Chapter 172: Father's Worries
Chu Xiaoxiao only recuperated in Xuzhou City for two days, and hurried back to the capital as Liu Ji foresaw.
In this regard, Liu Ji was inevitably a little surprised.
In Yongzhou before, Chu Xiaoxiao was injured in the hands of the Dead Moon, but her injuries were not healed, so she couldn't help but want to seek revenge on the Dead Moon.
Now Chu Xiaoxiao almost lost her life, but instead she didn't say a word, almost treating it as if it hadn't happened at all, how could this make Liu Ji feel not confused?
It's just that what Liu Ji doesn't know is that Chu Xiaoxiao's temperament is indeed retribution, but she knows how to do what she can.
Just like before, Chu Xiaoxiao was captured by the Dark Moon almost without much resistance, is it because Chu Xiaoxiao has no room to resist?
It's just because Chu Xiaoxiao knows very well in her heart that as long as there is Mo Zixian, no matter how much she resists, it will be in vain. And if the people in the mansion are alarmed, it is very likely to affect the people in the Chu mansion.
Now Chu Xiaoxiao knows more or less that she won't be able to shake the Dark Moon for a while, so naturally there is no need to worry, it is useless to be in a hurry. Instead of thinking about these useless things, it is better to think more about the upcoming martial arts.
Chu Xiaoxiao had no confidence in winning in Wuju, and now she was injured a lot, and her heart was even more bottomless.
As for the matter of the Dark Moon, Chu Xiaoxiao generally knew that Liu Ji was dealing with it, but she didn't mean to interfere. After all, Chu Xiaoxiao's own means are best known to herself, and in the matter of the Dark Moon, it is already very good that she doesn't help Liu Ji.
Four days later, Chu Xiaoxiao was escorted by Liu Ji's people and returned to Chu Mansion silently.
"Xiaoxiao!" Chu Ci watched Chu Xiaoxiao come back with another injury, first shocked, and then his eyes were full of distress.
Chu Xiaoxiao has lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and her cheeks, which were still a little round, have been pointed, making her bright eyes extraordinarily big.
"What's the matter?" Chu Ci looked at Chu Xiaoxiao and asked, "Xiaoxiao, who kidnapped you, how could you be so seriously injured." ”
"Daddy. Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Ci and felt a little guilty in her heart.
This is the third time she has been injured since she crossed over, although the injury is as ordinary as eating and drinking water for her, but Chu Ci is only a doctor after all, and he is also a father, how can he be willing to see his daughter injured one after another?
While Chu Ci was looking at Chu Xiaoxiao worriedly, Chu Xiaoxiao was also looking at Chu Ci carefully.
However, after only a few days of hard work, Chu Ci looked a little older than before she left Beijing, I don't know if it was an illusion, Chu Xiaoxiao could even detect that the hair on Chu Ci's sideburns was also a few strands white.
In the memory of the original owner, there is actually a very clear dividing line for Chu Ci's impression.
Before Feng Miao's death, Chu Ci was a gentle and elegant Zhilan Yushu's son, even if he was married and had a daughter, when he walked on the street, there would still be little girls throwing sachets at him.
And after the news of Feng Yao's death came, Chu Ci seemed to have aged twenty years overnight, and since then, he has been what he is now.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoxiao felt even more guilty.
Now the person Chu Ci cares about the most is her daughter, she is adventuring to her heart's content, not afraid of pain or injury, but she never thought that she was injured, and she was not alone.
Chu Xiaoxiao opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't say it in the end. He knew very well what Chu Ci wanted her to do, but Chu Xiaoxiao would never be as ordinary and stable as Chu Ci expected, so she didn't want to lie to Chu Ci at this time.
"What's going on? Chu Ci knew that she wanted to fool Chu Xiaoxiao as soon as she saw Chu Xiaoxiao's expression, but Chu Xiaoxiao's two injuries before were already Chu Ci's bottom line, and this time it was impossible not to ask at all no matter what.
Chu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and she had already thought that Chu Ci was not so easy to excuse here, so she said helplessly: "It was Yongzhou City that time, I offended the people on the rivers and lakes, and people took revenge." ”
Hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words, Chu Ci immediately frowned tightly, and the worry in his eyes was difficult to hide.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you ask your father to say about you......"
Chu Ci sighed, but didn't say anything more after all.
At this point, he said that no amount of more was useless. What's more, Chu Ci also knew in his heart that even if he said it, Chu Xiaoxiao agreed at this moment, and it would never be possible to marry and have children like everyone in the capital in the future, and live a stable life.
Chu Xiaoxiao was still waiting for training with a depressed face, and after waiting for a long time, she didn't see Chu Ci speak, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Dad, don't you scold me?"
Hearing this, Chu Ci's eyes were full of helplessness, and after a while, he spoke: "Is it useful to scold you?"
Regarding Chu Xiaoxiao's current temperament, Chu Ci was both relieved and a little worried.
Because after all, Chu Xiaoxiao and Feng Miao are too similar now, Chu Ci will inevitably worry that Chu Xiaoxiao will also die at a young age like Feng Xiao back then.
After the news of Feng Yao's death came, if it weren't for this daughter, I'm afraid Chu Ci would really have to go with Feng Yao.
Chu Xiaoxiao felt even more guilty, and hurriedly reassured: "Dad, I won't be hurt again in the future to worry you......
"That's it. Chu Ci shook his head and said, "Even if you say it now, you will forget it when you turn around, you just need to remember that there is still my father." ”
"Daddy...... Chu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say, and she couldn't say anything.
After the atmosphere was silent for a long time, Chu Cicai seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at Chu Xiaoxiao and said: "Xiaoxiao, during the time you are not in the capital, there are some rumors in the capital, if you listen to it later, don't care." ”
When Chu Xiaoxiao had just disappeared, there was an uproar in the capital, although he said that Chu Xiaoxiao seemed to go back to Yanzhou to worship the ancestors of the Feng family, but after all, paper can't hold the fire, and the people in the capital are still more willing to believe the rumors that came out first.
Fortunately, when the side concubine of the Prince's Mansion had an accident, the talents in the capital shifted their attention to Lin Zhen'er.
Although it is somewhat unkind to say that this is the case, Chu Ci originally had no good impression of Lin Zhen'er, and compared to Chu Xiaoxiao at this time, Lin Zhen'er is naturally nothing in Chu Ci's heart.
After all, people are not sages, even if Chu is benevolent, but after all, he still cares more about his daughter.
"What kind of rumors?" Chu Xiaoxiao didn't react, and only continued after a while: "What has the capital said about me these days?"
If it had nothing to do with her, Chu Xiaoxiao believed that Chu Ci would never mention it at this time, not to mention that Chu Ci reminded her not to care.
Chu Ci thought of the rumors about Chu Xiaoxiao in the capital before, and couldn't help but say: "It's nothing, you just take care of your injuries at home." ”
