LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 1239 - 1234: Mom, Be Careful
Chapter 1239: Chapter 1234: Mom, Be Careful
Chu Xi immediately corrected herself, “No…nothing, where does Aunt Rong Sheng plan to go?”
Chu Yifeng sneered coldly, “There’s no need to pay attention.”
Aunt Rong Sheng had nothing to do with him, and naturally, she had nothing to do with his daughter.
The less she was influenced by her, the less likely Chu Xi would become as cold and heartless as her.
Stopped in her tracks, Rong Sheng turned her head to look at the intimate father-daughter duo, her gaze inevitably tightening.
The more she looked at Chu Xi, the more Chu Xi felt the urge to follow her.
She wrapped her arms around Chu Yifeng’s neck, saying, “Daddy, I want to go play some more.”
“Where else do you want to go?” Chu Yifeng was always unreasonably indulgent towards her, granting her every wish.
“To…follow Aunt Rong Sheng.” Chu Xi felt somewhat guilty and her voice became softer.
Chu Yifeng instinctively wanted to refuse, “Don’t learn from her, stay away from her.”
“Wuu…” Chu Xi pouted, about to cry immediately.
Chu Yifeng’s heart felt as if it had been punched, and he quickly patted her back to soothe her, “Alright, alright, Daddy will take you to go with her.”
He held Chu Xi in his arms and turned to follow.

The moment he caught up, Rong Sheng retreated a step, “Don’t come over!”
Her dislike and resistance towards Chu Yifeng were growing stronger, especially when he was holding Chu Xi intimately.
Deep inside, she couldn’t help but feel a jealousy that she herself hadn’t noticed before.
Chu Yifeng didn’t care what Rong Sheng thought. At this time, leaving the house with a medicine box, besides going to the Xiao family to look for Xiao Qingyu, she had nowhere else to go.
He decided to just take Chu Xi and wait at the Xiao family.
He arrived earlier than Rong Sheng and sat in the carriage with Chu Xi, who peeked her head out from his arms, “Daddy, why is…Aunt Rong Sheng standing at the door for so long without going in?”
Chu Yifeng said with a hint of schadenfreude, “She has no clout, probably unable to get in.”
A doctor and a punished seventh young master, what kind of treatment could they expect in the Xiao family?
“Clout…” Chu Xi held her small chin and pondered, “Does Daddy have clout?”
Chu Yifeng pinched her small face, “Of course, your daddy is a prince of the current dynasty, as well as the Pavilion Master of Silver Moon Pavilion and the leader of the ghost market.”
Chu Xi didn’t quite understand the string of titles Chu Yifeng mentioned but she knew just from hearing…Daddy must be amazing!
She cuddled against Chu Yifeng’s neck, rubbing against him coquettishly, “Daddy, lend your clout to Aunt Rong Sheng!”
“No.”
Chu Yifeng firmly refused. His possessiveness over Rong Sheng had greatly diminished, and had it not been for Chu Xi insisting on coming along, he wouldn’t have bothered with whether Rong Sheng was coming to seek out Xiao Qingyu or not.
Interestingly enough, he used to be uncontrollably domineering towards Rong Sheng, but after their recent encounters, the images in his mind had grown scarcer and his extreme thoughts about her vanished completely.
His feelings for Rong Sheng…were becoming more and more alien.
Chu Xi pouted, watching Rong Sheng being stopped at the door of the Xiao family, unable to enter, her cool, elegant brows furrowed deeply.
“Mom is unhappy…”
This was the easiest thing for her to detect.
When mom was unhappy, her gaze was especially cold, and her whole being emitted a chill.
In the past, mom would only be like this when she mentioned daddy.
Chu Xi glanced at the tall man holding her, pursed her lips, and burst into tears, “I want Daddy’s clout, I want it! I want to go inside and play! Wuu wuu wuu…”
Chu Yifeng: …
Rong Sheng stood at the entrance of the Xiao family, and the steward’s excuses made her premonition increasingly ominous.
Something was definitely amiss with Xiao Qingyu in the Xiao family.
“Wait!”
She called out to the steward again, “I am Young Master Xiao’s doctor. If I cannot cure him, it would be a dereliction of my duty. Today, I must see my patient.”
The steward was a confidant of Xiao Muyan, lurking under the chief steward for many years, his old face smooth as can be. Previously, Rong Sheng had come along with the emperor and empress, so he had to be courteous to her, but today, she came alone…
He had already given her enough face, but now if she herself would not leave, she shouldn’t blame him for his impoliteness!
He directly ordered someone to drive Rong Sheng out, “Our Xiao family has the doctors in the prince’s mansion to treat the Seventh Young Master’s injuries. There’s no need for an external doctor to worry. Please, come back another time!”
The sinister coldness in his narrow eyes also held a warning for Rong Sheng.
Rong Sheng’s hands clenched into fists unconsciously; tonight, Xiao Qingyu was bound to run into trouble!
If he met with an accident, Su Yingxue’s investigation into the Xiao family would come to a dead end.
Tonight, she must ensure Xiao Qingyu’s safety!
Just as she was about to shoot out the silver needle in her hand, a leisurely and cold sneer sounded, “Since when has the Xiao family’s threshold become so high, so difficult to enter?”
The steward’s eyes narrowed at once, “Who dares to be so arrogant?”
Did they really think the Xiao family was some minor household they could come and go from as they pleased?!
Chu Yifeng stepped onto the steps, his white robe embroidered with hidden dragon patterns fluttering without wind, exuding a chill in the cold night.
The darkness in his eyes was cold and bloodthirsty.
Having been in the Xiao family for many years and widely knowledgeable, the steward trembled violently when Chu Yifeng’s gaze settled on him, his knees buckling under the pressure and hitting the ground.
“To… to meet Your Highness!”
Chu Yifeng’s presence alone was enough for one to distinguish him from the emperor; while the emperor was benevolent to his subjects, Chu Yifeng was like a demon from hell, cruel, bloodthirsty, and sinister.
Chu Yifeng’s voice was chilling, “Weren’t you acting so high and mighty? The Xiao family’s threshold is so high, bring it for Your Highness to see.”
The steward trembled on the ground, “This servant would not dare! I have shown negligence, please forgive me, Your Highness! Please come inside and I will immediately notify the Second Young Master to receive Your Highness.”
Chu Yifeng sneered, and just as the steward turned and ran inside, Chu Yifeng, carrying Chu Xi, stepped directly over the threshold of the Xiao family’s main entrance.
The Xiao family’s servants did not dare to stop him, even kneeling on the ground, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Chu Xi, carried into the Xiao family by Chu Yifeng, looked back at Rong Sheng, “Mom… Aunt Rong Sheng, aren’t you coming in?”
Rong Sheng’s gaze resting on her was tender, but it became cold and distant instantly when Chu Yifeng looked her way, as if she was above worldly concerns.
Chu Yifeng pinched Chu Xi’s cheek, “Don’t worry. Some people, if they want to come in, will follow.”
He had given her the opportunity. Whether Rong Sheng seized it was her own affair now.
Watching Chu Yifeng carrying Chu Xi entering the Xiao family with no reservations, Rong Sheng felt a wave of joy inside. Chu Yifeng no longer sought to confine her, forcefully possess her, or pressure her.
Her medicine was taking effect.
She picked up her medicine chest and stepped into the Xiao family.
Chu Yifeng did not wait intentionally for Rong Sheng, but the abnormalities of the Xiao family emerged come nightfall.
Throughout Baili Villa, which he passed, there was a scent of blood.
Very faint, as if it had been dealt with a long time ago, but many places, such as the garden, the corridors, still had lingering odors.
Chu Xi kept her gaze on Rong Sheng, who was walking a distance behind them. But when she saw a shadow flash behind Rong Sheng, Chu Xi immediately called out, “Mommy! Be careful!”
