Madam Xu sighed, caressed her son's head lovingly, and whispered, "Good boy, you are so sensible, but mother loves you even more."
Xu Rui lay on the bed and couldn't help laughing: "My son's son is almost old enough to get married, why do you always treat me like a child? Don't worry, it's just a flesh wound, it will heal after some rest, it's not like Su Rong, who will never be able to stand up again in his life."
Speaking of Su Rong, the smile on Xu Rui's face instantly disappeared. With a sinister and terrifying look in his eyes, he said coldly: "He is just a useless person!"
After all, Zhang Linghui's previous incident still cast a shadow on Xu Rui.
Madam Xu knew that her son cared most about his reputation, so she hurriedly and gently coaxed him, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this. He is a useless person who can't stand up. He is about the same age as you. As you said, your son will soon be able to get married, but what about him? He can't even settle down a marriage. In the future, he won't even have a husband. It's a loss of status to argue with a useless person like him!"
So what if everyone sympathizes with Su Rong now
A truly strong man will never want others to sympathize with him, but only want others to envy him.
Xu Yonghong came back to his senses from his thoughts and just in time heard Mrs. Xu's last words, and he coughed lightly.
Xu Rui immediately responded: "Don't worry, mom. If I still treat a piece of trash like that, wouldn't that be me being stupid?"
Seeing that her son really didn't care much about Su Rong, Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief, patted her son's head, and assured him that she was also assuring herself: "Don't worry, you will get rid of this anger eventually."
Xu Rui smiled and turned to look at his father: "Dad, how is the matter going? Is it going smoothly?"
Xu Yonghong did not hide anything from his son. He shook his head, frowned, and told him about Lai Weiqi: "He was really smart. We couldn't kill him."
Before Madam Xu could say anything, Xu Rui said, "That won't do! If he is forced into a corner, it will be even more disadvantageous to us. Father, we must root out the grass before we can rest assured."
Xu Yonghong naturally knew this truth, so he told his son not to worry too much. He nodded and said, "I understand. Just take good care of your health first and don't worry about these things."
After talking for a while, Madam Xu suddenly said, "By the way, Princess Zhuang sent someone to say that the local specialties from Yunnan that we sent to her tasted good..."
Xu Yonghong has always trusted his wife's ability to handle these matters, and nodded casually: "You make your own decision. You still have to be careful with the princess. After all, she is of noble status now."
She is pregnant with Emperor Yuanfeng's first grandson, which is so precious.
Mrs. Xu nodded.
Lai Weiqi returned home in a state of shock. Even when his subordinates wanted to call a doctor for him, he fearfully refused.
In this situation, he just felt terrified.
They dared to seduce him and then take his life...
Because the distance was too far, although the arrow hit him, the injury was not very serious. In addition, Lai Weiqi was a Jinyiwei, so it was not difficult for him to deal with these injuries. Therefore, he poured strong liquor on the wound, bandaged it, and then leaned on the bed with lifeless eyes looking at the tent above his head.
This was the first time in his life that he felt so embarrassed.
Even when he was a poor boy, at least he didn't have to worry about losing his head. But now, his head seemed to be shaking as if it was not on his neck, which made him very uneasy.
So much so that he waited until the next morning, when his subordinates came to deliver breakfast, but he still didn't let anyone in.
His injuries were quite serious, and he hadn't eaten for a day and a night. In fact, he was already very hungry. But when he saw the food on the table, he just wanted to bend over and vomit, and couldn't eat a single bite.
The servants were afraid of him and did not dare to persuade them. When it was time to collect the dishes, they silently disposed of the things that had been left untouched. However, this time, before they could even leave the room, they were knocked off balance by Wen Jinxian who suddenly broke in.
Wen Jinxian was Lai Weiqi's confidant. When he entered the room, Lai Weiqi was startled, and then asked, "What's wrong?"
It's like a ghost is chasing me.
Wen Jinxian was out of breath and hurriedly called out to his master: "Something happened. I got the news. Someone from Shuntian Prefecture said they want to arrest you..."
What?!
Lai Weiqi was already worried about the assassination attempt. Those people wanted to kill him, but he had escaped here. He didn't know whether to run away or not, when someone from Shuntian Prefecture came
He suddenly felt a pain in his chest. He covered his chest and felt as if a heavy burden was pressing on him. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even straighten his waist. He asked in a cold voice, "Why?!"
Wen Jinxian knew that he was panicking after hearing such a question. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "I only know that a girl died in the alley near Wong Tai Sin Temple yesterday... Someone said that they saw you at her house..."
Lai Weiqi's heart skipped a beat and his mind went blank.
The incident happened to him near Wong Tai Sin Temple yesterday and he was almost killed.
Now it seems obvious that those people did not kill him, but deliberately created this case to frame him. Once he enters Shuntian Prefecture, he will become a fish at the mercy of others, and his life will be in danger.
He jumped up without even caring about the wound on his shoulder.
Wen Jinxian was also very anxious. He followed Lai Weiqi and was Lai Weiqi's confidant. If anything happened to Lai Weiqi, he would not be able to escape the connection.
Seeing that Lai Weiqi had no idea, he hurriedly said, "Why not..."
There is nothing worse than that. They want him to die. He will die without even a chance to speak once he enters Shuntian Prefecture. Lai Weiqi showed resentment on his face and ordered Wen Jinxian without saying a word: "You go to the front and stop them first. I can't just surrender like this. Once I go in and something happens to me, you will be finished too. On the contrary, if I run away, they will be worried about me, and you may be fine!"
No matter how Wen Jinxian heard this, he felt that something was not right, but now the situation was urgent and he could not care less. He sighed and watched Lai Weiqi quickly endure the pain, changed into a servant's clothes, and walked out of the room.
He gritted his teeth and hurried out with his men to stop them.
Wang, the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture, smiled and asked in a friendly manner whether Lai Weiqi, a servant of the Lai family, was at home.
Wen Jinxian arrived in time and practiced Tai Chi with Wang Tuiguan. Wang Tuiguan looked at Wen Jinxian with a half-smile and found many excuses before saying, "Captain Wen, we are all here to do our job. You should also understand that we are also following orders. Please move your feet and make things easier for each other."
