The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

Chapter 298 Letter from Xiao's Mother

At this time, Xiao Mingrui finally began to correct his view of Jiang Tunan. He had to admit that Jiang Tunan was far superior to him in some aspects, which he had never thought of before.

"Thank you, cousin Mingrui, for the compliment."

Jiang Tunan graciously accepted Xiao Mingrui's compliment, and then thanked in his heart that this world was a huge sweet love story.

When she saw Wen Zhu and Su Xiaoxiao walking together, she had a sudden realization. The leader of the assassination organization who had not been seen for years, according to the general routine of sweet pet novels, was either too weak and sick to go out, or had another layer of vest that he was afraid of being exposed so he kept it hidden.

That's why Jiang Tunan made this bold assumption, but who knew that Xiao Mingrui would come out as soon as the explosion happened.

"Have you ever thought about what would happen if you guessed wrong?"

Jiang Tunan doesn't care about the Tao.

"It's okay if I guessed wrong. Anyway, I've been behaving abnormally in front of Wen Zhu for a long time."

Xiao Mingrui: ...It’s true.

Xiao Mingrui was a little depressed. He didn't expect that he would lose like this.

"What's the point of that distressed look on your face?"

As soon as Xiao Mingrui looked up, he saw Jiang Tunan staring at him with the eyes of an elder who sees a younger person who has lost his way, which made him feel a little uneasy.

"Brother Mingrui, I thought you were the most stable cousin in the whole mansion, but I didn't expect you... to engage in illegal business behind the back of your family!"

Jiang Tunan's lips trembled slightly, and he looked heartbroken.

"The child is so quiet, he must be making trouble. You, the quietest one, really made a big one."

Xiao Mingrui: Why does this sound so awkward?

"I don't like fighting and killing, and taking over Zhuying Pavilion was just a coincidence."

Xiao Mingrui sighed softly, and then turned around and was startled. Jiang Tunan had brought a plate of melon seeds from somewhere and was eating them with gusto.

"Tell me your story, Cousin Mingrui."

Xiao Mingrui smiled and shook his head, his voice was not loud, as if he was just talking to himself,

“A story about a mission in a time of crisis and a life entrusted to someone before death.”

"Ok?"

Seeing Jiang Tunan's puzzled expression, Xiao Mingrui had no choice but to speak again,

"The last master of Bamboo Shadow Pavilion was a master I met by chance in the suburbs. He taught me martial arts for many years. Later, he passed away and entrusted Bamboo Shadow Pavilion to me. It was then that I knew he was the master of Bamboo Shadow Pavilion."

Jiang Tunan scratched his face. Xiao Mingrui's golden finger was a bit too powerful. Xiao Mingli became the weakest among the four people.

Xiao Mingli is just like the protagonist in the group pet article. He is full of life as soon as he opens his eyes every day. If anyone dares to provoke him, he will take out his own brothers.

The eldest brother was a martial arts champion and became a general, the third brother was a tycoon in the business circle, and the fourth brother was a martial arts master who assassinated the leader of an organization.

Mingli, you dead girl, when will he take a break and let me be the protagonist.

"Cousin, you are really amazing. It is hard to imagine that you can have such a brain in such a remote place."

Although Xiao Mingrui's words were indeed sincere in his admiration, Jiang Tunan felt that they sounded strange.

"So you sent me?"

Being suddenly called out, Fu Ru quickly glanced away, pretending that he heard nothing.

"Well, you kept getting into accidents during that time, so I thought of letting him follow you. After all, his martial arts skills are pretty good."

Hearing Xiao Mingrui praising him, he puffed out his chest with pride.

"It's just that he's not very reliable. Let's change him next time."

"Who are you calling unreliable? Xiao Mingrui, do you want to fight?"

Jiang Tunan was a little overwhelmed by the sudden anger of the servant. Xiao Mingrui smiled politely.

"Excuse me, I have something to deal with."

Then Xiao Mingrui dragged the clothes out of Jiang Tunan's yard.

Jiang Tunan: ....6

......

Xiao Huaimin sat at his desk, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly. Ji Xinhui sighed beside him,

"Did mother really say that?"

Xiao Huaimin nodded.

"They were on their way when I wrote this letter."

Ji Xinhui threw the teacup on the table beside her, her eyes and words full of displeasure.

"This isn't asking for your opinion, this is just informing you."

Xiao Huaimin stammered, not knowing how to answer. After hesitating for a long time, he just said, "Calm down."

"Calm down? How can I calm down? Your brother took advantage of your position as the Minister of Rites to do whatever he wanted in your hometown. Didn't you think I didn't know? If Mingli hadn't happened to pass by there before, the reputation of our Xiao Mansion would have been ruined."

Ji Xinhui's chest heaved up and down with anger.

"Now you are talking about coming to Kyoto to take up a post. You will stay in our house for the time being. Let me ask you, did you help with your brother's official transfer?"

"Huai...Huai De is indeed qualified for promotion. I just transferred him to the Ministry of Rites because I wanted to keep him under my supervision so that I could keep an eye on him."

Ji Xinhui sneered,

"Just transferred to the Ministry of Rites? Aren't you ashamed to say that? Officials from other places were directly transferred to the six ministries when they arrived in Kyoto. Are you afraid that others will not know about your little move?"

Xiao Huaimin felt helpless in his heart.

"My mother said that if I didn't help my brothers, she would hang herself in front of me, and there was nothing I could do."

"Humph, even someone as cherishing life as my mother is willing to hang herself?"

Ji Xinhui thought about it and asked again,

"Is it just your brother who is staying here for a few days?"

"nature.."

Ji Xinhui felt a little relieved.

"No."

Ji Xinhui's face darkened again.

"The Wilder family and mother are all coming to Kyoto to settle down. They should all come this time."

"You mean Xiao Huaide's whole family is coming?!"

Ji Xinhui shouted loudly without caring about her image.

"His one, two, three, four concubines, and that Xu?"

Xiao Huaimin nodded with difficulty, and Ji Xinhui collapsed directly on the chair.

"I don't care. I'm going back to my parents' home. You can do whatever you want."

Ji Xinhui left Xiao Huaimin's study angrily and happened to run into Xiao Mingxu.

"Oh, mom, you are in great shape, you walk so fast!"

Ji Xinhui glared at her third son fiercely and continued to walk towards her own yard.

"What's going on here?"

Xiao Mingxu looked innocent, and Dice said beside him,

"Master, it seems that Madam is in a bad mood today. Let's find a place to hide."

Xiao Mingxu shuddered.

"That's right. Let's go to Xiao Nan Nan's place. It's remote and suitable for taking refuge."
