Chapter 261: Loftiness, You actually dared to play with benwang
All the accounts in the past incidents?
Is Xiao Tianyao asking for reconciliation?
Lin Chujiu squinted her eyes and looked at Xiao Tianyao with puzzlement. Unfortunately, the carriage was too dark. Lin Chujiu couldn’t see anything except a vague shadow.
Or should I take the initiative to ask?!
“Wangye, are you… …” Lin Chujiu just opened her mouth, when the carriage suddenly bumped into something. The carriage swayed violently, Lin Chujiu, who was leaning forward almost fell: “Ahhh…”
Lin Chujiu was so scared that she screamed, as her body fluttered uncontrollably. When she thought that she would badly fall, a big hand suddenly buckled around her waist. She was forced to change direction but didn’t let her fall to the ground, instead… …
She fell in Xiao Tianyao’s arms. Or more likely, she was in a posture like an eating dog, squatting on Xiao Tianyao’s thigh.
“Wangye, Wangfei, there was a deep pit on the road, so the carriage bumped a bit.” The guard and the coachman immediately pleaded guilty. When they heard Xiao Tianyao only hummed, they continued to drive.
“Oh…” Although she fell on Xiao Tianyao’s thigh, she still fell a bit hard. Lin Chujiu felt in pain, so her face was wrinkling. She wanted to get up, but she found the arms on her waist was strong and heavy, she couldn’t move.
“Wangye…” Let me get up!
“Stupid, don’t move.” When Xiao Tianyao didn’t hear the words he wanted, he was a little depressed. But thinking about Lin Chujiu was in his arms, his depression disappeared.
“I…” I’ll think about it.
Xiao Tianyao didn’t wait for Lin Chujiu to finish, he once again cut off her words: “You have injuries in the back, so don’t move again. If you move, benwang will shut you down.”
“But… …” I feel so uncomfortable.
“No, buts. Bengwang saved you, you can only obey.” Xiao Tianyao said, as his other hand swayed over Lin Chujiu’s waist, soothing her mood like a puppy: “You’re only sitting in the carriage, but you almost killed yourself. Say, how many times you died, if benwang didn’t save you?”
“This is an accident. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be assassinated at all.” Lin Chujiu tried to struggle several times. But after failing for several times, she only quietly squats down.
Xiao Tianyao was very satisfied with Lin Chujiu’s obedience, so he added: “This time, you brought this disaster upon yourself. Those assassins wanted your life.”
“Me? How is that possible? How did I bring disaster to myself?” Lin Chujiu was not convinced. She wanted to get up and talked about it with Xiao Tianyao. However, she just looked up, but was pressed by Xiao Tianyao: “Injured person should behave.”
“What trouble did I cause?” The carriage bumped into something again, Lin Chujiu was really uncomfortable. She felt like her internal organs were being pressed. So in order to make herself feel comfortable, Lin Chujiu lay on Xiao Tianyao’s thigh and wrapped her arms around Xiao Tianyao’s arm.
This action pleased Xiao Tianyao, so he was in a good mood. He generously cleared Lin Chujiu’s doubt: “You went to the Ci Entang and touched something untouchable.”
“What? You mean, those abused and abandoned children?” When Lin Chujiu spoke, her warm breath was sprayed on Xiao Tianyao’s arm. Xiao Tianyao’s body became stiff and lose his mind for a moment: “What did you just say?”
Lin Chujiu didn’t think much about it, she repeated her words. Xiao Tianyao’s mind was still preoccupied. But, he could give an answer without difficulty.
“The abused and abandoned children was nothing. They were only few in numbers. But, didn’t you notice that all of the children in Ci Entang are only small children? And most of them are girls and disabled children?” They were weak and obviously looked very ugly.
“Yes, I am also surprised by this. What about the grown-up kids? Is it really difficult for babies to survive in the Ci Entang?” Lin Chujiu was very busy to save the children and didn’t think of it. But now that Xiao Tianyao mentioned it, she found out something was wrong.
All the children there were physically weak and sick.
“Of course, Ci Entang received a lot of children every year. They also grow up. It’s just, the children you saw were the children that were abandoned by Ci Entang itself.” Xiao Tianyao said as he caressed Lin Chujiu’s hair. His actions were very gentle. Unfortunately, the two of them were immersed in the topic, so they both failed to notice it.
Lin Chujiu heard something wrong, so she asked another question: “Where are the healthy children?”
“In different places. The children in the Ci Entang are divided into 3 class. The lowest class was the ones you see. The middle-class children were raised in secrecy, until the age of 7 or 8. Then, they will be sold. If they grow up slightly better, they will become slaves or prostitutes. Lastly, the strongest among the children will be raised as assassins. The group of assassins that you encountered tonight, used to be the abandoned children in the Ci Entang.”
The Ci Entang existed for a long time now, the activities inside were very complicated. These were the only information that Xiao Tianyao could get, he didn’t conceal anything to Lin Chujiu.
“Who is the person managing the Ci Entang? Is it the emperor?” Lin Chujiu’s face looked dignified. At this moment, she totally forgot that she was still in Xiao Tianyao’s arms.
“No, the emperor will not pay attention to a group of abandoned children. He doesn’t know what is going on in there.” Although the emperor has spies everywhere, a person who only stayed inside the palace, wouldn’t be able to see every single thing.
“How can the emperor not care about a group of abandoned children? If no one is concerned about them, how will they live a good life?” Fortunately, Lin Chujiu was in Xiao Tianyao’s arms, so no one could see the pain and sadness in her eyes.
She was saddened by the issue about the children, who were treated as tools. She was glad that she had live in a good period of time.
“That’s why those people involved wanted to kill you. As long as you continued paying attention to the Ci Entang, there will be many people who will keep an eye to it.” As a result, those people involved will have to stop their business.
“I…it’s not intentional.” But, she was glad that she went.
“Benwang knows that you didn’t do it intentionally, you are stupid. If you have a brain, benwang doesn’t need to worry about you.” Xiao Tianyao spoke naturally, he only realized what he said when he finished.
Sure enough, in front of Lin Chujiu, he gradually put down his guard.
Lin Chujiu knew that she had brought trouble to Xiao Tianyao, so she said in a low voice: “I will be cautious in the future. I’ll try not to cause trouble.”
No wonder that when Xiao Tianyao heard that she was in Ci Entang, he immediately came over. And no wonder that even though he hated the place, he still sat there and accompanied her. Originally, it was to give her shelter and give warning to the people who will dare to attack her.
Thinking of this, Lin Chujiu’s nose was sour. She suddenly felt that Xiao Tianyao was actually very good to her. It was a bit awkward, but she was thankful.
“Wangye, thank you.” Lin Chujiu couldn’t help but held tight Xiao Tianyao’s arm and buried her face into it.
“Benwang saved you, not to hear you say ‘thank you’.” Just to hear ‘thank you’? Lin Chujiu must be dreaming!
“I know, Wangye just said that all the previous incidents were dismissed, so I don’t need to say ‘thank you’.”
Remembering Xiao Tianyao’s words, Lin Chujiu acted like a big person.
“How clever.” Xiao Tianyao pretended to be angry and lightly knocked Lin Chujiu’s head.
“It hurts… …” Lin Chujiu exclaimed with exaggerated tone. Xiao Tianyao busily rubbed Lin Chujiu’s head and asked: “Does it really hurt?” He obviously didn’t put any force.
“It hurts so much, it really hurts!” Lin Chujiu exaggerated her tone even more. Xiao Tianyao immediately understood that she was only acting, so he couldn’t help but rubbed her head a bit more: “You actually dared to play with benwang!”
Listening to his tone, there was a little less imposing manner… …
