After Xiao Shangshu said a warning and left the room, Mrs. Xiao sat by the bed, took Xiao Siming's hand and cried:
"Ming'er, my miserable Ming'er... Seeing you like this, your father has already made plans to welcome that evildoer into the house. You must try your best to wake up as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no one for us in this house. A place to stay..."
The maid advised: "Madam, you are overthinking this. The master has always been very affectionate to you, and it will never be like this. Besides, your grandfather is Mr. Tang Ge, the head of the aristocratic family. You have a strong backbone."
Mrs. Xiao said bitterly: "My grandfather has long been coldhearted towards me. I have begged him several times to stop that evil obstacle from entering the house, but he has always refused. How can he support me?"
Maid: "Madam, please don't be sad. Meng Jie has changed his surname. The master tried to persuade him many times, but he didn't come back. I guess he didn't have this intention. The elder should have known about this, so he didn't show up, so as to avoid you." I have a rift with the master."
Mrs. Xiao: "You don't have to coax me, I am a member of my own family who knows about my family affairs. Since His Majesty split up and suppressed the family in recent years, Xiao Weizhong has never treated me like he used to. That evil person said he would not return home, just to show that he has no intention of returning home." You have no ambition, just to make the master pity you."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao's sad look gradually turned sinister:
"How could that evil obstacle not be interested in the position of the Xiao family's young master after he has been living outside for many years? When tomorrow comes to an end and there is no need for that divine doctor Wu anymore, that evil obstacle will not be able to stay..."
In a house not far from Taihe Restaurant.
Seeing Hong Anbo looking at him expectantly, Chu Chengyao said helplessly:
"That's all, you have followed me for many years, so I will take care of your household affairs. I will find a house that cannot be found in your house, and provide you with an outer room to properly arrange for her to give birth to the fetus safely."
Hong'an Bo hurriedly stood up and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness! Your Highness is laughing at me. Hua'er has hurt his eye, which will cause inconvenience to the family. If this baby is born, and I go to Jiuquan one day, the two brothers will be taken care of." "
Chu Chengyao motioned for Hong Anbo to take a seat: "It's human nature, why is it a joke?"
Hong Anbo smiled and said: "Your Majesty has attached great importance to His Highness recently. He has entrusted several major events to His Majesty. Even the New Year's Eve palace banquet was arranged by Concubine Rou to help the Empress. I think it was because of the salt tax. , I have seen His Highness’ ability and am ready to entrust His Highness with important responsibilities.”
Chu Chengyao: "I may not be so optimistic. Maybe my father just uses me as a whetstone to hone my brother. But since I have been given an errand, I just do my best to do it well."
Hong Anbo: "I have heard many officials talking privately recently. They often compare His Highness with the Crown Prince, and praise His Highness more. No matter what His Majesty means, at least in the hearts of the courtiers, they are more biased towards His Highness."
Chu Chengyao: "This is indeed a good thing, but we should not be careless and complacent. It is best not to let others know about the relationship between you and me. We should meet less often in the future."
Hong Anbo opened his mouth, wanting to say that Zhu Dianhua already knew, but he thought of the child in Menglian's belly and swallowed it back:
"Don't worry, Your Highness, this is a helpless move. You will be more careful in the future."
Zhong Yi sent Hong Anbo away, and when he came back to see Chu Chengyao, he was thoughtful and silent, and asked with concern:
"Your Highness, are you worried?"
Chu Chengyao: "The third child seems to be wary of me lately. He is far less trusting than before. I suspect he knows something. Send a stranger to check it out."
