Chapter 262 Sure enough, I have to force myself

"Children, come quickly. I have met Master Si and Master Meng." Lin Ling introduced them first.

Five children stood in a row and shouted in unison: "Students have seen Master Si and Master Meng."

Meng Jian said happily: "No need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

But before she finished speaking, Si Pi had already walked over, walked around the children, and stopped in front of the shivering Gu Rui. He raised his hand and touched the child's collar, and said in a cold voice: "What's your name? How old are you?" ?”

Gu Rui's eyes were fixed on the ground. Her chest was rising and falling so much that her body was leaning. Her hands were tightly twisting her clothes, and she could only make a whining sound for a long time.

Gu Panxue was beside her and quickly replied: "Master, her name is Gu Rui, she is seven and a half years old."

Si Pi instantly locked eyes with Gu Panxue.

Although Gu Panxue had seen a lot of things with her mother, she thought she had seen the world, but when she was stared at like this, she was instantly frightened and lowered her head in silence.

"I'm asking her, you don't need to answer."

Her tone was cold and she sounded angry, but the expression on her face did not change at all.

"Doctor Lin, what's wrong with this child?"

Lin Ling was so old. When she was suddenly asked a question, her heart skipped a beat. She felt guilty for no reason and lowered her voice: "She was severely suppressed at home and is unwilling to speak. She will get better slowly."

She had already seen Ruirui's body, and there was nothing wrong with it except malnutrition.

But Si Pi snorted from his nose: "How can you learn if you can't speak? Send him back."

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked.

Meng Jian stood up to smooth things over: "If the child can't speak, it will slow down the progress of the children. She has to learn by herself, which will put a lot of pressure on her."

This is a euphemism.

There were so few female wives, and Mrs. Min spent a lot of money to hire two of them. They were already arrogant, and they naturally hoped that the students they taught would be successful, instead of wasting their time on a child who couldn't speak.

The children wanted to speak for Gu Rui, but Lin Ling gave them a warning and they all shut up silently.

Gu Rui was in the spotlight, her hands were pinched and bleeding, and she opened her mouth several times, but the more nervous and frightened she became, the less able she was to make a sound.

Go back?
No, she doesn't want it. Life at home is more uncomfortable than death.

"Let's go to the academy early after dinner. We need to make preparations in advance." Si Pi didn't have that much time to wait for a child.

Meng Jian followed her.

"Third brother, take the ladies over first." Lin Ling said warmly.

Gu Panhui nodded. It was the first time he saw such a stern master. He didn't dare to make any mistakes and just led the way.

Mingting also followed with her sisters.

Gu Rui was left, watching them leave and turning around silently, her eyes revealing infinite longing. After taking a deep breath, she shouted: "I, no, go back!"

She hadn't spoken for so long that her pronunciation was not clear, but she could still understand her.

Si Pi, who was walking at the front, stopped. Meng Jian turned around first and smiled slightly: "Give it a try. If you can't keep up in half a month, then go back."

After saying that, Si Pi continued walking.

Gu Panxue and Xiao Lanhua quickly turned around and pulled Gu Rui away with them.

Lin Ling also breathed a sigh of relief silently. Looking at the two people, one was cold and the other was hot, one was a good person and the other was a bad person.

It was really effective, and Gu Rui even spoke.

Gu Yunting put his arms around her tightly and patted her shoulder: "With cold faces and warm hearts, there is no need to worry as long as they are here."

"Ah."

Lin Ling nodded, took Gu Yunting's hand and walked out together. Unexpectedly, before the coachman left, he saw the two of them approaching him.

"Is it Mr. Gu? This is a letter written by Mr. Xiao. I must hand it over to you personally."

Gu Yunting was confused. Before he could open it, the coachman had already left in the carriage.

"Read it when you get back." He held the letter in his arms.

The two entered the inn and went to a private room, just in time to see the children being introduced one by one.

Li Li also came.

Not long after the family sat down, the waiter served the dishes.

Because Si Pi was there, the atmosphere was really unbearable. Everyone hurriedly finished their meal, and after walking out of the inn, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Lin Ling and Gu Yunting led the way to the academy.

Cheng Zhi had been waiting at the door. When he saw the lady, his eyes lit up, full of respect: "Everyone, please come inside."

There are very few female ladies who can stand out among a group of men. They are naturally very knowledgeable and can come to his academy. Many students heard that the female madam was here, but they ran back again!

Also because of the reopening of the academy, the number of classes has been reduced, and many students have come, so school can start as normal tomorrow.

He led the way, passing by the school and then the courtyard where he lived.

"Master, you stay in these two rooms."

Both rooms are separate and have everything you need, so you can move in with just your bags.

Si Pi and Meng Jian went in separately.

Mingting was placed next door because she was older and had a separate room.

As for the four small ones, they all live in one room.

Gu Panxue chose the upper bunk of Little Orchid and lay on it, leisurely saying: "Finally moved in."

"It's so comfortable." Xiao Lanhua agreed.

The one who lives on the upper bunk opposite is Zhang Xiaobao. She is sitting on it with half her head hanging down. She looks at Gu Rui who is in a daze and cannot hide her worry: "Rui'er, are you okay?"

it's here. Gu Rui was only older than Gu Panxue. She couldn't calm down now. She nodded and tried to squeeze out one word: "Okay."

"Yes, yes, that's it, just say it slowly." Xiao Lanhua ran to sit next to her and held her hand tightly.

Gu Panxue also said: "What happened before is over, you still have to speak, and you can't torture yourself because of other people's mistakes."

"Hey, that makes sense." Zhang Xiaobao listened and said, "My parents kill pigs, and I feel so stinky that I stay away from people when I see them. But now that I'm with you, You never said that I smell! That smell is actually just my imagination, Rui'er, the same goes for you."

Gu Rui's blank eyes gradually became focused, is that so?

Here, she no longer has endless work to do, nor endless scolding and beatings.

"Ah."

"Great, we're talking again!"

Xiaoxue'er's excited voice continued to spread outside.

Lin Ling was also pleased: "Two ladies, I will leave the child to you."

"My request remains unchanged." Si Pi emphasized for half a month.

Meng Jian answered: "We will do our best."

"Thanks for your hard work."

After settling in, Lin Ling and Gu Yunting followed Cheng Zhi out.

Cheng Zhi quickly took out a gold-plated card from his arms and handed it to Gu Yunting: "You two must come tomorrow. I want to thank you very much for the academy being able to reopen."

Gu Yunting nodded: "Okay, I will definitely come."

Cheng Zhi watched the two of them go away.

Walking to an invisible distance, Lin Ling took the invitation into his hand and observed: "It's different when you have money."

It was even gold-plated.

"That's good, otherwise everyone will think that Lushan Academy is really going to close." Gu Yunting said with a smile and took out another letter.
