Chapter 491
Xu Wulang glared at his younger brother, but his eyes were full of smiles, “Enough nonsense, tell the guards to keep an eye on him. Since we finally caught him, we can’t let him die.”
“Don’t worry, our brothers are experienced. They were already wary of his movements on the way home.”
The two brothers were talking when they suddenly saw two female relatives running out from inside. When Xu Qilang saw it, he shouted loudly, “Your Highness, 5th Sister-in-law.”
It didn’t take long for others to receive the news and rush out one after another. Even Senior Madam Xu walked out with the support of her eldest daughter-in-law, “Wulang and the others are back?”
Xu Qilang and Xu Wulang came forward to greet their mother and everyone gathered around them to ask questions. Mu Mingtang stood at the door and looked around for a long time. She didn’t see Xie Xuanchen, which led to her heart suddenly feeling chilly.
Senior Madam Xu saw Mu Mingtang’s expression was wrong and asked, “Wulang, Qilang, where is His Highness?”
Xu Qilang replied with an ‘oh’ at the question and without thinking much, he answered smoothly, “His Highness and 4th Brother went to resettle King Dongdan. Since His Highness was injured, he said he would get the wound bandaged before coming back.”
As soon as Xu Wulang heard this, he quickly jabbed his brother, but it was too late. Mu Mingtang’s eyes slowly widened, “Is he injured?”
This time, even Xu Qilang knew that he had misspoken, “It’s actually not serious…it’s just a minor injury.”
Mu Mingtang didn’t believe it and looked at him with an expression that basically said, you’re helping him lie to me. Xu Qilang was pinched by an unknown sister-in-law and did not dare to speak after that. Senior Madam Xu was so angry that she gave him a hard blow with her cane. Xu Qilang didn’t dare to hide, so he looked at the accusing eyes of his sisters-in-law and nieces with very aggrieved eyes, “It’s really just a minor injury…”
Xie Xuanchen locked Ye Luji up properly and treated the wounds on his body before he walked to the Xu family residence while talking to Senior General Xu and Xu Silang. Senior General Xu was now sincerely convinced by this young man who was about the same age as his grandson, “Your Highness is brave and resourceful. I will guard you for the rest of my life, even though I am ashamed that I do not have as keen of a foresight ability as Your Highness.”
“There is no need for Senior General Xu to say things like this. Zhongshan’s current stability is all due to Senior General Xu’s hard work and 10 years of strict defence.”
Xie Xuanchen always spoke with the tone of a superior. Even just now, what he said was very much like a monarch praising the ministers who had made meritorious service in defending the city.
But Senior General Xu couldn’t resist and felt that everything should be like this. The two of them were talking when suddenly someone ran past the door and shouted from a distance, “Xie Xuanchen.”
Xie Xuanchen paused for a moment before he immediately greeted her with a smile, “Why did you come out? Were you perhaps waiting here the entire time?”
Mu Mingtang ignored him and immediately looked at Xie Xuanchen’s clothes, “Are you injured?”
Xie Xuanchen didn’t know why his condition was exposed before he even entered the door. Xie Xuanchen originally wanted to say he was okay, but when he looked at Mu Mingtang’s distressed eyes, he suddenly changed his words, “That’s right. But it’s not a fatal injury, so you don’t have to worry.”
