Du Yuanruo cried and shouted for his mother after being beaten up by Du Yuanyi. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the Duke’s Estate in the capital. His mother wasn’t around, and there was only his brother, who had always been strict towards him.

When he saw Du Yuanruo’s miserable state, the anger Du Yuanyi felt on the way here was finally relieved. He put down his rolled-up sleeves, turned around, and slowly walked to the chair at the side to sit down. He glanced at Du Yuanruo, who was still crying on the ground, with a disgusted expression.

“Why are you crying? How dare you cry?!

Go tidy yourself up and get your butt over here. I have something to ask you.”

Du Yuanruo didn’t dare to delay. With the help of a few servants, he got up from the ground and was helped out. After he went out to wash up and change his clothes, when he returned, the servants who had come with him were on the ground.

“You had quite a good time this time!” Du Yuanyi shook the stack of accounts in his hand in anger. Du Yuanruo subconsciously covered his head and kneeled on the ground. It was obvious that this wasn’t the first time he had done so. It was done with familiarity.

Along the way, they had only passed through a few cities, but this brat had already used 30 to 40 thousand taels!

Not only did he squander money on drinking and gambling, but he even had a courtesan…

If not for the fact that he had arranged for someone to come and clean up the mess, he would have already transported the courtesan back to the capital!

Under everyone’s watch, on one side, Pei Qian had handled everything well. On the other side, before Du Yuanruo even finished his task, a courtesan had already been sent the capital…

Fortunately, he didn’t succeed. If he really succeeded…

He would have become a laughing stock!

“Get up and answer me!” Du Yuanyi looked at Du Yuanruo, who was hugging his head and trembling on the ground. He silently repeated the words ‘He’s my biological brother’ dozens of times in his mind before barely suppressing his anger.

“Tell me, what happened during this period?! Didn’t they say that you had the plague? From the looks of it, you don’t look like you’ve suffered at all!”

Du Yuanyi raised his hand and pointed at the seat not far from him, indicating for Du Yuanruo to sit down.

Now wasn’t the time to worry about his younger brother being a good-for-nothing. Anyway, it was already an open secret that his younger brother was a good-for-nothing. The most important thing now was to figure out the situation in the refugee camp.

Although he couldn’t get anything important out of this good-for-nothing, he still had to ask.

“It’s all because of that bastard Pei Qian!” It would have been fine if Du Yuanyi hadn’t mentioned the plague, but this was Du Yuanruo’s sorespot. As soon as he mentioned it, tears flowed down his face.

Facing his brother, he had no scruples. With anger, grievance, and resentment, he told Du Yuanyi everything that had happened after he met up with Pei Qian.

Of course, regarding the details related to him, of course, he had to euphemize things. If he really couldn’t think of any way to euphemize things, he wouldn’t mention it!

In short, he made himself seem like the aggrieved underdog, while he made Pei Qian seem like the bully who had almost taken his life!

Du Yuanruo had planned things out very well. He probably wouldn’t be able to defeat that lunatic, Pei Qian, in this lifetime! But didn’t he have an older brother?!

Now that his brother was around, Pei Qian was useless!

“So, when the plague was spreading, you wanted to return to the capital?!”

Du Yuanyi looked at his younger brother, who was still immersed in his grievance. After a long time, he asked about the details Du Yuanruo had mentioned in his contradictory story.

“No, but what else could I have done but return to the capital?!

“At that time, our refugee camp encountered the plague. What else could I have done?!” Du Yuanruo slapped his thigh. Although he sensed that something was wrong and revealed a hint of guilt, he quickly raised his voice and said confidently.

Although his excuse was reasonable, what if…

“How difficult can it be to find another group of refugees in the empire?! If you guys hadn’t quickly ended the plague at that time, what if there had been no way to treat it? Wouldn’t the consequences be uncontrollable?!

“This is called… it’s called taking precautions! Yes! I heard this term from you previously. This is the correct term!”

“You’re saying that the person who entered the plague area to save people was a country girl doctor?!” Du Yuanyi lowered his eyes and mentally repeated his previous words a few times before slowly raising his head to continue asking.

“Yes, a woman! Tsk! She’s from the countryside. Not only does she look ordinary, but she’s also married!” Perhaps because he saw that his elder brother’s attitude was quite good at this moment, Du Yuanruo started to badmouth people again. “I really couldn’t tell that Pei Qian liked that type of woman!

Speaking of which, that dim-witted hunter is quite unlucky. After hunting for his entire life, he actually doesn’t know that he’s been cuckolded… Ouch!”

The more Du Yuanruo spoke, the more ridiculous his words became. Before he could finish commenting, he was kicked by Du Yuanyi.

At this moment, Du Yuanyi couldn’t even suppress his anger!

What kind of nonsense was this little bastard talking about in this sort of dire situation?!

“Do you know that if Pei Qian had really agreed to your decision just now, our family’s reputation probably would have been ruined!”

Du Yuanyi tried to calm himself down again, but realized that he couldn’t suppress his anger anymore, and he couldn’t be bothered to suppress it anymore. He raised his hand and pointed at the entrance of the tent. “Kneel down!”

“What’s making you so angry?!” Du Yuanruo was helped to the door by a few servants. Before he could kneel down, he saw Pei Qian walk in with a smile.

Seeing Pei Qian enter, for the first time, Du Yuanruo felt that his voice was so pleasant!

At least he didn’t have to kneel now!

“Long time no see. There’s nothing I can welcome you with! I can only try my best to arrange things for you!” Pei Qian didn’t even look at Du Yuanruo, who was standing at the door. He walked past him and walked in front of Du Yuanyi. He invited him with a smile, “Let’s go. I asked Qian He to hunt some wild animals on the mountain. I’ll try my best to be a host. Mr. Du, please come!”
