Without Shen Nei raising his hand to point the way, Guyu led Xie Shiguan to the gate of Tao Yiru's house with ease.
"Your Highness, this is the place."
Shen Que suddenly realized that he might have been monitored by this man all these days, and the yamenei who came that day might have been brought by him.
His Highness is here, but where is Lin Xie? Also, why did His Highness bring these two unfamiliar followers with him? Where are Master and Senior Brother? Did something happen to them?
Just as he was distracted, Xie Shiguan kicked the gate open, and the wooden bolt that locked the gate broke into two pieces and fell to the ground with a clang.
The noise was quite loud. The old lady who was sweeping the snow in the yard was startled by it. She looked up and saw the menacing stranger and hurriedly shouted to the kitchen, "Aru, Aru!"
Tao Yiru thought that it was the bachelor's family from that day who came to cause trouble again, so she picked up the pliers and rushed out of the kitchen. She first saw the person who came, but then she caught a glimpse of Chen Que who was held in the arms of the tall man with cold eyebrows and eyes, and her face was obviously stunned.
"Ah," she lowered her eyes and saw the wound on Chen Que's calf. She screamed and dropped the fire tongs in her hand. "How did this happen? Come to the main room quickly!"
There was a single low couch in the main room. Tao Yiru instructed Xie Shiguan to put the person down. The prince had been walking along the mountain road with Shen Que in his arms for nearly two hours. His hands were almost numb, so he didn't bother with her and slowly put the person on the couch.
Then he stood aside and watched coldly as the village woman went to get the medicine powder and then went to the kitchen to fetch hot water. After a series of operations, Tao Yiru was already covered in sweat after hurriedly treating the wound on the mute's leg.
She sat down at the end of the couch, washed her hands with a wet cotton towel, and asked Chen Que in a low voice: "What happened? What happened on the mountain?"
As he said this, he secretly glanced at the man behind him. Chen Que was already considered tall among them. Standing among the men, he stood out like a crane among chickens. However, the man behind him looked taller than Chen Que. Even though he was only wearing a thin shirt, one could tell that he had an extraordinary demeanor.
No matter how you look at it, this person is definitely not an ordinary person.
Tao Yiru didn't dare to look at him any more, so she could only wink at Chen Que secretly.
The anesthetic on Shen Que's body had worn off, his legs began to ache, and he had lost a lot of blood due to the torture of the arrow. The blood had faded from his lips and cheeks, and they were so pale that he looked lifeless. In short, he looked extremely miserable.
No matter how he looked at it, he was being bullied. Tao Yiru was about to say something else, but the person behind him spoke first: "I thought you had such good eyesight, and which maid in the inner palace was inferior to her? Why did you have to betray me and escape here?"
Tao Yiru was a little confused listening to his words.
Then I heard the nobleman say, "That child is also hers, right? What a promising man, Chen Que. What do you want from being a grandfather to someone else's child?"
Perhaps the news that reached the prince's ears was slightly different from the facts, which caused him to misunderstand Si Lai's identity. Shen was stunned at first, and then simply went with the flow and raised his hand to gesture slowly.
"I am willing to go back with you. If Your Highness wants to punish or kill me, I have no resentment. But when I was in danger, it was Yi Ru who saved me. I beg Your Highness to let them go."
Seeing that he neither denied nor explained, Xie Shiguan's eyes suddenly smiled, his narrow and long eyes slightly curved, and then he suddenly approached him, uttering through gritted teeth: "Are you really together with her?"
After a pause, he asked again, "Are you really married to her?"
"You really became the grandfather of that ugly thing?!"
His tone became heavier and heavier, as if he would strangle Shen to death immediately if he dared to nod.
Shen Que did not dare to respond for a moment. Every reaction of His Highness was beyond his expectations, which made him feel confused and upset.
But Tao Yiru, who was sitting at the end of the couch, accidentally caught a glimpse of Xie Shiguan's amber eyes, and guessed in her heart that he was Silai's other grandfather. Then she remembered that Chen had avoided him like a demon before, and she couldn't help but feel angry.
"Why are you forcing him to tell you? Shen Lang and I are innocent," Tao Yiru said, "How can this kid be my son? You are in love with him, but you don't know that he..."
However, Shen felt as if his breathing had stopped. He raised his hand in a hurry and gestured towards Tao Yiru anxiously.
Don’t say it, don’t say it!
But Tao Yiru didn't even look at him. She raised her head and asked Xie Shiguan boldly: "Can he also have a child?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the air in the main room stagnated for a moment, and Shen closed his eyes in almost despair. He gripped the edge of the couch with his hands and pressed so hard that his finger bones turned white.
"What?" Xie Shiguan said slowly, "You're pregnant?"
"My dear, are you still going to play dumb? Go and take a look at him. That kid has a pair of wolf eyes like yours. What else can you say?"
Seeing that Xie Shiguan didn't respond, Tao Yiru was even more furious, and she was still questioning the prince fearlessly: "I only ask you, where were you when Shen Lang hid in the mountains and had a hard time giving birth? Where were you when his water broke and he was bullied by that scoundrel? Where were you when he relied on the ginseng soup to keep himself alive, and almost lost two lives? Now you know to come here to look for him, ugh!"
Shen's face turned pale when he heard it.
But to Shen's surprise, after hearing what Tao Yiru said, the prince was not angry at all, and he had no intention of drawing the sword to kill him and Tao Yiru.
He was just stunned, then lowered his head and asked the mute: "Is this child yours?"
"You, gave birth?"
Shen Que didn't dare to admit it and quickly shook his head.
He was scared to death. He was afraid that Xie Shiguan would know that he had an affair with the assassin in the palace, that he was pregnant with that man, and that he was not only deformed but also dirty.
He was even more afraid that after he knew about it, he would not only take his life, but would not even let Si Lai stay.
But Xie Shiguan miraculously calmed down, and the sarcasm and mockery on his face gradually disappeared. I don’t know if it was Shen Que’s illusion.
He always felt that the prince looked... as if, as if he was quite happy.
Xie Shiguan turned his head and leaned over to look at the child in Xiaoman's arms. Now he didn't think the child was ugly anymore. He just thought that the little thing was very smart when sucking its fingers. No matter how you looked at it, it should be his, Xie Shiguan's, child.
No wonder the mute ran away. It turned out that he was not running away to avoid him, but to this little thing.
All the anger in his heart seemed to have been smoothed out, so he reached out his hand and wanted to pinch the boy's face for fun.
However, when Shen caught a glimpse of his scrutinizing gaze and the movements of his hands, he couldn't help but feel his heart tremble. He didn't care about his calf that had just been bandaged, and limped over here, snatching Silai from Xiaoman's arms first.
He didn't know what the prince was thinking, he just thought that Xie Shiguan wanted to kill Silai and his child.
Tao Yiru followed behind him anxiously: "Are you crazy? You just got it fixed and it opened again in a moment."
Shen was holding Si Lai, and had no extra hands to gesture, so he could only look into the prince's eyes, open his lips, and beg: "Don't hurt him..."
"Please."
His Highness then realized that the mute probably thought that the boy's grandfather was Lin Xie, and he was so afraid because he was afraid that he would kill this "bastard" with his own hands.
Tao Yiru didn't understand what they were doing, so she half helped and half pushed him back to the side room: "Go back to the couch and rest first. If you have anything to say, wait until you calm down and then talk properly. Don't walk around. Do you still want your leg?"
However, Shen didn't dare to go in at all. He was afraid that once he closed the door, Tao Yiru and her daughter would be in trouble. First, it would be them, and then he and Silai. His Highness would not let anyone go.
But Xie Shiguan also followed at this time, then pushed Tao Yiru aside, pushed the mute into the house, and closed the door heavily.
Tao Yiru outside the house quickly banged on the door. Although she could see that Xie Shiguan must be a nobleman in a high position and was very scared, she still shouted, "What do you want to do? Open the door!"
"If you don't open the door, I'll report it to the police," she threatened. "In broad daylight, you..."
Before she could finish her words, someone seemed to cover her mouth and dragged her away.
When Shen heard the noise, his heartbeat tightened, and holding his injured leg, he wanted to open the door and go out to save people.
Xie Shiguan stopped him: "Without my order, they won't take action."
Shen Que then stopped in front of the door. Moreover, if His Highness really wanted to attack her, he would probably not be able to stop him even if he risked his life.
"Are you so worried about her? That village woman can barely be considered decent, but she looks quite old. I'm afraid she's even a little older than you, right?"
Shen wanted to explain, but Si Lai in his arms seemed to smell a familiar smell in the house and knew that he was back home, so he started sobbing again.
"Is he hungry?" Xie Shiguan suddenly laughed, "Why don't you feed him milk?"
He knew what His Highness meant, his face flushed, and his ears became hotter and hotter.
The next moment, Xie Shiguan half pushed and half carried him to the couch. His Highness raised his finger and asked the bed curtain to fall down.
The light on the couch suddenly dimmed. At the end of the bed was the underwear he had just changed this morning. It had gotten wet due to his carelessness at night, and he had not had time to wash it in the river. If Your Highness got close, he would definitely smell the sweet and fishy smell of milk on it.
But the more you don’t want to see something, the more it will appear before your eyes.
Xie Shiguan leaned forward slightly, touched the semi-rough and semi-soft fabric with his fingertips, hooked it up, and grasped it in his palm.
Shen really wished he was blind, but unfortunately he was not.
The next moment, Xie Shiguan's nose moved forward, with the lower half of his face almost sunk into the fabric, and he sniffed deeply.
When he raised his eyes again, he saw that the mute's face was almost completely red and blood was about to drip from his ears.
But Shen would rather he stab himself to death with a sword than be looked at by His Highness in this way.
The kid in his arms was still crying. Seeing that he was reluctant to move, the prince suddenly moved closer, holding up his underwear on the couch with his hands, and leaning against his red ears, he exhaled hotly, "Feed him, what are you waiting for?"
Shen Que patted Si Lai's back gently, trying to comfort him, but it was useless no matter how he coaxed him. The kid was starving, and if he didn't feed him, Shen Que was afraid that he would get hungry and get into trouble.
Therefore, he had no choice but to slowly unbutton his clothes under Xie Shiguan's burning gaze. When he was left with only his inner clothes, Chen could no longer bear it and wanted to turn around and face the prince with his back.
But Xie Shiguan always noticed his thoughts first and ordered him shamelessly: "Don't hide, I want to see."
He had obeyed His Highness' orders, but, but...
Xie Shiguan saw the two wet spots on his clothes and his mouth became dry: "He has cried so hard, and you, as a father, are so ignorant."
"You can't solve it, or you don't want to solve it," Xie Shiguan smiled, "Do you want me to help you?"
Seeing that he was about to extend his hand, Shen quickly and subconsciously drew back, and then he was willing to reach out his hand to solve the last layer.
It was dim in the bed curtains, but Chen didn't want him to see clearly, so he half-lowered his collar and immediately asked the starving kid to come closer.
Therefore, Xie Shiguan only caught a hasty glimpse of the shadow. The material of the underwear seemed to be extremely rough, and it rubbed his chest, which was much more delicate than usual, and left a red mark.
A bit of intriguing beauty.
There was also a very conspicuous position that seemed to be wetted by something, standing there in a dishevelled and pitiful manner, and it seemed to be glowing with lustful water.
