Xia Yunxian didn't seem to hear Huo Changsheng's words clearly. The two people's eyes met. At this critical moment of life and death, he almost blurted out the words hidden deep in his heart.
"actually, I……"
"My subordinates are late! These mice are so cunning, they are making trouble in the east and west. Don't worry, Crown Princess, they should be the last batch!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu arrived in time, glanced meaningfully at the hands held by the two, and then neatly eliminated all the remaining evildoers!
Huo Changsheng looked at Xia Yunxian who left him with some disappointment, and soon felt the warning gaze of the secret guard.
His expression condensed, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
"Prince Concubine, this lady is dying!" Chunxiao exclaimed. The mother in the room seemed to have fainted from the pain. When she saw the door closed, there were only two men and a few children looking at each other outside.
"Young Master Huo, have you not forgotten your engagement with Princess Pingting?" Xiao Wu looked at Huo Changsheng who was bandaging his wounds and spoke abruptly.
"To be honest, Huo already plans to break off the engagement."
"Break off the engagement? If General Huo agrees, the young master will not be so destitute that he lives in such a simple courtyard." Xiao Wu sneered, and as expected, Huo Changsheng's expression changed slightly.
It's funny to say that he thought that what happened in the palace could change his father's mind.
But what he didn't want to wait for was a thunderous wrath.
In addition, he discovered that his stepmother had colluded with the government doctors and had been tampering with his medicine for many years, which made his condition worse.
His father slapped him hard and said he was arrogant. He was lucky that Princess Pingting was willing to marry, but he actually wanted to use a misunderstanding to sow discord between the two families!
He also said that he was ungrateful and had wronged his stepmother who had worked so hard to raise him. If he refused to admit his mistake, he would never be allowed to return to the general's mansion again!
Only now did Huo Changsheng realize that he was nothing more than a pawn used by his father to consolidate his power. He had long since given up on his son who could not serve as an official in the court or fight on the battlefield to honor his family. He only hoped that he would spend the rest of his short life with him. Seek benefits for the Huo family!
"Now that Mr. Huo can't protect himself, don't cause trouble for the Crown Princess!"
Xiao Wu crossed his hands on his chest and persuaded him with good intentions. After all, if his master knew what happened today, it would inevitably add insult to injury and make him unable to turn around again!
For a moment, Xiao Wu felt that he was simply too kind!
Huo Changsheng's pupils shrank and the pain quickly disappeared.
This is right. If his stepmother with ulterior motives knew that it was Xia Yunxian who ruined her plot, she would never let it go!
The screams in the room got louder and louder, quickly diverting the attention of everyone outside the house. It wasn't until the baby's cry sounded that Xia Yunxian washed the blood from his hands and retreated.
"Prince Princess, how is that lady?"
Huo Changsheng suppressed all his thoughts and stepped forward. Xia Yunxian smiled meaningfully, "Mother and son are safe. Mr. Huo has done a good job, but he must take good care of the wife inside!"
Thinking of the way the man in the room spoke and the rare materials of his clothes, he was no ordinary refugee.
He didn't read the hint in these words for a while, and he didn't know what kind of noble person he had saved. He just breathed a heartfelt sigh of relief.
"It's getting late, and the refugees in the western suburbs are probably going crazy waiting!"
Xiao Wu couldn't help but remind him that the long delay aroused his master's suspicion, and he couldn't help cover it up!
Xia Yunxian nodded, and then took a deep look at Huo Changsheng.
"Master Huo, if it is not broken, it will not be established. After it is broken, it will be established. There will be a period of discomfort after the medicine is stopped. After a while, Yunxian will come again to check your pulse and prescribe medicine."
Huo Changsheng's eyes flashed. After he left the General's Mansion, he visited many doctors. They all said that this body had been hollowed out long ago, and the rest was only a matter of time.
But what Xia Yunxian said clearly meant that he could still be saved? !
If it is not broken, it cannot be established; if it is broken, it will be established!
"Prince Princess, I will remember this forever!" He suppressed his inner excitement and bowed solemnly.
…
In the evening, Mrs. Liu's yard.
Snapped!
"Fortunately, I asked Grandma Lei to take a look inside the two children's house. Otherwise, how would I know that you kept the good stuff and instead let your mother-in-law and husband drink that millet porridge that even pigs won't eat!"
Mrs. Liu pointed at the two meat buns on the table bitterly, while Aunt Lei next to her immediately gave Jiang Ruyan a slap in the face!
She covered her face in astonishment, "What an injustice! Ruyan only drank half a bowl of rice porridge today, how can she get any meat buns! This... must be given to the children by Xia Yunxian!"
When he mentioned Xia Yunxian, Liu Chengyu felt that the injury on his shoulder was even more painful, and he couldn't help but curse.
"That cruel woman doesn't care about the life and death of her two children!"
Jiang Ruyan was stunned for a moment, shedding tears because of her grievance. She was still injured from being kicked by Xia Yunxian this morning. They didn't even dare to say a harsh word at that time and let people leave in a big way. Now they are dominating in front of her. !
"Bah! You still have the nerve to cry. If it weren't for her, I would be able to eat the braised pork ribs in Luoxueyuan right now!"
The old lady couldn't help but take a sip, and even Liu Chengyu had a gloomy expression.
At this moment, the steward unexpectedly rushed into the house with joy, "Sir, old lady, good news! The rice and grain shop on the street has opened again. Although the price of grain has increased three times, at least they are willing to take it out. If it’s sold, let’s hurry up in the Hou Mansion!”
As soon as these words came out, the old lady's face was filled with joy, and she couldn't care less about Jiang Ruyan.
"Hurry, Prince, buy some more bird's nest and ginseng!" she urged, but Liu Chengyu's face froze, "It has tripled? Why don't these unscrupulous profiteers grab it!"
"Is now the time to worry about this? There should be a lot of the jewelry I gave you last time. If I don't go, there won't even be any dregs left!"
But Liu Chengyu hesitated for a long time before he said, "The rest... I will use them to entertain future colleagues."
Mrs. Liu was stunned, apparently not realizing what she meant.
"My mother also saw it. Those bastards were taunting me in front of my son. If I don't shut their mouths, how can I hold my head high in the future?"
Seeing Liu Chengyu's confident appearance, the old lady stood up in shock, her lips trembling a little, "You, you, you, are you going to use my jewelry to stop their mouths?"
So, there is nothing left?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Liu felt a sudden surge of blood. Then she rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot!
"Old Madam! Master, what should we do?"
Aunt Lei was so frightened that she panicked, and the room suddenly became a mess. Liu Chengyu frowned and simply broke the jar, "You want ginseng, right? OK, I will find a way for myself!"
He left such a sentence, then threw up his sleeves and rushed out of the door. He led a fast horse and rushed out of the Yongding Marquis Mansion with full of anger.
Jiang Ruyan looked at the figure who walked away decisively, and for some reason her heart was beating fast. She always felt that something bad was going to happen soon!
