Chapter 209 Wait for me, I will return triumphantly!

Xie Zhuoning looked helpless.

It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but her brother is different. When he cries, it's like a flood bursting a dam.

Even after crying enough, he still refused to let go and clung to her like a child.

"I remember that my sister used to tell me bedtime stories. Can you tell me one?"

You are not a three-year-old child anymore, why do you still need to listen to bedtime stories?

Just as Xie Zhuoning was about to refuse, he looked at her pitifully with his red eyes from crying.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you. Once upon a time, there was a mountain. On the mountain there was an old monster who loved to eat children who didn't sleep..."

The gentle voice flows quietly like time and years.

After the story was told, everyone fell asleep.

Xie Zhuoning stood up and tucked the quilt in for him before leaving.

After everyone left, Xie Minglang slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction his sister left. Unknowingly, tears welled up in his eyes.

When he was born, his mother died of dystocia, so when he was young, he was particularly envious of those children who were loved by their mothers.

When he returned to the capital from Beiguan, his great aunt Liang held him in her arms and said tenderly, "From now on, our Lang'er will also have a mother."

He was extremely happy and thought his life was finally complete.

Therefore, he truly regarded Liang as his own mother, and Xie Wanyin and the others as his closest brothers and sisters, and believed in their words without a doubt.

After several provocations, he became separated from his own sister.

He had forgotten that he had never been less than those who had mothers.

Because his elder sister had already given him all her love.

"Sister, from now on, I will be the one protecting you."

He will work hard to become strong, strong enough to provide her with a world of his own and protect her for the rest of her life!

The next morning.

Fuling came over hurriedly with a letter in her hand, "Miss, the young master is gone, leaving only this!"

"What?" Xie Zhuoning looked up in surprise, then quickly took the letter and opened it.

"Sister, please."

"When you see this letter, I will be on my way to Beiguan."

"Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. I am not a good person. I am afraid that when I leave, you will cry and feel reluctant to leave. You will want to stay, so I can only leave quietly."

"It's a long journey, I don't know when we'll see each other again. Please take care, sister, and wait for me to come back triumphantly!"

"Unworthy brother, I will present it to you clearly."

After reading it, Xie Zhuoning couldn't help but laugh and curse, "This brat, he's still trying to leave without saying goodbye."

As I laughed, my eyes gradually became moist.

Mom, look, Minglang has finally started to become sensible.

I think I have lived up to the trust.

Xie Zhuoning retracted his gaze and suppressed his emotions. He folded the letter and put it away. He looked up and said to Fuling, "Give the order and set off back to Beijing."

Next, there are still many things waiting for her to do.

…

The first thing he did when he returned to Beijing was to go straight to the Yufusi.

However, Xie Zhuoning never expected that when he reached the door, he would see that the outside of Yufu Company was surrounded by people.

The people from the Eastern Palace and Prince Yong's Mansion were stationed on both sides, with flags clearly displayed and swords drawn, looking like they could start a fight at any time.

Just then, Xie Zhuoning saw Ling Xiao coming out, and he quickly winked at Xia Ju.

Xia Ju immediately reached over and pulled Ling Xiao to the corner.

"Miss Xie, Xia Ju, it's you, why didn't you say so earlier!"

With a sigh of relief, Ling Xiao put the half-pulled knife back into his hand.

Without waiting for Xie Zhuoning to ask, he spoke first, "Are you here to see me? I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while. The Crown Prince and Prince Yong are both in the Yufusi. I don't think you can leave for a while."

"What are they doing here?"

"Oh, what else can we do? We are here for the case of selling official positions and titles. The Crown Prince and Prince Yong are forcing our master to hand over Cui Wen, the Minister of Personnel, and close the case as soon as possible!"

Xie Zhuoning seemed to be listening to some Arabian Nights.

The Crown Prince and Prince Yong have always been at odds with each other and always oppose each other on everything. How come their goals are so surprisingly consistent on this matter?

There's something weird about this matter!

After a brief thought, she opened her lips and said, "Take me to see Cui Wen first."

Ling Xiao nodded immediately, "Then follow me through the back door, there are fewer people at the back door."

The way he agreed without hesitation made Xie Zhuoning laugh, "Why don't you ask the reason first?"

Ling Xiao touched the back of his head and smiled innocently, "You are just like me. You must have your reasons for doing something."

He doesn't need to understand, he just needs to follow instructions and do it.

Hearing this, Xie Zhuoning did not delay any longer and immediately carried Xiao Cuishu out of the car.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, there are a few thieves here, send someone to arrest them."

In Yufusi's room.

After the Crown Prince and the imperial physician sent by Prince Yong examined Cui Wen, they all shook their heads.

"Looking at this, I'm afraid he will never wake up again."

"Let's go and report back."

As soon as the imperial doctors left, Xie Zhuoning immediately took Cui Shuo and slipped in.

"Daddy..." When little Cui Shu saw the man lying on the bed, she immediately ran over to him, crying.

But the father who once would lift him up high now lies on the bed, motionless.

Xie Zhuoning couldn't bear to look away, but she knew that the situation was urgent and she couldn't afford to have any unnecessary emotions.

She walked to the bedside and said to the unconscious Cui Wen, "Minister Cui, I know you were wrongly accused. You wrote a confession and committed suicide out of fear of the crime because someone threatened the lives of your wife and children. You had no choice, right?"

"Now I have brought little Cui Shuo back. Look, he is intact and calling you daddy."

When Ah Yu was chatting with her, she mentioned that there were some vegetative patients who had been in a coma for several years, but they woke up again because of the daily calls of their relatives.

She brought little Cui Wen here to use the father-son bond between them to arouse Cui Wen's desire to survive!

But after they said a lot, Cui Wen didn't respond at all.

Ling Xiao shook his head, "Xie, Miss, it's useless. Our master has invited so many doctors in the past two days, and they all said that he will never wake up again."

Is it impossible?

Xie Zhuoning just refused to believe it!

Since family affection doesn’t work, what about hatred?

"Cui Wen, do you know how your wife died? In order to threaten you, they cut off her head while she was still alive, and then dumped her body on a mass grave, letting wolves gnaw on the bones, leaving no trace of her body!"

"Don't you want to avenge her? Don't you want to open your eyes and see those who killed her get their comeuppance?"

"Can you bear to abandon the child she risked her life to give birth to and protect for you, leaving him alone and helpless for the rest of his life?"

The questioning voice, mixed with little Cui Shuo's crying, echoed throughout the room.

Xie Zhuoning stared at Cui Wen who was unconscious on the bed, his heart tightening, "Is it still useless?"

Is it true that after all the efforts, it will still be in vain?

At this moment, Ling Xiao on the side suddenly let out a strange cry and stretched out his finger tremblingly, "It moved... I saw his eyes moved!"
