Wu Mei left quietly when Jia Xie was about to wake up.

After Wu Mei left, Jia Xie slowly woke up.

As he shook his head to clear his mind, he smelled the scent of sandalwood.

Wu Mei specially lit it before she left. It had the effect of calming the nerves and clearing the mind.

Jia Xie smelled the scent of sandalwood and felt refreshed.

However, Jia Xie felt a little dizzy because of his deep sleep.

Jia Xie looked around and wondered, "That's strange. Why did you come back to the East Grand Courtyard?"

Jia She looked left and right, but he couldn't find anything wrong. He thought for a moment and felt that his personal servant must have found him in the teahouse and then sent him back the way he came without fear of difficulty (meaning climbing over the courtyard wall).

Since he could lie on the bed and sleep peacefully, it meant that his sneaking away hadn't been exposed.

It had to be said that Jia She was relieved when he realized this possibility.

Jia Xie got up and yawned a few times. His handsome face, which could be compared to a stunning beauty, showed obvious laziness.

"Where is he? Where is his servant? Where is he?"

When Jia She, who was lazy and had a trace of nobility, opened his mouth, it was earth-shattering.

Copper Coin, who was guarding the door and wondering how his master could sleep so much all day, hurriedly came in and said, "I'm coming, I'm coming. Master, you're awake again."

"What do you mean again? I just slept." Jia Xie opened his eyes wide and felt that something was wrong. He quickly changed his words.

"Wait, Copper Coin, what did you say? How did I come back?"

Copper Coin was suddenly confused.

"Master, have you been out?"

Wait a minute. Why does this tone sound so wrong?

Jia Xie, who had a sense of crisis, laughed and said, "What do you think?"

The copper coin giggled, "Of course I haven't gone out."

Jia Xie narrowed her eyes and was about to nod in appreciation of the copper coin's tactfulness when Silver Ingot walked in from outside. The face that Jia Xie despised as ugly revealed a smile that was more brilliant than a blooming chrysanthemum.

"First Master, what you said in front of the Duke and Madam just now made that tattletale Second Master lose a lot of face.

Silver Ingot heard that when Second Master returned to the small courtyard, he threw a huge tantrum. It is said that Second Master's favorite inkstone was personally smashed to pieces by Second Master. "

Jia Xie was surprised at first, and then she burst into laughter.

"Serves him right. To let this hypocritical Second Brother go against me.

This is bad luck, wahahahahaha! "

Jia Xie laughed heartily for a while before she realized what had happened.

"Wait, Silver Ingot, you said that I said in front of the Duke and Madam. Do you remember what I said?"

Silver Ingot explained what Wu Mei had done in front of Duke Rongguo and Lady Jia when she disguised herself as a Jia Xie.

Jia Xie seemed to be unfathomable and complacent, but in fact, he was extremely confused.

Wait, wasn't he sleeping all the time? How could he be so smart as to stab the hypocritical in front of his biased parents?

Yes, he must have done it when he was sleepwalking.

He didn't expect that he was not only smart and smart, but also skillful in tricking the hypocritical in his sleepwalking …

…

Jia She, whose mind was racing, held his cheeks and thought for a while. He decided to show his "brotherly love" and greet Jia Zheng, who had "accidentally broken his beloved inkstone".

Duke Rongguo had always advocated that brothers should respect each other. Today, he was in a good mood. When he saw Jia Zheng, he would not perform an opera. Instead, he would sing a song that praised his good mood.

Yes, he was such a person who loved his brothers …

Jia Zheng, who stayed in the study and smashed the porcelain furnishings, felt wronged.

After Jia Xie (Wu Mei) won a complete victory and tricked him, she went back to the East Grand Courtyard with satisfaction. Duke Rongguo asked Jia Zheng to go back to the study to practice calligraphy and warned him not to listen to the gossip of the servants.

Jia Zheng felt really wronged for being scolded and warned like this, which was rare.

The more Jia Zheng thought about it, the more wronged he felt.

He had seen Jia Xie climb over the courtyard wall with his own eyes. Logically speaking, Jia Xie should not be in the East Grand Courtyard. How could she be here?

Jia Xie, who firmly believed that there was nothing wrong with his eyes, became angrier and angrier.

Now, his little habit of smashing things to vent his anger because he was spoiled by the Lady Jia was acting up again …

Jia Zheng smashed the inkstone that Duke Rongguo had given him on his birthday. Unknowingly, he had smashed it to the ground and smashed it to pieces.

The sound of the inkstone falling to the ground calmed Jia Zheng down.

However, Jia Zheng did not calm down for long. When Jia Xie, who thought of himself as a good brother and came to show his' brotherly love ', arrived, he only smiled with squinted eyes. Jia Zheng felt wronged again and was very angry.

"Big brother, may I know what brings you to the courtyard?" Jia Zheng asked dryly, returning to his proper and rigid appearance.

"Second brother, your big brother is here to see you!"

Jia Xie was ruining his handsome face at this moment. He smiled and made a very vulgar expression at the same time.

Even Silver Ingot and Copper Coin, who came with him to watch the show, could not bear to look directly at him.

It was simply too damaging to his image.

However, Jia Zheng, who was the subject of his' concern ', did not think that Jia Xie was vulgar. Instead, he thought that he was up to no good.

Of course, Jia Xie was indeed up to no good. He specially came to Jia Zheng's place not for the so-called 'brotherly love' or 'brotherly love', but to gloat over his misfortune.

Ah, there was a saying that went, 'I am happy when I know that you are unhappy.'

Looking at the mess on the ground, Jia Zheng noticed that the inkstone, which was given to him by Rongguo Province and was usually very cherished, had been smashed into pieces today.

Jia Xie was in such a good mood that he almost could not help but hum a tune.

Of course, Jia Xie did not hum a tune. He just raised an extremely vulgar, extremely vulgar smile, which did not match his handsome face at all. He said with great hatred, "Oh, Second brother, it's not that I want to criticize you, but the servants in your courtyard are terrible. They are always so careless. Even if our family is rich and powerful, we can't stand such torment!"

Jia Zheng's face twitched in pain. "Big brother, what are you talking about? When did Second brother say that these things were broken by servants?"

"Hey, Second Younger Brother, things are often replaced in the courtyard. It's not the work of careless servants. Could it be that a stray cat sneaked in and smashed it?" Jia She narrowed his eyes and dug a hole for Jia Zheng in a particularly good mood.

This hole was not deep, but it was very disgusting. At least, Jia Zheng, who was a hypocrite, was disgusted.

Jia Zheng was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. His eyes, which were obviously of the same peach blossom type as Jia Xie's, were much more ordinary and dull. Red streaks appeared in his eyes.

His tightly pursed lips and red eyes all showed that Jia Zheng was very angry.

Seeing Jia Zheng like this, Jia Xie naturally knew that Jia Zheng was very angry.

What kind of person was Jia Xie? He was the kind of person who would stir up trouble unreasonably and run amok even when he was in the right.

Jia Zheng was so angry, but Jia Xie was in a very good mood. He was very happy and comfortable. The grievances and depression that he had been feeling from not being loved by his father and not being loved by his mother for many years were very well relieved.

Of course, with Jia Xie's narrow-mindedness, this degree of relief was far from enough. He felt that Jia Zheng was very sullen now, so he couldn't help but tease him again.

Jia Xie was a mischievous person, at least in the eyes of onlookers, such as copper coins and silver ingots.

But in Jia Zheng's eyes, she was a bad person who spoke glibly and slandered him.

However, who was Jia Zheng? Even though he was very angry and annoyed by Jia Xie's' viciousness' and almost hated Jia Xie to the core, he still kept a straight face. The only expression on his face was deep disappointment towards Jia Xie, who was his big brother.

Well, no wonder Jia Xie and Wu Mei thought that Jia Zheng was a hypocrite.

Judging from his ability to suppress his true emotions, he really was a hypocrite and didn't bury his good reputation.

Jia Xie really couldn't bear to see Jia Zheng show such an expression. Because every time Jia Zheng showed this expression, he would be scolded by Lady Jia, who was exasperated with him for failing to live up to her expectations.

At first, Jia Xie was very confused and didn't know why he was scolded. Later, after being scolded for a long time and seeing Jia Zheng expressing his deep disappointment towards him with his face and eyes, Jia Xie, who thought that he was a clever person, understood that his second brother couldn't bear to see him and wanted to get rid of him!

Jia She sneered in his heart. A pretty boy like me isn't someone you can get rid of just because you want to. He immediately grinned and began a new wave of verbal attacks, 'teasing' Jia Zheng to the point that he couldn't hold it in any longer. He directly roared in a fit of rage.

"You came here to laugh at me, didn't you? Oh, I'm sorry, I let you down."

Jia Zheng gnashed his teeth as he spoke.

Jia Xie didn't care at all. Instead, he was even more delighted and said in a despicable manner, "Oh, Second Brother, how can you misinterpret my good intentions like this?

Didn't I come all the way here to learn from you? "

Every time Jia Xie was scolded by Lady Jia, Jia Zheng would come here to 'remind himself to listen to the Lady Jia and not to always make Lady Jia angry'. Now that Jia Xie seized this rare opportunity, he couldn't help but 'tease' Jia Zheng with all his might, trying to make Jia Zheng feel the same kind of sadness he felt back then when he couldn't wait to beat someone up. It couldn't be better.

Jia Xie worked hard and finally left Jia Zheng's small courtyard with satisfaction.

After he left, Jia Zheng's little temper flared up and he smashed everything in the study room again.

There were no secrets in the big house. After Jia Zheng smashed the study room twice, Lady Jia soon heard about it.

Lady Jia naturally felt sorry for her sweetheart. On one hand, she cursed Jia Xie for being an unfilial son who didn't do anything for others. On the other hand, she acted like a madam and warned all the servants in Rongguo Province to keep their mouths shut and not let the news reach the Duke Rongguo's Jia Daishan's ears.

"Everyone's skin must be stretched taut. Whoever dares to gossip privately and say anything bad to the Duke will be skinned alive by me."

Lady Jia hurriedly tried to please her. "The servants in the Second Master's courtyard are too careless. The Second Master is too kind to punish them. Madam, you must keep a close eye on them and teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they will have bad intentions in order to avoid responsibility and have the guts to slander the Second Master."

Lady Jia also thought so and immediately nodded in agreement.
