Chapter 215: Thin and Small, Soft and Boneless



Xiao Yexing immediately said, "There is still official business here, Hongyan, you go in first."

"oh."

Chu Hongyan climbed up, being very well-behaved and lively.

Bai Jinyi continued to wipe the sweat off his head...

"That's all for today. Everyone go away. Tomorrow I will continue to seek justice and handle the case at the Jiangnan prefectural government."

Magistrate Li was in tears.

It’s better to break up.

It would be better if it dispersed.

He had been kneeling for two whole days and one night. If he didn't stop, he would die suddenly.

The people knelt on the ground and kowtowed in gratitude, then left one after another, leaving Chongfeng and Jingying to arrange the finishing work.

At this time, a man who looked like a guard came running over:

"Commander Xiao..."

Reported two sentences about something.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yexing glanced at the man who still looked unhappy, and walked forward: "My people reported that Chu Yuanchi is on his way to Linhu Cottage."

Added a sentence:

"I came with a sword."

Chu Di frowned slightly, then relaxed again, "I'm going to have dinner with Xiao Jiu, so please don't disturb me if you are not important."

After saying that, he stood up and walked into the lakeside cottage.

Lu Yunchu raised his sword and said, "He who comes here with a sword must have ill intentions. Since the Regent has spoken, I will go and stop him."

"Brother Lu."

Bai Jinyi stopped him in time, "Why don't we call Miss Qin out? Miss Qin hates evil and hates evil, and she likes to uphold justice in this kind of situation the most."

Lu Yunchu thought it was appropriate.

Xiao Yexing went to call Qin Muyu:

"Come with me to the Jiangnan Prefecture."

Qin Muyu was puzzled: "Isn't it time to have dinner?"

Xiao Yexing said, "We have been working on the case for a whole day and haven't even had a sip of tea. We are really short of manpower now. Come and help me."

"But……"

"If you weren't my nephew, I wouldn't trust you, Mu Yu. We are a family."

"Okay, uncle, I'll go with you."

After a while, when Chu Li led Chu Hongyan into the front hall, a table full of sumptuous food had been set out, but all the chairs were empty. There were only her, Chu Hongyan, and Chu Dichi.

"Where are the family members?"

Where are they all going?

Chu San was serving soup, "Miss, I don't know."

Chuyi brought a basin for washing hands and placed it on the shelf. "Miss, just now I saw General Qin, Miss Qin, and Master Lu all go out. It seems that they are going to do something important."

Chu Dichi rolled up his sleeves and said, "Xiaojiu, let's eat first. We don't need to wait for them."

"Come and wash your hands."

Chu Li responded.

That's it.

They are all in their twenties. They know to eat when they are hungry and to hold an umbrella when it rains. They don’t need to be reminded for every meal.

As soon as she walked over, the man held her hands and soaked them in warm water.

Wash the back of your hands.

Wipe your palms.

That big palm could almost hold her hands, which were thin, small, soft and boneless.

Draw some water and take a towel to wipe it clean.

Chu Hongyan stood nearby. His four-year-old body was only as tall as the water basin. Seeing how kind Grandpa Huang was to Uncle Nine, he couldn't help but think:

The Emperor is such a kind and generous elder.

Seeing that the Ninth Prince had finished washing, he also stretched out his hands.

Huh?

Why did the Emperor grandfather take the ninth uncle to sit down?

He hasn't washed his hands yet.

It must be because he was too short that the Emperor didn't see him.

He must eat well and grow tall!

Chu Hongyan tiptoed on a small stool, washed his hands, and sat on a chair. Seeing the emperor scoop a bowl of soup for the ninth uncle, he also picked up his bowl and handed it over.

But the man acted as if he didn't see it:

"Xiaojiu, I asked Bai Jinyi to add some Chinese medicine to replenish qi and blood in this Baizhen soup. Drink more to strengthen your body."

"This is your favorite steamed whitebait."

"I want to eat some pork liver."

Chu Li shrugged and said, "I don't like eating pig liver."

"Pork liver replenishes blood."

She doesn't like eating any animal organs.

"I don't want to eat."

"OK."

Chu Hongyan sat next to him, holding his empty little bowl in his mouth, looking at Grandpa Huang eagerly.

Why does the Emperor only talk to the Ninth Uncle?

No one paid any attention to him.

He didn't dare to stretch his chopsticks far and only dared to eat the plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes in front of him.

"Yan'er, why don't you pick up some food?"

The Ninth Prince spoke to him!

The young boy's eyes lit up, and he raised his neck, ready to speak. Chu Dichi said, "He just likes to eat potatoes. Xiaojiu, don't learn from him. It's not good to be picky about food. He has to eat a little bit of every dish. Look at how his parents spoiled him."

Chu Li touched his head:

"Being here with Uncle Nine is like being at home. Don't be shy. You can tell me anything you want to say."

Chu Hongyan raised his head happily, and when he met the gleam in the emperor's eyes, he shrank his neck inexplicably and timidly took a mouthful of white rice:

"Understood, Ninth Uncle."

At this time, outside, several maids shouted in surprise:

"You can't go in..."

“What are you doing… Stop… Ah!”

Chu Li turned his head and saw Chu Yuanchi coming with a sword, stabbing Chu Yi who was trying to stop him!

Chuyi's elbow was stained with blood, and his face was full of apology:

"Miss, I can't stop this man, he..."

“Get out of the way!”

Chu Yuanchi shouted loudly, and pointed his bloody sword directly at Chu Li and Chu Dichi in the hall:

"You two have been scheming against each other to usurp the throne, and now you dare to set your sights on Yan'er. Even if I perish with you, I will never let you have the slightest bit of success!"
