Chapter 153: Being abandoned after being seduced?
Murong Jueli was silenced again by the scolding, and his big deer-like eyes were open with tears streaming down his face.
Xiao Chenlu pressed his eyebrows and tried again to suppress his temper.
Just bear with it.
The child is only fourteen years old. His sister in heaven would be heartbroken if she was so frightened.
He will not let any of those who harmed his sister go!
"You are in this state. Isn't it Murong Su's doing?"
Murong Jue said sternly, "Murong Su died in my Baixiang Tower. My father thought I was the one who killed him, so he locked me up. Later, my mother was killed, so my father demoted me to a commoner and released me."
Xiao Chenlu was angry: "You're still running a brothel!?"
Murong Jueli hurriedly explained: "No, it's not a brothel! The girls in Baixianglou only sell their art but not their bodies. They are just homeless girls from good families. I have nowhere to go so..."
"You are being used as a pawn!" Xiao Chenlu roared, "What's going on? Explain it to me!"
Murong Jue shuddered and narrated what had happened in a trembling voice.
After hearing this, Xiao Chenlu's face became more sorrowful, but he still tried to suppress it.
"Jue Li, uncle knows that you have been kind since childhood, but you must understand that if you are born into a royal family, you will not be able to survive if you are incompetent and kind-hearted. You will not even be able to protect the people you care about!"
After these words were spoken, Murong Jueli's face turned pale, thinking of his mother's tragic death, Bai Mei's unknown life and death, and the hardships along the way.
He realized that he couldn't continue to be so incompetent. There were some things that he couldn't avoid by not fighting.
After thinking for a while and about to speak, my stomach made an inopportune growl.
Just at this time, the soldiers brought food and clothing.
Xiao Chenlu waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, eat first, and then clean yourself up after you are full."
Then he ordered someone to guard the door, and sent in a bathtub and hot water after a cup of tea, and then left the tent.
Only when he arrived at the camp of Xiao Lao Jiang's army, that is, his father Xiao Aotian, did his eyes become red.
"Father--"
Xiao Aotian is already in his middle age, but because he has practiced martial arts for many years, he has a sturdy build, a full forehead, bright eyes and a sharp gaze. At first glance, he is a veteran who has been on many battles.
Seeing the expression on his youngest son's face, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"What happened?"
Xiao Chenlu took a few deep breaths, walked up to him, and helped him sit on the wooden chair.
"Father, please don't get excited after hearing what I'm going to say next."
Xiao Aotian grabbed the handle of the wooden chair with his big hand and exerted a little force, frowned and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!"
"My eldest sister...died."
Xiao Aotian's eyebrows raised instantly, his eyes widened, and there was disbelief in his eyes.
Then he straightened his body suddenly, and his big hand holding the chair handle suddenly tightened, making a slight "crunching" sound.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me! Who killed your elder sister?"
After Xiao Chenlu told Xiao Aotian everything that Murong Jueli had said, his eyes were already red, with endless hatred mixed in with his grief.
He cursed angrily: "I knew that this tyrant emperor doted on that fox Wen to no end. I tried to persuade your elder sister but failed. She insisted on entering the palace and marrying that tyrant emperor!"
"Later, he became insane and associated with the vixen, serving her like a slave. In the end, he died tragically at her hands..."
"Idiot...idiot!"
Xiao Chenlu: "Father, Jue Li has now been demoted to a commoner. The two concubines Chen and Wen have sent many assassins to hunt down Jue Li in order to eradicate him completely."
"This child suffered a lot on the way. His shoes were snatched away by beggars. He begged barefoot all the way to Suyang City. His feet were worn out."
"This is really too much! You think there is no one in my Xiao family?" Xiao Aotian was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames. "Since this tyrant is so inhuman and unjust, the worst that can happen is that we just rebel!"
Xiao Chenlu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Father, don't worry. If you do that, you will become a traitor. How can Jue Li inherit the throne in the future?"
Xiao Aotian snorted coldly: "No matter how foolish that emperor is, he will not pass the throne to Jue Li..."
"I will pass it on..." Xiao Chenlu sneered: "If Jue Li is the only son of the tyrant monarch, who else should he pass it on to if he doesn't pass it on to Jue Li?"
Xiao Aotian frowned: "Even if only Jue Li is left, don't forget that the tyrant king still has a son held hostage in Dayi."
Xiao Chenlu laughed sarcastically: "Father, have you forgotten how Queen Yue died? That tyrant emperor would never dare to bring Murong Heli back to inherit the throne."
"Even if Murong Heli comes back, I'm afraid he wants to kill that tyrant and Wen Ruohan more than we do."
Xiao Aotian was silent for a moment before he said, "We need to plan this carefully..."
In a blink of an eye, the wound on Xie Lao's buttocks was almost healed. He didn't expect that Shao Siyan's medicine was so effective. As a love rival, he didn't even tamper with the medicine secretly.
If Shao Siyan knew what he was thinking, he would just give him a scornful smile.
He hoped that Xie Lao would recover from his injuries as soon as possible and move out of the princess's mansion as soon as possible.
This way the princess can focus more on herself.
In two days, it will be Qianqiu Festival - Queen Wang's birthday.
I heard that everyone from the royal family to the civil and military officials will attend the Qianqiu Banquet, and it will be quite lively.
For this purpose, Qi Yue specially designed the "dresses" herself, which were couple outfits for the three of them.
She has one set, Shao Siyan has another, and Xie Yun also has another.
Only then did he arrange for people to go down and make it. Gu Qingyu got the news from somewhere and rushed to the princess's mansion.
I have to pester her to get one, otherwise she will not leave.
There was no choice, so in the end the three-person couple's outfit became a four-person outfit.
After Gu Qingyu left the princess's mansion contentedly, he ran over to show off to Xie Yun.
As a result, this matter was heard by Xie Lao who came to look for Xie Yun.
Xie Yun knew that Qi Yue had prepared something for him as well, so he was not jealous at all and was very calm.
But Xie Lao didn't. He was extremely jealous, but because of what he had said before, he couldn't bring himself to do it, and he had no right to look for Qi Yue again.
In the end, he could only return to his yard with a dark face and a very gloomy mood.
Gu Qingyu looked at Xie Lao leaving with a resentful look on his face and asked in confusion, "What happened to your brother? Was he abandoned by the princess?"
Xie Yun almost choked on his tea and said faintly, "Is the princess that kind of person? My brother is just stubborn and wants to torture himself. Don't bother with him."
Gu Qingyu nodded as if he understood...
On the day of the Qianqiu Banquet.
The carriage that Qi Yue was riding in suddenly stopped halfway, and there were sounds of quarreling outside.
After He Xiang went out to investigate, she found out that the carriages of the Grand Tutor's family and the Grand Master's family had accidentally collided, and the servants of the two families were unwilling to give way to each other.
"The dog of the Grand Tutor's family is really different. It is so arrogant even after bumping into someone!"
