After struggling for a while, he looked at the quiet courtyard next door and said in a deep voice, "Madam An, I have something to tell you."
Looking at Wu Xuanji like that, An Xuetao knew what he was going to say.
He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you talking about Chu Xiu?"
Wu Xuanji's eyes widened. "You, you, you, how do you know?"
"I, An Xuetao, am not a fool."
After a pause, An Xuetao looked heavy-hearted and bowed. "Thank you for always protecting our family. I really can't repay you."
Wu Xuanji smiled and waved his hand, "No need to thank me, just thank the prince. I am the prince's secret guard. Besides, I am very happy in the An family."
Wu Xuanji changed the subject and looked at the other side. "Since you know he is Chu Xiu, why don't you tell him? Don't worry, the prince will never mind your past over the years. He will definitely treat Xie Ling as his own child..."
An Xuetao interrupted him, "I know my limits when it comes to recognizing each other. As for Xie Ling...she is Wei Xiuchu's child."
Wu Xuanji's eyes widened, and he could hardly control his facial expression. "What? You, you, you, say it again?"
An Xuetao: "Didn't you notice that Xie Ling's eyes are exactly the same as Wei Xiuchu's?"
Wu Xuanji scratched his head. For so many years, the prince had been wearing a mask. He had forgotten what the prince looked like...
After An Xuetao said this, he recalled it and found that it was exactly the same!
Your Majesty, Your Majesty has a child!
Miss Xie is such an outstanding person!
Wu Xuanji's breathing was rapid, and his eyes were red with excitement. "Well, well, well, we have to tell the prince right away! The prince will be so happy!"
His prince had suffered for most of his life, and God finally showed him favor!
An Xuetao quickly hushed, "He has a strong sense of self-esteem. I don't want him to know that I have recognized him. Don't let him know. I will tell him after he recovers."
Wu Xuanji nodded in surprise, but in fact he didn't hear clearly what An Xuetao said.
There was only a row of big words in my mind, playing over and over again.
The prince has a child, Xie Ling is the prince's child........
Wu Xuanji walked out of the door swayingly, as if he was walking on clouds.
He felt that he would definitely not be able to control himself and tell the prince, he couldn't hide the truth at all...
The moon was bright in the sky, and the sounds of firecrackers and noisy voices from the street could be heard from far away in the alley.
An Xuetao knocked on the door next door.
She dressed up today and changed into a new set of clothes. Although she is over 30 years old, she is still stunningly beautiful.
She said to the figure in the yard:
"Mr. Wei, shall we go for a walk on the street? It's very lively today on the winter solstice."
Wei Xiuchu raised his eyes and gently curled his lips, "Okay."
On the street.
The buildings on both sides of the road were all hung with lanterns, which looked like a long dragon from a distance, as bright as day.
There are all kinds of stalls selling everything, and the crowds are bustling, making it very lively.
The cattle farm slaughtered fifty sheep today, and raw mutton is being sold in front of the county government office.
Today’s special price: one centimeter per pound, people lined up in long queues.
Wei Xiuchu looked up and sighed, "This is what life is like."
An Xuetao pushed Wei Xiuchu into a hot pot restaurant.
This store is owned by Xie Ling. There were a lot of people here today and people had to queue.
The waiter had sharp eyes and as soon as he saw An Xuetao, he took them through the back door into the superior private room.
"Mrs. An, please choose the soup base and dishes you want to eat."
"Okay, thank you."
An Xuetao pushed the order over and said, "You order."
Wei Xiuchu had never eaten hotpot before, so he ordered a few dishes at random.
An Xuetao added a few more things that she thought were delicious.
As soon as the waiter brought the soup base, a rich aroma filled the box.
The bone soup turned into a milky white color with some light and dark oil spots floating on it.
An Xuetao put the vegetables into the pot.
Green chrysanthemum, white bamboo shoots, thinly sliced mutton, boneless fish, plump little mushrooms…
After a while.
Ingredients of various colors were rolling in the thick white bone soup.
It’s cold in winter, but the food is piping hot and tastes so delicious that it almost makes your tongue drop.
The waiter brought another pot of mellow rice wine.
Sinan’s rice wine contains glutinous rice fermented rice, which adds a bit of sweetness.
After eating, An Xuetao was still not satisfied and drank another bowl of thick mutton soup.
By the way, I poured a bowl for Wei Xiuchu as well.
When leaving the store, Wei Xiuchu felt that this was the happiest moment of his life.
There were still many people on the street at this time.
Many people are waiting to eat mutton hotpot and are still queuing.
Some children were setting off firecrackers, and the two were walking in the smoke from the firecrackers, their backs gradually moving away.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the bluestone alley, Wei Xiuchu felt a fatal pain coming up from his legs. He tried hard to maintain his body shape, cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
Xie Ling specifically emphasized last night that during the recent treatment, one must not eat mutton, fish, or tofu.
But he ate everything today.
The retribution came so quickly that Wei Xiuchu felt helpless.
He clenched his fists, hoping that An Xuetao would push faster, otherwise he would show some signs of abnormality.
After finally reaching the gate of the courtyard, An Xuetao said she wanted to sit for a while.
Wei Xiuchu laughed.
But how could he refuse her?
Then just bear with it for a while.
An Xuetao has a lot of thoughts in her mind today.
She really wanted to tell Wei Xiuchu that she had recognized him a long time ago.
Can……
Looking down, An Xuetao’s eyes widened.
"Wei Xiuchu, what's wrong with you?"
Wei Xiuchu's neck turned red, and the few exposed fingers turned terribly purple.
Wei Xiuchu forced a smile: "Nothing."
An Xuetao didn't believe him.
This person would hold up the sky by himself even if it fell.
An Xuetao panicked and lifted up Wei Xiuchu's shirt. Before he could react, she lifted up his trouser legs.
The pair of atrophied legs were covered with needle holes of various sizes, and at this moment, the tendons and veins were densely packed, and one could tell at a glance that they were in great pain.
Tears fell from An Xuetao's eyes. "What's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
As he spoke, he placed his hand on Wei Xiuchu's leg and kneaded it gently.
I didn't knead it much.
An Xuetao felt light all over, and the next moment, she fell into a forced embrace.
The man's body was filled with a cool and refreshing fragrance, a scent she was familiar with.
Wei Xiuchu whispered softly into An Xuetao's ear.
"Xiao Tao, when did you recognize me?"
