Chapter 156: Feeding
Having been married for so many years, Murong Rou had always put her husband on her heart. She never expected that when something happened to her, her husband’s mistress and their 7 or 8 years old bastard had appeared right in her face, which was a great blow to her. Now that woman even tried to grab her position as the first wife of Wu’an Marquis Mansion. Misfortunes never come singly!
Ouyang Shaochen glanced at Murong Rou and said flatly, “Do you think she’ll just wait to be divorced?”
“I don’t think so!” Murong Xue shook her head, thinking: Murong Rou isn’t such a weak woman. She wouldn’t give up like this. But now Murong Rou is collapsing on the ground like losing her soul. No one could tell what she is thinking…
Suddenly a kind of sticky feeling was felt from her finger pulp. Murong Xue was a little confused and lowered her head, only seeing that the two deep wounds the snake left on Ouyang Shaochen’s back of his fairy hand was bleeding…
He was in a hurry to run for the drama but forgot to dress her wound after getting him detoxified…
There’s kind of tear-like thing flashing in Murong Xue’s eyes. She then pulled out a silk hanky and quickly but softly wiped off the blood.
Looking at her guilty eyes, Ouyang Shaochen put on a gentle smile and said softly, “Just a small wound. Nothing serious. Just wipe it off slowly. No hurry.”
Murong Xue responded and wiped clean of his hand, then she took out a small bottle of vulnerary and smeared carefully on the wound. With her gentle rubbing, the vulnerary gradually permeated into the skin, cool, and the sharp pains were gradually gone.
Murong Xue stood under the sun, fair-skinned, with beautiful little face, big and watery eyes, cherry lips! What a wonderful creature!
Ouyang Shaochen subconsciously lowered his face and slowly put his thin lips against her pinky lips…
“Murong Xue!” A rough voice was suddenly heard. Ouyang Shaochen was startled and moved a bit away from Murong Xue, looking a bit upset. She really came at the wrong time.
Murong Xue and Ouyang Shaochen stood shoulder by shoulder. So no one saw what they did. They followed the voice and saw Yuan Fangfei was slowly walking towards them under the support of two nannies. Her face was kind of pale and she kind of staggered, with her arm bandaged, through which one could tell she was badly injured.
“What’s up?” Murong Xue looked at her blandly: As weak as Murong Rou and Song Qingyan were, they would still save their assess in the big fire, let alone the strong Yuan Fangfei.
“Well…thank you for saving my life. I will keep this in my heart for my whole life. If you need me some day, just come to me.” said Yuan Fangfei heroically.
Murong Xue curled up her lips, “OK!” Whether she would really need Yuan Fangfei’s favor someday, she already accepted her gratitude.
“Then I’m gonna go. Remember to come to me…” After repeating that, Yuan Fangfei slowly walked to a horse not far away.
“Hm!” Murong Xue nodded and watched Yuan Fangfei jump onto the horse and leave. She then put away the vulnerary and took out a new white hanky and banded up Ouyang Shaochen’s wound on the back of his hand.
“Murong Rou is about to leave!” a silvery voice was heard, and then Murong Rou raised her head and saw Murong Rou struggle to get up and stumbled towards her luxurious carriage, looking quite confounded.
With those noble ladies and their daughters walk over, they would overthink things if Murong Rou kept collapsing on the ground. So leaving was the wisest choice.
It was already 17, so Murong Xue said, “We should go.”
“Hm!” Ouyang Shaochen nodded, held Murong Xue’s hand and got on to the carriage of Lord Freedom Mansion.
Inside the luxurious carriage was laid the velvet blanket, warm and soft, very comfortable. In the middle was a sandalwood table, on which was a snack box. The fragrant smell was overflowing, making one drool.
Murong Xue also felt very hungry on smelling it. And she remembered she didn’t have lunch at all.
After opening the food box, she saw there were two bowls of congee, two bowls of rice and a few hot delicacies.
Murong Xue’s eyes were shining. She took out the food at the fastest speed and put them on the table and raised her voice, “Shaochen, it’s late. Let’s eat.”
“OK!” Ouyang Shaochen nodded. He then picked some dishes from the plate with his chopsticks but immediately it fell.
“Shaochen, are you OK?” asked Murong Xue while looking at him, confused.
“My hand, you know. I have no strength to use chopsticks…” said Ouyang Shaochen flatly. He then put down his bow and chopsticks, wearing that innocent face, like he had no ability to eat food.
“Prince Ouyang, but your left hand is all good, besides, there’s a spoon here!” Murong Xue tipped him smilingly. Even if he couldn’t use chopsticks with his left hand, at least he could use a spoon.
“But the snake poison is too strong. I can’t feel my left hand…” said Ouyang Shaochen flatly, looking a little frustrated.
“So you even had no strength to use a spoon?” Murong Xue frowned while looking at him confused.
“No!” Ouyang Shaochen shook his head, “My hands were both like paralyzed. It’s like they are not mine…”
The snake poison inside his body was mostly cleared. So at least it should be his right hand feeling paralyzed. How could his left hand also feel nothing…Is it possible…
Murong Xue suddenly understood what was going on. So she gazed at Ouyang Shaochen, “Since you can not use neither of your hand, how are you gonna eat?”
“Just temporarily. I can use them when I can feel them.” said Ouyang Shaochen blandly.
“Since the snake poison is so strong, when your hands regain the strength…”asked Murong Xue, with a faking smile.
Ouyang Shaochen just ignored her question, “It won’t take long. I can hold it without having one or two meals anyway.”
Murong Xue shook her head, “Bread is the staff of life. And you are the noble prince, how can you starve? If you don’t mind, what about I feed you?”
Ouyang Shaochen immediately wore an unnoticeable smile, and then turned to Murong Xue, “Urgh…isn’t it bothering you?”
