At this point, Xun 'er felt extremely wronged.
He clutched at Murong Xi's trousers and cried bitterly.
He only dared to sob softly because of Murong Xi's previous threat.
It was all his fault that he did not guard against Xun 'er. That was why Xun' er was spoiled.
From now on, he must discipline Xun 'er strictly.
"Alright, get up. You're a man. What's the point of crying? "
Seeing that his expression had softened, the servants stepped forward and helped Xun 'er up.
However, in front of this overly strict godfather, the usually reckless Little Tyrant was as obedient as a little quail.
However, there were still traces of tears on his cheeks.
"Remember, since I've acknowledged you, that's a fact that no one can change. You don't have to worry about whether I won't love you in the future. Also, your godmother will never be Chong Hua. Butler, from now on, nothing sent by Chong Hua is allowed to be sent to Xun 'er, and she is not allowed to visit him. "
"Yes."
Murong Xi waved his hand and ordered the servants to bring Xun 'er away.
To be honest, he didn't have any romantic feelings for Chong Hua. Now, even the estranged good impression he had because of the Crown Prince gradually faded away.
He hated people who stirred up trouble behind his back.
Especially when she did all that to Xun 'er. In fact, she was not helping him, but destroying him.
What was this woman thinking?
"Master, Sui Zheng is back."
While he was deep in thought, the butler came to his side again and said in a low voice.
"Yes, call him in."
Not long after, a man with a very ordinary figure and appearance walked in front of him.
Don't look at how unremarkable this person was. However, there was probably nothing wrong with Wei Guo. It was not something that he could not dig out.
However, this time, he knelt in front of Murong Xi as soon as he saw him.
"Master, Sui Zheng failed to complete the task you gave me. I'm here to ask for punishment."
Murong Xi glanced at him and said indifferently.
"What happened?"
Sui Zheng looked dejected. Then, he told her the reason for his failure.
"Didn't you ask me to investigate Young Master Xun 'er's background? I didn't expect that anyone related to Young Master Xun 'er is either dead or missing. "
Murong Xi's heart skipped a beat but her expression did not change.
"Go on."
"Yes, I followed the clues I left behind and found Young Master Xun 'er's wet nurse, who you sent back to your hometown. However, just three days before I arrived, the wet nurse fell into a well and died in an accident. Later on, I found the coachman and the servants who had escorted Young Master Xun'er back. Of these people, some had disappeared, some had died of acute illnesses, and some were like wet nurses who had died in accidents. Now, I'm afraid no one knows what happened to Young Master Xun 'er. "
If Murong Xi had only been suspicious before, he was now certain that there was something wrong with Xun 'er.
"After they died, did you check if they had done anything suspicious before they died?"
"No, I've thoroughly investigated all of them. There's nothing unusual about them, and I didn't leave any clues about Young Master Xun 'er. Even if this lowly one were to take a look, I wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with these people's deaths. If someone had done something, it was done cleanly and without any sloppiness. "
Nothing was wrong, which was the biggest problem.
According to probability, if a town had someone die from an accident or disease within a month, it would be a coincidence.
However, everyone who had been in contact with Xun 'er was dead.
That was enough to prove that there was something wrong with this matter.
"I understand. Since you've failed in your task, go and receive your punishment. Remember, don't let anyone else know about this. "
Sui Zheng immediately thanked Murong Xi for sparing his life and left to receive his punishment.
There was indeed something wrong with that child.
Moreover, someone did not want him to know.
There were not many people who could do that. Besides, apart from those people, there was one more person he could ask about what had happened back then.
The strange thing was, why was that person not killed?
Murong Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at the night sky outside.
Either that person was completely unaware of what had happened, which was why he could stay in Dragon City without worry.
Or … this person is a more important part of this conspiracy.
If she was killed, the conspiracy would be affected.
But it did not matter. No matter what her identity was, she would find out.
The night sky outside was heavy, but it could not cover the treacherous clouds in Dragon City.
She thought that she would not be used to sleeping with the little thing for the first time.
She did not expect that she would sleep until the sun rose.
Only when his stomach growled did he reluctantly open his eyes.
"Good morning, little thing."
She rubbed the little thing's hair, which felt so good to the touch. The little thing still had the same dull expression, but his eyes were a little brighter.
She lowered her head and gently touched the little thing's forehead with her forehead.
Fortunately, the little thing did not have a fever after going through such a torment.
She really did not know whether it was because the little thing was lucky or because of his good physique.
"Wait here. I'll go find some clothes that you can wear. Then, I'll take you to dinner, okay? "
Although the little thing did not speak, it still responded to her words.
It nodded and sat on the bed, hugging the little quilt. It was so obedient that Lin Mengya's heart softened.
She got up, put on some clothes and went out.
She did not expect Baisu and Shang'er to be earlier than her. Before she could call for them, the two girls appeared in front of her with smiles on their faces.
"Miss, these are the clothes that we bought for the little thing. We don't know if they fit."
Shang'er was holding a few red cotton-padded clothes in her hands. When she got closer, Lin Mengya realized that it had everything from scorpions to socks for children.
She flipped it around and felt it.
It was very soft and thick.
The stitches were also very tight. She knew that it was warm and comfortable at first glance.
"It's hard for you to think like this. No matter how much you spend, I'll compensate you double."
But Shang'er pouted her red little mouth and pretended to look at her angrily.
"Why, Miss, do you look down on servants like us? You give us so much money every month that we can't even finish spending it. Can't we do some good deeds like you and accumulate some merits? You do all the good deeds alone, what about us? Are we going to be slaves in our next lives? "
Lin Mengya smiled and pinched Shang'er's little face, complaining to Baisu.
"Look at that sharp tongue of hers, she's really able to argue even if there's no reason. In the end, it's my fault. Fine, fine, fine. If you don't want it, then don't. It seems that I'll have to reduce your monthly allowance next month. Won't it be a waste if you can't finish spending it? "
Baisu had always laughed at the "disagreement" between Lin Mengya and Shang'er.
She had been serving Lin Mengya for a long time and knew that her master was not a stingy person.
When they were in Dajin, Baishao had told her privately that the money that her master had saved for the servants was quite considerable.
Now that they were in Weiguo, her master did not mistreat her.
As for things like money, although she did not care about it, she knew that the amount was already quite a lot.
Shang'er had been raised well over the past few months and she was more beautiful than a flower.
Few young ladies in the aristocratic families in Dragon City could be compared to Shang'er.
However, Baisu did not know that the three of them would become a part of Dragon City in the future.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they entered the inner room. Shang'er had a lively personality and liked children the most.
As soon as she entered the room, she rushed to the window and looked at the child's condition.
"I thought he looked like a little monkey yesterday. Today, he looks even more like one. Little boy, I'm your sister Shang'er. If anyone bullies you in the future, you can come and find me. Let's ask Sister Baisu to avenge you. "
"Tsk, you're the good guy, and Baisu will do the dirty work. Oh, you're really good at planning. "
Lin Mengya's mouth was sour, but her hands were very gentle. She put the clothes that the children were going to wear on the stove that was specially used to dry clothes.
In the stove, there were actually a lot of herbs in addition to the charcoal.
A child's skin was delicate. Although it healed quickly, it could not withstand too much stimulation.
When the clothes were warm, she took them over and put them on the little one.
Shang'er looked at her with envy.
"Miss, you must have taken care of a child before. If it were me, I might be flustered. "
Lin Mengya's hands paused for a moment and she did not reply.
Baisu, on the other hand, knocked on the little one's head. Shang'er looked at Baisu with tears in his eyes and accused her of mistreating him.
But for Lin Mengya, she was used to the daily life of these two clowns.
After putting on the little one's clothes, she patiently smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes.
"Is it warm? And if it hurts anywhere, you must tell me! "
Her gentle tone made Baisu and Shang'er stop fooling around at the same time.
The little thing looked at her with its big black eyes, but its little mouth cracked open and revealed a smile.
Lin Mengya was stunned because that smile was unique to a child's innocence and cuteness.
The little mouth cracked open, revealing the pink teeth inside, and his big eyes curved into a crescent moon.
It was a simple smile, but Lin Mengya's heart was shaken.
"Smile … This little thing can smile? Little thing, the clothes you're wearing were bought by Big Sister. Smile at Big Sister, okay? "
Shang'er's eyes widened in surprise and she rushed to the little one's feet.
But when the child turned his head, the smile on his face disappeared, and he returned to his previous dull self.
"Hey! You smiled just now, little one. If you smile at me, I will buy you sweet candies and soft cakes! "
