SFS Chapter 140: I Spoil Myself
Chapter 140: I Spoil Myself
Su Heting did not miss Cao Ying's reaction, but he did not get involved in the matter anymore.
Sometimes doctors know better how to make life worse than death. Su Que and Lai Chijiao will let Cao Ying tell the truth.
When he returned to his yard, Qiao Xi had just finished shaving Qiao Chengwang's hair.
The hair on your body is given by your parents and should not be cut at will, but Qiao Chengwang's hair has been in a mess after being imprisoned for so many years.
Later, in order to make it easier to insert a needle, Cao Ying cut his hair randomly in some places, so that his hair became uneven.
Just by looking at the hair, Qiao Xi could think of the suffering he had endured in the past, and felt very uncomfortable.
Even though the brother and sister hadn't seen each other for many years, the brother could understand his sister's mood at a glance. He simply followed his sister's example and asked her to help cut all his hair.
Touching his bald head, Qiao Chengwang smiled and said, "It's good. Just think of it as starting over."
Su Heting went over to help clean up the hair on the floor and smiled, "Everything will be fine."
In order to keep it secret and out of guilt, Qiao Xi did not arrange anyone to serve Qiao Chengwang for the time being. Except for Su Heting's help with cleaning at first, Qiao Xi took care of him personally afterwards.
Su Heting didn't want his wife to be tired, so he naturally rushed to help.
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
Qiao Chengwang looked at him with gentle eyes.
He had learned about the two of them from Qiao Xi, and he also knew that although Su Heting was the second prince, he was not close to the emperor. He was willing to come to the capital this time to help Qiao Xi save him and take revenge.
Qiao Chengwang felt grateful and thanked him sincerely.
Qiao Xi pretended to glare at him, "We're family, why are you being so polite to him? He's always getting ahead of others. If you're too polite to him, how will you support me in the future?"
She looked at Su Heting with a rather proud look, "Now I have my mother's family to rely on, huh."
Su Heting understood her meaning in just a moment and agreed, "Yes, Fourth Brother, there's no need to be so formal.
I've had no one to teach me since I was little, and Xibaoer and I have been groping our way through life by accident. If there's anything I don't do well, just tell me, Fourth Brother."
The two of them had a tacit understanding about their rebirth and had not yet told Qiao Chengwang, so Qiao Chengwang did not know that Su Heting was the former prince.
They just thought that he was really a child who was abandoned by the emperor and grew up in the mountains.
But even so, Qiao Chengwang knew that Su Heting was not as bad as he said.
Touching his numb left leg, Qiao Chengwang pursed his lips.
He was imprisoned by Ji Chuan when he was nine years old. Over the years, he had never practiced martial arts or studied. Now he is a paraplegic and a useless person.
Su Heting takes care of his sister in everything, so how could he bully her? And why does his sister need his support?
The couple cooperated like this, obviously because they were worried that he would become depressed, so how could he let them down?
After the three of them had dinner together in the evening, Qiao Chengwang said, "You have too much to do, so you don't have to look after me personally. Just help me find a reliable servant and some books for me to pass the time."
Although he had wasted more than ten years, he had the opportunity now and had to plan for the rest of his life. He couldn't really be a useless person who had to rely on his sister and brother-in-law for everything.
Qiao Xi said, "The Chinese New Year is just two days away. Let's wait until after the New Year. Then we can find someone to take care of Fourth Brother."
In addition to her previous life, she hadn't had a good New Year's celebration for a long time. Now, with her lover and relatives around her, Qiao Xi wanted to have a good reunion year.
She didn't even go to Cao Ying's place. Su Heting naturally understood her feelings and said, "Yes, let's have a good New Year first."
But when he left, he still sent Chen Shan to rest outside so that if Qiao Chengwang got up at night, there would be someone to help.
When Qiao Xi returned to her room, she asked Bei Qiao to find needle and thread for her.
Although the temperature in Beijing is higher than in northern Xinjiang, it is still a cold season, and she wants to sew a hat for Qiao Chengwang.
It's just that she didn't learn housework seriously when she was young. First she cut the clothes incorrectly, then she sewed them crookedly, or she almost pricked her hands.
Su Heting couldn't stand it, so he glanced at her and took the needle and thread from her hand. "When you were little, I asked you to learn, but you always argued with me, saying that there was an embroidery lady and you didn't need to do it yourself."
He threaded the needle expertly, humming, "It's because I spoiled you too much that you can't even sew a hat properly. It's a good thing you married me."
Qiao Xi stood up and hugged his neck, her eyebrows curved as she lay on his back, "Thank you, husband, for not despising me."
Su Heting tilted his face to the side, "I spoiled him myself, even if I dislike him, I still pamper him."
Qiao Xi kissed him on the cheek, "My husband is really amazing."
The hand that was around his neck changed to massaging his shoulders.
"Flattering is useless. The best I can do is sew. I'd better let Bei Qiao and the others handle the embroidery patterns."
He had been the crown prince for more than ten years and had never even picked up a needle. This was a skill that his second brother knew, but he could only sew.
Qiao Xi didn't want to embarrass him, nor herself, and decided to accept his suggestion. She replied, "Okay, let Bei Qiao embroider it."
After kneading her for a while, Su Heting took her hand and sat down beside her, his eyes dark and unclear, "Take a break, you'll be tired later."
It was a small hint between husband and wife, and Qiao Xi immediately understood what he meant.
But she was really happy today and was very grateful to Su Heting.
Grateful that he was reborn and continued to be by her side, grateful that he loved her as much as before.
His heart was soft and his body was even softer. Su Heting enjoyed himself very much that night.
When the lovemaking stopped, he held her close to him and stroked her back.
Qiao Xi rested her head on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and whispered, "Brother Crown Prince, can Fourth Brother's leg really be cured?"
Although the fourth brother appeared calm, she knew that he hoped to stand up, avenge the Qiao family, and revive the Qiao family.
She was afraid that her fourth brother would have to sit in a chair for the rest of his life.
"Su Que and the others will do their best."
After a pause, Su Heting said, "Xi Baoer, even if Fourth Brother cannot stand up, he is not incompetent.
Today I saw that Fourth Brother is interested in reading, so I will find him a good teacher in the future."
As long as people are motivated, they will be useful. Just looking at Qiao Chengwang's attitude when facing difficulties, Su Heting feels that he is not a simple person.
Qiao Xi shifted her body, buried her face in the crook of Su Heting's neck, and said quietly, "No matter how the emperor dies in the future, I will never feel satisfied."
Su Heting heard her hatred and asked, "If you're not sleepy, can we do something else?"
Xi Baoer wants to have a good New Year, but the emperor may not be willing to let them have some free time, so she finds something for the emperor to do so that he is unable to take care of them.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi quickly released her strength and collapsed weakly, "I'm tired."
Su Heting chuckled, "What I mean is, should we go and interrogate Cao Ying?"
Qiao Xi's face flushed.
Misunderstood.
She kicked him, "You did it on purpose."
The man grabbed her feet and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes, I did it on purpose. I deliberately misled you."
Qiao Xi felt that he was teasing her and started to whimper.
Su Heting worked hard to dress her up and held her hand as they walked out of the yard.
Cao Ying was tortured to death by Lai Chijiao in broad daylight, and had to admit that it was indeed Lai Chijiao who coveted the Ge family's medical skills, which led Princess Lan Hui to have sexual thoughts about Lai Chijiao, causing the Ge family to be destroyed.
The death of his wife was a knot in Lai Chijiao's heart.
If Cao Ying could not be killed for the time being, Lai Chijiao would have cut her into pieces on the spot.
However, her condition was no better than death at the moment, and she had already fainted from the pain.
Lai Chijiao hated her and was guarding her personally. When he saw Su Heting and the other man coming, he directly brought a basin of cold water and poured it on Cao Ying.
Cao Ying woke up with a start in pain. One of her eyes had been gouged out by the leper, and she could only use her other eye, which had been swollen into a slit after being beaten, to see Qiao Xi with difficulty.
"Qiao Xi, how did you recover your memory?"
She was always thinking about the confusion in her heart.
Qiao Xi thought that the old man’s memory damage was similar to Qiao Chengwang’s situation, and maybe he could use this to find out who murdered the old man.
Her eyebrows turned slightly, and she said, "Of course someone helped me."
"impossible."
Cao Ying didn't know what Qiao Xi was thinking, so he subconsciously retorted, "Impossible, he can't help you."
Qiao Xi smiled, "That's the fact. Why do you think it's impossible?"
