Chapter 70

The blood on Zhao Xitai’s face faded, and his face was extremely pale.

“I came with all my heart, and you did this to me?” he murmured. “If I don’t do it, will you kill me?”

Mu Fulan stared at him.

“Prince, I didn’t intend to target you, but I have to make a decision for Mother Xie. You’d better find a way to bring her here. If you have no way, I can only hand you over to Xie Changgeng.”

Zhao Xitai looked at her fixedly, motionless.

“Brother, take the prince to rest.” She turned to Yuan Handing, “Let me know when he comes up with a solution.”

As her childhood playmate in the palace, when he calmed down, he would soon realize that his father would be very angry at Changsha for detaining his son, but he would never try to get his son back. At this time, the army launched a long-distance attack.

In the last war, although his father could not occupy Shangjing for a long time, with this victory, he quickly expanded his territory and occupied almost half of the country in Hedong. The newly proclaimed emperor of Qi should be busy consolidating the eastern capital at this moment in order to cope with the attacks that Xie Changgeng launches at any time, so how could he be distracted to deal with Changsha?

And Zhao Xitai, if he wants to stabilize his position, he must go back as soon as possible. Unless he gives up everything now.

He turned his face almost stubbornly, looked at her, his steps were stiff, and when he walked out step by step, this lost figure made Mu Fulan feel a little pity in his heart.

But this sympathy soon disappeared.

At this point, whether it is Zhao Xitai, who was born as Prince Qi, or the princess of Changsha, everyone is in the game. Who can do whatever they want?

She knew that Zhao Xitai would not let her wait too long.

In the middle of the night, a car covered in green felt entered from the north gate of Yuecheng. The wheel of the car ran over the flat gravel road and galloped away in the direction of the palace.

The next morning, a door opened.

Mu Fulan walked in.

Zhao Xitai sat cross-legged on the couch in the room, with his eyes closed, as if he was in meditation.

Mu Fulan took the pulse for him, and after a while, he withdrew his hand and took out a prescription.

“After you go back, follow this recipe to take care of yourself, and your body will recover.”

“Your people are waiting for you outside the North City Gate. I won’t send them off.”

She put the recipe in his hand.

As she walked to the door, she heard a voice behind her.

“Master Weng, this time, if I can count what I say, will you still be so honest with me?”

Mu Fulan stopped and turned his head slowly.

Zhao Xitai got off the couch and walked towards her.

“I don’t blame you at all. Your brother is gone, I know it’s not easy for you.”

He stopped in front of her and stared at her, his eyes very gentle.

“Your concerns are right, my father, he really can’t believe it. How could you put the safety of your people on his promise?”

“It’s also because of you that I know better what I should do in the future.”

He carefully took the recipe she gave him into his arms.

“I went. When one day, Zhao Xitai can talk enough, I will come back to find you.”

He gave her a deep look, as if imprinting the face in front of him into his mind, turned around and stepped out of the door, rushing away.

A maid came to report and said that after the old lady arrived last night, the situation was not very good.

Mu Fulan arrived at the place where Xie’s mother temporarily stayed. She walked through the courtyard and came to the door. Before she entered, she heard the sound of dishes shattering in the room, followed by a humming and groaning sound. come out.

“Who the **** are you who brought me here again, what do you want to do… If you don’t let me go back, wait for my son to kill you, so that you can look good…”

Mu Fulan stopped outside the threshold and looked in.

Mother Xie was lying on the bed, her hair was messy, her complexion was pale and haggard.

A maid was squatting on the ground and was cleaning up the bowl that had just been smashed. When she looked up, she saw Mu Fulan and called out “Old Master”.

When Mother Xie heard this, she opened her eyes as if she had been pricked by a needle.

She turned her face and stared at Mu Fulan outside the door for a while. At first, I couldn’t believe my eyes, so I rubbed it. Finally, she seemed to have regained her senses, shouted “Ms. Mu”, and got up.

It was only because the person was too weak that he sat up, rolled his eyes, and with a thud, he fell back and fainted.

The servants and maids behind Mu Fulan hurried in, pinching people among people, and filling ginseng soup with ginseng soup. After a while, Mother Xie gradually regained her breath, opened her eyes, and murmured: “How could it be you? Where is this place? Did Geng’er save me and put me in your place? What about others? Why haven’t you come to see me?”

“Old Madam, this is our country of Changsha! Lord Xie is not here! Our Lord Weng rescued you from King Qi!” The maid Zhu Yu replied.

“Also, our Lord Weng and Lord Xie have nothing to do with each other now!”

The maid still remembers the loss that Weng Zhu suffered in front of this old lady when she first married to Xie County. She was dissatisfied and couldn’t help saying another sentence.

Mother Xie was stunned, her eyes were dull, and suddenly, as if someone had been pricked by a needle, she trembled and shouted “Ms. Mu”, her eyes turned red, and tears fell.

“What this girl said is true? No! Geng’er can’t let you go! It’s all my fault. I used to be blind, so why can’t I look down on you. I’m sorry for you…”

With snot and tears, the old lady began to tell how she was taken away that day.

“…My son’s people want to pick me up. I thought that she saved me in the past. Before leaving, I took a look at her. She said that she didn’t want to marry and could not serve me. She would rather shave her hair and be a sister-in-law. , I took her on the road, but I didn’t expect her to coax me…”

She grabbed Mu Fulan’s hand.

“Now I know that you are the best! Good girl, don’t worry, you saved me, and when I see my son, I will ask him to withdraw the divorce letter. You are still the daughter-in-law of my Xie family, you and He He Live beautifully and give birth to a grandson for me…”

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered, wiped away her tears, and looked at Mu Fulan.

“Where’s my good grandson? Is he all right? You bring him quickly, let me take a good look! I saw him at the racecourse last year, and I knew at a glance that it must be the blood of my Xie family. That small appearance, Exactly the same as his father when he was a child. He is cute and handsome! He must have grown a lot taller, right? Poor my grandson, who has grown so big and has not yet returned to the ancestors…”

The maids and maids looked at each other, thinking that Mother Xie was overly frightened and confused, and was talking nonsense in front of Master Weng.

“What are you still doing, hurry up!”

The old lady was still very sick just now, but now she seems to be in good spirits suddenly, she got up from the bed, looked around, and kept urging.

Mu Fulan was also a little confused when she heard what Mother Xie said to herself, which seemed to be Xi’er. Seeing her excited expression, she ordered everyone around her to go out and said, “Old Madam Xie, when you feel better, I will send someone to send you back to your son, that’s all. I am not thanking you anymore. My daughter-in-law, I have no intention of doing this in the future, so don’t get me wrong.”

Mother Xie was stunned and stared at Mu Fulan blankly.

“You’re not coming back?” she murmured. “Could it be that you’re still worried? I won’t embarrass you any more in the future. I’ll call my son to be nice to you…”

“Old Madam, you can rest in peace. If you feel uncomfortable or need something, tell the maid.”

Mu Fulan didn’t want to say more and turned to leave, but Mother Xie grabbed her sleeve.

“What about my grandson? It’s the child named Xi’er that you raised in front of you! You asked me to take him back with you!”

Mu Fulan patiently said, “Old madam, Xi’er is my adopted child and has nothing to do with your Xie family. Don’t think too much about it, madam.”

“No! Don’t lie to me! My son told me personally, that child is the son you gave birth to in his early years! It’s just inconvenient to bring it back, so I’ve been keeping it by your side!”

Mu Fulan was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and took off her sleeves.

“He’s talking nonsense, don’t take it seriously.”

The Mu’s daughter in front of her today, although she spoke politely, her cold heart and heartlessness made Mother Xie dare not make trouble again.

This is the country of Changsha again. I am alone and without support. In addition, I have been frightened by the previous period of time. How can I dare to show my prestige like before.

The old lady came out of grief and cried: “That child is obviously the grandson of my Xie family, and he looks exactly like my son when he was young! It doesn’t matter if you don’t come back, I won’t force it, but if you are a mother, let this child grow up cruelly. No father, if you don’t pay back my grandson, I won’t leave, it’s a big deal to die here!”

Her cry was a bit loud, and the voice came out, and the maids and maids outside should also hear it.

Facing her former mother-in-law, this unreasonable old woman, Mu Fulan felt a helpless feeling caught off guard. At the same time, there seemed to be another thin nameless fire in the bottom of my heart.

It is impossible for that person to know the previous relationship. In this world, only she knows. She really didn’t understand why that person had to admit this kind of thing in front of his mother, so as to cause such an unexpected trouble.

She just wanted to exchange people back and send them away as soon as she took care of her body.

“Old lady, don’t cry.”

A child’s voice came from outside the door.

Xi’er stepped over the threshold, walked in, stopped beside Mu Fulan, and bowed to Mother Xie.

Mother Xie stopped crying, looked at Xier with wide eyes, a smile slowly appeared on her face, and hurriedly climbed down from the couch, without wearing her shoes, she rushed over, side by side. Touching his little face, he said, “My dear grandson, he has grown so tall! Call me grandma!” The more he looked, the more he fell in love, and he hugged the child in his arms and hugged him tightly, no Ken let go.

Xi’er let her hold herself without struggling, and said, “Old Madam, my mother didn’t lie to you. I grew up in a temple when I was born, and I met my mother later. Master Xie is not my father.”

Mother Xie was taken aback, looked at Mu Fulan, and whispered, “Don’t listen to her coaxing you! Your father told your grandmother that you are his son.”

Xi’er shook her head: “Old Madam, if you don’t believe it, take care of your illness earlier. When you go back, see Lord Xie and ask again, won’t you know?”

Mother Xie looked at the child in her arms, hesitated for a while, then turned to Mu Fulan and said, “Forget it, my grandson will stay with you first. You can send me back soon! Don’t think about it when I ask it clearly. Take my grandson!”

Mu Fulan led Xi’er out and walked silently for a while.

Xi’er looked up at her and said, “Mother, are you blaming me?” He hesitated.

“I see that you are too tired these days, you have lost a lot of weight, and you can’t sleep at night. I want to help you.”

Mu Fulan’s heart surged with warmth, and suddenly she felt as if her whole body was full of strength again.

“You did a great job. You did your mother a big favor!”

she smiled.
