Chapter 123 His Eyes
"I'm still a big kid who hasn't reached marriage age yet. I just want to stick with my mother."
Jiang Yunshu smiled and patted her head. "Hurry up and take a nap. You must not fall asleep in front of Princess Anyang and be impolite."
"Hmm." Cheng Qingmeng closed his eyes slightly, breathing slowly, and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Jiang Yunshu gently waved his fan and closed his eyes.
After a moment, the round fan fell, Cheng Qingmeng opened his eyes, slowly stood up, looked at his beautiful mother, and his eyes turned red.
How could my mother be so angry that she vomited blood and died?
It was obvious that he had tampered with my mother's daily food, which caused her to become angry and die of poisoning!
Cheng Qingmeng reached out and gently stroked Jiang Yunshu's lower abdomen, whispering softly:
Brother, I will protect you.
I won't let them hurt you in the slightest.
Big Brother...
Cheng Qingmeng's expression tensed, and he quickly stood up and sat up, then sat back down.
Let’s wait until the roster arrives, it should still be in time.
"Mother, hurry up, Princess Anyang might have already arrived at the Jiang residence."
Wen Nuo watched Li Yuejiao slowly putting on makeup in front of the mirror and became extremely anxious.
Well, women are more troublesome than men, especially beautiful women.
If the makeup doesn’t look good, you have to wipe it off and do it again, sometimes several times.
They are nothing like the men who can just put on nice clothes, wash their faces and go out.
"Here I am, here I am, don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Li Yuejiao put down her eyebrow pencil and carefully checked her makeup in the bronze mirror to see if it was appropriate. Then she stood up and went to hold the hand of Wen Nuo who was already crazy.
"Look how anxious you are! You know that Mom has to try on several outfits every day. You can ask Dad to go with you."
Wen Nuo pouted, "Dad didn't dare to go because he was afraid that Jiang Lao would beat him up. He disappeared early in the morning and I don't know where he went."
"I'm going to do something important. Okay, let's go quickly."
As soon as Wen Nuo got on the carriage, he ordered the driver to rush to Jiang Mansion as quickly as possible.
After the Wen family carriage had gone two blocks, a young man in ragged clothes and with dreadlocks suddenly rushed out.
“Get out of the way!”
The boy looked frightened, and his legs seemed to go limp with fear, and he sat down on the ground.
The Wen family groom pulled the reins tightly, and at the critical moment, the horse's front hooves stopped just one step away from him.
The Wen family groom was still in shock and cursed angrily, "Boy! Are you going to die? Die here!"
"Boy!" Wen's groom saw the little beggar in front of him suddenly stuff the big white flour buns and chicken legs in his hands into his mouth. He didn't hear his curse at all, and just kept eating voraciously, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch them from him.
Seeing this, the Wen family groom didn't dare to continue cursing. Suddenly realizing something, he turned around and said to the mother and son in the car window: "Madam, Master, are you all right?"
Wen Nuo was really scared but now he calmed down, "It's okay, go around him and leave quickly."
"You little bastard!" A servant came chasing out of the alley, holding a feather duster. "You stole the master's food again! I'll beat you to death!"
The boy hurriedly stood up and fell back down again, and the feather duster hit him mercilessly.
The boy seemed to be unaware of the pain and instead ate faster.
Seeing this, the old woman increased her strength, beating him while cursing, "Why don't I just hit you to death! You idiot, you bastard, why don't you just die! All you do is eat and steal. Are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost?"
"Shut up!"
A stern shout came from the Wen family carriage.
The servant was startled and immediately shut up.
The Wen family's carriages had already gone to the side. Li Yuejiao and Wen Nuo, mother and son, had just arrived in the capital, and based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more, they did not want to meddle in other people's affairs and cause trouble.
It's bad luck enough to startle a horse so early in the morning!
It’s really unbearable to listen to the dirty words at this moment!
The servant turned her head to look and saw a woman in blue clothes arrogantly emerging from the carriage. She spoke in a low voice in official language, "Call your master out! You have offended my mistress and young master. We can't just let this go!"
The servant saw that the carriage was large and gorgeous, and the clothes of the guards and maids were all made of the finest materials.
The visitor was unaware of the situation, so the servant quickly apologized with a smile, "He's just a fool. He stole the food from the master's house and ran out to offend you. Please forgive me. I'll take him back right away."
Wen Nuo lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at the boy sitting in the middle of the road.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but you'll be shocked when you do.
His clothes were torn to pieces, his back was covered with whip marks, new and old wounds intertwined, some of which were scabs.
Apparently, he was often severely beaten.
What kind of servant lives like this?
Seeing that her wife didn't say anything, Pinggu pretended to be angry and said, "Apologize to my wife and young master, or we will sue them in Jingzhao Prefecture!"
Upon hearing the report, the servant quickly leaned forward towards the window and said, "This old servant has offended your Madam and Master. Please forgive me and spare my servant."
"Watch your mouth from now on! This is the capital, under the feet of the emperor! You won't be allowed to speak nonsense here!"
"Yes, yes, madam is right!"
Li Yuejiao stretched out her hand, and Pinggu saw this and lifted her skirt and got into the carriage.
The Wen family's carriage passed slowly. When the carriage passed the young man, Wen Nuo discovered that both of his knees were broken and bleeding.
Wen Nuo couldn't help but gasp.
It hurts so much!
The young man suddenly looked up at Wen Nuo, and was then dragged into the alley by the servant girl by the back of his collar.
"parking!"
The carriage stopped, and Wen Nuo hurried over and pushed the servant aside, "Call your master here! He! This young master wants him!"
"No! He's a servant in our house. You have no right to leave!"
At this time, a woman who looked like the head of the household came rushing out of the alley with a group of servants and guards.
"Mrs. Li, what happened?"
"Miss Chuntang, this young master wants to take the little fool away."
"Young Master, I'm very sorry. If you're looking for a servant or a page boy, you can go to the matchmaker."
Wen Nuo spoke in an official tone as soon as he opened his mouth, "Sister, he and I have a good impression of each other, I want him, you name a price, and I will buy him."
"Sorry, sir, we don't sell it!"
Wen Nuo lowered his eyes and took another look at the scars all over the boy's body. "Is he a illegitimate child of your family?"
Chuntang said, "That's right, a family-born child is not for sale."
"Does that family get monthly stipend for having a child?"
"Of course there is."
Wen Nuo asked, "If that's the case, why did he have no money to fill his stomach, but instead had to steal food, and why is he covered in wounds?"
Chuntang frowned, "He must have done something wrong and was punished. Come on, quickly carry the little fool back."
"Wait a minute!"
"What? Is there anything else, young master?"
Wen Nuo glanced at the high wall behind Chun Tang and said, "I've remembered your mansion!"
Chuntang's face darkened. "What do you mean?"
A group of servants and guards behind Chuntang surrounded him!
Wen Nuo was accompanied by few guards, and there was no fear on his face. He stared at Chuntang without looking away.
Anyway, the other party doesn't know his background, so he can't lose in momentum!
"I have a liking for him. If I can't find him next time, or if he's beaten to death by some ignorant servant, I'll be known for mistreating my servants. I don't think your master would want to hear such rumors!"
Wen Nuo's tone was incredulous, with the look of a superior.
It's a psychological tactic that he uses, which was taught to him by his father through words and deeds.
Chuntang didn't expect that the person in front of him was not a normal person, but he threatened people as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Young Master, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. As long as he doesn't do anything wrong, no one would dare to hit him... Why don't you carry him back and ask the court doctor to treat his wounds?"
Chuntang glanced at Wen Nuo, turned around and left with his men.
Wen Nuo couldn't help but sigh as he watched the young man being carried away.
Well, just wish you good luck.
"Xiao Nuo, are you not scared?" Li Yuejiao was so nervous that her hands were sweating.
Wen Nuo's voice changed back to a Jiangnan accent as he spoke, "No, they don't know our background, they don't dare to do anything to me."
"Why are you meddling in this matter? Don't do such stupid things in the future. If you hit a wall, your Uncle Song won't be able to save you."
"Mother, I know, he's just too pitiful."
"There are so many pitiful people in the world. Helping them depends on our strength. This is not Yancheng, this is the capital!"
Wen Nuo: "I understand the truth. Actually, I didn't want to care. But when he looked up at me, I saw his eyes."
"What's wrong with his eyes? They're beautiful."
"He looks good. I seem to have seen him somewhere before, but I can't remember where. At that moment, I wanted to take him away."
Li Yuejiao patted his head. "That child should be able to go through some days without being beaten... Aunt Ping, tell Wen Wu and the others to be careful and not get targeted by that family just now."
"Mother is still thoughtful."
Li Yuejiao pinched his face and said, "You are still a little naive. The other party can't find out our background, and the child will not be beaten to death for the time being."
"Mother, can you let Dad take some people to sneak in and steal him away in a few days? He's so pitiful, his body is covered with wounds."
Li Yuejiao looked conflicted, "We'll discuss this later."
