Chapter 108 - Unfillal Son
King Zhennan was so angry that he pointed at Xiao Yi's nose and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xiao Fang Shi's face reddened with anger, thinking: is Xiao Yi insinuating that she is jealous?
Xiao Yi deliberately misinterpreted King Zhennan's meaning and said innocently, "Father, you came to my son with a look of shouting, isn't it just for that Tao'er? Since you like that Tao'er, just take her back."
The King of Zhennan was instantly furious and red-eyed, and the whip in his hand reflexively flung at Xiao Yi again.
For a while, just see Xiao Yi in the courtyard holding his head, hiding exceptionally woeful, his body is oozing a little bloody, which looks shocking to the eyes.
Those who didn't know, thought that he had suffered from the whip of the King of Zhennan, and that was why he was so miserable. Only Xiao Yi understands in his heart that it was just the whip wound that he originally received, and the wound cracked open again. As for the torn clothes, it was just for show, deliberately letting his father's whip cut through his clothes.
King Zhennan was panting and sweating profusely as he chased Xiao Yi.
Xiao Fang Shi watching from the sidelines, felt really comfortable, the corner of her mouth couldn't stop curling up. However, she was not pleased for long before her face was horrified, only to see that King Zhennan's whip, somehow, suddenly flung towards her head.
"Ah--" Xiao Fang Shi was so frightened that she screamed in horror, completely losing her usual noble and elegant manners.
King Zhennan also noticed that the momentum was wrong... Seeing that the whip was about to hit Xiao Fang Shi's face, it was too late to take it back. He could only grit his teeth and use force to change the direction of the whip. But despite this, the whip narrowly grazed Xiao Fang Shi's right cheek, and then landed heavily on her right shoulder, causing her feet to weaken in pain and she fell down.
Ming mu on the side hurriedly held her up and shouted in panic, "Wang Fei, Wangfei ......"
Only Xiao Fang Shi's face was pale, her body was trembling, as if she was about to faint at any moment.
The maids and Pozis were in a mess.
"Quickly, quickly go and invite a doctor." King Zhennan threw down the whip in his hand, and ran to Xiao Fang shi side in a hurry, hugged her, his eyes full of guilt and heartache, and sighed, "You say ...... why do you block the whip for that rebellious son properly?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fang Shi's eyes rolled up in anger and she fainted. The heavens are proof, she never thought of blocking the whip for Xiao Yi!
King Zhennan picked up Xiao Fang Shi, and said to Xiao Yi angrily: "Rebellious son, this time there is your mother consort to plead for you, let's forgive you once, next time you do it again, you will not be pardoned." Said, he held the Xiao fang Shi and rushed out of the courtyard door, a group of subordinates followed along. At a glance, it is really a great momentum.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes.
"Shizi, are you alright." Zhuzi walked over worriedly, his eyes full of self-reproach, "If I had known it would be like this, the slave would not have sold that Tao'er."
"It has nothing to do with you." Xiao Yi's expression was indifferent and full of concern, "Selling Tao'er is my intention." Anyway, even if they didn't put Tao'er on sale, they would still find other reasons to make trouble for him.
"Shizi, let's go back to your room first, you have injuries that should be medicated."
Xiao Yi nodded and went into the room with Zhuzi, personally taking out two small porcelain bottles from the cabinet above the bed with a gentle look on his face.
Zhuzi had certainly noticed from the sidelines, and couldn't help but feel a hint of curiosity.
________
On the other hand, when the unconscious Xiao Fang woke up, she only felt a throbbing in her face and shoulders, and subconsciously covered her face with her hands.
Ming mu, the eldest maid guarding the side, hurriedly spoke up, "Wang fei, the Imperial Doctor said not to touch the wound."
Xiao Fang's hand froze and retracted back lifelessly, and the scene before she fell unconscious also came to her mind like a tidal wave, and she immediately said in some panic, "Quickly, quickly help me up!" Xiao Fang struggled to get up, but due to her injured right shoulder, she was unable to use her strength.
Mingmu eloquently helped her up, while another big maid, Ming Jing, took a soft pillow and placed it behind Xiao Fang's back so that she could lean on it comfortably.
"Bring me the bronze mirror." When Xiao Fang Shi thought of the whip just now, she felt fear in her heart, fearing that her face would be disfigured. This was even more intolerable to her than the injury to her right shoulder!
Mingmu hurriedly took out the bronze mirror from the dressing table, while Mingjing comforted her at the side: "Wang fei, don't worry, your face is not injured, it's just a red mark. The imperial doctor has already looked at it and said it will be fine soon." Just trying to eat less spicy food lately.”
Xiao Fang Shi took the mirror and found that it was just as Ming Jing had said, and relaxed half of her heart, but when she looked at the shallow red marks, she still felt that her heart should be very depressed, and worriedly threw the bronze mirror to one side.
Right at this moment, a respectful report came from outside: " Wang Zi is here!"
As the beaded curtain was raised, King Zhennan walked in with large strides.
"Greetings to his Highness!"
Noises of courtesies resounded neatly in the room, and the maids were all too afraid to get up.
" Wang Ye ...... " Xiao Fang struggled and wanted to get out of bed, but was held down by King Zhennan and said, "Your body is not yet healed, so there is no need to be polite, stay in bed and rest properly."
"Thank you, Wang Ye." Xiao Fang bowed her body on the bed, but as a result, she tugged at the wound, and her face suddenly turned white.
Seeing this, King Zhennan's guilt rose and he said, "Ai, it's all my king's fault for accidentally injuring Wangfei."
Little Fang immediately said, "It's not the king's fault." That pathetic look made King Zhennan's heart ache even more.
King Zhennan sighed and said, "You can't be like this in the future, that rebellious son has a thick skin, there is no need for you to block the whip for him."
Xiao Fang's mouth opened to retort, but not a single word could be said. What else could she say? Could she say that she never wanted to help block Xiao Yi's whip, or that she couldn't wait for Xiao Yi to get whipped a few more times?
If these words were to be uttered, her reputation as a virtuous person, which she had been cultivating for many years, would be over.
For a while, Xiao Fang felt like there was a stagnant blood stuck in her throat, unable to spit it out, unable to swallow it, unable to speak or hold her breath!
And the King of Zhennan was still chattering away ...... and when he thought he had said almost enough, he got up and left.
As soon as King Zhennan left, Xiao Fang Shi's face showed all the colours of gloom and resentment.
She could clearly see the situation at that time. It was clear that the prince himself was red-eyed and lost his hand, but he insisted on saying that she had blocked the whip for Xiao Yi and made excuses for his own mistakes.What a man without commitment!
However, since King Zhennan had said so, then she would accept it, otherwise she wouldn't have suffered this injury for nothing!
Therefore, by the next day, the royal capital quietly spread a rumour about the Zhennan royal residence:
I heard that Xiao Yi, the son of the King of Zhennan's residence, failed to force the maid and sold the maid to a kiln.
I heard that the King of Zhennan angrily beat his son, the princess Xiao Fang pleaded for his son to block the whip, and was seriously injured.
People all say: Shi Zi Xiao Yi is doing ridiculous things, Xiao Fang's virtuous, treating Shi Zi as if he were her own son!
***************
Speaking in two parts, after Nangong Yue returned to the mansion, as usual, she went to Rong'an Hall first.
Walking into the hall through the picked open beaded curtain, Nangong Yue looked respectful as she bent her knees towards Su Shi and said, "Greetings to grandmother."
Su Shi smiled lovingly and said, " Back, since you and eldest Miss Jiang share the same interests, in the future you can also invite her to the mansion as a guest more often, although my grandmother is old, but is also by no means that kind of pedantic person."
"Yes, granddaughter knows." Nangong Yue respectfully answered, then took out the box of silk flowers gifted by Jiang Yixi, "This is something Sister Xi made ...... with her own hands, saying that it was for the sisters in the mansion to wear and play with."
"Eldest Miss Jiang made it herself." Su Shi's face revealed a smile, "'Truly a girl with a good heart, in a moment grandmother will call those sisters of yours and let them personally pick."
"Yes." Nangong Yue presented another box of pastries, "This is what granddaughter specially bought on her way back when she passed by the He Yue Zhai, and I don't know if it's to grandmother's taste."
This pastry is what she had sent the coachman to buy back when she talked to Xiao Yi before, and she bought two boxes in total, one for Su Shi, and one for herself, thinking to give it to her mother and elder brother in a while.
Once Su Shi heard it was bought for herself, her smile deepened and she lovingly said, "It's rare that you have a heart of filial piety, grandmother is delighted."
"There is one more thing, granddaughter ......" Nangong Yue looked like she wanted to say something, but she still took a small exquisite and expensive sandalwood box from Yi Mei's hand, and offered it with her own hands, "This is a gift from Duchess of En Guo and Lady Shi Zi, but my granddaughter feels that it is too expensive." This is actually a gift from the Empress, but the Empress's trip out of the palace is not to be declared to the public, so Nangong Yue had to say this to Su Shi.
Nangong Yue had opened and looked at it in the carriage, and there were quite a few internally created objects inside.
After thinking about it, Nangong Yue decided that it would be best to make it clear in front of Su Shi, otherwise it would not be good to take it out and wear it freely. However, Nangong Yue's purpose was not only this, Her main purpose was still to let Su Shi understand that she could befriend eldest Miss Jiang of the En Guo Gongfu, and not only because of the relationship of eldest Miss Jiang.
Mama Wang took the box, after opening it and presenting it to Su Shi, when she saw it, even Su Shi's heart was startled by the layers of waves.
Each piece of the things in the small box were treasures, very valuable indeed, especially those few pieces of internally-made things, which were precious things that money could not even buy.
Su Shi's heart is full of doubts, although this En Guo Gong Fu is rich, it is not possible to take out so many treasures and give them to Yue Jie Er, right? Unless they don't have any plans, or ......
Or is it someone else who gave it to Yue Jie Er through the hands of the En Guo Gongfu?
Thinking of this, Su Shi's gaze narrowed and her eyes grew deeper and deeper.
The one who can instruct the En Guo Gongfu must be that one!
Thinking of this layer, Su Shi could not help but be overjoyed. She did not think that a noble person would actually love Yue Jie Er so much that she would reward her privately, and also let the people of the En Guo Gongfu pass it on behalf ......
Su Shi's heart fluttered in her heart, and it took her a long time to calm down, waving her hand, pretending to be bashful, "Since it's been given to you, you can keep it well."
"Yes, grandmother." Nangong Yue bowed obediently.
Su Shi nodded and kindly let someone take out a sapphire auspicious cloud decorated bracelet from her room, personally put it on for her, and said caringly, "This bracelet is also buried in my place, it's just right for you young lasses, take it!"
"Thank you grandmother." Nangong Yue wore it on her hand with a joyful face, and accompanied Su Shi to say a few more words before she saluted and left.
