Chapter 207 A serious illness

"But my second brother is going to send me to the palace in a few days." Wei Ming Yu Jin suddenly remembered this matter. Before the sadness rose, it was suppressed by the urgency of helping a friend. "I won't be able to help you after entering the palace. When do you plan to dance?"

"I have to prepare," Yin Meizhen said, "I must do it before you enter the palace. Then I'll have my third brother find you."

Wei Ming Yu Jin was surprised: "The Third Prince also knows about this?"

Yin Meizhen shook her head. "No, I didn't tell him. If he knew, he would definitely disagree. Then I'll say I made some snacks myself and invite you to come and taste them."

"Okay, I'll take note." Wei Ming Yu Jin said, "When you're ready, I'll trick Second Brother into leaving even if I have to lie."

Yin Meizhen hugged her affectionately, "Yujin, you are so nice."

Wei Ming Yu Jin raised her hand and gently stroked her hair, thinking that she could only miss her boyhood through the moon in this life. If she could help Mei Zhen fulfill her wish before entering the palace, it would make up for some of her regrets.

The two hugged for a while, and Yin Meizhen murmured softly: "Yujin, the second prince doesn't want to see me, but I miss him very much."

Wei Ming Yu Jin immediately said, "I can take you to visit the Second Emperor."

"No." Yin Meizhen raised her head from her arms, her tone dejected, "I don't want to embarrass the Second Prince, nor do I want to bring trouble to him."

She stared into Weiming Yujin's eyes and said cautiously, "Yujin, can you come and talk to me every day? I can also come to find you.

Tell me whether the Second Prince is good or not, what he has done, and whether there are other women around him. Just tell me, and I will forget it even if I have seen it with my own eyes. "

These words were spoken humbly, but Wei Ming Yu Jin felt very sad.

She thought, how much Meizhen must like the second prince. The second prince is so mean, he doesn't know how to cherish the true love at all!

She agreed immediately: "Okay, I will come to you every day and tell you everything about the Second Prince."

"Thank you." Yin Meizhen smiled with her eyes curved.

On the other side, the grocery store.

The four members of the family all frowned in unison, touched their chins with their hands, and circled around the tied-up thief in the middle.

Chu Shangming said, "Send him to the authorities and let him be beaten with a stick to teach him a lesson. He won't dare to steal again."

Father Chu shook his head: "We can't send him to the authorities. He doesn't look like a Dasheng man. We have to find out his identity first and make sure he won't cause any trouble before sending him to the authorities."

Mrs. Bai disagreed: "If there is trouble, we must report it to the authorities. We can't keep it in our house. We can't tie him up forever, can we?"

Chu Shangming suggested: "Since the little thief has woken up, let's try him first."

"Let me do it." Chu Yuxin actively stretched out her little hand, grabbed the rag in Yao Zhou's mouth and pulled it out.

"Wait!" Chu's father and the other two hurriedly held her down, "What if he screams?"

Chu Yuxin blinked: "Can't I knock him out?"

Chu Shangming patted her head helplessly: "How can we interrogate her if she's unconscious?"

"Oh, yes." Chu Yuxin rubbed his head and looked up at his father. "Dad, what should I do?"

Father Chu: “…”

If he knew, would he just give up the shop and run around here with his family?

"Let's try him." Chu Shangming made up his mind. "Father, just stand next to him. If he screams, hit him with the carrying pole until he dares not scream."

"Brother." Chu Yuxin tugged at his sleeve, and when Chu Shangming lowered his head, she gave him a thumbs up, "You are still ruthless."

Chu Shangming: “…”

He slapped Chu Yuxin on the head and said, "Don't follow your sister's lead."

Chu Yuxin pouted, ran to get the carrying pole and handed it to her father.

Father Chu took the carrying pole and just stood next to Yao Zhou. When he turned around, he found that his wife had gone to the kitchen to get a rolling pin and was standing on the other side.

The couple looked at each other, one raised the carrying pole and the other raised the rolling pin, ready to hit whoever made a mistake.

Yao Zhou, who was captured because he underestimated his enemy, said: "..."

Is it that so?

I just want to ask you, is it really that serious?

If you want to beat him to death, just say so. Can't he just promise not to scream?

Chu Shangming looked at Yao Zhou and said, "You saw it too. If you dare to shout, they will definitely beat you."

"Yes, my father and mother's beatings hurt a lot." Chu Yuxin hugged her arms and said, "I will definitely beat your butt into pieces."

Yao Zhou: “…”

"I pulled it out." Chu Shangming reminded his parents to get ready, bent down, grabbed the rag in Yao Zhou's mouth, and pulled it out.

The saliva was pulled out along with it. Chu Yuxin walked away in disgust and hid behind Chu Shangming.

Chu Shangming didn't have time to care about her for the moment. He lowered his head and looked at Yao Zhou: "What's your name?"

Yao Zhou glanced at the black and white demons on his left and right, and said aggrievedly, "Ah Hu."

"He's lying!" Chu Yuxin jumped out and pointed at him, her big eyes wide open.

Yao Zhou was stunned. How did this little girl know that?

The three members of the Chu family had the same doubts.

Little Chu Yuxin wrinkled her nose and raised her chin: "I guessed it, it's always performed like this on stage."

The Chu family: "..."

Yao Zhou: “…”

Is this family suffering from a serious illness?

"Xiner guessed right." Chu Shangming kept staring at Yao Zhou's face, not missing a single change in his expression.

When Xin'er pointed it out, there was a clear flash of surprise in the man's eyes. If he had said his real name, he shouldn't have had that look on his face.

He gave the order: "Attack!"

The carrying pole and the rolling pin were swung down together, and the whistling sound was such that if someone was hit hard, he would be crippled if not killed.

"Tie Niu!" Yao Zhou said urgently, "My name is Wang Tie Niu!"

Father Chu and Mrs. Bai stopped at the same time and looked at their son. Are you still fighting?

Chu Shangming narrowed his eyes to examine Yao Zhou's expression, then shook his head at his parents, "It should be true."

Yao Zhou: “…”

He thought this scholar was so capable, but he just got away with it?

Chu Shangming then asked: "Where are you from?"

"I'm from Gaochang," Yao Zhou began to lie. "I got separated from the caravan and have no money to go home, so I thought I'd pawn some of my belongings to get some money back home."

"So he wanted to go home." Bai looked at Father Chu, feeling a little soft-hearted. "Master, he didn't steal anything. Why don't you let him go?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Zhou was delighted and quickly begged for mercy: "I am blind. I will never do it again. Please be kind and let me go. My elderly parents, wife and children are waiting for me at home."

He cried, "If it weren't for the need to earn a living, I wouldn't have come all the way to Dasheng from my hometown."

"Why are you crying without any tears?" Chu Yuxin leaned in closer to take a closer look. "Are you pretending to cry?"

"I have tears, I have tears." Yao Zhou tried hard to squeeze out tears.

Chu Yuxin wanted to take a closer look, but Chu Shangming reached out and pulled her behind him. He said to Yao Zhou, who was winking at him, "I learned Uighur in the academy. Let me hear you speak a few words."

Yao Zhou, who couldn't speak a word of Uighur, said: "..."

It’s just a small grocery store, how come there are people who can speak Uighur? What a mistake!

But looking at the carrying pole and rolling pin standing beside him, he had to learn how to do it even if he didn't know how!

He imitated others and muttered a few words, even mixing in some Xixia language, and he didn't even know what he was saying.

But he acted confident, staring straight at Chu Shangming, waiting for his reaction.
