Chapter 216: Xiao Anzi is so gentle towards the girls
Despite what Qin Huaishu said, Chu Yian's brows were still tightly furrowed.
He was more optimistic.
Everyone knows that the person above is the one who values his reputation the most and values his reputation more than anything else.
If all the scholars in the world began to criticize her and the Qin Empire, it would be difficult for that person to stand on their side.
If it were just this, it would be fine, but I’m afraid the Qin family will also be implicated.
Chu Yian leaned back in his chair and scratched his head. Things were getting more and more annoying.
Taking a deep breath, she said, "Forget it. Let's just do our own thing first. When the time comes, we'll deal with it with our own strength."
"The worst that can happen is that I won't write a book."
It's so hard to say this.
Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "If you don't write it, they will scold you."
"This is really annoying. If this book is really banned, the students won't dare to say anything in the short term due to the authority of those great scholars."
"But after a while they will certainly complain about those great scholars who have nothing better to do but meddle in other people's affairs."
You should know that someone in the court had already proposed to list The Great Qin Empire as a banned book.
Why didn't the emperor ban it? Wasn't one of the reasons because he was afraid that those students would cause trouble for him?
If the emperor didn't ban the book, the great scholars would certainly think twice before banning it.
It would be fine if it was banned earlier. The book has already had an impact and has become a legend in the hearts of many people. Banning it now would be a huge offense to the world.
It will inevitably have an impact on their reputation.
But it’s useless to say more now because it hasn’t happened yet.
Chu Yian patted his face and looked at Qin Huaishu: "Brother, Qin Sheng is about to leave. If there is any more movement outside, you must tell me in time."
Qin Huaishu nodded.
Chu Yian stood up and sighed, "While the book hasn't been banned yet, let's try to write more."
"Alas, I haven't even written about my charming ancestor yet. I hope these people don't cause me any trouble."
Qin Sheng was stunned: "Charming ancestor? How charming?"
Speaking of Chu Yian, my mood immediately improved. Although I don’t want to give away any spoilers, it’s okay to mention it briefly.
Just as I was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.
Chu Yian looked at the closed door, and a voice came from outside.
"Madam Third Young Master, this is Qin Er."
Qin Er?
Didn’t he go to follow Zheng Xiu?
Chu Yian frowned instantly, strode to the door and opened it.
Qin Er was covered in black clothes and stood at the door, making way for someone.
In the yard, Zheng Xiu, dressed in tattered clothes, stood there uneasily, looking at her warily.
Chu Yian looked at Qin Er and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
How did you bring the person back directly?
Isn't it enough to just ask him to watch his whereabouts?
Qin Sheng also walked out and was slightly stunned when he saw the little girl in the yard.
Qin Er lowered his head and explained, "Madam, I was just watching her and didn't interfere with her whereabouts."
"But she was caught not long after she ran away."
"Her parents took her out of town and feared she would run away again, so they wanted to kill her and bring her body back."
"I had no choice but to do this. Please punish me, Madam."
Hearing him say this, Chu Yian's heart trembled and he subconsciously looked at Zheng Xiu.
The biological parents could actually do this for those five taels of silver.
Not only did he arrange a ghost marriage for his daughter, but he was also afraid that she would run away and wanted to kill her directly.
Chu Yian opened his mouth, his voice extremely dry: "I know, you go down first, you have worked hard."
Qin Er clasped his fists and quickly disappeared from Chu Yian's sight.
Chu Yian looked at Zheng Xiu in the yard again. Zheng Xiu also looked at her and clenched her fists.
Chu Yian stepped forward, and she immediately took several steps back like a frightened puppy, her face full of fear and her eyes filled with despair.
Chu Yian hurriedly forced a gentle smile and pushed Qin Sheng: "Go back to the house first, don't scare her."
Qin Sheng: ...
Qin Sheng nodded, went back obediently, and closed the door.
Chu Yian looked at Zheng Xiu again, took a few steps forward, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
"If I wanted to harm you, my people wouldn't have to rescue you when you were in danger."
Zheng Xiuxin trembled, obviously thinking of that. She raised her foot and suddenly rushed towards Chu Yian.
Chu Yian was startled and was a little afraid that this person would do something extreme.
When she is stimulated, she may do anything.
Just as she was about to move aside, Zheng Xiu suddenly pounced in front of her, knelt down, and kowtowed three times.
"Please, please, Madam, save me. I, I know you are a kind person. Please, Madam, save me."
Chu Yian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly helped the man up: "Don't worry, calm down first."
Zheng Xiu couldn't calm down at all. The urgent living environment and her parents' murderous intentions made her in a state of high mental tension all the time during this period.
It's on the verge of collapse.
Her face was covered with tears, which made Chu Yian feel anxious.
Taking a deep breath and patting her hand, Chu Yian put on a kind and gentle smile and said, "No one here wants your life, and no one will make things difficult for you. Go and rest for a while, okay?"
Zheng Xiu grasped her hand tightly with her backhand, leaving a circle of purple marks on her hand, and her nails almost dug into her flesh.
She shook her head vigorously, her whole body trembling: "I, I don't need it, please, madam..."
Chu Yian gasped in pain and tried to pull his hand back, but couldn't.
I could only interrupt her quickly and continue to comfort her: "Be obedient, go take a shower and rest first."
"Don't think too much about it now. It's not too late to think about it after you have rested well."
Perhaps it was her husband attribute that came into play, or perhaps it was because her tone was too gentle, which made Zheng Xiu feel a peace and kindness from her that she had never felt before.
She loosened her grip on Chu Yian's hand little by little.
The pain in his hand subsided, Chu Yian's eyes softened a little, and he tucked Zheng Xiu's messy hair behind her ear.
His tone became gentler: "Be good, go and rest for a while, wake up and eat something, then we can talk again, okay?"
Zheng Xiu looked at her, staring into her eyes, as if confirming something.
It was not until a long time later that she nodded gently, and a line of tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes.
Chu Yian pursed his lips, wiped the tears from her face, and regardless of the mess on her body, he hugged her in his arms, patted Zheng Xiu's back and comforted her: "It's all over, it's okay."
"No one will want to kill you anymore, and you won't have to live in fear and hiding anymore."
After all, Zheng Xiu was just a little girl in her early ten years old. She had never been treated well since she was born. Suddenly, she was treated so gently that her tears immediately fell like a flood.
It all seemed like a dream, giving her an extremely unreal feeling.
It seemed that in just a blink of an eye, Chu Yian would disappear, and she would return to the home that wished her dead.
All this is like a dream bubble that will burst at the slightest touch.
Zheng Xiu really wanted to hug her tightly to confirm whether all this was real or an illusion.
But thinking of how dirty she was, she quickly withdrew from Chu Yian's arms, choking with sobs and saying, "Thank you, Madam... Thank you, Madam..."
Looking up at Chu Yian, Zheng Xiu's eyes were red.
She hasn't disappeared... She's still here...
Chu Yian pursed his lips. Zheng Xiu's eyes were full of red bloodshot, her face was sallow, and her lips were pale. It seemed that she hadn't had a good rest or eaten for a long time.
He waved his hand and a maid came in immediately.
"Take her down and let her have a good rest. Don't be careless."
The maid quickly agreed and made a gesture of invitation to Zheng Xiu.
Zheng Xiu tensed up again. She looked at the maid, then at Chu Yian, with fear in her eyes.
Chu Yian smiled and comforted him: "Go, it's okay."
Zheng Xiu pursed her lips, lowered her head, and nodded softly. After hesitating for a moment, she followed the maid.
Looking at the two people's backs as they walked away, Chu Yian sighed deeply.
A voice came from behind: "Xiao Anzi is as gentle as ever when it comes to treating the girls."
Chu Yian: ...
Chu Yian turned around and glared at Qin Sheng: "Are you sick?"
Qin Sheng: ...
