Chapter 78 Diana's Son
After marrying Princess Elena, Zhou Ming did not leave the capital Watz City immediately, but stayed for a while.
While he was having a honeymoon with the princess, he asked the deputy general to take five thousand troops to help the Count Luga Fort, which was besieged by the Count Luga. With just one accelerated charge, he rushed to the exhausted Arino Kingdom army that had been siege for several months and fled in a panic.
On this day, Zhou Ming, who was hunting in the forest with Elena, heard a hurried guard. After reporting a message in his ear, he put down the bow and arrow in his hand, hugged the princess and apologized, and hurried back to Woz City.
North of the city.
A piece of house is generally low, with a messy layout, sewage and garbage everywhere, and a stinky slum that can be heard everywhere.
Zhou Ming, with several guards holding his nose, walked through the lane-like lane under the guidance of a local guide, and finally walked to a house with a building with a height of less than two meters, low and dilapidated, messy debris at the door, and a stone wall and roof covered with dirty and dark spots.
"Great Knight, this is the home of the 'Poisonous Madam'."
Zhou Ming winked, and the guard understood and took out a purse from his waist and threw it into the guide's hand.
After taking the purse, the middle-aged guide was overjoyed, bowed repeatedly, looked around with vigilance for a while, quickly put the purse into his pocket, bent over, and dismissed.
"Dangdangdang~"
In front of the low room, a guard stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, he heard the sound of the door bolt pulling, and a young and tender face poked out from the crack of the door.
Zhou Ming was shocked.
The guards beside them were also surprised and looked at each other.
Like, it's so similar!
Especially the eyes and mouth, they are simply carved from the same mold.
"Is there anything wrong with you here?"
Seeing everyone, the young boy stared at everyone and asked, bowing his waist slightly, like a leopard with his head ready to go, his face full of suspicion and vigilance.
When his eyes swept to Zhou Ming in the middle of the guard, the boy was slightly stunned. This person...
"We are here to find the 'Drug Madam'. Is she at home?" a guard asked.
Hearing the word "toxic nanny", the young man seemed to be greatly stimulated and shook his arms and shouted to everyone: "No, are you here or not! You have found the wrong person, there are no nanny here, you can go away quickly!"
After saying that, the boy turned around and retreated into the house and wanted to bring the door with him.
"Wait a moment!"
Zhou Ming shouted, took two steps forward and said, "I am Diana's friend. I came here today just to see her, and there is no other meaning."
Diana?
The boy was stunned. How did this person know his mother's name? He then saw him walking in front of him, stretching out his hand to put the door handle, and whispering to himself: "Let me go in alone, go in and take a look at her."
"Ahem!!"
At this time, a violent hoarse cough came from the room. The boy panicked and let go of his hand holding the door, quickly walked into the room, holding the hand that had been taken out of the quilt on the bed, put it back into the quilt, and asked with concern: "Mom, are you okay?"
In the quilt, a blade like a porcelain scraping sound came: "Otto, the guest is here, let the guest come over, cough cough..." After saying that, he started to cough violently again.
"Mom! He is not a guest, he said he is your friend." The boy was anxious, his mother was so sick, and she was still thinking about her guests!
"It's me, Diane..."
Zhou Ming, who had walked in, was halfway through his words, and was immediately shocked by the patient on the bed, his mouth wide open and he could not speak.
What kind of look is this?
The face was covered with brown, yellow, dark wrinkles, skins like dead trees and bones like skeletons. His beautiful face was so beautiful when he was young. His frown and smile, even his expressions were slightly moved, and he spoke, causing wrinkles movements. When others saw it, they would feel numb and disgusting.
Poisonous mother.
Zhou Ming now understood why those people outside took such a nickname, it was poisonous, and it was really poisonous.
"It's you?"
Hearing this familiar voice, the woman on the bed suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she was relieved, and sighed softly: "You are finally here, okay, okay..."
After asking the boy to leave the house, Zhou Ming moved a stool and sat by the bed, and started to ask and talk to this woman who had a love relationship with him in detail.
How did Diana and her son come over the years?
Zhou Ming really wants to know the answer to this question, and really wants to ask, how has the mother and son been doing over the years?
But for these things, Diana on the hospital bed said nothing, but just smiled "bright" on her face. The more urgent Zhou Ming asked, the more ugly and terrifying the smile on her face was.
In fact, the answer to this question was already clearly answered in my heart after Zhou Ming sent someone to investigate and analyzed and summarized the clues.
After Diana gave birth to a son in the deep palace, perhaps because she was worried about her old love. The old king did not do anything to her. Even though everyone was very worried, she still claimed that it was his son. However, for the sake of punishment, Diana was demoted to the lowest-level palace maid and cut off all the treatment of a favored concubine, including the kind of drug Diana often took to maintain skin elasticity and luster.
In this way, he spent three years in the deep palace. When the old king died of illness and the new king came to power, Helian drove the woman with wrinkles on his face and her three-year-old bastard son out of the palace without hesitation.
The ten years after being driven out of the palace and spending all the savings on their bodies, it is almost impossible to predict how the mother and son should continue to survive.
Diana, who has no survival skills and can only entertain people in her life, has any jobs for her to choose from besides planning careers in projects she is good at?
I heard the special service of "toxic nanny" in the slums that people talked about, and Diana, who is good at thinking about men's psychology, opened up a heavy taste market.
"What is the name of the child? What is his name?"
Zhou Ming, who was silent for a while and no longer confused about the answer, asked Diana.
"Otto, his name is Otto. In my country, this is the meaning of a majestic lion." A trace of pride flashed across Diana's face. This is how she got her son's name!
"Otto...the majestic lion..."
Zhou Ming muttered twice, looked at the quiet and silent boy standing beside him, and his green face that was five points similar to him, were covered with the gloom that was not very adaptable to his age, and his frowns released a heart-wrenching perseverance and maturity.
"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ahh!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of fierce noise and fighting outside the house.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Ming frowned and walked to the door. He saw a man lying on the ground, as if he was a hooligan, who was beaten by several guards and screamed.
"Sir, these gangsters said that Otto owed them 500 gold coins, and now he comes to the door to ask him to pay back the money." A guard came over and explained.
"Nonsense! I obviously only borrowed 50 gold coins, and I promised to pay back 100 gold coins in one month. It's only been more than a month or two days. You said I owed 500 gold coins, and I have so much money to pay you back?" The boy walked out of the house and argued with anger.
In order to treat his mother, he had sold everything that could be sold in his family. The only thing worth it now is this house with a better location, so he dared to borrow 50 gold coins from the usury merchants, and a month later, he used the house to pay off his debts.
But he lived for two more days, and the loan shark actually rose to 500 gold coins...
"Boy! You don't know the rule that the interest rate will double if you have a day of overdue loans, right? If you moved out of this house two days ago, there would be no problem, but today, not only will you pay off the debt with this house, but you have to follow us! You are so handsome that you will train your nobles in the south. I don't know how to fight for it! Hahaha, don't think that these people you invited can protect you for the rest of your life!"
The gangster leader with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth said with a crazy smile.
"Palm!" Zhou Ming frowned and said to the guard beside him.
"Ba!Ba!Ba!Ba!Ba!Ba!"
After a while, the gangster leader, whose face was as swollen as a pig, cried desperately and begged for mercy.
"Give them 50 gold coins, get out! If you dare to come again, kill them all!"
Frightened by the murderous aura in Zhou Ming's eyes, the gangsters who got the purse left this place of right and wrong.
The boy watching all this on the side looked at Zhou Ming, who had solved the most vicious and vicious hooligans in the slums in just a few words, and in his every move, Zhou Ming, who was full of the aura of the superior, had a huge spiritual impact, which made him speechless. A small fire was planted in his heart.
...
A few days later.
Diana on the hospital bed is almost out of reach.
When Zhou Ming came to visit, Diana, who had already explained to her son, reached out to him.
Zhou Ming quickly grabbed the hand that was like dry firewood hanging cloth, leaned forward, his ears leaned to her mouth, and said, "I'm here, what do you want to say."
"Take care for me...he..." said an extremely faint voice.
"Okay, I will take care of him, I will take good care of him!"
Zhou Ming made a promise, but after a while, he found that Diana was reluctant to close her eyes, as if she had any wishes. She used the dry and thin hand to slowly lean into her face.
Zhou Ming, who seemed to understand what it means, put this hand on his face and let her rub her gently, her lips moving, as if she was saying a name.
"Otto..." In the gradually blurred vision, it seemed as if he saw Diana, who had grown up, standing in front of him, with two lines of tears flowing from the corner of her eyes, and she slowly closed her eyes.
"Oh~"
After wiping the water droplets in the corner of his eyes, Zhou Ming, who had experienced this scene countless times, couldn't help but sigh.
However, after seeing the boy's face on the side, there was no fluctuation, as if he was not concerned about his own behavior, Zhou Ming was furious:
"Why don't you cry?!"
The boy clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and stared at him with red eyes, "Mom said, Wuren can't cry at any time! Wuren can't be timid and cowardly at any time! Because my name is Otto! My name is Otto!"
boom!
Zhou Ming trembled violently and stared at the woman on the bed. The sentence in his mind was echoing and it never dissipated for a long time.
A great mother!
