Chen Zheng was talking to a thin man at the door.
The man looked to be about forty years old, with a clean face and only the beginning of a blue stubble on his chin.
You can tell at first glance that he is someone who loves to take care of things.
Chen Xiu immediately saw several people running towards him.
He nodded to the man and walked towards Su Yun.
Chen Xiu was also acquainted with Su Yun.
Including the time with his brother and the house raid, this should be their fourth meeting.
So he didn't treat Su Yun as a child who knew nothing and asked directly.
"What's going on?"
"Hurry, Master Xiu, go to Feng Ting'er's house. I'm afraid she will be upset." Su Yun panted.
She herself didn't even notice that even the Master Xiu whom she often thought of in her mind had popped up.
"Come with me."
The person who just talked with Chen Xiu was Feng Ting'er's father, Minister Feng.
He did not question Su Yun, but led the way with his hands behind his back.
If you look closely, you can see his hands shaking in panic.
Fortunately, the Feng family is not far away.
Feng Ting'er's aunt, Mrs. Wu, knocked on the door.
"Ting'er, open the door for Auntie."
"Aunt, please go back and stop lecturing me." Feng Ting'er replied, holding back her tears.
Wu frowned, "You kid, can't your aunt say a few words to you?"
"Didn't my aunt tell you to keep this to yourself? Now that it's all over the streets, how are you going to get married in the future?"
"I have already told your father that it is not appropriate for a girl to study, but he refused to listen to me and insisted on sending you there. This has brought shame to the entire Feng family."
"You said you are already fourteen years old. If other children have already found a marriage, who would want you now?"
"Do you know how your mother mocked me? She said I couldn't even teach a daughter well, and made your father a laughing stock in the court..." Mrs. Wu leaned against the door, muttering to herself with a handkerchief in her hand.
Feng Ting'er's eyes in the room began to dim slowly.
She found a rope, threw it on the beam, and tied the knot with an expressionless face.
She stood on a stool and slowly put her head into the rope.
He pushed his feet forward without any hesitation.
At this time, Minister Feng also rushed over in a panic.
He shook Wu, "Where's Ting'er?"
"She is in the room. She became unhappy when I gave her a lecture." Mrs. Wu wiped her eyes lightly with a silk handkerchief.
[Oh no, Feng Ting'er must have done something stupid.]
Su Yun stepped forward and kicked the door.
"Whose child are you from? Why are you so rude?" Mrs. Wu asked.
Chen Xiu was waiting outside the yard, but when he heard Su Yun's voice, he didn't bother to avoid suspicion.
After he entered the yard, he kicked the door open.
"Ting'er!" Minister Feng ran in quickly and let the person down from the rope.
Wu's body tilted and she sat on the ground.
She couldn't believe it, "How could it be..."
Su Yun squeezed in and performed CPR on Feng Ting'er.
He took another deep breath and passed it into Feng Ting'er's mouth.
Mrs. Wu stood up and questioned in a shrill voice.
"what you do?"
Minister Feng saw that Su Yun was trying to rescue Wu, so he slapped her in the face.
"Cough cough~" Feng Ting'er coughed lightly and woke up, but there was no life in her eyes.
Chen Xiu said softly upon seeing this.
"Feng Ting'er, Yang Shanzhang and Zhang Zhaoyin will be executed tomorrow. Don't you want to go and see?"
Feng Ting'er slowly came back to her senses and her lips moved slightly.
"good."
Wu was beaten and took out all her anger on Feng Ting'er.
"Now that you are well, why don't you get up? What's wrong with you? Isn't your aunt treating you well enough? You are actually looking for death. Why don't you die outside? You damned girl!"
"That's enough!" Minister Feng yelled, pointing at Wu, "Get out!"
Mrs. Wu twisted her handkerchief and left with tears in her eyes.
Minister Feng carried Feng Ting'er to the bed and covered her with a quilt.
"It's not your fault, it's those people who deserve to be put to death." Minister Feng comforted awkwardly.
He wanted to touch Feng Ting'er's head, but she dodged him.
Minister Feng put down his hand and said, "Dad will leave first. You can talk to this little girl."
Chen Xiu and Minister Feng went out, leaving the space for four people.
Tian Shufen held Feng Ting'er's hand.
"Tingting, do you know? I also survived the rumors. Death is not scary. What's scary is that those bad people are still alive."
Liu Xia poured a glass of water and helped Feng Ting up.
"Have some water."
Feng Ting half-sat there, took a sip blankly, but didn't say anything.
Su Jiaojiao sat beside the bed, "Sister Ting, I know you, but you may not know me. Guess when I saw you?"
Feng Ting'er raised her head but still said nothing.
Su Jiaojiao smiled, "I saw you at the Mid-Autumn Poetry Competition. The poems you wrote were excellent, even better than those written by men."
She tentatively took Feng Ting'er's hand, and when she saw that she didn't hide, she smiled.
"I think Sister Ting's talent is no less than that of men. Maybe one day she can become a female official."
The first time the Qin State had female officials was thirty years ago, and there has not been a single female official in the past thirty years.
Feng Ting'er's eyes lit up.
If she were an official, she would never let women be treated without dignity like this.
No one can help even when being bullied.
"Thank you." Feng Ting'er's voice was a little hoarse.
She thanked everyone in the room, and when it was Su Yun's turn, she gave her a gentle hug.
Whispered.
"Thank you for saving me. From now on, I will be the new Feng Ting'er..."
Noon of the second day.
Chen Xiu took Yang Shanchang, Zhang Zhaoyin and others to South Street for execution.
This move was intended to shock the presidents and teachers of other colleges.
The academy was originally a place to train talents for the imperial court and it must not become like this.
At three quarters after noon, the executioner took a sip of wine and sprayed it on the machete.
Chen Xiu, who was sitting in the center, threw out the beheading token.
The knife raised and the head fell, it was extremely bloody.
Su Yun had her eyes covered by Liu Xia.
Feng Ting'er and Chen Sisi held hands and didn't even blink.
They laughed till tears came out when they saw this.
But malice is everywhere.
"Look, these are the two of them. I heard their innocence was tarnished."
"Tsk tsk tsk, how dare you come out? If I lose my innocence, I'll die."
"Yeah, that's shameless."
People around were pointing and talking.
Su Yun put her hands on her hips and yelled loudly.
"Just you guys have to be shameless, okay?"
"Why are you so shameless?"
"Go to hell, why don't you go? Go ahead, no one is stopping you." Su Yun was so angry that she kept talking.
Liu Xia chimed in, "People should be more careful with their words, as rumors are often the most hurtful."
The onlookers did not dare to cause trouble, because they saw these people talking to Lord Chen.
The heads were chopped off, and they dispersed after watching the fun.
Feng Ting'er and Chen Sisi felt a little warm in their hearts.
In fact, these words can no longer hurt them.
Fu Yuan replaced Wansong Academy with his people, and all the teachers were also replaced.
The new headmaster is a young man.
Jingzhao Yin also took office on the same day.
If nothing unexpected happens, Su Yun and her family will set off for Qingshan Village early tomorrow morning.
The intrigues and deceptions in the capital will have nothing to do with them.
