Ch 59: Pretty Little Madman
When Xue Zheng first entered the Capital City, he rested at Wangchun Pavilion for a while. Because the Princess Consort of the Prince of Ying liked living there, he gave her the garden.
There was only one condition—not to disturb the people in the west courtyard.
Actually, Xue Zheng didn’t know who lived there, only that it was a disheveled madman.
Chou Chou waved her little paws, constantly pointing at the small door, signaling Aunt Dongxiao to quickly carry her over.
She is getting stronger and stronger now. Dongxiao can hardly hold the squirming Chou Chou, and fearing that she would really fall, she had no choice but to take a few steps forward: “Chou Chou, be good, let’s not go over there, okay? You’ll be scared and cry.”
What’s so interesting about a madman? If he goes crazy and hurts someone, it would be terrible.
“Chou Chou, shall we go see the little grass?”
Chou Chou had a silly and confused expression: 【What’s so interesting about little grass? I want to see what the little madman looks like!】
She has never seen a madman in her life.
Besides calves, there is also the stubbornly persistent Chou Chou who isn’t afraid of tigers.
Su Jingwen stopped them from going any further, “Go back quickly, or he’ll punch you and make you cry!”
He waved his fist to scare Chou Chou. In Chou Chou’s heart, Third Brother is still reliable, and after being scared like this, she stiffened and stopped fussing.
Before everyone could turn back, the small door separating the two sides was slammed loudly.
“Dong, dong!”
“Dong!”
“Pa!”
Not only was there the sound of the wooden door being hit, but also the sound of flower pots breaking.
“Look, the madman is going to hit someone, Chou Chou, hurry up and run!”
【Run, run quickly!】
【Chou Chou is scared!】
Chou Chou nestled in Dongxiao’s arms and didn’t move. Su Xiucheng took the opportunity to give her a look, signaling her to quickly take Chou Chou away.
Judging from the commotion on the other side, he must be quite crazy.
Chou Chou was indeed frightened, her face was tense, and even her little milk fat wouldn’t tremble.
Xue Zheng comforted her: “Chou Chou, don’t be afraid, the door is very sturdy. I’ve lived here for several years and he hasn’t, hasn’t, hasn’t… Wo Cao!”
“Bang!”
“Run! The madman is out!”
As if refuting Xue Zheng’s words, the other party had already kicked open the wooden door and ran out from the other side before Xue Zheng could finish speaking.
Not quite the same as the madman in imagination.
The one living on the other side is a prettier little madman.
The little madman looked a little younger than Xue Zheng and the others, thin and small, with a pale face. It was unknown if the stuff on his face was blood or some dye, the left side of his face was red. His hair was also messy, looking like it hadn’t been taken care of for a long time.
Even in such a mess, it couldn’t hide the little madman’s good-looking face.
His features were delicate. Because his complexion was too pale, it brought a sense of fragility, like a fragile jade doll.
【What a pretty little madman!】
【He’s so good-looking, what does it matter if he’s a little crazy!】
The little madman rushed out from next door, but didn’t do anything to hurt anyone as imagined. But Xue Zheng was still afraid that he would hurt someone, so he called Su Jingwen and Su Xiucheng, “Leave quickly, he’ll hit people!”
The steward of Wangchun Pavilion said that the madman on the other side would hit people. He once beat a servant half to death. If he hadn’t been discovered, the servant would have died.
In the end, a large sum of money was paid to suppress the matter.
So the people of Wangchun Pavilion were unwilling to approach the West Garden. Even the people who delivered food only dared to deliver it to the door.
Xue Zheng and Su Jingwen stood in the front, while Su Xiucheng and Dongxiao protected Chou Chou and retreated continuously.
But…
【Sister Xinyu?】
Su Xiucheng suddenly realized that Wang Xinyu, who had been following them all along, had disappeared. He immediately looked around to find where she was.
【Sister Xinyu, run!】
◈◈◈
【Behind the pretty little madman brother!】
The twins, who could hear Chou Chou’s thoughts, looked at the place where the little madman was, fearing that he would go crazy and hurt Wang Xinyu, but the next scene shocked them even more.
The pretty little madman slowly fell down…
“Bang!”
Wang Xinyu stood behind the little madman, her hand still in the posture of shooting out a golden needle.
On the little madman’s back, a golden needle trembled in the wind, indicating the power of the golden needle’s owner.
【Sister Xinyu, mighty!】
Wang Xinyu didn’t show any emotional fluctuations after seeing the little madman fall down. She just silently stood back behind Chou Chou. When passing by Xue Zheng and the others, they all unconsciously took a step back.
Xue Zheng did know that a beautiful little “mute” who couldn’t speak had come to the Wen Yang Marquis Mansion, but no one told him that she was even more powerful than the little madman!
“Are you usually afraid of her?”
Su Jingwen swallowed and nudged Su Xiucheng: “He’s asking you!”
Su Xiucheng thought about his usual peacock-like annoying appearance, and with lingering fear, patted his chest: “The fact that she didn’t beat me to death for Chou Chou’s sake is really too kind to Chou Chou!”
Xue Zheng ran to the little madman, squatted down, and gently patted his face. He looked back at the others: “What do we do now?”
His aunt said that this person cannot be released. Should we throw him back in now?
“Hey, give me a hand, we’ll throw him back in. Then I’ll go get someone to go in and check on him.”
Hearing Xue Zheng say this, Chou Chou expressed sympathy for the little madman, 【Is it too cruel? Do we really have to throw him back in?】
Maybe people are more tolerant of beautiful things. The little madman’s appearance is too easy to arouse people’s protective instincts. The twins also hesitated.
He didn’t want to be crazy himself. It’s not good to treat him so cruelly. I don’t know what Wang Xinyu did to him, it would be troublesome if something happened.
【Can’t we just tie him up and lock him in the woodshed?】
【Lock him up, and Chou Chou will deliver food to him!】
Chou Chou struggled to give herself a thumbs up. She really is a kind child!
Twins: “……”
Isn’t that kind at all?
“Why don’t we send him to the guest room? We’ll lock the door and find a doctor. Maybe he can be saved.”
“Can madness be cured?”
【It’s such a pity that he’s so good-looking and crazy. Who is the little madman brother?】
This also reminded a few people, who exactly is this little madman? It would be bad if something happened to someone with a special identity in Wangchun Pavilion.
Xue Zheng immediately instructed the steward to send someone to Prince Ying’s Mansion to find his aunt to come over. And the little madman was also moved to the guest room.
The little madman was just immobilized by having his sleep acupoint hit. He will be able to wake up when the effect passes.
Chou Chou peeked around, while expressing her doubts: 【Don’t we need to tie him up?】
Su Xiucheng: “He’s already like this, shouldn’t we need to tie him up?”
As he spoke, Xue Zheng had already returned with a rope. He pulled the ends of the rope and tugged on it, beckoning to the two, “Come and give me a hand.”
Although tying someone up was justified, Xue Zheng’s actions still revealed a hint of ferocity.
So when Gu Qinghuai opened his eyes, he saw someone holding a rope and heading towards him, and immediately reached out and grabbed the other person’s neck.
Everyone only felt something flash before their eyes, and when they looked again, they found that Xue Zheng had become a hostage.
Gu Qinghuai: “Who are you?”
Chou Chou: 【Who are you? Although you are better looking than my Brother Xue Zheng, why are you strangling his neck?】
【I warn you to let him go!】
Gu Qinghuai looked around, and finally locked his gaze on the chubby little milk bun: “You are so noisy!”
Chou Chou: 【???】I can’t even speak, what am I being noisy about!
