Chapter 297 Cheating is not a bad thing
Only Chu Yun himself knows what he feels for Luo Shu.
He understood that at his age, no matter who he told it to, others would treat it as a child's joke and laugh it off.
Even if he told Sister Luo Shu, she would probably just rub his head, nod his nose with a smile, and say, "Be good, be good. I like you, too."
There is no ambiguity at all, he is just coaxing the child.
But he knew his own mind.
Because his parents died early, his elder brother Chu He first practiced martial arts outside, and later had to make a living. He spent most of his time with his uncle since he was a child.
My uncle and aunt were only calculating. Although his expenses around my uncle were paid for by my brother, to them, he was just a tool for them to ask my brother for money and occupy their old house.
At such a young age, he had to learn to read their expressions.
He knew when he should be well behaved and when... he could try to ask for more food.
He also knew that after delivering something to the next door for his cousin, he could get an old shirt in return to keep warm.
He thought no one cared about him, but fortunately his brother came back.
However, he was already dying at that time. He did not expect that his brother would change his previous decisiveness, abandon the ancestral property and insist on taking him to Beijing for medical treatment.
He didn't expect that he could survive even though he was coughing up blood.
When he was brought back to the Xu family, the first thing he saw was Luo Shu's curious gaze: "Isn't he almost ten years old? How come he's still so young..."
He was already extremely thin due to lung disease, and he had not grown taller in those years, so he was naturally thin and small.
But her words did not surprise him. After all, after coming to Beijing, he had become accustomed to the pitying looks of people around him.
He thought she would do the same, but he didn't expect her next words to be: "But it doesn't matter, since you are here, I will definitely make sure you are fat and plump!"
At that time, he didn't know where the Xu Mansion was, let alone Xu Rongrong's background. He just could vaguely feel that the owner seemed to have great power.
But he didn't ask anything, because after so many years of life, he learned to put away his curiosity.
My brother took me to live in his mansion. He had a lung disease and a doctor would come to see him every day. From time to time, a well-dressed doctor would come to take his pulse.
He accidentally learned that the man was actually the official physician of the Minister of Works.
Shangshu, that's a very high official. Not long after, he heard from others that the emperor had conferred the title of Princess Ping'an on Xu's sister.
During the short time he spent at the Xu Mansion, he saw the servants in the mansion change from being dismissive of the county lady, to being polite but not respectful enough, and then to being full of awe.
Every face in the mansion was changing, including his.
Only Sister Luoshu remains consistent.
She was taking good care of herself as she had promised when she first entered the mansion.
Although she and the county lord's other maid Wen Yao had different divisions of labor and were not in the mansion half of the day, she would come to the servants' room to see herself every day when she came back. Sometimes she would bring the boy's toys, and sometimes she would secretly bring him some food.
Her appearance was one of the few things he looked forward to during that time.
Afterwards, the Xu family underwent another change. The county lady left the capital, and because his brother was her bodyguard, he left with her.
Before leaving, the county lord arranged for him to move out of the servants' room and live in Wutong Courtyard to prevent him from being bullied.
During those two months, he spent every day with Sister Luo Shu.
He was a little uncomfortable at first.
But until one day...
Because the county lord was not in the mansion, all affairs were handed over to the second lady Xu Yaoyao. Sister Luo Shu was the top maidservant beside the county lord, so naturally she would not be neglected, but he... was different.
Fortunately, he has gotten used to it.
Even the cold soups are considered top-notch delicacies compared to past years.
But unexpectedly, Sister Luo Shu saw it.
She frowned: "Is this all you eat these days?"
He nodded somewhat confusedly, and the next moment he saw Sister Luo Shu pick up his bowl of soup and head straight for the kitchen.
He was so frightened that he hurriedly followed behind.
The kitchen is full of burly servants, as well as a few stout maids and handymen. How can Sister Luo Shu be a match for them!
He had just picked up a stick when he saw Sister Luo Shu hit the housekeeper on the forehead with a bowl of soup.
He cursed, "What's the matter? The Chu brothers were personally invited by the county lady! Guard Chu is protecting the county lady's safety outside, and you dare to bully his brother at home? Do you think the county lady's reputation is not good enough? Or is Guard Chu's fist not strong enough anymore?"
The old women who had been grumbling in rough voices were so frightened by Sister Luo Shu's scolding that they dared not even breathe.
He quickly said that he had neglected it in the past few days and would never do it again.
The rapid change in their expressions made him open his eyes wide in surprise, and the stick in his hand also slipped.
Sister Luo Shu noticed the movement behind her and turned around, thinking that her actions had frightened him, so she quickly came over to comfort him:
"Don't be afraid, Brother Yun. I'm not usually this fierce."
When she spoke, her face was red and her voice was soft.
At that moment, he thought: Sister Luo Shu is so beautiful...
It looks fierce and good.
Soft ones look good too.
It only takes a moment for a ten-year-old boy to go from being ignorant to being determined.
he wants……
She always looks so beautiful in front of me.
Later, the county lady fell ill and went directly from the southern suburbs farm to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and Sister Luo Shu also followed her to the mansion to take care of her.
But what kind of place is that... I heard from my brother that the Marquis' Mansion is full of men!
How could he let another man steal Sister Luo Shu's attention? Even if it was possible, it was impossible!
But the county lady is seriously ill. How can he get her to focus her attention back on him?
then……
When he discovered that the Second Young Lady had sold off many servants for money and even had other motives, he came up with an idea...
He showed up when he came to the mansion to pick someone from the young waiter's house.
He was originally a handsome young man. Under his sister's careful care, he had grown a lot taller these days. Although he was still a little thin, he was just what those people wanted.
Sure enough, the people from the brothel set their sights on him.
The others were naturally fine, but he was Guard Chu's younger brother, and the kitchen staff had been disciplined by his sister because of him, so they were all well behaved. Upon hearing the news, they immediately sent a servant to the Marquis's residence to pass on the message. Soon, he saw Sister Luo Shu again.
Maybe it was because taking care of the sick county lady was too hard, my sister lost a lot of weight and was not as energetic as before.
But she still rushed over when she heard the news.
Looking at his sister's dark circles, he felt guilty.
He lowered his head and dared not speak.
But the more this happened, the more his sister thought he was afraid, so she hugged him in her arms.
This was the first time she hugged him, and because she was so concerned about him, she didn't realize that he was actually almost as tall as her.
It wasn't so much that she was safe, but rather that they were hugging each other tightly.
His sister's body was so soft and had a light and elegant fragrance that made him feel warm in the winter.
At that moment, he felt that... cheating was not a bad thing.
