Chapter 201 Chapter 201 Do you know why I hit you twice...
How could these short-sighted people have the long-term vision that Fu Qingyu possess? The existence of the Xiao family is undoubtedly a deterrent to those people in the neighboring countries who are eyeing them covetously. Besides, is Fu Qingyu the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity?
People protected this territory for him, but in the end they still have to be feared by him?
We should be conscientious in life.
When Xiao Hengzhi was assassinated, Fu Qingyu felt as if his face was slapped. It seemed as if these people were mocking his might. Look, the pillar of your Great Yan Dynasty was assassinated right under your nose. Your Great Yan Dynasty is nothing.
After failing to track down the murderer, Fu Qingyu was furious and no longer trusted the secret guards of Prince Xiao's Mansion, so he sent his own secret guards over directly.
The one who was sent to protect Xiao Hengzhi was Fu Ba. When he arrived at Prince Xiao's mansion, he became Xiao Hengzhi's man, and that's when his name was changed to Xiao Ba.
Xiao Ba: "My master sent me to protect that kid. Speaking of which, that aura that night was you, right? If you hadn't reacted quickly, you would have been captured by my superiors."
The reason why Fu Liu didn't dare to break into Prince Xiao's Mansion that night was, firstly, that he was the emperor's man. Even if the emperor and the Xiao family were not as rumored outside, there still had to be a boundary. Secondly, there were also secret guards of Prince Xiao's Mansion, and some of them were much stronger than him. If he was discovered by them, he would probably have to stay in the prison of Prince Xiao's Mansion.
"They noticed me, but why didn't they notice Master Xu and the others?"
If it weren't for the inconvenience of making a sound, Xiao Ba would have scolded Fu Liu, "Why are you still as... naive as before? Do you think we didn't notice them?"
No, they had noticed, but they weren't sure what the two sneaky guys were up to, so they could only wait.
Fortunately, they waited. If they hadn't, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to "hide" here.
The two of them were doing two things at once, "protecting" people while slacking off.
Xu Yunfan hadn't eaten much when he sat down when he noticed that the way others looked at him seemed a little strange. "What's going on? Why are they looking at me like that?"
There is regret, disdain, and contempt...
Qi Xiu Ze: "They all know that you're a live-in son-in-law, so they think you're a gigolo."
Xu Yunfan was stunned. "No, I've only been out for a short time. Are these people that powerful? They've stripped me down to my underwear in such a short time? What's wrong with me being a gigolo? With my face, I'm destined to be a gigolo. They want to be a gigolo, but they can't. Run Ge'er is willing to pamper me and indulge me. They don't like me because they are purely jealous and envious."
Qin Run chuckled softly. He knew that Xu Yunfan could not be easily hurt by other people's words or prejudiced looks, because Xu Yunfan was used to comforting himself.
"Haha..." Qi Xiu Ze and others laughed out loud.
They were talking and laughing here, but the atmosphere on the other side was much more depressing.
Something happened in Prince Xiao's Mansion. This is something that everyone in the capital knows. It is said that in the past two nights, countless doctors and imperial physicians came in and out of Prince Xiao's Mansion. Even today, doctors are still coming out of the palace.
"This Prince Xiao is most likely..."
"It's been two days, and the doctor has been in and out. What's going on in there?"
"Who knows? It's hard to say, but I heard that Prince Xiao vomited blood."
"Ah! Vomiting blood? What happened?"
Whether he was out or at home, Qin Feiyu would inevitably hear something about Xiao Hengzhi.
When Qin Feiyu learned that something had happened to Xiao Hengzhi, he couldn't sit still. He wanted to find Xiao Hengzhi. He really wanted to see him. He didn't know why, but at this moment, he urgently wanted to see Xiao Hengzhi.
Such an inexplicable impulse made Qin Feiyu deeply uneasy. He was afraid that if he didn't go, would he never see Xiao Hengzhi again in this life?
if……
He will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
Qin Feiyu wanted to go, but Jing Yezhe seemed to have discovered something and kept finding excuses to follow him, never leaving his side.
Xiao Hengzhi, with a pale face, sat leaning against the head of the bed, listening to the secret guard's report. He was exhausted for a while, and perhaps he had accumulated enough strength, so he spoke lightly, "Go tell Qin Feiyu that I want to see him. If he doesn't come, I will not let him go even if I become a ghost. Jing Yeze must die."
Since Qin Feiyu cares so much about Jing Yezhe, it’s right to use Jing Yezhe to threaten others.
Although Jing Ye Ze stayed in the Qin family, Qin Feiyu would never let him or anyone else step into the front yard at night.
"General..." Jing Yezhe could see that something was wrong with Qin Feiyu recently. He felt vaguely uneasy. There was a voice telling him that if he didn't think highly of him, Qin Feiyu would no longer belong to him.
Although he had never gotten Qin Feiyu, they were going to get married. From then on, this person would be his, Jing Yeze's, husband, and he would also be labeled as Jing Yeze's husband.
Before Jing Yeze could finish, Qin Feiyu irritably scolded him, "Deputy General Jing, please understand your position. Considering what happened back then, I have already given you a lot of face."
So, don't be too greedy, otherwise, people who are too greedy will end up with nothing.
Faced with Qin Feiyu's special reminder, Jing Yeze put back a lot of words he wanted to say. Before leaving, he couldn't help but say, "General, I have admired you for a long time. For you, as you have seen, I am willing to sacrifice my life. We are about to get married. This is what I have waited for so long, and it is also what you promised me personally. I hope you can give me a chance to take care of you and love you, and don't let me be ridiculed and end up with regrets."
Jing Yezhe's words struck Qin Feiyu's heart, like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing his eagerness to see Xiao Hengzhi and calming him down completely.
Qin Feiyu staggered back two steps, and until Jing Yezhe left, he still stood in front of the window in a daze.
"General Qin." Qin Feiyu didn't even notice Xiao Yi coming.
"Xiao Yi?" Qin Feiyu knew the people around Xiao Hengzhi. When they met secretly every night, Xiao Hengzhi shamelessly ordered these secret guards to keep an eye on him.
Xiao Yi: "General Qin, my prince wants you to come over."
"He's looking for me?" Qin Feiyu seemed unconvinced, but when he mentioned Xiao Hengzhi, his lifeless eyes became more lively, a bit brighter than before, as if he had thought of something. The light quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared. "I'm sorry, I..."
That's ridiculous.
The person he wanted to see but couldn't before, now he has the chance, but he refuses it in person.
Xiao Yi knew that the words after the word "I'm sorry" were mostly words of rejection. "My prince said that if General Qin doesn't go to see him, he will die with his eyes open. After he dies, we will kill Jing Ye Ze."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feiyu automatically ignored the threatening sentence at the end. All he could hear in his mind was the first sentence.
The thought of Xiao Hengzhi's death drained away Qin Feiyu's strength, and his legs softened. If he hadn't held onto the window with one hand, he would have fallen to the ground. "What did you say?"
In the end, Qin Feiyu ignored Jing Yezhe's implicit hints.
At this moment, compared with Xiao Hengzhi, Jing Ye Ze is nothing.
Back then on the battlefield, if he hadn't suddenly launched an attack in advance, he would have been almost injured. It was Jing Ye who risked his life to save him and the child in his womb.
It was also because of that labor that his child was born prematurely. The premature baby was smaller than a kitten. The baby had only been in his belly for seven months and was too small. When Qin Feiyu saw the child, he cried silently for a long time. He was scared, distressed, and felt helpless.
He was afraid that such a small child, so small that even the blood vessels on the body were clearly visible, would not be able to survive in such a harsh environment. After listening to the suggestions from Zhang Jing and others, Qin Feiyu used cow's milk, goat's milk, and horse's milk in turn. Even when the child was three years old, Qin Feiyu still fed the child all kinds of milk.
Qin Feiyu was grateful that Jing Yezhe saved his and his child's lives. He would remember this favor for the rest of his life and had also promised Jing Yezhe a request.
But no one could have imagined that Jing Ye Ze, who had said it was a piece of cake and that as a subordinate he should protect the general, would ask him to fulfill his promise more than ten years later.
Qin Feiyu was caught in a dilemma. Under the multiple blows of his parents' urging to get married, his son's disappearance, and Xiao Hengzhi's avoidance of him, Qin Feiyu gave up and thought, let it be, this is how his life will be, he can no longer struggle, and has to accept his fate.
On the way to the palace, Qin Feiyu's mind was full of past events. He had imagined many possibilities with Xiao Hengzhi after returning to Beijing, but he never thought that one day, there would be no Xiao Hengzhi in this world. Xiao Hengzhi would come and go, and his existence would soon disappear from people's memory. Everything about him would be slowly forgotten by people until no one knew that there was a Xiao Hengzhi in the world. He had never thought of all this, but when Xiao Yi said, Xiao Hengzhi... Qin Feiyu's soul had already left his body and flew to see Xiao Hengzhi, so that he was in a daze and didn't know what day it was.
Qin Feiyu entered Xiao Hengzhi's room like a dazed soul. Hearing Xiao Hengzhi's words, Xiao's father, Xiao's mother and other members of the Xiao family wiped their tears with shaking hands. Since their son/uncle's last wish was to meet Qin Feiyu, they had to grit their teeth and endure it even if they were not welcome. Otherwise, Qin Feiyu would be beaten out with sticks the moment he stepped into the gate of the Xiao Mansion.
The person on the bed had a face as white as snow, without a trace of blood. A few strands of black hair hung down on his chest, making Xiao Hengzhi look even paler. He was so pale that Qin Feiyu's breathing stopped for a moment.
Xiao Hengzhi, who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, knew that Qin Feiyu had arrived, and then he opened his eyes. There was no warmth in his eyes, only cold and undisguised hatred.
Xiao Hengzhi looked at Qin Feiyu who was standing not far away and said sarcastically, "Why, seeing me like this now, are you scared? Are you scared now? Didn't you rush to chase me in the beginning? Now seeing me like this, what are you afraid of? But you should be afraid, because I will never let you off even if I die. Qin Feiyu, it was you who provoked me first. It's too late for you to be scared now, and there's no use regretting it. Haha, seeing you so scared that you dare not come close, it makes me feel so good!"
Qin Feiyu: "..."
Is he afraid of Xiao Hengzhi's current appearance that is neither human nor ghost?
This was obviously not what he was afraid of. He was afraid that Xiao Hengzhi would leave. He was so scared that his head was blank and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
He was also afraid that tears would flow before he could speak.
If Xu Yunfan were here, he would probably comfort Qin Feiyu, "Don't be afraid, he can still talk so much, there's a high probability that he won't die. Some people die because they talk too much, but that depends on the situation."
"Come here." After saying so much, Qin Feiyu was still "indifferent"?
This damn brother.
When you like him, you treat him like a treasure, but when you don’t like him anymore, his words mean nothing.
Xiao Hengzhi was so angry that his teeth were itching. When Qin Feiyu reacted and approached, Xiao Hengzhi changed his previous weak attitude, sat up directly, and slapped him in the face.
Qin Feiyu was stunned by the beating. He tilted his head, unable to understand why Xiao Hengzhi hated him so much that he attacked him personally.
He had clearly lied back then and executed people first and then asked for troops to go to war, but Xiao Hengzhi was not so angry.
Before he turned his head, Xiao Hengzhi slapped him again.
After slapping Qin Feiyu twice, Xiao Heng felt more relaxed. He asked the still confused Qin Feiyu, "Do you know why I slapped you twice?"
Qin Feiyu shook his head honestly, puzzled.
After being slapped twice, if anyone else dared to hit him like that, their heads would have been chopped off by now. The two of them knew why Xiao Hengzhi was still fine.
"have no idea?"
"What a clueless person, Qin Feiyu, are you trying to piss me off to death?"
"Are you going to let me...even if I'm like this, you still won't tell me?"
Xiao Hengzhi's sudden questioning made Qin Feiyu, who was already in a state of extreme daze and anxiety, feel like his brain was a mess.
He didn't want to think about anything or say anything now. He just wanted to look at Xiao Hengzhi carefully. No matter whether it was the Xiao Hengzhi of the past or the Xiao Hengzhi of the present, he didn't want to forget what they looked like.
Seeing Qin Feiyu silent, Xiao Hengzhi was almost angry enough to vomit blood, but now he had no blood to vomit, otherwise he would die. Xiao Hengzhi didn't want to die at all.
"The first slap I gave you was because you hid it from me. You said you beat the child, but you didn't. Qin Feiyu, how crazy are you? Or are you afraid that I'll have a good life? How can you... that would kill you? Have you ever thought about what I would do if you really died? Ah! What do you want me to do? Do you want me to accompany you?"
"The second slap, I hit you because you are stubborn and still lied to me. Do you really like lying? My child, why did you hurt him like that? Did he provoke you? Or did I provoke you?"
Xiao Hengzhi's words struck at Qin Feiyu's remaining sanity again and again. As Xiao Hengzhi finished his words, Qin Feiyu felt as if someone had grabbed his heart, and he was so depressed that he could hardly breathe.
Qin Feiyu's eyes widened to a terrifying degree. He trembled and asked in disbelief: "What did you say? Hengzhi, what are you talking about? Child, what child..."
“Bang!”
very good.
Before he could finish his words, Qin Feiyu was slapped again.
It's strange. After being slapped three times, how thick-skinned must this person be that he didn't feel any pain at all?
Qin Feiyu didn't feel any pain, but Xiao Hengzhi did.
He felt distressed.
Beating Qin Feiyu with his own hands made Xiao Hengzhi, who had no violent tendencies, feel distressed.
But he was too angry. If he didn't beat this guy, he wouldn't learn his lesson. "How long are you going to lie to me? Child, what child, what kind of child can it be?"
Whether it was out of anger or some other reason, Xiao Hengzhi's eyes were red, misty and tearful. He just stared at Qin Feiyu like that, with unspeakable disappointment, grief, and hurt in his eyes...
Qin Feiyu saw it clearly and vividly. The light in Xiao Hengzhi's eyes dimmed. There was no longer the tenderness and affection he remembered when he looked at him in the past. Instead, it was so cold and calm that it was almost scary.
Qin Feiyu's face was so clear in his eyes, and then gradually became blurred.
After staring at each other for a long time, the sense of loss in Xiao Hengzhi's chest almost burst out of his body. He felt the soreness in his eyes for the first time in a long time, and the tears gathered into drops. His lower eyelashes couldn't bear the burden and shook them off, dripping onto his handsome face.
He used force and poked Qin Feiyu's abdomen, "What child? It's naturally the child from you, my child, Qin Feiyu. What you did is wrong. You can take revenge on me for my mistakes. The child is innocent. What does he know? He didn't do anything. Why did you do this? If not... would I never know the existence of the child? You are so vicious. I have done something wrong to meet a brother like you. I won't say that I have a miserable life, but I don't know people well. The first time I fell in love, I met a scumbag like you. I can endure it, but I am really angry about the child."
Qin Feiyu's brain was buzzing. All of a sudden, he had a lot of things to say, such as how did Xiao Hengzhi know about the child?
He knew about the child. Did he see the child, or did someone see his child?
There were so many questions that Qin Feiyu didn't know where to start.
He staggered to the side of Xiao Hengzhi's bed, and regardless of Xiao Hengzhi's objection, he held Xiao Hengzhi tightly in his arms, venting all the grievances that he had suppressed for a long time and endured for many years.
Xiao Hengzhi was also feeling bad. He didn't struggle and silently let Qin Feiyu hold him, stroking Qin Feiyu's back with one hand. "Why did you ignore me back then? You didn't even come to see me when I was dying. Why didn't you tell me about the child later?"
"I don't know." Qin Feiyu buried her head in Xiao Hengzhi's arms and cried silently, "I don't know. I really didn't know that you were poisoned that night. No one told me. It's not that I didn't tell you about the child. It's you who said you didn't want me or the child anymore. I wrote to you asking you to bring the child back to Beijing. The conditions there are not good, and the child was born prematurely. I was very scared. I wrote to you asking you to take the child back to Beijing to take care of him, but you said you didn't want us anymore. Later, I lost the child, and I..."
"What?"
Qin Feiyu's words almost made Xiao Hengzhi spit out blood again. Even if he was about to die, he would sit up in shock and say, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? I'm heartless and don't want you and the child. Why didn't I receive any of the letters you wrote to me?"
This time, it was Qin Feiyu's turn to be dumbfounded.
Qin Feiyu came out of Xiao Hengzhi's arms, tilted his head and looked into Xiao Hengzhi's eyes.
On the other hand, after learning that Xu Yunfan was a son-in-law, almost no one paid attention to him anymore. Xu Yunfan didn't care what others thought of him. A table full of Manchu and Han banquets was not enough for him to look at or something. He was too busy feeding Qin Run to care about anything, so why would he look at the fish? "Run'er, this fish is delicious, try it."
Xu Yunfan picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, carefully picked out the fish bones before putting it into Qin Run's bowl.
Lin Xiaoran: "This is sea fish. Although it has a strong fishy smell, it tastes very delicious."
Qin Run took a bite and found that the fish tasted really good as Lin Xiaoran said. Qin Run picked up another piece, but he didn't eat it for himself. Instead, he put it in Xu Yunfan's bowl.
Xu Yunfan picked up a piece of chicken. Because it was boiled chicken, the skin on the chicken was golden yellow, and you could tell at a glance that it tasted good.
But Xu Yunfan still felt that it was a bit fat. He put the chicken in the empty bowl in front of Qin Run. Without him saying anything, Qin Run consciously peeled off the chicken skin, picked up the chicken, dipped it in the sauce, and then put it in Xu Yunfan's bowl.
In fact, he had wanted to do these things for Xu Yunfan just now, but he was worried that his consideration would embarrass Xu Yunfan, after all, this was in public.
Xu Yunfan happily ate the chicken. Seeing Qi Xiu Ze and the others looking at him strangely, he said, "Why are you looking at me? Eat it now, or it will get cold. Do you think I can fill you up?"
Qi Xiu Ze, who was sitting on the side and didn't know there was such a thing as dog food, was also puzzled. They had only eaten a few bites of the meal, but after watching the interaction between Xu Yunfan and Qin Run, they felt full, even a little bloated.
Shen Ruxi: "Yunfan, you are so... delicate."
She even has to ask her husband to help her eat the chicken skin. She is even more like a young master than these young masters. Look at them, they are of good status, but none of them is like Xu Yunfan, who can't eat even a little bit of fat.
Xu Yunfan swallowed the meat in his mouth and said, "Who's spoiled? I just don't like to eat it. I know you envy me for having a husband who loves you, and you don't, so you feel unbalanced."
Shen Ruxi: “…”
This kid has such a good attitude that no one's words from others can hurt him at all.
Qin Run laughed grimly, touched Xu Yunfan's arm, and whispered to him, "What else do you want to eat? Tell me, I'll pick some for you, and I'll peel the fat ones for you."
Xu Yunfan picked up another piece of chicken and dipped it in the sauce before putting it in Qin Run's bowl. "You eat it too. You don't have to peel it for me. You can just help me eat it. Anyway," Xu Yunfan leaned over and whispered in Qin Run's ear, "I don't know how many times I've eaten your food. Don't mind."
If he disliked her, why would he kiss Qin Run for so long every time?
That’s definitely not possible.
The person you like, you really like him or her no matter how you look at him or her, how can you dislike him or her?
Qin Run: “…”
boom!
Qin Run's face turned red, and he deliberately lowered his head and ate his food quickly to block the curious gazes of Qi Xiu Ze and the others.
Shen Ruxi ate two bowls of rice, which tasted like chewing wax. According to his usual appetite, he should have no problem finishing three or four bowls, but now he was already full. "I say, you two have had enough. You are bullying us bachelors without wives, right?"
"Shamelessly kissing each other in public is simply a disgrace to public morals."
A not-so-harmonious voice ruined the atmosphere.
Xu Yunfan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who was speaking was a boy who looked very little. The way the other party looked at him, no, to be more precise, the way the boy looked at Qin Run was very subtle, so subtle that it was hard to describe, but Xu Yunfan felt very unhappy after just one look.
The look in this guy's eyes made Xu Yunfan think of Jing Ye Ze for no reason.
Yes, Jing Ye Ze, who was sitting on a steed, holding a gun against his forehead, looking down at him as if he were an ant, was using this kind of eyes at that time. No wonder he felt a little familiar.
As one of the shameless protagonists, Xu Yunfan quit. How could he be shameless?
This guy is really annoying.
You deserve to be scolded!
