Beauty is too weak to be bullied

Chapter 3 It's Miserable Anyway

The bad guest was sent away, and the room was instantly clean.

Du Qingtan let out a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes and lay down, motioning Cailan to rub her temples.

After lying down for a while, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right. She opened her eyes and saw Yang looking at her in a daze, with tears streaming all over her face.

"Don't cry, it's not worth it." Du Qingtan has never been very good at comforting people, but felt that his vocabulary was poor, so he simply took out a handkerchief and handed it over: "I don't care."

Who would have thought that Yang would cry even more when he took a look at her veil.

"This handkerchief is almost torn and you are still using it. It's all because of my incompetence. I can't keep the family business, which makes you suffer and be bullied..."

"..." Du Qingtan was speechless. Seeing that Yang was crying more and more, he simply stretched out his arms and put his arms around her shoulders.

"After all, it's because I've been sick and taking medicine all the time, which ruined my family. Also, does my aunt think that I'm restraining my father and mother, as Pei said?"

"Nonsense! Your mother didn't die because of you. Didn't I get sick and take medicine?"

Yang immediately stopped her tears, and said angrily: "That's not a thing! According to her, I'm still a Koff!"

Du Qingtan liked Yang's straightforward temperament, and was even more grateful for her taking care of herself, so she chuckled: "Since you know she is not a thing, why are you crying?"

"Uh..." Yang hiccupped and said unwillingly, "I'm just too angry."

Angry and humiliated, but powerless and nowhere to vent, isn't it just crying.

Du Qingtan patted her on the shoulder as if coaxing a child: "After crying, come and discuss what to do."

After living for dozens of years, it is not as calm and sensible as a child.

Embarrassed, Mrs. Yang took the handkerchief from Cailan and wiped her face, and said, "This matter has to be resolved by the clan, so I'll go to Duling right now. Tuantuan will go to school later, you wait at home." with him."

The Jingzhao Du family has produced many famous ministers since the Western Han Dynasty. Du Ruhui, one of the 24 founding heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, is the representative of the family. Unfortunately, there are no follow-ups. Nowadays, most of the family members are unknown.

And Du Qingtan's family is a partial branch. The previous two generations moved out of Duling, where the Du family lived for a long time. They would only go back for major events such as festivals or weddings and funerals. They did not have close contact with the clan in daily life.

It is also for this reason that Mrs. Pei dared to bully her so arrogantly.

But no matter what, as long as the clan is willing to step forward, it will always make things difficult for the Xiao family.

Du Qingtan felt that the clan wouldn't care too much, after all, all the adult males in his branch were dead, and the remaining ones were still young and didn't know what their future would be.

Who would be willing to severely offend the Xiao family for them?

Mrs. Yang must beg for help this time, so it's better to think of other ways.

Yang sighed: "It's not that I'm ignorant of the world, it's just that I have to tell the clan about this matter anyway, it's wrong not to say it, and it's also the most convenient and simple way. Alright, you've been tired all day, go to the meeting first Son, don't turn around and get sick again."

Without further ado, while it was still early, Mrs. Yang took her rough envoy Yu Po, hired a donkey cart and hurried to Duling in the south of Qujiang Lake.

Du Qingtan went back to his room and lay down for a while, then got up when he saw that the time was almost up, went to the front and told the male servant, Old Yutou: "It's almost time, you go to pick up Tuan Tuan, be careful on the way, don't delay, don't make trouble with others strife."

Tuantuan is already seven years old, two years ago he was taught by the Yang family, and his family couldn't afford a husband, so he enrolled in a family member of the Du family in Xuanyangfang.

Xuanyangfang and Yongningfang, where they live, are separated by a square area, but they are far away, so they should pick them up.

What's more, when she saw Pei's gloomy eyes before, she always felt that this kind of person was used to domineering, and he didn't show any morals.

"Don't worry, Wu Niang, the old servant will protect Xiao Lang well no matter what."

Old Yutou and rough envoy Yu Po belonged to a family, and the old couple had no children, and treated Du Qingtan and Tuantuan as much as their own juniors.

Du Qingtan felt at ease, and when Old Yutou went out, he went to the kitchen to watch Cailan cook.

In fact, there are only some coarse grains and vegetables, and there is no meat or the like.

Of course, if you want to eat, you can't eat. Not only is it poor, but also because the queen believes in Buddhism and ordered a ban on slaughter.

Powerful people can take the risk and secretly get meat to satisfy their cravings. It's okay for them to be so pitiful, and it's not like their lives are too long.

So Du Qingtan looked at the bright yellow millet and the green and green vegetables, and felt desolate in his heart. He felt that life was a bit bleak again, and he was quite mad.

She wants to eat big white rice!Want to eat oily braised pork!Want to eat delicious roast chicken!

Even if she doesn't have one, at least give her some flour pancakes, spread eggs, etc.

This is what the patient needs, it's miserable anyway.

Cai Lan couldn't bear her despair and sadness, so she simply drove her away: "Go and rest, Xiao Lang will call you when he comes back."

After Du Qingtan left the kitchen, he stood at the gate and looked out.

Although Tuantuan is young, she looks cute, smart and well-behaved. She likes this little cousin the most. She hasn't seen her for a long time, so it's weird.

The shadow of the sun slanted down little by little, but Lao Yutou and Tuantuan never came back. Du Qingtan panicked, could it be that the Xiao family really took action against this child?

No, I have to go and have a look.

Cai Lan also came out wiping her hands: "The meal is ready, why haven't you come back?"

"Let's go pick them up." Seeing that Cai Lan wanted to refuse, Du Qingtan stared at him, "Not much to say!"

"Understood!" Cai Lan reluctantly took the veiled hat and put it on for her, and helped her to walk forward.

Du Qingtan walked very slowly, and had to stop for a while after walking for a while.

Cai Lan didn't mean to be annoying, but praised her: "Your body is really much better than before. How dare you go out on the street before?"

Du Qingtan didn't say anything, just opened his eyes wide and looked for Lao Yutou and Tuantuan among the passers-by, but he still didn't see anyone when he walked all the way to Xuanyangfang.

Cai Lan asked strangely: "Could it be that you missed it? Or is it because you haven't finished school yet?"

Du Qingtan pursed his lips tightly and did not make a sound, and rushed to Du's clan's house as fast as he could.

The concierge was surprised to see them: "Mr. has something to do today, so he left school early, and Xiao Lang left more than half an hour ago. The old man from the house just came here, why? He hasn't gone home yet?"

Du Qingtan frowned: "I haven't seen him, I wonder if he was with his classmates?"

The concierge smiled and said, "Since school is over early, the other students made an appointment to go to Dongshi for a stroll. Xiao Lang said he wanted to go home and endorse, so he left by himself."

Tuantuan is sensible and knows that the family has no money, so he avoids such things that cost money.

Du Qingtan looked worriedly at the white-flowered street, Chang'an City is so big, where did this child and old Yutou go?

It's hard, but you can't do nothing.

The two masters and servants searched along the route that Tuantuan used to go to and from school in turn, and asked everyone they met, but they couldn't find anything.

"Wu Niang, that's Xiao Lang's schoolbag!" Cai Lan pointed forward excitedly.
