Chapter 266 Lost again

Oh, oh, oh! My dear Rong'er! Please don't be scared, okay? Uncle won't hurt Rong'er!

Emperor Xia felt a pang of heartache as he looked at Xia Rong, who was wailing loudly. He wondered if there was any way to calm the little girl down instantly.

Master, didn't you specifically ask me to prepare some sweet and sour candied hawthorns? Would you like me to give some to our young lady to try?

Emperor Xia lifted Xia Rong high in the air and then put her down, looking at her with a face full of doting affection. At that moment, Xia Rong resembled her mother very much.

Oh! Flying! Our Rong'er is flying!

At this moment, Xia Rong did not smile at Xia Di because of his action. Instead, she immediately stopped crying and opened her small eyes wide to look at Xia Di.

Xia Rong's action reminded Emperor Xia of the first time he held Xia Rong in his arms.

At that time, Xia Rong had just been born. When the midwife brought Xia Rong out of the delivery room, Xia Di immediately went to the midwife's side and held the little Xia Rong in his arms.

Xia Rong, who was still fast asleep, knew that her father was holding her at this moment, so she opened her round eyes and looked at Emperor Xia.

Her big, round eyes looked just like her mother's. When Emperor Xia saw this, he bent down and kissed Xia Rong's eyes.

Besides candied hawthorn berries, what other delicious food is there? Oh, right! Do you have any sour jujube cake prepared? I remember this girl's mother loves sour jujube cake the most.

Meow! Meow! Meow!

Hei Niu called out to Emperor Xia a few times and tried to jump from the servant's arms onto him. But just as she was about to jump, the servant held her firmly in his arms.

Blackie immediately became unhappy and started scratching the servant's arm with her little paws.

The servant originally wanted to hit him hard immediately, but he was afraid that if he did so, he would lose his respectable job.

So, resisting the urge to hit the little black girl, he gently stroked her head, hoping it would calm her down.

Instead of immediately calming down, the little one opened its mouth wide. This terrified the servant, who immediately slammed the black girl onto the floor.

The servant's actions completely enraged Blackie. She suddenly jumped up and pounced on the servant, scratching his face with her little claws, leaving several scars.

Originally, Emperor Xia wanted to immediately pull Hei Niu into his arms, but when he remembered that he was still holding Xia Rong, he immediately covered Xia Rong's eyes with his hands.

Uncle, what are you doing? Do you know that covering my eyes like this is making me very scared?

Oh, oh, oh! Don't be scared, little sister, okay? I'll have someone take this annoying little cat away right away, okay?

Whenever Xia Rong recalls this scene, she can't help but shed tears, because in her memory, this was the only time Emperor Xia held her in his arms and comforted her.

During that time, Emperor Xia truly doted on her, holding her in his arms wherever he went.

Furthermore, he instructed people to prepare all sorts of delicious food for Xia Rong, and the cat named Hei Niu never appeared in front of Xia Rong again after that.

That was because Emperor Xia was afraid that one day Hei Niu would lose her beastly nature and bite Xia Rong! So he ordered people to make a cage suitable for Hei Niu and put her in the cage.

Emperor Xia believed that he and Xia Rong would live happily ever after. As a result, he gradually lowered his guard against the dangers around him.

One day, for some unknown reason, Aunt Xiao, who had always regarded Xia Rong as a thorn in her side, suddenly ran to Emperor Xia's side and said that she wanted to take Xia Rong and her youngest daughter to go shopping for clothes.

When Emperor Xia heard this news, he thought that Aunt Xiao had finally come to her senses! She realized that by spoiling Xia Rong as much as he did, she could win his favor.

So he entrusted Xia Rong to her with peace of mind, but to Xia Di's surprise, Xia Rong encountered another misfortune.

Because Xia Rong was wearing a very brightly colored outfit when she went out with Aunt Xiao that day, and Aunt Xiao had sprayed perfume on Xia Rong before leaving.

This perfume is no ordinary perfume; it's a perfume that Aunt Xiao specially formulated to make small animals immediately become restless upon smelling it.

Aunt Xiao originally wanted to spray this perfume on Hei Niu's body so that the little one would become very restless.

Because she knew Xia Di's temper too well, whenever Xia Di saw Hei Niu become very irritable, he would hold the little one in his arms to comfort her.

The little one could then take the opportunity to bite Emperor Xia's arm, and perhaps Emperor Xia would kick Hei Niu out of the Xia Mansion because of this.

To prevent Hei Niu from entering her room, Aunt Xiao used to keep many dogs in her yard.

But she didn't realize that her actions would only push her husband further away. Ever since she started keeping many dogs in her courtyard, the Xia Emperor had stopped visiting her.

Even though she bore three sons for the Xia Emperor, he showed her no affection whatsoever. He ruthlessly expelled her from the Xia residence and forced her three sons to sever ties with her.

Especially when Emperor Xia learned that she had spent a lot of money to hire someone to abduct Xia Rong, who had already returned to his side, to a very remote mountain valley.

Xia Rong's departure once again left Emperor Xia feeling utterly devastated! Emperor Xia's temper also became extremely volatile from this point onward.

If anyone slightly displeases him, he immediately slaps that person hard. Since Xia Rong disappeared from his side, the period has truly been a time of great suffering for Emperor Xia.

He was devastated for many years because of this incident! Until that day, when the little girl he had been longing for reappeared in front of Emperor Xia.

At this moment, Emperor Xia's commercial empire was at its zenith, and he had become a great figure revered by thousands.

Someone has spread the rumor that Emperor Xia's beloved daughter went missing several years ago. Anyone who finds her and brings her before Emperor Xia will be richly rewarded.

When the Xia Emperor learned of this, he was furious because he had not released the news.

Although Emperor Xia has been very anxious to find his beloved daughter all these years, he has completely kept the news of Xia Rong's disappearance a secret.

The purpose was to prevent Xia Rong from falling into danger again, and at the same time, he secretly ordered someone to build a small wooden house for Xia Rong.

He brought all twenty of his kittens to Xia Rong's little wooden house. His purpose was to have these twenty kittens protect Xia Rong's safety.
