Chapter 164: The younger brother's fault for not teaching his elder brother
"Young Master, you don't know that the second young lady Bai is a lunatic!" Fuzi, the servant beside Sheng Zekai, explained.
Sheng Zexi almost spit out the wine in his mouth: "Who?"
"Mrs. Bai Er, and the Amber family."
"Nanchun?" Sheng Zexi asked with a frown.
"Yes, it's him! He is a lunatic!" Sheng Zekai complained dissatisfiedly.
Sheng Zexi was too lazy to look at his cowardly look, so he gestured to Fuzi to speak.
Fuzi said, "Just now, the third young master and I were waiting to watch an opera at Xiyan Building. The third young master was bumped into by the impetuous Second Young Madam Bai at the door of the box. Who knew that Second Young Madam Bai was so unreasonable. Not only did she not apologize, but she was also very arrogant!
The Third Young Master was so angry that he had him pinned down. He wanted to have a good talk with him, but he started yelling and crying... The eldest Young Master Bai and his men heard the shouting and ran out, mocking the Third Young Master.
She also said that the Bai family was not afraid of anyone! If anyone wanted to confront the Bai family, they could just come at them. The most infuriating thing was that the second young lady of the Bai family said that she was barefoot and was not afraid of those wearing shoes. She would take the third young master with her even if she died. As she spoke, she pulled out a gun and shot the third young master. Fortunately, the third young master dodged quickly. Otherwise, he might have died.
Sheng Zexi knew his third brother too well and could only believe half of what he said.
It was probably because he bumped into Nanchun and then turned the tables on her. Nanchun was so angry that she started arguing with him. Young Master Bai intervened, but Sheng Zekai cursed and threatened to fight. Nanchun pulled out a gun and threatened him.
"Brother, the Bai family is going too far! If they dare to threaten me with a gun in public today, they can kill me in the street tomorrow! For my personal safety, you have to lend me some people!" Sheng Zekai said aggrievedly.
Li Rou lowered her head and drank, pretending not to hear.
But in his heart, he silently gave Nanchun a thumbs up.
The man before him was Yangcheng's most dissolute dandy. Anyone who encountered him would avoid him if possible, or endure him if possible. Nanchun was truly formidable, having actually managed to force him to retreat.
Sheng Zexi laughed softly.
This Nanchun is really interesting.
"Brother? What are you laughing at?" Sheng Zekai said dissatisfiedly.
"Grandfather's 70th birthday is coming soon. You should behave yourself and stop causing trouble outside!" Sheng Zexi said lightly after taking a sip of wine.
Sheng Zekai's eyes widened: "Brother! Why are you so ungrateful? No wonder that slutty male wife wants to use you as an excuse! You're afraid of trouble, but I'm not!"
After saying that, he put the wine glass heavily on the table and left angrily with Fuzi.
"Nanchun is talking to me about this?" Sheng Zexi waved his hand.
Wei Zhong came over from a distance.
"Go to Xiyanlou and find out what happened to Zekai there today. Find out everything, don't miss any details, and report everything to me."
"Yes, young master." After receiving the order, Wei Zhong went out to arrange for people to investigate.
"Young Master Nan is a remarkable man, as he was able to force the Third Young Master to retreat." Li Rou said with a smile.
Sheng Zexi chuckled.
When the Third Young Master Sheng and the Second Young Lady Bai had their argument, they were not far from the stairwell. People were coming and going, and they didn't hide it. Many people saw it. It wasn't difficult to investigate, but the more Wei Zhong inquired, the more astonished he became.
Mrs. Bai came from a poor family in a small town, but she was not afraid at all when encountering difficulties.
After returning to Sheng Mansion, Wei Zhong heard the sounds of ghosts and wolves howling coming from the courtyard next door. After asking the housekeeper, he found out that the third young master had gone crazy again.
He said that he was bullied by the Bai family outside, and he clamored for the second master to bring people to the Bai family's door.
Wei Zhong curled his lips and quickly got away from the place of trouble.
Melodious music was playing on the gramophone, and Sheng Zexi sat on the sofa with his eyes closed to rest.
"Young Master."
"How's the investigation going?" Sheng Zexi asked.
Wei Zhong replied, "I've found out everything. The conflict between the Third Young Master and the Second Young Madam Bai happened in the corridor, and many people saw it. They say the Third Young Master knocked the Second Young Madam Bai to the ground, and she was cursing at him. The Third Young Master's men pinned her to the ground, and the Third Young Master even kicked her in the face..."
Sheng Zexi frowned and sneered, "I told you, he's the only one who bumps into others and bullies them."
"The noise later attracted Master Bai, who came and rescued the man. The Third Master's words were a bit harsh..."
"Oh, you're cursing very dirty, right?" Sheng Zexi's face was gloomy.
Wei Zhong smiled awkwardly and continued, "The Second Young Mistress mentioned that you invited her and Second Young Master Bai to dinner at Yuqingzhai a few days ago. She said that you were humble and polite. She also said..."
Seeing Wei Zhong hesitate to speak, Sheng Zexi said impatiently, "Why are you hesitating? If you don't pass on these words, they will spread all over Yangcheng tomorrow."
"What Madam Bai said about the children from the same litter... doesn't necessarily mean that all of them have the same good character. It's common for a person to take advantage of his master's power." Wei Zhong touched his nose uncomfortably.
This Second Young Madam Bai is really something. It would have been fine if she had just scolded the Third Young Master, but why did she scold the entire Sheng family?
Sheng Zexi laughed: "Old Three is like a dog that can't spit out ivory. Nanchun's description is quite appropriate."
"The Third Young Master got furious after hearing this and ordered his men to arrest someone. The eldest Young Master Bai then brought up the Fourth Young Master, saying that Xiyanlou belonged to the Fourth Young Master and if the Third Young Master said he could destroy it, he would fight to the end!"
Sheng Zexi raised his eyebrows. Young Master Bai was quick-witted and knew that the third brother was most afraid of his fourth uncle.
"Mrs. Bai Er said she was barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes. If she died, she would take someone with her. Then she took the gun of one of her men and shot the third young master at the foot. Everyone present said that the shot was clean and efficient, without any hesitation.
The Third Young Master was terrified, probably fearing that Second Young Lady Bai would take his life. He uttered a cruel word and fled with his men... and left. "Ahem..." Wei Zhong cleared his throat.
Sheng Zexi burst into laughter after hearing this.
"This is where show meets real skill."
Wei Zhong nodded and said, "I see that everyone is showing some respect for the Second Young Lady Bai. The previous contempt and ridicule are completely gone."
"Forget about them. Just listening to him makes my blood boil. I wish I could turn back time and be there to witness his style." Sheng Zexi said with a smile, "The third brother is usually arrogant and domineering. There are so many people who want to see him make a fool of himself. Nanchun's clean shot today can be regarded as a relief for them."
"I just heard the Third Young Master making a fuss in the next yard."
"Let's make a fuss. It's better to make a fuss. Find a chance to publicize this matter in the house. We can't let our grandfather be kept in the dark and deceived, right? Also, prepare a big gift. I will go to Baiyuan in the next two days to apologize to Nanchun." Sheng Zexi said.
"You're going to apologize?"
"It's my fault that I didn't teach my elder brother well. Nanchun praised me for being humble and polite. Shouldn't I set an example for the third brother?" Sheng Zexi hummed a little tune and was in a very good mood.
