Lu Qingtang didn't expect this girl to be so soft and stubborn, she really had some backbone.
She began to admire her.
She shook her head helplessly, "Okay, remember what you said, I hope you won't break your promise."
The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal ones, and the horizontal ones are afraid of death.
It’s better not to mess with such life-threatening people.
At this time, the noise of soldiers and horses came from outside. When everyone looked outside, they all held torches, illuminating the entire village.
Along with the neat and orderly footsteps, the footsteps that followed became sonorous and powerful.
In this life, I have beautiful features. Although I am over forty, I don’t have the greasy feeling that I should have at this age. And this appearance seems somewhat familiar.
Lu Qingtang looked back at Ji Wenzhan, who was lost in the crowd.
At first glance it does look similar.
What kind of world was she traveling through, and how could she meet so many similar people? Could it be that she has prosopagnosia now, and everyone looks the same.
Just when he was wondering, Mercury, who had been so arrogant and high-spirited just now, immediately turned into a flattering one.
She smiled uglier than crying, walked forward with small steps, and said with a flattering look on her face: "Third brother, are you here?"
The man glanced at her coldly, then looked around, and quickly spotted Mo Zeshen in the crowd.
He was obviously stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Xiao Wang has met His Highness King Chen. His Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Mo Zeshen didn't even look at him, "There is also the princess."
As he spoke, he reached out and hugged Lu Qingtang next to him.
Shui Xingyao, who was kneeling below, did not raise his head. He still looked neither humble nor arrogant, "I have met Princess Chen. I wish Princess Chen eternal youth."
Listening to Shui Xingyao's emotionless flattery, Lu Qingtang only found it funny.
She sneered and said, "Shui Tusi is very polite. If you have the ability to flatter me, you might as well discipline your sister well, lest you lose your life one day."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Xingyue's childish and sharp voice came over, "Why do you say that to my third brother? Why do you say that to me? You are the princess and you are amazing..."
"Shut up, why don't you come over and kneel!"
Shui Xingyao, who was kneeling on the ground, interrupted Shui Xingyue. His voice was low and cold, as cold as the cold water in a deep pool.
Shui Xingyue couldn't help but shiver. She moved forward with small steps, and knelt down as soon as her knees became weak.
Lu Qingtang looked at Mercury under his feet. At this moment, she was staring at him with a pair of big eyes.
She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and said with a playful face: "Little girl, just now I had a serious discussion with you but you didn't listen. Now the chance is gone. You have to pay the price for beating the Crown Prince of Zhennan."
Shui Xingyue pursed her lips, "I didn't mean it, I just..."
"You said you didn't mean it, and you still laughed!"
Ji Wenzhan's roar came from the corner.
He seemed to be depressed and huddled in a corner, saying just this for a long time.
A deep sigh came from Shui Xingyao's nose. He stood up angrily, raised his hand and hit Shui Xingyue on the back of the head.
Lu Qingtang was stunned for a moment.
Why is this Shui Xingyao so violent? How come he hits people with just raising his hand?
Before she could react, she heard Shui Xingyue scream "Ah", quickly got up from the ground, and ran away like flying.
Although Shui Xingyao was over forty years old, he was still strong and strong. He stepped forward and picked up her collar, and hit her on the head with his other hand.
Shui Xingyue screamed again, knotted her feet, fell to the ground, and then spit out blood.
She lay on the ground, her cries heartbreaking.
Shui Xingyao, who was full of anger just now, was stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to expect that Shui Xingyue would vomit blood.
Seeing this, Lu Qingtang had no intention of arguing with the little girl anymore, and immediately called Sumukou Dan to help Shui Xingyue up. Zeng Ke followed up carrying the medicine box.
Inside the house, Lu Qingtang carefully cleaned and inspected Mercury's wounds.
Fortunately, I only bit my tongue and did not damage my nerves. There was no ice in the cottage, so I had to use cold water to stop the bleeding.
While packing the medicine box, she ordered: "Before the injury mark in the mouth, do not eat any irritating food, such as sour, sweet, spicy, hot, hard, etc. Wait until the injury heals."
Shui Xingyue frowned and mumbled something.
"stop!"
Lu Qingtang made a stop motion, "The most important thing is that you can't speak and keep your mouth shut tightly."
Shui Xingyue immediately shut her mouth, her innocent look was a bit cute.
Lu Qingtang couldn't help but snorted coldly. She crossed her arms and looked at her, with disdain on her face: "Are you good now? What about that virtue just now? I won't be able to speak or eat delicious food for the next half month. It's really pitiful. .”
Mercury, who had been so well-behaved just now, became furious again, her almond-shaped eyes widening.
Lu Qingtang leaned against the cabinet beside him with his arms folded, laughing so hard that he almost died, "You are really funny like this. I was like this when I was young..."
Halfway through her words, she felt something was wrong.
What does it mean to be young? She is not old now either.
She changed her words and continued: "I was like this when I was your age, but at least I know how high the sky is. As for you, fortunately you have a third brother who is a chieftain, a second brother who is an emperor, and an eldest brother who is the regent. , What a perfect net worth, but you are everything. Fortunately, you met people like us who have a bottom line, otherwise your third brother would not be able to survive even if he knelt and died in front of us. live."
After talking about it, her voice became colder and her face became even harsher, making Shui Xingyue tremble.
She stared at her with a pair of big eyes, looking helpless and angry.
Lu Qingtang immediately laughed again.
She pinched her waist and laughed until her stomach hurt.
She stopped laughing and said to Shui Xingyue: "Let me tell you, it's okay if you don't apologize to my brother. If you miss this opportunity today, you won't have it next time. I always make a distinction between public and private things, and I will avenge myself. You Just wait patiently.”
After speaking, Lu Qingtang turned around and left.
Mercury was left with a confused look on his face.
However, she soon became complacent again.
So what if you are a relative of the emperor? You are not allowed to listen to the local emperor in Nanzhou.
The third brother knelt down to them and called his highness, which was a compliment to them. With the temper of the third brother, he would not be as good-tempered as the eldest brother.
She gritted her teeth as she looked at Lu Qingtang's leaving figure.
The embarrassment of being chased and beaten by the third brother just now kept echoing in my mind. I must find an opportunity to make them leave Nanzhou in a mess!
Mercury sat in the room for a long time, and finally someone came to ask her to go out for dinner.
She curled her lips helplessly.
My tongue was almost bitten off, and I couldn't eat any of those exciting things.
But I was so hungry that I could only eat porridge.
When we came to the hall outside, the tables were filled with delicious food.
Braised pork elbow, Dongpo pork, roast chicken, braised crucian carp...
It made her drool.
Lu Qingtang was serving three babies to eat when he accidentally caught a glimpse of Mercury, who was as greedy as a cat.
She sneered and reminded her, "Drobbing will also affect wound healing."
Mercury immediately covered her mouth, looking surprised.
Lu Qingtang was a little amused, "Oh, I forgot that you can't eat anything too hard, so I only prepared white rice. You can make do with it."
Mercury's eyes widened instantly.
She wanted to curse, but she remembered that her tongue was injured and she couldn't speak yet.
She was almost pissed off.
This man is simply a treacherous villain!
She was feeling indignant when she saw Lu Qingtang mixing rice for her three babies.
One baby, one chicken leg, two braised eggs, plus the simmered Dongpo pork, mash them separately and mix them with rice. The fragrant meat flavor and rice were mixed together, and Shui Xingyue's saliva instantly flowed out again.
She can be beaten by her third brother and scolded by her father, but she must not be greedy to death.
She really wants to cry...
Looking around, besides Shui Yunxi sitting at the table waiting for food, there were also Lu Qingtang and his group.
Where did her third brother go?
At this time, Shui Xingyao was talking to Mo Zeshen in another room.
The main content is still his little sister who doesn't live up to expectations.
Mo Zeshen snorted, "I can let your sister go. She is a stinky girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, and she is the daughter of Valley Master Fang. I can let it go, but I have to leave the bucket to me."
Shui Xingyao looked puzzled, "Bucket?"
Mo Ze frowned deeply, "It's that thing called Sai. Leave it to me to deal with later."
Shui Xingyao nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, she's already tied up. This Sai...Gong is really powerful. It took more than a dozen of my men to tie her up with horse ropes."
After saying that, he hesitated for a moment, then asked Mo Zeshen, "Who is Princess Chen's biological mother?"
After hearing this, Mo Zeshen's face suddenly became wary.
He stared at him for a moment and then said, "This seems to have nothing to do with Shui Tusi, right?"
The expression on Shui Xingyao's face visibly froze.
He wasn't smiling, nor was he smiling. He looked restless.
Mo Zeshen couldn't help but sneer when he saw this, and said to him: "Although I don't care, your sister didn't apologize or punish me when she hit my uncle. Isn't that justified?"
Shui Xingyao nodded, "Don't worry, Prince, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter. Don't be angry. In the final analysis, this matter is our fault."
Mo Zeshen didn't know what to say to embarrass him, so he stood up and patted his shoulder, "Let's go eat."
Shui Xingyao sighed slightly, stood up and followed Mo Zeshen out of the room.
At the dinner table, everyone was waiting for Lu Qingtang.
Sitting next to Shui Xingyao, Shui Xingyue was still drooling. She couldn't speak, so she could only look at the meat and sigh.
Shui Xingyao looked at her coldly and motioned for her not to move, but it was impossible for her not to move.
The dishes were all heavy-flavored, and the rice was so hard that she couldn't eat it. She looked greedy and it was really torturous.
Lu Qingtang came back from the kitchen with Su Mu and Kou Dan.
She walked to Shui Xingyue and pointed to the location of the three babies, "Go over there and sit at the same table with the children."
Mercury looked surprised. Why should she sit at the same table with her children? She didn't agree!
