Chapter 15 Schadenfreude

Chapter 15 Schadenfreude
On the second day, Grandma Sun arrived at Chu Liangrao's room on time to report. Chu Liangrao was very troubled by the grandmother's eyeliner.

The two hours of learning etiquette every day made her feel like a painful military training. Instructor Sun, oh no, Nanny Sun has the old lady as her backing, and she will never let out any water when it is time to be strict. This is a pain for Chu Liang raucous.Back then, she could walk on the catwalk in high heels that were more than ten centimeters high, but now she has a sore neck just by holding three books on her head.

Originally, the learning process was not fun, and facing a grandma who was so serious that her nasolabial folds were squeezed into a big rift, Chu Liangrao felt tired within two days.There was a little temper tantrum, but Mama Du couldn't persuade her no matter how hard she tried. Seeing that the princess was the same as before, and the people in the room couldn't see anything different, she felt that the old lady's guess might not be accurate.

Chu Liangrao went on strike for one day, and the next day Nanny Sun wanted to make a cutscene, but seeing Chu Liangrao practicing with the book against her head, her heart, which was always as hard as iron, was touched.Afterwards, the study time remained the same, but Chu Liangrao obviously felt a lot more relaxed. Although Nanny Sun still smiled like a sculpture, she was obviously not as strict as before.

During this period, Chu Chaoyang also visited her a few times, and every time he saw her practiced eyes, there was a little bit of... gloating, that's right, gloating.Chu Liangrao was speechless and choked on this, former master, how wicked are you to let your own father behave like this.And dear dad, it's too wretched for you to show such a handsome guy, okay?

Of course, there is still good news, that is, not only Chu Liangrao thinks, but also the maids in the room think that she seems to have lost weight.Chu Liangrao consciously dropped the word "it seems" and was very happy. Looking at Sun Nanny's iceberg face, she also thought it was a bit cute.

It's just because Chu Liangrao knows that it's not easy to lose weight visible to the naked eye, but it's a pity that there are no electronic scales in this era, and there is no other way except for the naked eye and a tape measure.

Because of Chu Liangrao's correct attitude and rapid progress, Nanny Sun felt that she could report her results, so she decided to report to the old lady.Chu Liangrao knew that she was going to finish her work, so she asked Ding Lan to go with her. After all, Ding Lan was the old man in the room, and she was cautious, so she would not be tricked into saying anything.

After seeing off Nanny Sun, Chu Liangrao called Zhen'er in, and taking advantage of the absence of Nanny Sun's eyeliner, Zhen'er told Chu Liangrao all the information she had inquired over the past few days.

If you don't listen, you don't know. Chu Liangrao was startled when he heard that, so many things happened outside the yard.Fortunately, the mansion has always been peaceful, which shows that the old manual security system is still effective.

It included the whereabouts of Xianghe and Xiangju. It turned out that after the two went to Zhuangzi, Xianghe's illness became more and more serious day by day.Xu Xiangju felt that Xianghe was dragging her down, so she murdered her helpless sister, and Xianghe died in the end.Xiangju got involved in a life lawsuit, so naturally she wouldn't foolishly wait for someone to arrest her and bring her to justice, so she ran away with Xianghe and her own money on the same day. in the drum.

As for Xiangju, it didn't end well either. She was a woman, and she had property on her body, so she was a fat sheep wherever she went.It didn't take long before someone discovered Xiangju's body, which was said to have been made by refugees, and Xiangju didn't seem to be able to keep her innocence. Compared with Xianghe's happy death, Xiangju's fate was a bit horrible.

As to why there are refugees is another matter.

Chu Liangrao was overwhelmed by this incident before she had time to sigh with emotion. She looked at Zhen'er and said, "What did you say? Say it again."

Zhen'er didn't believe it when she first heard it, so she said it again.

Because this matter was related to Chu Chaoyang's business trip, Zhen'er inquired about it with Ding Er, a servant who worked beside Chu Chaoyang, so it could be seen that the matter was somewhat believable.It's just that the matter is too serious, Chu Liangrao felt a little uneasy, and said, "Why did Ding Er tell you the matter so easily?"

"Princess, you don't know. Now this matter has spread, and now the whole Pingyang County is buzzing."

Chu Liangrao took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and digested the news carefully.

To the north of Pingyuan County is Laizhou. Due to the continuous drought, disasters have already formed. Instead of reporting the disaster to the court immediately, the officials and officials guarded the people in the city to prevent the news from spreading.It has been nearly 20 years since the founding of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and it is a good time to recuperate. It is not impossible for these officials to do this kind of thing in order to protect themselves, and Chu Chaoyang is here to find out the truth.

Driven by hunger, the victims finally ran away, and the refugees began to disperse.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leading official ran away, but he was caught alive the next day and cooked into the stomachs of the refugees.Although Chu Liangrao felt that this person was not a joke, but this way of death is really... a bit serious. Compared with Xianghe and Xiangju, Chu Liangrao thought of a sentence: Sure enough, there is no worst, only worse.

Now that the refugees have arrived in Pingyuan County, Chu Chaoyang is still as calm as before. How can he be annoyed by government affairs?It was also because Chu Chaoyang's disguise was so good that he created a peaceful and prosperous look in the mansion, which made Chu Liangrao realize the seriousness of the situation now.

I'm afraid that Mrs. Gu and the old lady will know this on the day Chu Chaoyang returns to the mansion. Chu Liangrao feels more and more that his news is behind. It is a drought.Chu Liangrao can fully understand how terrible the drought is in this era of underdeveloped transportation and no artificial rainfall.

What worries her even more is that there has been no rain in Pingyuan County for a long time now, and the careful mother-in-law in the mansion has also found that the well water is much less than before, and there are signs that this drought is still spreading.

After explaining everything she knew, Zhen'er asked, "Princess, will there be drought in our place?"

Chu Liangrao, who was still in deep thought, raised her head when she heard the words, Zhen'er's eyes were full of fear, and she felt very uncomfortable.Indeed, such a cruel situation was something she couldn't accept, let alone Zhen'er who was originally innocent.It seems that she should give Zhen'er some psychological counseling first, so that these children will not be frightened by the fear of the unknown.

Thinking about it, Chu Liangrao said, "Zhen'er, go and call everyone in."

After a while, Mother Du and the three maidservants entered the room, and Chu Liangrao ordered again: "Go and call Ma Si's family over."

Mother Du felt that Chu Liangrao seemed a little different today, but she couldn't tell.

Zhu'er went to call the family of Ma Si's family. After the Si family of Ma saluted, she stood up and waited for orders with her hands down.
