Xue Xuening's face looked a little ugly. She and Xiao Yinshuang had indeed told outsiders how miserable Xie Wanyu was.
Unexpectedly, Xue Xuening also knew this.
They actually thought that Xie Wanyu didn't know.
"I know you feel sorry for the child, but if the child is ignorant, it will definitely not work without spanking." Xie Wanyu said calmly.
Xue Xuening was a smart person. Seeing that Xie Wanyu insisted on beating the child, and knowing that she could not stop it, she said, "Brothers, friends and brothers, we are talking about two children. Since they are fighting, both children are at fault. If they are beaten, , of course everyone will be beaten."
After speaking, she looked directly at Xie Wanyu with her eyes.
Even if Xie Wanyu disagrees even slightly, she will immediately retort.
"Brothers fighting is an unavoidable trivial matter. The mistake is that he actually took a knife. He clearly wanted to kill his brother. Such a child will naturally be punished with an extra level of punishment." Xie Wanyu has always been fair in doing things. .
She never thought about not hitting Xiao Zhi, but it wouldn't be too severe.
"Peizhi..." Xie Wanyu discovered that Xiao Zhi had not spoken and his face was so pale that it was almost transparent.
Xiao Zhi has always been a eloquent person. Normally, he would have to defend himself against rudeness, but now he stood there quietly without saying a word.
"Pei Zhi, what's wrong with you?" Xie Wanyu asked.
Xiao Zhi then raised his head and said, "Mom, it's him. He said he is the biological son of the Marquis."
"I, I didn't." Xiao Jinmin said.
"Yes, I heard what you said to the book boy next to you. Later, you were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so you took the opportunity to kill me." Although Xiao Zhi's voice was not loud, it could be heard by everyone.
Xiao Jinmin was still shaking his head, "No, no, I didn't say that."
"Peizhi..." Xie Wanyu was about to ask Xiao Zhi specifically when she saw Xiao Zhi swaying. Before Xie Wanyu could finish speaking, he fell to the ground.
Everyone screamed in fright.
Xie Wanyu hurriedly stepped forward to check, and then discovered that Xiao Zhi's abdomen had marks of being stabbed by a knife, but he was wearing dark clothes, so no one noticed.
Maybe he didn't even notice this himself.
Xie Wanyu covered his wound with her hand, "Quick, go find the doctor."
Xue Xuening was also frightened and couldn't help but take a step back. When she looked at Xiao Jinmin, she found that Xiao Jinmin was smiling happily, without even the slightest bit of fear.
Xie Wanyu had no time to take care of Xiao Jinmin, so she could only have him locked up, and then had Xiao Zhi taken back to Qiran Courtyard.
I don’t know if it’s because there are always things going on in the Xiao family, so when the doctor comes to Xiao Mansion, he is familiar with the family.
After the doctor checked, he found that Xiao Zhi's injury was not serious. Maybe Xiao Jinmin was not very strong at the time, so the injury to Xiao Zhi was not serious enough. However, he had lost a lot of blood and needed to rest.
After knowing that Xiao Zhi was fine, Xie Wanyu felt much relieved and asked someone to take the money to send the doctor out of the house.
Looking at Xiao Zhi again, he was a small man with no life at all on his face.
"Don't worry, mother will definitely take back what you have suffered." Xie Wanyu grabbed Xiao Zhi's little hand.
He is so small, but there are already calluses on his fingers. Xie Wanyu knows that they are left behind when he practiced calligraphy. He works so hard, but he is still looked down upon by others.
Xiao Zhi no longer had the smile of the past, his eyes were closed tightly, his brows were furrowed, and he looked particularly pitiful.
Xie Wanyu felt extremely distressed.
"Madam, please rest for a while, there are slaves guarding you." Zhu Fang whispered.
Xie Wanyu shook her head, "I'll take care of it."
"Madam, your health is not yet well. If you are dragged down, the third young master will have no one to rely on." Zhu Fang couldn't help but said when she saw Xie Wanyu's face was frighteningly pale.
"What you said makes sense." Xie Wanyu knew her body.
He lay down on the low couch next to the bed.
Maybe he was so tired that he fell asleep while lying down.
Zhufang covered her with a quilt distressedly, and then placed two Tangbaozi at her feet before giving up.
After a while, Grandma He came over and said, "I'll replace you, you go and have a rest."
"It's getting dark now." Zhufang looked at the weather outside and lit the candle with a fire stick.
Dim candlelight illuminated a corner of the house.
Zhufang looked out the window and said, "It's snowing. I guess the sugar-roasted chestnut stall on the street corner is out again."
"Go buy some, Madam doesn't like to eat lately." Nanny He said.
Zhu Fang thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."
For a long while, Zhufang held the sugar-roasted chestnuts in one hand and held a lantern in the other.
At this time, a group of young people on horseback roared past, and the strong wind blew the lantern in her hand.
Zhu Fang looked up displeased, only to see the tall and handsome man on the horse.
"Prince?" Zhu Fang was a little surprised. Wasn't he sick and about to die?
After Xie Wanyu woke up, she sat beside the bed.
Xiao Zhi didn't sleep well, maybe because of the pain from his wound.
"Madam, Zhufang went to buy sugar and roasted chestnuts. You can have some later." Nanny He said in a low voice.
Xie Wanyu nodded.
Xiao Zhi also woke up at this time, "I also want to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts."
"Wake up!" Xie Wanyu was a little excited.
"Mom." Perhaps it was because of the injury that he looked a little weak, with the coquettish look of ordinary children.
Xie Wanyu reached out and touched his forehead. Fortunately, there was no fever. "I'll buy the roasted chestnuts later and I'll give them to you first, okay?"
she said softly.
Xiao Zhi nodded, and then said, "Mom, my stomach hurts."
"It's okay, Mom, I'll blow it on you." Xie Wanyu lifted a corner of the quilt and blew gently on his wound.
The wound has been bandaged and there is some redness and swelling around it.
Xiao Zhi was very happy. He looked at Xie Wanyu, as if her face overlapped with the face of his imaginary mother.
At this moment, he felt that it was good to be injured.
Xie Wanyu blew for a while and saw that Xiao Zhi fell asleep again, so she carefully covered him with a quilt.
This child was adopted by her not long after she was reborn.
At that time, she only wanted revenge, and Xiao Zhi's intelligence and cleverness caught her fancy.
Her original idea was to train Xiao Zhi well so that he would become a stumbling block for Xiao Jinmin.
She never expected that over time, she would actually regard this child as her biological child.
Xiao Zhi was injured, both in his body and in her heart.
After a while, Zhufang came back.
She took out the roasted chestnuts from her arms, "It's still warm."
"Aunt He, come here, let's eat together." Xie Wanyu said.
So the three of them sat around the stove, chatting and eating roasted chestnuts with sugar.
After talking, Zhu Fang said, "I think I saw the prince on the roadside, riding a horse."
"How can he ride a horse when he is so seriously injured?" Xie Wanyu said.
Zhu Fang thought for a moment and said, "I may have misjudged you, but I really look like the prince."
She just said it casually, but Xie Wanyu listened, "Is it such a coincidence?"
"Madam, what did you say?"
