My wife is frail and sickly

Chapter 16 Too easy to bully

First Erya, then Yang Zhuangtou, and finally all the tenants in Zhuangzi discovered that Mother Li was missing.

Shen Xiaolou said lightly, "Oh, Mother Li, she was disobedient and fell off the cliff to her death. By now, her bones may have entered the belly of the beast."

Everyone was silent, only feeling a cold air rushing from the tailbone to the sky. At this moment, they once again clearly realized how terrifying this seemingly harmless little girl in front of them was.

Mother Li, to them, had been such a powerful and powerful figure. She would kill her if she said she wanted to. It was as easy as killing a chicken. It was terrible, so terrible!

Everyone's heads were lowered, and their legs were trembling.

Yang Zhuang first saw that this was not going to work, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "This naughty slave has made a big mistake. The girl is magnanimous and will be given a lighter sentence. She doesn't want to regret it, and she is trying to cause trouble. She really deserves to end up like this!"

Yang Zhuangtou is a capable man. Ever since he was given an important position, he has paid special attention to his words and deeds. He secretly holds himself to the standards of a wealthy family. He even secretly learned from Butler Sun in the Sun Mansion. It is not easy to say such a thing now. . "Yes, she deserves it, she deserves it!" Others agreed.

"It seems that everyone is understanding, so I'm relieved." Shen Xiaolou's face was expressionless, and his eyes passed over casually. Is it time for Tianzao?She leaned back and said, "As I said before, remember, I like obedient people! Girls who eat meat will always make you drink broth!"

"Yes, yes, there is no one with a kinder heart than the girl within hundreds of miles."

"Yes, follow the girl, and the whole family will feel at ease."

"The villain will listen to the girl in everything."

……

One person took the lead, and others expressed their opinions.When speaking, even though the shouting is loud, the voice is floating.It’s not okay if you don’t say it. If you don’t say it even though others are saying it, won’t it be revealed?Are you dissatisfied with the girl?

When everyone came out of the big courtyard, they felt cold sweat when they touched their backs.

Oh my god, the girl is so scary!He has a small face as big as a palm, and he is also skinny. When his face sinks, they feel frightened from the bottom of their hearts, which is strange.But I don’t dare to be disrespectful to girls in the future.

Besides, Shen Xiaolou had nothing to do when he should be eating and drinking.It was too late for her to be happy that there was less of an eyesore in front of her.

But...she thought of the scholar in the village next door, and her eyes flashed.

When Shen Xiaolou went to see Zhuangzi next door, he was listless, as if he had been hit hard. "Scholar, you are so diligent!" Even his voice was weak.

The scholar raised his head from his book, with obvious concern on his face, "Are you sick again?" Being sick all the time at a young age is not a sign of longevity, "Didn't you ask a doctor to take a closer look?"

Shen Xiaolou shook his head, "I'm not sick, it's just... ugh!"

She was vague and sighed deliberately, which indeed caught the scholar's attention and asked her with concern, "Are you in trouble?"

Shen Xiaolou shook his head.

The scholar guessed again, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Shen Xiaolou nodded first, then shook his head, then nodded again, and finally lay down on the table and sighed.

The scholar was very unaccustomed to her look, so he turned around and faced her, "Although I don't know what happened, if Miss Shen doesn't mind it, I can help you with some advice." Shen Xiaolou glanced at him. , and then said: "Mother Li, do you know Mother Li? She is my nanny, she, alas..." sighed again, as if it was difficult to speak, "She is almost the same as Manager Zhang, you Do you know?"

Her words were confusing, but the scholar understood her clearly.Her nanny is similar to Manager Zhang. Doesn’t it mean that this mother Li is also a bad person?It is indeed difficult for a little girl to meet an evil slave.

"Why did she do this? Did I treat her badly? Why did she run away? She fell down such a high cliff. I didn't want her to die. Really, I didn't mean it. I, I... "She buried her head in her arms sadly and shrugged her shoulders.

The scholar understood: This mother Li was restless, and she did something that betrayed her master, and she was caught.So she ran away, panicked, fell off the cliff, and died...

Miss Shen witnessed her nanny falling to death. The girl was timid to begin with, and she was soft-hearted. How sad she must be!
It’s not easy for Miss Shen!

The scholar's eyes were full of sympathy. He wanted to comfort her. He stretched out his hand in the air, and then hurriedly took it back as if he realized something.

"My condolences." It felt inappropriate to say these two dry words. I opened my mouth several times and didn't know what to say.He really didn't know how to comfort the girl!At this moment he found that he was too inarticulate.

The scholar was very depressed. He looked at the girl lying on the table crying silently. She was a small ball, so pitiful!He couldn't help but softened his heart and blurted out, "Miss Shen, let me read to you!" The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea. He was not good at persuading people, but he was a good reader, and his master often praised him.

"Okay!" Shen Xiaolou suddenly raised his head, his bright eyes looking at him expectantly, without any trace of sadness.

Hey, isn't Miss Shen so sad that she sheds tears?Why... Before he could figure it out, Shen Xiaolou's low voice sounded again, "I knew you were coaxing me. You are a noble scholar, and I am just a country girl. How could... It's because I overestimated my abilities." There was a wry smile on her lips, her eyelashes were lowered, and she looked gloomy, "I'm just not lovable, otherwise Mother Li wouldn't..." At the end of the sentence, she said His voice was choked.

"No, no, Miss Shen, please don't cry. You have misunderstood me." The scholar was frightened and hurriedly persuaded me, "Miss Shen is kind-hearted and has saved my life. It's too late for me to be grateful. When you say you're climbing high, you're just trying to climb high. I definitely don't mean to look down on the girl." His eyes were extremely sincere.

"Then, are you still willing to read to me?" Shen Xiaolou raised his eyes and looked over cautiously.

"Of course I do!" The scholar was relieved. As long as he could coax her to stop being sad, let alone just study, he would be willing to do anything no matter how difficult it was.

The scholar picked up the book he had read before and started reading. Shen Xiaolou held his face in his hands and stared at him intently. She didn't know what the scholar read, but she thought the way he read was so beautiful, like an ancient painting with profound artistic conception. painting.

"Wow, scholar, you are so good at reading!" Shen Xiaolou sighed sincerely.

With such a straightforward compliment, the scholar's voice paused, and his cheeks heated up uncontrollably.

"Scholar, you are so talented!"

"Scholar, your voice is so beautiful!"

"I don't know what my future husband will be like. It would be great if he could be like you, scholar."

Shen Xiaolou praised him one after another, and she stared at him like a fool.Even with his eyes lowered, the scholar could feel her burning gaze. His mouth was moving mechanically, his mind was already confused, and the tips of his ears were red.

Such an innocent little scholar, so easy to bully, it's not worth her trouble.

Shen Xiaolou smiled.
