Xiao Cui called out in a delicate voice, but Leng Xi ignored her. Instead, he came to Xiao Bao, touched the place where Xiao Cui had just hit him, and asked distressedly:
"Does it still hurt?"
Xiaobao shook his head vigorously and replied with pursed lips:
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Leng Xi asked again,
"Have you had enough?"
Xiaobao nodded.
"Well, she hit me once, and I hit her back twice."
"That's good. Let's go. Dad has something to say to you."
As he spoke, he stood in front with his hands behind his back, and Xiaobao followed carefully behind him.
Xiao Cui still stood there in a daze, as if she hadn't reacted. Seeing this, the maid Xiao Ying stepped forward and said,
"Let's go back!"
Watching the father and son leave, Xiao Cui stamped her feet in anger and cursed angrily:
"You don't even want the baby in my belly? Well, if you don't want it, I don't want it either. I don't want it either."
As she spoke, she banged her head against the stone wall like crazy. Xiaoying was so scared that she shouted:
"Help, help, help!"
Leng Xi, who had already walked far away, frowned, stopped, wanted to look back, but finally continued to move forward.
Xiaobao may have seen his hesitation and asked in confusion:
"Why don't you go back and see her? She's trying to commit suicide."
Leng Xi twitched the corner of his mouth and replied lightly:
"If I indulge her this time, there will be a next time. I will let her know who she is."
Xiaobao nodded as if he understood, and followed him to his room.
Leng Xi's guess turned out to be correct. It turned out that Xiao Cui just bumped into the wall lightly. She wanted to scare Leng Xi, but he didn't even turn his head.
She suddenly fell to the ground in dejection, mumbling weakly,
"No matter how hard I try, I can't have a place in your heart, right? Then what am I? Can I only be a maid for the rest of my life? So what if my child is born? But it's still a child with a maid as a mother. People look down on him!"
"Miss Xiao Cui, the ground is cold. Please get up and let's go back."
Xiaoying stepped forward and helped Xiaocui up. Xiaocui also stood up tactfully, watching Lengxi's back disappear from her sight, and walked towards her room in a daze.
A woman who is quiet and sensible will win the favor of men.
On the contrary, if one does not know one's own status and position, and uses the baby in one's belly as a bargaining chip and keeps making trouble, the final result will only be that one will be too clever and shoot oneself in the foot.
This was the first time Leng Xi sat down and talked to Xiao Bao.
Xiaobao felt a little uneasy. Leng Xi's ever-changing face frightened him.
Leng Xi understood his thoughts.
After hesitating for a while, he said carefully:
"Xiaobao, you are eleven years old this year. Although you are still small in age, you have grown to the height of your father's shoulders. I am very pleased, but also very regretful. You grew up quietly, and I unexpectedly discovered it one day."
At this point, the muscles on Leng Xi's face trembled, and his heart was filled with melancholy.
Xiaobao had no idea what he was going to say, so he could only listen quietly and didn't dare to interrupt.
After a moment of silence, Leng Xi continued:
"There's something I have to tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else. Otherwise, you'll kill me and yourself, too. Do you understand?"
Xiaobao suddenly realized that the father in front of him was talking to him as an adult, and his expression suddenly became nervous.
He nodded, "I understand."
Leng Xi hesitated for a moment again, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he continued:
"Dad knows you've been in a bad mood these past two days because I didn't let you go to Prince Yu's Mansion. But you have to understand, Dad is doing this for your own good. You're not young anymore, you can't act like a child. Dad wants to build a kingdom for you, and someone will have to pay the price. It's either us or someone else. For your future, you should stay home and wait for good news from Dad."
His words made Xiaobao a little confused. He looked at him in confusion, wanting to raise his doubts, but in the end he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Leng Xi didn't want to explain too much to him, but just reminded him indifferently,
"Remember what Daddy told you. Daddy doesn't let you go out because it's for your own good. The capital is in chaos these days, and Prince Yu's mansion is even more chaotic. Daddy has a lot of things to deal with and has no time to take care of you. When you have nothing to do, just stay in the mansion and read a book, write, or practice martial arts. In short, stay in the mansion and don't worry about what happens outside."
Although he used a negotiating tone, Xiaobao could tell that this was his order.
He had never dared to disobey his orders, even now that his height had reached his shoulders, he still didn't dare to disobey.
He could only nod and replied softly,
"I understand. Tomorrow morning, can I go and see Uncle Xiaoshuang off for the last time? He was very kind to me when he was alive."
Leng Xi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Xiaobao would have such thoughts.
Although he didn't want Xiaobao to go, he nodded and said, "Okay, you go with me tomorrow."
"Thank you, Dad..."
Perhaps because of being suppressed, Xiaobao has always been taciturn in front of Lengxi.
"I'll call you tomorrow morning..."
After leaving these light words, he stood up, glanced at Xiaobao who lowered his head, and turned away.
Xiaobao's thoughts were still on what Lengxi had just said to him.
He said: He will conquer a kingdom and make others pay the price?
