Chapter 61 He is generous and doesn't care about this little kid
She was forced to wear this emerald coat to have dinner with Lin Zhi, and then went to Shen Xiao's room.
She originally thought that Shen Xiao's injuries would be better after a night's rest, but when she actually saw him... she felt inexplicably as if his wounds were getting more and more serious?
Obviously yesterday I only had a bruised nose and swollen face, but why is my forehead bruised today? My lips are bleeding?
She was startled by Shen Xiao, and hurriedly went forward to check his wounds and went to find the medicine box to bandage him, "Xiao'er, what happened to you last night?"
When Shen Xiao saw his sister busy with him, he suddenly thought of how Lin Zhi was showing off to him in the carriage yesterday, so while Shen Shu was looking for the medicine box, he raised his eyebrows provocatively at Lin Zhi.
But if Lin Zhi saw him being so provocative yesterday, he would definitely be unhappy, but today...
He recalled the way Shen Shu leaned forward firmly despite being trembling last night, and the gentleness with which she stroked the thin calluses on his hands, and finally just let out a "tsk".
He is too generous to argue with this little brat.
Shen Shu quickly found the medicine box and brought back a basin of water. She was about to wipe it with Shen Xiao but stopped. After thinking for a moment, she went to change the basin of hot water and came back.
She first cleaned his wound, and then applied medicine to him. Her movements were so light and gentle that Shen Xiao felt that the sister from before was back.
He thought that Lin Zhi would be at least a little angry this time, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't respond at all, and even reached out to help Shen Shu pass the medicine.
This makes him even more depressed than his sister not being nice to him!
Until Shen Shu treated all Shen Xiao's wounds, Shen Xiao couldn't figure out why Lin Zhi wasn't angry at all?
After Shen Shu gave Shen Xiao medicine, she asked, "Have you eaten?"
Shen Xiao nodded.
Shen Shu asked tentatively, "Then I will take you back to Jingninghou Mansion?"
Shen Xiao nodded quickly again.
Lin Zhi, who was standing aside, laughed again.
This kid can't help but be beaten.
Shen Xiao originally had the intention of continuing to stay in the palace to accompany his sister, but after being beaten by Changfeng all night last night, this idea disappeared.
The Wang Mansion is too scary, he wants to go back to the Marquis Mansion!
Shen Shu didn't try to stop him. She went to have a carriage prepared and was going to take Shen Xiao back. However, as soon as she got on the carriage, Lin Zhi also squeezed in.
Shen Shu originally wanted to talk to Shen Xiaoduo, but now she has no way to do so.
Lin Zhi was obviously in a good mood today. He let Shen Shu lean on his arms and repeatedly groped for the patterns on Shen Shu's ugly clothes.
The carriage was so big that Shen Xiao could almost see his sister and Lin Zhi leaning against each other as soon as he opened his eyes.
He was depressed for a moment, so he could only open the carriage curtain to see the scenery outside, but suddenly he saw a place selling his sister's favorite pastries outside, so he quickly shouted, "Stop!"
But the carriage would not stop without Lin Zhi's order. Shen Xiao shouted to Lin Zhi again, "Hey, stop the car!"
Lin Zhi kept stroking the patterns on Shen Shu's clothes. He was in a good mood today and raised his eyes to tease this little brat, so he deliberately asked, "What should you call me?"
Shen Xiao knew that he did it on purpose. He told himself in his heart that a man can bend and stretch, "Your Majesty!"
"That's not right." Lin Zhi looked at his eager look, but didn't intend to stop him.
Shen Shu realized what he was going to do, so she raised her hand and tugged on his clothes to signal him not to bully the child.
It's just that Lin Zhi has a bad nature and doesn't intend to listen to Shen Shu. He just continues to look at Shen Xiao.
Shen Xiao felt more and more aggrieved. Finally, in order to give his sister her favorite pastry, she gritted her teeth and said, "Brother-in-law!"
Lin Zhi was then satisfied and asked the driver to stop the car. Shen Xiao rushed off almost instantly.
After Shen Xiao left, Shen Shu stood up and looked at Lin Zhi angrily, "How old are you, yet you still bully a child? You clearly know his little thoughts..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. She knew that Shen Xiao liked not her but the original owner, but the original owner had disappeared and she couldn't tell him...
Lin Zhi didn't feel like he was bullying the kid, he didn't even let the kid call him uncle.
But sensing Shen Shu's unhappiness, he raised his hand to comfort her, "Okay."
"I won't bully him anymore."
Shen Shu was a little satisfied now. Shen Xiao came back soon. He handed the peach blossom cake to Shen Shu and looked at her expectantly.
Shen Shu remembered that this was the original owner's favorite pastry, so she took it with a smile and touched Shen Xiao's head, "Thank you, Xiao'er."
A huge smile immediately broke out on Shen Xiao's face, and he was very happy until the carriage drove to the Hou Mansion.
Gee, this makes me happy for so long.
Lin Zhi looked at Shen Xiao's happy look and couldn't help but start to reflect. Compared with Shen Xiao, was he too difficult to coax and too moody?
Shen Shu had already sent a letter to the Hou Mansion last night, so Jing Ning Hou came out quickly. He went to receive Lin Zhi, while Shen Xiao ran to practice swordsmanship in his courtyard.
When Shen Shu saw Jing Ninghou, she frowned and said, "Xiao'er seems to have been bullied by the officials' children recently."
Jing Ninghou sighed, "Yes, it's just that those people all have prominent family backgrounds, and I'm worried too."
Shen Shu couldn't bear to see her younger brother being bullied. Shen Xiao was not in a good mood to begin with. Recently, there were a lot of things going on in the Hou family, and he was bullied every day. For a long time, it was hard to guarantee that he would suffer from depression or bipolar disorder, or that he was about to suffer from it now.
She always felt that the child had a knot in his mind, and she wanted to find an opportunity to hypnotize him, but she couldn't find the opportunity for a while.
"Father, please pay more attention to Xiao'er recently. As for the matter of him being bullied, I will solve it for him."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Lin Zhi sneer. She looked towards Lin Zhi and saw him stroking the steaming tea cup in his hand, "What can be solved?"
"As long as he is strong, who can bully him?"
"What the prince said makes sense, but Xiao'er is only twelve years old. Under such a heavy pressure, there is no guarantee that he will not have mental problems." Shen Shu frowned.
Moreover, Shen Shu always likes to solve problems by herself and does not like to leave the pressure to children. She never expects anything from Shen Xiao. This is also the biggest difference between her and the original owner.
"He is the child of Marquis Jingning, so that is the pressure he should bear." After Lin Zhi said this, he looked at Marquis Jingning with a hint of meaning.
Lin Zhi's glance made Jing Ninghou's breath suffocate. He felt that the other party knew something.
However, when Lin Zhi saw that he did not answer, he asked again, "Is this king right? Lord Marquis?"
"Yes! Your Majesty is right!" He felt beads of sweat dripping from his brow, but he did not dare to raise his hand to wipe it.
Lin Zhi laughed again, and then looked at Shen Shu with some excitement, "Aluo, the Marquis also agrees with my views."
Shen Shu was not stupid. She clearly felt the undercurrent between Lin Zhi and her father. There must be some secret between these two men that she didn't know.
She suppressed her thoughts and just said "hmm".
The atmosphere became a little strange for a moment. Shen Shu thought for a moment and asked Jing Ninghou, "Does father have any clues about Lu Jiaojiao?"
Jing Ninghou was a little excited when he mentioned this, "I have some clues about Lu Jiaojiao. She is indeed not dead, and she seems to be in the capital. But I searched for a while and couldn't find her anywhere."
"It seems to have been hidden intentionally..."
After hearing this, Lin Zhi on the side raised his hand leisurely to drink the water in his tea cup. Shen Shu couldn't help but frown.
So there are other forces behind Lu Jiaojiao?
She began to regret that she had not asked the patient carefully about the details of the novel. Isn't this a simple and mindless sadistic novel? Why are there so many Machiavellian plots?
