Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5485 The trump card
"Many things can only be experienced personally..."

“You can empathize with me.”

“There will be a turning point.”

The woodcutter's voice was low and quite meaningful.

……

"My brother was scared by me."

The woodcutter was somewhat surprised that his sudden inspiration was so effective.

“…He’s angry.”

The woodcutter smiled bitterly.

"Thought I was teasing him."

……

what?
The woman was slightly stunned.

Then she understood a little.

indeed……

The woodcutter's behavior would give his brother this illusion.

"I'll explain it to him."

The woodcutter shrugged, "I asked him to understand our feelings."

"He couldn't stand it after I pretended like this..."

"Has he ever thought about how long he has been behaving abnormally..."

"If we hadn't considered his feelings, we would have already shown our hand and couldn't stand it."

"How can I endure it forever?"

"I hope he-"

"Do not."

The woodcutter shook his head.

"I begged him to think about our feelings."

"I'm going to kneel down for him."

"Please ask him to forget the black monster and return to his previous state..."

……

The woman's mouth opened slightly.

Kneel, kneel down?
……

"Of course I didn't actually kneel down."

The woodcutter smiled.

"I'm just provoking that kid."

"That boy won't let me kneel down."

"I will force him to..."

"He disagreed with my request-"

“My requirements are not high.”

"He also said that I promised to give him three months."

"So I'm not asking him to forget the black monster."

"Although I'd love to."

“But I still keep my word.”

"I just asked him to..."

"Don't let a situation like last night happen again."

The woodcutter looked at the girl and said, "My brother just ran to an uninhabited forest late last night..."

"In a secluded place like that, as long as you don't encounter any wild animals, your brother won't attract any attention no matter how loud he shouts."

"But what if the black monster leads my brother to a busy market during the day next time?"

“Can you imagine what that would be like?”

……

The woman opened her eyes wide.

Of course she can!

That was an absolutely catastrophic event.

How important is a person’s reputation?

How important is a scholar’s ​​reputation?
My brother hasn't even passed the imperial examination yet, but his bad reputation has spread...

How could he still have a chance to rise to the top?

My younger brother would go from being a gifted scholar praised by everyone to a madman who was pointed at and discussed by everyone...

My brother's life...

It's ruined.

How serious are the consequences?

……

“…Absolutely not…”

The woman murmured.

I must never let my brother show any behavior related to the black monster in front of others.

No one would believe my brother's explanation.

They will only believe more and more that there is something wrong with their brother's brain...

My brother's brain has been damaged by reading...

There are many examples like this.

……

"My husband, you did the right thing."

At this point the woman couldn't agree more with the woodcutter's request.

“This request is very important.”

"You must get your brother to agree."

"Did my brother agree?"

The woman's face was filled with worry and anticipation.

……

The woodcutter laughed.

"As his brother, I have to kneel down to him..."

"Could he refuse?"

“…He agreed.”

……

Oh.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief.

Also.

My brother is about to kneel down to me, unless I am really heartless...

Otherwise it is impossible to refuse.

……

Their younger brother is naturally not such a heartless and cold-blooded person.

……

"Just promise."

The woman smiled.

They felt relieved and could be more tolerant of their brother's abnormal behavior.

Find all kinds of excuses for your brother's abnormal behavior.

But outsiders will not be as tolerant as they are.

If outsiders saw many of my brother's behaviors so far, they would definitely think that there was something wrong with his brain.

Auntie only saw some...

Didn't you tell them right away?

Some even suggested that they should stop their younger brother from studying.

So as to avoid damaging your brain by reading.

Now that I think about it, what my aunt said...

It doesn't seem to make sense...

……

The woman sighed inwardly.

How could it become like this?
She really didn't understand.

My brother has always been fine, how could he...

……

The woodcutter nodded.

"Don't let outsiders know..."

"I can give him three more months."

"hope……"

“He was really able to figure it out in these three months.”

……

The woman pursed her lips slightly.

"…What if you can't figure it out?"

My younger brother has a stubborn temper.

They all know.

My younger brother is the only educated person in their family.

she knows.

All scholars have some ego.

And a little stubborn.

Many scholars will not turn back even if they hit the wall.

……

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

The woodcutter curled his lips and said, "Then I will really kneel down to him."

"It seems that he is obsessed with the black monster of the moon in the mirror and the flower in the water..."

"Do you still want me as your brother?"

Although it's a bit "despicable" to do this, but when there is really no other way...

Just achieve the goal.

The process is not important.

……

The woman was slightly stunned.

Then she seemed to realize something.

That's right.

The situation has really become serious...

They also have a trump card.

You have to choose between the black monster and your brother...

The answer is obvious.

……

The woman curled up the corners of her mouth in satisfaction.

She felt relieved knowing there was a safety net.

but……

The woman still hopes...
"…It would be best if my brother could figure it out on his own."

Choices imposed by others are not beautiful after all.

It would be even worse if this caused a rift between the two brothers.

……

"nature."

The woodcutter nodded.

Of course, he also hoped that his brother could figure it out on his own.

He doesn't need to be the "bad guy".

I don’t know if my brother will blame him in his heart if he really becomes the “bad guy”…

……

"I hope that black monster won't appear in front of my brother again..."

The woman murmured.

Nothing would happen if the black monster didn't appear.

As time goes by...

My brother always forgets.

……

"That's my brother's imagination..."

The woodcutter frowned.

If my brother wants it to appear, it will appear.

Thinking that my brother was actually waiting for my imagination to appear...

It is obvious that if my brother wants it to appear, it can appear in front of him at any time.

Why go to all that trouble?
……

Ah!
The woodcutter thought of some reasons.

It seemed so simple to them...

Why can’t my brother think of this?

the reason is simple.

Because my brother firmly believed...

The black monster is real.

……

The woman smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Yes.

My brother didn't admit that it was his imagination.
……

This is the first time a woman has encountered such a situation...

Have absolutely no idea how to handle this?
The doctor and the woodcutter were also invited.

But the doctor didn't see the problem with my brother.

He is really a doctor who does not live up to his reputation.

The woman complained in her heart.
