Chapter 163
As soon as Xiao Yue entered, she discovered that Tang Tang was able to get out of bed by herself and was playing some school-produced games...
As soon as Xiao Yue entered, he discovered that Tang Tang could actually get out of bed by himself and was playing with some educational toys produced by the school.
"Tang Tang!"
While Xiao Yue called her, he took out various things he had brought, including food, drinks, toys, and a small plush scarf.
"Thank you, sister!" Tang Tang was pleasantly surprised and took it happily with her little face flushed.
She had only been here a few days, but she had already gained some weight on her face and body, making her look less sickly, but she was still too thin.
Xiao Yue told her to eat well so that her body would recover faster, and then added: "...but don't eat too much at once, the body needs to be nurtured slowly, Tangtang just listen to Doctor Ye's advice."
"Okay!" Tang Tang agreed seriously, and noticed the person at the door with his sharp eyes: "Brother Fu, you are here too, are you here with Sister Xiaoyue?"
Fu Xunzhou nodded.
Duan Lin and Doctor Ye followed behind him. Doctor Ye was holding a bowl of steaming brown-black medicine in his hand. Just looking at it made one feel like his tongue was being attacked.
Xiao Yue had never seen Tang Tang take medicine, and thought that children are generally afraid of bitterness, so it might take a while for the medicine to be taken.
How to persuade...
"Uncle Ye, I'm here!"
As soon as Tang Tang saw Doctor Ye, he ran over, obediently took the medicine at the right temperature, and gulped it down.
The smell of medicine wafted through the air, and it was worse than one would have imagined. Anyone with a good nose would know that it definitely didn't taste good.
But Xiao Yue just looked at Tang Tang and drank it up smoothly.
Xiao Yue: “…”
ah?
Xiao Yue was grinning at what he saw and looked at Fu Xunzhou in disbelief.
After a while, Doctor Ye sighed, took back the empty bowl, and said, "How nice of you! It would be better if you didn't call me uncle."
They are clearly called Fu Xunzhou and Xiao Yue, a brother and a sister, so why is he the uncle?
Start from the first day you meet!
“But…” Tang Tang scratched his head in confusion: “Uncle Ye is not my brother, Uncle Ye is a doctor, and a doctor is an uncle. Uncle is very powerful!”
Doctor Ye was almost confused. He patted her head and said, "Okay, you have been out of bed for long enough today. After taking the medicine, you should go to bed and rest in a while. You can play later."
Tang Tang nodded and happily took the gadgets on the table to play with Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue was naturally happy to accompany him. He glanced at Doctor Ye's sad back as he left, and at the same time he couldn't help laughing, he felt deeply moved.
The medicine must be bitter, but Tang Tang knew that she was sick, so she would not cry or make a fuss no matter how unpalatable the medicine was.
Because she also wants to get better soon, have a healthy body, and repay her grandmother and her benefactor.
Xiao Yue was so soft-hearted that she played with Tang Tang until he went to bed, and then she left the room and walked into the yard.
There was a faint aroma of rice flour in the air.
Each courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion is equipped with a kitchen. Grandma Tang went to make pancakes just now, and they are now ready. She gave one to everyone.
The pancake looked golden and hot, but a little dry.
But it was a token of thoughtfulness, so Xiao Yue took it with a smile. Before eating, she remembered something and glanced at Fu Xunzhou.
She was just about to lean over and whisper something when the other person took a bite without changing his expression, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Only then did Xiao Yue feel relieved.
Grandma Tang didn't know this and was chatting happily while eating.
Although she was in a happy mood, what she said shocked several people present.
It turns out that Tang Tang is not Grandma Tang’s biological granddaughter, but was picked up on the street!
In the past, when Dachen Kingdom had not yet stabilized and become the strongest country, Tang Xiuli was a refugee who wandered here. Later, because of a leg injury, she was abandoned by her two children and had nowhere to go.
Fortunately, things got better later on, and Liuyun City gradually developed. Although the previous city lords did not accomplish much, they did not dare to disobey the imperial edict.
Tang Xiuli's house was allocated by the City Lord's Mansion, and she was given silver every month. Although it would sometimes be swallowed up by the people who distributed it, she also saved it slowly.
Later, Tang Xiuli saw a small, silent baby girl in a ravine outside the city...
Xiao Yue was shocked when she heard this, but looking at the gentle look in Grandma Tang's eyes, she knew that she no longer regarded this as grief, but as something she could talk about casually.
A woman goes through all kinds of things in her life. When she gets old, some people will reminisce about their youth, while others will just treat it as a passing cloud.
Regardless, these are real things that happened.
Xiao Yue believes that it is understandable to face it with any emotion, but bystanders may have a different feeling.
She is now the "bystander."
In the small corner, Xiao Yue said softly after Grandma Tang finished speaking: “You should be admired, but at the same time, I hope you will be better to yourself in the future.”
It’s okay to give selflessly, but you also have to be selfless to yourself.
Until it was getting dark, Xiao Yue said goodbye and left the City Lord's Mansion, with Grandma Tang's relaxed laughter filling his mind.
Fu Xunzhou could see what she was thinking and whispered, "All kinds of things happen in this world. There are Grandma Tang who selflessly rescues baby girls, and there are people who turn a blind eye. Some even pick up babies and raise them halfway before abandoning them again... I can't judge, but as long as I do my best and don't regret it, that's fine."
"You've helped a lot of people, haven't you? Including me. Do you regret it?"
Xiao Yue shook his head.
"Isn't that it?" Fu Xunzhou chuckled: "Doing what you want to do is also a way to please yourself."
She felt sorry for Grandma Tang, but how could she know that Grandma Tang was enjoying it?
Xiao Yue seemed to be thinking about something, and as he thought about it, his mood improved.
Unfortunately, this good mood did not last long.
The next day, when Xiao Yue was cooking dinner at the home-style restaurant, there was a knock on the back door.
It was just closing time, and everyone had made an appointment to have dinner here today, so people would arrive one after another.
But who is knocking on the door so loudly?
Xiao Yue was too busy, so he asked Su Xiaoxiao to open the door, but there was no sound for a long time.
Not only was she confused, but when she took the time to look up, she almost dropped the food in her hands out of shock.
"Sister Sanhong?"
No, Fang Sanhong has the key to the store, so why would she knock on the door?
Xiao Yue's heart skipped a beat and he thought of two words: It's over.
This is not about not using the key, it's about deterrence.
The person who came was Fang Sanhong. She stood in the yard and stared at Xiao Yue for a long time. Only then did she walk over with a gloomy face.
"It's been almost seven days and I just found out about that?"
really.
Xiao Yue swallowed his saliva, dropped the food in his hand, and knelt on the spot: "I was wrong, I thought nothing was dangerous, it was snowing and the road was slippery, I told you that you must have been overnight..."
"I'm not coming over now?" Fang Sanhong interrupted her with a sneer.
People in the yard gathered around, but no one dared to say a word.
Only Xiao Lian on the periphery pulled Xu Qingwu, the two blinked at each other, and stepped aside.
"Sister Sanhong." At this time, Fu Xunzhou stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, this is my problem. I am also responsible. It was me who failed to protect Xiaoyue."
It was the first time for Duan Lin, Lu Ran and others to see him being so humble.
But looking at Fang Sanhong when she was angry was indeed a bit scary.
She just gave Fu Xunzhou an ambiguous "huh" and without making any comment, she went forward to check Xiao Yue's body.
Xiao Yue stood still obediently, raised her hands when asked, turned around when asked, and finally whispered, "It's really okay."
Actually, there was a small bruise on my arm, but it’s not a big problem.
The main reason was that the clothes were thick in winter, and she only realized it when she was washing.
As for what Fang Sanhong had expected, such as a bloody head and broken legs, that was simply not going to happen.
Xiao Yue also told her that it was a grandmother named Tang who pulled her back in time that day.
Unexpectedly, Fang Sanhong's eyes turned red as she listened, and she slammed the table angrily and said, "Damn it! If I find out who it is, I'll skin him alive!"
It was scary that she kept silent about it, but this actually made Xiao Yue feel relieved, knowing that she must be scared and worried.
but……
Xiao Yue scratched his head and asked in a low voice: "How did Sister Sanhong know?"
She clearly did not mention it when she was using the megaphone, let alone others, because the megaphone could only be initiated by Xiao Yue.
Although the two cities are close, how would anyone know about it unless someone spread the news?
Fang Sanhong raised his eyelids and said, "Xiao Wu is practicing calligraphy and is exchanging letters with Xiao Lian. Xiao Lian said that you are fine. I wonder why you are bringing this up?"
This suspicion was so serious that Fang Sanhong came back immediately.
When she first arrived in Liuyun City, she went to the South Street branch, but Xiao Yue was not there, so Fang Sanhong went straight to someone to ask what happened.
Luo Zhi was in the backyard at the time and hesitantly told her the truth.
Now that was great. Fang Sanhong ran straight to West Street in anger.
Xiao Yue: “…”
So that's it.
Xiao Yue wiped his face, glanced at the innocent Xiao Lian and Xiao Wu, feeling a little amused and embarrassed, and once again sincerely admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Sister Sanhong, I won't dare to do it again."
"I wonder if you'll dare to do it again next time!" Fang Sanhong pinched her face in anger and speechlessness, then looked at Fu Xunzhou: "You must have asked someone to check, what happened to the driver?"
Xiao Yue also looked over.
Nothing happened after that day, and I wonder what happened to the coachman?
"He is awake now, but his speech is still slow and we can't get anything out of him." Fu Xunzhou's eyes were cold and he wanted to say something but stopped.
Speaking out about uncertain things will only add to your troubles.
Everyone in the yard was from the same family. When they heard this, they were all confused and couldn't understand what was wrong with the driver.
Xiao Yue was also puzzled.
She was not from this era, so she thought more divergently and felt that the driver seemed to be "hypnotized".
That’s not right either. It’s more reasonable to say that they are “controlled”.
But is there any way to control a person so stealthily?
Not everyone has a system like her that can help...
Xiao Yue paused for a moment, a figure appeared in his mind, and he stood there in a daze for a moment.
She immediately shook her head away, her heart beating faster for no apparent reason.
impossible.
How is that possible?
Xiao Yue felt that he was really overthinking, so he put that thought aside again, grabbed Fu Xunzhou to help him, and continued to make dinner tonight.
