Chapter 70:Who The Hell Are You

Helian Xuan was about to explode with anger. Why was Little Jing still denying it when all the facts were already clear?

“Tell me, are you in love with that fellow Li Yao?” Helian Xuan questioned.

Helian Jing blinked, momentarily stupefied. Then he doubled over and busted out laughing.

“How can you laugh about this? Don’t you know how embarrassing this is? All your life, I’ve set up a good example for you, I don’t know how you’ve become… this.  Helian Jing stop laughing!” Helian Xuan clenched his fists, fighting the urge to slap his brother sober.

Helian Jing was laughing so much he had tears rolling down his face. He tried to stop, he really did, but it took him about a few more minutes of roaring out loud before he could pull himself together.

“Brother, I thought only brains like Zhao Qixuan’s would think of something like that. You even managed to be more preposterous than him! I am close with Li Yao because he is my rescuer. If not for him, I would’ve had to  beg  my way back to Jin Ling. Besides, we click together very well, even more than the other princes and noblemen. Brother, we are close, but Li Yao and I are only friends,” Helian Jing explained.

Helian Xuan scoffed, “If that’s really just the case, then why are you trying to hide it? Why are you always sneaking around to meet him?”

“That’s because I am afraid you would put too much into it – just like you’re doing now. I don’t want to cause him harm.”

Helian Xuan was quiet for a while. When he finally spoke, his voice was low as he said, “Do you swear to heaven that there really is no such thing going on?”

“Brother, if someone says you and Brother Chunyu are having  that  kind of relationship, how would you feel? You’re both of age and you’ve yet to get married. If you really want to talk about suspicious…” Helian Jing hinted.

Helian Xuan  really  wanted to smack his brother then. However, as mad as he was, he couldn’t help but feel a bit impressed that Little Jing actually had learned how to checkmate him.

“What is all this ruckus about?” Princess Yu De demanded. She had heard from a servant that the brothers were fighting so she came over to see what was going on.

Helian Jing quickly replied, “Mother, it is nothing. Big Brother is lecturing me because he heard that I want to hire acrobats.”

Princess Yu De looked at both her sons with suspicious eyes. She asked Helian Xuan with a stern face, “Xuan-er, is this true?”

Helian Xuan glared at Little Jing and answered, “It is Grandmother’s birthday, I don’t see the reason why he should invite acrobats.”

“Little Jing has already discussed this with me. Honestly, son, I don’t think it is such a big deal. You men don’t like to watch opera shows and an acrobatic act to entertain you instead is not a bad idea,” Princess Yu De said.

Helian Jing looked at him smugly.

Helian Xuan rolled his eyes at his little brother. Mother has always pampered Little Jing. If he comes to her with no evidence of his suspicions, she’d just end up siding with Helian Jing just like what she was doing now. He had to put this matter with Li Yao on hold for now until he could gather concrete evidence.

“Xuan-er come with Mother, I have some things to discuss with you,” Princess Yu De told Helian Xuan.

As soon as his mother and brother left, Helian Jing leaned back on the couch, heaving a huge sigh of relief.
