Chapter 197 Chapter 197 Surprise
Qin Run looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiao Hengzhi between the layers of bed curtains. Qin Run was immediately delighted and ran away, "Uncle Xiao!"
Xiao Hengzhi was certain he wasn't dreaming. Looking at the handsome and cheerful brother standing beside his bed, he suddenly felt a surge of strength. He sat up with a bang, "Run'er, why are you here?"
The most important thing was why they were still in his room.
"Grandpa Qi is having a birthday, and Xiu Ze and the others took advantage of the academy's field holiday to return to Beijing to attend the banquet. Yun Fan and I came along."
Xiao Heng got out of bed and brought a stool for Qin Run. "Where are An Ge'er and Mu Ge'er? Are they here too?"
"No, the capital is too far away. They can't bear the fatigue of the journey. Uncle Xiao, I'll do it. You are not in good health, so I will do these things." Qin Run took the stool from Xiao Hengzhi's hand, put it beside the bed, and waved to Xu Yunfan to sit down.
When Xu Yunfan went over, he didn't forget to bring a stool with him. He didn't sit down himself, but sat down on the stool Qin Run offered him. He then pulled Qin Run down to sit on the stool he had brought. "Hurry up and sit down. I've got a stool for you. Don't stand. You might get tired."
Xiao Hengzhi: "..."
This guy is a showman.
"How did you get into the palace?"
In response to Xiao Hengzhi's question, Xu Yunfan looked at the roof, the vase, and the teacup. In short, he looked here and there but not at Xiao Hengzhi.
The intention to escape is too obvious, and what is more of it is the feeling of being guilty.
Xiao Hengzhi looked at Qin Run, and Qin Run said generously: "Yun Fan took me to the backyard, dug a dog hole in the corner of the wall, and we came in."
Prince Xiao's mansion was still a prince's mansion after all. Had these guards and secret guards become so useless? They actually allowed two imposters to enter his room openly in the palace.
Xiao Hengzhi didn't speak for a long time and almost couldn't catch his breath.
An adopted son is also a son.
Xu Yunfan was really awesome. He actually dared to bring his children to crawl through a dog hole. Looking at the clothes they wore, they were no different from the servants in the mansion. How could Xiao Hengzhi not understand that Xu Yunfan had made sufficient preparations? With this kid's cleverness, it would be strange if he was discovered.
"Uncle Xiao, does it hurt?" Qin Run's eyes were red, and there was a hint of grievance in his tone. He felt aggrieved that Xiao Hengzhi was in so much pain but had hidden it from him. If Xu Yunfan failed to pass the exam to become a scholar, they would not be able to come to Beijing next year. Wouldn't Xiao Hengzhi be very disappointed? In disappointment, would he not want to persist?
Does Qin Run know that he has been poisoned?
Xiao Heng subconsciously looked at Xu Yunfan.
No, what does Xiao Hengzhi's look mean? Xu Yunfan was confused by the look, "Why are you looking at me? I don't know anything and I didn't say anything."
"It's not Yunfan who said it, but I just know it. Uncle Xiao, you've been poisoned. The poison attacks you every month. Are you in pain?"
Xiao Hengzhi was speechless for a moment. He wanted to say that it didn't hurt, but that was too much of a lie. After all, every time the poison took effect, he howled like a wolf in the middle of the night, scaring the servants so much that they couldn't sleep. As for saying it hurt, he couldn't bear to see Qin Run sad, and it would be embarrassing to say that.
Xu Yunfan decided to play deaf and dumb, turning a deaf ear to what was happening outside the window and ignoring everything. He didn't know what Qin Run and Xiao Hengzhi were talking about, as both of them looked like they were about to cry.
Ouch, Xu Yunfan was so distressed that he asked Qin Run to go out and calm down. Xiao Hengzhi's health was not good and his emotions could not fluctuate too much. After some persuasion, Qin Run closed the door and went out to stand.
"Something happened." Xiao Hengzhi could tell that Xu Yunfan had deliberately sent Qin Run out.
"certainly."
Xu Yunfan stared at Xiao Hengzhi without blinking, not missing any expression on his face. He said directly, "Actually, I've been very interested in medicine recently. I'm very curious about your health. Uncle Xiao, you see, we're family now. Can you let me take your pulse to satisfy my curiosity?"
Xiao Hengzhi rolled his eyes at Xu Yunfan. He knew the fickleness of young people, who were interested in this and that at different times. But considering that this was his son-in-law, he extended his hand indifferently, as a way of thanking Xu Yunfan for bringing Qin Run to see him.
From the beginning to the end, Xiao Hengzhi didn't believe that Xu Yunfan could find out anything. After all, his poison was not simple and not every doctor could diagnose it.
Xu Yunfan took the pulse and when he withdrew his hand, he avoided talking about the pulse and only asked, "What is the relationship between Uncle Xiao and General Qin Feiyu?"
Seeing that Xu Yun changed the subject, Xiao Hengzhi guessed that he was probably not even half-baked, so he did not ask any further questions, just to save face for the young man, but his mind was thinking about other things.
What is his relationship with Qin Feiyu?
The inexplicable question made Xiao Hengzhi feel an inexplicable emotion.
"What relationship could there be between us?" Xiao Hengzhi flatly denied the fact that he and Qin Feiyu had ever had a relationship. Now, the fewer people who knew about those things, the better. After all, Qin Feiyu was about to get married, and it would be bad if any rumors came out.
Xu Yunfan seemed to believe it, but also seemed not to. "Oh, that's strange. After coming to Dayan Dynasty, I have really opened my eyes. Do you think a girl can get pregnant without a man? If so, then I can only say that I am ignorant."
"What do you mean?" If Xiao Hengzhi still couldn't tell that Xu Yunfan knew that Qin Feiyu was pregnant, he would have no use being a prince.
But how could Xu Yunfan know these things?
What was his intention in telling me this?
Qin Feiyu is about to get married!
There are so many people in the world, and it is not easy to meet someone you want to marry and spend your life with. At this critical juncture, no bad news about Qin Feiyu can be spread.
Xiao Hengzhi suddenly became anxious, "What on earth do you know? I advise you to tell me everything, otherwise, I don't mind worrying about finding another good husband for Run Ge'er."
At this moment, the sense of oppression on Xiao Hengzhi's body was stronger than ever before. Facts proved that his gentleness towards Qin Run was just a deliberate illusion.
At this moment, the person in front of him is the real king of a different surname.
If it were anyone else, they would have knelt down long ago under Xiao Hengzhi's intimidating presence. However, Xu Yunfan was no ordinary man. Instead, he tutted his tongue with great interest. "Is this the aura of a prince? There's something here. What do you want to know? Since you want me to tell you everything I know, shouldn't Uncle Xiao be a little more polite to me? Don't forget, I'm Run'er's husband. If you have the guts, find him someone prettier and more handsome than me. If you can't find a better man than me, then I might as well advise you to be a little more polite to me for Run'er's sake. You're my Uncle Xiao, and we're family after all. I'm a soft-spoken person, and if you try to be tough with me, I'm afraid you don't know what it means to keep your mouth shut."
This is clearly a threat and a warning.
Xiao Heng was so angry that he even forgot the pain.
Wow, I’ve lived for over thirty years, and this is the first time I’ve seen someone so bold.
Xiao Hengzhi glanced at Xu Yunfan and felt a pang of pain in his teeth.
Damn it, Xu Yunfan was right about one thing. Where could he find a man more handsome than Xu Yunfan?
You won’t find it even if you dream about it.
Xiao Hengzhi was a man who knew the current situation. "Okay, I was impulsive and said too much. Don't take it to heart. Those were just words spoken in anger.
”
Xu Yunfan said lightly, as if to be considerate: "I understand, I understand. After all, she was your ex-lover. Speaking of which, Uncle Xiao, you are still nostalgic."
This time, Xiao Hengzhi was really frightened, "Who do you say is having an affair with him?"
That's impossible. It happened more than ten years ago. Xu Yunfan is so young. How could he know those things?
If he knew, did it mean that others knew too?
"I won't say anything else. I just want to ask, what is Uncle Xiao's relationship with General Qin? If I remember correctly, Uncle Xiao told me in the village before that your sweetheart aborted your child. Are you sure this is true?"
"Why not?" Xiao Hengzhi was already being led astray by Xu Yunfan's questions. Recalling what happened back then, even though more than ten years had passed, Xiao Hengzhi still couldn't help but tremble. "He said this himself. He told me this himself. How could it be false? Xu Yunfan, he has no reason to lie to me, let alone use this matter to lie to me."
"That's hard to say." Xu Yunfan discovered that there were many misunderstandings between Xiao Hengzhi and Qin Feiyu. He really couldn't understand it. They were not mute and both had a mouth, so why couldn't they communicate well?
Look, not saying anything has led to this situation.
Xiao Hengzhi said angrily: "You kid, why are you so irritating today? You are so ambiguous. If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Xu Yunfan's tone was so calm that it seemed as if he was talking about an insignificant family matter: "I went to the Qin family, the General Qin's residence, and beat up Jing Yeze, General Qin Feiyu's fiancé."
Xiao Hengzhi: "...There's no need to emphasize this."
Xiao Hengzhi realized it belatedly, "Huh? No, you've only been in Beijing for a short time, how come you beat up Jing Ye Ze? Didn't Qin Feiyu deal with you? Aren't you a little too troublesome?"
After asking three questions in a row, and still not being able to answer all of Xiao Hengzhi's questions, Xu Yunfan directly said, "I just glanced at General Qin for a second longer, and he actually put his gun to my forehead."
Xu Yunfan used his index finger and thumb to create a barely perceptible gap. "It was just this close. If General Qin hadn't spoken out in time to stop me, my face, which looks so irritating, would have been disfigured."
"He's such a traitor, what a bastard! He really thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he's with Qin Feiyu? If he dares to touch my people, I'll take his last name even if I can't kill him."
"We must deal with him. Jing Ye Ze, I find him annoying the moment I see him. I guess he is not a good person." Xu Yunfan knows how to control people. He knows at a glance that Xiao Hengzhi doesn't like Jing Ye Ze. If he wants to please his father-in-law, he doesn't need to do anything else but stand on the same front with him.
Xu Yunfan's words deeply resonated with Xiao Hengzhi, who echoed, "You don't like him either. Hey, he's worthy of being my brother-in-law. We are truly in tune with each other."
"Who says it's not? We are all from the same family. We even hate the same people."
"That's right." At this moment, Xu Yunfan was Xiao Hengzhi's biological son.
etc!
Xiao Hengzhi was almost led astray, "You haven't explained yourself clearly yet, what are you doing going to Qin Feiyu? Are you itching for trouble? He's a general, he can easily beat up two of you."
Back then, Qin Feiyu had pursued him fiercely, but it made Xiao Hengzhi very distressed. Facing Qin Feiyu's relentless pursuit, as they were of equal status, Xiao Hengzhi could only stay away from him. However, he didn't expect that Qin Feiyu was really different from the other guys. Not only would he squat on the wall of his house in the middle of the night and tell the secret guards that he wanted to find him, but sometimes he even wanted to break into his room.
Xiao Hengzhi was terrified, fearing that Qin Feiyu would do something reckless and force himself on him. What should he do?
As a prince who is both civil and military, why would Xiao Hengzhi be afraid?
It's not that he is not as good as others in martial arts. With Qin Feiyu's ruthlessness in killing enemies in battle, he can easily beat two of them.
Xiao Hengzhi wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, "Are you not afraid of death? If you are not afraid of death, I am afraid that Runge'er will become a widower at such a young age."
Xu Yunfan said shamelessly, "Uncle Xiao, who are you looking down on? It's just Jing Yeze. I beat him down to the ground in just a few moves. I don't know what General Qin likes about him. Is it because he's so weak and annoying?"
Xiao Hengzhi: "...weak and fragile? You're quite arrogant, but it's true that he's annoying. However, no matter how annoying he is, you might not see him many times in the future. Who do you care who the general is going to marry?"
"At first, I really didn't intend to do anything, but what can I do? After all, that man is so annoying. If he really becomes my father-in-law, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my fists from now on. How can a father-in-law and a son-in-law fight on the first day they meet? It wouldn't sound good if it got out. However, I didn't expect that everything I worried about was overthinking."
"Father-in-law? What do you mean?"
Xiao Hengzhi's pupils shrank. Considering what Xu Yunfan had just said, Xiao Hengzhi vaguely glimpsed the truth. Realizing what he was thinking, he subconsciously discarded that bit of truth. How could it be possible?
Was he so confused by the pain that he started to have wild thoughts? He could actually think of such unrealistic things.
But Xu Yunfan's words clearly told him that any smart person would probably know what he meant.
Xu Yunfan: "They all say that Run'er and General Qin are 80% similar. Are there really people in the world who look so similar? Of course there are, but Run'er told me that he can't remember clearly what happened before he was ten, but he remembers some things. He said that he lived in a big place and practiced calligraphy every day... I thought a lot about it, so I followed my brothers back to Beijing. After I drew General Qin... So, their father-son relationship is undeniable. But what I didn't expect was that General Qin was going to get married. Run'er no longer has a little daddy, so I thought, doesn't he still have you?"
Xu Yunfan's words successfully made Xiao Hengzhi stunned on the spot. At that moment, Xiao Hengzhi felt as if a huge surprise had come crashing down on him, making him dizzy and unable to react in time for a long time. The child he loved so much turned out to be his own child. Such a surprise was enough to shock his eyes and he almost fainted.
In front of Xu Yunfan, Xiao Hengzhi couldn't lose face as his father-in-law, so he endured it.
But the huge unexpected surprise forced Xiao Hengzhi's broken body to be unable to bear it. Xiao Hengzhi chuckled twice, his breathing became heavier, his whole body shook violently, and cold sweat dripped down.
Seeing this, Xu Yunfan was startled and ran over quickly, "Uncle Xiao, are you okay? Don't scare me. If you... Run Ge'er and I will be finished. You better do your best."
"You...if you say less, I will be fine." Xiao Hengzhi rolled his eyes at Xu Yunfan and spoke intermittently, wondering why this kid spoke so annoyingly.
