Chapter 13: The Abandoned Zhu Mingqing

As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.

grass!

He must be out of his mind.

Isn't this woman always like this? It's not the first time he has seen her.

So he looked up at the sky and pretended that he had said nothing.

Such a sad tone startled Zhu Mingqing for a second.

This child always looks unruly and unruly. Could it be that he was really hit hard today?

That’s not right. In my memory, the third brother always caused trouble every now and then.

Otherwise I feel uncomfortable!

Zhu Mingqing was actually a little tired. She wanted to go back to the space to relax, eat some delicious food, and chat with the little world spirit. Wouldn’t that be more refreshing than dealing with these troublesome things?

But looking at these three children, some are injured, some are crying, and one seems to have suffered psychological damage.

Zhu Mingqing frowned: "Okay, someone tell me what's going on."

No one spoke.

All that could be heard was Luo Fu's slight sobbing.

Zhu Mingqing sneered, "Don't tell me? Then I'll leave. If you fight again, remember to find a place where there's no one."

Still no one spoke, but Luo Xiao clenched his hands tighter in his sleeves.

Zhu Mingqing didn't tolerate them either. He just turned around and took a step forward when suddenly—

"Wow……"

Luo Fu burst into tears, spitting out blood and a tooth.

Her voice was shrill, and her nose and tears were flowing, as if she was crying out all the grievances she had suffered during this period.

Coupled with the swollen face and the blood on the lips, he looked extremely pitiful.

"Little sister." Luo Xiao was the first to move, and quickly peeled open her mouth, "Let me see where you are hurt."

Luo Fu choked with sobs: "My mouth hurts..."

Luo Xiao was so anxious that he wanted to run out and find a doctor immediately.

The thin boy who was lying on the ground seemed to have relieved his pain and stood up with difficulty.

"Luo Tian." Luo Fu saw him, hugged his shoulders and cried even louder.

Luo Tian was hit so hard that he covered his chest and coughed twice. "Xiao Fu, Third Brother, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I got you into trouble."

"I don't blame... you..." Luo Fu cried, shook her head, and burped.

Luo Xiao also gritted his teeth and said, "When I find a chance, I will definitely beat him back. Little sister, I'll take you to see a doctor first."

Zhu Mingqing stood aside and sighed helplessly when he saw the sad looks of these three people.

It should be the replacement of teeth, not a broken arm or leg, so it's not a big deal.

"Okay, stop crying and come with me to find Pink Peach."

The noise was so loud that it was unbearable. Finally, Zhu Mingqing showed mercy and took the three people away.

…

Fortunately, Fen Tao brought a lot of medicine in advance, and Zhu Mingqing also bought some today.

It's enough to treat the injuries of these three people.

An hour later, their injuries were healed.

Zhu Mingqing then looked at the boy standing in the corner: "Luo Tian, ​​right?"

The boy looked to be about ten years old. He was dirty, his hair was tangled, and his eyes were dull. It was obvious that he had had a very difficult life in the past two days.

He nodded slightly and immediately stood up straight: "Aunt, it's me."

Fen Tao knew that her wife didn't care about the people in Prince Luo's Mansion, let alone recognize them.

She whispered, "This is the prince's younger brother, the second master's grandson. The couple who were killed by wolves last night were his parents."

Zhu Mingqing immediately understood, and looked at Luo Tian with a look that was mixed with an indescribable emotion, like pity but fleeting.

She asked, "Tell me, what happened today?"

Luo Tian wiped his cheek and looked at Zhu Mingqing with his dark eyes, not knowing whether he was examining or sizing him up.

Zhu Mingqing curled the corner of his mouth. This kid is quite cautious.

She said, "If you are right, I will definitely not punish you!"

Luo Tian finally explained the whole story: "I went to the kitchen to find something to eat, and a kind official gave me a steamed bun. Later, I ran into Luo Wei and his men. They wrongly accused me of stealing and wanted to beat me up. Luckily, Third Brother and Xiao Fu showed up..."

He stretched out his hand from his sleeve, and on it was a dirty and hard steamed bun, so flat that it was no longer recognizable.

But he still held it in his hands like a treasure.

Zhu Mingqing pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking about, and kept staring at Luo Tian.

There was a heavy atmosphere in the air, and everyone seemed to only hear their own pounding heartbeats.

Even Luo Xiao, who was always shouting, felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Why is this woman not saying anything? Does she not believe what Xiaotian said?

"Aunt, I didn't lie. They really wronged me, and if it weren't for Third Brother and Xiao Fu, I would have been beaten to death by them."

Luo Tian hurriedly explained, wishing he could perform on the spot. He still remembered Luo Wei's red eyes at that time.

Although Luo Wei often picked on him in the past, there had never been a moment when he felt so close to death.

Zhu Mingqing came back to her senses. Seeing his eagerness to explain, she felt like she was seeing her younger self. She said, "I believe you."

Luo Tian was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Auntie believes me?"

Zhu Mingqing nodded slightly: "Why don't you believe it?"

She also understood the feeling of being wrongly accused even though she hadn't stolen anything.

In her previous life, she was adopted twice, but was eventually abandoned by her adoptive parents.

The first time was when she was three years old. She really wanted to integrate into the new family, but she was sent back to the orphanage in less than half a year.

Because the couple's son wrongly accused her of stealing food, the couple sent her away without asking any questions.

Although she was very hungry, she knew not to steal.

Moreover, it was clearly their son who stole the box of cookies.

The second time was when I was five years old. My adoptive parents were a middle-aged couple without children.

As luck would have it, a year later they became pregnant and had a daughter, so they began to be wary of her.

She also heard relatives advising them to send her away so that she would not rob their biological daughter's property in the future.

She had still held out a glimmer of hope, after all, they really loved her, and she liked them too.

But……

People always change.

She was eventually sent away.

Or because he was wrongly accused of stealing things from home, and even worse, he was labeled a habitual liar!

She tried to explain in various ways, but no one listened. Even the director's mother thought she had become a bad person.

So she just stopped talking about it later.

Why bother? For people who don’t care about you, they will be annoyed by anything you say to them.

Moreover, if someone offered to adopt her again in the future, she would simply refuse.

She didn't want a life where her fate was in the hands of others and she could be abandoned at any time.

So, she lived in the orphanage until she was admitted to the military academy.

Thinking about the past, Zhu Mingqing took a deep breath. It was all in the past. Now she met a child with similar experiences as herself. She wanted to tell him that people should not fall into self-proof.

"Aunt, thank you!" Luo Tian wiped away his tears and looked at her with gratitude in his red eyes.

Zhu Mingqing smiled faintly and took out a bun from the side. "You've been hungry all day, have some."

Luo Tian took it and took a big bite. His mouth was bulging, and he didn't forget to comment, "It smells so good."

When Zhu Mingqing watched him eat, an image of a skinny little girl snatching food from a group of older children emerged in his mind.

Her eyes became gentler, and she handed him a glass of water. "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Seeing this, Luo Xiao curled his lips in displeasure. He had never seen her so gentle to them before. This woman really didn't like them.

The atmosphere inside the house was harmonious, but outside a group of people were walking towards them aggressively.

Fen Tao hurried into the house: "Madam, the old princess and the second master and second wife are bringing people over."

As soon as the voice fell, the old princess's angry voice came from outside: "Zhu, come out!"
