Chapter 1299 You Ning is like a mud monkey
"I hope so!" Shang Xi didn't have that much confidence in Wan Lianxing.
"Relax, our son will not suffer any harm wherever he goes. He wants to go hunting, and his grandfather has let him go. His uncle will not treat him badly." Cheng Feng patted his pile of medical books and said to Shang Xi, "Wife, don't be uneasy all day long. Don't let the child be fine and your body collapse again. If you can't calm down, you can learn from me and read medical books. Don't worry about our son. If he was wronged, he would have come home long ago."
Shang Xi thought about what Cheng Feng said and felt that it made sense. She knew very well what her own child was like.
However, three days later, Cheng Youning came back wearing clothes so dirty that they could not be recognized. His hair was messy and he had a bow on his back.
Cheng Youning's appearance frightened Cheng Feng and his wife. Cheng Youning had never been so miserable before. "Son, what's wrong with you? Where did you come from?"
Cheng Youning broke down and cried as soon as she saw her parents, as if she had been wronged. "Daddy, take me to settle accounts with my little grandfather!"
Cheng Feng heard this and realized that the child's condition must be related to his uncle. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the child's mental state and physical and mental state. He hurriedly asked, "Son, what did your grandfather do to you?"
"My little grandfather has bad intentions towards me!"
Hearing this, Cheng Feng's face darkened and his heart was blocked. When his son left home for the Prince's Mansion, he was upright and clean, smiling and happy. It has only been a dozen days, how could his son be so dirty and cry so aggrieved! "Tell Daddy, what happened? How did you make it like this?"
"Didn't I want to go hunting that day? My little grandfather readily agreed and sent a shadow to protect me along the way. He also gave me a mission: I was not allowed to come back if I didn't catch any prey."
Hearing this, Cheng Feng understood: "Son, you mean that you didn't catch any prey and you stayed in the mountains for three days!"
Cheng Youning pursed his lips and nodded vigorously: "In three days, the child didn't even see a pheasant!"
No wonder Cheng Youning looked so miserable, it turned out that he had been training his prey in the mountains for three days.
"Son, what you said is irrational. The people in Fengying are engaged in business, farming, odd jobs, and all kinds of things. Everyone's life is better now, and not many people rely on hunting for a living. According to common sense, there should be a lot of prey in the mountains. You are so quick, you shouldn't have no harvest. Did someone do something?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Youning said angrily, "Someone must have done something. I have been on the mountain for three days and have clearly seen footprints and feces of prey, but I just can't find the prey. I thought hard for three days but couldn't figure it out. Later, I observed carefully and found that no matter where I went, there were traces of human presence. I thought there were hunters or people who went hunting like us. Later, I became more careful and ran five miles to check. I found that Suiying actually sent another team to drive the prey in front and scared the prey away. If this goes on, I will die of exhaustion and still not be able to catch the prey. So I ran back in a rage. I don't want to be the prince anymore. Please send someone to call my grandparents and we will go to the palace to settle accounts with my little grandfather."
Shang Xi looked at Cheng Youning, who looked like a dead person. His clothes were still half-dry. It rained heavily last night. The child didn't say anything, but Shang Xi knew that he got wet. His hair was damp, with grass leaves hanging on it. Shang Xi felt mixed emotions. The heavy rain at this time of year was the coldest. Adults would shiver in the rain at night, let alone a little kid. Looking at the angry Cheng Youning, Shang Xi wanted to comfort him: "Youning, listen to your mother. Don't think about settling the score yet. Come with your mother to take a hot bath, then eat something and have a good sleep. I can see that you haven't rested well in the past few days!"
The more Cheng Youning thought about it, the angrier he got. He cried even more and threw the clothes his mother had brought him on the ground. "I want to settle accounts with my grandfather. He has no good intentions towards me!"
Shang Xi looked at the door, fortunately there were no outsiders. Seeing the miserable Cheng Youning, Shang Xi didn't want to say anything harsh, but in this era, saying the wrong thing could lead to a fatal disaster. He couldn't be fearless just because he was a royal relative. Moreover, before offending someone, you have to see who you are offending. If you offend the emperor, it would be like seeking your own death. So Shang Xi had to teach him face to face: "Son, don't talk about your little grandfather like that, it will bring you a fatal disaster!"
"I don't care. I'm going to be killed by my grandfather. Why should I be afraid of death? I just want to ask you one question. Do you want to help me?"
Cheng Feng had lived a carefree life under the protection and oppression of Wan Lianxing for so many years, but he was not a coward. Now that his son had been wronged and came to him for help, he could not sit idly by. Even though the person he was looking for was the emperor, he could not back down. It was already enough that Cheng Feng was upset that the child was adopted away. If the child lived in such a miserable state over there, he would really ask his uncle why and how he raised his son like that. If the child was really treated unfairly, he would take the risk of losing his head to take the child back.
"Since you are in this state, Daddy has to go to the palace. As for your grandparents, let's not disturb them. They are old and it would be difficult for them to go. Daddy will go with you!"
"I'll go too!" Shang Xi knew that it would be useless to go. How could they gain anything by trying to get the skin of a tiger? They couldn't get an explanation or get their child back, but seeing Cheng Youning so aggrieved, as the child's mother, she decided to go and see Wan Lian when the time came.
So at Cheng Youning's urging, Cheng Feng and Shang Xi took Cheng Youning to the palace.
During the time when Cheng Youning went home to complain, Suiying had already brought people back to the Yangxin Palace to report the news to the emperor. When Wan Lianxing heard that Cheng Youning had run away from the mountain angrily with Qiao Rong, he knew that the child must have gone home to ask for help, so the three of them had a smooth journey in the palace and no one stood up to stop them.
The family of three was familiar with the route and went straight to his uncle's Palace of Tranquil Longevity without asking any questions.
Wan Lianxing showed no surprise when he saw the family of three, nor did he feel uncomfortable when he saw Cheng Youning, who was as dirty as a mud monkey.
