Chapter 187 Being Bullied
Xia Xue and Yi An were dumbfounded when they saw the person coming out.
When Yi An heard that her second brother was actually helping an outsider, she became even angrier.
She was so angry that she stared at her second brother with fierce eyes.
After hearing Lan Xi's words, Ouyang Chang asked someone to bring the lotus pod without saying a word. At this time, his fan also moved up slightly.
Also see clearly who is standing opposite you.
The sun was low in the sky, her eyes were red and tears filled her eye sockets. Ouyang Chang immediately took back the fan from his head.
He looked at his younger sister and asked, "Why are you here?" He was surprised.
After asking, he looked around. Yi'an was still young, so it was impossible that she was the only one out.
He was afraid that his father and mother were also there.
When Yi'an saw that her second brother finally saw her, she was very angry and tears flowed down her face.
He walked up and pushed him: "You are a bad person, I don't like you." He pushed the second prince to squat on his butt.
Xia Xue bowed and then ignored the Second Prince on the ground and followed Princess Yi'an.
The people around were gloating over the man's misfortune when they saw that he had the audacity to push the Second Prince.
The Second Prince's methods of dealing with people are very cruel. Don't think that you can get away with it just because she's a little girl.
When Lanxi saw the second prince fall, she immediately stood up and went forward to help him.
"Your Highness." She looked distressed. "How could she be so bold as to push Your Highness?" Her tone was filled with displeasure, as well as an intention to avenge the Second Prince.
But who is Ouyang Chang? He understands that she is fake, but sometimes, it is not bad to treat her as a plaything.
When Ouyang Chang heard her call him her younger sister, he couldn't help but slapped her in the face.
"I'll settle the score with you later."
Then he asked his servants to take control of the place first. He had to go find Yi An. If she complained to his father, the emperor, and his mother, he would have a hard time this year.
When Yi'an came back crying, Xia Yutong and Wen Li were frightened.
Fortunately, Xia Xue followed behind.
Xia Yutong glanced at her, and when she saw Xia Xue shaking her head, she knew that nothing had happened to Yi'an.
"Yian, don't cry. Tell your mother who bullied you." Seeing her daughter crying, Xia Yutong's heart melted.
Yi An felt very aggrieved. His second brother actually yelled at him for a woman. He cried and said, "Second brother, he bullied me."
After saying that, Yian burst into tears again.
Xia Yutong was stunned. "Your second brother is here too?"
Wen Li glanced at Xia Xue. Xia Xue did not hide anything and told him everything that had just happened word for word without adding any extraneous information.
After hearing this, Wen Li laughed in anger: "I never thought that in the third generation of my royal family, there would be such a sentimental person."
He knew that one couldn't force others to be in love, so he rarely asked about Gen'er and Chang'er in private.
But he never expected that his good son would keep a courtesan.
Good skill.
Xia Yutong took Yi'an into the small room inside the private room. Some people needed to be taught a lesson.
However, she had to comfort Yi'an first. This was probably the first time the little girl had suffered such an injustice.
Wen Li sat there calmly, waiting for the rebellious son to come.
Not long after, Ouyang Chang walked in with the lotus pod that Yi An had dropped.
He had already come in, but when he remembered that the reason was for the lotus pod, he went back to get it.
He has to come and apologize.
I hope my little sister can be coaxed.
Unfortunately, when he saw the person guarding the door, he wanted to die.
Aunt Xia Xue appeared here alone, and he could understand that his mother was worried about Yi'an.
But when he saw the people around his father, he realized that he was not stupid and there was nothing he didn't understand.
Even if the emperor wanted to send someone to follow Yi An, he would not let these eunuchs follow.
Ouyang Chang felt that his life was over.
The clear sky in summer is bright, the sky is deep blue, and the sun is like a huge fireball, scorching the earth. Now, Ouyang Chang's heart seems to be scorched by the fireball as well.
He knocked gently on the door.
Inside, when Ouyang Chang arrived, Wen Li noticed him, and when he hesitated to move forward, Wen Li smiled.
It turns out that he is still afraid.
"Come in."
Ouyang Chang pushed the door open with difficulty and walked in.
"Father." He didn't kneel, because he knew that if he knelt at this moment, he would definitely be beaten.
It would be better not to kneel, so that maybe his father would listen to his explanation.
"Tell me." Wen Li just stared at him, neither laughing nor scolding, neither strict nor friendly.
The sunlight sprinkled on the rippling river surface, creating thousands of golden lights, and the light went straight into Ouyang Chang's heart.
"I was wrong."
He didn't dare to argue, he knew that his father was the most terrifying when he looked like this.
When they were young, their father loved to look at them like this when they were not studying.
In the end, he and his elder brother were both beaten by their father. If the emperor had not stopped them, the wooden stick would have been broken into several pieces.
"Wrong." Wen Li threw the teacup heavily at his feet. "You still know it's wrong, kid. You do such things outside every day. It seems that you have really let your temper run wild."
It’s okay to play, but there must be a limit.
What about him?
Not only does he keep a mistress, but he also doesn't know right from wrong and directly protects his own people. What future does such a person have?
Whenever his father got angry, Ouyang Chang felt guilty. Normally, his father rarely disciplined them, but when he got angry, no one could persuade him.
Unless it was the Queen Mother, but Ouyang Chang knew in his heart that the Queen Mother must be angrier than his father.
"From today onwards, you are not allowed to step out of the palace." Wen Li listened to the crying in the house. He didn't want to deal with this kid outside, so he decided to go back to the palace and do it later.
He stood up and went into the small room.
Looking at Yi An, whose eyes were red from crying, he said distressedly: "Okay, father will help you teach your second brother a lesson. If you still haven't gotten rid of your anger, let's go, father will take you to beat him up."
Yi An looked at her father who came in. Of course she heard the noise outside. In the past, she would have gone out to beg for mercy, but now, she wanted to beat him to death.
"Humph, I'll ignore my second brother and never talk to him again."
No one below knew what happened on the second floor, but since the Second Prince had come to apologize, I'm afraid...
When the people below thought of this, they felt very disappointed and filled with hatred towards Lan Xi.
Lanxi is just a girl among flowers. She has never seen the world. The biggest world she has ever seen was given to her by the Second Prince. Now, even the Second Prince has to admit his mistake. She is scared.
"Lu'er, what should we do?" She held her maid's hand tightly in fear.
If Lu'er knew what to do, she wouldn't be a maid.
"Miss, we're done." Lu'er said dazedly.
Wen Li was no longer interested in the boat tour, so he asked someone to drive the boat back.
When getting off the boat, just let people get out of the way.
After leaving, the people on the boat also left safely.
But they were all terrified, afraid of being punished afterwards. When they returned home, they were as well-behaved as quails, which surprised their parents, who thought they had become well-behaved.
It was not until they learned that the second prince was convicted that they thought of their own children, and none of them could escape being punished.
Of course, this is a later story.
Xia Mansion.
The servants were very surprised to see the emperor and empress arriving.
However, after paying his respects, he led his people in politely.
Along the way, Ouyang Chang had been looking for an opportunity to apologize to his younger sister, but unfortunately Yi An did not give him this chance.
As soon as he arrived at the Xia Mansion, Yi An complained to his grandparents about his second brother bullying him.
If it were another family, they might not offend him too much because of his status as the Second Prince.
But the Xia Mansion is different.
When they learned that Yi'an was bullied by Ouyang Chang, the first person to be unhappy was their grandfather.
Father Xia did not use any harsh words to scold Ouyang Chang.
Instead, he was dragged to the martial arts training ground.
After the competition, Ouyang Chang had no good flesh on his body.
Even his face was covered with scars.
Seeing how pitiful he was, Yi An finally showed mercy and forgave him.
But although she forgave him, she still didn't want to talk to her second brother. It was too infuriating.
After comforting Yi'an, Xia's mother began to ask about the reason.
Upon learning that her sister had been offended for a courtesan, Xia's mother shut her kind mouth.
"Mom, are you feeling well recently?" Since the emperor's death, Xia Yutong has paid more attention to her parents' health.
However, the health of both of them is not very ideal. They suffered damage to their foundation when they were young, which shortened their lifespan.
Mother Xia looked at her daughter's concerned eyes and nodded: "I'm fine, don't worry." She didn't think she was feeling unwell.
"I'm glad you're okay. You must keep taking the medicine and food I gave you. Don't stop." Ever since the Xia family came to the imperial city, she has prescribed medicine and food for her parents, asking them to take them every day, hoping that they will live longer.
"I'm eating." Mother Xia knew her daughter was concerned about her. "Your father and I are fine. As for you, are you adapting well in the palace?"
She often heard her daughter complain about the boring life in the palace.
"It's okay." Habit is a terrible habit.
She is now beginning to get used to life in the inner court of the imperial palace.
A little joy every day, a little smile every day, and the days will pass by like this.
Calm and peaceful.
Wen Li and Xia Yutong came to Xia's house, and Xia's father asked someone to call Xiaoxuan's family over.
It's a good opportunity for us to have dinner together tonight.
Heng'er from the palace was also called out.
There is no such thing as men and women sitting at different tables in the Xia family.
But there were too many people, so we split into two tables.
At the dinner table, Xiaoxuan mentioned that he might be going out, and the smiles on Xia's father and mother's faces immediately disappeared.
"Can't you just behave yourself?" Father Xia put down his chopsticks and said angrily.
Xiaoxuan also put down his chopsticks and looked directly at his father, "Dad, I'm not a child. What's wrong with going out?" He didn't think there was anything wrong with going out.
Besides, he is not alone, he is with Xiaoxiao and the children.
"Tell me, how many times can our family get together throughout the year? You were not away at home that time." Father Xia is in his old age, and he prefers the days when the whole family is together.
In fact, he was a little scared at this point.
Just like in the dream, he was afraid that something might happen to the children.
With everything right in front of him, at least he could see that they were safe.
"But I'm still young and I want to travel around." Xiaoxuan was not going to give in on this point.
He has his own life, his own ideas and family. He can't be tied to his parents all his life.
Mother Xia said nothing, but just looked at her grown-up son with red eyes.
I don’t know since when, Xiaoxuan has obviously not been that close to them.
She didn't know what was in between, which made her, as a mother, feel very uncomfortable.
I want everyone in the family to be harmonious, but this father and son start quarreling after just a few words.
Every time we quarrel, I won’t be able to see my son for several days.
Sometimes she also resents Brother Feng for forcing the child to stay with him.
But he also has his own ideas, and he is not wrong.
Wen Li was a little envious of Xiao Xuan, who could live the life he wanted.
And he still has to continue to bear the responsibility.
Taking a look at Wen'er who was eating with relish, Wen Li felt that it was time to give Wen'er a boost.
For some reason, Ouyang Gen felt a chill on his back.
After shaking myself, I didn't think much about it.
"Dad, I'm not going away and won't come back." Xiaoxuan's sleeve was pulled by Luo Xiaoxiao, and he restrained himself and said, "I heard that someone went out to sea this time, and I want to go with them to see. It won't be far. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be back in two years at most."
He still explained why he was leaving.
When he heard about going out to sea, Ouyang Chang's eyes lit up. Unfortunately, his eyes were so swollen that no one could see his bright eyes.
"Going out to sea?" This was not the first time Father Xia had heard of this. He was also a businessman, and South City was the place where businesses were most developed.
Of course he wanted to go out to sea to gain some experience, but the risks at sea were huge and there was no one to rely on. If something went wrong, he would be helpless.
"Who are you with?" Father Xia also understood him. Since he said so much, it proved that he had made up his mind.
Persuading them further would only make their relationship worse.
"This time I'm going with Shiyou." Brother Jiang wanted to go, but the imperial city couldn't do without him.
Over the years, their business has grown bigger and bigger, and their subordinates have also become interested. If no one is keeping an eye on it, they are afraid that something bad will happen.
So someone has to keep an eye on it.
Plus, Sister Shanning couldn't leave, so he had to stay at home.
Father Xia sighed, "It's not that Dad doesn't want you to go out, it's just that Dad is old, and your brother is a nerd. The family still depends on you to support it. If you go out and something happens to you, how are you going to let your mother and I live?"
It's rare that Father Xia is willing to talk about these things.
Normally, he was used to being tough, and it was so hard for him to soften up, which made everyone feel sad.
Yes, Father Xia is indeed not young anymore. He is in his early sixties and his hair has turned gray. He is no longer the strong man he used to be.
Xiaoxuan didn't know how long it had been since he had taken a good look at his father. As he said, he was really old.
"Dad, I understand." Looking at his father's half-white hair, Xiaoxuan felt heavy.
He knew that there were some things that no matter how many barriers there were, they would be nothing when facing death.
The meal was finally finished.
Xia Yutong called Xiaoxuan over to talk to him alone.
"Sister, are you here to persuade me too?" Xiaoxuan asked with a smile after seeing his elder sister.
Xia Yutong shook her head, "No, I just want to tell you something."
That’s right, she originally didn’t intend to say it.
But now, she felt that it was time to tell him: "You also know medical skills, and you can see that Dad and Mom's health is good. They are at the age of knowing their destiny."
Even if she keeps raising it, she really can't increase her lifespan.
For example, if a person is seriously ill and his life span is shortened due to the disease, and then he uses the spiritual spring water to cure the disease, it can only make him free of disease and pain in this life, but it will not affect the life span that was previously shortened.
