To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 105 Princess is very angry

   "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated?" Luo Sheng smiled, raised his hand and knocked on the boy's head, "Did you get fooled by them?"

  The boy's complexion changed drastically, and he retreated to the corner with his hands on his forehead, his tone was cold and panicked: "I, I've heard of you!"

   If Miss Luo snatched him face to face, he would rather be beaten to death by them just now!

  Luo Sheng was also a little angry.

   It's not because of his nephew's defense against her, but because he doesn't know how to protect himself at all. There are better ways to choose, but he chooses the one that suffers the most.

   Don't even know good and bad, and don't understand human feelings.

  Miss Luo is a complete stranger to Xu Qi. After saving him, this silly boy not only didn't know how to say thank you, but also put the relationship between the two parties in a hostile position with one sentence.

   Isn't this stupid, does it have backbone?

  Luo Sheng said lightly, "I'll take you home."

   "No need!" The young man refused without thinking, staring at Luo Sheng with guarded eyes.

  Luo Sheng sighed and asked, "Xu Qi, did I save you just now?"

"I do not need-"

  Luo Sheng interrupted him: "Whether you think it's necessary or not, it's a fact that someone saved you. Before the other party makes any excessive demands, shouldn't you say thank you?"

  As a matter of fact, how many people who are really in a desperate situation don't long for the appearance of a savior. Saying that they don't need it is just an inexplicable and ridiculous self-esteem.

  A noble son, especially a son of the Hou family who is not protected by his mother, has such a temperament that he will suffer a lot of hidden losses.

  Xu Qi was stopped by the question, embarrassment flashed across his face, and then he became angry: "That's what you wanted, so what if I don't say thank you?"

  Luo Sheng walked towards the entrance of the alley with the corner of his skirt in his hands, his tone casual: "Will you lose a piece of meat if you say thank you?"

  Xu Qi pursed his lips and remained silent.

   Saying thank you will certainly not lose a piece of meat, but what if the other party has bad intentions for him?

  Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you also know that meat is indispensable to say thank you, so what about saying thank you?"

  Her eyes locked on the boy's face, with a mocking look on the corner of her mouth: "Just saying that will make you lose face?"

   "I—" Xu Qi wanted to say that wasn't the case, but felt that explaining it made him agree with the other party's heart.

   That seems even more embarrassing.

  Luo Sheng continued to walk forward, the light was getting better and better.

   "It doesn't depend on whether a person has face." Luo Sheng stopped and turned to look at the stubborn young man.

  Xu Qi raised his hand to cover his eyes.

  The sudden bright light made him a little at a loss, and also annoyed.

  He followed the girl out of the alley unknowingly.

  Luo Sheng waited for Xu Qi to put down his hands, and smiled faintly: "Okay, I don't want to talk nonsense, take you home or follow me home, you choose one."

  The boy looked shocked and angry: "You really, really—"

   Sure enough, I want to **** him face to face!

  Luo Sheng's tone was even colder: "Decision earlier."

  Xu Qi looked at the girl with a frost mask, then at the man with a relaxed expression, and finally at the maid with a fierce face, and said decisively: "I want to go back!"

  Luo Sheng nodded slightly.

   Not stupid enough yet.

   "Then let's go."

  Xu Qi's nerves were tense all the way, and he found out that he was indeed heading back to Changchun Hou's Mansion, so he eased up a little.

   "Do they often hit you together?"

   Xu Shi's tone of voice was too gossip, so Xu Qi said before he could react: "So what?"

   "Yes, yes, no, no, why do you have to ask? Does it make you feel good to irritate and provoke others?"

  Xu Qi was startled.

  He has never seriously thought about this issue, but, does it mean that he will lose face if he obeys what others say?

   "You have angered others, and you can make them swallow their anger. This is barely considered face-saving."

  The boy couldn't help but mutter: "Barely?"

Luo Sheng nodded: "Yes, the other party may not dare to speak out because of your background. For example, I am the daughter of the governor, and I dare not do anything when I beat those people up. It’s even worse to really have face.”

   "What does it mean to really have face?" Xu Xi asked subconsciously.

  Luo Sheng looked at the young man and smiled: "Use your own ability to convince the other party, and that's the real face. If you don't have face like that, you'll make a dead duck talk hard, you'll have a pit in your head, you'll be stupid..."

   This time, the boy was silent.

  Luo Sheng seemed to have forgotten the topic just now, and asked casually: "Since they often bully you, why don't you let the adults know?"

   "How can this work!"

  Luo Sheng stood still and looked at the young man: "Why not?"

  The teenager felt annoyed at being insulted: "Even a child of how old knows that he can't be a complainant. Am I not as good as a child of how old?"

   "How old is the baby?" Luo Sheng looked at the boy with a half-smile, "Which little baby have you heard such words from?"

   "My two younger brothers said that a few years ago." Xu Xi blurted out.

  Luo Sheng fanned his eyelashes, and the bottom of his eyes turned into frost.

  The Marquis of Changchun is really good.

  The pair of children left by the eldest sister, Xu Fang has not been engaged so far, and they live in other houses most of the time, Xu Qi has developed such a stubborn and unreasonable temperament.

   On the other hand, what about the one daughter and two sons of Changchun Hou's stepmother?

  The daughter is already famous at the age of twelve. The two sons have nothing to say because they are still young, but they knew what they said to their elder brother a few years ago.

  The two boys are not yet ten years old now, but they were only a few years old a few years ago.

  The child who was a few years old told his elder brother that he could not file a complaint if he was beaten, and the elder brother did not file a complaint, and then he became the target of wanton beatings by princes of various prefectures who were similar in age.

  The Marquis of Changchun didn't know about it, or said they didn't know it on the surface, so naturally no one stood up for Xu Qi, and no one else would accuse the Marquis of Changchun of being indifferent to his original wife's son.

   Such an unsightly and vicious method, without the handwriting of Changchun Hou's successor, she would not be the princess of Qingyang.

  Of course, Changchun Hou Xu Li, that scumbag needless to say, she will have her day to settle accounts.

   Now, let’s ask for some interest first.

   "Have your two younger brothers been surrounded and beaten by many people?"

  Xu Qi was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously shook his head.

  Luo Sheng sneered: "Since that's the case, how can you take what the two bigger dolls say seriously? Doesn't it hurt your back to talk while standing?"

"But-"

   "But what? Don't you think you're not as smart as your two younger brothers?"

  Xu Qi fell silent.

  He can't do anything well, and sometimes he does feel that way.

  Especially seeing my younger sister being famous far and wide at a young age, being praised by others, and thinking about myself and my elder sister who is also mediocre, this feeling is even more profound.

   Seeing the young man acquiescing, Luo Sheng's nose almost crooked in anger.

   Really think so?

  They all have the same father. Doesn’t this mean that one’s own mother is not as smart as someone else’s mother?

   That means her elder sister is stupid.

  She and the eldest sister are sisters, which means she is stupid!

   Said she was stupid?

  Luo Sheng coldly ordered Shi Yan: "Pick up Xu Qi and return home!"

Good morning.
