The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 286 "Xie Run, your son wet the bed!"

King Jing was silent for a while, swallowed his anger, and put Taotao's feet back under the quilt.

But before he could close his eyes, he was hit in the face again.

King Jing opened his eyes and looked at his son sleeping with his head facing his mother and his feet facing him, and finally realized what Xie Run meant.

He really underestimated this kid.

King Jing glanced at Xie Run, who was leaning against the inside and deliberately keeping a distance, and silently pushed Taotao inside.

He can't be the only one to get kicked.

Xie Run was half asleep when his son kicked him. Without even opening his eyes, he felt that it was his foot, pressed it with the quilt, and turned over to continue sleeping.

King Jing stared at her for a while and pressed Taotao's other leg with a quilt.

The next morning, Xie Run was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard King Jing's angry voice.

"Xie Run, your son wet the bed!"

Xie Run said without surprise: "Your Majesty, this is also your son!"

She said lazily, "It's common for children to wet the bed. Don't scream so loudly. It'll make people laugh."

King Jing said sullenly, "Who dares to laugh at me?"

Xie Run lazily opened his eyes, stared at King Jing for a moment, and then said, "I'm not making fun of you, I'm making fun of your son."

"If you yell any louder, everyone in the palace will know that your son wet the bed."

As Xie Runcai finished speaking, the culprit woke up, looked at King Jing with a sullen face with his eyes wide open, and suddenly grinned.

King Jing's face could no longer be darkened.

King Jing held the idea that if he himself did not have a good life, Xie Run would not have an easy life either, so he forcibly pulled Xie Run up.

Xie Run: “…”

Early in the morning, the maids and servants were all busy.

Xie Run helped Prince Jing change his clothes and said with a smile, "Prince, do you still want to sleep with Taotao tomorrow?"

"I think he likes you very much."

King Jing: "...I think he likes you too, why don't you sleep with him every day?"

Xie Run said innocently, "I am a woman, and I have the strongest feminine energy, unlike you, the prince, who has a strong and masculine energy."

"I just hope Taotao will be influenced by the prince and grow up to be a virile man in the future."

King Jing: "You are the only one who talks too much!"

Although King Jing left with a dark face, he still had the mind to tease his son before leaving.

Xie Run took a nap, and when he woke up he heard Dan Tao say, "Master, the prince has given the young master a lot of gifts, including two fine inkstones. He said they were just given to him by the palace a while ago."

Xie Run sighed, "Fang Yuaner must hate me even more now."

Xiao Shu lifted the curtain and snorted softly, "I just want to piss her off to death!"

"How many times has she plotted against the master? The master didn't fight back out of consideration for the prince, so she thought the master was easy to bully and put all the blame on the master."

"People like her will always blame the master unless he has a worse life than hers."

"Sister Xiaoshu is getting more and more irritable now." Xie Run teased with a smile.

Xiao Shu was a little embarrassed and lowered her voice a lot: "This servant really can't stand Concubine Fang, no, it's Concubine Fang!"

"Everyone is worried when the Third Young Master is in danger, but she starts blaming the master."

"She didn't even think about it. If the Master really wanted to harm the Third Young Master, there would be plenty of opportunities. Why would she leave him with something to hold against her?"

"Qiuxiang brought the Third Young Master away from the mansion that day, causing so much trouble for the Master, and she's still not satisfied..."

"Alright, alright." Xie Run hurriedly stopped him. "After hearing all this complaining so early in the morning, I'm afraid I'll be thinking about these things all day long."

"I didn't do anything to her, but I ended up getting mad at myself."

Xiao Shu immediately shut up: "Master, I won't say anything more."

The two men helped Xie Run change his clothes.

While combing her hair, Xie Run suddenly remembered: "Concubine Wan is gone, and I don't know what to do with her funeral."

"And the girls around her..." Xie Run paused, "Go call them over. I have something to ask."

According to King Jing, Wan Linlang was killed by Fang Yuaner.

But is Wan Linlang such a weak person?

Outside the mansion, there are not many constraints on status and rules. Can Fang Yuaner be a match for Wan Linlang?

Xie Run didn't believe that Wan Linlang died just like that.

She had to listen to what the maids around Wan Linlang said.

After breakfast, Xie Run was about to meet the housekeepers, but Chunjuan came forward and asked for a meeting first.

Chun Juan: "Master, I have something to report."

Xie Run: "You say."

"These days, the master has been asking me to investigate the eldest son's injury, and I have indeed found some information."

Chun Juan said, "I first asked the nurse and two maids who carried the eldest young master out of the front yard."

"The nurse is timid. She has been through so much and is so frightened that her memory of what happened that day is already vague. She can't answer any questions.

"The two maids remember quite a bit, but not much useful information."

Originally, the wet nurse was planning to run away with the eldest son in her arms.

She wasn't the only one who served the eldest master personally.

The slightest movement woke up the two big maids.

These two people are worried about the eldest son, and they also have selfish motives.

If the Imperial Guards broke in, the first place to suffer would be the front yard. Of course, they would want to take the opportunity to escape to the back yard to seek safety.

The wet nurse took two maids, discussed the route, and then quietly slipped away through the back door with the eldest master.

I didn't meet anyone or encounter any problems along the way, but when I was at the Moon-Watching Pavilion, I didn't see the road clearly and accidentally fell down.

Even if they wanted to find someone to shift the blame to, they couldn't find anyone.

After hearing this, Xie Run slowly said, "We chose this wet nurse because she was soft-hearted, had no opinions of her own, and only cared about taking care of the child. She wouldn't cause trouble like the previous one."

"She's not a courageous person to begin with. When she heard the news that the Imperial Guards were about to break in, she didn't immediately send someone to the backyard to deliver the message. Instead, she took the eldest son away on her own. This is rare."

"Did she explain why?"

Chun Juan: "This news was told to the wet nurse by a servant girl in the courtyard. It was because of her that the grandmother was frightened and decided to take the eldest son away."
