266 “How Could I Have an Idiot Like You As My Brother?!”

“How could I have an idiot like you as my brother?!”

Zhou Hengchang stared at Zhou Hengyuan for a long time. Finally, he couldn’t help but laugh. “At this moment, I don’t have time to waste with you!

In order to prevent you from causing trouble in the future, you can stay in the courtyard to reflect upon yourself for the time being!

From now on, without my instructions, no one is allowed to let you leave this courtyard!”

As if he had expected the reaction of the people in front of him, before they could speak, Zhou Hengchang turned his head and said to Sui Ning with an impassive expression, “Father, if you still want to dissuade me now, I won’t deal with this mess. Do whatever you guys want!”

“No, no, no. Hengchang, I don’t want to stop you! Your brother went overboard this time, but look, it’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow. It’s supposed to be a family reunion day. If you let your brother stay in this courtyard all alone, isn’t it…”

Naturally, Marquis Sui Ning knew that his second son was really angry. In addition, his eldest son had indeed gone too far this time! Although he liked his eldest son, he also knew that the person who could truly help safeguard his wealth in the future was Zhou Hengchang.

Therefore, as long as he was still alive, he had to stand on his second son’s side sometimes. As for after he died…

What did that have to do with him?!

However, although he had this understanding, when he thought of his unreasonable wife, he felt that he had to try his best in order to enjoy new year’s.

Just as he had expected, his second son was unwilling to give in. He directly rejected his suggestion. “If this matter really blows up, the Zhou family will be executed. How can there be a family reunion? A family reunion in the netherworld?”

Initially, Zhou Wen wanted to cry again, but Zhou Hengchang only glanced at her indifferently and said disdainfully, “Mother, continue to cry. I still care about our tiny bit of kinship, so I came back today to remind you and our family!

If you continue to cause trouble and destroy this bit of kinship, how about I send you and my brother to your deaths?!”

After Zhou Wen choked on a hiccup, her eyes rolled back and she fainted. The room became even more chaotic!

This time, Zhou Hengchang was determined to punish Zhou Hengyuan. Even if Zhou Wen fainted, he only ordered someone to drag her out with a cold expression. In the end, he ordered someone to seal the courtyard door and arranged for two teams to take turns guarding it. This completely eliminated the possibility of Zhou Hengyuan interacting with the outside world!

After dealing with these things, Zhou Hengchang didn’t want to go to the main courtyard to waste time with his parents. He brought his horse out. He originally planned to go to his courtyard to rest for a few days. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the Zhou family’s door, he saw Wei Qing sitting on his horse and looking at him with a smile.

“What are you doing here again?!”

Zhou Hengchang felt annoyed.

After his previous encounters, he was afraid to see Wei Qing now! He felt that nothing good happened whenever he saw Wei Qing!

“I knew you would be chased out of your house, so I came here early in the morning to wait for you! How is it? Aren’t I a good friend?!”

Wei Qing ignored Zhou Hengchang’s sullen expression. He only chuckled and pulled him closer as he said, “It’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow. You look quite pitiful all alone. Why don’t you come with me?

How about we drink together and celebrate the new year together?!”

“Who’s your friend?” Zhou Hengchang frowned and glared at Wei Qing with a disdainful expression. “Also, I’m fine being alone. I don’t need to mess around with you!”

“Hey, hey, hey, what are you saying?! If you don’t think we’re friends, then I won’t keep your secret for you!” Wei Qing wasn’t surprised that he was rejected directly. He only chuckled and rode his horse to follow Zhou Hengchang as he said meaningfully, “If I tell people you’re brother…”

“Where are you going?!” Zhou Hengchang turned around and glared at Wei Qing. He reluctantly chose to compromise!

Wei Qing raised his whip smugly and sped up. “Let’s hurry up and rush back to Cloud Mountain City before the sky darkens! Let me tell you, don’t be ungrateful. My brother just sent me good wine from my hometown. If it weren’t for the fact that you’re homeless and pitiful, I wouldn’t have taken it out to drink with you!”

“I’m not homeless!”

“Don’t be embarrassed. Who hasn’t been chased out of their home before?!”

Wei Qing and Zhou Hengchang didn’t stop arguing along the way, but their speed wasn’t slow at all. At dusk, a group of people rushed into the city gate of Cloud Mountain City and went straight to Pei Qian’s residence.

In the evening, the snow that had stopped for a few days started again.

Pei Qian went to the general’s residence in the morning. When he went, he was empty-handed, but when he returned, he was carrying a bunch of things. He even brought back two red plum trees that were blooming.

He instructed someone to send one over for Lin Suisui and the others. He kept one for himself and asked Qian He to plant it in the courtyard.

When Wei Qing led Zhou Hengchang through the door, Pei Qian was wearing a cloak and holding a hand stove while standing beside the blooming winter plum tree as he admired the flowers. When he heard the commotion at the door, he slowly turned around and looked at the two of them with a smile. He said in a good mood, “You guys came at the right time. How’s my new plum tree?”

“Not bad!” Wei Qing followed Pei Qian’s gaze and nodded. “But where did you get this red plum tree?”

He couldn’t have possibly gone to the plum garden to dig it up, right?!

Wei Qing couldn’t help but wonder. No matter how powerful Pei Qian was, if he went to the Frigid Cloud Temple to ask for red plums now, he would still be rejected by Monk Kong Yun.

“In the general’s residence!” Pei Qian replied matter-of-factly. “Anyway, no one in the general’s residence has the time to admire flowers. It’s a pity that no one admires the plum blossoms there!”

As Pei Qian spoke, he slowly circled the plum blossom again before stopping. He seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Wei Qing and Zhou Hengchang, who had indescribable expressions. He asked, “You haven’t had dinner yet, right?”

“We rushed all the way here. How could we have time to eat?!” Wei Qing nodded and replied bluntly.

“That’s good. They probably set up the meal next door already. Let’s go over now!” Pei Qian nodded. He didn’t feel that anything was wrong at all as he invited Wei Qing and Zhou Hengchang along. “I just sent fresh venison over this morning. I heard that there’s roasted venison tonight. It’ll be a pity to miss it!”
