Chapter 263 Protecting the Wolves

Shuhong and Qinglu, who were standing by, suddenly changed their expressions when they saw the bruises on Li Sheng's arm. Shuhong turned around and went into the house to get the medicine box without saying a word.

Qinglu was so distressed, "How did this happen? Did it fall?"

Si Linglong studied medicine, so she was more familiar with wound formation. This wound was obviously not caused by a fall, but by a hit! And it was round!

"Who did it?" Si Linglong's voice was unusually cold.

Little Li Sheng didn't understand what was going on. He just shrank back when he saw Si Linglong getting angry, wondering if he had done something wrong.

Seeing the confused and frightened look on the little girl's chubby face, Si Linglong realized that her expression was not good, so she restrained her emotions a little and asked her in a soft voice, "Don't be afraid, tell me, how did this happen?"

Seeing that she was no longer angry, little Li Sheng pouted and whispered, "Eat preserved fruit and throw it at me."

Little Li Sheng still can't speak clearly. He is used to speaking a few words here and there. Even so, Si Linglong roughly guessed what was going on.

"You ate someone's preserved fruit, and the other person threw it at you, right?" Si Linglong asked.

Little Li Sheng nodded immediately.

Qinglu on the side was furious, "Even if he was greedy and ate it secretly, he shouldn't be so cruel, this..."

In other words, parents are generally used to protecting their children.

Si Linglong also understood that Li Sheng was not in the right, but she still had to investigate, so she asked, "Who hit you?"

How could Xiao Li Sheng recognize who that was?

She went there because she smelled something sweet.

She shook her head and said in a confused voice, "I don't know him."

This is very depressing.

She couldn't even find the person to vent her anger on.

Si Linglong was feeling depressed when she heard the eunuch guarding the gate outside come in to report that Miss Zi Yue from Concubine Lian's side had delivered something.

Si Linglong's eyebrows twitched, and she immediately met Qinglu's eyes beside her, and had a vague guess in her heart.

Sure enough, when Zi Yue came in carrying a box of preserved fruits, the two people's guesses were instantly confirmed.

Zi Yue also laughed and said, "My queen said that it's not a big deal for a child to be greedy. Just tell him and he doesn't have to eat secretly. Knowing that the child is temporarily taken in by Concubine Lang Gui, the queen didn't want to blame him, so she asked the servants to bring all the remaining preserved fruits to the child and Concubine Lang Gui to taste together."

He spoke in a generous manner, but his words were clearly ridiculing.

And listen to what is said.

Let her and the child taste it and she said it as if she had never eaten preserved fruit and she was instructing the child to steal hers.

Oh!

Si Linglong was already in a bad mood, and after hearing this, she didn't want to reason with the other party anymore.

She looked at Zi Yue in front of her with clear almond eyes. Her face did not show much expression. After a while, she only slightly raised the corners of her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "Thank you for your kindness, Lady Lian Fei."

After hearing what she said, Zi Yue felt that she had succeeded in getting slapped in the face today, so she smiled and was about to kneel down and leave when she heard Si Linglong's slow instructions,

"Green, throw the things out!"

The tone was heavy and a bit cold, which startled Zi Yue. She suspected that she was hallucinating.

Qinglu, who was standing by, had already been furious after hearing what Si Linglong said. Naturally, she would not give her any face. She picked up the dried fruits on the table and walked out quickly.

Zi Yue was dumbfounded. She didn't know whether to talk to Si Linglong or chase after her. While she was hesitating, she heard a clang outside. It was obvious that something, including the box, had been thrown out.

Zi Yue's face suddenly turned red, obviously she was angry.

"What does Concubine Lang mean?!"

"What do you mean?" Si Linglong stood up suddenly, almost putting her hands on her hips. Her beautiful and delicate face now had a bit of a domineering aura.

"It was wrong for my Li Sheng to eat the preserved fruit from Concubine Lian, but it's not much better for you to hit a child who is less than four years old. You didn't say a word about the child being injured by you, but instead you brought up the fact that she stole the fruit. As an adult, don't you think that's shameful?"

"you……"

"You said that the child stole the preserved fruit from Concubine Lian. Later on, I will personally bring Li Sheng to your house to apologize. But on the other hand, someone in your courtyard injured the child. Then, please give my Li Sheng an explanation."

She admitted what she should admit, but she wanted to use this incident to put the blame on herself.

No way!
