Chapter 054 Beat You to Death
"Healthy and happy..." The boy's eyes were wet. It turned out that growing up with the care of parents meant being healthy and happy, not like him...
Suddenly, Liang Ronghua's warning echoed in his mind. The boy shuddered and a look of alienation instantly appeared in his eyes.
Such a young child, with such a heavy mind, one can imagine how hateful the adults around him must be.
A woman like Liang Ronghua would do anything for glory and wealth!
Xia Xue took his hand and said, "Come, eat something."
The little boy looked at the dazzling array of food on the table with his eyes shining.
He licked his lips and swallowed.
"Mom said that I should be good in front of Dad, and not eat random things or talk random words." The little boy lowered his head.
Xia Xuexie is affectionate to Chu Zhenxuan.
Chu Zhenxuan curled his lips. Liang Ronghua, this woman!!! He has already sent people to investigate. If this woman dares to use his amnesia to make a fuss, don't blame him for being rude.
Xia Xue picked up a piece of sugarcane and silver flower cake and passed it to his mouth, "Try it. Don't worry, we won't tell your mother about what happened to you here."
The little boy raised his head, his eyes sparkling, as if asking, "Can I trust you?"
Xia Xue's smile was very pure, without any impurities, and much more comfortable than her mother's smile. The next second, the little boy suddenly took the sugarcane honeysuckle cake and swallowed it in two or three bites.
Xia Xue pushed all the snacks on the table in front of him, and the little boy looked at Chu Zhenxuan.
Chu Zhenxuan nodded.
The little boy picked up the snack and started eating it piece by piece.
"Don't be impatient. Eat slowly."
The little boy was choking, so Xia Xue poured him a cup of scented tea.
After a while, all the snacks on the table were swept away by the little boy, who burped contentedly.
"Can you tell me your name now?" Xia Xue always had a smile on her face.
"My name used to be Gou'er, but my mother said that the name didn't match my identity, so she asked me to be called Chu Yun, but I still like Gou'er more."
What mother would name her child Goudan'er?
Unless they are not biological children.
Not a biological child?
Xia Xue's eyes lit up and she looked at Chu Zhenxuan.
Chu Zhenxuan also blinked as if he had telepathy with her.
What if, what if Gou'er was a homeless child before, and was discovered by some people and became Chu Yun?
Xia Xue was startled by her sudden thought.
"Goudan, have you always lived with your mother?"
A deep sense of vigilance immediately appeared in Chu Yun's eyes.
"Why do you ask that?"
Xia Xue rubbed his head and said, "Nothing, just asking casually. If you don't like it, you don't have to answer."
Chu Yun lowered his head and said, "My mother doesn't like people calling me Gou Dan'er. If someone calls me that, she will beat me."
"Okay, from now on we will all call you Chu Yun."
Chu Yun nodded with relief.
Xia Xue didn't ask about him anymore, but arranged for the servants to give Chu Yun a bath and change his clothes.
Chu Yun was still very resistant to taking a bath. At first, he insisted on bathing himself. Later, because he added too much hot water, the bathtub was overturned and people rushed in.
What you see when you go in is amazing.
Meng Ya was the first one to rush in. According to her, the basin in her hand fell the moment she entered.
There was almost no good spot on Chu Yun's body. There were wounds, new and old, all over his body, looking extremely ghastly.
She really couldn't imagine who could be so cruel to a child of only a few years old.
According to Liang Ronghua, Chu Yun is almost five years old this year, but Xia Xue judged that Chu Yun should be around six years old. However, a six-year-old child is covered with wounds. Such a child looks more like an orphan. How could he grow up with his biological mother?
Xia Xue was furious, so she asked Xia Chun to take people to guard Liang Ronghua's garden. Except for sending food and drink in, they were determined not to let her out and prevent her from harming this poor child again.
Chu Zhenxuan quietly called in Doctor Yu and gave the child a full-body examination.
After inspection, it was shocking.
The child had hundreds of wounds, both new and old, large and small, all from whipping, pinching, and scratching.
The child's internal development was not very good and he developed later than other children of the same age, so Imperial Physician Yu estimated that the child should be seven years old.
In fact, if the imperial physician's diagnosis is revealed, Liang Ronghua and Chu Yun can be driven out. However, if they are driven out in this way, many people will inevitably be dissatisfied, and the person behind it cannot be caught. More importantly, Chu Yun may be beaten to death.
Xia Xue felt sorry for the child, and decided to come up with a foolproof plan with Chu Zhenxuan, to catch the person behind the scene and convince everyone.
The imperial physician prescribed both oral and external medicines. Chu Yun had been wounded so many times that it was impossible to completely remove the wounds. He could only try to minimize the scars.
Chu Yun took the medicine and fell asleep.
Xia Xue sighed and looked at the child sleeping quietly. She felt indescribable sadness in her heart. In her memory, she should not have had a child, but why did she feel so angry and sad when she saw a child being injured?
"Miss, Miss"
Xia Xue put her finger to her lips and said, "Pfft."
Meng Ya walked to the bedside and whispered, "The woman next door is yelling and swearing."
"Go and have a look."
As soon as she walked into the yard, she heard Liang Ronghua cursing, saying that Madam Chu was a vicious woman who locked her up and took her son away, and she didn't know how she tortured him. If her son was injured, she would never let him go, and so on.
As soon as Xia Xue showed up, Liang Ronghua shut his mouth, but a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.
"Are you scolding Mrs. Ben?"
Liang Ronghua turned away and said, "You are a guest. I am scolding the person who has imprisoned me."
"Xiachun, slap your face."
"You dare"
As soon as Liang Ronghua finished speaking, a slap was delivered.
Seven or eight slaps in a row, coupled with Xia Chun's great strength, made Liang Ronghua's face bruised and battered.
"stop."
Xia Chun stopped.
"You are convinced."
"I am a guest."
"Keep hitting."
After a dozen more slaps, Liang Ronghua's face instantly swelled up and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
"Are you convinced?"
Liang Ronghua wanted to nod, but his neck had no strength, so he ended up shaking his head.
"Keep hitting."
Liang Ronghua threw away the guards who were holding her and knelt down.
"I am convinced. I am convinced."
Liang Ronghua's mouth had been beaten so badly that he couldn't utter a single word, and he spoke incoherently.
"Okay, I'll tell you now why I beat you. The Prime Minister ordered you not to leave the garden. First, it was for your safety. Second, before you clear your name, I don't want other people to use the Prime Minister's affairs to make a fuss. If the Prime Minister is going to recognize you, and someone uses your identity to hurt the Prime Minister, do you think you still have the right to live?"
"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!" Liang Ronghua kowtowed quickly.
Looking at Liang Ronghua's face that was swollen like a pig's head, Xia Xue suddenly felt that she should keep Liang Ronghua and beat her once a day to relieve her anger for abusing the child!!!
"Meng Ya, take some concealer to Miss Rong Hua and tell the maid to apply it three times a day without missing a single time."
"Yes!" Meng Ya did it immediately.
"Thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am."
Xia Xue looked at Liang Ronghua with a smile and said, "Just experience the feeling of having a scar on your face forever."
