Chapter 8
Hearing Lu Xiaobai's words, He Qin and Ling Yi turned around and stared at him closely.
Lu Xiaobai looked at them in confusion, and after a moment of hesitation he realized that what he had just said seemed inappropriate. After all, this was a feudal dynasty. What if these people madly worshipped the emperor and reported what he had just said to the government? Wouldn't he be dead then?
He felt guilty, and even his eyes became unfocused: "You, what are you looking at me for?"
He Qin's face looked very ugly, and Ling Yi's face was not good either. Lu Xiaobai was frightened by this serious scene and his legs went weak. He grabbed He Qin's arm in fear and pleaded softly: "Why don't you say anything? I, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't be disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor. He Qin, don't send me to be beheaded..."
Lu Xiaobai started crying before he finished speaking. It had been less than three days since he came here, and he didn't want to be so unlucky. Not to mention the world, he was about to die before he could even see the whole village or even their small yard.
Thinking that he was going to die, Lu Xiaobai cried extremely sadly: "Wuwuwu..."
He Qin: ...
He took a deep breath. In the past, he always thought that boys were very smart and admired them. He even fantasized about marrying a smart boy to accompany him for the rest of his life.
But why is the guy he married not only not smart but also so stupid?
Seeing He Qin's expression change, Ling Yi also breathed a sigh of relief. He patted Lu Xiaobai's shoulder and supported his arm as they walked home. "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. We can't send you to see the officials. Disrespecting the royal family will result in the execution of all nine generations of your clan. So, we're not that... ahem..."
Not so stupid as to send the whole family to the guillotine.
Lu Xiaobai suddenly remembered this rule, but he just questioned the emperor's ability. Is it so serious that he wants to kill the whole family and nine clans?
Lu Xiaobai shuddered, tears streaming down his face again. He opened his mouth to complain about the emperor's dictatorship, but before he could say anything, Lingyi said, "But sister-in-law, please don't say such things again. If anyone hears, our...our entire family's lives are in your hands. Be careful with your words, sister-in-law!"
Lu Xiaobai curled his lips, finally lowered his head, and said nothing.
What kind of place is this? Not only are the people poor, but the emperor is high above everyone else, living in luxury and not even allowed to say a word.
And that bad guy named Liu Yi came to kidnap him...
Lu Xiaobai sat in front of the bed and wiped away his tears helplessly. Although he was beaten away this time, what if he came again in the future? Moreover, that person seemed to be quite rich. What if he bullied them in the future?
He couldn't eat or sleep well, there wasn't even a toilet, and there were no security personnel. He was always in danger of having his entire family executed for saying the wrong thing or being kidnapped by bad guys. Lu Xiaobai felt that he couldn't live like this!
He Qin stood in the yard, and when he heard the crying inside suddenly stopped, he frowned and looked back, then said to Ling: "Turn over the remaining piece and come back, go hunting and do business, and renovate the house."
Lingyi clasped his fists respectfully and replied, "Yes!"
Then, Lingyi carried the hoe and left.
He Qin was stunned for a moment, then turned around and went back to his room.
Only when he entered the room did he understand why the crying suddenly stopped. It turned out that Lu Xiaobai had fallen asleep.
Lu Xiaobai was lying on the bed, his little face buried in the quilt, only the side of his face was exposed, and there were traces of tears in the corners of his eyes, which made people feel distressed.
He Qin sat on the edge of the bed and involuntarily reached out to wipe away the tear: "You can really sleep."
I went to bed late and woke up less than half an hour ago, and now I'm asleep again.
He Qin looked at the water stains on his hands, unable to believe that he would make such an abnormal action. He instantly became irritated and stood up to leave.
But as soon as he turned around, Lu Xiaobai hugged his arms and begged, crying, "Don't go, don't go, I'm scared, He Qin, save me..."
He Qin turned around and saw Lu Xiaobai with his eyes tightly closed, fear on his face. He held his hands and tried his best to hide himself.
He Qin knew that Lu Xiaobai was having a nightmare.
