Long Heng felt more and more uncomfortable. He even sat up straight in annoyance.
This poor male lead had never liked a woman in his life, so he had no idea that he was jealous.
However, Song Jiaoyue was alert. No matter how unfamiliar he was with women, he was much better than Long Heng.
Therefore, he didn't ask any more questions and returned with a smile.
However, Long Heng was still annoyed. He said, "Mrs. Bai, don't keep this thing anymore. Since Prince Song likes it, just give it to him."
Bai Xiangxiu was stunned. This was her backbone. She couldn't give it away.
Song Jiaoyue didn't want to take it away from her. He waved his hand and said, "No need. How can I take what my wife loves …"
Long Heng felt a bit of regret as soon as he finished speaking. How could he not know how much Madame Bai cared for the cactus? She would usually guard it carefully when others approached it. If he forcefully gave it away, she would definitely throw a tantrum.
However, since he had already said it, he couldn't take it back. He said, "Then let her be responsible for finding you another one."
Bai Xiangxiu was relieved. Finally, she didn't have to give away her precious treasure.
But where was he going to get another cactus?
As she was thinking, Huo Er said, "I like him. Give him my branch."
Bai Xiangxiu was also afraid that Prince would really ask her to go out and find another one. Most importantly, she couldn't find one.
Huo Er's suggestion was just right. She said, "Actually, it's not like there's no other way. Xiao Shi, go find a flower pot and put some soil in it." Cactus were easy to grow, so there was no need to worry.
Xiao Shi followed Bai Xiangxiu's instructions. She'd learned all sorts of skills from helping Bai Xiangxiu plant flowers these past few days. She was already used to making water.
She put the soil in the pot and moved Huo Er into the inner room according to her instructions.
Bai Xiangxiu tried with the scissors and felt that she couldn't cut it.
If it was a normal cactus, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the Huo Er could talk and call for help!
"Does it hurt?" she asked softly.
Unfortunately, she didn't know that the two men outside were good at martial arts and had excellent hearing. They actually heard her words.
Long Heng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. She actually asked if a blade of grass hurt. This woman, Madam Bai, really made people speechless.
Song Jiaoyue burst out laughing, but in order to cover it up, he coughed lightly and turned his face to Long Heng to say some useless words.
Long Heng responded casually, but he was still worried about the little girl inside.
Could it be that she fainted because she was frightened?
But this good friend of his didn't want to leave, so he couldn't say anything in front of him.
Bai Xiangxiu's heart ached as she helped the Huo Er cut the bud that grew later. Although it cried out in pain, it looked very happy because this was the most important part of cactus reproduction.
Relieved, Bai Xiangxiu planted the bud and then watered it. When it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, she let Xiao Shi carry it out.
She suddenly felt like she was giving away a pet that she had raised, and this pet didn't even have the ability to speak.
As for Song Jiaoyue, he was very happy to receive this thorny plant. He thanked her repeatedly and was about to leave.
"Prince Song, this cactus is different from other plants. It can be watered every two to three days. Don't be too delicate." He didn't want it to die from the water.
Song Jiaoyue repeatedly agreed. He originally wanted to ask if there were any other suggestions, but he heard Long Heng say, "Shu 'er, why are you still standing outside? Why aren't you sending Prince Song out?"
"Yes." Shu 'er immediately responded and sent him out.
Long Heng said again, "Why are you still standing there? Go and call the doctor."
Bao Qin asked, "Prince, but your leg …"
"This King's leg is fine. Didn't you hear that your master fainted? What are you waiting for?" These girls were really too insensible.
Bao Qin felt wronged. He had been walking around well and even planted a pot of flowers for others. How could he have fainted?
"There's no need. I'm much better now."
Bai Xiangxiu walked out. She had only fainted because of the blood, but now she was really much better.
"Go back and lie down. There are others here to take care of you." He felt guilty. If he hadn't impulsively broken Liu Da's leg, she wouldn't have been frightened.
"Then thank you, Prince, for your understanding."
Bai Xiangxiu didn't stand on ceremony and went to rest. She wasn't very comfortable now.
Not long after she lay down, the doctor came and asked her what symptoms she had. After hearing that she only felt dizzy, he concluded that she had insufficient qi and blood. He prescribed medicine to make up for it.
In ancient times, the young ladies and madams were basically fed medicine when they were young. When she heard that she had to drink medicine, her whole body felt unwell.
However, Prince was sitting in the other room, so she couldn't refuse.
There was no other way. Drink it!
After drinking it for only two days, Prince's injury was almost healed. She also finally applied to stop drinking that bitter medicine.
But he didn't leave. It was really depressing.
On this day, the people of the Lin family finally took action. They actually sent tonics.
Looking at the things on the table, Bai Xiangxiu felt that it was a little late. After all, his injury was almost healed. Their gifts were just sent over.
"Humph … I'll give them all to you."
Long Heng didn't look at them. He just walked around in the room. Although he looked a little awkward when he walked, if one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't notice anything.
This man was quite strong. He was worthy of being a soldier.
But how was she going to eat this pile of tonics?
Long Heng walked around twice before he said to the servant who came to report, "Go and tell the people of the Lin family that This King thanks them for remembering how he got this injury."
"This …" It wasn't good. After all, it was the Yue family.
But looking at Prince's firm gaze, he didn't seem to be joking. He could only leave and do it.
When the servant of the Lin family received the news, his face was naturally gloomy. He went back and told Minister Lin and Madam Lin.
Minister Lin slammed the cup and said, "He has the nerve to say that he got injured. He didn't even look at how this person was sent back. The injury on his head hasn't healed yet.
After all, she is his fiancée. Can't he protect her a little? "
Madam Lin was so angry that she cried and said, "At that time, my poor daughter was abandoned in our backyard. She was battered and exhausted. Her whole body was covered with injuries. As her mother, I almost died of heartache.
But that girl defended him and didn't say anything. She only said that she wanted to thank him for bringing her back.
How could this person bring her back like that? He clearly abandoned her and left.
Such a cold-hearted person. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have given her to him. "
"Don't cry. This person has already promised. When I have time tomorrow, I will talk to him and let him know how to be a husband."
Minister Lin was so angry. If it weren't for his daughter's request to thank him, why would he send so many gifts to annoy him?
"Master, you must teach that brat a lesson. Don't let him belittle our daughter in the future." Madam Lin fanned the flames.
However, Minister Lin said, "Don't blindly indulge your daughter. She should be disciplined. This time, she is also in the wrong."
Perhaps his daughter's eyesight was not bad. She ran away from the marriage because she saw that Long Heng was not a good person to entrust her life to.
But the marriage was already set. Besides, they were indeed climbing up the social ladder.
