Chapter 140 Xiao Wang's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was hoarse: Madam...
The safety lock has been sent back. After Mrs. Fang got it, the situation improved a bit, but she kept looking for Xiao Wang and was in a state of panic.
"Auntie, I'm here, I'm back, don't worry about me."
Mrs. Side grabbed Xiao Wang's hand and said, "Xiao Wang, help me find Xiao Wang."
"Auntie, I am just Xiao Wang."
"You are not Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang is still young." Madam Side did not recognize him, "Help me find Xiao Wang."
Pain flashed through Xiao Wang's eyes. He was clearly right in front of him, but she didn't recognize him.
"Xiao Wang is fine. Xiao Wang is just sleeping. Auntie, don't be afraid. Xiao Wang is fine."
Fortunately, although she didn't recognize Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang's comfort was useful to her, "That's good, I don't trust anyone else, but I trust you."
Mrs. Side took Xiao Wang's hand and said, "Where have you been during this time? I can't find you everywhere I look, and you won't eat even if I ask you to eat..."
She rambled on for a while, and Xiao Wang listened quietly. After talking for a while, Madam Side suddenly looked at Chu Xingchen.
"Who are you?"
"Auntie, this is..." Xiao Wang didn't know how to introduce Chu Xingchen for a moment, saying that his wife was not very good and he was not a real husband, but she was his wife.
When he was in a dilemma, his wife said, "I know, this is your wife."
Mrs. Side looked at Chu Xingchen and said, "No wonder you're missing. It turns out you're marrying a lady. The little lady is so pretty. I like it."
Mrs. Side took Chu Xingchen's hand and looked left and right, "I feel relieved that you have a wife. In the future, I will also find a beautiful little wife like you for our Xiao Wang."
Chu Xingchen looked at Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang looked at them and smiled slightly, saying in his heart that he had found them.
Madam, for the first time, he felt that this strange title that was so far away from him was so beautiful.
Mrs. Side looked left and right, and suddenly she leaned close to Chu Xingchen's belly, "Is there a little baby?"
Chu Xingchen was embarrassed, "No, not yet."
"It will be there soon, don't be afraid." She patted Chu Xingchen's belly gently, and her eyes finally fell on Chu Xingchen's bandaged neck.
"It hurts, blow it."
She blew on Chu Xingchen, then took some candy out of her purse and gave it to Chu Xingchen, "It won't hurt anymore after eating it."
Xiao Wang looked at it and thought, fearing that Chu Xingchen would find it dirty and disgusting, but before he could say anything, Chu Xingchen had already taken it, "Okay, thank you."
She didn't dislike it, just like she didn't dislike Mrs. Side holding her hand all the time.
Xiao Wang stepped forward and took the candy without letting Chu Xingchen eat it. He pulled Mrs. Side over and coaxed her to take a rest.
Mrs. Side relaxed when she saw his descendant, yawned and nodded obediently, "If you want to come see me again, bring your wife and the baby..."
"Okay." Xiao Wang nodded, "I will come to see you whenever I have time. Please take a rest."
Xiao Wang watched her close her eyes before leaving, but when he left, Mrs. Side on the bed opened her eyes, looked after his back, curled her lips in grievance, and her eyes were full of reluctance.
Xiao Wang came out and saw Chu Xingchen, and said "thank you" in a low voice.
"What's there to thank you for? Come and see her more often. Didn't I give you a palace card? Don't waste it." Chu Xingchen waved her hand.
"There is no reason to go home every day." Men in the harem, like women, are generally not allowed to leave the palace for fear of something happening outside. But she is not afraid of him messing around outside.
"I don't let you go home every day, you come here every three or five."
Chu Xingchen felt that after entering the palace, he could not go home and that he could not be filial at all, which was unnatural.
Just as Xiao Wang was about to say something, he saw the expressions of the people around him and stopped talking.
The people who stayed with Mrs. Side were all people he trusted, but Xiao Wang still gave a few words of advice. Several people looked at Chu Xingchen, and they were more respectful than before.
He took the initiative to admit his mistake of negligence, and also explained the abnormality of the missing safety lock. After asking a few questions, Xiao Wang knew what he was doing.
As expected, it turned out to be Xiao Cheng's fault.
Xiao Cheng had lost all face last time with Chu Xingchen and Xiao Wang. He had been depressed for several days, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
It was impossible to take revenge on Xiao Wang, so he turned his attention to Mrs. Side.
It is impossible to harm the lady on the other side directly, as that would affect the vitality of the lady on the other side.
He deliberately let people steal the longevity lock and decided to take revenge. Unexpectedly, the longevity lock was accidentally lost and led Xiao Wang and the princess back to their home.
Xiao Cheng felt guilty and could only hide, but he was still pulled by Xiao Shangshu to wait to see Her Royal Highness.
When Xiao Wang and Chu Xingchen came out of Madam Side's courtyard, Xiao Shangshu hurriedly came forward to say hello. He wanted to say a few words to Chu Xingchen, so Xiao Wang asked.
"Has father checked why my aunt's longevity lock fell outside?"
"This...I checked it, but couldn't find it..."
"I found out." Xiao Wang directly interrupted Xiao Shangshu, "You may want to cover it up, but this matter is far-reaching, endangering His Highness's safety and causing her to be injured. Some people must pay the price, remember this lesson.
.”
Only then did Xiao Shangshu see the wound on Chu Xingchen's neck, and his expression changed. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, Xiao Cheng could no longer bear the pressure and took a step back.
"It seems that some people are not asking for it. In this case, I won't be polite."
Before Xiao Shangshu and his wife could react, Xiao Wang stepped forward, pulled out the iron rod he had prepared from behind and struck Xiao Cheng hard on the leg.
Xiao Cheng wanted to run, but as soon as he took a step, he was knocked to the ground hard.
"No!"
"stop!"
The concubine and Xiao Shangshu stopped him, and Xiao Cheng's screams rang in his ears. Xiao Wangwang didn't seem to hear it, and hit his hand again, directly breaking his hand.
Xiao Wang panted slightly, venting all the suppressed fears of the night.
"I warned you last time not to touch her."
The concubine rushed towards her, crying and scolding, but no one looked at her. Xiao Shangshu looked at Xiao Wang, but Xiao Wang didn't look at her at all.
He was disappointed with Xiao Shangshu, Xiao Cheng was also his son, and he liked normalcy, but those partial choices he had made since childhood were enough for him.
Xiao Wang threw away the stick and looked at Chu Xingchen, "Let's go, Your Highness."
"Um."
Chu Xingchen agreed and did not answer Xiao Shangshu's words. He just said, "Go back to the palace."
This is an internal matter within the Xiao family, and she will not interfere with it.
Xiao Cheng attacked the unconscious Mrs. Side and deserved to be beaten.
Xiao Shangshu could only watch him walk away. His wife hugged the screaming Xiao Cheng and was furious. She scolded Xiao Shangshu and asked Xiao Wang not to let Xiao Wang go.
"Shut up, don't you see Her Royal Highness is still there?"
The concubine was completely speechless.
Xiao Wang listened to the commotion behind him getting quieter and quieter, and laughed as he looked at the servants on the roadside who were frightened and saluting.
"This is what it feels like to bully others."
He looked at Chu Xingchen and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to support me tonight and allowing me to bully others."
Chu Xingchen smiled, "It's easy to talk about."
When they got to the carriage, Chu Xingchen asked about Mrs. Side, and Xiao Wang told the truth, "My aunt is beautiful, but my wife doesn't tolerate her. She humiliates and embarrasses her every day. One winter, it was too cold, and the fever was not treated in time, and then her brain became bad."
Already."
"How old were you then?"
"Eight years old." Xiao Wang exhaled, "In my memory, winter is always cold, but that year was the coldest, because I hugged Xiao Cheng and fell directly into the pond."
The water in the pond in late winter was so cold, but he just wanted that coldness. If his wife wanted his mother's life, he would take revenge and take away the life of Xiao Cheng, whom she cared about most.
Xiao Cheng humiliated and bullied him every day. He had already had enough, so it would be nice to die together.
Unfortunately, they were rescued later.
From then on, the direct wife Xiao Cheng and them became enemies and hated him to the core. However, his ruthlessness finally made the direct wife and the others fear him.
As he gradually grew up, his situation gradually improved a lot, but this was the first time he was able to show off his power like this.
"If Tai Nu Kang had appeared earlier, maybe my aunt wouldn't be like this... But it's better to appear now, as we can avoid another tragedy."
The streets were silent late at night, and Xiao Wang's heart was peaceful but seemed to be boiling. When he saw Chu Xingchen's hair with broken leaves, he simply obeyed his own will, sat next to her, got closer to her, and raised his hand to remove the leaves.
Crush the leaves.
After taking it off, he found that there was still one on the back, so he leaned forward and continued.
Chu Xingchen seemed to smell his breath for a moment, and turned his head uncomfortably, "What is it?"
