Chapter 260 I Won’t Leave
"Lock me?" Hu Shanshan looked at him innocently. "You must have misunderstood. No one is locking me up."
As she spoke, she lifted up her skirt, walked around to the table, and made tea for everyone.
"What are you drinking? Biluochun or Xinyang Maojian?"
Unlike her innocent appearance, Hu Shanshan's movements in making tea are very skillful and graceful, just like a noble lady who has been practicing tea art in a secluded house for many years.
Not only in making tea, but also in her gestures, walking posture, and the consistent distance between each step, everything was very disciplined and strict.
If Xu Chuchu were given these things, he might not be able to learn them clearly even in ten years.
"Then why do you want to live here?" Chen Zhaozhi was so anxious that he almost jumped up.
"I'm going to make pills for your father here. He always says that the pills I make are the best." Hu Shanshan said with a happy look on her face.
"For, for me, my father to make elixirs? What does he need the elixirs for?" Chen Zhaozhi stammered and was almost unable to speak.
Xu Chuchu couldn't bear to listen any longer and stepped forward and said, "Princess Hu, we are sent by your father, the Fox Fairy, to rescue you. Please leave here with us first, and we can talk about the rest later."
"Did father ask you to come? I miss him too." Hu Shanshan was very happy and had no doubts at all, but then she changed the subject and said, "But I can't go back. You should know that. Please tell my father that I'm fine and ask him to take care of himself."
"Why can't we go back? We don't know." Xu Chuchu asked bluntly, "Are you being controlled by someone? Were you poisoned, or was some kind of magical weapon used?"
Hu Shanshan looked at her in astonishment: "My dear girl, once you marry, you must obey your husband. I am already a member of my husband's family. There is no reason for me to leave rashly."
After saying this, she suddenly covered her mouth and said, "Ah, I should call myself a concubine, but I forgot again."
These words made Xu Chuchu dumbfounded, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
She suddenly remembered the murals along the way when she came in. They were all about women's virtues and teachings. Could it be that the emperor brainwashed Hu Shanshan with these things?
Chen Zhaozhi continued, "Mom, those are human rules. We are foxes and don't have to follow them! Besides, there's no rule that prohibits us from returning to our mother's home. Let's go back first and talk about it later."
"No!" Hu Shanshan suddenly pushed Chen Zhaozhi away angrily and said sternly, "Your father said that I can only stay here and can't leave for the rest of my life! If I suddenly disappear, he will definitely be worried!"
The three of them now completely realized that something was wrong. Hu Shanshan was not only simple-minded, but also obedient to the emperor's words and did not dare to disobey in the slightest.
The most important thing is that she is not afraid, but willing from the bottom of her heart.
Chen Zhaozhi trembled as he helped Hu Shanshan sit down. "So, mother, you have never left this place all these years? At the bottom of the lake, in this little room."
"No, but if anything happens, your father will take me out." Hu Shanshan said calmly, "I used to go out to see you once a year, but since you didn't really want to see me, I told your father to forget it and to see you again when you want to in the future."
These words made Chen Zhao blush, but Hu Shanshan didn't blame him at all. She looked at her son with joy and said, "I didn't expect you to be willing to see me so soon."
"But mother, father...have you forgotten all the things the emperor did to you?" Chen Zhaozhi asked anxiously, "When you couldn't use chopsticks, he had the servants beat your hands until you learned. He said you didn't know etiquette and made you recite. When you couldn't read, he made you stand in the yard all night to learn...Have you forgotten all these things?"
Hearing these words, Hu Shanshan lowered her eyes: "I, of course I... remember. But as long as I do well, your father won't punish me. I have refined many pills for him, and he praises me every day. He hasn't blamed me for a long time!"
The words were full of protectiveness.
If this kind of relationship is not abnormal, it would be unworthy of the word abnormal!
Xu Chuchu was furious: "Aren't you a sixth-level fox demon? Hit him! If he hits you, hit him back!"
"Young lady, please be careful with your words." Hu Shanshan turned and looked at her seriously. "A husband is like heaven, and a wife is like earth. How can a wife be violent towards her husband? Don't even speak loudly."
"Why not!" Xiao Yu quickly replied, "My wife can beat and scold me however she wants, really, it's the same outside!"
His expression was so sincere that it frightened Hu Shanshan.
"Let's go, mother! Let's go back first. Don't you believe what your son says?" Chen Zhaozhi was anxious, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
"No... I haven't finished refining this batch of pills yet!" Hu Shanshan said, seeming to relax a little. "How about this, after I finish refining this batch of medicine, I'll give it to your father, and then ask him if he can go back to my mother's home. If he agrees, I'll go with you, okay?"
Everyone wondered how he could possibly agree.
Xu Chuchu felt nauseous. Xiao Yu and Shen Zhaozhi knew the emperor better, and besides feeling nauseous, they also felt complicated.
The emperor seemed to be magnanimous and open-minded, but he actually had a hidden agenda. He used the methods of women's virtues and training to subdue a sixth-level fox demon.
You have to know that this fox demon can tear his throat at any time.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would probably never believe it in their entire lives.
Hu Shanshan...it was unfortunate for her to meet this cunning man when she was a blank slate.
"Never mind anything else, just knock him out and take him away!" Xu Chuchu used his spiritual power.
The opponent is strong, but the three of them can't beat her?!
Xiao Yu immediately cooperated, and even though Chen Zhaozhi was unwilling, he had no choice but to do so. Hu Shanshan was so deeply bewitched that she considered the man who hurt and imprisoned her her husband. It was really hard to convince her, and even a lie was hard to deceive.
Hu Shanshan was frightened when she saw the three people fighting over a disagreement. She stood up and knocked over the teapot.
"What are you doing?" She took a few steps back and subconsciously protected herself.
A pair of fox ears emerged from her head, and a tail... no, several furry white tails stretched out behind her, surging like water plants at the bottom of a lake.
"Nine, Nine-tailed Fox?!" Xu Chuchu was shocked, and then he carefully sensed, "You have reached the seventh level of cultivation?!"
Oh my god, the three of them really can’t beat a nine-tailed fox with the seventh level of cultivation!
"I, I don't want to hurt you either." Hu Shanshan stammered, "Just don't force me, the emperor will really blame me. He's been very good to me, and I don't want to make him sad."
Chen Zhao was so angry that he almost died on the spot: "Mom, please come with us, I will explain it to you slowly when we get back!"
Hu Shanshan remained unmoved. She did not fight back, but the others could do nothing to her.
"Shanshan is very good. My love for you is not in vain."
During the stalemate, a joking male voice came from behind them.
A figure walked out from behind the wooden door, and it was actually the emperor himself!
