Chapter 159 He Zheng made the first move

In a daze, the kid fell into a short light sleep and had a terrible nightmare.

In his dream, many children came to the key class, and they were all his enemies. Qin Ye was fine, but there were also those two bad guys, Zhai Yao and Luo Chen. The two of them teamed up to snatch his pen, use his ink, mess with his inkstone, squeeze out his seat, and even tried to incite others to drive him and his brother out.

The little devil was furious and yelled, "This is my home, get out of here!"

This earth-shattering sound frightened Zong Wenxiu so much that he immediately grabbed his shoulders nervously and shouted, "Jincheng, wake up, are you having a nightmare?"

Zong Jincheng opened his eyes wide and rubbed them with his hands. He looked up at the shaking carriage and then realized that he was going to Qingbo Academy for an examination and everything that had just happened was just a dream.

"Fortunately it was just a dream..." he murmured.

Otherwise he will get angry with his fists. These two annoying guys had better stay away from his house!

He Shangshu Mansion.

As soon as Xu Wan got off the carriage, she saw Mrs. He pacing anxiously at the door. When she saw her coming, she came towards her as if she were looking for a life-saving straw.

Xu Wan quickly quickened her pace and stepped forward and said, "Madam, why are you waiting here in person? Just ask someone to take me in."

Mrs. He was as happy as if she had seen her savior. She replied with tears in her eyes, "Sister, if you don't come, I'm going to go crazy. Come in quickly and we'll talk in detail."

Xu Wan was pulled in by her, and when their arms touched each other, she could feel Mrs. He's body trembling, as if she had been extremely frightened.

Something really happened...

On the way, Xu Wan kept observing her surroundings. The servants and maids seemed normal, so it seemed that this big event had not been spread, otherwise Mrs. He would not be the only one who was panicked.

The maid who was guarding the room saw them come in, glanced at Xu Wan, an outsider, and whispered to cover up, "Madam, the young master is unconscious... the fever has not yet subsided. The palace doctor said that he will not be awake today."

Mrs. He did not admit this statement, but ordered all the maids to leave and only leave the two of them.

Xu Wan glanced at the bed and saw He Zheng's face was pale, but he didn't seem to have a fever. When she looked down, she saw a red fingerprint on his neck, as if someone had pinched him.

Xu Wan widened her eyes slightly.

Pinch...

Could it be that Minister He wants to strangle He Zheng to death?

Xu Wan was shocked and asked, "Madam, what's going on? Did He Zheng climb over the wall again and anger Minister He? But normally, isn't it just a spanking?"

As soon as Xu Wan finished speaking, Mrs. He burst into tears.

"What a sin! What a sin! A stubborn son meets a stubborn father. The fight will not stop until one of them dies..."

Mrs. He cried so hard that she was out of breath. Xu Wan quickly handed her a handkerchief to wipe her face, but she was so emotional that she didn't stop crying for a long time.

Xu Wan just stayed with her like this, not knowing what to say. Madam He had three legitimate sons, but the one that worried her the most was her stubborn little son.

When Mrs. He calmed down a little, she slowly said, "Zheng'er was the first to do it."

Xu Wan's pupils gradually dilated.

She looked at the nine-year-old child lying on the bed. Even in a coma, his brows were tightly knitted, which reminded her of the day when He Zheng was beaten with a stick by Minister He, his eyes were full of hatred.

At that time, she guessed that if he continued like this, He Zheng would definitely become a rebellious son who beat his father up when he grew up. But could it be that he was so young and already had such thoughts?

Mrs. He just said a word, tears flowed again, but fortunately it did not affect her speech: "Zheng'er tried every possible way but failed, but he really envied Jincheng and the others for being able to go to school, so after another failed attempt to climb over the wall, he turned his attention to his father. Yesterday, he prepared a cup of tea and gave it to the old man. That cup of tea was added with a kind of medicine, which is lethal if taken in large quantities, and fainting if taken in small quantities. Zheng'er probably just wanted to sneak out while his father was unconscious, but when the old man found out, he thought he was going to kill his father and almost strangled him to death..."

Xu Wan covered her mouth with her hand, fearing that she would scream out in fright.

Sure enough, something big had happened. He Zheng had already shifted his attention from himself to his father.

The growth of every bad child is a gradual accumulation of small mistakes. No matter what the cause is, the result will make them gradually lose their humanity. At the beginning, they didn't know what to do and dared to give the child a drug that would cause unconsciousness; but later, when they were forced into a corner, they dared to increase the dosage and cause death...

"Such a big scandal happened in the mansion, and we dared not speak out, fearing that if it got out, Zheng'er's life would be ruined. But I'm afraid, I'm afraid, sister, I'm afraid that if this continues, Zheng'er will really do something irreparable."

Madam He was about to kneel down to her and said, "Sister, you are so capable. You can teach a child like Jincheng to study well. You must be able to help our Zhenger, right? I beg you, I beg you to help me, please..."

Xu Wan quickly helped her up and said anxiously, "Madam, please calm down. I can't accept such a gift... I want to help this child, but our situations are different. Your father obviously doesn't want the child to go to school. We have to get through this first."

Mrs. He cried out in breath: "I, I can't think of a solution, I really can't think of one, so I asked you to help me think of it..."

Xu Wan sighed and helped her sit down. She replied, "Okay, don't worry, let's think about what we can do together."

"Okay, okay." Mrs. He quickly poured her tea, arranged snacks, and pushed them directly in front of her, creating a good environment for her to think.

Xu Wan: “…”

The other party is clearly begging her sincerely, but why does she always feel like she's being tricked?

But looking at Mrs. He's swollen eyes, dark circles from not sleeping all night, and a few white hairs on her head, she should be just in her early thirties...

How pitiful the love of parents all over the world is.

Xu Wan sighed again. She just had a strong ability to empathize, so she wanted to take on this responsibility.

She did not touch the tea or cakes, but raised her eyes and spoke seriously: "Madam, even if you want He Zheng to come to our house to study, you need the consent of Minister He. And the reason why Minister He is unwilling for his child to study is because he was impeached by the civil officials, right? Then now, please tell me the whole story. To cure the disease, you must first find the root cause."

When he was young, He Shangshu was born into a military family. Because his ancestors were all military generals, he was able to thrive in the capital. But more than ten years ago, he competed with others for a position in the Ministry of War as a military officer, and from then on he began to be impeached by civil officials.

Today they say he is a reckless man who is incapable of managing military affairs; tomorrow they say his family of military generals only know how to fight and kill; the day after tomorrow they say he is unworthy of his position and should be kicked out of the Ministry of War.

However, the fact that Minister He had climbed to the position of head of the Ministry of War at such a young age made those anxious civil servants even more furious, and they impeached him even more diligently.
