Chapter 467 Do You Want to Kill Him?
The weather was getting colder and colder. Although Shen Shuyi was riding in a car, he was always paying attention to what was happening on the street.
Most people on the street are wearing thick cotton-padded clothes. As it is near the end of the year, there are many people selling goods, all hoping to have a prosperous year.
Perhaps because of the weather, there were not many people shopping. Although the streets were filled with the scent of life, it was not very lively.
Lian Qiao said, "There will be more people on the street at noon. There are more and more beggars these days. Fortunately, we have stored a lot of food, but even so, we still dare not give more."
Shen Shuyi retracted his gaze, and said in a serious tone, "Disaster relief should be the responsibility of the imperial court. Even opening the granaries to release grain is not enough to feed everyone, let alone us on our own."
Lian Qiao nodded: "I still hope that everyone can get through it and wait until spring comes..."
Soon, the carriage stopped at the back door of the house.
Qin Xin helped Shen Shuyi out of the car, and Shen Shuyi walked into the back door wearing a white cloak.
As the number of people increased, Jiuchou and his family moved to a larger house with four courtyards.
When Shen Shuyi arrived, he saw many people with bare upper bodies practicing sword skills in the cold winter.
The charcoal fire in the courtyard was burning red. Although the season was bleak, it was a warm feeling for the strong and healthy boys.
"The young lady is here, everyone put on your clothes!" Jiuchou frowned and spoke in a deep voice.
The few people who were not wearing clothes finally reacted and their faces turned red with embarrassment, which made the others burst into laughter.
Seeing this scene, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, and a smile appeared on his face.
She likes this kind of vibrant ease and freedom. Although they work for her, they are also living people who have joys and sorrows, and they look forward to living through one year after another.
"The person is in the innermost part." Lian Qiao led the way. When they reached the second courtyard, they saw Lian Cheng squatting in front of a window, fiddling with the herbs that were drying in the sun.
Seeing Shen Shuyi, Lian Cheng also smiled: "Miss Yi is here."
Shen Shuyi looked at Liancheng. Perhaps because he was always in front of his daughter, Liancheng now looked very different from the sloppy look in his previous life.
His hair was combed meticulously, his coat and robe were all new, and his shoes were extremely clean, with not even a speck of dust on them, not to mention showing his toes.
I don’t know whether Lian Qiao prepared it for him or he himself started to care about his clothes.
His eyebrows were somewhat long and brown in color, his eyes were less fierce than before, and he looked smiling.
Maybe because Lian Qiao stared at him too closely, he also gained some weight, and looked kind and happy.
"Master is now better than an old immortal, and looks more energetic." Shen Shuyi said with a smile.
Lian Cheng still had a wine gourd hanging on his waist, and said with a smile, "Very busy."
Seeing Lian Qiao beside him, Lian Cheng said, "Lian Qiao, go and bring a bowl of my newly prepared medicinal soup to Yi girl. It's best to drink this in winter. These people in the yard have been drinking it for some time."
Lian Qiao turned around with a smile, while Lian Cheng took Shen Shuyi to the direction where Tong's mother and Tong Guan's sister were, and sighed.
"Master, do you have something to tell me?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Lian Cheng sighed again and whispered, "That girl is pregnant. She must have been quite traumatized."
Shen Shuyi was in a trance for a moment, and said softly: "I understand."
It goes without saying what would happen to a blind mother and a young and weak girl in this dynasty without the protection of a man in the family.
"I heard from Jiuchou that the man in their family used to be a bodyguard, but he died in an accident. The master asked them to compensate for the loss, so their life became difficult." Liancheng spoke slowly.
"Lian Qiao couldn't tell she was pregnant, but I could tell right away. It's just... Lian Qiao had been through something like that, and I was afraid she would know..."
"I understand." Shen Shuyi responded softly with a cold look in his eyes.
Because in the previous life, Lian Qiao died like that.
Now she is lucky enough to be alive and living a pretty good life, but she can't help but feel sad when she sees Tong Xuan.
"Can Aunt Tong's eyes be cured?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Lian Cheng said: "Of course he can, but he won't be able to recover like a normal person. If he is treated well, he will be able to see a little bit."
Shen Shuyi didn't ask any more questions. He knocked on the door and pushed it open.
Perhaps she heard the noise, the child's mother stood up tremblingly with the help of crutches and was about to come towards them.
Tong Xuan supported her on the other side and looked at Shen Shuyi vigilantly and cautiously.
Shen Shuyi's gaze fell on her. The girl had a pair of clean and beautiful deer eyes. Because she was too thin, her eyes seemed abrupt, reducing her beauty.
Her skin was somewhat dull and her hair was dry. Even though Lian Qiao had prepared a new dress for her, it still looked empty and gray when she wore it.
At this moment, those beautiful eyes were full of death. If she hadn't been worried about Tong's mother, she would have chosen to end her life.
Shen Shuyi clearly saw that the moment the girl saw her, she subconsciously wanted to hide behind her mother, but perhaps because she didn't want her elderly and frail mother to protect her, she stopped the action.
Tong's mother was also uneasy and asked tentatively, "My dear lady?"
Shen Shuyi retracted her gaze and said gently, "Aunt Tong, I am a friend of Tong Guan. He has helped me in the palace before, so I was asked by him to take care of you and Tong Xuan."
After hearing this, Tong's mother let down her guard and wanted to ask something, but she didn't dare to, so she choked up and said, "You are good people... You are all good people... You are all very good to me and Xiaoxuan."
Seeing her eyes slightly wet, Shen Shuyi did not rush forward and said softly: "Tong Guan is not bad in the palace. He will be punished occasionally, but he has always been smart and his life is not bad now."
"That's good...that's good!" When Tong's mother mentioned this, she burst into tears: "If it weren't for the family's debt, he wouldn't have entered the palace to become a eunuch. At that time, Xiaoxuan and I were seriously ill and on our last legs, so he...he..."
When talking about Tong Guan, Tong Xuan's eyes finally lit up.
Shen Shuyi patiently comforted him, "Tong Guan is doing well now. After the New Year, if there is a chance, maybe he will have the chance to see you."
"Really...really? Thank you so much, my dear!" Tong's mother immediately knelt down and wanted to kowtow to Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi dodged to the side and stepped forward to help her up.
"Girl, thank you...thank you..." Tong Xuan subconsciously wanted to speak when her mother's rough and wrinkled hands grabbed Shen Shuyi's hands randomly.
But she only saw that Shen Shuyi did not avoid, nor did she show disgust, she gently held her mother back.
"Aunt, you should take good care of yourself. Mr. Liancheng said that if you cooperate, there might be hope that you can see again."
Tong's mother kept nodding her head: "Okay...Okay, I will definitely cooperate! I will definitely cooperate!"
"I have something I want to say to Tongxuan in private. Can I ask someone to accompany you to see the roasted sweet potatoes? Jiuchou and the others are roasting sweet potatoes in the yard, making it very smoky." Shen Shuyi asked.
"well."
After Tong's mother left, only Tong Xuan and Shen Shuyi were left in the room.
The girl sat opposite Shen Shuyi, staring at him intently, her throat tight, still alert and uneasy.
Shen Shuyi looked straight at her with his almond-shaped eyes and said in a cold voice: "Do you want to kill him?"
