Chapter 512: Human Favors Are Debts
If you want to dig up Bai Xingyan's killing of that child back then, it will definitely not work by relying on the old lady. Hakuran asserted that if she really wanted to expose the matter, the old lady would not have the determination to push her son to the guillotine with her own hands. Then she has two choices left, one is the Hong family, and the other is Mama Li.
The strength of the Red clan alone is not enough, there is no sound and video evidence to survive in this era, and it is difficult to convince the public with only one mouth of the Red clan. So if there is another Mama Li at this time, two witnesses, the strength will be much stronger.
She wants to find another breakthrough from Mama Li, so the person in front of her is a key person.
This person is none other than Mama Li's nephew, Li Zhu.
Bai Heran once wanted to help Li Zhu once, but unfortunately the marriage was promoted, but Sun Xiaoluo was robbed by the Peng family and ended his life under humiliation. Bai Heran has always thought that this was a major mistake, if she could have rushed directly into the Peng family and ignored the Peng family's nonsense at the gate of the mansion, she would definitely be able to save Sun Xiaoluo's life.
However, the world is impermanent, and no one could have imagined that this would be the outcome before it happened. Although she has a body of medical skills, she is not really a living dead flesh and bones, if Sun Xiaoluo took poison at the beginning, she may be able to snatch a life from the king of Hades and come back, but this person who committed suicide, she is really powerless to return to the sky.
I didn't expect to meet Li Zhu here today, and Bai Heran also had a few emotions for a while.
"How long has that guy been here?" She asked Donggong Yuan in a low voice, "How did you get to our academy?" β
Donggong Yuan glanced at Li Zhu and said, "I know this person, he found it himself, saying that it was the relationship between the old lady of the Wenguo Mansion and the personal grandmother, and also said that Master, you had said earlier, if he wants, he can come to the academy to work at any time." He claimed to have a hand in growing vegetables, and he could take care of the vegetable garden better than the farmers outside the city, so the academy arranged for him to try the work. Look, Masterβ" Donggong Yuan pointed into the vegetable garden, "and there are cabbages growing over there, which not only grow well, but also do not produce insects, and it is said that it is because a kind of insect-repellent grass has been planted around the vegetable garden. β
While speaking, Li Zhu also looked at them, Donggong Yuan he had seen many times and was already familiar with it, but the arrival of Bai Heran made him a little surprised, and he was a little embarrassed in addition to the surprise. The man working under the sun had his cheeks tanned black and red, and bowed to the white crane from afar.
Li Zhu is missing half a leg and relies on a cane to support his body when he stands, but because of his perennial labor, his body is quite flexible. Seeing that Bai Heran was about to go to the vegetable garden, he hurriedly waved his hand from a distance, and then limped towards them.
"Second Miss." He followed his aunt and called Bai He Dye the second lady, "The vegetable garden has just been watered, and it is a little muddy, so the young lady will not go in, so as not to dirty the upper of her shoes." "Li Zhuren is very realistic, and he is more introverted after Sun Xiaoluo's incident, but fortunately, time has passed, and now he has serious things to do, and he doesn't have to stay in his small yard all day to touch the scene. So gradually, you can let go of the past and only remember the deceased in the dead of night.
He was a little embarrassed to see Bai Heran, and even weak-hearted, but he was a good person because he wouldn't hide things, and he would definitely say anything truthfully and truthfully, and he wouldn't wait for others to take the initiative to ask.
It's like coming to Tianci Academy, he knows that his aunt gave him face, otherwise he is a disabled person who is willing to use him to farm the garden, no matter how good the planting is, there is no sound person who does things as neatly. People can do the work in two or three hours, but he has to do it for a whole day, getting up in the morning and finishing the work at sunset. Sometimes the young people in the academy would help him take care of it, and the work of carrying water was also carried by those half-grown children to the edge of the vegetable garden, which saved him a lot of work.
So he looked at Bai Heran and said very ashamedly: "I was disheartened at the beginning, and I almost didn't have the mind to live, but my aunt said that the second lady didn't give up on me, and if I wanted, I could go to the newly opened academy in the capital city to ask for a job, which is much better than being sad at home." Later, I heard that the academy was open, so I came here to ask for face, and I was able to get in through the name of the second lady, so I always wanted to talk to the second lady about this and kowtow to you to thank you. My aunt said that the second lady was busy with things, so I should not bother, but I must knock this head on the ground when I meet it today. β
He was about to kneel down as he spoke, Yingchun knew her young lady's temper, and was about to reach out to stop it, but was blocked by Donggong Yuan.
"Let him knock! If you are unable to reciprocate the kindness of others, you should at least say thank you. If you don't let him knock on this head, he will always think about this in his heart, and it will be uneasy. On the contrary, it is good to knock it, and even if he has thanked his benefactor seriously, he will do things well in the future, and no longer think about it. β
Yingchun withdrew his hand at this time, watched Li Zhu put down his crutches and knelt on the ground, and seriously kowtowed to Bai Heran three times.
"Thank you Second Miss for helping her many times, Li Zhu has no ability, and he is a cripple, so he can't follow Miss in front of the saddle. But Li Zhu will always remember Miss's great kindness, no matter what happens in the future, as long as Miss can use Li Zhu's, even if it is to fill in the head, I will not be ambiguous at all, and I will go! β
Bai Heran listened to the music, "Li Zhu, if you thank me, thank me, what kind of stuff do you want." I'm not like the Ten Highnesses, they are going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, I am a young lady in the inner courtyard of a deep house, how can I have anything to do with you. Mama Li is an old man in the Guogong Mansion, in the past year, she has helped the old lady secretly take care of me and help me, and now she comes to take care of and help her nephew, which is all right. Get up, I know your heart, and I hope you will understand my good intentions. β
Li Zhu was a little excited, because Bai Heran said so much to him, and also mentioned that his aunt took care of her in the past, which sounded very close, really like his own person. He was a lame man with half a leg missing, both parents were dead, and he had only one aunt to rely on. He has always felt that he is a burden to his aunt, so he tries not to trouble his aunt as much as possible, no matter how hard and tired the days are, he can survive alone, even if he breaks his leg and makes a mistake, he can just endure it.
However, since this second lady returned to Kyoto, since he was favored by her for the first time, and since he entered the Tianci Academy, the days seem to be different from before. Let's just say that this Tianci Academy, he watched the poor people send their children in one by one, and watched them start to change one by one in this place, and those poor people also walked in here to learn medicine and pharmacology, and learn kung fu. While frantically absorbing nutrients, people are full of admiration and gratitude for the princess.
He is no longer alone, and every day in his vegetable garden, children come and go to help water and fertilize. Everyone in the academy is as kind as brothers and sisters, there is no estrangement between people, no calculation, no comparison, some just help each other and make progress together.
Life seems to have opened up a new world for him, and his originally bleak life suddenly shines brightly.
Li Zhu knew that all of this was given by the second lady.
The strong man suddenly had a sour nose, turned his head and raised his hand to wipe his face, only to find that he had shed tears.
He said: "I'm a rough person, I don't know how to thank the second miss, I can only plant the garden well, and grow delicious green vegetables and radishes for the children, so that our academy's food can be solved by ourselves except meat, and I can save a lot of silver in a year." It is not easy for the second lady to maintain the academy, and I am putting money into it every day, so I can only do my best to help you save as much as possible, so that you can bear less burden. When the garden is ready, I will open the backyard and plant some Chinese cabbage, which will be pickled in the autumn and stewed in the winter. β
Bai Heran nodded, "That's right, you show your skills, and it will be the biggest reward for me." She stretched out her hand and patted Li Zhu's arm, "You are Mama Li's nephew, and our relationship is closer, if you need anything in the future, just mention it to me, just go to the Guogong Mansion to find me, or you can tell Mr. Donggong and let him convey it." In short, you remember, once you have entered the academy, I, Bai Heran, am responsible for you. It is my responsibility to give you a sense of belonging, to keep you safe, and to lead you to make your lives better. We help each other, and no one owes anyone, all for a better future. β
Li Zhu nodded vigorously, and tears were thrown out with the action of nodding. Since Sun Xiaoluo's death, this is the first time that he has ignited infinite enthusiasm for life and is full of endless hope for the future.
Bai Heran was quite satisfied with everything in the Tianci Academy, when she handed over the academy to the Hong family to rebuild, she really didn't expect the Hong family to do things so well. Even Donggong Yuan said: "The interior of the academy obviously invited everyone to draw drawings, and then it was transformed by mature craftsmen to have today's appearance." The Red family has paid a lot for this. β
She agrees with this very much, "I knew that the Hong family was reliable, but I didn't expect it to be so reliable." That's it, this favor has been done again, and favors are debts, and they will be repaid in the future. β
Donggong Yuan has been in contact with her for a long time, and he can more or less guess a few rare words and words that she occasionally pops up, such as the word "reliable", which sounded confused at first, but now he can understand that it should be synonymous with safe.
He originally wanted to tell Bai Heran that he could actually make good friends with her and do something for Princess Tianci, even if he was named with His Royal Highness the Tenth and Ninth Highnesses, it was too late for the Hong family to be happy, and where would she be able to repay her favor. You must know that with the support of the two most powerful princes, his Hong family's business is definitely much smoother than that of the Wenguo Mansion behind his back.
But before he could say anything, he saw the young man guarding the door hurriedly running here, and when he saw Bai Heran, he hurriedly saluted, and at the same time hurriedly said: "Princess, there is a father-in-law outside the door, saying that there is an urgent matter to find you, it seems that something happened in the palace......"
