Chapter 679 I have no father or mother
Xing Xing and Wei Shiyu stayed for a while, until there was no movement outside, and then they quietly climbed back through the dog hole.
However, perhaps because they had just spied on such an awkward love scene, they were somewhat unlucky. As soon as Wei Shiyu and Xing Xing crawled out of the dog hole, they found in front of them a team of guards who had been ordered to help a certain palace concubine find a lost fox slave.
Guards: “…”
Wei Shiyu, Xingxing: "..."
The guards all had confusing expressions on their faces.
I dare not to intervene.
The captain of the guard took a deep breath and said, "Third Prince, what are you doing..."
Wei Shiyu's expression changed slightly, and he put on the dignity of a prince: "This prince is looking for something with the princess. Just pretend you didn't see what happened just now. Do you understand?"
The guards dared not say no and they all bowed their heads in agreement.
However, Queen Nie soon learned about this.
Empress Nie was still meeting with the wives of ministers. When she heard what the housekeeper whispered to her, she almost choked.
She gave the housekeeper a look, and the housekeeper went out to sternly order the guards who saw the Third Prince and Princess Fusui doing the dog hole together to keep their mouths shut.
When Empress Nie finished her work and held a banquet in the inner palace, she felt a little headache and asked someone to call Wei Shiyu over.
Wei Shiyu walked in unawares: "Mother, are you looking for me?"
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Wei Shiyu felt the death gaze from his mother.
Wei Shiyu: “???”
He paused, ready to run away at any time, and looked at his mother warily.
Queen Nie smiled coldly at Wei Shiyu.
Yu Hun shuddered when he saw Wei Shi: "Mother???"
"Wei Shiyu!"
Queen Nie called Wei Shiyu's name coldly.
When your parents call you by your full name, there is only one best way to respond - run away!
Wei Shiyu didn't hesitate and ran away.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The maids around Queen Nie skillfully closed the palace door from outside.
Queen Nie directly used the method of catching a turtle in a jar to help Wei Shiyu.
The graceful and elegant Queen Nie took care of Wei Shiyu and gave him a complete education of love.
Wei Shiyu was filled with grief and anger.
Who is this young man? He is already fifteen years old and is still being beaten by his mother!
After beating her son, Queen Nie threw away the feather duster and said angrily: "If you take Xingxing to climb a dog hole again in the future, I will beat you every time I know it! Fortunately, only the guards saw it now. If it was seen by others, you know how much impact it would have on Xingxing, as women in this world have a hard time!"
Wei Shiyu also knew that what he did was wrong and dared not say a word.
Queen Nie took a few deep breaths to slow down, then glared at Wei Shiyu and said softly, "Xingxing is not only my savior, but also an important person to your second brother. She can't make any mistakes, understand?"
"Mother, don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter." Wei Shiyu raised one hand and swore.
Queen Nie looked at Wei Shiyu with some disbelief.
Wei Shiyu put on an innocent look, blinked, and looked at his mother sincerely: "Really."
Queen Nie couldn't stand his behavior, but in the end she was amused and drove him out in a bad mood.
The first day of the new year was very lively.
The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day to return to one’s parents’ home, but because the Yu family moved to the capital, most of the female family members’ parents’ homes are not in the capital.
Cen Yueyi's parents' home is in Beijing, but she was born prematurely, so Mrs. Wei and Li Chunhua both asked Cen Yueyi to stay in confinement for two months. Now she has not finished the confinement period yet, so she cannot go back to her parents' home.
As for Gong Qingniang, the Gong family had fled the capital and there had been no news of them since, so naturally there was no need for her to return to her parents' home.
Mrs. Wei has no daughter, so naturally she has no aunt to return to the Yu family.
The second day of the Chinese New Year was quite free.
The whole family got together and had a lot of free time, so they hired a storyteller at a high price. Everyone sat around the fireplace, eating melon seeds, and felt quite comfortable.
In the guest house, Da Xi Si Po also went to listen to the storytelling.
Qing Shuang was alone in the room, lying on the bed.
She had a little maid serving her in her room.
The little maid worked very efficiently. She wiped Qing Shuang's face and hands and served her very well.
Qing Shuang watched the little maid busying around in the room, and after a long while she uttered, "Thank you."
The little maid was startled, then smiled brightly: "What are you talking about, young lady? You are a guest, and it is my duty to serve you."
Qing Shuang didn't say anything.
The maid tested the water temperature in the teapot and said, "...Oh, the tea is a little cold. I'll get you some more hot water. Please wait, young lady."
The little maid ran out carrying the teapot.
It was not known whether it was a coincidence or not, but when the maid went out, Bai Xiaofeng happened to pass by outside the courtyard and saw the maid running out of the house with a water bottle in her hand. There was a slippery spot in the courtyard, and the maid slipped and fell flat on her face: "Ah!"
Bai Xiaofeng hurried over to help.
What Bai Xiaofeng didn't expect was that a girl also came out of the room.
The girl was not very old, with a pale face, long hair simply tied up, and wearing a white undershirt. She came out hurriedly to help the man.
With this movement, blood stains appeared on the white undergarment.
The little maidservant cried out anxiously: "Oh, girl, you are still injured."
Bai Xiaofeng was stunned.
The little maid then realized that Bai Xiaofeng had also arrived, and she quickly got up and said, "Second Madam."
Bai Xiaofeng came back to his senses: "Are you okay after the fall? Walk slowly and don't be so impatient."
The little maid didn't dare to say anything more.
Bai Xiaofeng looked at the girl who ran out of the house again.
As one of the wives in charge of the Yu family, Bai Xiaofeng knew that this was the courtyard where Grandma Da Xi lived, and she also knew that Grandma Da Xi had brought a girl to the mansion to recuperate.
She looked at the girl's white underwear which was stained with blood, and her face changed slightly: "... Hey girl, go back to your room and lie down. How can you move when you are injured?"
Qing Shuang was silent and said nothing.
Bai Xiaofeng and the little maid hurriedly helped Qing Shuang back.
The little maidservant was so anxious that she turned around and around: "If Si Po finds out, she will definitely be angry again when she comes back."
Qing Shuang seemed to know that she was in trouble and lay on the bed not daring to say a word.
Bai Xiaofeng was a warm-hearted person who spoke straightforwardly. She also said a few words: "You are a young girl, but you have done this to yourself. You must take care of yourself. Otherwise, your parents will be so sad if they see you."
Qing Shuang pursed her lips and said, "It doesn't matter. I have no father or mother."
Bai Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
This is a poor girl... She even mentioned other people's parents... Really...
Bai Xiaofeng felt really embarrassed, so she told the little maid to take good care of the injured girl. She didn't feel comfortable staying any longer, so she turned around and left.
The more Bai Xiaofeng thought about it, the more she felt that the girl, who was so young, only a few years older than Xingxing, had blood oozing from many parts of her body, which was really heartbreaking.
However, after all, he was Da Xi Si Po's man, and Bai Xiaofeng had no intention of interfering in the matter and saying anything about him.
Bai Xiaofeng sighed, and when she was walking towards the main courtyard, she happened to meet Yu Yonggui.
I don’t know why, but Bai Xiaofeng feels inexplicably angry when she sees her fourth son. As the saying goes, she just doesn’t like him no matter how she looks at him.
Yu Yonggui smiled and called out "Mom" first, then "Ouch!" and pointed at Bai Xiaofeng's sleeve: "Mom, where are you hurt?"
There were some blood stains on Bai Xiaofeng's sleeves.
She looked at it and exclaimed, "I was injured here. It was in your grandmother Da Xi's yard. The injured girl ran out in the cold weather to help a little maid who fell down. As a result, her wound burst open... I had to help her back in. I guess the blood was stained at that time."
Yu Yonggui's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained frozen.
Bai Xiaofeng happened to see it.
Bai Xiaofeng felt something was a little strange and looked at Yu Yonggui in confusion: "...What's wrong?"
Yu Yonggui laughed and said, "No, nothing. I just heard that my mother was not injured, so I relaxed for a while. That's all."
Bai Xiaofeng instinctively felt that this was not the case.
She looked at Yu Yonggui in a strange way. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. She asked casually, "...Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen the girl that Da Xi Si Po brought here to recuperate. Who is that girl?"
Yu Yonggui said, "Oh," and said, "I'm not really familiar with him. I thought he was a patient of Grandma Daxi, so I didn't ask much."
This statement did not dispel Bai Xiaofeng's doubts, but Yu Yonggui obviously did not want to say more. He laughed and skipped Qing Shuang's topic, saying directly: "Mom, you should go back and change your clothes. If Toubang sees you, he will probably cry."
Bai Xiaofeng said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Bang'er is almost ten years old, how can he still be a crying child? You are here to bully your brother in front of me! The last time your brother cried, wasn't it because of your injuries that frightened Bang'er? Now you are making fun of your brother!"
Yu Yonggui quickly raised his hands in surrender: "Yes, yes, yes, mother is absolutely right, absolutely right, I shouldn't have laughed at Bang'er...Okay, mother, go and change your clothes quickly."
Yu Yonggui ran away.
Bai Xiaofeng looked at Yu Yonggui's back and always felt that something was wrong.
She went back to her room to change her clothes, and then went to the stage that the Yu family had specially built in the warm pavilion.
Xingxing was accompanying Mrs. Wei to listen to a story.
Bai Xiaofeng looked around but didn't see Da Xi Si Po. She thought she must have gone back to bandage the injured girl.
Bai Xiaofeng sat next to Xingxing, who handed her a handful of candy: "Second Auntie, this shrimp whisker candy is delicious, try it."
Bai Xiaofeng took it and suddenly remembered something. She asked Xingxing, "By the way, Xingxing, you also know the injured girl in your grandmother Daxi's yard, right?"
Xingxing's hands trembled.
When Bai Xiaofeng saw Xingxing's reaction, that strange feeling came back to her.
Xing Xing smiled and said, "I only know that the girl's name is Qing Shuang, but I don't know much about the rest. She was seriously injured, and Grandma Da Xi picked her up and saved her life."
Bai Xiaofeng nodded.
Xingxing's reaction was very similar to her brother Gui's, that is, although it seemed like nothing, why did both of them look a little nervous?
Bai Xiaofeng really couldn't understand.
Just then, the nanny took Miaomiao out to play. Bai Xiaofeng's attention was immediately taken away by Miaomiao. She stood up with a smile on her face to tease Miaomiao: "Oh, my dear girl, let the second nanny hold you."
Instead, he forgot about Qing Shuang's matter.
Xingxing wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, found an opportunity, sneaked out, and went to find Yu Yonggui to "confront" her.
"How did Second Aunt know Qingshuang? I was really surprised when she asked." Xingxing asked in confusion.
Yu Yonggui told Xingxing about how Qingshuang ran out to help the little girl and ended up getting wounded and was seen by her mother. Xingxing was helpless and didn't know what to say.
"I don't want to lie to Second Aunt, so I just used Qingshuang's name to get away with it today. But if she asks me more details later, I'm afraid I'll be exposed." Xingxing looked a little worried.
Yu Yonggui also had a similarly gloomy expression.
The brother and sister looked at each other and sighed.
You can't tell Bai Xiaofeng that Qing Shuang is the person who almost stabbed your son to death last time, right?
Xingxing was really worried that her second aunt would just pick up a knife and fight Qingshuang to the death.
"My mother probably won't think too much about it. She probably just ran into Qing Shuang today and was curious." Yu Yonggui comforted Xingxing, "In a few days, she will probably forget about it."
Xing Xing nodded: "... Then I'll go to Grandma Da Xi's place to see Qing Shuang first. Her wound has split open again. Grandma Da Xi will definitely blame her to death."
Sure enough, when Xingxing passed by, Daxi Sipo had a gloomy face and was making a lot of noise, and didn't want to pay any attention to Qingshuang.
Qing Shuang's face was pale and she lay on the bed, not daring to move.
The little maid was serving in the room silently. When she saw Xingxing coming, she was so excited that she almost grabbed Xingxing's hand and cried.
Xingxing patted her shoulder comfortingly and motioned her to go out first.
The little maidservant was as if she had been pardoned, and quickly said, "Then I will go to the stove room to boil water first. If the princess needs anything, just call me."
The little maid ran away very quickly.
Xingxing persuaded the person to leave, and then went to coax Da Xisi Po.
She helplessly went to get the pestle from Daxi Sipo: "Grandma Daxi, why are you pestling so hard? Your waist, shoulders and neck are not in good condition. If you use so much force, it will hurt again."
Xingxing took the medicine pestle from Daxisipo and helped her to pound the medicine.
Da Xi Si Po loved Xing Xing the most. Xing Xing wanted to help her make medicine, so she just let Xing Xing do it. Da Xi Si Po sat aside with a cold face: "If only everyone could be as worry-free as you!"
Everyone in the room knew who Daxisi Po was talking about.
But the one lying on the bed didn't dare to say anything, so Xing Xing could only smile and say, "If everyone wants to be like me, then wouldn't Grandma Da Xi want to fall in love with everyone she sees? That's not possible."
Da Xi Si Po was amused by Xing Xing, and the corners of her mouth twitched, and her angry expression finally eased a little.
"What are you doing here?" Da Xi Si Po asked Xing Xing directly.
Xing Xing squeezed some more medicine and said with a smile, "It's nothing. I just heard that Qing Shuang's wound had burst open, and I was worried that you would be angry again, so I came to see you. Look, I came at the right time."
Da Xi Si Po sneered.
Xing Xing raised her voice slightly and said to Qing Shuang, "Miss Qing Shuang, I know you have good intentions and want to help others, but you should also consider yourself in everything. You are seriously injured, and you always ignore your own health. This is not okay."
