Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5427 Pretending to be confused

“I didn’t talk to anyone else.”

"You saw it too."

The young scholar spread his hands slightly, "There is no one else in my room."

……

If they had, they wouldn't be sitting here talking face to face with the young scholar.

The woodcutter and the woman whispered to each other subconsciously.

It's because they didn't see anyone else in the room...

The problem became serious.

……

"what."

The young scholar looked as if he had remembered something.

"Maybe my sister-in-law saw it that day..."

"It is true that I am talking to someone."

……

what? !

The woodcutter and the girl both opened their eyes wide.

……

The young scholar curled up the corners of his mouth.

"That day I was talking to Wenquxingjun."

……

Wen, Wenquxingjun?
The woodcutter and the woman were both stunned.

what?
……

The young scholar laughed.

"It's just that I read too much, and sometimes when I'm resting, I think about the future..."

"Thinking about my future..."

“I studied so hard…”

“Will there be any reward…?”

"I couldn't help but ask about Lord Wenquxingjun..."

"Maybe……"

"That's why you see me as if I'm talking to someone."

"I was talking to someone."

"I am talking to the God of Literature."

……

Oh ~
Both the woodcutter and the woman had a look of realization on their faces.

It turned out to be the case.

……

"Why didn't you say it at first?"

The woodcutter had some small complaints.

I didn't tell my aunt when she asked me that day.

This caused my aunt to become suspicious of my brother.

After returning, he spread bad rumors.
The woodcutter couldn't be in a good mood when he thought about the rumors the woman told him about her brother that she heard at the market.

……

The young scholar smiled.

"I was actually a little confused by my aunt's question at the time."

"I still feel a little angry..."

"I didn't think of this at first, maybe that's the reason."

The young scholar spread his hands and said, "I don't want to explain too much to my aunt later."

"I think my previous explanation is enough."

"did not think of……"

The young scholar shook his head slightly, "My sister-in-law has the same suspicion as my aunt."

"Since my brother and sister-in-law are here together..."

"Of course I will tell my brother and sister-in-law everything."

……

It turned out to be like this...

The woodcutter and the woman looked at each other.

The young scholar's explanation is reasonable.

There is nothing to doubt.

Besides...

The woodcutter and the girl's hearts were originally inclined towards the young scholar.

As long as the flaw is not too obvious, they won't care.

……

The woodcutter laughed.

He reached out and patted the young scholar's arm.

"You boy."

"You should have told me earlier."

"Your aunt wouldn't-"

The woodcutter's voice suddenly stopped.

……

The young scholar keenly sensed something.

He asked, "What?"

“Aunt…”

An idea suddenly occurred to the young scholar, "Did she do anything?"

The young scholar frowned.

Because of the unknown, I felt a little uneasy.

……

"nothing."

The woodcutter was somewhat annoyed.

He hadn't planned to tell his brother about this.

No matter what the situation is with my brother...
Telling my younger brother about this would only add to his troubles.

It doesn't help the matter itself.

On the contrary, if my younger brother really gets into trouble because of studying, knowing this will only aggravate his problem.

……

If his younger brother hadn’t been staring at him at this moment, the woodcutter really wanted to slap himself in the face.

Let him keep his mouth shut.

How did you say that?
My brother is so smart...

The woodcutter knew it would be difficult to hide the secret from his brother.

Unless he uses his status as the elder brother to force his younger brother not to investigate...

……

"elder brother."

The young scholar put on a serious expression. "Is it about me?"

"Then I have the right to know."

"Isn't it?"

……

"If you don't tell me..."

Seeing that the woodcutter was still hesitating, the young scholar emphasized, "I will always keep this in mind."

“I can’t concentrate on studying anymore.”

……

"You will not."

The woodcutter blurted out.

……

Ok?
The young scholar was stunned.

what?
……

The woodcutter said seriously, "You won't."

"I know how much you care about studying."

There was even a bit of determination to die if he didn't succeed.

So the absurd guess that Auntie made...

In fact, it made his heart skip a beat.

But he still chose to believe his brother.

Until my wife made the same discovery.

Even though I remember very clearly what my brother explained to my aunt at that time, I know that they were most likely given the same explanation.

of course.

He is not saying that this explanation is false or an excuse.

But even though he knew all this, he still came to find his brother in person...

He wanted to hear his brother's own explanation.

I want to check my brother's condition with my own eyes.

otherwise……

He believed in his brother.

He would never let such a ridiculous thing affect his brother's studies.

……

But unexpectedly...

My younger brother gave them a new explanation.

A more reasonable explanation.

……

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the young scholar smiled.

"Yes."

He gambled everything on studying.

He was bound to... succeed.

……

"All right."

The woodcutter stood up and said, "That's the end of this matter."

"We won't mention it again."

"I won't let this matter disturb your studies again."

……

The woman also stood up along with the woodcutter.

……

The young scholar also stood up.

"elder brother."

The young scholar raised an eyebrow.

"Did you forget something?"

Why do you want to leave like this?
……

what?
The woodcutter was puzzled.

"What did I forget?"

……

The young scholar shook his head slightly.

He discovered that his brother was actually quite good at pretending to be confused.

"You haven't told me yet..."

The young scholar smiled and asked, "What did Aunt do again?"

……

The woodcutter's face froze slightly.

After a few seconds, the woodcutter's body relaxed.

Ok.

It seems that there is no way to escape this problem.

The woodcutter shook his head helplessly.

"It's not an important matter..."

……

"Then tell me."

Young scholars do not retreat.

……

The woodcutter and the young scholar looked at each other for a while.

Then he grinned slightly, "Okay."

……

"Your sister-in-law discovered it by accident."

The woodcutter said.

"Your sister-in-law went to the market and overheard some rumors about you."

Since he had said he would tell the young scholar, the woodcutter did not hide it.

"It's what your aunt said before."

……

The young scholar's face turned somewhat gloomy.

“Those words…”

"Has it all spread?"

……

The woodcutter shook his head.

"I don't know."

"Maybe your sister-in-law just happened to hear it."

"Don't worry."

"This unfounded rumor won't last long."

"soon……"
