Chapter 372: Empathizing
He Zhen Wei walked forwards, sitting by He s.h.i.+ Hai’s bed, and very much mean-spiritedly patted He s.h.i.+ Hai’s chest. He s.h.i.+ Hai shook and miserably cried out.
Suddenly making a sound like that, everyone in the room all got startled, and afterwards, their gaze towards He s.h.i.+ Hai all had a bit of disbelief, even mixed with a bit of worry.
He s.h.i.+ Hai’s face was deathly pale. Think he’s willing? s.h.i.+t, really hurt too much, completely couldn’t control it.
“Should be that the medicine’s effect still hasn’t completely worn off. Once the medicine’s effect goes away, it won’t be like this anymore.” The army doctor said with a smile.
Once they learned what was going on, the He family’s gaze towards He s.h.i.+ Hai was completely just like looking at a rare object, “If he really shouted like this for an entire afternoon plus an entire night, to still be able to have this much energy right now, should be considered not bad. Moreover, he didn’t even lose his voice.”
He s.h.i.+ Hai looked to his family that was taking pleasure in his misfortune, too lazy to even roll his eyes, and further wasn’t in the mood to explain. This while, it was indeed still very painful, just for the most part, within a bearable range. In any case, since childhood, each and every one of them have all been waiting for him to suffer a loss, wanting to see him embarra.s.s himself, all wanting to let him get taught a lesson, so as to be more well-behaved.
He Zhen Wei also stroked his own stubble of beard on his chin, “When there’s an opportunity, need to ask Jin Qinw.a.n.g what medicine he used. With the effect this good, even if it’s hardening this old face, still need to go ask him for some.”
This ‘good effect’ clearly had double meaning, not just the medicine effect itself being good, but also the effect in dealing with He s.h.i.+ Hai.
“En, indeed. Never seen little Hai this obedient before.” He s.h.i.+ Hai’s grandmother, He Old Madam, also nodded her head in approval.
He s.h.i.+ Hai was never one that knew how to hide his own emotions. That’s why, everything was all written on his face. This while, that complexion was just like a blending palette, exceptionally colorful.
After slightly relaxing, it was time for the ‘important matters’.
“Prior to entering the capital, what did I tell you, did you have my words all treated as the wind by your ear?” He Zhen Wei’s face was exceptionally stern.
He s.h.i.+ Hai didn’t utter a sound.
“The capital city is not like the border town. I know you’re reckless, but still have an understanding inside and won’t make too much of a ruckus. However, in the capital, any trivial matter can just ask for one’s life, implicating the whole family and even the entire clan. Why can’t you just settle down a little? Do you insist on having the entire family all thrown in for you to be happy?”
“Father, I was wrong. In the future, won’t cause trouble anymore.” He s.h.i.+ Hai hung his eyes and softly said.
“It’d be great if you can accomplish what you said.” He Zhen Wei also didn’t say to have him locked in confinement, because he knew, if this brat really wants to go out, he will always find a way to escape, simply unable to be contained. It was better to just let him walk out the front gate, letting people follow after, more or less able to have some effect.
He s.h.i.+ Hai’s eyes penetrated with excitement. He indeed won’t go out to cause trouble again, because his next goal was very clear———–look for Jin Qinw.a.n.g to exchange blows.
He Zhen Wei’s eyelids directly twitched. The more he looked, the more he felt that it was impossible for this brat to be this obedient. In this matter, there’s most likely something he didn’t know about, so he prepared to go ask the people that went out with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d. This while, those guards went to go change, and the injuries on them also needed to be looked over again.
Originally, the guards had that section about exchanging blows with Li Hong Yuan downplayed, but this while, facing a cold and stern faced General He, each and every one all were like quails, spilling out everything.
He Zhen Wei just felt his temples pulsing. What kind of personality that son of his had, he was very clear. Back in the border town, even when exchanging blows with him, he never once held back, and now, his guts were this big, eyeing a qinw.a.n.g, and even the kind that can’t be provoked. Originally, having injured Jin w.a.n.gfei, for the other party to have just sorted him out, not losing any arms and legs, one should already greatly rejoice. But, this matter also wasn’t over with. He was still thinking how to clean up the aftermath………….
As expected, he should have directly had that unfilial son’s legs snapped in half, letting him be unable to climb down from the bed, thoroughly sparing oneself from worry and trouble.
He Zhen Wei practically can imagine, wherever Jin Qinw.a.n.g goes, that son of his will go block. That scene was practically unbearable to the eyes. After all, in the past, back in the northeast border town, he didn’t do any less of this kind of thing, all the way until he had those people knocked down did he finally calm down. Fortunately, those soldiers were all still considered open-minded and didn’t bicker with that brat. After all, in public under numerous eyes, getting thrown by a young boy was a very embarra.s.sing matter. Even those that were displeased inside, seeing on his behalf, also won’t do anything to that b.a.s.t.a.r.d.
However, Jin Qinw.a.n.g wasn’t the same. If he really were to go block, with the numerous bodyguards by Jin Qinw.a.n.g’s side, just one word from him can let that b.a.s.t.a.r.d greatly suffer. After all, two fists can’t block four hands. And if Jin Qinw.a.n.g really gets angered, letting someone thoroughly cripple him, then even he, this father, can only pinch one’s nose and swallow the bitter water, having no place to reason things out, nor having the face to.
He Zhen Wei wiped his face, several times all having the impulse to go beat up that unfilial son. Whenever that b.a.s.t.a.r.d exchange blows, he would never hold back, and normally, when really breaking his legs, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d also didn’t dare to hit back———–In the end, however, he couldn’t bear. Ending up with such an unfilial son, General He felt that he can shorten his own life by ten to twenty years.
Forget it, apologizing to Jin Qinw.a.n.g first was more important. Just, he was a general, and in the entire capital, he didn’t even have any close in-law families. At most, it was just some random distant relatives. In past years, he would just return with his personal soldiers, neither entertaining guests nor paying visits. This time, because he returned with his family, and in the future, might even stay in the capital, having a banquet was necessary. Prior to that, it undoubtedly won’t be good to pay anyone a visit, even if it’s apologizing and making amends. This was considering for both parties.
After contemplating, General He decided to start from Le Cheng Emperor’s side and have the cause and effect explained clearly, letting Le Cheng Emperor help build a bridge, also making clear one’s own loyal heart.
Prior to entering the palace, General He still went to see He s.h.i.+ Hai. What all the father and son pair said behind closed doors, and whether or not there was any results, was temporarily unknown.
He Zhen Wei was very skilled in battles, but his EQ was also resounding. After having the matter briefly explained, he just began pouring out his hards.h.i.+ps, like how disgraceful that b.a.s.t.a.r.d was, how much trouble he would cause, how he let others headache, and so on, “………….But this b.a.s.t.a.r.d in the end is still this subject’s son, so can’t really disregard him.”
Le Cheng Emperor wasn’t just greatly moved, it was simply just completely empathizing with the other party. Thus, he also began pouring out his hards.h.i.+ps. He also had an unfilial son, “Beloved Official He, you live far out in the border town year round, so don’t know, but……………”
The living Enma’s power level was much more formidable than little tyrant He.
Once General He heard, he endlessly sighed. For his son to still be perfectly alive really can be considered a miracle. Comparing like this, he actually felt his own son was really quite obedient. Just imagine, if his son really was the same as Jin Qinw.a.n.g, he most likely would’ve already gotten angered to death. After all, no matter what, he still wasn’t able to reach Le Cheng Emperor’s level, able to suppress everything and anything.
“This emperor’s unfilial son, in these last two years, has actually settled down quite a bit. Although from time to time still angering this emperor and contradicting this emperor, but those random troublesome matters have lessened. This matter, beloved official doesn’t need to take to heart.”
“It’s still this one’s son that collided into the horse carriage after all, letting Jin w.a.n.gfei get injured, so it’s only reasonable to apologize to her Highness.”
Le Cheng Emperor’s finger tapped against the table, “Old six’s personality, this emperor can’t be more familiar with. If something makes him unhappy, today’s matter won’t be left until tomorrow. As long as he lets go, this matter for the most part will be over with, and he won’t remember anymore. Since he released your family’s son, then it means that old six’s wife is fine. If beloved official really feels very apologetic, then just let your esteemed mother take a trip to Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor.”
Receiving Le Cheng Emperor’s word, General He relaxed inside.
After He Zhen Wei returned home and pa.s.sed on the word, He Old Madam and the others also relaxed a breath.
They, as military officials, although a bit poor, and things such as valuable treasures, unable to bring out much of, but it didn’t mean that the northeast didn’t have any good things. Precious fur and precious medicinal ingredients, that place had more of than other places, and no matter what, they were also the local rulers of the border town. Even if it’s not extorting the wealth of the people, these things, they also acc.u.mulated quite a bit of.
After pa.s.sing on a visiting card, they also received the other party’s reply.
The next day, when He Old Madam prepared to go out, He s.h.i.+ Hai bounced out again and very firmly expressed that he also wanted to go to Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor.
He Zhen Wei’s veins on his forehead popped out.
All say, ‘no one knows the son like the father’, and in contrast, it was also ‘the son knew the father best’. How can He s.h.i.+ Hai not know what his father meant. “Father, it was I that startled Jin w.a.n.gfei’s carriage, so it should be me going to apologize. Besides, my injuries haven’t fully recovered yet, so how would I be able to exchange moves with Jin Qinw.a.n.g? While clearly knowing the outcome, going up and getting beaten, adding to the injury, isn’t that just delaying the time of a proper fight? I’m not that stupid.”
He Zhen Wei got provoked again by that line of ‘a proper fight’, his hands itching, wanting to beat up the person.
“Fine, just go then. If not allowing you to go, perhaps later, you’ll just secretly go climb Jin Qinw.a.n.g Manor’s wall.” He Old Madam helplessly said.
“Many thanks grandmother.” He s.h.i.+ Hai happily smiled.
