Chapter 1559: 1559 house arrest

"Isn’t there supposed to be a bond of blood thicker than water between natural born children?" Xiao Yuchuan looked at Shen Yun with an especially strange expression in his eyes, "I don’t have it with you, nor with Xiao Chonghuan."

Guilty emotions surfaced in Shen Yun’s eyes, "Chuan’er, you are indeed the biological son of Mom and Dad, there’s absolutely no mistake. When Mom sees you, I know you are my son, I’ve missed you and thought of you for over twenty years. I know, since you were little, I haven’t been by your side, you hate me, you resent me, but Mom had no choice. If I had brought you back earlier, the one who would have died wouldn’t have been the impostor Xiao Jingyuan, but you. Mom just wants to make amends now, Chuan’er, please, I beg you, don’t speak such groundless words that you’re not the heir of the Xiao Family again; if people with ulterior motives hear, they could exploit such false information."

Suddenly turning around, she saw Xiao Chonghuan standing outside the door, not knowing when he had arrived.

She ran to him crying, "Master..."

Xiao Chonghuan’s facial expression was stern, angry yet mixed with guilt, "Chuan’er, Dad heard from the servants that you had woken up and came to see you. Your mother is right, we owe you, and we’ve let you suffer terribly in that remote Wushan Village. Don’t say again that you are not the Xiao Clan’s rightful heir. You are the only son of me and your mother; even if I were to dig out my heart and liver, it would all be for the remorse and love I have for you."

"You say it so nicely, but it sounds even better than singing!" Xiao Yuchuan coldly laughed, "If you really had my best interests at heart, then why drug me, causing me to remain unconscious all the way from Longwan Town until now? Almost two months have passed, and if this continues, not only will my body be ruined, but I could also damage my brain and become a fool."

"That won’t happen," Xiao Chonghuan said decisively. "I had the imperial doctor prepare medicine with the proper strength that won’t affect your body..."

In fact, he knew that if Chuan’er slept for another month, he could fall into the condition mentioned. But he would never admit it; as the Xiao Clan’s legitimate son, suffering injustice and pain for the family’s interest was of no consequence.

"Is that so," Xiao Yuchuan did not believe him at all.

The more he looked at the Xiao couple, the more hypocritical he found them, "So you’re saying, the imperial doctor deceived you, and my prolonged unconsciousness could lead to that condition?"

"Could that really be the case?" Xiao Chonghuan feigned disbelief, "That’s outrageous, Doctor Li said it wouldn’t have any impact on your body. I’ll hold him accountable right away!"

Xiao Yuchuan just watched him put on an act, "All of you get out!"

The Xiao couple wanted to explode in anger, but when they saw the pallor on their son’s face, they angrily left. Before leaving, Xiao Chonghuan instructed, "Keep a close watch on Chuan’er, he cannot take even half a step out of the Xiao Mansion!"

"Yes," the guard outside the door obeyed the command.

Xiao Yuchuan’s brows furrowed, Xiao Chonghuan was putting him under house arrest!

The room quickly became empty of people.

Xiao Yuchuan got out of bed, and as soon as he stood up after putting on his shoes, he felt a spell of dizziness and fell back onto the bed.

Curse it, the drug’s effects weren’t limited to making him unconscious; even awake, it left him completely weak and limp, unable to muster the strength to stand!

"Young Master, let this maid help you up..." Maid Xi’er, who was waiting outside the door, saw his condition and hurried into the room.

Xiao Yuchuan closed his eyes, trying to gather his Zhenqi, but found that he couldn’t muster it. It looked like it was Soft Bone Powder; without detoxification, he wouldn’t be able to use any of his strength.

"Young Master?" Xi’er called cautiously.

"What is the date today, in the early days of which month?"

Xi’er answered truthfully, and Xiao Yuchuan pondered for a moment, the Xiao couple couldn’t have drugged him with the intention of having him lay unconscious in bed for a lifetime.
