Chapter 23: Mother, what is a lazy string?
For some reason, even though he knew Xuemei was a girl, Liu Hu felt a little lost when he saw her hugging Zhiruo, and he wanted to snatch Zhiruo away immediately.
Liu Hu cherishes the time he spends , as if he wants to make up for all his previous regrets.
Xuemei was well versed in the ways of the world. When she saw that Liu Hu looked unhappy and that his eyes were fixed on Zhiruo, she immediately coaxed Zhiruo to go to Liu Hu, while she picked up various dried fruits and ate them with relish, paying no attention to her image at all.
"Who is this girl?" Lan Xin didn't pay much attention to A Si's sudden appearance, but there was a woman next to Liu Hu, so Lan Xin asked without even thinking about it, almost subconsciously.
She herself didn't know that this question was full of jealousy, just like a wife asking her husband.
Liu Hu thought it was just a woman's curiosity, so he answered casually, "She's just a little maid."
"Maid? Who are you kidding? There is a clear hierarchy and a little maid dares to eat at the table? What will happen in the future? The two of them must have an affair. Do you really think I'm an idiot?" Lan Xin naturally didn't believe it and guessed in her heart.
As expected, all men are not good.
If your clothes are not as good as new, you must have forgotten yourself a long time ago, you stinky man.
I didn't expect that after leaving me, his vision became so bad and he started to like playing ball.
Thinking of this, Lan Xin became furious and no longer cared about her ladylike image. She ate with big mouthfuls of food, as if the food was Liu Hu and she was tearing his body apart with her mouth.
Liu Hu didn't understand why Lan Xin changed like this, and called Luo Fanchen and Asi to come for dinner. The two of them had already noticed the tension at the dinner table, and they didn't dare to step forward, standing there motionless.
"Boss, I'm not hungry. You guys eat." Even a glutton like Ah Si didn't move at all, for fear of being hurt by the tense atmosphere.
Because of Xuemei's appearance, Lan Xin talked more. The more she looked at Xuemei, the more shocked she became. Although the little girl was chubby, she was a beauty if you looked closely at her facial features.
Besides, she is younger and more energetic than himself.
"The people around the young prince are truly extraordinary." Hearing Xuemei smacking her lips, which didn't look like a lady from a noble family at all, Lan Xin covered her mouth and chuckled.
Xuemei didn't expect Liu Hu to be the little prince. She ignored Lan Xin's ridicule and tilted her head to look at Liu Hu and said, "So you are the prince. No wonder my father entrusted me to you and gave you the "Sea Ice Heart Sutra". It seems that my father is still loyal to Daqian."
Xuemei talked for a long time, but Lanxin didn't hear anything else, but she did hear a word of entrustment!
It seems that both of them have reached the point where their parents have decided on their lives. Although they have already made up their minds and no longer hope to renew their relationship with Liu Hu, they still feel a little jealous.
"Zhiruo, you and this girl are naturally close, why not recognize her as your aunt." If you can't be Liu Hu's wife, then at least you have to establish a relationship with her. Secondly, you can also observe this girl more and see what kind of person she is.
He looks kind-hearted and plump, so he might be a kind-hearted person.
If he failed in his revenge and died in a foreign land, his daughter would have someone to entrust her to. No matter how much Liu Hu loved his daughter, she was not as attentive as a woman.
Just from Liu Hu's eyes, Xuemei could tell how much he valued Zhiruo. How could she not accept such conditions?
"Okay, okay, ever since I first saw Zhiruo, I felt inexplicably close to her. Auntie came out in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts." After Xuemei finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and kept groping around her body. After searching for a long time, she finally found a block of wood.
"Don't underestimate this thing. It contains five silver needles, all of which are extremely poisonous. If you encounter danger, you only need to press the mechanism gently. Unless you are a ninth-level master, you will be killed on the spot."
After Liu Hu heard this, he snatched the small piece of wood and put it away. He stretched out his hand to stop Xuemei and said, "How old is she? You gave her such a dangerous thing. What if she accidentally hurts herself?"
Xuemei scratched her head, it was indeed her negligence. This hidden weapon was too lethal and could easily hurt herself.
"No, no, I want that. I still need to learn martial arts and protect my mother in the future." Zhiruo had been staring at Xuemei's hand, so she naturally saw what she had just seen.
Xuemei pinched Zhiruo's chubby little face. For some reason, it seemed that everyone liked to touch Zhiruo's little round face.
"Little Baozi, why do you, a little girl, want to learn martial arts?" Xuemei didn't understand Zhiruo's thoughts.
Zhiruo hesitated for a while, rubbed her two chubby hands together, and said with embarrassment: "Because my mother sells tofu, people often don't pay, and some people don't allow my mother to set up the stall."
This sentence was unexpected to Xuemei. In her opinion, how could a prince allow Liu Hu to favor Zhiruo so much?
What kind of background does one have to have to dare to offend the prince?
Lan Xin, however, did not want to tell others about her suffering, so she stopped them and said, "Zhiruo, we will go back ."
"Oh." Zhiruo agreed, looked at the food on the table, and reluctantly got down from the chair.
In her heart, her mother's words were like imperial decrees, and she always obeyed them.
Xuemei didn't think too much about it. She put one foot on the chair and cursed, "You really spoil his bad habits. In broad daylight, there are still people who bully others like this. Wait until I get to your place, and I'll pull his lazy string down."
Liu Hu kicked the chair over with a bang, and Xuemei lost her balance and nearly fell flat on her face.
"Don't say anything in front of a child." Children have strong learning abilities and will learn whatever adults say. Liu Hu doesn't want Zhiruo to speak dirty words all the time.
Liu Hu didn't have much experience in educating children, but he knew what it meant to teach by example.
Xuemei also knew that she was a little excited just now, and looked at Liu Hu embarrassedly. She also knew that what she said was a little too much.
When Lan Xin took Zhi Ruo upstairs, she vaguely heard Zhi Ruo asking weakly, "Mother, what is a lazy string? Can it be eaten?"
Liu Hu got even angrier after hearing this. He tilted his head and looked at Xuemei, saying word by word, "If I find you swearing in front of Zhiruo again, don't blame me for being rude."
Xuemei wanted to say something more, but when she saw Liu Hu's murderous expression, she swallowed and pretended to be calm, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Why are you angry?"
Liu Hu was not in the mood to eat. He snorted , glared at Xuemei, and followed her upstairs.
After all, without Lan Xin, it would be boring for me to be here. It would be better for me to be alone and think about how to deal with the various forces.
If this plan fails, the consequences will be disastrous. Although he appears to be so calm and composed, he knows that he is like walking on a wire a hundred meters high. If he deviates even a little, he may be crushed to pieces.
