Nan Qiao had been feeling extremely down upon learning that the person was coming over, but now, comforted by Su Yu, his mood had finally improved.
“Let’s go.”
After this, Wang Jinhe noticed that wherever Su Yu went, Nan Qiao would follow.
It was as if Nan Qiao was on the verge of sharing the same bedroom with Su Yu.
Initially, Wang Jinhe didn’t think much of it. However, after a while, he pulled Su Yu aside and asked, “What’s been going on with Nan Qiao these past few days? He’s been following you around every day.”
It had reached a point where Nan Qiao would even follow Su Yu to the restroom.
It could be said that Nan Qiao was inseparable from Su Yu.
Su Yu sighed helplessly and said, “There’s no way around it. Nan Qiao told me a few days ago that his mother is coming.”
Wang Jinhe subconsciously furrowed his brow. He had heard about Nan Qiao’s mother, who had used him as a test subject from a young age, regardless of whether Nan Qiao could bear it or not. Later, she abandoned Nan Qiao in Forget Sorrow City.
When Nan Qiao mentioned this, the darkness in his eyes and the disgust were evident to Wang Jinhe, indicating Nan Qiao’s dislike for that woman.
It was clear that Nan Qiao not only disliked her but loathed her presence. Now, with her sudden plan to visit, it was understandable why Nan Qiao’s mood was sour.
“Nan Qiao asked me that day what he had done wrong for that woman to treat him that way. In reality, Nan Qiao is quite sensitive to pain. Later, I heard from Bai Qi that Nan Qiao’s pain sensitivity is at least doubled compared to an average person.”
“Has it always been like this since he was young?” Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu in astonishment.
Doubling the pain sensitivity would indeed mean that breaking one rib would feel like breaking three at once.
“Yes, it’s been like this since he was young, and I heard from Bai Qi that Nan Qiao’s mother is aware of it.”
Wang Jinhe opened his mouth to speak but couldn’t find the right words.
In such circumstances, Nan Qiao’s mother still used him as a test subject, even with his heightened pain sensitivity. The young Nan Qiao must have endured tremendous pain after being poisoned.
“What happened next?”
“Nan Qiao’s uncle, upon learning about all this, took Nan Qiao away.” After taking Nan Qiao, his mother became even more ruthless towards him. Eventually, in the absence of Nan Qiao’s uncle, she had him thrown into Forget Sorrow City, hoping he would meet his own demise.
To everyone’s surprise, Nan Qiao not only survived in Forget Sorrow City but also developed extraordinary abilities.
“The cruelty back then was truly insane. It’s unimaginable what kind of atrocities one could commit.” This person is truly despicable.
Su Yu nodded with a smile, “You’re right. This woman’s visit must have ulterior motives.”
“Make sure to protect Nan Qiao. He is a part of our family and must not be bullied by anyone.”
“Don’t worry, Nan Qiao is not that easy to bully now.” Can someone bully a little prodigy like him?
Not to mention his skills, even Nan Qiao’s witchcraft techniques surpass his mother’s by a significant margin.
Nan Qiao is the most gifted child in the Nanjiang in a century.
Therefore, he was titled as the Young Prince at a very young age and is the heir to the Nanjiang.
“I see.”
“Regardless, we’ll deal with it when that woman arrives. If she dares to bully Nan Qiao, I’ll have Tangyuan and the others drive her out.” Tangyuan now have a deeper attack power and increased intelligence.
Even Big Flower and the others could peck a chunk of flesh from someone if they really wanted to.
Although they usually act indifferent towards family members, they are actually very protective.
“Understood.”
A few days later, a woman dressed in exotic attire stood at Wang Jinhe’s doorstep.
“Is Nan Qiao here?”
“Our sources indicate that the Young Prince is indeed here.”
The woman turned to the speaker, “If I hear you address him like that again, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”
“Is he worthy to be Young Prince of the Nanjiang?”
The guard beside her quickly lowered his head, not daring to say more, feeling somewhat helpless.
This Young Prince is recognized throughout the entire Nanjiang. The lady saying he isn’t worthy won’t change anything.
“Knock on the door.”
The guard approached and knocked on the door. Someone inside heard the knock, came out, and opened the door.
Seeing the visitors at the door, the person asked curiously, “Whom are you looking for?”
“We’re here to see Nan Qiao.”
Before they could finish speaking, the door was abruptly shut in their faces, not allowing them to say another word.
Witnessing such blatant disrespect, the woman’s expression turned extremely grim. “Force the door open for me.”
“Madam, please reconsider.”
“This is the residence of the Imperial Prince Yu and Princess of Xuan Empire. If we intrude without permission, it could lead to trouble.” The guard accompanying them knew that their Young Prince had been associated with the Imperial Prince Yu of Xuan Empire.
The high-yield crops Nan Qiao had brought to be cultivated in the past two years were a favor granted by Xuan Empire, all due to the Young Prince’s influence.
Otherwise, how could they have received such benefits?
Other countries couldn’t even purchase such goods, no matter how much money they offered.
“Madam, the high-yield crops in Nanjiang were granted by Xuan Empire as a favor to the Young Prince. If we offend the Imperial Prince and his wife, princess Jinhe, and they refuse to provide us with high-yield crops, we would be considered traitors of the Nanjiang.” The agricultural output in Nanjiang was indeed meager. It was only in the past two years, with the help of Xuan Empire’s high-yield crops, that the people’s livelihoods had improved slightly.
If their emotions led to the loss of these privileges, they would have no way to explain themselves upon returning.
With that reminder, the woman recalled that her beloved son had formed a close relationship with the Imperial Prince of Xuan Empire.
Due to the appearance of high-yield crops in Nanjiang, the people knew that Nan Qiao had secured this for them. This event elevated Nan Qiao’s prestige in Nanjiang even further.
With his natural talents and newfound prestige, it was only a matter of time before Nan Qiao became the King of Nanjiang.
But how could she accept it? If Nan Qiao became the King of Nanjiang, what would happen to her eldest son? He was the one she envisioned as the King of Nanjiang.
This visit was also related to this issue.
Taking a deep breath to suppress her anger, she commanded, “Continue knocking on the door.”
“There’s someone outside looking for Young Master Nan Qiao.”
Su Yu glanced at Nan Qiao beside him, “What does the person look like?”
“Dressed in exotic attire, giving off a formidable aura.”
Su Yu understood who it was and turned to Nan Qiao, “Do you want to meet them?”
“Definitely.” Nan Qiao knew that since the woman had come all the way from Nanjiang, she wouldn’t give up without seeing him. In that case, why wouldn’t he meet her?
“Bring them in.”
The servant went to the door, opened it, and addressed the visitors, “Our Young Master invites you in. Please follow me.”
The woman followed inside, observing Nan Qiao conversing with Su Yu, her eyes filled with displeasure towards him.
Why not give this opportunity to his brother instead?
She just didn’t understand at all.
“Greetings, Your Highness Imperial Prince, greetings, Young Prince.”
Nan Qiao glanced at the person kneeling on the ground, said nothing, and continued eating the fruit on the table.
Seeing Nan Qiao’s indifferent attitude, the woman couldn’t contain her anger. She coldly asked, “Upon seeing your own mother, Nan Qiao, you can’t even address me?”
Nan Qiao glanced at the woman, scratched his ear impatiently, and replied, “You are Nan Yue’s mother, not mine. I am not your son, so don’t come here trying to act close to me.”
“It seems these past years have made you wild and reckless. Seize him, beat him.”
