Chapter 142 Amnesia? Or disguise?
Siguo Hall.

Quan Xiu reviewed the documents in front of the case.

The little snake was locked in a special cage with several layers of soft quilts, and placed on the table. He could see it at all times.

"This is a minor punishment, but a serious warning. I'll lock you up for three days." Quan Xiu flipped a page of documents and said calmly, "Next time you run around, I won't look for you."

Xiao Qi was already depressed, and upon hearing this, she burst into tears, "Wow, I am indeed a motherless child, and my father doesn't even love me. When my sister hatches, I will become a little grass that no one loves."

“……” Why is he so noisy? Who did he take this temperament from?

Quan Xiu sighed with a headache, "I didn't say I don't care about you."

Every time it ran away, he would rush over to find it. No matter what kind of trouble it got into, Quan Xiu would settle it.

"Then Dad! Let me out!"

"Let me out, you're going to run around again."

"I won't run around this time, I promise, I found my mother!"

"Are you talking about that female?" Quan Xiu paused, and for some reason he couldn't read the words in the book. He remembered what the little snake had said last time, that she had an aura that made him instinctively want to get close to her, and he couldn't help but want to find her.

"She is my mother, absolutely true. Dad, if you quickly bring my mother home, I will never run around again." Xiao Qi said.

"...When you first came to the palace, you used the same reason. You said that you liked the scent of the concubine Luanzhi and it made you feel close to her, so I kept her. You changed wives too quickly and I couldn't marry her enough." Quan Xiu had heard it use this reason more than once, so he didn't take it to heart.

"No, it's different! I just like the smell of Luanzhi. I don't know why, it smells good. I can't help but want to smell it on her, but I don't like her. She always uses me as an excuse to pester Dad. I'm so tired of her!" The little snake said anxiously, "You can't marry Luanzhi, you have to marry mother. You should keep mother by your side. I swear, I will never run around again!"

"If you'd be obedient, I'd consider it."

"That's great, Dad. You must stay with Mom well. Other little beastmen have parents. In the future, Xiao Qi will also have a mother!"

Quan Xiu nodded, his heart calm. It made no difference to him who he married.

Whoever Xiaoqi wants to be a beast mother, he will choose as his partner and give it the home it longs for.

"Sir, the noblewoman you brought back this morning has woken up, and she wants to see you for something."

"Well, let her in."

As soon as Sang Luo entered the house, he saw Xiao Qi trapped in a cage and felt both amused and helpless.

Quan Xiu put down the documents in his hand, looked at her, and dismissed the servants serving him.

"What do you want from me?"

Sang Luo looked at him, with another mask on his face. It was useless to wear the mask or not. "Well, thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome, just handy."

Sang Luo was speechless, pursed his lips, and asked again, "Quan Xiu, why did you pretend not to know you when I met you at the morning market last time?"

"……We know each other?"

"You don't remember me?" Sang Luo was surprised.

He didn't respond, and no one knew what he was thinking. Sang Luo also didn't know what to say. The two looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

After a while, Quan Xiu picked up the cage on the desk and walked over to her, handing it to her, "I have some things to deal with. My son likes you very much. I wonder if you have time to help me take care of it."

The two were close, Sang Luo could smell the faint fragrance on him, very familiar, very nice... As soon as Xiao Qi saw Sang Luo, he wagged his tail happily. Sang Luo also liked this little snake very much. She came back to her senses and took the cage, "Don't worry, I will take good care of your little prince!"

Quan Xiu nodded in satisfaction and left first.

After Sang Luo took Xiao Qi out, they met Luan Zhi again. She must have come to find Quan Xiu. When she saw Sang Luo with the little snake, her face suddenly became ugly.

Is this the resentment for snatching away your son?

Sang Luo put herself in his shoes and felt bad too. She was thinking whether she should return the little snake to Luan Zhi when the little snake suddenly said, "Mom, I'm sleepy. Can you take Xiao Qi to your room to sleep? Xiao Qi wants to sleep in your arms."

"You! You can talk!" Sang Luo was surprised. Was the mother calling her? Or...

Sang Luo looked at Luan Zhi who was not afraid to speak and then looked at Xiao Qi who was swaying happily towards her. The two of them did not look like a real mother and son. It seemed that she had guessed wrong before. Luan Zhi was not Xiao Qi's real mother.

She chuckled and said, "Mom, don't yell."

"But you are my mother. I like the smell of your mother and I want to be with you."

A strange feeling flashed through Sang Luo's mind.

The little snake came to her several times and was very close to her. The little cub was not going to pretend, it really regarded her as its mother...

But nothing happened between her and Quan Xiu.

No, from the time she entered the mansion until now, she has never really seen Quan Xiu's face. A thought flashed through Sang Luo's mind, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably.

The brothers Quan Xiu and Caesar look almost the same, but there are slight differences between their eyebrows and eyes. She can tell them apart. If she can take off the mask, the truth will be revealed.

But, let’s not talk about whether Kaisar is really still alive? Quan Xiu’s attitude towards her is cold, as if he is looking at a stranger. How could it be him...

Is it a disguise? Or amnesia?

In just a few breaths, Sang Luo's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts. He had some vague guesses, but no evidence yet.

She said to Xiao Qi, "Can you tell mother what happened between you and your father over the past year?"

"Okay, mother! But Xiaoqi only woke up half a year ago, so there are many things he doesn't know. But I will tell you everything I know." It said happily.

Sang Luo took Xiao Qi back to the house.

Luan Zhi was a little far away and didn't know what the two were talking about, but when she saw Sang Luo and the little snake being so intimate, she felt a huge sense of crisis in her heart.

Normally, because she was close to the little snake, Quan Xiu would often stay by her side. But now, another female had replaced her, which made Luan Zhi feel panic.

It’s not good if it’s not his biological child. It’s so easy to be kidnapped! She can’t wait any longer. She must get pregnant with Quan Xiu’s child as soon as possible to maintain her position.

Luan Zhi went to the Siguo Hall and found that Quan Xiu had already left. She gave the housekeeper a few crystal stones and said, "Please inform me when you come back, sir."

In the evening, the housekeeper sent someone to report that Quan Xiu had returned.

Luan Zhi changed into a pink lotus gauze skirt as thin as a cicada's wing, took some meal and pastries, and went to the study.

The man was correcting documents on the memorial.

He had a pure and elegant appearance, black hair without a crown, a white inner garment, a dark blue cloak draped over his back, and a casual posture.

Luan Zhi felt a desire ignited in her body, and her mouth became dry. "Sir, I will grind ink for you."
