Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Therefore, he asked a little loudly at this moment. He hoped that his father could hear him. He had to be careful not to let his father bump into anyone. It would not be good if he was beaten up like a thief.
Jiang Yue also felt that the Emperor was very likely to be beaten up because of how sneaky he was acting.
Liu Guixia didn’t know what Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were thinking at the moment. When she heard Xue Yan’s question, she said happily, “Where is your father? He went to the bathroom for so long and still hasn’t come back. I wanted to go and see if he fell into the pit. He shouldn’t have fallen, so there’s nothing to worry about. I’m just old and need to make sure he is alright. You guys quickly wash up and go to sleep. Everyone’s asleep, you guys still have to wake up early to practice martial arts tomorrow.”
“Yes.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could only obediently plan to go wash up first.
Hot water was definitely needed for washing, so the two of them went into the kitchen.
Xue Yan took out a fire spark, blew on it, and lit the oil lamp in the kitchen.
The water in the hanging jar on the pot was still hot. Xue Yan took a bucket and scooped the hot water into the bucket first. He wanted to bring it to Jiang Yue’s room and let her wash up first.
There was nothing for her to do. Jiang Yue just stood at the side and watched.
In the backyard, Xue Dafu came out of the outhouse with a relaxed body. He rubbed his hands and was about to go back to sleep when he noticed a figure sneaking into the backyard and heading straight to the huts behind. It was obvious that he was up to no good. There was a pile of firewood beside the outhouse. Some of the firewood was quite thick so Xue Dafu quickly grabbed one.
Then, he sneaked up on the sneaky person from behind.
Emperor Hao wanted to give his Empress a surprise, so he didn’t listen to the conversation between Xue Yan and Liu Guixia. He quietly walked to the back of the room. According to what he knew, his wife lived in the middle room. He planned to knock on the door of the middle room to give her a surprise, but before he could knock, he was beaten from behind.
The person who hit him also cursed angrily at the same time. “You thief! We have so many people in our family. How dare you steal from us! Yihu, Erhu, get up quickly, we’re being robbed! Our house is being robbed!”
Emperor Hao thought that he had been assassinated and was about to fight back when he heard this. He knew that the person who hit him was Xue Dafu. He was not very skilled because he had inherited the throne early. Even though he had learned martial arts when he was young, he was always busy dealing with the government and had no time to learn, so he abandoned it.
However, he still had some foundation and was slightly better than a farmer. Xue Dafu did not have any skills. If he fought back, wouldn’t Xue Dafu be injured?
This was the person who had raised his son for several years and was also a kind farmer. Naturally, he did not retaliate, He could only hide and explain hurriedly, “D-dafu, I’m not a thief, and I’m not stealing anything. Don’t hit me, please! Can you listen to me properly, I beg you!’
“How do you know my name? You must have asked around before you came!” Who knew that Xue Dafu would become even angrier, and the weapon in his hand wrung more aggressively.
“If you aren’t here to steal things, why did you sneak into our backyard? It’s so late at night… Oh, I know.” Suddenly, Xue Dafu reacted. “Xiao lives in the back.. You were going to sneak into her room, weren’t you? You are a rapist!! You deserved to be beaten! I’ll kill you! Xiao’s reputation was almost ruined in your hands! I’ll kill you! How dare you come to our house to bully others! You deserve to go to jail!’
