Sheng An Ning was a little puzzled by Pei Nuo's behavior, but seeing that her movements were filled with anger, it was obvious that she was also in a state of anger.
Turning to look at Sheng Mingyuan: "What does she mean?"
Now Sheng Mingyuan is certain of one thing, Pei Nuo really knows something, or has been stabbed into this state by something.
"She must have seen what her mother looked like after she died. You should go to Mr. Pei to learn about what happened back then. This way you can better prescribe the right medicine and help Pei Nuo with psychological relief."
Sheng An Ning frowned. If she went to see Mr. Pei, would he tell her?
After Pei Nuo vented his anger, he painted the entire screen red, as red as blood.
Sheng An Ning went over, held Pei Nuo's hand, and took the things in her hand very gently: "Xiao Nuo, give this to me, let's go wash our hands and take a rest, okay?"
As he spoke, regardless of the red watercolor on Pei's hands, he reached out to hug her, gently patted her back, and comforted her.
It was obvious that Pei Nuo in his arms, whose originally tense body was relaxing a little bit.
…
Pei Nuo's abnormality made Sheng An Ning want to know the reason, and it was obvious that if Pei Nuo had been treated earlier, he would not have been as seriously ill as he is now.
When she was hesitating about how to find Mr. Pei to clarify the situation, Mr. Pei took the initiative to find her.
That evening, Mr. Pei called home and asked guiltily if Pei Nuo could stay at Zhou's house for another night.
Sheng An Ning readily agreed that it was no problem. Mr. Pei was silent for a moment, then asked Sheng An Ning if he could go out, as he wanted to talk to her about Pei Nuo.
Sheng An Ning was just wondering, so she agreed without hesitation.
However, Zhou Shixun was worried about Sheng An Ning going out alone, and something that originally had nothing to do with his family now involved Sheng An Ning, forcing him to be wary.
So I decided to go with Sheng An Ning.
Sheng An Ning also thought it was okay. She was not afraid of danger, but she felt that Zhou Shixun was much smarter than her and had very strong observation skills. Maybe he would make different discoveries if he went there.
Mr. Pei invited Sheng Anning to a teahouse near Dengshikou.
Nowadays, teahouses are not only for drinking tea, but also for eating. In the evening, there will also be temporary crosstalk performances, making it a very lively place.
Sheng An Ning couldn't understand why they would meet in such a lively environment to discuss things?
After arriving with Zhou Shixun, I found out that there were private rooms behind the teahouse. Teahouses have existed since before the founding of the People's Republic of China. They were places where scholars and elegant guests came to chat.
It was closed for many years and was only reopened last year after being renovated to its original appearance.
There weren't many people coming, but they were all young people who claimed to be elegant.
So the business is pretty good, the lobby is bustling and the private rooms are quiet, which gives it a sense of elegance in the midst of bustle.
Mr. Pei had been waiting in the private room for a while. When he saw Sheng An Ning and Zhou Shixun come in together, he was stunned.
Sheng Anning was a little embarrassed: "My wife and I came here together, is it inconvenient?"
Mr. Pei smiled quickly, but his smile was a little tired: "It's okay, it's okay, there's nothing inconvenient."
After asking the two to sit down, he called the waiter to come and pour tea.
After the waiter came over to pour the tea and left, Mr. Pei did not beat around the bush and directly talked about Pei Nuo's life experience: "When Xiao Nuo's mother died, Xiao Nuo was only three years old. However, before the age of three, Xiao Nuo did not speak. He was very quiet and well-behaved."
"Her mother was a very good person, studious and hardworking, but she met the wrong person and didn't get married or have children. In that era, she would be criticized, and her family would not recognize her and would not let her go home."
"Later, she lived with Xiaonuo alone. She was my student, so I took extra care of her. When my wife found out, she had some misunderstandings."
"Later, there was a plague in Qinglong Gorge, and the water source was destroyed. When Xiaonuo's mother went to the water source to collect samples, she unfortunately fell into the water and was washed away. It was not until many days later that her body was found. It was severely decomposed."
This is similar to what Sheng An Ning guessed: "Did Xiao Nuo see her mother's last appearance?"
Mr. Pei nodded: "Yes."
Sheng An Ning was puzzled: "She is such a young child, why did you carry her to the scene? And let her see her mother's last appearance, isn't it too cruel?"
Mr. Pei sighed, but did not explain anything. He just lowered his head and sipped his tea in silence.
Zhou Shixun just glanced at Mr. Pei's slightly trembling hands holding the teacup, then picked up the kettle to add tea for Sheng An Ning.
Sheng Anning still didn't understand: "Teacher, why are you telling me this?"
Elder Pei smiled bitterly: "I think you have guessed it. Xiaonuo is not mentally ill. She just shut herself off because of the stimulation. I don't know why, but after Xiaonuo saw you, her emotions became more and more obvious. Maybe one day she will become a normal person."
"This is what I hope for the most. If she can't recover, I would like to ask you to help me take care of her. Of course, I won't ask for your help in vain. Although my yard is not worth it, I can give it to Xiao Nuo."
The topic suddenly turned to entrusting an orphan to someone else, which caught Sheng An Ning off guard. She looked at Old Pei in surprise, "You? I like Xiao Nuo very much, but I may not be able to take care of her. After all, the three children in the family are all taken care of by the elders at home. If I bring Xiao Nuo home again, it will cause trouble for the elders."
"Teacher, I sympathize with Xiaonuo's situation. I am willing to take care of her and accompany her when I am free. But I may not be able to take care of her all the time."
Sheng Anning felt that her kindness was not about being a saint at all costs.
By then, the ones who will be tired are Zhong Wenqing and Zhou Hongyun.
Mr. Pei didn't expect Sheng An Ning to refuse, and he refused without even a hint of hesitation. He was silent for a moment, with a somewhat lonely look on his face: "I was too abrupt, sorry, I was just afraid that when I'm gone, Xiao Nuo will have no one to take care of her."
Sheng Anning frowned: "Teacher, you are in good health now, and no one can tell what will happen in the future, so you don't have to make these plans now."
Mr. Pei smiled, trying to hide the dejection in his eyes: "Okay, let's have tea. Just pretend that I didn't say anything today. It was indeed my inconsiderateness."
The following conversation became a little awkward.
Not long after, Mr. Pei said he had to leave for something.
After Sheng An Ning sent Mr. Pei out, she returned to the private room and sat with Zhou Shixun for a while. She was mainly confused about Mr. Pei's inexplicable behavior today: "Why did he suddenly entrust his orphan to someone else?"
Zhou Shixun had been silent until now, and now he spoke confidently: "Because he lied, Pei Nuo's mother probably didn't fall into the water accidentally."
Sheng An Ning exclaimed: "It wasn't a slip? Could someone have pushed her into the water on purpose? And young Pei Nuo saw it, and also saw her mother's last appearance, so she became like this today?"
