Chapter 18 Every time I make a fool of myself, it's always by his side

Xie Anci hung his head, looking like an eggplant hit by frost.

There were almost no people around, and Xie Anci walked slowly on the street like a zombie.

The broken jade hairpins on the ground had long been trampled into pieces, and Xie Anci was in no mood to care about them at this time.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and he was soaked.

The cold rain slid down his cheeks, but he seemed to be unaware of it.

His thoughts were in a mess, and Li Jinchen's angry eyes and Zhou Yunqing's pale face kept intertwining in his mind.

Suddenly, a red umbrella appeared above his head, and Xie Anci turned his head to look.

Xie You looked at him breathlessly, with some inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

The boy's fair face was tinged with pink, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes when he looked at Xie Anci.

Xie Anci smiled bitterly, wondering why his adopted son was always by his side every time he made a fool of himself.

"Adoptive father..." Xie You called softly and gently.

Xie Anci moved his lips, his voice hoarse.

"You... why are you here?"

"I just wanted to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and I happened to see my adoptive father." Xie You looked away with a guilty conscience.

Xie Anci was confused at this moment, and did not notice that Xie You was wet.

"Adoptive father, let's go back." Xie You did not ask any more questions.

It was not his business to ask about his adoptive father's affairs, although he had just seen everything.

He knew that Li Jinchen could not be sincere to his adoptive father.

That's great.

As long as his adoptive father continued to be so disappointed, he would eventually be his.

He would always be with Xie Anci, with Xie Anci who was heartbroken.

The young man was tall and thin, half a head taller than Xie Anci.

At this time, Xie Anci did not notice that Xie You had a smile on his face, which was subtle and proud.

Xie Anci nodded. He didn't want to see this street at all.

He even wanted to raze this street to the ground.

Why did he let Li Jinchen accompany him out?

He was the only one here today, and he would definitely get rid of Zhou Yunqing in secret to prevent future troubles.

He softened his heart in the end.

The young man's hand touched Xie Anci's hand, and the warm touch warmed Xie Anci's heart a little.

He suddenly remembered that when Xie You was a child, he was the one holding Xie You's hand.

Now it's the other way around, Xie You holding his hand.

The young man has grown up so quickly, time is really merciless.

Xie Anci looked at Xie You's back, it's time to help him find some noble ladies in the capital.

Xie You was still immersed in joy and had no idea what Xie Anci was thinking.

The two got on the carriage and returned to the Regent's Palace.

In this short period of time, Xie Anci also adjusted his mood.

After getting off the carriage, he hurried to his study.

"Godfather!" Xie You, who originally wanted to be intimate with Xie Anci, shouted hurriedly.

"I have something to take care of, you can do your own thing." Xie Anci left this sentence and locked himself in the study.

Xie You was angry and annoyed. Couldn't his adoptive father keep his eyes on him? Even for a moment.

He had been looking forward to celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with his adoptive father today, but he didn't expect it to end like this.

Xie You seemed to have lost his temper and turned away disappointed.

Xie Anci locked the door of the study, and then shouted angrily:

"Yingyi, come out to me!"

As soon as the voice fell, a black shadow jumped out.

"Master." Yingyi knelt on one knee, trembling slightly in his heart.

"How did you do it? Why was Zhou Yunqing still found?" Xie Anci looked forbearing, but Yingyi still knew that Xie Anci was very angry at this time.

"It's my fault. I didn't send anyone to keep an eye on him." Ying Yi lowered his head, not daring to look at Xie Anci.

"It's your fault, go down and accept the punishment, one hundred lashes." Xie Anci said coldly.

"Yes, I accept the punishment." Ying Yi did not defend himself, but accepted the punishment in a low voice.

At this time, another man in black squatting on the beam couldn't help but say:

"Your Highness, this matter can't be blamed entirely on Ying Yi. One hundred lashes is too much. He will die."

"What? You want to be punished for him?" Xie Anci's unhappiness spread undisguisedly, and his beautiful face was full of frost.

"Ying Er! Don't be rude! Your Highness, I accept the punishment." Ying Yi said hurriedly.

One hundred lashes, whether he lives or dies depends on his luck.

"Then go ahead, all of you, I want to be quiet." Xie Anci sent them out.

Seeing this, Ying Er's eyes flashed with hatred.

Xie Anci was really merciless. They risked their lives for Xie Anci.

He was going to punish the boss with a hundred lashes just because of Zhou Yunqing?

What a cold-blooded, vicious man.

Ying Er snorted coldly and followed Ying Yi. He wanted to keep an eye on them and ask the person who was punishing to go easy on him.

"Boss, Xie Anci is too much. It's obviously the problem there, but he still wants to vent his anger on you." Ying Er couldn't help but mutter.

"Shut up! How can you call the Regent King by his name? We are just the Regent King's shadow guards. Whatever the Regent King says is what we do." Ying Yi looked at Ying Er with a warning.

Ying Er curled his lips, "You should worry about yourself. If you keep protecting him like this, how can he compare to Old Wang Ye even one ten-thousandth of him?"

"Is he worthy of your loyalty?"

"He is also our master. You cannot talk about the master behind his back, otherwise don't blame me for turning hostile." Ying Yi said and left in a hurry.

Ying Er stamped his feet, what a foolish loyalty!

He looked back, and saw seven or eight shadow guards dressed in black like him behind him.

"Don't worry, those people will show mercy, otherwise I will let the punished people die quietly." Shadow Three turned the dagger in his hand, and there was no emotion in his voice.

The other people nodded one after another.

Shadow Two curled his lips, and it turned out that he was the only one worrying about nothing.

Xie Anci locked himself in the study, and every minute and every second was torture.

He wanted to know what Li Jinchen was doing now? Is Zhou Yunqing dead or alive?

Dong Dong Dong...

There was a very light knock on the door.

Xie Anci covered his face and lay back on the chair very tiredly, and his voice was a little tired, "Come in."

Xie You walked in with a bowl of ginger soup.

"Godfather, the hot water is ready. Do you want to take a hot bath?"

Xie You placed the ginger soup in front of Xie Anci.

Xie Anci's clothes and hair were still wet at this time, and his long black hair was a little messy and stuck to his beautiful face.

His originally cherry-pink lips turned pale at this time, and his fragile beauty made Xie You's eyes turn red.

He wanted to hide his godfather like this, so that only he could see him.

Xie Anci was surprised when he heard Xie You's words, and he felt a little cold at this time.

"Drink the ginger soup first, be careful not to catch a cold." Xie You worried.

Xie Anci hesitated for a moment, "I'd better go take a shower first."

"Huh?" Xie You was puzzled, "Ginger soup will be useless if it gets cold."

Xie Anci pretended not to hear him and left the study room in a hurry.

Xie You took a while to react, could it be that his godfather doesn't like ginger soup?
