With this whip, the second wife used almost all her strength. She wanted to force the extraordinary Luo Tingchen to retreat, but she didn't expect that after Luo Tingchen recognized her, he accepted all the moves, stood in place, and took the whip.

With a muffled 'snap', the whip ripped through his back shirt and flesh, and the blood beads immediately rolled out. Luo Tingchen staggered a big step, and after standing firmly, he saluted the second wife: "Say hello to the little uncle." ”

"Why don't you hide?" Looking at the blood on his back, the second wife's face turned white: "I didn't want to hurt you." ”

"Because you are an aunt, the elders will be punished, and the younger generations will not dare to hide." Luo Tingchen saluted again, his movements involved the injury on his back, and his head was covered in cold sweat, but he still stood straight.

The second wife was shocked again, and stood speechless.

Roman rushed out from behind the tree, shouting to the maid to get the medicine. Roland, who was happily chasing butterflies in the distance, also ran over to this side while crying.

When I came to the front, I looked at my brother's injury that ran through the entire back, and cried out with a 'wow': "Brother......"

She shouted heartbreakingly, just listening to this cry made people's hearts sour.

"Sister, you lie!" Roland glanced at his brother, and then at his sister, who also had a bad face, and all the grievances that had accumulated and scattered before came up-

"When you talk about your uncle's house, no one will dare to bully us anymore. You said that there was a misunderstanding between my mother and my uncle's family, as long as we were good and sincere to our uncle and aunt, the misunderstanding could be resolved. Sister, you lie. ”

"Lan'er ......"

"You say that I am a golden and noble lady, it is not right for Mama Pei to beat me, and it is not right for me to kneel and kowtow to my subordinates; You let me hold my head up and be a man, even if Uncle Xuanyi doesn't care about us, my uncle's family will never let people bully us. You lie. ”

"Lan'er doesn't cry, my sister didn't lie to you......"

Roman squatted down to coax his sister, but Roland took a step back: "If I kneel down and pinch my legs for Mama Pei, she won't beat me and give me something delicious." I kneel down for Mama Zhang, and she will be able to expose the matter of breaking the Crystal Palace, and she doesn't want the life of that little girl.

I hold my head high, when I am a young lady, who can protect me? Sister, weren't you chased and beaten by Zhao Chongan with steel balls? Isn't my brother only standing and beaten? Mama Pei said, we are children without a father and no clan, and we must learn to judge the situation by ourselves. ”

"Roland!"

"You're murdering me, I'm right. The carriage had just arrived at the gate of Zhao's house, and the streets were full of people who laughed at our mothers and ridiculed us; As soon as I entered the main hall, Mama Zhang wanted to impose the charge of 'greed' on me, saying that she was taking us to the back garden to enjoy the flowers, but in fact she was taking us into a trap. Zhao Chongan has been staying here for a long time, waiting to beat you.

If it weren't for my brother coming over in time, do you think you would be able to stand here safely at this time? My brother saved you, so don't you have to be beaten for you? Zhao Chongan can chase you with steel balls, but my brother can't take the stones back. ”

"That's not the case, Lan'er!" Roman held back the tears that rushed to his eyes, and pulled Roland's hand over to him: "Uncle didn't want to hit the eldest brother, but the eldest brother didn't hide by himself." The eldest brother does not hide, but tells his cousin by example that the young and the young are orderly.

That's our cousin, and he's going to tell him to 'keep the ceremony.'" If you keep the courtesy, you will take advantage of the reason, and the situation will be in your favor. If the eldest brother does something to the younger aunt, it is disobedience and unfilial piety, and the uncle can escort him to kneel in the ancestral hall. The reputation of unfilial piety will even affect his family and imperial examinations. ”

Roland took a step back and didn't let his sister lead. She was still crying loudly, but she didn't refute her sister's words.

"My brother chased Zhao Chongan and beat me, not because he beat me. It is to tell him that there are 'people outside the people', and that if he acts recklessly, he will provoke people he can't beat. ”

"My aunt doesn't know how good we are, and my aunt beats him!" Roland cried again, and his loud cry was full of sadness and grievances.

Roman hugged his sister in the past, and then he wanted to coax him, but he just opened his mouth and tears rolled down: "Lan'er, don't be afraid, sister, big brother will also protect you." ”

Luo Tingchen didn't care about taking medicine, and came over and squatted in front of Roland: "Lan'er is good, my brother doesn't hurt, and my little aunt didn't mean it." The little aunt is the cousin's mother, and of course she has to protect the child when she sees her child being beaten. Mother is struggling to be like that, doesn't she also protect us wholeheartedly? In order to protect us, doesn't my mother make any moves, and swallow any grievances? ”

"Mother!" Roland threw himself into his brother's arms, and stretched out an arm to hook his sister's neck: "Sister don't cry, Lan'er knows it's wrong." I know that we are asking our aunt, and if my aunt doesn't protect us, Mama Pei can swallow us alive.

Sister stopped crying, Lan'er stopped making trouble, Lan'er was wrong. ”

Luo Tingchen couldn't stand Lan'er like this, so he tilted his head to the side and endured the tears. Roland snorted, tears rolled down in strings, but she didn't care about herself, and reached out to wipe Roman's tears: "I'll go and confess my mistake to my aunt, if my aunt is angry, I will let her beat me, and I won't hide." ”

"Are you satisfied with forcing the kids like this?" Zhao Wennian rushed back and saw this scene, and saw that the eyes of the second wife were cold and cold: "You promised to treat them well, and this is how you treat them?" ”

Listening to Roland's accusation, the second wife burst into tears. Listening to Roman explain Luo Tingchen's deep meaning again, it was even more uncomfortable in my heart. Now that her husband is accountable, she is full of remorse, and a slap is thrown on her face: "I did it wrong, I was wrong." ”

She ran over to Roland's side, and couldn't help but say that she took Roland into her arms: "It's all the fault of the little uncle, the little uncle hates your mother, be careful." My little aunt won't be like this in the future, can you forgive your aunt? ”

"Little aunt!" Roland threw herself into the arms of the second wife, and said with a suspension: "My sister said 'the young and the old are orderly', you are your aunt, Lan'er will not blame you." ”

"Good boy." The second wife's eyes were uncomfortably sore, and tears fell one after another: "Your sister is right, you are a golden and noble lady, and if your mother-in-law dares to beat you, we will betray her." If you dare to kneel, we will beat her board. From now on, your uncle and aunt will protect you, and no one will dare to bully you anymore. ”

"Really?"

Roland looked up at her with a little face, and when she saw her little aunt nodding, she laughed out loud, laughing so much that a big snot bubble blew out of her nostrils.

Roman couldn't help laughing, and Luo Tingchen, whose eyes were red, also hooked the corners of his lips.

"Then let's stop crying, can my aunt take you to wash up and eat something delicious?" followed the second wife, who was smiling, wiped Roland's snot with a handkerchief, and carried her to the house.

Seeing that Roman was still standing, he stretched out his free hand to lead her over: "You are transparent and can see through your aunt's heart, I don't tell you much, you only remember that I am your aunt, and I am famous in the whole capital." ”

Roman looked up at his aunt, and his face was full of trust and dependence: "It's good to have a backer." ”

Squeezed his eyes at Roland again: "Do you hear that?" If someone bullies us again, we don't have to put up with it. We have an aunt and uncle. ”

Roland nodded heavily, then put his arms around the second wife's neck and kissed her loudly on the face: "My sister didn't lie to me, when I get to my uncle's house, I can also be a daughter." ”

Seeing that the two sisters had dealings, the second wife also smiled. It's just that her heart is so sour: what kind of life are the children living in Wanzhaoyuan, how can even a grandmother bully them at will?

Zhao Pingniang's majesty in front of them, did she feed the dogs?

Thinking of Zhao Pingniang, the second wife had a rare trace of sympathy in her heart: it was so difficult when she first moved to Wanzhaoyuan, and Zhao Pingniang didn't even stretch out her hand to her mother's house. Five years have passed, and no one in the Zhao family can enter the door of Wanzhaoyuan.

She was so angry that she bowed her head for the sake of her children.

is only for her heart for the children, and I Xiao Mingrui will no longer turn over the past grievances and grievances.

Zhao Chong'an, who was still in place with the colors hanging all over his body, wiped his nose, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at his father, only lifted his eyelids to peek at his father's movements, trying to find a chance to slip away.

He relied on his mother's protection to protect his shortcomings, and he was used to being a bastard. Now that his mother left him here, he didn't dare to go to his father to touch his head.

Especially looking at Luo Tingchen's back injury, he felt weak for no reason - it was obviously not him who hit him.

"Follow me to the medicine first."

Zhao Wennian helped Luo Tingchen up, turned his head and glared at Zhao Chongan: "Go to the house and kneel by yourself, and wait for me to free my hand, and then clean you up." ”

If Zhao Chongan is pardoned, he will run away.

"This bastard thing." Zhao Wennian looked at his son's back who disappeared in an instant, and shook his head helplessly at Luo Tingchen: "If he wants to be half sensible to you, I can live for ten more years." ”

Luo Tingchen laughed: "I was also naughty when I was a child, because I made a big mistake because I was naughty. ”

Zhao Wennian knew that he was talking about his father's fall off the cliff, so he patted him on the shoulder distressedly and explained: "Don't think about the past, focus on the present is more important than anything else." ”

Afraid that he would blindly think about the past, Zhao Wennian hurriedly changed the topic: "It is said that the king of Hejun asked you to go to him to practice, what do you think?" ”

Luo Tingchen talked to his uncle about his and Roman's considerations.

I walked all the way and talked all the way, and when I finished speaking, I also arrived at my uncle's study.

The wound on Luo Tingchen's back looked terrifying, but it wasn't deep. Zhao Wennian also practiced boxing to strengthen his body, and knew that he was not in the way, so he didn't call a doctor, and helped Luo Tingchen take care of his wounds.

"It's reasonable for you to dodge that whip, and you went to the prince's side, you can't do things like this."

When his uncle said this, Luo Tingchen was embarrassed, and he said to his uncle in a dignified manner: "I was not whipped because of etiquette, but because of bitter meat." My aunt has a deep prejudice against us, and I can get rid of some resentment by whipping her. She is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and if she pities me, she may eliminate her resentment towards her mother. ”

Zhao Wennian was stunned, and then took his hand and helped him up: "You brothers and sisters, all of them are human spirits. ”

"Three Sisters......

"Knowing that Lan'er is innocent, you brothers and sisters, she is sincere."

Luo Tingchen touched his head and smiled, not knowing how to answer.

"If you really decide to go to the prince's side, it's time to get ready. To do things by the side of the prince, knowledge is secondary, and the most important thing is reliability. Not only are you reliable, but the people around you must also be reliable. If you are not careful, the opponent can follow your seam and pull out the prince. ”

Luo Tingchen immediately knelt in front of his uncle: "Please help my uncle." ”

"Don't have a reliable person around you?"

"It's not just that there isn't." Luo Tingchen got up with his little uncle's hand, and started from the family affair between Mama Pei who designed Roman and Pei Junlin, and clearly showed the situation at home in front of his little uncle.

Pei Pozi was delusional, and she was pinched in her hands both inside and outside the house. She was born and was her mother's grandmother, and she accompanied her mother for decades. Man Man and I are constrained everywhere, except for one Zhou Hong, all of whom are Pei Pozi's people. ”

Zhao Wennian listened with his ears skewed, and the more he listened, the more fierce his eyes became: The Pei Pozi who pleaded Zhao Pingniang and pushed him into the lake?

"Don't be afraid, you call me uncle. I won't ignore it! ”
