Chapter 254 The matter is serious
Qingyi was so calm when she heard such an important thing, it must be because she knew it in advance.
After everyone finished their meal, Chen Wan had already fallen asleep. Lu Li did not leave immediately, but held Zhenzhen in his arms, watching her curiously.
Madam Shen walked over, kissed Little Milk Bag on the face, asked Shen Mu to take good care of Little Milk Bag, and then called Shen Qingyi to leave with her.
Looking at the backs of the mother and daughter leaving, Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he instantly guessed the reason.
"Brother Lu, I have to leave for a while. Could you please help me look after my younger sister?"
He looked at Lu Li and spoke, and Lu Li's face immediately broke into a smile.
"Your Highness, please go and do what you need. I will definitely keep an eye on Miss Wan'er."
It’s really great that someone hands me a pillow when I feel sleepy.
To be honest, he really wanted to pinch the lovely Miss Xiao Wan'er, but because the prince was watching, it was not easy for him to do so directly.
Now, the prince has taken the initiative to entrust Miss Xiao Wan'er to him. How can he refuse such a good thing?
"Well, thank you, Brother Lu."
After thanking him, Chen Mu left.
After watching him walk away, Lu Li immediately withdrew his gaze and touched Shen Wan with great interest. He pinched her soft little face and touched her tender little hands, with hearts almost popping out of his eyes.
"Pah!"
Suddenly, a dry and scarred little hand patted the back of my hand.
Lu Li was slightly stunned and lowered his head, then saw Zhenzhen looking at him with dissatisfaction.
A warm place can really heal a wounded heart. Although Zhenzhen has only been in the Shen family for less than two days, she has become a little more lively. She is no longer as lifeless as before, like a walking corpse.
For example, at this moment, she felt a sense of dissatisfaction that she had never felt before.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Li asked softly, puzzled.
After a moment's silence, the little girl opened her lips and said in a hoarse voice, word by word, very awkwardly, "Don't disturb my sleep..."
After hearing this, Lu Li was stunned, his eyes widened.
After coming to his senses, he still felt incredible and asked in shock, "Why are you suddenly saying so many words?"
It has been about eight or nine days since I first saw this child.
He had been with her ever since he got her out of the business, but she hadn't said a word along the way.
After arriving at the Shen family, not counting this sentence, he only said two sentences in total, and each sentence had four words and the other had three words.
And today's sentence has one more word than all the words she has said in these days combined.
However, after hearing Lu Li's words, the little girl stopped talking again, her lips tightly pursed together, and one eye looked at him firmly.
"Why aren't you talking again? If you have something to say, just say it. You may have spoken less before, so you didn't like to talk much. But words are something that you get used to the more you talk, and the more you talk, the more you like to talk."
"If you speak more, you'll become more fluent in your speech. Besides, speaking is a way for people to communicate with each other and express themselves. If you have any ideas, just speak them out and everyone will understand."
"But if you don't say anything, and no one knows what you're thinking, how can they know what you want, what you don't want, what you like, and what you don't like?"
"So, speaking is a very important behavior in life. You have to gradually become good at expressing yourself so that you can get along better with others and gain more."
"The past is all in the past. Zhenzhen, you need to look forward and become a better person. There are many wonderful things waiting for you in the future..."
Lu Li bent down, gently touched the top of the little girl's head, and taught her patiently.
In his childhood, he also had a dark, terrible and very bad experience.
At that time, he was unwilling to communicate with others. If you ask him the reason, it was mainly because the outside world was too dangerous. He was weak and helpless, sensitive and fearful inside, and subconsciously guarded against everything.
Secondly, I am afraid of saying something I shouldn’t and getting into trouble.
Later, because he was determined to repay his lord and was eager to study, he forced himself to change slowly.
Now he is cheerful, open-minded and very talkative. He has a completely different personality from Zhenzhen, but he can still empathize with her.
Zhenzhen listened to these words very carefully, looking at him with her only eye without blinking, but still did not speak.
Lu Li was not surprised at all.
It takes time for a person to change. No one can change immediately. It cannot be rushed.
He chuckled and said, "It's okay if you don't say anything, but you must remember what I said today, understand?"
The little girl was silent for a moment, as if thinking, and then nodded solemnly to indicate that she remembered it.
Seeing this, Lu Li was very satisfied. He couldn't help but reach out and touch her head again, praising her softly.
"Yeah, that's good."

The other side~
After Madam Shen and Shen Qingyi left the hall, they walked towards the east wing.
After closing the door, Shen Qingyi was just about to explain herself when there was a knock on the door.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, then Mrs. Shen looked at the closed door, frowned and asked, "Who?"
"Mom, it's the child."
Shen Mu's clear, low and pleasant voice was heard outside.
Mrs. Shen: “…”
She walked over, opened the door, and said, "Why are you here too? Didn't I ask you to look after Xiao Wan'er?"
Chen Mu smiled and said, "I came here because I wanted to listen to my mother talking to Qingyi."
"As for my little sister, I've entrusted her to Big Brother Lu for the time being. Cang Yan and the secret guards are keeping an eye on her. Nothing will happen to her, please rest assured, mother."
"Okay," Mrs. Shen made way and said, "Come in."
Chen Mu walked in and the door was closed again.
Two pairs of eyes looked at Shen Qingyi at the same time. Although no one said anything, Shen Qingyi understood what they meant and quickly spoke out tactfully.
"Mom, Su Haitang's mission has indeed been updated. However, I didn't mention the specific content of this mission, so I don't know much."
"I only heard from my younger sister that there are several missions going on simultaneously..."
“Besides, it’s related to the emperor, Shen Yaoxing, and Lu Jinghuai, which is very serious for us.”
"Because the consequences of this mission are too serious, I'm worried that we can't handle it, so I plan to tell Chen Yaoxing about this mission in my dream."
"So, if mother wants to know more, she can only wait until after tonight and ask Chen Yaoxing."
After hearing these words, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but feel nervous.
"How could this happen? There was clearly only one mission before, so why are there multiple missions going on at the same time this time? Could it be because of Su Haitang's last mission?"
"Alas, even Xiao Wan'er thinks this is serious. It seems that this time there will be really big trouble. What should we do?"
