Chapter 766: Killing with Kindness
"Mom, is Dad okay?"
"I seemed to hear some noise yesterday..." Lu Yuanxiao stood in front of the door and seemed to hear his father crying last night.
Yunniang yawned. She coaxed Rong Che until midnight, but she didn’t sleep well and her face looked a little haggard.
"Uh...it's okay. It's just your father's nightmare. It's not a big deal." She at least remembered to save Rong Che's face.
Lu Yuanxiao nodded: "Nothing is wrong."
During breakfast, Rong Che lowered his head and held the bowl, saying nothing.
Shanshan was short, and he saw at a glance that his father's eyes were swollen like walnuts: "Dad, are your eyes swollen from crying?"
Rong Che suddenly got angry: "Who's crying? Do you want to be beaten, little brat?"
When she looked up, she saw that Rong Che's eyes were red and swollen, and Yunniang almost couldn't hold it in.
Shan Shan pointed at him aggrievedly: "I'm not blind, and I didn't cry. Was it my mother who beat me? Humph..." As she spoke, Rong Che became angry, lifted up his clothes, and looked at her.
The big and the small glared at each other.
Shanshan was very angry: "Daddy, please be ashamed. Daddy, please cry..."
Rong Che’s old face turned red and he scolded me, saying that I was not even as good as a three-year-old child. What? Aren’t you allowed to cry? Don’t I have any self-respect? !
Back then, several men from the Rong family died in battle.
The old man wants him to change his career and become a civil official. Does that mean he doesn't want to join the ranks? Really, I can’t get in! !
Let him lead troops to fight, and he can use all kinds of military tactics with ease. But he really couldn't hold a pen and write policies on state governance or some flowery poems! !
The whole family pursed their lips, afraid of accidentally laughing out loud.
Rong Che saw that his whole family's shoulders were shaking, and he couldn't eat breakfast. He covered his face and ran away.
As soon as I went out, I heard unbridled laughter coming from inside the house, and an old face turned red as if blood was dripping.
After the first month of the year, some people went to court, some went to school, each doing their own job.
"Sister...sister..." Before leaving, Shanshan pulled her sister's clothes.
"Sister... I... I can't control my temper lately. Does sister have any suggestions?" He raised his hands with an innocent look on his face. "I didn't mean to kill anyone or burn anything, but in my mind..." He patted his head, his face looking troubled.
He could always hear mumbling coming from all directions, making it difficult for him to distinguish between dreams and reality.
Lu Chaochao stared at him and said, "Okay, come back later and I'll think of a solution for you."
Only then did Shanshan feel at ease to go out.
It's not that he turned over a new leaf, he's just afraid that his sister will kill someone.
He has been very angry these days, and he can't even suppress it.
Lu Chaochao now only goes to school half a day. When he comes back at noon, he slips into the space and cuts a piece of Bodhi branch with the Chaoyang Sword. Xie Yuzhou happened to come to the Lu family and saw the Bodhi tree in the courtyard...
"I think this tree looks familiar." Xie Yuzhou picked up a leaf, and a picture seemed to flash through his mind.
He vaguely heard a voice asking: "Everyone in the world is suffering, if I don't go to hell, who will?"
He was in a trance, and a scene flashed through his mind quickly.
I sat cross-legged under a Bodhi tree, meditating and meditating, as spring, summer, autumn and winter passed, day after day.
Soon he would come to his senses.
Lu Chaochao was polishing Buddhist beads one by one: "All trees in this world look the same, so maybe I've made a mistake." Lu Chaochao laughed.
"You've come at the right time. Please bless these 108 Buddhist beads with Buddhist Dharma." She rubbed her fingers until sparks came out and handed a string of Buddhist beads to Xie Yuzhou.
This is the Bodhi tree under which Buddhists attain enlightenment and meditate. It is the most precious treasure in the Buddhist world.
With the blessing of the Buddha himself, one will surely be able to suppress the anger in one’s heart.
Xie Yuzhou nodded in agreement and put the Buddhist beads into his arms.
Lu Chaochao seemed to have injected merit into the Buddhist beads. Each bead was emitting a faint golden light, with the light flowing and overflowing with spiritual energy.
"Daddy is hosting a banquet for you guys tomorrow, come along."
Xie Yuzhou pointed above his head stealthily: "Who is that?"
"No, no, you and your family can eat together, I'm not coming." Xie Yuzhou didn't dare to say anything. That person always glared at him when Lu Chaochao wasn't paying attention.
He often comes to my room at night and reminds me that men and women should be separated.
The Lu family invited him to a banquet, so what was he doing here? Are you seeking death?
Lu Chaochao didn't try to persuade him much, it was just a meal after all.
After Xie Yuzhou left, Xu Shiyun had already asked someone to arrange tomorrow's dishes and finish sewing the new clothes.
Shanshan was in even worse condition when she got home from school.
Her face was tense and her eyes were bloodshot. She rushed into the house as soon as she got off the carriage, closed the door tightly and refused to come out.
Mai Feng couldn't hide his worry: "The young master hurt someone in the academy today." If he hadn't stopped him quickly, he would even... see the murderous intent in Shan Shan's eyes.
He really intended to kill.
Xu Shiyun dismissed the people around him and asked, "Tell me in detail what's going on?"
"The eldest son of Lord Zheng is arrogant and has always been unruly in the academy. Normally, the young master would at most curse at each other after hearing this, but he never started a fight."
"But this time..."
"The young master almost strangled the other person to death. His eyes were red at the time, and a pair of hands were pinching his neck, as strong as an ox, and no one could separate them. Young Master Zheng rolled his eyes, his lips and face turned purple, and he almost died on the spot."
"The Master invited the imperial physician to save Master Zheng. I'm afraid there will be trouble later."
When Xu Shiyun heard this, her hands and feet went limp and she had to hold on to the table and chair before she sat down.
My heart was pounding and my scalp was tingling.
Although Shanshan was born with a very violent temper, he had never harmed a living person.
"Young Master Zheng said that Miss Chao Chao was born without a heart, without a heartbeat or a pulse. He called her a monster...but she was spoiled by everyone and became lawless. She even lied to the emperor about getting a title. He shouted that he wanted to burn the monster to death."
Xu stood up.
A child like him could not say such words, unless he heard it from somewhere!
"What did he say?!!!" The voice became sharp, and if you listened carefully, you could even hear the trembling.
"What did he say? Chao Chao what?!"
This is the biggest secret in Xu Shiyun's heart, and also the biggest hidden danger. She never dared to let the doctor take Chao Chao's pulse.
At this moment, she couldn't even stop her hands from shaking.
"Please General, Yanshu Yuanxiao is back."
"No, let them go back home immediately!"
Xu Shiyun felt nervous. How could this matter be leaked? She had been deliberately keeping it a secret and had never let anyone take Chao Chao's pulse!
"Where's Shanshan? I'll go see him." Yunniang wiped her tears, feeling that her biggest secret had been revealed, and she was filled with panic.
But then he remembered his youngest son who came back crying, and he hurried to see Shanshan.
Outside the door, the maid was coaxing him to open the door in a low voice.
"Young Master, the lady is here, could you please open the door?"
The maid shook her head at the lady.
"Prepare some food for him and don't force him." Yunniang has always been a mother who respects her children. Knowing that her son was reluctant to open the door, she did not force him. She just asked someone to prepare food at all times.
"Madam, someone from the Zheng family is coming." Dengzhi heard the news from the front door and hurried back to report.
"Mrs. Zheng is at the door with her child to ask for an explanation."
Xu's face turned pale: "Open the door and let the person in."
Dengzhi looked unhappy: "She, she didn't want to come in. She stood outside the door and said that the family had no discipline, and that the Lu family... relied on their merits to bully others, which attracted many people to watch.
