Xiao Shangshu didn't wait for Meng Jie to answer, turned around and said to Mrs. Xiao with a sullen face:
"What nonsense are you talking about! How could Jie'er harm Ming'er!"
Mrs. Xiao: "Why am I talking nonsense? Who else could he be! He must have deliberately sneaked into the house to avenge the Meng family and harm my Ming'er!"
After shouting to Shangshu Xiao, Mrs. Xiao pointed at Meng Jie and cursed:
"Injustice has its origin, and debt has its owner. If you want to avenge your short-lived mother, just come to me! Ming'er is your brother and sister, how could you attack him so viciously?"
Meng Jie's face was dark: "Mrs. Xiao kept saying that I wanted to avenge my mother and killed Xiao Siming, but my mother was clearly killed by evil thieves. What Mrs. Xiao said, do I think those evil thieves are you?" Sent."
Upon hearing this, Shangshu Xiao's eyes surged with undercurrents, and he shouted at Mrs. Xiao:
"That's enough! Ming'er is still asleep, why are you shouting out of nowhere! If it frightens Ming'er's mind, you won't even be able to cry anymore!"
Seeing that Mrs. Xiao was silent, Shangshu Xiao softened his expression, clasped his fists at Doctor Wu and said:
"My wife has been restless at night because of the dog's appearance, so she is very angry and talks nonsense. I hope Doctor Wu is not weird."
Doctor Wu returned the courtesy with a dull face:
"Mr. Xiao, you are so polite. I brought my apprentice to treat your son. I was also moved by the sincerity of Mr. Xiao who wanted to treat me several times. If Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao feel that I have some agenda or that my medical skills are not good, they can hire another expert. "
Xiao Shangshu: "Mr. Wu, you are serious in your words. Don't take the woman's nonsense seriously. The imperial doctors are helpless to deal with the dog. It is only because of the skill of Doctor Wu that the dog can survive to this day. The Xiao family is extremely grateful to Doctor Wu."
Doctor Wu: "Meng Jie has been by my side since I rescued him from a mass grave. I am willing to guarantee his character with my life. As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father. Although I am a commoner, I won’t allow anyone to corrupt my disciples at will.”
Xiao Shangshu heard the hidden meaning of Doctor Wu's words, glanced at Meng Jie, and stabilized the two of them with some kind words.
Before leaving the house, Doctor Wu, whose anger had subsided a lot, asked:
"Has anyone been in the house today and seen you?"
Xiao Shangshu looked at the butler on the side, who stepped forward with understanding:
"Because the New Year is approaching, many houses are sending New Year gifts. Today, there are people from several houses who have seen the eldest young master, such as His Highness the Third, His Highness the Second, the Minister of War..."
Doctor Wu muttered and interrupted: "Why is there another Second Highness..."
Shangshu Xiao had a gentle conversation with Meng Jie, asking him not to pay attention to Mrs. Xiao's crazy words, and then he sent the master and the apprentice into the carriage.
After taking the people away, Doctor Wu's words before leaving still echoed in Xiao Shangshu's mind:
"Xiao Qi, I remember that before the eldest young master became ill the last two times, did His Highness also come here?"
Butler Xiao thought for a moment and affirmed:
"Yes, I have been here before. The first time was with His Highness the Third Prince to see the eldest young master, and the second time was with His Highness the Second Highness himself."
Xiao Shangshu narrowed his eyes and said, "What a coincidence..."
Returning to the inner room and looking at Xiao Siming's face, Xiao Shangshu said impatiently:
"Tomorrow we will still need Dr. Wu's treatment. If you want your son to wake up early, don't say anything more in the future."
Mrs. Xiao: "I'm not talking about Divine Doctor Wu..."
Xiao Shangshu: "That's enough. The words of Doctor Wu just now made it clear that I will protect Jie'er instead of protecting him as a father. I made it clear that I will protect Jie'er to the end."
