Shengjing Noble

Chapter 164 Acting Crazy and Stupid

Su Lanyin was afraid that she would continue screaming, so she could only seal her acupoints and then put her on a pile of straw mats.

She squatted down to look the little beggar in the eye, and then explained: "I am not a bad person and I will not sell you. You can rest assured about this."

The little beggar frowned with a look of disbelief. It was obvious that she had been warned by someone or had experienced being deceived, so she was so wary at such a young age.

Su Lanyin patiently explained: "Do I look like a bad person?"

The little beggar stared at her seriously for a while, his eyes full of hesitation.

"I'll untie your mute point. Don't scream, okay? Just answer me a few questions, and then I'll give this to you."

As she spoke, she took out a small bunch of copper coins. Although the little beggar was young, he had a very strong reaction to silver and immediately blinked his eyes to show his cooperation.

So Su Lanyin untied her acupoints, and sure enough, the little girl pursed her lips and didn't scream.

"What's your name?" Su Lanyin asked.

"My mother calls me Xiaoyu."

"Xiaoyu, where is your mother?"

"died."

When Xiaoyu talked about her mother's death, her eyes were numb and she didn't react much, as if it was an insignificant person who died.

"How did you die?"

"do not know."

Su Lanyin was a little suspicious and continued to ask.

"where is your house?"

"In a village far, far away. I don't even know where it is."

"Then how did you get here?"

"I was kidnapped here by human traffickers, and then I pretended to be crazy and was thrown away by them."

"Pretending to be crazy and acting stupid?"

"Well, I ate garbage, coal slag, and almost ate shit, so they believed I was a fool and threw me away."

Su Lanyin took a deep breath and couldn't help feeling a little distressed for the child.

"You are so smart, how old are you now?"

"Ten years old."

"Ten years old?"

Su Lanyin was surprised because she looked only about 1.2 meters tall, not like a ten-year-old child at all.

But if you think about it carefully, she is suffering from severe malnutrition, which must be caused by not having enough food and clothes to wear on a daily basis.

"How many days have you been wandering in the capital?"

"I don't remember anything. I just remember being thrown out by the brothel people. Then I begged for food on the street. I followed whoever gave me food."

"why?"

"I want to find a good person. Are you a good person, brother?" Xiaoyu blinked her big eyes and looked at Su Lanyin, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

nice guy?

That was a lifetime ago.

She was also cruel and ruthless in her life and did many calculating things.

"I can't really call myself a good person, but I can be considered a human being." Su Lanyin said frankly.

Xiaoyu lowered her head with a frustrated look on her face: "Are you afraid that I will pester you? I eat very little..."

"What? You want to follow me?"

She found it funny. She was still a child now, so how could she take care of another child?

Xiaoyu curled her lips, looking like she was thinking seriously: "You let me have some snacks, which means you are a good person, and you are dressed so well, you must be rich. If I can follow you, I will definitely not be hungry, right?"

Su Lanyin couldn't help but chuckle, and then asked curiously: "Your mother is dead, then let me ask you, where is your father? Isn't he dead too?"

"I don't have a father." Xiaoyu said calmly.

"No father? How is that possible? Where did you come from without a father?"

"I haven't seen my father since I was born."

"Didn't your mother tell you that?"

"No, every time I asked, she would hit me, even harder than usual."

Su Lanyin frowned: "Does your mother often beat you?"

"Well, not only did he beat me but he also didn't give me food."

"How can there be such a mother in this world?"

Su Lanyin knew that not every mother loved her children very much, but at least they would not abuse their own flesh and blood.

Even if Liu Ruyan is a cruel person, wouldn't she plot against Su Lanxin and Su Shenghao?

Otherwise, why give birth to the child?

Xiaoyu looked puzzled: "But my mother is like this."

Su Lanyin felt that the child seemed to have become numb to the fact that he was not loved, and he didn't even feel the slightest bit when his mother died.

She looked like a cold-blooded animal, with a confused face but clear eyes.

But fortunately, I couldn't see anything evil in him, after all, he was still a child.

The Lu family can afford to raise a child, but... she still has a lot of things to do now, what should she do if she brings the child back?

Su Lanyin looked at Xiaoyu with a worried look on her face, with her arms folded across her chest, lost in thought.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Xiaoyu tried to open his eyes wide and looked back at her, as if to say: I will be very good!

During the struggle just now, Xiaoyu's clothes were torn even more, and the collar was slightly open, revealing half of the cracked jade ring.

Su Lanyin noticed it, then pulled open her clothes, took the pendant in her hand and looked at it carefully.

It was a jade ring that was broken into two pieces. Only the small half was on her neck, and someone had pierced a hole in it to make it a pendant.

The jade has excellent water content and is transparent and green, but it has too many cracks and is not worth much.

But how could a little beggar have such a thing? Did he pick it up?

"what is this?"

"This was my mother's. She always wore it around her neck. After she died, I put it around my neck."

Su Lanyin thought, could this jade pendant be related to her father?

"I'll ask you again. If you answer me honestly, I'll let you follow me. Otherwise, you can continue to be a beggar."

Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay, ask."

"How did your mother die?"

She looked at every expression on Xiaoyu's face very carefully, even the flash of her eyes.

The child hesitated, swallowed, and seemed a little scared.

She was struggling and struggling with her own thoughts. Finally, she took a deep breath and looked at Su Lanyin as if she had mustered up her courage.

"My mother... ate rat poison and died."

Su Lanyin's heart tightened, and without saying a word, she just pulled open her clothes and looked her up and down.

Xiaoyu looked flustered, and her voice was a little high: "What are you doing? Why are you taking off my clothes? You are not really going to sell me to a brothel, are you? Don't pull my pants..."

She became more and more frightened, and finally tears fell.

But Su Lanyin did not stop and continued to carefully examine every inch of her skin.

Sure enough, there were countless scars of all sizes on the back, legs, arms and even the buttocks.

Although some of them have healed, they still leave red marks.

It stands to reason that children have strong recovery abilities, and except for their scar-prone constitution, wounds will not leave any traces after they heal.

However, the wounds on the little fish left many marks, which showed that the wounds had healed and then opened again, and this had happened over and over again.

It seems that what she said about being often beaten by her mother was true.

After checking her, Su Lanyin put her clothes back on and asked seriously, "Why did your mother eat rat poison?"
