Xiao Zhuzi stayed overnight in the medicine hall. Early the next morning, the old doctor said that the fever was gone and there was no serious problem. He prescribed some decoctions and sent him home to take care of himself.
The hole on his head could not see the wind, so Su Luo rented a small carriage to take him home.
He woke up in the middle of the night last night, but at that time there were only doctors and boys who were doing night clinics in the medicine hall. Su Luo and the others were not here. Now that he was taken home, Xiao Zhuzi had drooped eyelids and a sullen face in the unfamiliar environment.
With his hands clenched into fists, he stood against the wall awkwardly and uneasily, looking like he was far away from anyone.
Su Luo did not force him to go to the bed. She only took out the documents Xiao Yu gave her and asked him, "Are you homesick?"
Xiao Zhuzi lowered his head and shook it lightly, but the injury on his head was too serious. He felt dizzy and nauseated even if he shook it so lightly. He quickly stopped moving and just said in a low voice: "No."
The voice is very cold.
Su Luo asked again: "Do you miss your dad?"
"No."
The voice became colder.
Su Luo said: "It's good if you don't want to. Your father sold you to us. This will be your home from now on. This is the document that sold you. It doesn't matter if you can't read now. You can read it if you want to after you become literate."
Xiao Zhuzi, who had always lowered his head, suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Luo in surprise.
Even though he raised his head a little violently and felt a wave of nausea, he didn't move his eyes away. He just stared at Su Luo, fearing that he might have misunderstood or misunderstood, so he opened his mouth and said, "Sell it."
?”
Su Zimu stood next to Xiao Zhuzi, fearing that he would feel sad, so he quickly said: "You will never have to be beaten again. We don't spank children in our family."
Xiao Zhuzi ignored Su Zimu and looked at Su Luo, "Did you give him money?"
Chun Xing spoke quickly, "It's ten taels of silver. At first, your father wanted twenty taels."
Xiao Zhuzi frowned, his face turned ugly, he moved his lips several times, and said with a pale face: "I'm not worth so much money, I... just return it, I'll get the money for you
return."
He has a bad life.
Su Zimu quickly grabbed him, "Why don't you give back? If it's not worth it, the money has already been spent. If you think you're not worth it, just heal your injury quickly. After you heal, stay with me and be good to me."
, it’s worth the money.”
Su Luo made it clear to Xiao Zhuzi what she needed to say and didn't stay any longer.
Firstly, she has been here all the time, and the child is nervous, which is not conducive to recovery. Secondly, she has no time to stay and talk to him, so the two little ones can talk to themselves.
Su Luo took Chun Xing out to do some business.
Su Zimu smiled and said to Xiao Zhuzi: "Don't leave, we will be a family from now on. Do you still want to go back to that home? Don't you want to be a family with me?"
Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat. Oh, I'll help you go to bed to rest first. From now on, we'll sleep in this room and my sister will sleep over there."
Xiao Zhuzi was in a mess now and had no intention of paying attention to Su Zimu, but suddenly heard the words "my sister" and looked at him unexpectedly.
Su Zimu smiled mysteriously at Xiao Zhuzi, "My eldest brother and second brother are my eldest and second sisters. In our family, we are the only two men now, so you have to take good care of your injuries and develop your academic skills, and then join me in the future.
It’s not enough for me to protect them.”
Xiao Zhuzi was silent for a while, pursed his lips, and nodded.
Su Zimu helped Xiao Zhuzi to the bed and poured him a bowl of hot water. "What I'm talking about is a secret. Even Brother Xiao thinks that my eldest and second brother are really men."
Xiao Zhuzi took the bowl and said, "I will keep it a secret."
After finishing speaking, he paused and looked at Su Zimu solemnly. His face was thin, but his eyes were bright and firm. They overlapped layer by layer with those scenes in Su Zimu's memory. He said: "I protect
You guys, good to you."
...
While Xiao Zhuzi was recovering from his injuries, Su Zimu no longer went to play with Zhang Xiaochuan every day, so he took his two puppies to guard him.
Zhang Xiaochuan had long regarded Su Zimu as a good friend, but Su Zimu couldn't get over, so he brought a bunch of children over. A group of children played at Su's house every day, and the yard was lively every day.
Chun Xing would sometimes sit at the door of the wing and wash herself off, looking at the young men in that courtyard in trance.
She couldn't help but feel happy.
Fortunately, he came from Zhenninghou Mansion, otherwise... how could Zimu have so many friends.
...
Three or five days passed in the blink of an eye, and at midnight, Ping An entered the hospital carrying a sack.
"Your Majesty, people have brought it."
The sack was thrown to the ground, and Ping An took Wang Er out of the sack. Wang Er was tied up with Wuhua Dadai, and his mouth was gagged with rags. His eyes were red, and he looked at the person in front of him in horror, whimpering desperately.
Whining,
Xiao Yu sat on the chair, "I don't have much patience. If I ask you a question, you'd better tell the answer clearly again and again. Think it through before speaking. Let me know that you lied or concealed something. Don't blame me."
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes for a moment and raised his chin.
Ping An pulled the rag out of Wang Er's mouth.
Wang Er immediately cried, "Our signatures and pledges were stamped with the official seal, and you yourself promised ten taels of silver..."
He only thought that Xiao Yu tied him because of what happened before.
Xiao Yu didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, "Are you Wang Changmin's younger brother?"
Xiao Yu said something in a normal tone, and Wang Er suddenly stopped talking as if he had pressed some mechanism. He opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth half-open, and looked at Xiao Yu with a look of fear on his face.
Xiao Yu half-raised his eyelids and said, "I've thought about my answer clearly."
Wang Er shivered all over and looked at Xiao Yu. He didn't know what this person meant for a moment. He licked his lips and said, "Yes, I am."
Pa~
Ping An was holding a whip in his hand. The whip had barbs on it, and he whipped the whip directly towards Wang Er's thigh.
Wang Er couldn't stand the pain. He was about to scream, but no sound came out and Ping An blocked his mouth.
Xiao Yu clicked his tongue and said, "I told you to think clearly before speaking. Also, don't scream."
Xiao Yu's voice was obviously gentle and gentle, but it gave people a feeling of chills all over their body.
Wang Er nodded with tears in his eyes.
It hurt so much that I was sweating profusely.
Ping An pulled the rag out of his mouth, and Xiao Yu raised his chin to let him speak.
Wang Er swallowed his saliva, "I was Mr. Wang's attendant. At that time, Mr. Wang returned to Wangjia Village from Kyoto, and his younger brother stayed in Kyoto."
"He was suspended for investigation, why did he suddenly return to Wangjiacun? Who are those gangsters? Is Wang Changmin... dead?"
At that time, when he heard this man asking the clan leader about Wang Changmin on the carriage, Wang Er was frightened out of his wits.
He simply inquired a few words at that time and put it down without mentioning it again. Wang Er just thought that he was bored and listened to the story, took ten taels of silver and went back, and bought himself a meal of good wine and meat.
I don't think it's because I didn't mention it, but it's not the right time.
Looking at Xiao Yu, Wang Er's teeth chattered.
"On the surface, Mr. Wang was suspended for investigation. In fact, under the emperor's order, he wanted to secretly inspect Jinnan Wharf on the pretext of returning to his hometown to visit relatives. Mr. Wang said that the construction of Jinnan Wharf was weird. When water transportation was not interrupted, Jinnan Wharf
As things keep happening, there must be something wrong with the underlying infrastructure.
I don't know what the problem was. Mr. Wang was poisoned before he had time to investigate.
Those...are not gangsters, they are sent by aristocratic families."
Wang Er said with a guilty conscience, his eyes wandering wildly.
Xiao Yu snorted coldly, "They were sent by aristocratic families, but you must have cooperated inside and outside, right? Wang Changmin's kung fu will not lead to a tragic death."
