After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Chapter 19 She Wants to Protect Him

Wei Zi closed his eyes.

She couldn't imagine how Xiao Fengxian spent these 15 years.

When he was sent to the academy when he was young, what would it be like when his background was exposed in public?
Did he grovel and be bullied by everyone in those years?

Bearing such a background, even if he went to Shangjing later, even if he was hand-picked as Tanhualang, he was still not tolerated by other officials of the court.

Xiao Fengxian is too perfect, from skin to talent, he is perfectly envied by others, so his birth has become the only place that others can attack him.

It seems that as long as he is the son of a prostitute, they can trample him under their feet for the rest of their lives.

Wei Zi suddenly understood the origin of Xiao Fengxian's weird personality.

Wei Zi's heart was sore as she tightly clutched the handkerchief with thin white fingers.

The scholars around were still pointing and pointing, as if trying to crush the young man's spine with gossip.

Wei Zi couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward quickly, grabbed Xiao Fengxian's hand, and protected him tightly behind her.

Xiao Fengxian couldn't believe it: "Sister-in-law?"

He could clearly feel that Wei Zi's hands were shaking, and a layer of hot sweat emerged from his palm, sticking to his fingers, as hot as her tears.

He smiled: "They are all scolding me, sister-in-law, you are so close to me, you will be scolded too."

Wei Zi refused to let go.

She held it so tightly and firmly, as if no matter what kind of storms and thunders she will face next, she will not regret it, let alone be afraid.

She stared at Shen Chunqiu: "Fortunately, Shen Shilang has read the books of sages and sages. He is a man of knowledge and talents. How come he has never heard the phrase 'There is no one to teach'?" I’ve never heard that he despises anyone whose background is not good. Why did he become picky when he came to Shen Shilang? Could it be that Shen Shilang is more knowledgeable than Confucius?!”

The girl's voice was soft and waxy, but her tone was sonorous and powerful.

The surrounding discussions gradually stopped.

Everyone was amazed.

Xiao Fengxian's sister-in-law is so courageous, even County Magistrate Chen dare not talk to Shen Shilang like that, she is desperate!
Shen Chunqiu did not expect that one day, his dignified servant would be questioned in public by a village woman.

He raised his eyebrows, stood up abruptly, pointed at Wei Zi with his crutches and cursed: "What a village woman, how dare she offend her and be so rude to this old man! His mother is a brothel woman, a brothel woman, how dirty that is!" Dirty is despised by people! Since he has such a mother, even he is unclean! How can I, an upright scholar, accept such a student and let him tarnish his reputation?! Don’t say it’s me, anyone else A scholar is not ashamed to accept such a student!"

"Shen Shilang is full of knowledge. Although I am a country woman who has not read a few books, I also know that people can't choose their own origin. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone be a prince?" Wei Zi retorted, "What's more, the brothel So what about women, are they self-willed and humble? As an official of the court, you should love the people like your own son. You don’t want to save the people’s lives, so why do you despise them instead? Is this your way of being an official?!”

Wei Zi spoke loudly, each question was more acute than the last.

The audience was silent.

Everyone stared at her blankly.

Xiao Fengxian was silent, staring at Wei Zi with extremely complicated eyes.

His widow and sister-in-law stood firmly beside him, firmly holding his hand.

The dodder flower, which was supposed to be attached to the big tree, bravely protected him behind him.

In his 15 years of life, this was the first time someone protected him.

His widow...

Even though she was so petite and soft, her whole body seemed to emit a soft and hazy light, tough and affectionate, chaste and gentle, which made him reluctant to look away.

sister-in-law...

There was silence.

Xiao Dujuan pinched Xing Qianri's arm nervously: "Damn it, this bitch offended Shen Shilang, she will bring disaster to our family! I said a long time ago, this bitch should be beaten to death!"

Xing Qianri was equally terrified.

He is coveting Wei Zi's beauty, but he doesn't love her, so he shouldn't be troubled by Wei Zi!

He swallowed, and hurriedly said: "I think, let's run away quickly! If Shen Shilang accuses our family, let's say we don't know, and say she has nothing to do with us!"

Xiao Dujuan nodded quickly, and ran away quietly with Xing Qianri.

Chen Ruixiang also stared at Wei Zi.

She made a "bah" sound: "I don't know how to live or die!"

"Really?" There was enthusiasm in Chen Zijing's eyes, "I think such a woman is very charming. Perhaps, she should not be just a plaything."

"Then what else?" Chen Ruixiang glared at him, "Brother, don't forget, you are an official son, and she is just a widow without a father and no mother. My brother appreciates her courage, but he can't accept her if he dies." As a concubine, as for the position of the main wife, she is absolutely unworthy."

Chen Zijing tapped the fan handle on her palm.

Wei Zi's figure is reflected in the dark pupils. This little widow is not only beautiful, but also gentle, virtuous, tough and brave. Judging from his countless experiences in reading women, this kind of woman is hard to come by. After that, he will be able to serve him and his parents well, and he will also be able to serve his wife well in the future.

Chen Zijing felt itchy in her heart.

Perhaps, he should invite a matchmaker to come to the door to take a concubine in a serious manner.

Everyone present had different thoughts.

Shen Chunqiu's face was flushed with embarrassment, and the sweat on his back wet his robe.

He pointed at Wei Zi's face: "A village woman with long hair and short knowledge! How can this old man be an official, need you to make a beak?! Get out, get out of here! Don't dirty the old man's place!"

The bookboy dug out a pear wood saving box.

It was a gift from Wei Zi.

The book boy threw the saving box into the yard, and said proudly: "Take it away, and I'd be ashamed to send up such a poor thing, my adults don't like it!"

The box fell on the ground, the lid was opened, and the pastries inside were scattered all over the floor.

The flower cake made of glutinous rice is white, soaked in thick icing sugar, and wrapped with carefully cooked flower petals and bean paste fillings. It takes a lot of thought at first glance.

Now it's soiled and dirty.

Scattered laughter came from all around.
