Chapter 117

The same thing that Xing Shan found incomprehensible was Liu Qinghuan, who had just accepted Hu Buxi as his goddaughter. She stood in the room and watched the doctor apply medicine to Hu Buxi. She felt that every stroke hurt her. Heart.

This kind of pain is not because of the deep love between her and Hu Buxi's mother and daughter, but as a normal person, it is inevitable that she will feel the same when she sees this tragic situation.

While Xing Shan was quietly waiting for the results in the house, Xing Wentian sent someone to ask him to go to his study.

It turned out that after Xing Wentian received the news, he was afraid that Xing Shan would do something drastic, so he hurried over immediately.

When Xing Shan heard that Xing Wentian was looking for him, he thought it was his father who wanted to help him investigate the murderer who seriously injured Hu Buxi, but when he came to Xing Wentian, his first sentence was to tell Xing Shan not to investigate further, " I already know about Miss Hu, and I will ask the imperial doctor to come over to help her heal later, as for this case, you should not interfere in the future."

Hearing this, Xing Shan's expression instantly distorted, "Why? She was hurt like this, do you think daddy just let it go?"

Xing Wentian sighed, and said helplessly: "This matter is related to the Forbidden Palace, you can't interfere casually, even if Miss Hu wakes up, she will persuade you not to investigate any more."

When these words came out, Xing Shan laughed angrily, "So, you have other things to hide from me? Even Axi knows about this, but you don't intend to tell me?"

Xing Wentian fell silent, obviously acquiescing to Xing Shan's statement.

Seeing this situation, Xing Shan became even more amused, "A word from the Forbidden Palace, can you do whatever you want? Didn't our Shuntian Mansion behead the emperor's relatives and judge corrupt officials? Since when did we become timid and short-sighted?" Can the short word 'Forbidden Palace' break our backs?"

"presumptuous!"

Xing Wentian became angry, "Shuntian Mansion has never been as incompetent as you imagined, it's just that everything has to be weighed. This matter is a personal grievance between Miss Hu and that person, and Shuntian Mansion has no right to intervene."

Having said that, Xing Wentian paused for a moment, and said with a sneer: "If you insist on investigating, then you can ask Miss Hu to submit a copy of the murderer herself. As long as she is willing to sue, even the emperor, I will definitely accept it." ,can you?"

Hearing this, Xing Shan laughed, his eyes filled with indifference, "At the end of the day, Dad is sure that Ah Xi will compromise, so he can say this with confidence. Then I dare to ask you, if this It was not Axi who was injured this time, but Auntie, can you still calmly calculate which is more serious?"

Xing Wentian looked at Xing Shan without any hesitation in his eyes, "I can."

Xing Shan didn't expect this answer, and was a little surprised for a while.

Xing Wentian met his eyes, and he didn't feel guilty at all, because he could really do this in front of Shuntian Mansion.

It's not because of how ruthless he is, but because he is affectionate, so he dare not go beyond the rules.

It is indeed a joy to stand up for the family, but after the joy, it is the decline of the entire Xing family, and it is a disaster brought about by a moment of enthusiasm.

In the face of such consequences, he really would rather be cowardly.

Xing Shan stared straight into Xing Wentian's eyes, seeing that his answer was very sincere without any hypocrisy.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

He knows that he has never been a smart person, so every decision he makes is not perfect, and sometimes it even hurts other people.

But if the price of being smart is losing the opportunity to choose like Xing Wentian, then he would rather be stupid.

Seeing Xing Shan's eyes gradually becoming sad, Xing Wentian sighed, and said frankly: "Ashan, this world is not only black and white, especially in the center of power, your words and deeds are not only related to yourself, but also to others. You have everyone around you. Today you provoked the person in the Forbidden Palace for Miss Hu, and tomorrow the entire Xing family will be implicated because of you. Do you think this is what you want? Shuntian Mansion can have today’s balance, It's not because of how much credit your father and I have made, but how much I have compromised. If the compromise of a few people can bring the safety of the majority of people, don't you think it's not worth it?"

"I have no idea……"

Xing Shan sank down, so he quickly raised his head again, "I just know that if one day I become that minority, I don't want to be forced to compromise. Father, you have always How can you ask them to understand your actions if you haven’t cared about the feelings of those few people?”

Hearing this, Xing Wentian was stunned, unable to speak for a while.

Xing Shan lowered his eyes, and didn't argue with Xing Wentian any more, but bowed to him and quickly left his study.

When Xing Shan returned to the door of Hu Buxi's room, the people inside still hadn't come out. The wound on Hu Buxi's body was too big, and it might not be able to be cleaned up in a short while.

Watching the servants inside bringing out basin after basin of blood, Xing Shan thought a lot.

But until the end, he felt as if he hadn't thought about anything.

Shuntian Mansion, Forbidden Palace, and Imperial Power, everything is beyond his comprehension, obviously he has been in it all the time, but he always looks like an outsider, as if he is staring at everything in this world from his stupid perspective. Reality and powerlessness.

I don't know how long he stood outside until night fell, when Liu Qinghuan came out sweating profusely, "Ah Xi, this child, is so pitiful. Fortunately, the doctor is good at treating her wounds. , as long as you take good care of it from now on, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Hearing Liu Qinghuan's comfort, Xing Shan suppressed his worries and asked her, "Did the doctor say whether Axi's injuries will leave scars?"

Hearing this, Liu Qinghuan hesitated for a while, and said frankly: "It is indeed difficult not to leave scars, but everything depends on Axi's physique. Later, I will ask your father to go to the imperial physician to get some precious medicinal materials. What about the cure?"

Hearing her cautious answer, Xing Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He put his arm around Liu Qinghuan's shoulders and followed her words: "Yes, maybe it can be cured? Axi is a martial arts practitioner and has scars on her body. Just treat it as a medal, it’s nothing serious.”

Seeing him acting as if nothing had happened, Liu Qinghuan was a little worried, "Ashan, are you okay?"

Xing Shan shook his head, his eyes gradually turned from cloudy to firm, "It's okay."

Since he is unable to change, he can only learn to accept it. He believes that the world will not always be like this.

One day, he will be able to change everything bit by bit with his own efforts.
