Chapter 169

Cheng Ling stretched his body. Her shoulders were already stiff, and she checked the time on the computer, only to realize that it was past six o'clock. Thinking of Xi Shiche coming back soon. Inexplicably feeling nervous and excited.

Yu Jiao glanced at the small wooden box next to the computer, Cheng Ling put it here specially, tonight. She's about to ask.

walk out of the room. When he looked up, he saw the surveillance cameras that had just been installed. Now that he saw these surveillance cameras, Cheng Ling was not so resistant.

She walked quickly down the stairs. His eyes scanned sharply. Can't see the man's car.

In the kitchen, the old housekeeper was cooking. Cheng Ling walked over intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to ask something, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

"Ma'am, are you also interested in British cuisine?"

"British food? Are you cooking British food tonight?"

British cuisine is particularly cumbersome and complicated, just. Cheng Ling has been here for so long. This is the first time the old butler has cooked British food.

The old butler just finished the last dish, he washed his hands, "Yes. It's specially made for my wife."

"What about Xi Shiche?"

Cheng Ling seemed to mention it unintentionally, with a casual tone, but his eyes were secretly aimed at the old housekeeper.

The old butler hesitated for a moment, wiped his hands on his apron, and said with a embarrassed face, "Master Xi will not be coming back tonight."

"not coming back?"

Cheng Ling's voice suddenly rose a little bit. Seeing that the old housekeeper was taken aback, Cheng Ling lowered his tone, "You mean he won't come back for dinner?"

The embarrassment on the old housekeeper's face became more and more serious, Cheng Ling knew the general idea, she muttered in a low voice, "Don't come back to sleep yet!"

Then wouldn't she be able to ask him about those things tonight?

These things need to be discussed face to face, not on the phone, otherwise Cheng Ling really can't help but call directly.

Seeing Cheng Ling's depression, the old butler remembered the sudden breakdown in her relationship with Xi Shiche. The old butler wanted to see if there was anything he could do to help, so he asked a few more words, "Ma'am, can I ask?" What happened to you and Master Xi on the cruise ship? Why is Master Xi so angry?"

In his eyes, Young Master Xi is very fond of his wife, and he will handle it properly for her basically what his wife did not expect. During this time, his wife has been protected by Young Master Xi, and he never thought that Young Master Xi would be cruel Take away your wife's liberty.

When a person loses his freedom, he will only gradually become haggard, depressed, and finally fall.

How could Young Master Xi be willing?

Unless something really happened to stimulate Xi Shao, he had to do so.

Seeing the worried look of the old housekeeper, Cheng Ling didn't want to refuse. Moreover, she did something wrong, so it was right for the old housekeeper to accuse her.

"I gave Xi Shiche sleeping pills, and did some things to offend him."

Usually, people who hear this sentence only care about the latter sentence, and wonder what Cheng Ling did to apologize to Xi Shiche.

But the old housekeeper was not. He opened his eyes wide, with a horrified expression on his face, as if he had seen some extremely terrifying bloody scene, his dry lips parted, and his voice became more and more sharp, "What, ma'am, you drugged Mr. Xi?" gone?"

"No wonder, no wonder Master Xi is so angry, madam, you are so confused."

"Do you know, Mr. Xi can't bear these things, Mr. Xi is too miserable, madam, you let me down very much."

The old butler kept mumbling, this was the first time Cheng Ling saw the old butler being so harsh, and he was still treating her.

Cheng Ling caught some important points. She held the old housekeeper's arm and asked, "Is Xi Shiche allergic to sleeping pills? Then will he be okay? Do you want to ask Lu Yuanfeng to come over and take a look?"

The old housekeeper's expression was too solemn, Cheng Ling was frightened, and her impatience was chaotic, she didn't even think about it, Xi Shiche came back all night, nothing happened, why did she seem to be allergic to sleeping pills?

The old butler's arm held by Cheng Ling was aching. Seeing Cheng Ling's nervous appearance, he thought, could there be some misunderstanding between the two?

The wife didn't know what happened to Mr. Xi before, so she gave him sleeping pills.

The old butler was struggling, should he explain it to Cheng Ling.

Cheng Ling saw the old housekeeper's entanglement, and she knew that there must be some secrets and stories in it.

"I know it's my fault this time. I won't explain anything. I just want to know what happened to Xi Shiche's past? Why do you keep saying that his life was very difficult and bitter?"

"He's my husband and I just want to get to know him better."

Xi Shiche is like the eye of heaven, seeing everything about her clearly, very clearly, even in her forgotten memory, there is his figure.

But she didn't know him at all. To her, Xi Shiche was an incomprehensible mystery.

She didn't like this feeling of uncertainty, and she wanted to know more about him.

The old butler stared at Cheng Ling for a long time, so long that Cheng Ling thought he would not answer her again. At this moment, the old butler finally spoke, telling the story in a voice with a sense of desolation, "Madam, have you ever heard of drowning?" kill the word?"

"Drowning? It's regarded as pampering, but it's actually killing people's self?"

Just like many parents nowadays, all kinds of pampering and spoiling their children without going online have caused their children to grow crookedly, which is drowning.

"Yes, Young Master Xi came here on such a day."

The old butler seemed to be stuck in a deep memory, his slightly dirty eyes enlarged slightly, his dry lips moved, and he continued, "Young Master Xi's family is an extraordinary family in England. Master Xi is three years old. He died when he was young, and all the family property was inherited by Mr. Xi, but when he was young, the eldest wife took care of him, and the eldest wife doted on Mr. Xi very much. No matter what bad things he did, she would protect and spoil him. , as time goes by, when everyone thinks that Xi Shao has a bad temper and lawlessness at a young age, he is not a good seedling that can be hoped for at all."

"But no one knows, Mr. Xi, he was drugged when he was very young. He is cruel, irritable, bloodthirsty, and unable to control his temper. These are all side effects of those drugs."

"Young Master Xi, he knew that the eldest wife gave him medicine, so he just watched, ate, and said nothing until he was fourteen years old, and was brought back to China by the master's old subordinates."

"Just like Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, no, at least, Empress Dowager Cixi has not drugged Emperor Guangxu, no matter whether he will become a fool or not."

The corners of the old butler's eyes were wet. Every time he thought of these things, he felt sorry for Mr. Xi.

"How is it possible, this is the stepmother?"

Cheng Ling never thought that Xi Shiche had such a past, she thought it would be nothing to give him some sleeping pills, but she didn't expect to poke his sore spot.

It was kind enough for Xi Shiche not to kill her.

The old butler couldn't stop laughing and crying. Anyone else would think that this is the stepmother.

However, this is not the case.

"It's my own mother, that's scary, so, madam, you have to be careful. When you see the eldest wife in the future, you must be careful."

Cheng Ling gritted his teeth in resentment, his eyes were burning with fire, "There is such a real mother, the conscience is eaten by dogs."
