Chapter 149 - Successfully acquainted

Seeing that Xi Rui was furious, Liang Youxiao asked, “So you’re not going to take revenge?”

Xi Rui sneered. “Why would I not? Am I so easy to scheme against?

“It’s just that there’s no easy way to do it.”

He stretched out his hands. “My father said that if I want to do it, I have to do it clean. If I’m just touching on the surface, then I should stop messing around.”

“I’m also angry to hear this, my friend.”

Liang Youxiao tossed a peanut into his mouth and continued, “Do you want to try something thrilling and fun?”

Xi Rui raised his eyebrows. “What kind of fun?”

Liang Youxiao gestured with his hand and waited for Xi Rui to come closer before saying, “Let the onlookers in the capital watch Xiao Yuanshi’s big show.”

Then, he told him about Shi Qingluo’s idea.

Xi Rui’s eyes lit up. “My brother, your idea is really wicked. I like it.”

Liang Youxiao wanted to say that this wasn’t his idea and he wasn’t the one who was wicked.

Xi Rui was not stupid. “Do you have a grudge against Xiao Yuanshi too?”

Otherwise, why would this fellow speak to him alone and even mention the Xiao family?

Most importantly, he wouldn’t be able to come out with a wicked idea in such a short period of time.

Liang Youxiao laughed. “I don’t have any enmity with Xiao Yuanshi, but my friend has enmity with Xiao Yuanshi and his wife.

“She was the one who came up with this.”

Shi Qingluo had said that it didn’t matter if Xi Rui knew that he would be sold.

After all, one’s enemy’s enemy was one friend.

In the future, they might become true friends after executing such a grand plan together.

Xi Rui’s interest was immediately piqued. “What friend? Could you introduce her to me?”

He liked people who could come up with such a wicked idea.

Liang Youxiao smiled and said, “She’s the one who came up with Mahjong and poker cards.”

“I still have something fun for you. When it is ready, I’ll send it to you and let you play with it.”

Xi Rui was speechless. “Can’t you let me play with it now?”

Liang Youxiao shook his head. “No.”

It wasn’t that he did not want to let Xi Rui play with the skateboard yet.

He was still rushing his productions to make skateboards.

If he let him try it first and others copied and sold them first, he would suffer a great loss.

He still wanted to earn his first pot of gold from the skateboards.

Xi Rui rolled his eyes. “It’s so annoying that I’m kept in suspense.”

He continued, “Then let’s plan carefully on how we are going to deal with Xiao Yuanshi.”

Liang Youxiao thought for a moment and said, “Go to the gambling house that the emperor’s uncle frequently visits tomorrow and deliberately say that Mahjong is very fun.

“Lure him to play Mahjong with us. After he is familiar with it, you can ask him if he wants to play more exciting games.

“Then let him know that Xiao Yuanshi has the same hobby as him.

“The emperor’s uncle will definitely be interested.”

Xi Rui rubbed his arms. “Why don’t you tell him?”

Liang Youxiao asked, “You are the one who has a grudge against Xiao Yuanshi, not me.

“I’m just watching the show. It’s fine if you don’t go. I have nothing to lose anyway.”

Xi Rui remained silent, this bastard was waiting for him here.

Nevertheless, how could he let go of such an exciting and fun thing.

He nodded. “Okay, I’ll go.”

Liang Youxiao could not help but ask, “By the way, if we succeed, will your father break your legs?”

Of course, Xi Rui thought to himself.

He chuckled. “If my legs are broken, I’ll say that you are also involved as we came up with this idea together.

“We’re brothers. When the time comes, let our legs be broken together.”

Liang Youxiao uttered under his breath, he didn’t have a foolish brother.

However, both of them were too bored and too fearless.

Even if their legs would be broken, they still had the guts to do it.

Therefore, in the next few days, he went to cheer up Old Lady Xi and others first…

The next day, Xi Rui went to a gambling den.

As expected, he met the emperor’s uncle.

Then, he went over and pretended to play a few games and looked uninterested.

“It’s so boring to place these small bets or big bets. Mahjong is more fun.”

The emperor’s uncle happened to hear this. “How is Mahjong fun?”

Recently, he had heard that the two old dukes were inviting others to play Mahjong together.

However, they were not in the same social circle.

In addition, those two came from the battlefield and smelt bad from the blood stains.

He did not like it and did not want to play with them.

Of course, they wouldn’t want to play with him either.

When he heard Xi Rui’s words, he couldn’t help but ask more.

Xi Rui immediately introduced him to Mahjong. “I am going to find Liang Youxiao to play Mahjong now. Uncle, if you are interested, you can come with me.”

The emperor’s uncle agreed without hesitation. “Sure!”

He patted Xi Rui’s shoulder. “You are not bad, let us forge a friendship together, kid.”

The friendship between dandies was as simple as this.

Thus, the two of them went to the teahouse that Liang Youxiao chose and started playing Mahjong.

Of course, they also played poker cards with him.

However, he preferred Mahjong and he actively came to look for them the next day.

Just like that, Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui were successfully acquainted with the emperor’s uncle and became increasingly close Mahjong friends.

Not only did they play Mahjong, they even invited each other to eat, drink and have fun together.

When the Liang and Xi families found out, they were speechless.

But who asked these two young masters to be good-for-nothings, so they couldn’t be bothered.

As long as the two brats and that uncle of the emperor didn’t cause trouble together, it would be fine.

However, they still warned the two of them not to imitate his behaviour too closely.

Apart from that, their families didn’t care much.

On the other hand, at the general’s residence.

Ge Chunru called Ge Chunyi over.

She looked at her younger brother with reluctance and said, “Chunyi, your brother-in-law has arranged for you to take up a post in the military. In half a month’s time, someone will send you directly to the border.”

If not because of the Xiao family, her younger brother would not have had to go so far away and start from scratch.

Ge Chunyi was also unhappy. “Sister, are we just going to let the matter of the Xiao family harming me rest?”

Ge Chunru narrowed her eyes. “Of course not.

“Your brother-in-law will also arrange for them to go to the border and let Eldest Grandson Xiao become a county magistrate.

“It’s just nice not far away from your military camp.

“When you have a firm foothold, you can take revenge whichever way you want.”

She said meaningfully, “There are often conflicts on the border. It’s normal for a few people to die.”

She knew that if her brother did not take revenge personally, he would still hold on to this matter and his future would be greatly impacted.

Therefore, she had been instigating Xiao Yuanshi to let the old Xiao family go to the border.

However, they would only leave after her brother went to the border.

Hearing his sister’s words, Ge Chunyi’s eyes lit up. “Okay. Sister, you’re so good!”

He had to kill the members of the Xiao family, or make their lives a living hell.

Ge Chunru reached out and patted his head. “You’re the only male member left in the Ge family, so I’ll do anything for you.”

She would definitely let her younger brother become successful in order to fulfil her father’s wish before he passed away.

Ge Chunyi nodded. “I’ll definitely do my best and not let you down.”

Then, he looked at his right hand. “It’s just that this hand affects the way I hold my sword. Recently, I’ve been practising with my left hand. I don’t know how long it will take for my left hand to be as agile as my right hand.”

That b * stard Xi Rui better watch out.

Ge Chunru’s heart ached to see her brother like this. “Don’t worry, I’ve already avenged you.

“In the future, as long as there’s a chance, I won’t let that good-for-nothing off.”

Her younger brother was her bottom line, no one was allowed to touch him.
