Chapter 398 Hongxuan steps on a parrot to death
The wet nurse took Hongjin and the green-feathered, long-beaked parrot to play in the open space in the front yard.
The weather was very good, and a slight breeze blew, as if a pair of gentle hands were caressing Hongjin's chubby little face.
He picked up a sunflower seed, handed it to the parrot, and said in a baby voice:
"You said, pay your respects to your mother!"
Unexpectedly, the parrot glared at Hongjin with its round little eyes, then turned around as if in a fit of anger, with its back to Hongjin, without saying a word.
Hongjin did not give up, and picked up another sunflower seed and put it next to the parrot's mouth. His small figure was cast a tiny shadow under the sunlight.
The parrot turned away and never said a word no matter how Hongjin teased it.
Just then, Hongxuan came over from the front and saw Hongjin playing here from a distance, then she ran over here like the wind.
When he saw the long-haired, green-beaked parrot standing there, he instantly became furious. Isn't this the woman's parrot?
No wonder Jin'er never plays with me recently. It turns out that the nanny was afraid that I would be angry, so she secretly gave the parrot to Hongjin to play with.
Thinking of this, Hongxuan picked up the parrot and threw it hard, and the parrot fell to the ground.
After a while, the parrot was knocked unconscious.
Jin'er really likes this parrot.
He saw his brother drop the parrot to the ground, so he squatted down hurriedly, carefully picked up the parrot, and put it in his thin jacket to help warm the parrot.
But the parrot fell so hard that it was still dizzy for a long time.
Hong Jin did not give up, blinking his eyes and begging the nurse:
"Mammy, I don't want the bird to close its eyes!"
The nurse's heart softened, and she quickly took the parrot from Hongjin's hand, gently placing it on the ground. She stroked its beautiful feathers with her hand and muttered:
"Why don't we go to the front yard and find someone who knows birds to treat it!"
Unexpectedly, her action completely angered Hongxuan.
Hongxuan originally thought: It was that woman who drove my mother away and made my father sick with anger, and Hongjin still treated the bird she gave him as a treasure!
At first he threw the parrot away just out of anger, but later he saw Hongjin actually treating it like a treasure, holding the dead bird in his arms, and the nanny even wanted to find someone to treat it!
He suddenly became furious, picked up the bird again, and before anyone could react, he put it under his feet and stomped on it hard several times!
In an instant, the parrot's skin was torn apart, blood was flowing, and it was completely dead!
Hongjin suddenly went crazy and cried out, "My bird, my bird..."
After crying, she came to Hongxuan and hit her with her little fists!
Hongxuan was not willing to show weakness. He firmly believed that the bird was given by that woman, and Jin'er treated it as a treasure. She really recognized a thief as her mother!
He stretched out his hand and slapped Hongjin twice on the butt!
Hongjin felt that his brother not only stepped on his bird to death, but also spanked him. He immediately burst into tears, waving his hands and shouting:
"Brother is bad, brother is bad..."
The wet nurse beside him was frightened and hurriedly pulled Hongjin into her arms and coaxed him for a long time.
The wet nurse held Hongjin in her arms and kissed his forehead gently, thinking: The eldest wife is not at home, and if the children make a fuss, the people in other rooms will probably laugh at us!
She smiled and coaxed Xuan'er:
"Xuan'er, be good and go to your aunt Cailian's room. Your brother knows he's wrong!"
Unexpectedly, Hongxuan refused to leave no matter what. She stood beside the nanny blankly, looking at Jin'er crying loudly, and she was even more determined to teach him a lesson:
"You can't recognize a thief as your mother!"
The noisy crying caught Jiaorou's attention. At that moment, she was thinking of going to the study to see the prince.
Seeing what sounded like children crying in front of me, I immediately wanted to come over and take a look.
The wind started to blow, and the early spring wind was still a little cold, ruffling the hair of Xuan'er and Jin'er who were still angry.
Jiaorou walked over and saw Hongxuan and Hongjin crying. She was about to get angry and scold the wet nurse - what are you looking at these children!
When she saw the dead parrot on the ground, she immediately understood what was going on.
The parrot with shiny feathers had died peacefully at this moment. The bloodstains on the ground were eye-catching and particularly glaring in this warm early spring!
Jiao Rou smiled and comforted the nurse, then whispered to her, "Now, while no one is watching, take Jin Er back quickly, otherwise..."
After saying that, she deliberately stretched out her hand, pointed in the direction of the study and nodded, meaning that if the prince found out that she had not raised the child well, she would probably be scolded!
The nanny hurriedly held Hongjin in one hand and led Xuan'er with the other and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Hongxuan was angry with Hongjin and refused to go with him no matter what.
Jiao Rou immediately smiled and said, "Take Hong Jin back first. I'll send someone to send Hong Xuan back later!"
Jiao Rou looked at the stubborn little boy in front of her, tapped his forehead with her hand, and said with a smile:
"Let's go, Sanniang will take you back!
Listen to me, Sanniang is on your side.
This bird was given to me by her, so I must kill it to vent my anger!"
Hong Jin's eyes widened instantly, and he asked Jiao Rou in disbelief:
"Sanniang, are you serious?"
Jiaorou nodded instantly, took Hongxuan's hand and walked towards the eldest lady's room.
When they were almost at the door, Jiaorou bent down gently and said with a smile:
"You are such a filial and good child! Your mother is so lucky to have you!"
Seeing that no one was around, she whispered a few words into Hongxuan's ear. At first, Hongxuan didn't believe it and asked Jiaorou with wide eyes:
"If I do that, will my mother really come back?"
Later, Jiao Rou smiled and assured him:
"You are the prince. If you make any mistake, the Duke of Tong's Mansion will not let her off easily!"
At this moment, Cailian came out to call Hongxuan to eat. Jiaorou handed Xuan'er's little hand to Cailian and deliberately yelled at Cailian:
"From now on, please keep an eye on the two children. Don't think you can slack off just because the eldest wife is away!"
Just before Cailian took Xuan'er in, Jiaorou deliberately winked at Hongxuan, indicating that he must remember her words!
After all this was done, Jiaorou took Caiping back to the room with satisfaction. She told Caiping: Be sure to throw the dead parrot in a conspicuous place at the entrance of Cuizhuyuan!
There was still an hour before dinner, and the eldest wife sat quietly at the table.
Suddenly, the little girl came in and reported: "The master is back!"
When the eldest wife heard that her father had returned, her heart tightened, fearing that her father would scold her!
I can fool my mother, but my father is such a shrewd man that he can't even hide a glance from her!
Master Tong walked into the main hall slowly with a leisurely pace.
The little maids took Master Tong's court robes and helped him change into a green gown. When he looked up, he found that Bijun was back!
Master Tong's sharp eyes frightened the eldest wife so much that she shivered. At this moment, she really wanted to dig open a crack in the ground and crawl in!
Mrs. Tong stood up and walked to Mr. Tong, asking:
"Master, why are you back late today?"
Master Tong smiled slightly, glanced at Bijun who was sitting anxiously at the table, and said with a smile:
"Madam, now that Jun'er is back, why don't you go to the kitchen and take a look at tonight's dishes!"
Mrs. Tong immediately left with the little girl, smiling as she walked:
"That's right, Jun'er likes sweet-scented osmanthus, glutinous rice, lotus root, and assorted dumplings. I'm making some side dishes!"
Master Tong walked up to the eldest wife, who slowly stood up and timidly called out:
"Amma..."
Master Tong knew everything in his heart. Prince Beijing had not attended court for several days, causing an uproar in the court and the country!
If it weren't for the fact that everyone regarded him as a veteran minister of three dynasties, they would have said all sorts of nasty things to him!
Things had come to this point, and he could only sigh and helplessly asked the eldest wife:
"You didn't tell your mother the truth, did you?
She is not as open-minded as Ama, and Ama hopes you will keep it secret from her!"
The eldest wife smiled and nodded. Yes, my mother is very narrow-minded. We can’t tell her those things, or she will be scared to death!
Master Tong gently stroked his sparse beard and said after a while:
"No matter who she is, my Duke Tong's Mansion once had a queen!
Isn't she just Lin Daiyu? Are you admitting defeat like this?"
I was halfway through my words when I heard the girl come over and say:
"Master, it's time to eat!"
Master Tong glanced at the eldest wife and said with a smile:
"Come on, Bijun, let's go have dinner!
Look at the crispy duck that my baby daughter loves to eat, is it still the same taste? "
A tear fell quietly down the slightly haggard face of the eldest wife, and she choked and said:
"Ama, let's go eat!"
