Doctor Xianggong, the goddess of poisonous belly

Chapter 46 Reluctance

Xiaoping did not dare to continue, but guessed from her words that if Prince Yi knew that she, a woman, dared to entertain guests in the front hall, the consequences would be disastrous, so Xiaoping continued, as if telling Dongnuan a story It sounded like she was speaking to herself, "Nubi, I can't invite Mrs. Shizi to the front hall in order to stay in the mansion. I can't do this. Madam! So, so Madam, you should go back to the yard! Just pretend that you haven’t heard anything from the servant!”

After Xiaoping finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at Dong Nuan's story, she just lowered her head deeply, her father taught her that a person can't harm others for the sake of herself, she must never do harm to others!It is clear that Mrs. Shizi did nothing wrong!

Unexpectedly, after listening to Xiaoping's courageous words, Dong Nuan just looked at her twice, then walked around her side and continued on.

Xiaoping was startled, turned around without thinking for a moment, grabbed Dong Nuangu's arm, and said in a begging tone: "Mrs. Shizi, you really can't go!"

Because of Xiaoping's action, Dong Nuan's eyes fell on her again. This time she noticed that Xiaoping's neck and the back of his hands were covered with bruises, which were left behind after being pinched hard. There are traces on the back of her hands and neck, so it is conceivable that such blood stasis on her body will not be less. Dongnuan's eyes sank slightly, and Xiaoping realized that she had greatly exceeded the rules. He hurriedly let go of his hand, and apologized frequently: "I'm sorry Ma'am! This slave didn't mean it, this slave didn't mean it!"

The answer to Xiaoping was still silence, and it could only be silence. When Xiaoping apologized frequently, a soft hand patted her shoulder lightly.

Shocked, Xiaoping raised her head suddenly, only to see Dongnuangu smiled at her, withdrew her hand, and continued to move forward.

Xiaoping couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, the whole person was frozen in place as if petrified, just staring blankly at Dong Nuan Gu's back going further and further away, until Dong Nuan Gu's back disappeared from her sight for a long time, she suddenly When she regained her senses, she wanted to catch up and stop Dongnuangu, but she felt that it was too late. She was so nervous and remorseful that she was at a loss, and she murmured to herself: "What to do, what to do, I will harm Mrs. Shizi, I don't want to hurt anyone, what should I do..."

"That's right! Shizi! Go find Shizi!" Xiaoping muttered as if suddenly remembering something, and ran away.

Outside King Yi's Mansion, Jingping Street.

Si Jixia arrived at Chengxiang Cloth Village according to what was written on the Dongnuan old paper, and glanced at the plaque on the lintel, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes, he lowered the hood on his head even more, and walked in.

At this time, there wasn't much business in the cloth shop, so Si Jixia stepped over the threshold, and the shopkeeper greeted him enthusiastically, "Guest officer, what do you need? Do you want to pull the cloth or cut the clothes?" ?”

People in Qingbi County only knew that the son of King Yi was disabled and weak, and he was not favored by Lord Yi. Few people knew what he looked like. , let alone the common people, and no one has ever cared about what he looks like. How many people would care about a nominal heir who is so weak that he can only live with soup and medicine all day long?
Even though Si Jixia often went out of the mansion, almost no one knew that he was the son of King Yi. One reason was that he would wear a cloak whenever he appeared in front of people. Pay attention to whether there is a complete body under the cloak of a passer-by and a stranger. The second reason is that every time he goes out of the house, he will pull up the hood on the cloak and seldom talk to people. No one knew that he was the son of King Yi.

In the eyes of everyone, King Yi's son is just a sick man who doesn't know how many years he can live. How can a sick man come out and jump frequently if he can't lie on the bed properly?Even the people in King Yi's mansion saw Si Jixia leaving the mansion, thinking in their hearts whether this son would not be able to come back after walking outside, people like him should stay in the medicine and not come out. yes.

Not to mention the people outside, even the people in King Yi's mansion who don't know what King Yi's son looks like, there are still many people there.

Therefore, the shopkeeper didn't know who Si Jixia was, he just regarded him as an ordinary customer, but he didn't look like someone who would pull cloth or tailor clothes from his clothes, but his intuition told him that such a customer It must not be neglected.

Si Jixia looked around the cloth shop for a week and said calmly, "I'm not tearing cloth or cutting clothes, I'm just here to fetch things."

"Take something?" The shopkeeper answered, "May I ask what the guest officer is taking?"

"I don't know what it is. I was entrusted to pick it up. It belongs to a girl surnamed Dong. She came to order from you three days ago." Si Jixia pulled the hood down very low, and the shopkeeper didn't look at it. He could see his face clearly, but his voice was cold and without much warmth.

"A girl surnamed Dong?" The shopkeeper frowned slightly as he thought about it, and then he let out a long laugh and said, "The guest officer is talking about a young man of sixteen or seventeen who is wearing a cloak like the guest officer. Miss?"

"Exactly."

"Hehe, the surname Dong is rare, so I remembered it as soon as I thought about it." The shopkeeper said as he walked into the counter, "The little lady said that she would come to pick it up the next day. She said she was in a hurry. Two days ago. I was too busy to make it, so I said it would take two days at the earliest, and I didn't see her to pick it up yesterday, so I thought she forgot."

The shopkeeper was very kind and talkative. He took out three big bags from under the counter and handed them to Si Jixia one by one. After looking him up and down, he laughed and said, "The figure of the guest officer should be that person. The lady's husband, right? Hehe, the cloak on the guest officer's body is thin, no wonder the lady is in a hurry to pick it up within a day, I'm afraid the guest officer will be frozen in such cold weather."

When the shopkeeper said this, Si Jixia was opening one of the bundles to look at it. Seeing the neatly stacked winter clothes and thick cloak inside, his hands froze suddenly.

The shopkeeper was still saying: "Guest, do you want to try the clothes to see if they fit? The guest officer didn't come in person that day, it was your little lady who brought your old clothes and let our master cut them accordingly."

Si Jixia's hands were extremely stiff and trembling slightly.

The way Si Jixia walked back to the side gate of King Yi's Mansion with three big bundles in one hand was not less eye-catching, because he wore a cloak on his shoulders, and the wide cloak covered his body, so in the eyes of passers-by, he was the same as him. Ordinary people are no different, no one has noticed that he is actually missing an arm under his cloak, and because of this, passers-by look at him with strange eyes, asking why this man is so struggling with one hand, why not use two? Hands up together?

The burden is huge, and it can be seen that there are a lot of things in it. Si Jixia struggled to carry it, his left shoulder sank a bit, and his whole body was tilted to the left. Those three big burdens seemed to be able to weaken him at any time. His body was pulled down.
