Siheyuan: This is really immoral

Lou's mother said quickly, "Okay, you take a good rest. I'll have someone bring it to you right away. Just take a good rest."

There was no one present who didn't know what Lou's mother meant. The room where Lou Xiao'e was also fell silent. It was obvious that she was too shy to hear anything.

When Lou's mother did not come back for a long time, the usually calm Lou Bancheng could not help but doubt his own judgment. Finally, he could not sit still and got up from his chair to see whether Lin Zhuang was so brave.

When Lou Bancheng came out, he saw that Lou's mother and Chen's mother seemed to be talking to Lin Zhuang at the door of Lou Xiao'e's room. Lou Xiao'e was nowhere to be seen. Lou Bancheng, furious, picked up the broom beside him and walked towards Lin Zhuang. With a gloomy face, he shouted loudly:

"You are such a good fellow, Lin Zhuang. You ignored my words, didn't you? I will beat you to death today! How dare you bully my daughter like this..."

Before Lou's mother and Chen's mother could react, Lou Bancheng, who was getting angrier and angrier, had already picked up a broom and hit Lin Zhuang.

It happened so fast that Lin Zhuang could not fight back. He dodged quickly while saying:

"Uncle, what are you doing? Why are you hitting me with something out of nowhere? Stop first, let's talk..."

"Who do you call your uncle? There is no uncle here! I can talk to you nicely, but let me beat you to death first."

Lin Zhuang looked at Lou's father who was obviously furious, smiled bitterly and dodged Lou Bancheng's broom attack without slowing down.

Again and again, even Lou's mother and Chen's mother, who had reacted nearby, had no chance to hold him back. Fortunately, Lou Bancheng was not young anymore, and the continuous and violent blows had exhausted him. Although he held the broom in his hand, it still hung weakly on the ground.

Mother Lou finally found an opportunity to support Lou Bancheng, who was bent over and gasping for breath, and said:

"What are you doing? Why do you want to hit someone as soon as you leave the room?"

Lou Bancheng had already sensed something was wrong when he stopped. After all, Lin Zhuang's clothes were neatly dressed. But to save face, he still said:

"It's all his fault!"

Lin Zhuang asked in confusion: "Uncle, wasn't he fine last night? And what good could I have done to make you behave like this so early in the morning?"

Lou Bancheng blew his nose and stopped talking. Lou's mother, who knew Lou Bancheng well, saw his tone and guessed that Lou Bancheng might have some misunderstanding, so she whispered to him:

"What are you doing? Lin Zhuang just came down to have breakfast, he didn't do anything else..."

"I saw you guys surrounding him, and I thought he was messing with Xiao'e again early in the morning."

Lou Bancheng glanced at him awkwardly. Lou's mother held her forehead and muttered to him, "Hurry up and find a reason to explain this."

Just as Lou Bancheng was thinking about what else he needed to explain to him, Lou Xiao'e inside asked, "What were you doing outside just now?"

Lou Bancheng didn't want his daughter to know about this, as she would be blamed, so he immediately shouted inside: "Xiao'e, it's nothing, there was a little mouse running around on the ground just now."

Lou Xiao'e stopped her move to go out and check what was going on. She said in fear, "Rat? Quick...quickly kill it."

Lou's mother also said to her, "Xiao'e, you can have a rest. The mouse has been killed by your father. We will ask the family to do a thorough cleaning later to see if there are any more."

"Okay, just kill him, then I won't go out to watch."

Fortunately, Lou Xiao'e's idea of ​​coming out was finally stopped. Lou Bancheng then handed the broom in his hand to Chen Ma, stood up, straightened his clothes which were messy because he thought he had just "beat someone up", and said to Lin Zhuang:

"I misunderstood just now. Let's go downstairs to eat?"

Lin Zhuang looked at Lou Bancheng with strange eyes and stopped asking questions. He had already made some guesses from the behavior of Lou's mother and Chen's mother lying at the door early in the morning, and he was basically sure why Lou Bancheng did this.

Then the group went downstairs to wash up and prepare breakfast.

After Lin Zhuang finished washing up, he took a basin of water from a servant and brought it upstairs for Lou Xiao'e to wash up.

When I opened the door, I found that Lou Xiao'e was no longer asleep. Instead, she was leaning on the stool on the dressing table, watching the chirping sparrows outside the window.

When she noticed the sound of Lin Zhuang opening the door behind her, she turned around, opened her arms, and said, "My body is sore, I want you to hold me while I wash up."

Lin Zhuang placed the small basin on Lou Xiao'e's dressing table and the towel on the shelf beside her, then reached out and held Lou Xiao'e in his arms.

Lou Xiao'e stopped Lin Zhuang from wiping her face, hugged Lin Zhuang's neck, buried her little face in Lin Zhuang's neck, and said sadly:

"I wish we could be like those two little birds outside the window, free and able to stay wherever we want and fly wherever we want."

Lin Zhuang knew what she meant when he heard it. He put the towel aside, patted her back gently, and said comfortingly:

"Although we have been separated for several years, as long as we love each other, we will always believe that love can withstand all difficulties and can even cross mountains and seas. We will both work hard in our respective places so that in the future, whether you and your parents return to the city or I go to Hong Kong Island, we will have a solid foundation."

Lou Xiao'e's emotions came and went quickly. She just lay quietly for a few minutes after Lin Zhuang finished speaking, then stood up and playfully ordered:

"Xiao Linzi, why don't you prepare some toiletries for me?"

"Lou Xiao'e, you actually dare to have feudal ideas. I will bring you to justice!"

The two of them were washing up while flirting with each other. Of course, when they finished washing up, there were water stains everywhere on the floor of the room, which clearly showed that the two of them had not been quiet for a moment.

"Xiao'e, you're already up, do you want to go downstairs to eat?"

"I already told you, I don't want it..."

Lin Zhuang looked at her shy look and laughed.

Seeing Lin Zhuang in such a desperate state, Lou Xiao'e imitated the way an adult would bully a child, gently tapped Lin Zhuang on the head, and said:

"How dare you laugh? It's all because of you!"

Afterwards, after making sure that Lou Xiao'e knew not to go downstairs to eat, Lin Zhuang went downstairs by himself. At this time, Lou Bancheng and Lou's mother were already sitting at the dining table downstairs waiting for them to come down to eat.

"Uncle and aunt, Xiao'e wants to rest more. Can I bring her breakfast later?"

The Lou family's breakfast was not luxurious at all. It consisted of a few translucent fried golden pancakes, some porridge, and some pickles.

But there is a plain egg on each person's seat.
