The stunning beauty is spoiled by the fast-wearing bosses
Chapter 24: The Pretty Little Palace Maid and the Heirless King (24)
Taiwei Mansion.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!..." The howls, one louder than the other, echoed throughout the Taiwei Mansion.
"Oh! My son!" Mother Wu hugged her son tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Let the doctor bandage you first. Don't worry. When your father comes back, he will definitely help you get revenge!"
"Mother! I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!"
The doctor bandaged Wu Yibo's wound carefully.
"Ah, do you know how to do it? Get out of here." The doctor was kicked to the ground by Wu Yibo.
Mother Wu said distressedly, "Can't you be gentler? You hurt the young master. Do you want to continue?"
The doctor patted the dust off his body, feeling resentful and helpless, "I understand, ma'am. I will be more gentle."
As soon as General Wu entered the room, he heard the servant's report and hurried to his youngest son's yard. He heard wailing sounds from a distance.
He took two quick steps and saw the doctor bandaging his son's arm. He quickly asked his wife, "What's going on?"
Mother Wu wiped her tears and said, "Master, please come back. You see, Uncle Yi was beaten so badly that his arm is almost broken."
When Wu Yibo saw his father coming back, he immediately explained what had happened, adding fuel to the fire.
Wu Taiwei frowned, "What do you think the name of that scholar is?"
"My name is Yan Bin."
"Yan Bin, what does his family do?"
"It seems like his family runs a furniture store."
"Where's the man who hit you?"
"It's covered so tightly that I don't even know what it looks like."
"So, what's so special about this Yan Bin?"
Wu Yibo thought for a moment and said, "I heard from my classmates that his brother-in-law seems to be working in the palace."
Wu Taiwei narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is working in the palace?"
Wu Yibo shook his head. "Isn't the most powerful official in the palace the guard leader Yan Haochen? I haven't heard that he got married, so it shouldn't be him. I don't care. Dad, you have to avenge me. Don't let your son be beaten in vain."
Wu Taiwei looked at his youngest son's hanging arm with distressed eyes, "Don't worry, wait until I have investigated thoroughly. Whether it is Yan Bin's family or his brother-in-law's family, I will not let them have an easy time."
The secret guard who was waiting at the Wu family smacked his lips when he heard this.
At night, Yan Xue was sleeping and suddenly woke up. She sat up with cold sweat all over her head.
Xiahou Li also woke up, looked at the girl's pale face and said worriedly, "What's wrong, Xue'er?"
Yan Xue shook her head. "It's okay. I just had a nightmare."
Xiahou Li held the girl in his arms and said, "Dreams are always the opposite of what they actually are. Don't worry."
"No, I have to go back to Qingshui Street tomorrow."
Xiahou Li's eyelids jumped. He didn't tell Xue'er what happened yesterday afternoon because he was afraid she would worry. Unexpectedly...
"I have someone watching over Qingshui Street. It's okay, don't worry."
Yan Xue shook her head and said, "No, I'm very nervous. I won't feel at ease if I don't go back to check."
Xiahou Li sighed in his heart, but still said lovingly, "Then I will go back with you after the court session tomorrow."
Yan Xue nodded, and Xiahou Li embraced the girl and continued to lie back on the bed.
Yan Xue recalled the scene in her dream, in which her fourth brother’s leg was broken by someone, and she couldn’t sleep for a long time.
Xiahou Li also sensed the girl's uneasiness and quickly coaxed her, "Xue'er, be good. I'll pat you. Go to sleep quickly. The baby in your belly also needs to sleep."
Yan Xue said "hmm" and lay obediently in Xiahou Li's arms, who patted her back from time to time.
"Sing me a song."
Xiahou Li's expression cracked for a moment, but he still hummed softly, "Cross your legs for three years. Subdue dragons and tigers, tie up horses and apes. Heart like water, breath like cotton. Don't be a god, be a saint..."
Xiahou Li watched the girl finally fall asleep and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had foresight and sent secret guards to the Yan family. Otherwise, he dared not think that the Wu family was very good.
The next day, after Xiahou Li left the court, he returned to Qingshui Street with Yan Xue.
Mother Yan was extremely happy to see her daughter and son-in-law coming back. "Xiaoxue, A Li, you're back. I just learned a new dish yesterday. I'll make it for you two today."
"Mother, please stop being busy. A-Li is busy, so we'll just come and take a look. We have to be back before noon."
Mother Yan was disappointed for a moment, then smiled again, "Okay, I know that my son-in-law is busy. Come, come in and sit down. This is the cake that the fourth son bought yesterday. I tried it and it tastes pretty good. You can try it."
Yan Xue picked up the pastry handed to her by her mother and took a bite. It was soft and crispy, indeed good.
Seeing that the girl liked the food, Xiahou Li quickly said, "Like it? Then we'll go buy some later."
Yan Xue nodded with a smile on her face. Seeing that her daughter and son-in-law had such a good relationship, Yan's mother felt relieved. "Xiaoxue, how are you? The early stages of pregnancy are not easy."
"Don't worry, mother. A-li has found several maids to take care of me. They are doing very well."
Mother Yan looked at Xiahou Li and hesitated to speak.
Yan Xue noticed that her mother looked unhappy and asked hurriedly, "Mother, what's wrong?"
Mother Yan said to Xiahou Li uncomfortably, "Ah Li, I know we are a peasant family and may not be worthy of your family. We have been married for several months and we have not even met our in-laws. Is our Xiaoxue...a wife or...a concubine?"
After saying this, Yan's mother lowered her head. Xiahou Li was about to explain when Yan Xue quickly said, "Mother, you're overthinking it. It must be my wife. She suddenly got pregnant, and A Li said that she would hold a big celebration after the birth. Don't you think so, A Li?"
Xiahou Li looked at the girl's eyes and quickly said, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, Xue'er is right, we will definitely have a big event in the future."
When Yan's mother heard this, she felt reassured.
"Mother, is everything okay at home? Where's Fourth Brother?"
"He went to the library today."
"Don't you have to go to the academy today?"
"Well, something seemed to have happened at the academy yesterday, so he asked for leave today."
"what's up?"
"How would I know? Besides, it's other people's business. I don't care about their business."
Mother Yan looked at her son-in-law's face and didn't dare to say anything. The fourth son came back yesterday and told her everything.
Yan Xue nodded, as long as she was okay, "Where are father and brother?"
"They are both busy in the furniture store. Business has been good recently and both of them are too busy to handle it. They hired a new assistant a few days ago."
Yan Xue nodded, Cui Xi stepped forward and handed a small box to Yan Xue, who stuffed the small box into her mother's hands, "Mother, these are the deeds to the ten shops. Each shop has a manager.
You don't have to worry about it. Just let Dad go to the shops when he has time."
Mother Yan felt her hand being burned. "Ten shops, how can this be possible?"
"Mother, these are A Li's betrothal gifts, please take them."
Xiahou Li also said, "Mother, take it. There are still many betrothal gifts. I was in a hurry today, so I took this much first. I will give you more later."
Mother Yan was so delighted by Xiahou Li calling her "mother" that she said, "Okay, okay, I'll keep it."
