunity for them.
After all, they have been together for decades, and Xu Jinran knows the Ning Wang brothers very well.
Both of them lived up to the names given to them by King Ning, and were extremely particular about benevolence, righteousness, and morality.
I have lived in Prince Ning's Mansion for so many years, but I was kicked out of the house just because I have no blood relationship. What is going on?
Besides, if I were a normal person, even if I didn't rely on Prince Ning's Mansion, I could always get a bowl of rice to eat by working or farming.
But now he was dragging his sick body around, not only could he not do anything, he also had to drink some very expensive tonics frequently. With their current financial situation, they simply could not afford it.
Based on their understanding of Prince Ning, he would definitely not watch himself suffer outside.
Thinking of this, Xu Jinran felt a surge of heat in his heart.
He looked around very carefully, but didn't see even a ghost. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and walked quickly towards the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion.
It was already the end of March and although the weather had become much warmer, it was still so cold in the middle of the night that he was shivering.
In fact, he was already wearing several layers of thick clothes, but it was still a bit difficult to resist the cold.
But there is no time to care about these things now. I should go and wait for big brother Xu Jinren first.
So Xu Jinran sneakily ran to the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, pulled his thick cotton jacket, and leaned against the stone lion.
Although this method is a bit torturing, it is a rare good idea for them.
hey-hey……
He thought about it, and when Xu Jinren came out of the palace late at night and just returned to the door of his house, he saw his brother guarding outside the gate in such a miserable state. He must have been very moved.
Needless to say, the next thing to do is to take him back quickly and have someone take good care of him.
Xu Jinran imagined himself returning to Prince Ning's Mansion and living such a rich and prosperous life again, and his heart was filled with happiness.
However, as the night grew deeper and the temperature grew colder, the good wishes in his heart disappeared like bubbles.
After waiting for a long time but no one came back, Xu Jinran became very anxious. He didn't know how much time had passed. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer. He slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep leaning against the stone lion.
"what happened……"
"Did some beggars run into the inner city? Why are they sleeping outside someone else's gate?"
"Look at how stiff he is. Could it be that he has been dead for a long time?"
"Pah, pah, pah! What nonsense are you talking about so early in the morning?"
"He's not dead, he's still moving. He might just be sleeping. Hurry up and wake him up..."
Amid the noise, Xu Jinran had already woken up.
Listening to these people's voices, he felt a little embarrassed and awkward.
These voices were very familiar to him, as they were all people who had greeted him respectfully in the past.
Now, he has come back again, but these people can’t even recognize him. It’s outrageous.
However, Xu Jinran was only concerned with being angry and didn't use his brain to think carefully at all.
In order to arouse the sympathy of his elder brother Xu Jinren, he not only wore ragged clothes, but also messed his hair up like a mess, and his face was covered with dirt.
It was a look that he was very satisfied with, but in the eyes of the servants in Prince Ning's Mansion, he looked more like a beggar.
The more Xu Jinren thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. In addition, because he had slept outside for too long, his body couldn't take it anymore. Not only did he ache all over, but his head also felt like it was being pricked by needles.
But this was exactly what he wished for, so he just took this opportunity to lie down and not move.
He just couldn't believe it today. Even though he was in such a miserable state, Xu Jinren could still be so cruel and not care about his life or death.
"What are you doing? Instead of doing anything early in the morning, you gather together to be lazy."
At this time, the old butler came out with a dark face. Seeing these people gathered together talking, he immediately scolded them.
These damn things, when the time is not right, they start to be lazy.
"Hurry up and clean it up thoroughly. Clean the stone lions outside the door."
The housekeeper shouted, and those people couldn't help but feel their scalps tightened. They immediately dispersed, revealing Xu Jinran lying straight on the ground.
"what 's wrong?"
The old housekeeper was shocked. It was so unlucky and uncomfortable that someone died at the doorstep on such a happy day.
"He's still alive. He might have fainted."
Some of the smarter ones trotted forward, put their hands on Xu Jinran's nose, felt the slight breathing sound, and shouted out loudly.
"Since he's not dead, let's get him away. Otherwise, when the master returns home, he'll be so disgusted when he sees him..."
"Uncle Wang, what do I feel disgusted by?"
At this moment, a powerful voice was heard.
