Chapter 9 Step by Step

Only then did he return to the Su family's brocade shed, and Su Wan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately surrounded Xie Yaoguang and looked at Xie Yaoguang with concern. Su Jue's eyes fell on Xie Yaoguang, as if he was thinking about something.

Xie Yaoguang glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and sneered in his eyes. Then he was so tired that he leaned back on the chair and pretended to sleep, Su Wan saw Xie Yaoguang's appearance and suggested going back to the house in advance. Xiao Lingyu originally wanted to send the two back and wanted to watch the next game, but hesitated. Xie Yaoguang knew her thoughts, and she didn't want to miss the interest of others because of herself, so she rejected Xiao Lingyu's kindness and left with Su Wan.

As soon as I got into the carriage. Xie Yaoguang leaned against the soft wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate. Su Wan had no choice but to sit quietly aside, as if he was thinking about something. The carriage swayed slowly, and the atmosphere was very peaceful but somewhat stagnant.

Su Wan wanted to speak several times, and finally turned into a silent sigh.

The carriage walked silently, and suddenly there was a whirring sound outside the carriage. Then the carriage shook violently, and Xie Yaoguang lifted his eyes and stared at the curtain, his eyes condensed slightly. Su Wan lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, only to see a snow-white horse parked in front of a car not far in front of him, its black hooves were uneasily scraping the ground, looking a little anxious, and there was an urgent argument inside.

Xie Yaoguang saw the Lin character painted on the lantern of a carriage through the crowd, and sneered lightly, she probably knew who was making trouble on the street...... It's really bullying.

"Yaoyao, stay in the car, I'll go and see what the Lin family is doing" Su Wan's tone was indignant, obviously she also saw the Lin character.

There is only one family surnamed Lin in Beijing......

Su Wan jumped out of the carriage and was still a few steps away when he heard someone say that the long history of the Dingwang Mansion was nothing. The master's sister is the crown princess! A closer look shows that the people gathered around are wearing the same family clothes, and the front of the carriage is hung with the lampshade of the "Lin" mansion, and the people on the street dare not approach, but just watch the excitement from a distance. Anyway, it's not a day or two since this little bully of the Lin family is bullying, so why bother to cause such trouble.

Su Wanxiu frowned slightly, as if he had guessed who dared to show off his majesty on the street. Squeezed into the inner circle and saw that it was Lin Shangwen, the younger brother of the current crown princess, who was directing the family to punch and kick a man, and scolded angrily, "Dingwangfu? What kind of thing is the king, it will be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who will inherit the throne in the future! As he spoke, he snatched a sword from his attendant and slashed at the beaten young man, but was grabbed by the hand.

"When is the foot of the Son of Heaven, you can also kill people in the street"

"Who the ......" Lin Shangwen opened his mouth and was about to scold, but when he saw the face in front of him. changed the hideousness on his face, and his face was full of smiles. This Lin Shangwen relied on his sister to be the crown princess, and she was used to running rampant in Beijing, and she was already notorious. But he still has eyesight, and those who can't be provoked never provoke, but he hasn't caused any big trouble. For example, Su Wan in front of him is naturally not something he can provoke.

"Yo, isn't this Miss Su? Do these two Miss Su know each other?" Lin Shangwen looked at Su Wan with a smile: "If you know the master, I won't embarrass them, after all, His Royal Highness King Ding is also a prince no matter what he says." How dare I be embarrassed?"

"At the feet of Lin Shangwen's son of heaven, you dare to commit murder? Be careful of the Imperial History, Ginseng, your family," Su Wan stepped forward and protected the two people on the ground behind him, with the intention of protecting the two of them.

"Miss Su, what are these words? If it weren't for the stubbornness of these two people who refused to apologize, why wouldn't I have gotten along with them" Lin Shangwen glanced at the young man on the ground and sneered: "But there is one thing I want to show that the people who went to the Dingwang Mansion today are so protective of this child, isn't it the illegitimate son of the Dingwang in the palace?" If you want me to say, I don't know which palace girl I fell with."

After the words, the audience was full of uproar. Su Wan's face changed...... Just when I was about to open my mouth to scold. Xie Yaoguang's cold tone came from behind.

"Then I also want to know what it is to talk about the royal family."

Originally, the onlookers looked in the direction of the source of the voice. Xie Yaoguang came slowly under Zhuo Jing's escort. Lin Shangwen looked at Xie Yaoguang intently, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. What a stunning beauty......

Zhuo Jing bent down to help the young man on the ground at the behest of Xie Yaoguang, only to find that he was tightly guarding a thin boy under him, and he got up and lifted the child up and protected him in his arms. The child looked to be about ten years old, with a few red whip marks on his face, slightly puffy.

"I don't know who this girl is?"

Lin Shangwen knows all over the Su beauty. He had never seen Xie Yaoguang in Gusu, he was definitely not from Gusu, and he was in the same carriage with Su Wan, so he must have had a great friendship with Su Wan. For beauties, he was reluctant to give up the opportunity to know.

Xie Yaoguang glanced at Lin Shangwen coldly, then leaned over and looked at the boy gently, took out the silk silk in his sleeve, and gently wiped the dust off his face for him.

"Where does this child offend you, you say"

"Oh, girl, this kid rushed into the street for no reason and startled my horse, and my family broke his leg when he fell out of the car to avoid him. I just want him to apologize and compensate for some silver, but he refuses to apologize or pay for the silver" Lin Shangwen glanced at Xie Yaoguang with bad intentions: "It seems that the girl is reasonable, what do you say?"

"Zhuo Jing"

After Zhuo Jing willingly took out a silver ticket from his sleeve cage and threw it to Lin Shangwen, Xie Yaoguang glanced at Lin Shangwen and said, "Are these enough?" Lin Gongzi. As for your family's leg and letting him go to the Hanging Pot Hall for medical treatment, I don't believe that Wei Xuan doesn't have the ability to do this."

"Who are you from the Xie family?"

"My surname is Xie Yaoguang"

Lin Shangwen looked at Xie Yaoguang's face in astonishment, looked at the young man with disdain, and reprimanded you for luck. Then he shouted and turned to leave.

Su Wanran was angry, but the people had already left, and he couldn't do anything about it. Xie Yaoguang took the boy's hand and walked towards the carriage, and the young man stepped forward and said, "I am deciding that the head of the palace, Shi Huangfuling, thank Miss Su and Miss Xie for their help, but this boy..."

"General Huangfu, this kid is not lightly injured" Xie Yaoguang glanced at Huangfu Ling with a soft gaze and smiled: "Let him go with you, do you have a way to heal him?" ”

Hearing this, Huangfu Ling pursed his lips and looked at Xie Yaoguang like a cold pool, and he couldn't come up with an idea for a while. Xie Yaoguang knew what he said, when he met this child on the road, he had already seen Lin Shangwen whip this child several times, and he must have been hurt a lot by the pale appearance on his face now. It's just that if Xie Yaoguang took people away, he really didn't know how to explain this matter to His Royal Highness King Ding. Don't let Xie Yaoguang take people away, as Xie Yaoguang said, he really can't treat this child's injuries. The boy tilted his head and glanced at Xie Yaoguang, and then at Huang Fuling, who looked hesitant. Xie Yaoguang didn't wait for Huangfu Ling to answer, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and led the boy into the carriage.

When Huangfu Ling came back to his senses, the Su family's carriage had already gone away. Huangfu Ling secretly annoyed, today he was out of the palace to do business, but when he met this child who was beaten by Lin Shangwen, he came to the rescue, but he was also beaten by Lin Shangwen. Now that King Ding's return from the barracks is about to come, he must hurry up and plead guilty to King Ding. Miss Su and Miss Xie don't look like bad people, so the kid should be fine.

On the carriage, Su Wan asked puzzledly: "Why did Yaoyao rescue them without asking the reason, it's really annoying to let Lin Shangwen leave in vain."

"There's no point in entangling with Lin Shangwen," Xie Yaoguang snorted lightly, looked at the boy with a soft gaze, then raised his hand to hold the boy's hand, and asked softly, "How old are you?"

"Eleven"

"What's your name?"

The boy was stunned when he heard Xie Yaoguang ask his name, and only replied after a long while: "Ting Liao"

Xie Yaoguang carefully looked at Ting Liao, and sighed to hide the sharpness on the bead pupils. Brush away the broken hair from his forehead. She couldn't see a trace of servility in this child, as if there was a kind of blood and tenacity in her bones, no matter how much she bullied, she couldn't make him humble.

"It's a pretty good name, the night is not young, the light of the court is burning. Su Wan praised when he heard this.

"Two nobles, please let me go down, I should go back if I have been out for too long" Ting Liao bowed respectfully to the two, his voice gentle and humble.

Xie Yaoguang looked at Ting Liao quietly and said slowly: "Ting Liao, you are obedient, you go with me to treat your injuries first." I'll ask this sister to send you back later."

"Your kindness, Ting Liao's heart. It's just that the court is a slave to the court, and if something happens, it won't implicate the two nobles. Ting Liao lowered his head and said softly: "Please also ask the two nobles to let Ting Liao leave, this kindness ...... I'll report it again in the future."

"If you go back, will the people in the prison treat you? You can't afford to delay this injury."

Hearing this, Tingliao still lowered his head, rubbing the corners of his clothes restlessly with his hands. Looking at his appearance of twisting his eyebrows and biting his lips, Xie Yaoguang suppressed the astringency in his heart, and a trace of pity faintly flashed in his eyes. Xie Yaoguang saw what Ting Liao was hesitating about, and the days in Ting Liao must have been difficult. Today, for some reason, he was able to go out of the palace to enjoy the scenery outside, but when he encountered such a thing, he would inevitably be punished if he returned late, but he didn't want to lie and deceive people.

It's good that I didn't give in even in the dark.

"Oh, the little guy wants me to say you'll go back with us. Let people see your injuries, if it's okay, I'll send you back, okay" Su Wan is the most kind on weekdays, and he can't see anyone bullying others. Now seeing Ting Liao's appearance, I feel sorry for him, he has been crying so much at a young age, and he is angry that he is rigid and refuses to lie at all.

"Are you worried that someone will punish you when you go back?"

"No...... They all treated me very well. It's just that the rules in the palace are strict, and I don't dare to disobey them," Ting Liao's eyes flashed, and he replied in a low voice.

"Don't be afraid! My father is the Marquis of Jingyuan, and when the time comes, I beg my father to greet those people in the palace and say that you are delaying time to save me, and they must not dare to embarrass you. You can stay and see the injury with peace of mind and then go back" Su Wan listened to the embarrassment in Tingyao's tone, and after thinking about it, he decided to borrow his father's name.

"Ting Liao, you can rest for a while" Xie Yaoguang smiled, and slashed his knife neatly on Ting Liao's neck, seeing Ting Liao slumped in his arms, he sighed deeply: "It's a poor child"

As soon as the carriage arrived at Su Mansion, Zhuo Jing immediately hugged Ting Liao and avoided people and walked into the guest courtyard through the back door. Xie Yaoguang didn't want to cause more trouble, so he personally checked the injury for Ting Liao. The moment he lifted his clothes, Xie Yaoguang's expression was stunned. The thin body was covered with whip marks of varying lengths, bruises and even burns from sticks, and the old and new wounds were ......, and it was clear that someone in the prison had been beating him for a long time.

The eyes cover the fierce color in the beads.

With a sigh, he ordered Suzaku to prepare a bowl of medicine that nourishes qi and calms the nerves, and took some ointment to disperse stasis, and carefully wiped it on the scars on his face. After half a pillar of incense, Suzaku came over with the medicine and handed it to Xie Yaoguang, took the medicine bowl from Suzaku to confirm that it was not hot, and then fed it into Ting Liao's mouth one by one.

"Miss, is it possible that you are so good to this child because he is really the illegitimate son of His Royal Highness Dingwang?" Suzaku looked at Xie Yaoguang suspiciously. She also heard Lin Shangwen's words just now, it is true that if you are not close to each other, how can a person be so good to outsiders. There must be some connection between the two of them personally!

"Suzaku!"

"The slave is ...... gaffe"

The two of them were talking about the courtyard on the bed, staring at Xie Yaoguang intently. His lips twitched, but he was silent for a long time. Xie Yao smiled, she knew what Ting Liao was thinking now, her expression couldn't help but ease, and she put her hands on Ting Liao's shoulders and signaled him to be calm.

Ting Liao struggled to get up from the bed and kowtowed to Xie Yaoguang. He knew that the big sister in front of him must be a good person, just like the king of him. It's just that he has a special identity, and he is a criminal slave who has not entered the court, how can he affect such a good and innocent person because of himself.

"You don't have to worry, Su Wan has already thought of a way to solve the problem for you" Xie Yaoguang raised his lips and chuckled: "Rest, I don't know if you can understand some of my books"

As soon as these words came to an end, Yixi put on his shoes and socks, and immediately ran to the bookshelf not far away, took a copy of "The Book of Rites" on tiptoe, knelt in front of the bookcase and flipped through it.

Xie Yaoguang raised his eyebrows, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. It's a smart kid.

"Do you know words? "

"Well, my mother taught me before"

"So do you understand the book? Xie Yaoguang asked after a little silence.

Ting Liao closed the book and shook his head. Xie Yaoguang felt his desire to read and learn in this child's actions, but the environment he was in did not allow him to do so. Ting Liao also understands that the big sister in front of her must also be a very knowledgeable person, just like the gentlemen that her mother said when she was a child. However, his status prevented him from staying in Houfu for a long time.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Su Wan's eager voice from outside the hospital. Xie Yaoguang twisted her eyebrows and pondered for a while, and walked to the courtyard, when she saw the person coming, her steps were dry, and suddenly, the tips of her lips and eyebrows trembled in unison, and her eyes were unstoppable. When he moved his eyes, he suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and then looked at Su Wan, who looked apologetic behind the person, with a smile on his lips.

Su Wan looked at the young man who broke in helplessly. Seeing that Xie Yaoguang didn't speak, and she was the host, she had to step forward and say politely: "Is there anything important for you to come here?" My father is not at home at this time, do you want to go to the main hall and wait? "
