Ninety-eight
After Xiao Weiming left, You Shu carefully asked him, "Do you really think so?"
Xiao Weixin snorted and threw the book on the table. "If we don't kill him, how can we start a family in the future?"
"So you don't object?" You Shu was surprised. "You don't mind Xiaoyue'er's background?"
"Of course I do mind." Xiao Weixin snorted again, very unhappy, "I had planned to choose a good marriage for him after I ascend the throne, a virtuous lady from a noble family, to repay the care that Concubine Shu gave my mother and me."
"But he was so stubborn that he insisted on falling in love with a girl who came from a brothel."
At this point, he seemed to remember the relationship between You Shu and Xiao Yue'er, and his tone softened again, "Xiao Shu, I don't really look down on her. She is a good kid, but it's a pity that she has a bad background."
You Shu certainly understood what he meant. He could not blame him from any angle. Even in modern society, which is open and civilized, most people still look down on women who come out of nightclubs. What's more, they are royal relatives with such noble status. Even commoners are not worthy of mention in their eyes, let alone the lowest class.
"I know." You Shu nodded. "She also told me about this a few days ago and asked me to find a way to return the bracelet."
"What bracelets?" Xiao Weixin frowned, "Could it be the pair that Concubine Shu entrusted to him before she died?"
You Shu shook his head: "I don't know, but the material looks really good, so it must have cost a lot of money."
"That bastard!" Xiao Weixin cursed, "He is so disappointing!"
You Shu was injured and not at home during that time, so he didn't know what happened in just two months. "How did they like him?"
"Xiao Yue'er is a good girl, but she is by no means a rare beauty. The King of Qin is considered to have seen the world, so how could he fall in love with her so quickly?"
Xiao Weixin frowned, "Who can explain clearly what's going on between men and women? Besides, they are both in their teens, so they are young and frivolous. Maybe Weiming was just having fun for a while and will forget about it after a while."
You Shu was silent. Xiao Weixin noticed that he was in a low mood and hurriedly said, "What I said just now was just to provoke him. If he really likes Xiao Yue'er, he will definitely be willing to fight for her. But if he is really indecisive, don't worry, I will find a way to find her a good family in the future and will never let her suffer any injustice."
"Thank you." You Shu said softly, "I'm just afraid that Xiaoyue has already fallen into it."
One of them is only fifteen years old, and the other is only seventeen. They are both still immature, and it is hard to say what the future will be like. What if Xiao Weiming is really just in a spur of the moment? It is easy for him to withdraw, but what about Xiaoyue
You Shu was always worried in his heart. In this world, Xiaoyue was the only girl he couldn't let go of. It was not only because she looked very similar to his own sister, but also because after so long, he had really put her in his heart.
What's more, Xiaoyue'er has no relatives. Apart from himself, there is probably no one else in the world who can support and speak for her. Unconsciously, he has regarded Xiaoyue'er as his responsibility.
"Don't worry, I will handle this properly." Xiao Weixin couldn't bear to see him worry, "Don't worry, your health is already not good, if you worry about it any more..."
You Shu came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's okay."
Forget it, let it all depend on fate. This kind of thing is definitely not something he can control.
In the next few days, Xiao Weixin was busy outside almost all day long, and You Shu could only see him at night. However, he had no complaints. At this critical juncture, Xia Maoan was being suppressed step by step. If he could not help, he must not fall behind.
While he was away from home, You Shu began to try physical training with the help of Hua Chun.
"Sir, you can't be blind about this kind of thing. You must take it slowly." Hua Chun helped him stand up from the wheelchair little by little and let him lean on the railing under the corridor. "Don't think too much."
You Shu knew her good intentions, and he held on to the railing tightly, trying hard to stand up straight, but he really couldn't feel his legs. No matter how hard he tried to imagine the feeling of his legs supporting the ground, his legs seemed to be frozen and motionless, as if they were not his.
"I know."
He actually understood that Hua Chun was just comforting him, but he just didn't want to admit it. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, You Shu was unwilling to give up just like that.
"Miss Huachun, can you... let me try it myself?"
After hearing his request, Hua Chun hesitated and let go of her hand, then quietly took two steps to the side, her eyes full of worry.
Without Hua Chun's support, You Shu could only rely on the railing to maintain his standing posture. Most of his strength was concentrated on his wrists, but even with the railing, he still couldn't stand steadily, let alone try to take a step.
He stretched out his left hand and carefully moved his right leg forward, moving forward bit by bit. His right hand trembled slightly because of supporting the weight of his whole body. Sweat covered his forehead, gradually wetting his clothes on the back.
The weather was getting cooler, but You Shu didn't feel the cold. It was only a few steps away, but he felt as if he had walked 8,000 meters and was so tired that he was shivering and sweating.
Hua Chun was a little worried and wanted to go forward to help him several times, but she stopped herself. She knew how strong the self-esteem of this young man was. If he did not seek help from her and she went forward without permission, he might be secretly sad.
You Shu couldn't take more than a few steps before he fell down.
Huachun's heart was beating in her throat, and she didn't know whether she should move forward.
"stand up."
Another cold voice sounded behind them, and You Shu recognized it as Lord Shadow Chief.
He was naturally obedient to the words of the Shadow Chief, and he instinctively grabbed the railing and climbed up desperately, with veins popping out of his hands. Hua Chun finally couldn't help but took a step forward to help him, but was stopped by Xie Feiyuan: "Don't go."
"he can."
Although Xie Feiyuan's voice was cold, his eyes revealed infinite sadness. He looked casual with his hands behind his back, but a closer look revealed that his hands were clenched tightly, betraying his extremely nervous mood at the moment.
Although it took a long time, You Shu finally managed to stand up on his own. He leaned against the railing and turned back to smile at Xie Feiyuan: "Master Yingshou, I have lived up to your expectations."
"Yeah." Xie Feiyuan stood there and looked at him straight, "You have never let me down."
He paused, took a few steps forward, and personally helped You Shu walk back to the wheelchair and sit down. His gentle movements were very inconsistent with his cold and serious face. "Didn't the prince give you anything to eat? How come you are thinner than before?"
"As light as a woman."
You Shu was placed in a wheelchair. Hua Chun took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. Hearing this, he replied, "It may be winter. All the food I eat is to resist the cold."
"Nonsense." Xie Feiyuan frowned, "I guess you have a poor appetite, right?"
You Shu didn't reply.
"I will chop off Xia Maoan's head myself someday!" Xie Feiyuan gnashed with hatred, "It's a pity that Xia Huaizhang died so easily, otherwise I would have cut both father and son into pieces!"
You Shu listened helplessly to his angry words, knowing that he was just speaking up for him, "How come Master Yingshou is free today?"
"I can't come to see you?" Xie Feiyuan was dissatisfied and pushed him forward. "The prince is busy outside, and it's boring for you to stay here alone. I came to see if you are lazy."
You Shu couldn't help but laugh, "Master Yingshou, I think the prince learned his arrogant personality from you, didn't he?"
Xie Feiyuan didn't understand what he said, so he just thought he was talking nonsense, "You are the only one in the whole camp who dares to talk to me like that."
The two walked and chatted, and before they knew it, half of the day had passed.
Someone came to visit, but did not say that he wanted to see Xiao Weixin, but only said that he wanted to see You Shu.
You Shu was puzzled, and when he followed Xie Feiyuan out, he saw Su Tu in the front hall.
There were only two months left before the Chinese New Year, so why did this male second come over? "Your Highness?"
Su Tu was sitting with his legs crossed while drinking tea, still disdaining the stinginess of the Central Plains people. When he heard his voice, he turned around and waved with a smile: "Little beauty~"
Xie Feiyuan threw two flying knives back, almost scratching Su Tu's face, "Ah! Why do you people from the Central Plains attack at the slightest provocation!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I will destroy you." Xie Feiyuan said coldly, "If you have anything to say, just say it. My prince is not here."
Su Tu curled his lips and sat back down with a dissolute look on his face. He could still continue to tease You Shu, with a shameless face that was outrageous: "I won't look for him. That person has a good appearance, but it's a pity that no one can stand his temper."
"If you were to follow me, my beauty, you would not have to suffer these things."
You Shu sighed deeply and held down Xie Feiyuan's hand that was about to cut off his tongue. "What's the matter, Your Highness? You didn't come here just to scold my prince?"
"Of course I really have something to do." Su Tu calmly held his chin and looked at You Shu.
Su Tu is really good-looking, especially his pair of yin-yang eyes, which make him look evil. He is definitely the male protagonist in a comic book. If he were put into real life, countless girls would like him, and he has the capital to be arrogant.
It's a pity that You Shuxin already has someone, and now she thinks no one is as good as her prince.
"What is it? My prince is not here, and there is no one to discuss it with you." You Shu thought to himself about the purpose of his visit, wondering what he wanted to discuss with him.
Na Sutu smiled mysteriously, leaned closer and said, "If I say I have medicine that can make you better, the price is that you follow me in the future, what will you do?"
You Shu was stunned.
"Don't disbelieve me." Su Tu was very arrogant, and he looked like he deserved a beating. "Just because you people in the Central Plains don't have good medicine doesn't mean we in the Western Rong don't have it either."
"Would you like to think about it carefully?"
Xie Feiyuan stood up, drew the sword from his waist and said coldly: "He doesn't need to choose. If His Highness really has something that good, I won't be polite!"
Na Su Tu, who wanted to continue teasing, was nearly hacked to death by Xie Feiyuan. He angrily said, "You people from the Central Plains, can you please have some moral principles!"
"I don't care about that." Xie Feiyuan looked at him coldly, "If you really have the medicine, either leave it here or leave your head behind."
You Shu looked at Na Su Tu who was still cursing and sighed silently.
How could there be someone like Su Tu in the world? He is so mean and pretentious, he really deserves a beating.
