Mrs. Xiao cried with joy when she heard this. She sat by the bed and held Xiao Siming's hand tightly. It took a while to wipe away the tears with a handkerchief. When she raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of Meng Jie behind Dr. Wu, her eyes instantly became vicious.
Feeling the slight movement in the palm of her hand, Mrs. Xiao's vicious resentment disappeared, and she called her son's name repeatedly in surprise.
Xiao Shangshu also squeezed forward and saw Xiao Siming opening his eyes slightly, slowly waking up and struggling to get up. Xiao Shangshu sat on the bedside and lifted Xiao Siming up and leaned on his shoulders.
Meng Jie looked at the tender scene of a family of three indifferently. His heart felt like a broken window, pouring in the biting cold wind. He felt more and more unworthy of his own mother:
If it weren't for his mother, how could Xiao Weizhong enter the officialdom? But he was not grateful at all and actually gave his wife away in exchange for a future. In the end, my mother worked hard for many years and did not enjoy the blessings, and even lost her life...
Thinking of the past, Meng Jie didn't want to look at it anymore. He suppressed his anger and followed Doctor Wu out of the room.
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Xiao personally fed her son half a bowl of ginseng soup. Xiao Siming regained a little strength after drinking it, and his hoarse voice was louder than his voice, like a dying old man.
Mrs. Xiao felt distressed and comforted her son:
"Don't worry tomorrow. You will be assassinated by a gangster. Fortunately, you were lucky enough to survive. The injured throat can be healed in a few days."
When Xiao Siming heard about the villain, he knew that his parents still didn't know who had killed him. He leaned against Xiao Weizhong and tugged on his sleeves, saying intermittently:
"Dad...Dad...before I fell...look...saw who hurt me."
Xiao Weizhong shook his son's hand and asked:
"who is it?"
"It's... the second... the second prince's side... Zhong Yi, the second prince... wants to... be the emperor."
When Xiao Weizhong heard this, he was shocked but not too surprised. Chu Chengyao had given medicine several times before and almost killed his son, so he had doubts. Now that he heard his son's personal testimony, he was even more angry. burn.
Hearing Mrs. Xiao cursing Chu Chengyao, Xiao Weizhong stopped him:
"Okay! He is the prince after all, how can you scold him?"
Mrs. Xiao said arrogantly that she had a new son and that she didn’t care about her son’s life or death, which even prompted Xiao Weizhong to reprimand him:
"I don't let you scold me because I don't want you to bring trouble to the house! If he dares to hurt my son, I won't give up!"
After Xiao Siming fell asleep, Xiao Weizhong went out to find Dr. Wu and asked Xiao Siming whether it was possible for his voice to recover.
Hearing that a good life would be better than now, but there is no possibility of returning to the original state. Xiao Weizhong was silent for a long time. When he raised his head again, he looked at Meng Jie who was boiling the medicine, his eyes warm.
In fact, among the two sons, Xiao Siming is better in terms of mentality and family background, so he has always preferred the younger son. But now, with the younger son's appearance, there is no possibility of becoming an official. Meng Jie, who was personally brought into the Salt Transportation Department by Mr. Tang Ge, actually has an official career.
It seems that I have to treat him better in the future...
Xiao Siming, who was in the house, opened his eyes again after Xiao Weizhong came out. He seemed to have heard that his father had a new son. His current situation, if his father had another son, the Xiao family would probably not be his. He How could I still sleep?
From Mrs. Xiao's mouth, Xiao Siming learned about what happened in the past few months, and became even more worried about his situation. Not only did he hurt his throat, but he was also ruined by Zhao Huaqiong, the family troublemaker. Now that Meng Jie has returned to the house...
The more Xiao Siming thought about it, the more panicked he became, and he hurriedly asked Mrs. Xiao to ask Mr. Tang Ge.
Mrs. Xiao: "I have been there many times, but my grandfather refused to see me, and he refused to drive Meng Jie out of the Salt Transportation Department, saying that he wanted to atone for the Tang family's sins."
