Chapter 491 Murong An
The steward said disdainfully, "Who do you think is worthy of meeting our prince? I advise you to give the boy to me. I have no patience."
After the steward finished speaking, he snorted in his heart. Looking at the lady's appearance, she was probably looking for an excuse to see their prince. Is their prince worthy of seeing a married woman like this?
Bah, shameless.
Su Yue didn't take the steward's contempt to heart. She had seen many people who relied on the power of others. She pointed to the carriage behind her and said, "Look at the owner of that carriage. Do you think he is qualified?"
The steward then noticed the carriage not far behind Su Yue, with a sign on it indicating the palace.
When the steward saw the words "Prince Li's Mansion", his calves immediately trembled, and he knelt heavily in front of Su Yue with a plop: "This humble servant greets Princess Li."
When the boy heard that it was Princess Li, his eyes flashed, he bit his lip and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Su Yue only glanced at him and saw that the boy was so calm and not panicked at all.
She withdrew her gaze and looked at the steward: "Can you tell me now why you want to arrest this boy?"
The manager's eyes were darting around in fear, and he was extremely anxious. What should he say?
How did he meet Princess Li, someone he didn't want to meet? Not only him, but even Prince Huai didn't want to meet her.
Prince Huai is keeping a low profile in the capital these days. If Prince Li finds out what Prince Huai's Mansion has done, then Prince Huai's Mansion will be in dire straits.
There is no wall that is impenetrable. Even a passing wild goose leaves traces. No matter how secretly some things are done in Prince Huai's Mansion, there will still be traces.
Moreover, Prince Huai's Mansion also set its sights on the children in this area. Everyone knows that this is a taboo for the royal family.
Oh my God, why is he so unlucky?
The steward wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Princess, since this boy won't go back to Prince Huai's Mansion with me, then forget it. I'll take my leave now."
The steward kowtowed heavily to Su Yue on the ground, then got up and ran away.
Su Yue ignored him. She couldn't get any information out of a servant like him.
She then asked the boy, "What do you think this is?"
The boy was led by Hongye and he knelt down: "I greet the princess."
Su Yue nodded: "Well, get up and talk."
The boy didn't stand up, but looked at Su Yue hesitantly and said, "Can the princess help me?"
Su Yue nodded: "As long as you haven't done anything illegal, I can help you."
The boy bit his lip and said, "A month ago, this steward came to my house and said that Prince Huai's palace had taken a fancy to me and wanted me to be his son. If I agreed, they would cure my mother's illness.
At that time, I just wanted to treat my mother's illness, so I agreed.
But after we entered the mansion, things were completely different. They treated us like servants. We were not warm enough or well fed every day, and we had to do a lot of dirty and tiring work.
None of this matters. I am a worthless person and can endure anything, but I cannot stand their deception. Not only did they not treat my mother's illness, they also didn't give her the promised money, so I ran away."
Su Yue frowned after hearing this: "Aren't you the only one entering Prince Huai's Mansion?"
The boy nodded.
Su Yue glanced at the area and asked the boy, "Where's your mother? How is she now?"
When the boy was told about his mother's illness, his face turned worried. He shook his head and said, "It's very serious. My mother is coughing up blood. The doctor said it's called tuberculosis. If it's not treated in time, there's no way to save her. But I don't have money, so I can't ask my mother to treat her illness."
After the boy finished speaking, he cried silently.
Su Yue pulled the boy up and touched his messy hair: "Can you take me to see your mother?"
The boy looked at Su Yue with his eyes wide open, his face full of surprise, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Princess, can you save my mother? I will repay you when I grow up."
Su Yue smiled and said, "I need to see your mother's condition before I can know if she can be cured."
When the boy heard that he had to see it first, his face suddenly darkened. He only uttered a soft "oh" and then said, "Then I will take the princess to see my mother."
The princess has power and money, maybe she can really seduce my mother.
The boy sniffed, turned around and led the way.
"Okay, what's your last name and your name?" Su Yue walked up to the boy, took his hand, and asked him again.
The boy felt Su Yue's warm hand, and his uneasy heart calmed down a lot. He said, "My name is Murong An. It was given by my mother. She said that she wanted me to grow up in peace."
"Hmm, nice name. Where's your dad?"
There is no parent in the world who does not love his or her children.
Murong An lowered his head and said sullenly, "He died when I was only two years old. He abandoned me and my son."
"I'm sorry for reminding you of sad things." Su Yue apologized quickly.
Murong An shook his head and took Su Yue into a narrow alley.
This alley is wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass in and out, and there are residents on both sides, all of whom are low tiled houses. Some of them have garbage cans at the door, emitting a foul odor that is nauseating.
Murong An was already used to it. He didn't even frown and walked straight in.
Some people saw him holding hands with a lady in gorgeous clothes, and they stood out to watch curiously.
When they wanted to discuss something, they saw the unfriendly looks from Hongye and Hongyu and everyone shut up.
Murong An took Su Yue to a yard and stopped. The yard looked very dilapidated and had been in disrepair for many years. There were fewer tiles on the roof.
The paint on the yard door had all fallen off, revealing its original color. The door frame was also broken and looked shaky.
Murong An gently pushed the door open and invited Su Yue in.
Su Yue nodded and followed Murong An into the yard.
This is a small courtyard with only two main rooms and one east and west wing room. They are all dilapidated, but kept clean.
It doesn't fit in with Murong An.
In fact, all the courtyards here have this structure, very small quadrangles.
"Mother, An'er is back, and she brought guests with her."
As soon as Murong An entered the yard, he let go of Su Yue's hand and ran towards the main house, shouting as he ran.
“Cough cough cough…”
A heart-wrenching cough immediately came from the room, as if the lungs were coughed out.
"Ahem... An'er, what, a guest?"
A woman's hoarse, intermittent questioning voice came from the room.
"It's Princess Li."
Murong An had already entered the room. He helped the woman up and half-leaned on her before speaking.
"Ahem... Wh-what, Princess Li?"
The woman was extremely surprised.
Murong An stretched out his small hand and placed it on the woman's back, nodding as he took a deep breath, "Yes, the princess said she wanted to see my mother's illness."
"Ahem... Mother's illness cannot be cured. An'er, let the princess go. Let's go. Such a distinguished person should not come here."
The woman reached out and smoothed Murong An's messy hair, and said lovingly.
