Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5448 It’s all true
"Sorry for the trouble, sister-in-law."

The young scholar smiled.

……

"Why are you being polite to your sister-in-law?"

The woman shook her head.

……

"you should rest earlier."

After giving the young scholar some more advice, the woodcutter and the girl left.

……

The young scholar pursed his lips slightly.

If it weren't for the late time...

He really had the urge to ask his sister-in-law to make steamed buns for him right now.

He wanted to go faster and faster... to see the black monster.

……

The woodcutter and the girl returned to their house.

The woman looked at the woodcutter.

"Can you tell me what happened now?"

"What has delayed my brother these days and why has he not come back?"

"Are you in trouble?"

"still……"

The woman was a little embarrassed to say it out loud.

……

“He failed the exam.”

The woodcutter was very straightforward.

……

After a brief pause, the woman nodded.

Oh.

really.

She wasn't very surprised.

I found out from the fact that my younger brother didn’t come back immediately after he took the exam and got the results.

……

"he……"

The woman weighed her tone.

"Are you ok?"

……

"not too good."

The woodcutter frowned.

His face is not very good.

……

what?
The woman was a little surprised.

There was nothing wrong with her looking at the young scholar while they were having dinner just now.

But she understands.

"My brother studies so hard..."

“It was hard to accept that I didn’t pass the exam.”

"But it's okay."

"My brother will figure it out soon."

.....
"He can't figure it out."

The woodcutter clenched his fists.

……

what?
The woman was even more surprised, "Is the blow so great?"

"It's fine."

“Very few people can pass the exam in one try.”

"My brother is so smart and hardworking."

“This time it failed.”

"I will definitely succeed next time."

……

"don’t worry."

Seeing that the woodcutter still looked unhappy, the woman reached out and patted the woodcutter's arm.

"My brother is amazing."

"It won't be so easy to be hit."

"Give him some time."

"He will soon be studying hard like before."

……

The woodcutter shook his head.

"That's not the problem..."

……

"What's the problem?"

The woman was surprised.

Isn't this the question?

So what's the problem?
……

The woodcutter pursed his lips.

He looked like he wanted to say something but was hesitant.

……

"how?"

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, "You can't even tell me?"

"Row."

"I see."

"I am the most sensible person."

"You don't want to say I didn't force you."

"of course."

"I can't force you."

……

"no……"

The woodcutter was a little confused, "How did it get to this point?"

"I didn't say I wouldn't tell you."

"I just haven't figured out how to say it..."

……

"Is it such a difficult thing?"

The woman was really curious, "About my brother?"

"What happened to my brother?"

The woman didn't know, what could be more serious than her brother failing the exam?
……

The woodcutter rubbed his temple.

He sighed silently.

"you……"

"Do you remember what your aunt said when she came here?"

……

"Aunt?"

The woman was stunned.

These were words she had never thought would come out of the woodcutter's mouth at this moment.

"What she said..."

The woman frowned and thought. "What?"

The woman murmured.

It's been quite a while since my aunt came over last time...

She didn't make any special effort to remember what her aunt said.

Now I was suddenly asked...

She was really confused.

"What did she say?"

"Is it related to my brother?"

Aren’t they talking about their brother?

Why are you talking about aunt suddenly?
……

"Didn't she say she saw her brother talking to someone?"

The woodcutter was very straightforward.

What is there to hide from your wife?
……

Oh ~
The woman suddenly understood.

"You said this..."

She remembered.

At that time, some of my aunt's words and actions made them a little unhappy.

My aunt insisted on what she saw.

He also said some unpleasant words.

Although I seemed to be convinced by my brother's explanation later...

Then he told everyone about his brother's affairs.

As a result, she went to the market and came back very angry.

But later she went to the market with her brother.

Isn't this matter resolved?
The woman is puzzled.

"Wasn't it made clear at the time?"

……

"And didn't your brother's child say later that he saw a black monster in his brother's study?"

The woodcutter did not answer the woman's question, but continued.

……

The woman nodded.

Ok.

This happened much closer to the present.

She remembered it immediately.

……

"And you."

The woodcutter looked at the girl and said, "Didn't you also see your brother talking to someone in the study?"

……

"My brother said he was talking to Wenquxingjun."

The woman remembers her brother's explanation very clearly.

……

"Wenquxingjun..."

The woodcutter grinned.

Ah.

"...He actually imagined a God of Literature..."

……

"what?"

The woman was very confused.

"Why are you saying this?"

"Aren't these all things of the past?"

"Why bring it up again?"

The doubts and inexplicable uneasiness in her heart made the woman a little anxious.

"oops."

"Say it quickly."

……

The woodcutter curled his lips.

“I hope it’s a thing of the past…”

"But my brother told me today..."

The woodcutter's mouth was pursed into a straight line.

……

"tell you what?"

The woman became more and more anxious.

"Say it quickly."

Saying half and keeping the other half is the most intriguing.

……

"He said……"

The woodcutter's expression turned strange. "Those are all true."

……

"Really?"

The woman was stunned.

"……What's the meaning?"

How come it is true?
Recalling their previous conversation...

After a while, the woman suddenly opened her eyes wide, "He is really talking to someone?!"

……

“There really are black monsters.”

The woodcutter grinned.

……

"Are there really black monsters?!"

The woman opened her mouth.

"How can it be??!"

This was the woman’s first reaction.

Black monster or something...

How could it be true?
……

"Yes."

The woodcutter sighed, "How can it be true?"

"But my brother thinks it's true."

……

The woman was stunned again.

These words...

"Brother thinks... it's true?"

What do you mean?
……

"He told me that there really are black monsters."

The woodcutter bared his teeth, his expression becoming a little awkward. "It's the black monster your brother's child saw."

"Aunt and what you saw was him talking to the black monster."

"He also didn't suddenly develop an appetite."

"All that extra food is for the black monster."

"...My brother has always regarded the black monster as a good omen."

“I think it can help me get a good grade in the imperial examination.”

"So I became a little lazy about my studies..."
