Chapter 1603: Chapter 1603: Foul Stench
“Hey! Alright!”
Mo Xiaoqiang squatted excitedly in a corner, waiting for the guard to bring him so food.
Who knew, before he was even settled, soone yanked him up, and imdiately he heard a voice say, “Hurry, the Prince wants to ask you sothing.”
Before he could react, he was forcefully dragged forward.
“Hey, hey! I… I’m waiting for food!”
“Forget about eating, do you know what ti it is? The Prince is extrely anxious.”
Mo Xiaoqiang was being dragged along, feeling dizzy and unable to tell north from south, and he didn’t even see who was pulling him.
After a while, they entered a room, and finally stopped.
Long Yi released Mo Xiaoqiang, stepped forward and reported, “Prince, I’ve brought him.”
Long Rui sat on the Taishi Chair, though his face was masked, he obviously looked quite haggard: “Are you Mo Xiaoqiang? Xuexue’s foster father?”
Mo Xiaoqiang was still dizzy and confused, but upon hearing soone ask, he quickly answered, “Yes, I am.”
Long Yi stepped up, pressed him to the ground, and impatiently said, “Turn where? The Prince is over here!”
“Oh, oh! Blessings to the Prince!”
Having not eaten for three days, Mo Xiaoqiang’s mind was clearly sowhat unclear, plus being dragged along by Long Yi, he felt dizzy and had no idea where he was.
“Do you know where Xuexue went?”
“I know, I know.”
Actually, Mo Xiaoqiang had no idea, but right now Madam Xie had abandoned him, his life was nowhere, staying in the Capital with no silver, returning to the country was also impossible, he was desperate, so he naturally said whatever the Prince wanted to hear.
Long Rui’s eyes brightened under the mask upon hearing this, and he quickly asked, “Where is she?”
“They went back to Mo Family Village.”
“What? Back to the countryside?”
“Yes!”
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true, I wouldn’t dare lie to the Prince.”
Mo Xiaoqiang insisted, anyway, he was already in a dead end, so he thought he’d cross this difficult road first.
Upon hearing this, Long Rui sprang up: “No, I need to find her.”
“The Prince wants to go to Mo Family Village?” Mo Xiaoqiang raised his head in surprise.
Because Long Rui was wearing a mask, he didn’t know Long Rui was actually Big Bull who had lived for a few months in Mo Family Village.
Long Rui nodded, “Yes, I must find Xuexue.”
Ever since being driven out by Madam Xie, Mo Xiaoqiang wandered holess in the Capital, not to ntion having no place to stay, even finding food was a problem, begging on the streets every day, where even begging was tough. Whenever he found so food, it was snatched away by other beggars, and when he was unlucky, they would beat him up. Mo Xiaoqiang no longer wanted to endure such hard days.
If things continued like this, he felt he would die in a foreign land.
He looked eagerly at Long Rui, asking pitifully, “Prince, can you take a humble man like back with you?”
Long Rui glanced at him, knowing Xuexue disliked this foster father. Initially, he didn’t want to agree, but thinking over, if he left him in the Capital all day, and in the future when Xuexue returns, having her foster father begging on the streets wouldn’t be good for her reputation, it was better to take him away.
With this thought, Long Rui nodded: “Hmm, okay.”
Finally, he glanced at Mo Xiaoqiang’s tattered clothes, which occasionally emitted a foul odor, and his eyebrows furrowed as he turned to Long Yi, saying, “Find him so servant’s clothes to change into.”
