"Did something happen?" Zhang Xiuyuan immediately realized that something was wrong.
Lu Ying held Shen Ci’s hand, comforted him, and sighed slightly: “Several children died, and Youzi was among them…”
"What?" Zhang Xiuyuan stood up in disbelief. "What's going on? Are you kidding me?"
Since the birth of little Baozi, Zhang Xiuyuan became a father. He loves little Baozi very much and has a good impression of children. As for Youzi, he had at least met her before, and she was well-behaved and smart, so Zhang Xiuyuan also liked them very much.
"We only found out after we arrived in the capital and met Shen Chaomu." When Lu Ying mentioned this, her mood became depressed, and sadness appeared in her eyes.
Only she knew how painful Shen Ci was when he learned of Youzi and the others' death. He was immersed in grief and self-blame all day and night, and even had nightmares when he fell asleep. In just a few days, he lost weight rapidly and almost lost his appearance. He was even more depressed afterwards.
It was Lord Lu who finally invited the imperial physician and provided psychological counseling, and only then did Shen Ci slowly recover his health.
Back then, that letter was indeed written by Shen Chaomu, and she really wanted to give Youzi and the others a better life as written in the letter.
Unfortunately, she didn't notice that this letter was written at the instigation of her stepfather.
As soon as Youzi and the others arrived in the capital, they were controlled by their stepfather and used to threaten Shen Chaomu. As for what the threat was, Shen Chaomu did not say.
All we know is that in the end, Shen Chaomu used a very tragic method. Among dozens of children, he only saved sixteen. The remaining seven died, and Youzi was among them.
"Not only that, Little Grape also died. Shen Chaomu was seriously injured and almost couldn't make it. Later, Shen's mother and stepfather died one after another. It was Shen Chaomu's revenge."
Lu Ying sighed slightly and added, "In the beginning, Chengzi was also killed by the stepfather's people. It was because Chengzi heard that they were going to harm Shen Chaomu, and Chengzi was about to tell Shen Chaomu, but was discovered by that person and died tragically."
As Lu Ying told the story, Shen Ci sobbed and cried.
Lu Ying held him in her arms and leaned him on her shoulder.
Zhang Xiuyuan fell into the chair, his eyes instantly reddened. Not only him, but everyone else present was also filled with sadness.
I thought sending them to the capital would give them a better life, but I didn't expect that it would send them to the gates of hell.
When Lu Ying and Shen Ci left, Zhang Xiuyuan kept holding the little bun tightly, as if he could see the seven poor children through the little bun.
Children are innocent. Why should adults involve children in their grudges?
The faces of Youzi and the others flashed through Zhang Xiuyuan’s mind one by one.
In the dilapidated temple, she was happy and cherished the snacks she ate; she was delighted and cautious when she put on new clothes; she was excited when she saw the copper coins in her palm when she earned money for the first time; she was fulfilled when she was busy at Huixiang Restaurant; she was bright-eyed when she carried her small bookcase to the private school...
Zhang Xiuyuan, who is always sentimental, had tears in his eyes again.
Zhao Chuchu hugged him and the little bun in her arms, without saying a word, and silently comforted him.
That afternoon, Shen Chaomu came to the door.
Looking at the person walking in from the door, Zhao Chuchu was a little dazed.
In Zhao Chuchu's impression, Shen Chaomu is a vigorous person.
