Chapter 370 No need to dirty your hands

Gossips were still circulating nearby, all about the Supreme Emperor, Liu Mian and Prince Tai'an.

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter if the grandson becomes a son and the son becomes a younger brother. Except for the confusion of generations, they are all descendants of his family!"

"It's so funny, it turns out that as long as you are a man, no matter whether you are an emperor or a nobleman, you will always have the same virtue when meeting a beautiful woman!"

"Hahaha, hahaha, you are soft too! I am soft too, hahaha, the old man is quite funny!"

"Shh, stop talking, be careful of being captured by secret agents. If you don't die, you'll have to shed your skin!"

"It's okay, don't you think it's strange?

Ever since Prince Tai'an was sent away to study abroad, no one mentioned him much. Why did such rumors suddenly spread again? "

"Why else? The father and son must have had a falling out over something. The son doesn't want to take the blame for me, so he just wants to make it public!"

"I also find it a bit strange. In the past, if there were any rumors about the palace, someone would warn them not to talk nonsense.

It seems that no one is taking care of it this time, and rumors are allowed to fly? "

"Could it be that the Great Emperor doesn't care at all? That's right. If he can say something like 'You are soft, I am also soft,' how can he care about gossip?"

"You're going to die! You're just talking about Wei Liumian, why do you dare to mention the word 'Sovereign Emperor'? Shut up."

There was a loud bang, and the person who was chatting enthusiastically was startled, thinking that he had really attracted an official official.

Everyone turned their heads. It turned out that it was an eight or nine-year-old boy who knocked over a stool when he stood up. He didn't pay attention to it, but his mouth became more restrained.

Wuyou and Qingling looked at Cheng Ziran who was eating tea, but stood up suddenly and turned over the stool. They were about to ask him what was wrong, but Cheng Ziran ran out quickly.

The two looked at each other and tacitly divided the work. Wuyou quickly left the store to chase Cheng Ziran.

Qingling paid the bill and went home with the packed refreshments. Uncle Du Feng was still waiting at home. As for whether her aunt could catch up, she didn't worry about it at all.

The only thing I can't figure out is why Cheng Ziran is so abnormal today? Could it be that he was offended by the nasty things said by those in the teahouse?

It's not like that. He has a slippery and sophisticated temperament at a young age, and he has a complicated and well-informed childhood. He is not an innocent and pure little white rabbit, right?
  Could it be that some bad past events have been brought back to mind?
  There were many pedestrians on the street, and Wuyou was worried about causing trouble and did not dare to use his true skills. The pedestrians thought that some adult was chasing his disobedient son, but no one cared.

Seeing Cheng Ziran right in front, he didn't expect that he could move so quickly that he couldn't catch him for a moment.

Just as he was about to give chase, Cheng Ziran turned towards an alley. Wuyou was worried that he would lose him due to the exit, so he quickly speeded up to catch up.

Cheng Ziran stopped deep in the alley in a deserted place, standing with his back to Wuyou and holding on to a tree, with a sinister expression but tears streaming down his face.

Wuyou breathed a sigh of relief, and without thinking about it, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm:
  "Xiaoran, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly lose your temper when you were fine? What happened?"

Cheng Ziran turned around, his face still full of tears, but his expression was very sad and pitiful, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Wuyou was shocked. She knew that Cheng Ziran was not as innocent and well-behaved as he appeared, but she had never seen him look like this.

"Xiao Ran, what's wrong with you? What happened? Who bullied you? Tell your aunt quickly and I'll take it out on you!"

A trace of guilt quickly flashed in Cheng Ziran's eyes. He raised his head but still had tears in his eyes: "No one bullied me. I just heard the dirty words from those people. I remembered that after I was sold to a small brothel, those bad people forced me to accompany them." They drank, sang and danced, and talked dirty words at the table, without caring that I was still a child!
  Although I was born into a businessman, I had studied the books of sages since I was a child. Later, my grandfather taught me chivalry and etiquette. How could I endure this?

When I think about my past experiences, I feel very sad, angry, and blame myself. I feel really unworthy of my grandfather’s love and teachings.”

Wuyou breathed a sigh of relief, took out a silk towel, wiped his face clean, and said reproachfully:

"I don't blame you Xiaoran, it's because I didn't find you in time, and it's also because your stepfather and eldest brother were too ruthless!

Come on, be good, stop crying. It's not your fault. Don't keep it in your heart, and don't let other people's gossip influence your emotions. You have to look forward as a person. "

Wuyou doesn't have a comforting temperament to begin with, and this is the limit of what she can do.

Cheng Ziran was very moved. Wuyou remembered something and asked:
  "It's your stepfather and eldest brother's fault that you ended up in that situation, and they should be punished.

When we were in Jiangyang County, I wanted to punish them for venting their anger on you, why didn't you allow me? You don't seem to be a soft-hearted person? "

Cheng Ziran's expression became solemn: "I am indeed not a soft-hearted person. On the contrary, I have always believed that a person should be clear about grudges and grudges.

I believe that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. I also believe in repaying evil with kindness. How can I repay kindness?

However, the grievances and grudges have clearly gone too far, and the hatred must be repaid.

If I hadn't met my grandfather, I would have become this kind of person, and I thought I was an upright person.

But I met my grandfather, and he taught me what things should be tolerant and what things should be taken seriously.

He taught me to put myself in someone else’s shoes. When I encounter something I can’t figure out, I might as well put myself in someone else’s perspective and I might change my mind.

He also taught me that I must evaluate a person and an issue comprehensively and not just look at one side in order to make a correct judgment.

So Auntie, although I hate my stepfather, resent the entire Wang family, and hate my eldest brother even more, I listened to my grandfather and I figured it out.

Although my stepfather treated me hot and cold, and made things difficult and humiliating me a lot, he was the one who raised me up with no worries about food and clothing, and even hired people to teach me my civil and military skills. He never really bullied or abused me.

I'm not his biological son. Although he treats me badly, it's not that bad. I don't need to miss his kindness in raising me, but there's no need to hold a grudge.

More importantly, I wouldn’t have known my grandfather without him, and I’m grateful to him for that.

Although he was angry with me for my mother's death, he was not the one who killed her directly. The main reason was that my mother was narrow-minded, sulky and very accepting of death.

That's why I stopped my aunt from punishing him. From now on, just be a passerby and don't have to dirty your hands.

As for my half-brother, he has no relationship with me in the first place, and his biological father died young (might as well be dead), so how could he treat me as a biological brother (almost as an enemy).

What's more, he just kicked me out (wanted to cripple me) and didn't take the initiative to harm me.

I also took some of my belongings with me, but I was unlucky enough to fall into the hands of a kidnapper, so I didn’t let my aunt take action (because I couldn’t afford to offend him). "

After finishing speaking in one breath, he thought, how dare you take action in Jiangyang County? Otherwise, wouldn't I be exposed?
