There is room for the evil peasant woman

"This name was given to me by my mother. She wanted me to stand proudly like a green bamboo, and like a lotus flower emerging from the mud without being stained, but..."

Shen Ran held Shen Yan's hand tightly.

Seeing this, Shen Yan sighed softly and rubbed Shen Ran's head comfortingly...

After knowing about Shen Ran, Shen Yan finally knew why he saw Shen Ran lying on the ground covered in blood that day.

"But, mother, just call me Shen Ran as you did before, or Shen, Jinzhu... I promised you that in these five years, I will only be your son."

"Okay!" Shen Yan responded with a smile. She knew that Shen Ran had his own plans.

At night, after the family had finished their meal, Chen Yuan walked up to Shen Yan and said, "Mother, I have something to say!" With that, she pulled Shen Yan into the room where he and Shen Ran were sleeping.

Seeing Shen Ran sitting on the bedside, Shen Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, what's the point?

Seeing that both of them were seated, Chen Yuan pretended to clear his throat and said seriously: "I have inquired about Mo Zhu. I went there today and Sir Rushan told me everything about Mo Zhu. But there are some things that are not clear yet - Mo Zhu is from the capital and the legitimate son of a not-so-famous family of minor officials, so what Mo Zhu said at the beginning is indeed somewhat correct."

Chen Yuan looked at Shen Ran, "Mo Zhu's father is indeed not a good person! He deceived Mo Zhu's mother with sweet words. After marrying his mother, he began to annex his mother's natal family's belongings, and finally annexed his mother's natal family's belongings. The shop was shut down, and in the end he was still fighting with debt collectors and was beaten to death."

"When Mo Zhu's mother knew about this, she went crazy. The man used the excuse of his mistress' madness and relied on the road paved by his father-in-law to marry a lot of concubines. When Mo Zhu was four years old, He is missing. According to what he said last time and the injuries on his body, he must have been locked up by that man. As for what he did there, no one from Tingfeng Pavilion found out."

"Also, when did Mo Zhu appear in Qingshui Town, and what is the reason for appearing here, we don't know yet..."

After hearing Chen Yuan's words, Shen Yan thought for a moment and his eyes darkened slightly, "Yuanzi, I remember you said at the beginning that Mo Zhu's blood is unusual. Has anyone over there found out about this?"

Shen Yan was referring to Tingfeng Pavilion. Tingfeng Pavilion was a well-known intelligence organization in Qinglan Country and even in the entire Jiuhuang!

Hearing this, Chen Yuan blinked: "No, but his blood does have miraculous effects. I have seen him drop his blood into a bowl of water, and then pour it into a withered flowerpot. The withered flower miraculously returned to its previous vibrant appearance the next day! However, I’m not sure if he did it intentionally for me to see..."

At the end of the sentence, Chen Yuan's tone was full of doubts. After all, that day, he saw Mo Zhu smile at him, which was impossible in normal times!

Hearing this, Shen Yan looked at Shen Ran: "Do you know any official in the capital with the surname Mo?"

Chen Yuan had asked this before. Shen Ran shook his head, "I don't know. I rarely understand these things."

In the past, apart from going to school, he just watched his father boxing with his uncles, hung out in the martial arts training ground at home, and rarely even went out to attend banquets...

Shen Yan nodded clearly, thought of something, and gently rubbed his fingertips, "That man, has he been promoted or anything else in recent years?"

Hearing this, Chen Yuan also frowned, "Indeed, the official rank has been promoted by two levels. Now, it is the eighth rank... What does mother mean?"

Chen Yuan's words confirmed the thoughts that had just flashed in Shen Yan's mind, "I'm afraid this matter is not simple. There should be someone behind the scenes. Mo Zhu can escape from such a person and still go to school here. There should be someone protecting him, and he should also have a deal with his father or the person behind him. You two, be careful in the future!"

The two nodded obediently.

"By the way, if you learn martial arts from me, you will at least have the ability to protect yourself. I don't trust you now!"

"Okay!"

"Mom, you know martial arts?!" Shen Ran looked at Shen Yan with surprise on his face. The emotion in his eyes was no longer as dull as usual. Even his eyes were sparkling. Shen Ran had stayed here for so long and really didn't know that Shen Yan could do it. The main thing about Wu was that Shen Yan never showed it in front of the two children. "What? It seems that Xiao Ran really wants to learn?" Shen Yan touched Shen Ran's head teasingly.

Shen Ran blinked his eyes and nodded.

Chen Yuan saw Shen Ran suddenly getting closer to his mother. What happened before he came back?

However, Chen Yuan didn't care. He liked Shen Ran very much and didn't mind him sharing his mother's mother with him.

He walked over and hugged Shen Yan, burying his head on Shen Yan's neck, "I also want to learn, become a very powerful person, and protect my mother~"

"Good good."

Shen Yan smiled and pulled them both forward, "If you have anything to do in the future, remember to tell your mother. Don't worry about Mo Zhu's matters. Just take care of yourself in school and learn to study well! Time passes. It’s early, pack up early, go to bed quickly, I’ll wake you up to practice martial arts tomorrow morning!”

-

The next day, at a quarter of a second, Shen Yan called the two of them up.

"Mom, it's so early, I'm sleepy-" Chen Yuan came out sleepily and couldn't help but complain softly when she saw Shen Yan.

Compared to Shen Ran who was sleepy and confused, Shen Ran looked much more energetic!

"Mom, what should we start with first? Is it the squatting horse stance?" Shen Ran said, trying to demonstrate. He often saw his uncles doing this in the past.

Chen Yuan, who was rubbing his eyes, paused slightly when he heard this, and then continued to yawn as if he was not quite awake. No wonder he said how his mother and Shen Ran got closer last night. It seemed that he knew Shen Ran's identity.

"Yeah, yes, we have to start with horse walking, but first we have to run around the village twice!" Shen Yan had already planned the running route last night to ensure that he would not encounter any villagers.

"Okay!" They both agreed in unison.

Shen Yan ran with the two of them. During the running process, the pace and speed of the two were both okay at the beginning and basically the same. However, by the end, Chen Yuan was panting from exhaustion and holding her chest and gasping for air.

On the other hand, Shen Ran seemed like a fine person.

Half an hour later.

"Brother Shen Ran, how come you have such good physical strength?"

Chen Yuan put his hand on Shen Ran's shoulder and wiped the sweat from his head.

Shen Ran only had a few beads of sweat on his temples. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Maybe, maybe it's talent!"

After Shen Ran told Shen Yan his identity yesterday, he could clearly feel that he was much more cheerful than before. At least, he had more smiles on his face than before.

"Okay, now that you're done running, you guys need to take a break first, and then we'll start walking -"
