"The group is here."

Zhao Chengyan loosened his neck and hugged the cat in front of him in his arms. Even though he was uncomfortable, there was a smile on his face. Coupled with his hoarse voice, Liu Yunqing felt even more distressed.

Liu Yunqing was extremely anxious and kept asking questions.

But Zhao Chengyan didn't mention how he was injured. He just untied the small cloth bag on her body and held the food she brought for him with a satisfied look on his face.

"Tuan'er really loves me. She never forgets to come back hunting when she goes out to play. Good Tuan'er, my husband will ask Mao'er to give you some change later. It's not easy to do business. You can't support my husband with your cute face."

Who is being cute and getting free food?

Zhao Chengyan's words made Liu Yunqing so angry that he stomped his feet. He was reluctant to hit him with his little paw pad, so he turned around and slapped Zhao Chengyan's face with his tail.

It was said to be a beating, but the furry tail sweeping across Zhao Chengyan's face seemed to be taking advantage of him.

Zhao Chengyan smiled with his eyes curved. As soon as he let out a soft laugh, he suddenly covered his lips with one hand and pinched his neck with the other hand and started coughing.

The suppressed cough seemed to hide a huge pain. Liu Yunqing had no time to get angry with him. He hurried over and rubbed Zhao Chengyan with his little head.

Mao'er just came in with medicine. When she heard what her husband was doing, she put down her work and patted and stroked Zhao Chengyan. It took a while for Zhao Chengyan to recover.

He moved his hand away from his lips, rinsed his mouth with the clean water handed to him by Mao'er, and spit into the basin.

Liu Yunqing quickly leaned over to take a look, and saw that the spitted water was stained pink by blood.

Zhao Chengyan coughed up blood!

It's worth it!

How many days do I have left to live if I'm coughing up blood?

It’s not like that in TV dramas. If you cough up blood, it means you have tuberculosis. No matter how many medicines you take, it’s useless. The disease slowly drains your body and you die in pain.

Liu Yunqing panicked. Zhao Chengyan was fine, so how could he be dying soon?

Why did God treat him like this? What did Zhao Chengyan do wrong to deserve such torture!

He had never had a good life since he was a child, and no one loved him. He finally grew up and gained some freedom, and had his beloved cat to keep him company, so why couldn't he survive!

Liu Yunqing looked at the blood in the basin and the smile Zhao Chengyan forced to comfort her, and her nose suddenly became sore.

Her heart ached badly and her vision became increasingly blurry. Zhao Chengyan just rubbed her head and she couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Sharp nails squeezed out from the claws, clinging tightly to Zhao Chengyan's shoulders, and hugging Zhao Chengyan's neck, unwilling to let go.

Zhao Chengyan let out a soft hissing breath.

Tuan'er's claws were sharp and penetrated his shirt and grabbed his shoulder.

I guess blood will be shed this time.

But not only did he not move the kitten away from his arms, but he hugged the little fur ball tightly, rubbing his cheek against the kitten's ears and head, and his big hands kept stroking the kitten that kept crying and trembling.

At this moment, he and his cat were in tune with each other.

Tuan'er feels sorry for him and feels sad for him!

Zhao Chengyan had never experienced the feeling of being loved by a human heart, let alone being loved by a cat.

It turns out that being loved is so wonderful, as if my chest is filled with something.

Tuan'er is so young, why did he get so much?

So much that it was about to overflow from his eyes.

"Tuan'er, my dear, your crying makes my husband feel sad."

Zhao Chengyan's throat hurt so much that he kept comforting her with a soft voice, being incredibly gentle.

"My dear, you are fine. You just scratched your lips and throat. It will be fine in three to five days. It's your fault for being careless. It would be fine if you suffered by yourself, but you made me feel bad. It's all my fault."

After hearing what Zhao Chengyan said, Liu Yunqing raised his head and held Zhao Chengyan's face with his little paws to look at him.

But the more she looked at him, the more haggard he looked. She refused to believe it, so she turned her head and meowed at Mao'er a few times, wanting to hear his explanation again.

Mao'er had no idea what a cat meant, but he couldn't help but refute his master's words.

"My dear, you have suffered such a great crime, and you still want to protect those people even when you are alone with Mrs. Tuan!"

"Mr. Qi is already eight years old this year, how can he still be ignorant! He took advantage of his favor to do all kinds of bad things. You are injured like this, but you see Madam Lu said a word of sympathy and patted Mr. Qi twice, thinking that she gave you an explanation. This is too bullying!"

Zhao Chengyan sighed softly: "Why are you talking to Tuan'er about this? She doesn't understand, and even if she does, it will only cause her trouble."

Mao'er was only fifteen years old, and he couldn't bear to see his master being wronged like this. He was so depressed that he simply squatted down and held Tuan Niang's little paws, unable to hold back his feelings.

After all, this matter is closely related to Zhao Chengyan's life experience.

Zhao Chengyan is the youngest child of Prince Runan and Lady Lu.

He is now nineteen years old. His older brothers and sisters have naturally started their own families. The sons not born to Madam Lu have all established their own families outside. Now, the only ones left by him are the eldest son and the twelfth son, born to Madam Lu.

Ever since Zhao Chengyan was taken away by the emperor, Madam Lu gave all the love she gave to Zhao Chengyan to Shi Erlang. Shi Erlang had been spoiled since he was a child, so naturally he couldn't bear to see anyone taking away the little love his mother had for him.

The first time Zhao Chengyan was abandoned by the emperor and sent back to the Prince's Mansion, the one who bullied him the most was his own brother, Shi Erlang.

Now Shi Erlang is in his twenties and is naturally much more stable than before. However, his son Qi Langjun has inherited all of his father's arrogance as a child, even more so than his father.

This naughty kid had heard all the grudges in his life, and he always disliked Zhao Chengyan. When they met for the first time, he said that his uncle was an outsider.

How could Zhao Chengyan be angry with a child? Who would have thought that his indifference made Qi Langjun even more excessive.

I won’t talk about the past, I’ll just talk about this time.

Mrs. Lu personally served tea to Zhao Chengyan, grinding the tea leaves, pouring the tea soup, whisking the tea... Mrs. Lu was an expert in serving tea. Her hands were skillful and she could also spare some time to chat with Zhao Chengyan.

However, before Zhao Chengyan could taste the tea, the Prince of Runan called him away to chat. When he left the table and didn't keep an eye on his tea bowl, something bad happened.

When Zhao Chengyan came back, he would have lunch with his mother. Not wanting to waste his mother's kindness, Zhao Chengyan prepared to drink the bowl of tea.

The green tea looks good, but it becomes bad once you drink it, and if you spit it out it turns into blood.

This tea had been tampered with. It was filled with sharp gravel, broken porcelain pieces smaller than a fingernail, and embroidery needles broken into several pieces.

Zhao Chengyan's larynx, palate, tongue, and inner walls of his lips were all injured. Who knows what else was added to the tea? Zhao Chengyan just felt numb and painful, and couldn't utter a word at the time.

The Prince of Runan and Madam Lu were originally furious and extremely concerned, but when they found out that it was Mr. Qi who did it, it was just a lot of noise but little action.

Qi Langjun cried and howled, unaware that he was being bullied, and the slaps on his back made no sound.

Zhao Chengyan saw it clearly.
