C489 On the eve of marriage (2/2)
”You are about to get married. Second Brother always feels that you are not lacking in gold and silver, so I should give you what you need the most.
So, a few days ago, you got someone to make a prosthetic limb based on the size and thickness of your calf, and you dug a hole here with buttons and buckled your knee with a strap and buttons so you could walk on your own crutches.
If you didn't move around normally and wore pants and a skirt, no one would be able to tell that you had a problem with your calves.
Moreover, if you wear it for a long time and walk skillfully, you might be able to throw away your walking stick. Xiao He said.
”Really? Great! Second Brother, you're being considerate to me! ” When Xiao Rou saw this prosthetic leg, she almost cried tears of joy. The greatest flaw in her life was this leg!
”You guys try tying the little miss up.” Xiao He instructed the person beside him.
”Yes, Second Young Master.” A few maidservants squatted on the ground and, according to Xiao He's instructions, placed the meticulously crafted prosthetic arm onto Xiao Rou.
Xiao Rou slowly helped the maidservant to stand up and tried it out. As expected, she steadied her body and was able to walk two steps forward slowly.
She was extremely surprised and could not help but say happily, ”Second Brother, this is really my best wedding present. Little Sister, thank you so much. Thank you so much.”
”This is all that second brother can do. I hope that you will be careful when you arrive at the Duke of Yue's estate. You should be careful with what you say.” Xiao He was well aware of his little sister's personality, so he reminded her in an elder brother's tone. As a man, he also knew that there were too many things mixed in with the marriage of His Highness the Fourth Prince that were not pure —
Although he'd always performed so well that he didn't have anything to say, it wasn't that Xiao He couldn't feel the cold and indifferent gaze he occasionally emitted.
Xiao Rou said, ”Second brother, you treat me so well. Don't worry. Since little sister is married, she will always think for her husband.”
”You still have to think for the Xiao family. No matter where you are, you must remember that you are a member of the Xiao family.” Xiao He warned.
”Yes, I am a member of the Xiao family. I will always remember it.” Xiao Rou was truly happy. She lowered her head and looked at her prosthetic arm, but the smile on her face disappeared. Instead, it was filled with resentment as she said,
”But, Second Brother, I still have one last breath left in me! If that bitch Liuyue hadn't harmed me back then, why would I be here today? In addition, the fourth prince had suffered miserably because of her. Time and time again, she had made the fourth prince more and more passive in front of the emperor! I can't help it.
Second brother, you promised your sister that if you ever get the chance to kill a slut in the future, you must not be soft-hearted. You must torture her, kill her, and avenge me and the Fourth Prince, okay? ”You are the elder brother who loves me the most. You will definitely promise me that, right?”
Xiao Rou's ardent gaze looked at Xiao He, and Xiao He's gaze slightly paused. After a moment, he nodded and said, ”Tomorrow is your wedding day, so stop thinking about such unhappy things. Prepare to get married, and be happy.”
”Yes, I know, Second Brother. I just cannot stand to see a slut like her. If anyone were to give me her head, it would definitely be the biggest congratulatory gift ever. ” Xiao Rou said hatefully.
”Rest.” Xiao He pursed his lips and smiled, then walked out of Xiao Rou's room. He stood at the door to her room for a while, and gradually, a complicated expression was revealed within his gaze.
A while later, Madam Xiao also came and told Xiao Rou a few words about herself and her mother.
Indeed, it was useful for Mo Liniang to keep the mute embroidery lady. When she changed into her bridal clothing this morning, it was necessary for her to point out how she was going to dress. She even wrote down instructions for her husband to untie his wedding dress.
