492 Too Nervous
He chewed slowly as he was not in a hurry.
“Please enjoy your meal well. We’ll come back to get the utensils later.” Xue Sifu laughed.
“Alright,” he said. Shao Shuting smiled. “Thank you for your kindness.”
“You’re too polite.” Xue Sifu laughed, then brought the two precious children out.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan noticed that something was wrong with Sifu. They felt that Sifu had something to say to them, so they followed him out obediently.
As soon as he came out of Shao Shuting’s room, his brother’s expression changed immediately. He was no longer smiling.
However, Sifu was not in a hurry to say anything to them. Instead, he led them all the way to the entrance of Xue Dagui’s courtyard. When they were far enough away, he could not help but bend over and ask in a low and urgent voice, “Tell me the truth, where did you pick him up?”
“Near our stall,” Jiang Yue replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, Sifu immediately continued, “Is it the alley where the two people died?”
Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.
“Why do you think so?” Xue Yan asked. This should be the reason why Sifu felt that something was wrong.
Xue Sifu’s voice became even softer, his entire being filled with worry, “When I treated those bailiffs to ice, they told me something. They said that the two men were killed by a sword, and he had a sword… Even if he didn’t get injured today, you guys picked him up today and he was near our stall.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not surprised at all that Sifu managed to connect the two pieces of information together.
Originally, two people had died in town today, but they had saved one. Even without the sword, Sifu would have been suspicious.
However, the matter of the sword had increased Sifu’s suspicion, which was why his expression had changed.
Jiang Yue said calmly, “He was picked up from that alley, and the two people were really killed by him. However, it was because the two people followed him and wanted to kill him. After he killed the two people, he saw me. However, he didn’t do anything to me at that time. He even talked to me and teased me. He shouldn’t be a bad person, so Xue Yan and I picked him up.”
She could only explain this much. It was better not to say that he was the general, or it would be hard to explain to Xue Yan.
Sifu tried to calm himself down. He didn’t know what to say to the two precious children. He was extremely uneasy. No matter what, he had killed someone. How could his two precious children not be afraid?
“From the way he talked, he really doesn’t look like a bad person. He seems to be quite well-educated… He also looks like a young master from a rich family… There seemed to be a sense of righteousness in his body… Maybe I’m overthinking it… Still! You’re both just kids!”
As he spoke, Xue Sifu felt more at ease. Then, Xue Sifu naturally revealed a smile, “It must just be the nerves. Alright, let’s go back. We’ll come back to get the bowls and chopsticks later.”
“You’ve been busy all day, Sifu,” Jiang Yue said. “You should go back first. Xue Yan and I still have to make some medicine for him. He hasn’t taken his medicine for tonight.”
