Chapter 287: Brotherly Friendship, Corpse of the Demon

The Gao family's matter was a muddled account. With Madam Qin pleading, Madam Yuan also scolded Yuanlong for Madam Qin, saying that he should be strictly disciplined, and the matter was put to rest.

But was Gao Yuanxing a fuel-efficient lamp?

Borrowing his younger brother's name to tease good women, and then jumping out afterwards to scold the fool for not acting like a human, Gao Yuanxing relied on looking the same as his twin brother to do whatever he wanted, and every time something happened, he let Gao Yuanlong take the blame.

He could also righteously scold his brother as an older brother. The key was that Gao Yuanlong was deaf and couldn't understand that his brother was scolding him. Even if he was scolded as a big fool, he just smiled honestly and scratched his head, thinking his brother was teasing him.

The fool was already a fool, and you still tease him!

Does it mean the fool is not a human, not raised by parents, and deserves to be teased by you?

Gao Yuanxing said yes.

This is not it; not long after he calmed down, Gao Yuanxing set his sights on the second mother, Madam Qin, again. This time he used the maid in the mansion to practice, forcibly occupied her body, and then framed the fool Yuanlong.

Anyway, Yuanlong was deaf and mute and couldn't defend his innocence.

Squire Gao couldn't beat him, couldn't scold him clearly, and finally had to promise the maid to Gao Yuanlong. Anyway, the maid was from his family, and it was just right to accompany Yuanlong. Maybe with a maid to accompany him, Yuanlong wouldn't do this again...

Gao Yuanxing thought, that's impossible. If he didn't do bad things, his life would lose a lot of fun, and that would be harder than killing him.

This day, when Squire Gao examined the children's studies, seeing that Yuanxing couldn't even compare to five-year-old Gao Qin, he often scolded him, instead holding Gao Qin in his palm, saying that his family had produced a prodigy and would definitely be a top graduate in the future!

Gao Yuanxing was narrow-minded; how could he swallow this breath?

A year later, one day Gao Qin returned from playing with his private tutor, and the teacher handed two poems to Squire Gao, saying they were written by six-year-old Gao Qin.

The first one was "Touring Spring Lake," written in a rather spiritual font:

Lotus leaves overlap like green coins, dragonflies stand on the tip of the rod.

Suddenly shaking the double oars to break the duckweed, laughing and pointing at the white gulls in the clouds and smoke.

Squire Gao was happy to see it. He looked at the second poem, titled "Ode to the Foolish Brother":

Chaos does not know cleverness, honestly holding the simple truth.

The world mocks stupidity, who knows the evil-hearted person?

Squire Gao fell into silence, while the private tutor stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.

Was the character of the Gao brothers really as it appeared on the surface, and only a six-year-old child could see it clearly?

Squire Gao said yes, and even if it wasn't, he said yes.

Who let him be a fool?

"Not bad, good poem, good poem!"

The silent Squire Gao was once again immersed in his youngest son's masterpiece.

Being able to write poetry at six, I think even if he can't compare to the Goose King and the Yellow Shepherd Boy, he is not far behind...

Gao Qin's reputation as a prodigy was revealed, and the entire Gao Mansion was particularly fond of the little young master Gao Qin.

Gao Yuanxing saw a concubine-born son so favored; how could he stand it in his heart?

And even his own mother kept mentioning Gao Qin in every two or three sentences. Am I your biological son, or is he a little bastard your biological son?

Gao Yuanxing gritted his teeth in secret.

One day, he tricked Gao Qin, "The eldest mother wants you to go to the backyard; she has important words to say."

No matter how smart Gao Qin was, he was only a six-year-old child.

As soon as he walked past the moon cave, Yuanxing took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, picked up a hammer he had hidden in advance, and smashed it down hard. He was finished!

Afterwards, Gao Yuanxing handed the blood-stained hammer to his brother Yuanlong, letting the foolish brother play with it, while he wiped his hands and pretended to read in the study, as if nothing had happened.

Squire Gao saw his youngest son Gao Qin die suddenly, and saw his foolish son Yuanlong holding a hammer like a treasure, and his heart felt a sudden tug.

What a sin!

Squire Gao felt sad in his heart, but when he asked Yuanlong, this foolish son only laughed foolishly, completely unaware of what had happened.

Madam Qin sought death and almost hit the wall and died, but fortunately, she was saved.

After dealing with his youngest son's funeral, Squire Gao could always see Gao Yuanlong wandering outside the courtyard where Gao Qin lived before he died.

Squire Gao questioned why no one drove the fool away, but the gatekeeper Old Ding sighed, "I watched the second young master grow up. Although he is a fool, he is not a bad person. He is just anxious because he can't see the little young master, so he ran here to wander. Old Master, how could the second young master do such a thing..."

Old Ding put his hands behind his back, hunched over, and without waiting for Squire Gao to respond, he hunched over and returned to the gatehouse on his own.

Squire Gao stood there for a long time.

That night, Squire Gao repeatedly watched the poems written by his youngest son before he died. After repeating "Ode to the Foolish Brother" once, Squire Gao immediately sent for the eldest young master.

Gao Yuanxing just arrived at the study, and before his butt sat down, Squire Gao asked coldly, "Is it really Yuanlong who killed Qin'er? I want to hear the truth!"

Gao Yuanxing reacted quickly and pretended to be confused, "Father, why do you say that?"

Seeing Squire Gao still staring at him without saying a word, Gao Yuanxing's heart jumped wildly, but he remained calm on the surface, "The child doesn't know what Father is talking about, but the child has never done anything to deceive Father."

Gao Yuanxing's eyes turned red, "The child is very depressed because of Qin's brother's matter. I went out to relax this morning and met a Daoist who claimed to be a divine calculator, so I told him about the sad matter in my heart and let him cast a hexagram. Does Father know what that person said?"

Gao Yuanxing answered for himself, "The Daoist said Yuanlong is foolish, and Qin'er is early-wise. This is Qin'er taking away Yuanlong's fortune, so Yuanlong is against Qin'er...

The Daoist also said that extreme wisdom hurts, and people who are extremely intelligent often suffer from Heaven's jealousy and are prone to early death."

Gao Yuanxing saw Squire Gao's face was extremely ugly, and immediately comforted him, "Father, don't be too sad. Some things may be destined by fate and cannot be saved by human power..."

Squire Gao watched the eldest young master leave, then called the gatekeeper servant and asked, "Did the eldest young master go out this morning?"

Everyone shook their heads, saying they hadn't seen him.

Squire Gao remained completely silent.

Less than half a month later, Madam Qin was haggard day by day because of her son Gao Qin's early death, and finally died on the bed.

Madam Yuan was Gao Yuanxing's biological mother and was like a sister to Madam Qin. After Madam Qin died, she suddenly questioned Gao Yuanxing, "Why did you harm your brother? Although Yuanlong is a fool, he would never harm Qin'er!"

Gao Yuanxing wanted to use his old tricks again, but was slapped directly on the face by Madam Yuan, "You loved to frame Yuanlong when you did something wrong when you were young. I am the biological mother of both of you; how could I not know your characters? If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have given birth to you!"

Gao Yuanxing was completely annoyed when he heard this, so he simply took off his mask and said bluntly, "So what if I killed him? I am the eldest son of the Gao family! I am your biological flesh and blood! This family business should have belonged to me, but you favored a concubine-born son. Am I your son, or is that bastard your son!"

Madam Yuan was shaking with anger, "You also know that you are the eldest son, and you also know that the future family business will be yours! The Old Master and I are good to Qin'er because this family business is not his, so we feel indebted in our hearts and want to compensate him for you. Why can't you understand?"

Gao Yuanxing heard this and scolded, "This family business is mine to begin with; where is the debt? That bastard shouldn't have lived in the Gao family!"

Madam Yuan was dizzy with anger, dragged Gao Yuanxing to the mourning hall, and kowtowed to Madam Qin to apologize.

Gao Yuanxing wouldn't agree, and in the push and shove, he slapped his biological mother to the ground.

Gao Yuanxing looked at Madam Yuan, who was crying on the ground, and finally didn't choose to help her up.

That night, a scream suddenly came from the mourning hall.

The Eldest Madam hanged herself!

And she used the white cloth of the mourning hall, hanging herself in front of Madam Qin's coffin.

Squire Gao wanted to drag Gao Yuanxing to report to the official in grief, but Gao Yuanxing couldn't agree.

If you don't let me live well, then don't think about living!

After killing Squire Gao, Gao Yuanxing was still not relieved. He took advantage of the night to kill everyone in the mansion, whether they were on night duty or sleeping, as long as he could meet them! ===== CHAPTER 288 =====
