Chapter 293 The World Is Like This

Lei Naner suffered a great loss. Several strands of her hair were pulled out and her face was scratched by the child's nails.

She was so angry that she wanted to kill someone, but she didn't dare to touch her father's baby, so she could only run away in shame.

Mrs. Gui picked up her son, and the child looked like a fighting little rooster, craning his neck to wait for praise.

Mrs. Gui could only praise him: "Luo'er helped his elder sister vent her anger. Luo'er is a good boy."

"But you can't be so rude to others outside."

"You should control your temper and stop smashing things when you are unhappy."

The child listened to the nagging behind him, covered his ears and ran back to his crib.

Mrs. Gui said helplessly: "This child..."

The maid laughed and said, "Madam, you have never had a temper since you were a child, because you have no qualifications to lose your temper."

"It's a good thing that our husband has a temper, it proves that he has never been wronged."

Mrs. Gui smiled gently, "Of course I don't know."

"I'm just worried that our family is spoiling this child too much, especially the general."

"Only Nian'er and I can take care of him. We are really worried that he will be spoiled and become a playboy who is fearless and only knows how to cause trouble."

"Nian'er is the most strict, but this child adores her the most."

As she spoke, Madam Gui looked towards the mess that the maids were cleaning up, where Lei Naner had just sat.

"Fortunately, Luo'er is on her side and supports her sister, otherwise it would be difficult for us to do anything to her."

The maidservant was a little indignant: "Second Lady was wronged by her husband's family before, and she is acting crazy. The general said that we should be more lenient with her."

"Really? It's not us who harmed her. She brought this upon herself."

"Why should we let her go?"

"In the past, the eldest lady was asked to give in to her younger sister, and I never saw her give in to those illegitimate young ladies."

Mrs. Gui was also very angry: "The general is blaming me. Why didn't I help her choose the one when she was choosing? I let her choose randomly."

"If I really helped her, she might think I pushed her into the fire pit on purpose."

"I don't know what's going on with Nian'er..."

Bei Jingchu was released by the Minister of the Central Secretariat with the emperor's order, and Xu Chengzhu was with him.

She took a glance, said nothing, and ran straight to the execution ground to collect the bodies.

Xu Chengxuan took a step forward and Xu Lanqi held his hand.

"Ah, avoid suspicion."

"You don't have the confidence to accompany the son of the rebels to settle down."

"The Xu family cannot be implicated by you. Your Majesty's suspicion is something that your father cannot bear."

Xu Chengzhan opened his lips but said nothing.

Xu Lanqi took him away and returned home.

In the carriage, the old father comforted his depressed son: "Are you blaming Aye?"

Xu Chengzhen shook his head, but buried it even deeper.

Xu Lanqi looked at the street outside through the hollow car window, his eyes slightly empty, which brought back memories deep in his heart.

"It's not that I don't understand your friendship as classmates. Bei Qin is very popular in Hongwenguan. He is very talented and must have many admirers."

"But today, apart from the Crown Prince, no one dares to go to the execution ground to collect the bodies."

“Unless they don’t care about the families they leave behind.”

"It's not that you are heartless, but... that's the way the world is."

He did not turn around to look at his son, but instead looked out the window at the bustle.

The carriage moved slowly. Today's special event had no effect on the bustle on the street, just like when that person left.

He said: "The princes have two study companions, but I am the only one accompanying Your Majesty."
