Chapter 18: The Prince of the Metropolitan Kingdom
Nan Xiaowu was held by her and couldn't escape, so she could only turn in circles to avoid the hot pain that couldn't be avoided at all.
"Mother, I don't, I'm not a broom star, this is really what I won, Xiao Wu didn't..."
"Don't call me mother! I'm not your mother, you monster, why are you here to harm our family, why don't you die? The old lady will simply beat you to death today! ”
The village woman passing by couldn't stand it, so she said something in passing.
"Meifeng, the child is still young, he can't be beaten like this by you, it will be broken, what is there to preach, you are like this"
"I'll teach my kids what to do with you!"
Wang Meifeng interrupted her words and glared at her angrily, her eyes were already red!
"Hey, you're still unreasonable?"
The village woman looked at Nan Xiaowu's body full of blood stripes that had been punched out, mixed with bruises, and couldn't look at it at all, she glanced at her pitifully, shook her head and left without saying anything.
"Mother, Xiao Wu didn't steal, this is really what I won, you believe me, I didn't, I really didn't..."
Nan Xiaowu explained anxiously to Wang Meifeng, and the bean-sized tears kept rolling down her eyes, wetting the hair on her face, looking like a little beggar.
No, at this time, Nan Xiaowu should be worse than a little beggar...
In this home, look at Nan Qiang, who is dressed brightly on the side, and the fat meat on that body.
There is also Wang Meifeng, although she is not luxuriously dressed, she is also gorgeous, which is completely in contrast to Nan Xiaowu's coarse cloth and rotten old clothes!
And Nan Xiaowu is still wearing Nan Qiang's old clothes, not to mention that they don't fit, and there is no extra to change for her.
It is enough to see what kind of life Nan Xiaowu usually spends in this family.
Fortunately, it's early autumn, the weather is cool, and you can't smell anything if you don't change it every day.
And Nan Xiaowu has a problem of not taking a bath and sleeping every day, so although her clothes are shabby and dirty, she is still very clean.
But these can't be exchanged for Wang Meifeng's pity, the more Nan Xiaowu justifies and speaks, the more arrogant she becomes!
She even had a terrifying thought in her heart, if she drained the blood on Nan Xiaowu's body, would she die?
But before she got to that point, she still didn't dare to let her kill people after all. But she is more and more afraid that she will one day turn into a monster and kill their whole family!
So she abused her as much as possible, even if Nan Guangquan beat her to death, she could do it without blushing and her heart beating on the side!
People who gamble money have a bad temper. Nan Guangquan will be very irritable every time he loses money, sometimes she says a few words to him, and he will do something with her, with this little thing, she has suffered a lot less.
Wang Meifeng was tired of scolding but still angry, and now the colored bead in her hand is like a huge catastrophe, which will destroy their whole family at any time!
So how can she be calm? She can only let Nan Xiaowu bear all this! The disaster is that she broke out, and naturally she has to solve it!
"Let me ask you, you said that you won back this lottery bead, who is the person who bets against you?"
“... I... I don't know..."
Nan Xiaowu sighed: "He is a child on the street, they appear every day on the street near the city gate, and I won a bet with him there..."
Nan Xiaowu honestly explained everything with tears in her eyes.
"Okay, let me ask you again, do you still know the person who lost your lottery beads?"
Nan Xiaowu nodded
Wang Meifeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and threw the colored beads to her.
"Then you go and return this colored bead to others now, and apologize to others, do you know?"
"Mother, the colored bead is mine, you can't give it to her!"
Nan Qiang said that he was going to grab the color beads in Nan Xiaowu's hands, but was stopped by Wang Meifeng.
"This bead is not yours, if someone asks in the future, you have to say that you have not seen this bead, don't you know?"
"But mother, I really like that colored bead, I want to play!"
"Obedient son, my mother will buy you something more fun another day, we can't play this, it will kill you, do you know?"
"Oh... All right. Nan Qiang seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and reluctantly glanced at the colored bead again.
After Wang Meifeng appeased Nan Qiang, she looked at Nan Xiaowu with a disgusted expression: "What are you still doing here, why don't you hurry up and return the colored beads to apologize!"
"Mother... I don't know where he lives..."
"If you don't know, just go to the place where he appeared and wait, and don't come back if you don't go back, do you hear that?!"
As she spoke, she pushed Nan Xiaowu out of the yard and closed the door slamming the door by the way!
Nan Xiaowu looked at the closed courtyard gate, sighed faintly, turned around, and walked in the direction of the street.
At the same time, in the capital, in a certain luxurious and solemn mansion, there were rows of guards with knives standing densely guarding the mansion.
In a magnificent and spacious room, the eyes are full of exquisite ornaments, which look like they are worth a lot of money!
There was a majestic figure standing in the room at the moment, and a little boy kneeling in front of him was none other than Lee Jung-hyuk, who had just returned from the street.
"I heard that in the past few days, you have known that you are addicted to fun every day, and you have already lost your academic affairs to the clouds, right?"
The man's stern voice frightened Lee Jung-hyuk even more, he looked at the attendant beside him, shook his head and said.
"No... No. If the father doesn't believe him, he can check the child. ”
The man turned around and looked at him condescendingly, with the kind of natural momentum on his body, quite the demeanor of the king of a country!
That's right, he is Li Wenyuan, the son of heaven in the capital, and in front of him is the current crown prince Li Zhenghyuk.
This time, they came to the capital to find a companion for the crown prince Lee Jung-hyuk among the four major families.
When it comes to the companionship of the heirs of the royal bloodline, it is naturally necessary to be cautious.
Therefore, the Holy Lord came here today to personally choose one person for him.
But unfortunately, I heard that the sons of the four major families of the Dongfang family are not here in recent days.
He had ordered someone to inquire about the situation of the sons of these four major families earlier, and what satisfied him the most was naturally Dongfang Yi of the Oriental family!
If he is not there, then this matter should not be in a hurry, and can only be postponed, and then decided after reading it one by one.
But he can't stay here forever because of his heavy state affairs, so he can only entrust this important task to the old slave Ande Gong, who has been faithful to his lord for a long time.
Li Wenyuan looked at the attendant on the side: "What he just said, is it false?"
His fierce eyes were full of murderous intent. It means that if the prince said that there is a half-word falsehood, his head will be removed!
It is needless to say how much the royal family attaches importance to the cultivation of heirs, after all, this is a matter of national fortune in the future, and it is not allowed to be sloppy at all!
If the crown prince dares to lie, I don't know how many people will lose their heads just by this move, let alone the inner prison who serves closely, it is a felony to destroy the nine clans!
"Your Majesty!"
The inner supervisor knelt on the ground: "Tai... What the prince said just now is not false. Although he will go out to play during the day, he is working hard when he comes back at night, and he is not slacking off on his studies. ”
"Father." Lee Jung-hyuk reopened his mouth, no longer as scared as Fang Cai.
"In fact, when you go out to have fun, you don't just want to have fun. The father ruled the country well, and the sons saw that the people were peaceful and happy, and they also realized some truth from it. ”
"Oh~ Tell me about it." Li Wenyuan's complexion finally eased a lot.
Lee Jung-hyuk's mother is the founding queen, and her family is also a member of the capital.
This kid has been smart since he was a child, and he is the most outstanding of his many princes!
After many aspects of research, it seems that the candidate for the crown prince, Lee Jung-hyuk, is expected by everyone.
Therefore, in the second year after his birth, he canonized him as the crown prince by an imperial decree.
But God is jealous, three years ago, when the world was in turmoil, his mother died of a serious illness, leaving Lee Jung-hyuk, who had just been able to walk and read...
Then, after surviving the catastrophe three years ago, the power of Lee Jung-hyuk's mother's family is no longer what it used to be.
Although the situation in the capital has calmed down now, he doesn't need to look at how many forces are about to move!
The battle for the crown prince has always been the most brutal struggle of the royal family, although it has been decided, but before the succession to the throne, all the variables are unimaginable and unpredictable.
The rise of the four major families three years ago brought a strong fortress to the stability of the capital.
But they never participated in the affairs of the imperial court, in order to stabilize the relationship with the four major families and ensure that the prince could grow up safely and strongly, he came up with a plan to let the sons of the four major families be the prince's companion!
"Father, the capital can quickly calm down at such a turbulent moment three years ago, and in a short period of time restore to the previous scene of the people living and working in peace and contentment, it is naturally inseparable from the benevolence of the father, the help of the chivalrous people in the world, and the support of the people."
"Well, that's right, anything else?"
"The country will prosper, and there will be auspiciousness. The pacification of this catastrophe is precisely a foreshadowing of this sentence. The father and the emperor spurred the sons harshly, and the sons naturally understood the hard work of the father. Playing with the people can better understand the current situation of the people, and children will know better where to go. Father, the son will not disappoint the father! ”
There was a brief silence in the room, followed by a hearty burst of laughter.
"Hahahaha..."
Li Wenyuan personally helped Li Zhenghyuk on the ground to get up.
"This is the good emperor of my father! He'er, you must know that you are my prince, the prince of the heavenly family, the emperor of the future capital, and the great responsibility of the family and the country will be on your shoulders in the future, so you must work hard and not live up to your father's expectations and painstaking efforts for you! ”
"Please rest assured that my son should remember his father's earnest teachings, strive to strengthen himself, and be a useful person with the world in mind!"
