Chapter 1370: Cheng Nuo Gets Hit (6)
Cheng Fofo had been stifling her frustration all afternoon. She was entangled with the thought of whether to tell the miss, but after all, her time with the miss was short. She didn’t want to cause the miss any trouble. Unexpectedly, the miss noticed something was off, and seeing the miss’s stern expression, Fofo finally couldn’t hold back, "Miss, Xiaonuo was beaten by someone, and he is still unconscious..."
Yang Ruxin stood up abruptly, "Such a serious matter occurred, why didn’t you speak up sooner?"
"I..." Cheng Fofo bit her lip.
"Take me to Xiaonuo first." Yang Ruxin’s face was grim. Now was not the time to quibble about this, and she quickly got up and went outside.
After the siblings Cheng Nuo and Cheng Fofo came to the Dong Family, Fofo worked in the kitchen, while Cheng Nuo, being young and having previously excelled in his studies, was allowed by her grandfather to temporarily attend the Dong Family Clan School. The plan was for him to return to the county school when she came back.
The boy was supposed to take the Scholar examination last year, but because of an incident at home, it didn’t happen. Yang Ruxin wanted him to try again next year.
Since he was already twelve years old, the ancient custom of keeping boys and girls apart after seven was adhered to. Therefore, he didn’t live in Jinxiu Courtyard but stayed in an outer yard. Usually, he would come to see Yang Ruxin every other day to greet her. He was fine yesterday, but today, trouble arose.
In a side room of the front courtyard.
Cheng Nuo lay on the kang with a swollen face and a bruised nose, but he was feverish and unconscious at the moment. A servant named Moshu was using a cold compress on him to help reduce his temperature. Moshu was a servant from Dong Wenming’s study.
