Chapter 142 Amnesia? Or a disguise?
Siguo Hall.
Quan Xiu reviewed the documents in front of the case.
The little snake was locked in a specially made cage, padded with several layers of soft brocade mattresses, and placed on the table so he could see it at all times.
"This is a minor punishment, but a serious warning. I'll lock you up for three days." Quan Xiu flipped through a page of paperwork and said calmly, "If you run around again next time, I won't come looking for you."
Xiao Qi was already feeling depressed, and upon hearing this, she burst into tears, "Wow, I'm really a motherless child, and my father doesn't even kiss me. When my sister hatches, I'll be nothing but a little grass with no one to care for me."
“…” He’s so noisy. Who did he take his personality from?
Quan Xiu sighed with a headache, "I didn't say I don't care about you."
Every time it ran away, he would rush over to find it. No matter what trouble it got into, Quan Xiu would settle it.
"Then Dad! Let me out!"
"Let me out, you're going to run around again."
"I won't run around this time, I promise. I found my mother!"
"Are you talking about that female?" Quan Xiu paused what he was doing. For some reason, he couldn't read the words in the book anymore. He remembered what the little snake had said last time: she had an aura that made him instinctively feel close to her, and he couldn't help but want to find her.
"She is my mother, absolutely true. Dad, if you quickly bring my mother home, I will never run around again." Xiao Qi said.
"...When you first came to the palace, you used the same excuse. You said that you liked the scent of the concubine Luanzhi and that it made you feel familiar, so I kept her. You changed wives too quickly, and I couldn't marry her." Quan Xiu had heard it use this excuse more than once, so he didn't take it to heart.
"No, it's different! I just like the scent of that Luanzhi. Somehow, it smells so good, and I can't help but want to smell it on her, but I don't like her. She always uses me as an excuse to pester Dad, and I'm so fed up with her!" The little snake said anxiously, "You can't marry Luanzhi, you have to marry Mom. You better keep Mom by your side. I swear, I will never run around again!"
"If you'll be obedient, I'll consider it."
"That's great, Dad. You must stay with Mom well. Other little beastmen have parents, and in the future, Xiao Qi will also have a mother!"
Quan Xiu nodded, his heart calm. It made no difference to him who he married.
Whoever Xiaoqi wants to be a beast mother, he will choose as his partner and give him the home he longs for.
"Sir, the noblewoman you brought back this morning has woken up, and she wants to see you for something."
"Well, let her in."
As soon as Sang Luo entered the house, he saw Xiao Qi trapped in a cage and felt both amused and helpless.
Quan Xiu put down the documents in his hand, looked at her, and dismissed the servants serving beside him.
"What do you want from me?"
Sang Luo looked at him, with another mask on her face. It didn't matter whether she wore it or not. "Well, thank you for saving me."
"You're welcome, just doing it casually."
Sang Luo was speechless, pursed his lips, and asked again, "Quan Xiu, why did you pretend not to know you when I met you last time at the morning market?"
"…Do we know each other?"
"You don't remember me?" Sang Luo was surprised.
He didn't respond, and no one knew what he was thinking. Sang Luo didn't know what to say either. The two looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
After a while, Quan Xiu came over with the cage on the desk and handed it to her. "I have some things to take care of. My son likes you very much. I wonder if you are free to help me look after it."
The two of them were so close that Sang Luo could smell the faint fragrance on him. It was very familiar and pleasant...
As soon as Xiao Qi saw Sang Luo, she wagged her tail happily. Sang Luo also liked this little snake very much. She came back to her senses and took the cage, "Don't worry, I will take good care of your little prince!"
Quan Xiu nodded in satisfaction and left first.
After Sang Luo took Xiao Qi out, she met Luan Zhi again. She must have come to find Quan Xiu. When she saw Sang Luo with the little snake, her face suddenly became very ugly.
Is this the resentment for stealing my son?
Sang Luo put herself in Luan Zhi's shoes and felt uncomfortable. She was wondering whether she should return the little snake to Luan Zhi when the little snake suddenly said, "Mom, I'm sleepy. Can you take Xiao Qi to your room to sleep? Xiao Qi wants to sleep in your arms."
"You! You can talk!" Sang Luo was surprised. Was this "mother" calling her? Or...
Sang Luo looked at Luan Zhi, who dared not speak out her anger not far away, and then looked at Xiao Qi, who was swaying happily towards her. These two did not look like a real mother and son at all. It seemed that she had guessed wrong before. Luan Zhi was not Xiao Qi's real mother.
She chuckled and said, "Mom, please don't yell."
"But you are my mother. I love the smell of your body and want to be with you."
A strange feeling flashed through Sang Luo's mind.
The little snake came to her many times and was very close to her. The little cub was not pretending, it really regarded her as its mother...
But nothing happened between her and Quan Xiu.
No, she has never really seen Quan Xiu's face since she entered the mansion. A thought flashed through Sang Luo's mind, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably.
The brothers Quan Xiu and Caesar look almost the same, but there are slight differences between their eyebrows and eyes. She can tell that if she can take off the mask, the truth will be revealed.
But, putting aside the question of whether Kaisar was really still alive, Quan Xiu treated her coldly, as if looking at a stranger. How could it be him...
Is it a disguise? Or amnesia?
In just a few breaths, Sang Luo's mind was full of thoughts. He had some vague guesses, but no evidence yet.
She said to Xiao Qi, "Can you tell mother what has happened between you and your father over the past year?"
"Okay, mother! But Xiaoqi only woke up half a year ago, so there are many things he doesn't know. But I will tell you everything I know." It said happily.
Sang Luo took Xiao Qi back to the house.
Luan Zhi was a little far away and didn't know what the two were talking about, but when she saw the intimate posture of Sang Luo and the little snake, she felt a huge sense of crisis in her heart.
Normally, because she was close to the little snake, Quan Xiu would often stay by her side. But now, another female had replaced her, which made Luan Zhi feel panic.
It’s no good if it’s not her biological child. She can’t wait any longer. She must get pregnant with Quan Xiu’s child as soon as possible to maintain her position.
Luan Zhi went to the Reflection Hall and found that Quan Xiu had already left. She gave the housekeeper a few crystal stones and said, "Please inform me when the master returns."
In the evening, the housekeeper sent someone to report that Quan Xiu had returned.
Luan Zhi changed into a pink lotus gauze skirt as thin as a cicada's wing, took some food and pastries, and went to the study.
The man was correcting documents on the memorial.
He had a pure and elegant appearance, his black hair was not tied up, he wore a white inner garment, and a dark blue cloak on his back, and his posture was casual.
Luan Zhi felt a desire ignited in her body, and her mouth was dry. "Sir, I will grind ink for you."
