"Your Excellency?" As soon as Xiao Jue arrived at the door, he saw Changjing's wife coming out of the courtyard of his house from a distance, she stood aside in shock and fear, and greeted Xiao Jue timidly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was a commotion that came from the Changjing family's house.

Changjing's wife looked back, and she looked scared.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jue heard the voice, so he asked Changjing's wife.

"Yes, it's my father......" Changjing's wife was scared.

Xiao Jue turned his head and said to me who was pushing a wheelchair behind him, "Let's go visit the old man." ”

"Your Excellency!" Changjing's wife suddenly stopped us, she was very embarrassed, "Your Excellency, let's come back tomorrow." Daddy, Daddy today...... Hey......"

Changjing's wife's long sigh seemed to be a sigh of helplessness, and that tone made people feel distressed in their hearts. As she spoke to us, she hid the scars on her arms and neck. She should not be very old, only eighteen or nine. But she didn't look like a girl of eighteen or nineteen at all, and even as a woman, I couldn't think of any better word to describe her than miserable. Slim ...... No, not slender, she looked like she was malnourished, her face was a little yellow, her hair was dry and dull like firewood, and even though it was cold now, she was only wearing thin old clothes, and she was shivering when a cold wind blew.

Didn't you say that Changjing's family has a lot of background?

Why did Changjing's wife end up in such a miserable situation?

Xiao Jue is a good person, he heard Changjing's wife's request, so he agreed silently. Changjing's wife was relieved to see that Xiao Jue no longer insisted on visiting, she stood a few steps away from us, folded her hands in front of her, and bent down to give Xiao Jue a salute. When she was done, she turned around to go home.

"Wait, wait." I really don't know what to call her in such a situation. Changjing died, and I vaguely remember hearing Aoyama mention her name, but I couldn't remember it for a while. In a hurry, I casually shouted like this, and she really stopped, and I took two steps to chase after her, blocking her way. "You wounded...... Is someone bullying you? ”

Hearing me say this, she was so frightened that she couldn't even speak, and waved her hands very excitedly in denial, "No! No, no, it's me......" she said and went back to cover the wound, really not wanting me to ask any more, "it's me...... I fell on my own. ”

"You fell on your own?" How can a fall make a series of scars of different depths and criss-crossing on the body? I knew she had been beaten, but I noticed that when I mentioned her wounds, she looked even more frightened, and she looked at me with tears in her eyes, as if begging me not to ask again. I was relieved, "Why are you so careless, you fell like this, remember to rub the medicine." ”

"Hmm." She nodded heavily and said, "Thank you." ”

I got out of the way and saw her walk back very carefully. I think her thank you was not because I told her to rub the medicine, but because I didn't ask any further, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, and the laxity she showed at that moment told me that there must be something hidden behind this.

"Sounds like you feel a little sympathy for her." Xiao Jue said, turned the wheel and came to my side, and stopped steadily.

"Some of her injuries are new." This is what I have just observed, the wound is light red, and there is no blue-black bruise, indicating that it has not been beaten for more than a day. Unless, Changjing's father also started beating her. She was scared, afraid that I would ask questions. ”

Xiao Jue frowned and listened carefully to what I said. I'm afraid this is something he didn't know before. The people in the village thought that only Changjing beat her, but they didn't know that even Changjing's father was violent to her, which was really ......

I resisted the urge to explode.

"It seems that the old man is losing his temper because of Changjing's death, and if we go to visit him today, we may not only not get the clues we want, but also cause Changjing's wife to be punished." Although Xiao Jue couldn't see his emotions on the surface, listening to his tone, the anger he tried to suppress made his tone unconsciously raised. "Let's go back first."

That's all I can do, go back and think about where to continue to investigate.

I walked up behind him, pushed the wheelchair, and carried him back.

"Here, it's not very common for a man to hit a woman." On the way, I couldn't help but ask him, there are too many things here that I feel unacceptable, and I can't help but urge again and again, is this the most primitive and barbaric society?

"Since the Great Fuxi clan, it has gradually moved from a woman-dominated to a man-dominated situation, and has been oppressed by women's power, which has led to the release of some men's nature, so probably because of this, some people will violently declare to women that men dominate all the power." Xiao Jue did not avoid this question, but answered calmly.

I laughed, "If a man violently beats a woman to prove his existence, if it is just an excuse to whitewash the atrocities that have lasted for tens of thousands of years, it really makes people feel inexplicably bleak." ”

As a law student, I should be on the side of domestic violence. But I also understand that China's gender repression since ancient times can't help but make some men find all kinds of excuses to vent their so-called pressure on women, and even make some women have the helplessness and obedience to cover up the violence. In many people's subconscious, in fact, domestic violence can be accepted and forgiven, which makes it difficult to defend domestic violence rights.

My adoptive mother is such a woman.

Even though she is a professor like her adoptive father, she will only avoid and beg for mercy in the face of her adoptive father's violence, and her adoptive father will only calm down and admit his mistakes to her when he is violent, so she easily forgives her adoptive father every time.

“…… I can't go. ”

I pushed Xiao Jue to stop, and he also heard the argument in front of him.

The moon cicada was pulling Qingshan, and for some reason the two had an argument, and the moon cicada looked like she was about to cry.

"It's the cicada and Qingshan," I leaned down and leaned into Xiao Jue's ear and said, "I don't know why they are arguing, the cicada pulls Qingshan and doesn't let go." Qingshan looked a little angry, and the moon cicada was very aggrieved. ”

After all, we're peeking now, and they don't know that their arguments will be seen by others. I explained to Xiao Jue in a low voice, trying my best to describe the picture I saw to him. I asked him, "Shall we go over?" ”

Xiao Jue nodded.

I understood what he meant and pushed him forward.

Xiao Jue said, "I can hear you arguing from a long distance, has something happened?" ”

When the two heard Xiao Jue's voice, they came back to their senses. Yue Cicada hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding Qingshan tightly, lowered his head and stood aside, Qingshan walked over angrily, "My lord." ”

"Qingshan, has Yushan been found?" Xiao Jue asked.

"Nope." Qingshan don't look over, obviously because of the affairs of Yushan, he really doesn't look like he knows the whereabouts of Yushan, and he should be worried about Yushan's affairs at this time.

I saw that the conversation between them was frozen here, and it was difficult for me to come forward and say anything. Then he turned to pretend not to know anything, and asked the moon cicada, "Moon Cicada, is Qingshan bullying you?" ”

"Nope." The moon cicada seemed to be afraid that we would misunderstand Qingshan, so she denied it without even thinking about it. As soon as the words came out, she felt a little embarrassed, lowered her head and explained, "It's not like this, Qingshan, Qingshan didn't bully me." ”

"Then what were you arguing about?" I don't understand.

I've never seen them so good, and it's the first time they've argued like today. Although Qingshan is a rough man, he has always been very good to the Moon Cicada, and after a few contacts, he doesn't think there are any problems between them except for the Moon Cicada's father. But Moon Cicada is not a person who will be vexatious, unless something really happens.

"My lord, I don't worry about Yushan, so I'm going to go looking for someone." Qingshan didn't want to say anything, but just explained to Xiao Jue, and after getting Xiao Jue's consent, he turned around and left directly.

"Qingshan......" Yuecia called him, but this time Qingshan didn't even look back.

"Moon Cicada, what's wrong with Qingshan?" I think Aoyama is particularly strange today.

The moon cicada still looked at the back of Qingshan, very lost. "It's all because my dad is not good."

Moon Cicada's father again? Why is her father always involved in the affairs of the two of them?

"Does your dad still disagree with your business?" Xiao Jue sat in a wheelchair, but he seemed to know everything.

"Not really." Yuecian explained, "Dad somehow, today he offered to let Qingshan go to see him. I'm worried that he will say anything nasty to Aoyama again, so I don't want Aoyama to see him. But no matter how I persuade me, Qingshan won't listen to me, I'm worried, in case I ......"

"Moon Cicada girl, as for this matter, you better let Qingshan face your father by himself." Xiao Jue said.

Yuecian hesitated for a while, but she still couldn't make up her mind, but since Xiao Jue said it, she could only agree. "Then I'll go to find Qingshan first, Yushan doesn't know where he went now, Qingshan is very worried about him, I want to accompany him."

"Okay." Xiao Jue nodded and agreed.

After watching the cicada leave, I asked Xiao Jue, "You actually support Qingshan to meet the cicada's father?" Now Qingshan is already very uncomfortable because of the matter of Yushan, if Yueciao's father says anything unpleasant to him again, then Qingshan will be too pitiful. ”

"If Aoyama is going to be with Moon Cicada, he will always have to face Moon Cicada's father. It can't be another life, no matter how ugly it is, he has to bear what he should bear, if he can't even stand this grievance, how can he promise to take care of Yuecia for the rest of his life. Xiao Jue's voice finally became much more accommodating, and he paused for a moment before he said again, "Presumably, Qingshan also thinks so." ”

Aoyama thinks so too? Could it be that Aoyama lost his temper just now, just because of the moon cicada's distrust of him? "Then should we go over and have a look, in case Qingshan and the moon cicada's father have a conflict......"

"No, it won't." Xiao Jue smiled lightly and gently hooked the corners of his mouth, which was a little good-looking. "Now that Changjing has been killed, Yueciao's father will never hinder them anymore, presumably he took the initiative to find Qingshan this time, and he also wanted to talk to Qingshan about marrying Yuecia. Don't forget, you promised me to help find out what Changjing was killed, and we should have more important things to do now. ”

Just now, did he have calculated that Yueciao's father asked Qingshan to talk about marriage in the past? Then why didn't he say it directly, and went around in such a big circle.
