Prince Jiangning found a doctor to treat Xiao Shijies wounds. As he looked at the bloody flesh on his sons shoulder, he felt his skin crawl. He then turned around and left the room.
You said its that kid Zhu Lin who sent him back? Prince Jiangning pulled the caretaker aside and asked in a low voice.
Yes, Your Highness. It was Lord Zhu who sent Young Master back.
Prince Jiangning did not care about the affairs of the Imperial Court, but that did not mean he did not know anything. Zhu Lin was the Emperors man. If Zhu Lin was the one who sent Xiao Shijie back, it meant that the Emperor was putting his unease with Xiao Shijie in the public eye.
Could it be that his son really had some thoughts that he shouldnt have?
Prince Jiangning instantly felt a chill run down his spine. It was fine if it was just one unfilial son, but if there were two, would the Emperor still let him off so easily?
After the doctor treated Xiao Shijies wounds and left, Prince Jiangning returned to his sons room.
Xiao Shijie was already very exhausted from the tiring journey over consecutive days and his very tense nerves. Just as he was about to take a nap, he heard Prince Jiangnings footsteps.
Xiao Shijie lay on the bed and pretended to be asleep with his eyes closed.
He heard Prince Jiangnings footsteps gradually becoming more urgent, and the sound finally stopped in front of his bed. You should know in your heart why your big brother ended up like that. Although our surnames are both Xiao, if some things are not ours, then they are not ours. Dont try to fight for it even if there is still a slim chance of success. If you have also developed thoughts that you shouldnt have, dont blame your father for being heartless! Xiao Shijies hands gradually clenched into fists under the blankets, but he didnt utter a sound.
When Prince Jiangning saw that Xiao Shijie did not move, he stretched out his hand and poked his sons wound with some displeasure.
Xiao Shijie felt so much pain that he almost jumped up!
Did you hear what I just said?
Xiao Shijie gritted his teeth and didnt say anything, but Prince Jiangning kept poking him!
Stop!
Xiao Shijie couldnt take it anymore and gave a sharp yell. His bloodshot eyes were filled with fury and he glared at Prince Jiangning until the latter was so scared that he stood rooted to the ground.
That glare made Prince Jiangning even more uneasy. There was definitely something wrong with this kid. There was definitely something wrong!
It seemed that all these sons with rebellious thoughts would not rest if they didnt drive their father to his death.
Prince Jiangning did not dare to look his son in the eye. He only forced himself to say very sternly, Be good and rest well. If you cause trouble, I will teach you a lesson! After saying that, he turned around and ran away without giving Xiao Shijie a chance to react.
Xiao Shijie stared at his fathers back profile, and the resentment in his heart became more intense.
When Prince Jiangning came out of the courtyard, he ordered his servants to keep watch over Xiao Shijies courtyard. They were not to allow Xiao Shijie to take even half a step out of the courtyard.
Xiao Shijies arrival not only annoyed Prince Jiangning, but Chu Min also became more and more restless and uneasy.
Are you sure youve cut off and wiped away all connections with that side? After the court session ended, Chu Min summoned his trusted aide into the study to inquire.
Dont worry, Eldest Master. All those that were handled by me have been wiped clean.
Chu Min was slightly relieved after hearing him.
After the trusted aide left, an attendant walked in.
Eldest Master, Peach Blossom Garden sent someone to pass a message. They said that the Little Master is sick and his condition is not good. They are asking you to go take a look.
Chu Min was about to turn down the request, but when he thought that staying in the residence would only make him more flustered and worried, he told the servants to prepare the carriage.
Chu Min had just stepped out of the Dukes Residence when someone quietly tailed his horse carriage.
The horse carriage passed through many busy streets before arriving at an inconspicuous courtyard house.
Chu Min alighted from the horse carriage and went straight into the courtyard house. He only came out and returned to the Dukes Residence when the sky was almost dark.
The person tailing him ensured that Chu Min had left before crawling silently through the dog hole in the courtyard wall. When he came out again, it was already an hour later.
As night fell, Duke Jingguos Residence was brightly lit.
Ever since Chu Yunn was sent back, other than Chu Min who visited her twice and someone who was sent by Eldest Mrs. Chu, no one else came near her courtyard.
A maidservant carried hot water into the room. Eldest Young Miss, do you want to soak your feet before you sleep?
Chu Yunns external injuries were almost healed, but she never stepped out of the room again.
Upon hearing the sound, she slowly raised her head. Mm-hmm. The maidservant came forward with the hot water to help her wash her feet. Eldest Young Miss, theres news from the other side. They say that shes staying in a unique courtyard house in the citys Eastern District. She gave birth to a boy and the kid is already at the elementary school age. Splash!
Argh!
With a kick, the maidservants face was splashed by the water for washing feet, and she fell to the ground on her butt in shock.
After she recovered herself, she quickly glanced at Chu Yunn and met her chilly eyes. She was so scared that she knelt down and begged for mercy. Eldest Young Miss, please forgive me. Eldest Young Miss, please forgive me. He would be at least three to five years old if he was already at the elementary school age!
It wasnt that Chu Min didnt have any concubines. Eldest Mrs. Chu had injured her body when she gave birth to Chu Yunn and couldnt get pregnant again. She had also taken in concubines for Chu Min, but Chu Min was good at playing the good guy and rarely came to the concubines rooms all these years. The concubines who occasionally got pregnant only gave birth to daughters.
Her mother blamed herself immensely for this. To her surprise, he had been keeping a woman outside secretly!
Get up.
When she heard Chu Yunns words, the maidservant felt as if she had been granted a reprieve. She carefully sized up Chu Yunns expression. After some thought, she asked in a probing manner, Eldest Young Miss, should we tell Eldest Mistress about this?
Duke Jingguos Residence was such a large aristocratic family. If the matter of having a kept woman outside spread, the Eldest Mistress and her offspring might be criticized behind their backs.
Chu Yunn gave a scornful laugh. Go make the preparations. Im going to visit that bastard tomorrow.
Eldest Young Miss, youre not married yet. Why dont you leave this matter to Eldest Mistress? Otherwise, if word gets out, it will be bad for your reputation. The chilliness on Chu Yunns face intensified. Ive already fallen to this state. What reputation do I have to talk about? The maidservant was at a loss for words. In the past, the number of people who approached them with marriage proposals for the Eldest Young Miss had almost worn out the threshold of the entrance to Duke Jingguos Residence. Ever since the Eldest Young Miss landed in trouble, no one approached anymore.
Do as I say.
Yes, yes.
Prince Jiangning suffered a brief period of fear during the two days when Xiao Shijie was in the capital city. When he saw that Xiao Shijie was staying in the courtyard obediently these days, he let down his guard and began to indulge in debauchery again.
The maidservant pushed open the door and walked in with the food container. These few days, Xiao Shijie had been lying on the bed and didnt even have the inclination to get up.
The maidservant placed the food container on the bed tray table before carrying the tray table to Xiao Shijie. Your Highness, its time for dinner, she said softly.
Xiao Shijie opened his two eyes when he heard her. He took a glance at the maidservant and then slowly sat up.
Your Highness, I have already contacted His Lordship a few times. At first, His Lordship did not respond. Later on, he simply withdrew the person whom we maintained contact with.
Xiao Shijies eyes darkened and he gave a malevolent sneer. He thinks that something is going to happen to me and wants to cut all ties with me. Your Highness, what should we do? Tell that woman to tell him that my ship isnt so easy to get off. If he wants to fall out with me, he wont have a good death either if I get into trouble! The maidservant replied softly, Yes, your servant will follow up..
