After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 301

Chapter 301: Let’s Go, Fight!
With a single sentence, Yun You’s anger was soothed. He huffed, “I’m still mad. Kiss me again.”

Zhouzhou immediately held his face and planted another kiss on him. Yun You instantly beamed, resembling a big dog that was easily appeased.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou wiggled her short legs, signaling him to put her down. She then pulled him to sit on a chair and took out hemostatic medicine to sprinkle on his hand.

Looking at his wound, she felt a pang of sympathy and furrowed her small brows. “Third Senior Brother, who is this Song family?”

“A bunch of scoundrels,” he fumed at the mention of the Song family and explained the relationship between their families.

“Song Wei was an old acquaintance of ours, dealing in antiques. My father even taught him the trade. Song Wei fawned over my father, trying to secure a connection with our family by insisting on betrothing his daughter to my elder brother.”

“We thought he had a knack for business, and Song Shengsheng seemed decent enough, so we agreed. We even gave her our family heirloom, the Phoenix and Peony Bracelet, as a betrothal token.”

“Who would have thought she and her father were so vile? As soon as my brother had an accident, they wanted to break off the engagement and even tried to deceive us with a fake bracelet.”

“It turns out they were behind my brother’s illness too. If we don’t take revenge on them, I won’t be called Yun!”

Zhouzhou felt a bit confused by the complicated story but caught onto one key point: “Is the real bracelet valuable?”

“Of course it’s valuable. It’s a Tang dynasty artifact, an heirloom passed down to daughters-in-law, not daughters.”

A treasure! Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up. “Then how did it get swapped for a fake one? Didn’t you recognize it?”

At this, Yun You sheepishly touched his nose and muttered, “Well, no.”

Yun Heng nodded helplessly. Their parents had died early, and he had raised his younger brother. The boy had always been impetuous and unrestrained.

He didn’t want to stifle him too much, so he let him become a Taoist priest. He only wished to protect him and let him live a peaceful and happy life.

He hadn’t expected his brother to grow up so naive. The Song family had timed their visit perfectly, coming when Yun You was home alone, knowing he wouldn’t notice the fake bracelet.

Such cunning.

Yun Heng’s eyes turned cold, his fingers gently rubbing together as he narrowed his eyes dangerously. The Song family had truly outdone themselves.

Zhouzhou hadn’t expected Yun You to fail to recognize the fake. She wanted to scold him but swallowed her words, seeing his remorseful expression. She held his hand and said, “It’s okay, I’ll go help Third Senior Brother get it back.”

Dare to bully her Third Senior Brother? They deserved a beating!

Yun You, touched, looked at her excitedly. “Then let’s go now. The Song family has a lot of treasures. We should smash them all to teach them a lesson!”

Zhouzhou shook her head, “We can’t smash them. We should take them and sell them!”

How could they destroy treasures? Such wastefulness.

“That works too,” Yun You nodded, obediently agreeing with her. “Let’s bankrupt their family instead.”

“But we don’t know where they hid the real bracelet. We must retrieve it.”

“Don’t worry,” Zhouzhou patted her small chest, “I can find it!”

Though Yun You was older, he knew her abilities well. Hearing her assurance, he felt relieved and started plotting with her on how to deal with the Song family.

The more they talked, the more excited they became. Hand in hand, they headed out for a confrontation.

Mu Xuan helplessly stopped them. “We’ll go tomorrow; it’s already dark now.”

This was one reason he hadn’t told Yun You about Zhouzhou coming down the mountain. Despite their twenty-year age difference, the two got along extremely well and had caused considerable chaos on previous visits.

They created messes without cleaning them up, leaving him to deal with the aftermath. They were more troublesome than mischievous children.

Unaware that her honest and sincere Eldest Senior Brother was inwardly grumbling about her, Zhouzhou glanced at the darkening sky and nodded regretfully. “Alright.”

But she quickly brightened up again. “We’ll go tomorrow then. I’ll bring my secret treasure, and the villains won’t be able to hide any of their treasures!”

Yun, You asked curiously, “What secret treasure?”

Zhouzhou shook her head, placing a chubby finger to her lips in a shushing gesture, and blinked mysteriously. “You’ll find out tomorrow, Third Senior Brother.”

Yun You’s curiosity was instantly piqued.

Yun Heng watched them, initially intending to dissuade them. He adhered to the principle of resolving matters peacefully. However, seeing his excited younger brother, he sighed softly. Let him vent his frustration first.

Otherwise, it would fester. As for bankrupting the Song family, he would handle it. If they loved counterfeits, he would flood them with them.

A cold smile played on his lips, his eyes filled with icy resolve. Dare to deceive his brother? They were courting death.

Ten minutes later, the acupuncture session ended, and Zhouzhou removed the gold needles. Looking at his face, she asked curiously, “Uncle, who extended your life?”

This technique she had only seen in the books her Ancestral Master had given her. The Ancestral Master said it was a heaven-defying art, to be used only as a last resort.

“I met a master by chance who saved me. But he said it was a temporary fix, giving me only fifty more days.”

Hearing this, Yun You’s heart tightened. “Then my brother will still die?” He looked to Zhouzhou for an answer.

Zhouzhou had never encountered such a situation. Scratching her head, she saw his complex face, caught between life and death, and couldn’t be certain about the outcome.

“Don’t worry, he won’t die,” Ancestral Master suddenly appeared, floating cross-legged in the air, munching on an apple Zhouzhou had given him.

“This isn’t a natural disaster but a man-made one. Solve it, and he’ll be fine. Although the life-extending technique is heaven-defying, the caster was benevolent and used spiritual power, not some dark magic. Yun Heng has done many good deeds, gaining merit and protection. The caster was just not skilled enough to fully resolve it.”

So that’s how it was. Zhouzhou’s curiosity about the person grew.

“Uncle, what did he look like?” she asked.

Yun Heng recalled, “An old man in a Taoist robe, somewhat shabby. I initially thought he was a fraud.”

He felt a bit ashamed saying this and pulled a talisman from under his pillow. “He gave me this.”

Zhouzhou took it and was even more surprised upon seeing a mark on it. “It’s from our Sanqing Temple?”

Hearing this, Mu Xuan and Yun You leaned in for a closer look.

“Indeed, it is,” they said.

They had never heard of such a person at Sanqing Temple. An old man like that should be of their master’s generation. The most skilled among them was Uncle Tang, who was known for his cleanliness.

Thinking of someone shabby, Zhouzhou rubbed her chubby chin. She seemed to know who it was, but it couldn’t be him, could it? He wasn’t that skilled. Unable to figure it out, they let it go.

As it was getting late, Yun Heng invited them to stay at the Yun residence, and they agreed. Zhouzhou called Qin Er to tell him he no longer needed to run, having finished her divination. Finally, Qin Er slept soundly, hugging his bank card.

Zhouzhou and Yun You put their heads together, plotting for the next day, while Qin Lie drove to the Qin residence to fetch Zhouzhou’s secret treasure.

The next morning, Zhouzhou woke up early, energized by the prospect of the coming battle. Yun You, rubbing his eyes, asked curiously, “Zhouzhou, what is your secret treasure?”

Zhouzhou smiled and pointed with a chubby finger. “This!”

Following her gesture, Yun You’s eyes widened in astonishment…
