Do you still want it, son?

The little meatballs were soft and slippery, and each one was full of meaty fragrance, and they were rolled into A Yuan's small bowl.Holding a small spoon horizontally, he sat on a low stool and flicked the meatball inside to his mouth, grunting and eating with some difficulty.

After eating two, A Yuan glanced outside. After repeating twice, he was extremely puzzled. He turned his head to look at Jinchun and asked, "Dad, dad?"

In the usual daytime, he had never missed Ji Xiao for such a long time.Jinchun couldn't explain to A Yuan that his father was still missing, and he didn't dare to let A Yuan go to the main house to see or hear Shen Huai's furious appearance at the moment.She bent down and covered A Yuan's ears to block the vague scolding.A Yuan raised his eyes to look at Jinchun, and shook his head in confusion, trying to fiddle with her hand.

Jinchun stretched out her fingertips to wipe the soup stains around A Yuan's mouth, feeling a little sad for this ignorant child.

The sound of porcelain shattering suddenly came from the main room, and Bajiao, who was standing on one side, was trembling and almost unable to stand.But Jinchun stood up, hugged A Yuan into his arms, and told the little girl who was shaking like chaff by her side with her usual expression, "Clean up this place."

A Yuan didn't know if he had captured some emotions, but he was lying on Jinchun's shoulders and didn't speak at the moment, looking a bit listless.

Jinchun just walked towards the main house with his head depressed. As he got closer, Shen Huai's voice came out more and more clearly.

"You'd better pray that A Xiao is unharmed, otherwise, even if he loses a hair, you will have to pay with your life." Shen Huai's voice was filled with cold anger.

Jinchun stood at the door of the main house with A Yuan in his arms, and he could see people kneeling on the ground inside, all with their heads on the ground. On the other side, his face was already pale, his cheeks were almost pressed to the ground, his whole body was trembling slightly, revealing some of the whites of his eyes, as if he had fainted.

"My lord," Jin Chun pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said, "Young Master, he..."

Before she finished speaking, A Yuan struggled to get off the ground, twisting and calling Shen Huai, "Father, Father," without Ji Xiao, the one who can give A Yuan the most sense of security at this moment is Shen Huai after all.

When Shen Huai saw A Yuan, he couldn't bear it.He walked quickly to A Yuan's side, squatted down, and stretched out his hands to straighten his clothes. A Yuan pouted, and the tears that he had held back when he was outside just now fell down when he saw Shen Huai. She hugged Shen Huai's neck with her small hand, and snuggled in, crying in a milky voice, "Father, where is Daddy?"

Shen Huai reached out to pick up A Yuan, and walked around the room, whispering in A Yuan's ear while walking.

After a while, A Yuan fell asleep in Shen Huai's arms sobbing, and finally settled down.

Shen Huai's complexion was deep, looking at A Yuan's sleeping face, he wished he could go back and cut himself twice alive.But this time without being with A Xiao, such an incident can happen.When marching and fighting, even in the face of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of enemies, he had never been so panic-stricken, but now he can almost be described as Liushenwuzhu.

This spring, seeing Shen Huai's slightly more stable expression after holding A Yuan, he felt relieved.Ji Xiao is not here now, father and son should always rely on each other.

The person who kidnapped Ji Xiao was clearly prepared, not to mention anything else, that long tunnel could not be dug out in a day or two.

Shen Huai thought of all the people who might do this kind of thing to threaten him, but in the end he couldn't decide on a single candidate.Who would choose to attack Ji Xiao at such a time, it would be someone who thinks he has lived too long.

Thousands of clues were slowly investigated, and finally there were some clues before dark.

An Yuan hurried into the main courtyard, the lights in the courtyard were as bright as ever, but it was less warm than before.He climbed up the steps, stopped at the door of the room, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I have a letter."

Shen Huai just put A Yuan in the crib, and then carefully tucked in the quilt for him.Hearing An Yuan's words, he walked out quickly, "Say it!"

An Yuan went straight to the point, "The man was taken away by Ji's family."

"Ji's family?" Shen Huai frowned in disbelief, "What do they mean by taking A Xiao away?"

Originally, he hadn't brought Ji Xiao to him for two years, but Shen Huai already felt that he was too lenient towards the Ji family.Right now, he was about to throw them into a corner, but he didn't want Ji's family to jump out and forcefully pull his attention back.

"I'm afraid," An Yuan hesitated for a moment, bowed his head and cupped his hands, "I'm afraid they don't know that your engagement with Mr. Ji has been concluded, and they brought him back to claim credit from you."

Shen Huai was silent, he stretched out his hand to hold the door frame, and asked after a while, "Have the dark guards followed?"

An Yuan nodded, "I have already followed their carriage, and I am on guard against any accident."

In the night, the pace of the carriage was only slower than during the day, and there was no intention of stopping.

If there was nothing in the past, Ji Xiao's body has been well-raised recently, and he can't bear such bumps, and his complexion is gradually becoming ugly.He sat in a corner of the carriage, leaned his head against the wall of the carriage, grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands, and said nothing quietly.

"Third young master is not as good as before. I hope you will understand our difficulties. After the matter is completed, you will have your own glory and wealth." Ji Chang said not to coax or persuade.

With a pale face, Ji Xiao endured the emptiness in his stomach, and said softly, "Excuse me for your difficulties?"

What is the difficulty of the Ji family?This is a new word.

"For the past two years, His Royal Highness Prince Ping has been looking for you, but when he couldn't find you, he took all his anger on the Ji family. Many properties of the Ji family were suppressed, and the master's hard work was wasted..." Ji Chang raised his hand and held Lifting the window, looking at the bright moonlight outside, he said, "Master, didn't you think of this at all?"

Ji Xiao was silent, the dislike of Ji's family that had been suppressed for two years came out little by little because of Ji Chang's words.How else can he be considerate of Ji's family?Zuo is just a family that treats itself as an object and never treats itself as a person.

Everyone inside is hideous, coming like a flood of beasts.He managed to escape, and met Jin He again, but he didn't expect such an incident in the middle.

Ji Chang said a few more words. Seeing that Ji Xiao was still silent, he asked instead, "What is the third young master thinking?"

Ji Xiao raised his eyes, "I miss my child."

A Yuan has not seen himself for a day, what is he doing at this time.Ji Xiao couldn't hear A Yuan cry the most, every time it seemed like he was pulling his heart.It hurts to think about it now.

Mentioning A Yuan, both Ji Chang and the other young man in the carriage sneered.

They were already contemptuous of Ji Xiao's weird figure, but when they heard him tell the fact that he had a child in such a tone, they felt even more that in the past two years, his shame of etiquette has faded a lot.

"In that case," Ji Chang said, "the third young master still remember not to say it in front of the master, listen to my persuasion, if it is not for King Ping's face, you will have to suffer some flesh and blood when you go back this time. Child, that lover, don't think about it, it won't do you any good."

Ji Xiao closed his eyes, frowning tightly, not wanting to say anything more to them.

In the dense forest in the dark night, the carriage rushed forward at high speed in the vast night. If you pay more attention, it is not difficult to see the faint and fast figure among the shadows of the trees on one side.

The long motorcade rolls forward, and the curtains are gorgeous, which clearly let people know the status of the people in this car.

A Yuan cried for most of the night before falling asleep, and now he woke up in Shen Huai's arms.He opened his eyes, first saw the swaying scenery outside, he was a little startled, jumped up in fright, and almost broke away from Shen Huai's arms.

Shen Huai grabbed A Yuan's fat ankle, hung him upside down for the time being, then turned him around, and held him securely in his arms.

Seeing that it was Shen Huai, A Yuan sniffled, raised his hand to wipe his face, and asked in a daze, "Dad, where is Dad?"

He has asked this sentence many times since yesterday. Shen Huai put aside his impatience towards him in the past, gently stroked A Yuan's soft hair, his eyes looking out the window were cold, but his tone was very friendly And, "don't be afraid, I'll take you to find him."

A Yuan snuggled into Shen Huai's arms, hugging him full of trust.

It was dark and bright, and what Ji Xiao never heard was the rolling sound of the wheels of the carriage.After two horses died in the run, Hangcheng finally arrived.

I didn't look at it much when I was there before, but now I come back after two years, it seems like a newcomer.Sitting by the window, Ji Xiao looked at the swaying figures and the bustling market outside, feeling in a daze for a moment.

"I've sent people to go back to report the letter. In a short while, the master will know the news of the third young master's return." Ji Chang said standing up, pushing open the door of the carriage, jumping off the slow-moving carriage, and heading towards the horse prepared by the other side go.

Ji Xiao's complexion has been very ugly these two days, he ate little and didn't sleep well.

The only young man in the car looked at Ji Xiao's face, hesitated for a moment, and then persuaded, "Third Young Master, your body is yours, so you have to take care of yourself."

Ji Xiao stretched out his hand and pushed the window open to let the cool wind outside come in.

"I know."

He still had to wait for Shen Huai and A Yuan, so how could he not worry about his health?These days Ji Xiao has tried his best to eat more, but because of his lack of appetite, he just stuffed it a little.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Ji's mansion, Ji Guihong was already standing on the steps waiting.With his hands behind his back, he assumed the strict father's appearance that Ji Xiao was most familiar with.When he saw Ji Xiao jumping out of the carriage with the support of the carriage, Ji Guihong's heart was finally settled, and almost at the same time he was already thinking about what he would like to ask King Ping for as a reward.

Standing behind Ji Guihong were two young men, whose looks were five or six times the same as Ji Guihong's.Ji Xiao is more like his mother, he is not like a family with them.Ji Guihong's wife, Zhao Shi, was standing beside him, looking at Ji Xiao at this moment, he couldn't tell what it was like.

She felt ironic in her heart, I'm afraid that vixen back then would never have thought that there would be a day when her son would become Ji's life-saving straw, right?

No matter how many eyes with different meanings fell on him, Ji Xiao just felt indifferent.

Ji Guihong was no different from creating scenery on the street. Although he was dissatisfied with Ji Xiao a thousand times in his heart, he just shook his sleeves vigorously and walked into the mansion quickly.The main door was just closed by the servant, so he sternly called out to Ji Xiao.

"You kneel down for me!"

More than a dozen servants and maidservants stood in place, looking at Ji Xiao with frivolous faces.Everyone here has insulted him before, Ji Xiao looked up at them calmly, and asked, "Why are you kneeling?"

"Because I'm your father." Ji Guihong's face was sullen, and his eyes staring at Ji Xiao seemed to be poisoned.

That night two years ago, Ji Guihong said the same thing, and Ji Xiao fell into memory.

Ji Xiao silently stared at the broken bronze mirror and wept. The moonlight outside the half-opened window was shining coldly in the courtyard, and he didn't feel any pity for the delicate beauty in front of the bronze mirror.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a tall and strong girl stopped in front of the door, and said in a nonchalant manner, "Young master, I will wait for you to pass over there, hurry up, change your clothes, and don't forget to apply the face powder." .”

Ji Xiao bit his lower lip, and looked at the set of tulle clothes on the varnished bed board with some embarrassment, what could such clothes cover?Not to mention that his body is different from ordinary people, and he has been hiding it very well since he was a child, but he doesn't want to be humiliated and given away as a plaything by his father at this time.

But the girl couldn't see his coddling, she walked into the room quickly and stretched out her hands to roughly strip Ji Xiao's clothes, while laughing coldly, "I said son, you should be more sensible, tonight Don't you know what kind of person you are going to serve? If you get someone's favor, you can't say for sure what will happen in the future. Let me tell you, at least you put on a smiling face. Lest others think you are unlucky, and make you look ugly in this attire!"

Ji Xiao clasped his fingertips in the palm of his hand, tremblingly remembering Ji Guihong's scolding earlier.

"If you are still useful, if you still remember that I am your father, you will be able to suffer less."

"Get up!" The girl didn't let Ji Xiao be in a daze, she just dressed him and pulled him up, then stuffed the cloak she was holding into his hand indiscriminately, and then pushed him out the door, "Come in later If you are more obedient, you will suffer less."

The bright light in the outer courtyard flickered, and the voices of many women laughing and laughing could be heard through the door. In the candlelight, you could see the shadows of cups and cups intertwined between raising your hands.

Ji Xiao only turned his head for a glance, and was pushed into the main room on one side by the girl, "Wait here, don't try to run away, if you run away," she paused with a sneer, "Master Having said that, if you don't want to be with the nobleman, let the group of servants outside use you, would you be willing?"

Ji Xiao trembled with fright, and stood frozen in the darkness.

Two years later, Ji Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Ji Guihong with a calm expression, who was faintly showing signs of violent anger at this moment, and he had already forgotten why he was so afraid.

"Why don't I remember having you as a father?"
