Chapter 148 Investigation
The more businesslike she was, the more dissatisfied Xiao Jue became, and the more his anger flared up.
He suddenly grabbed Xie Qingran's wrist and, with a forceful pull, dragged her onto his lap.
Xiao Jue's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he hooked her chin and looked at her: "Is that all you've told me?"
What else is there?
Xie Qingran could clearly sense Xiao Jue's anger, but she really couldn't understand where this anger came from.
Could it be that he has some kind of dissatisfaction with her?
Xie Qingran hesitated for a moment, then tried to stand up, but Xiao Jue's hands were like iron clamps, and she was no match for him. She could only obediently sit on Xiao Jue's lap.
She just didn't know what material Xiao Jue's belt was made of, because it was digging into her sorely.
"Your Highness, is there anything wrong with my arrangement?"
Xie Qingran blinked her big eyes and looked at Xiao Jue with an innocent expression.
Xiao Jue took a deep breath and suddenly realized that Xie Qingran seemed to be completely oblivious. After feeling the changes in his body, he blushed instantly.
Pushing Xie Qingran off his lap, Xiao Jue spun his wheelchair back a step, frowning as he looked at her: "You've done very well."
"Then, does the young master have any other complaints?"
Xie Qingran stared at Xiao Jue, puzzled, wondering why he had suddenly become so capricious.
Xiao Jue was slow to realize the grievance in Xie Qingran's eyes.
What's wrong with him?
"I have no complaints."
"You are very good."
Xiao Jue touched his nose and finally realized that the problem wasn't with Xie Qingran at all, but with himself!
"Is Your Highness tired? Why don't you let Hongshan come over and help you rest?"
Xie Qingran tentatively spoke.
However, Xiao Jue snorted: "You are my Crown Princess, why do you always have to be served by others?"
Xie Qingran's unwillingness to serve Xiao Jue wasn't because she disliked him; it was mainly because she was afraid of accidentally hurting his feelings.
Seeing Xiao Jue like this, Xie Qingran didn't say anything else. Instead, she walked forward with a good temper and began to undress Xiao Jue.
She was small and thin, but she was very strong. She could move Xiao Jue without any effort or difficulty.
Xiao Jue stared at Xie Qingran the whole time. He could see clearly that there was helplessness and heartache in Xie Qingran's eyes, but not a trace of disgust.
This softened Xiao Jue's heart little by little.
Xie Qingran's hand grabbed Xiao Jue's underpants.
"do what!"
Xiao Jue almost instinctively grabbed Xie Qingran's hand, frowning as he looked at her, like a young wife who had been violated.
Xie Qingran paused for a moment, then calmly replied, "Serving the young master while he bathes and rests. How can he bathe without taking off his clothes?"
"Get out, let Redwood in!"
Xiao Jue awkwardly turned his face away, his voice becoming somewhat rough.
What on earth is going on?
Xie Qingran felt that Xiao Jue was being completely unreasonable and inexplicable tonight!
He was the one who made her serve him, but now she's the one kicking him out!
Goodness, she's gone just like that, saving herself a lot of trouble!
Xie Qingran didn't say anything more, turned around and strode outside. After going out, she rolled her eyes at Hongshan: "Your young master is calling you!"
These words clearly contained resentment, so Sequoia didn't dare to delay and hurriedly turned around and went inside.
Seeing Xiao Jue sitting in the wheelchair with a flushed face, Hong Shan paused for a moment, then strode forward and reached out to unzip his pants, accidentally touching...
"Your Highness... I didn't mean to."
Hongshan now finally understood why Xiao Jue's expression was so unpleasant.
Seeing this, Xiao Jue punched Hong Shan directly: "Go prepare hot water!"
He gritted his teeth, feeling that he was becoming more and more useless.
Hongshan glanced at Xiao Jue, then said with a smile, "Young Master, we're all men, why are you so concerned about this? The divine physician said your fertility is still very good, so... how about we have some children for our Duke's mansion?"
"roll!"
Xiao Jue's expression immediately changed, and he glared fiercely at Hong Shan.
Now, Sequoia dared not laugh anymore, so she could only silently shut her mouth, turn around and walk outside, and soon returned with hot water.
Xiao Jue had already stripped himself naked and walked directly into the bathtub.
Back then, he was only paralyzed for a short period of time and recovered quickly. In order to protect his younger siblings, Xiao Jue has been enduring all these years, playing the role of a useless person in front of outsiders.
Hongshan sighed as she looked at Xiao Jue: "Young Master, when will this end? When will you be able to live a normal life again?"
"The Crown Princess... she's quite pitiful." Hongshan felt that Xie Qingran was now family after marrying into the family, but Xiao Jue kept everything from her and said nothing.
Xiao Jue gave Hong Shan a cold look and said, "The Consort is now eyeing us covetously, and the Sixth Prince is gaining even more influence. The Emperor is suspicious, the Empress can't hold on, and the Fifth Prince is insignificant. We can only bide our time now. For Xie Qingran, knowing nothing is the safest option."
Not only is Xie Qingran safe, but he and the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion are also safe.
If he were just an ordinary person, he could naturally live a life of mutual affection with the woman he loves. But there are tens of thousands of wronged souls waiting for him, and his father, brothers, and mother are all waiting for him. He cannot forget the hatred of his entire family for the sake of his own love!
Seeing Xiao Jue secretly clenching his fists underwater, Hong Shan felt a pang of sadness. He sighed, "Young Master, the Duke and Madam love you so much. If they saw you like this, how heartbroken they would be."
"It's not me who's pitiful, it's A-Yu, it's Yanran, it's A-Jin!"
“They are all still young, they shouldn’t be living like this.”
Xiao Jue quickly regained his composure, coldly squinting his eyes as he immersed himself in the bucket of water. The warm water covered his mouth and nose, and the feeling of suffocation overwhelmed him. Only in this way could Xiao Jue force himself to calm down.
Only in this way could Xiao Jue truly feel that he was alive.
Lotus Garden.
Xie Qingran came to tell Xiao Yanran a story to lull her to sleep, but then she heard crying from the next room.
Xiao Yanran opened her eyes: "Sister Xie, what happened to my brother?"
"It's nothing, he's just handling some things," Xie Qingran smiled.
She knew that Xiao Yu must have discovered the problem with the ledger and also knew where the gold beans had gone, so he was investigating the matter.
