Chapter 1315: 642 Beating Up (Third Update) Chapter 1315: 642 Beating Up (Third Update) “`
After Lord Jing returned to the Duke Residence from Gu Jiao’s place, the first thing he did was to have the Second Lady prepare some ancestral paper money, as he intended to burn some.

The Second Lady was utterly confused, “Who are you burning paper money for all of a sudden?”

Lord Jing said, “For my eldest brother-in-law!”

The Second Lady choked, “Who are you cursing!” She paused, then remembering something, she said, “That’s not right, you only have a younger brother-in-law, when did you get an eldest brother-in-law!”

She was the eldest daughter in her family, having no brothers, only a younger brother.

Lord Jing straightened his back and said, “My elder brother’s eldest brother-in-law is also my eldest brother-in-law!”

The Second Lady: “…”

Indeed, the Second Lady remembered that when Lord Jing was younger, he was quite the troublemaker, repeatedly chased and beaten up countless times by the legitimate eldest son of the Xuanyuan Family. Later, when he learned that Xuanyuan Hao was his elder brother’s brother-in-law, in order to suffer fewer beatings, he also started calling him “eldest brother-in-law.”

In fact, there were so many legitimate sons in the Xuanyuan Family. Despite Xuanyuan Hao beating Lord Jing the most, he also protected him the most, so Lord Jing regarded Xuanyuan Hao with both fear and respect.

“Why all of a sudden did you think of burning paper money for him?” the Second Lady asked.

Lord Jing furrowed his brows and asked, “Do you… not think that the lad from Zhan Country… has eyes very similar to my eldest brother-in-law?”

The Second Lady said weirdly, “Talking about Mu Qingchen’s schoolmate? That quack doctor who deceives and swindles?”

Lord Jing nodded vigorously, wasn’t that swindling? He had been swindled out of 500 taels today.

“I didn’t notice,” the Second Lady shook her head, “How could someone from a lesser country look like a legitimate son of the Xuanyuan Family?”

“Not the looks, but the eyes, those tiny eyes full of murderous intent!” Lord Jing tried to explain, but the Second Lady still had a look of incomprehension, clearly not grasping the similar tiny eyes he was referring to.

Lord Jing waved his hand dismissively, “Forget it, you’ve never been beaten by my eldest brother-in-law, you wouldn’t understand.”
