Chapter 280 Love Blinds People
Shen Zicen's slightly agape mouth and wide-open eyes beneath his veil clearly showed his shock.
He could hardly believe it, but at that moment he could clearly see the sincerity in Qian Duoduo's eyes.
Qian Duoduo smiled slightly and reached out to help Shen Zicen close his mouth.
Although he was wearing a veil and his face was not visible, the extent of his mouth opening was still discernible.
Qian Duoduo pulled Shen Zicen up from the stool and went out with him.
"Weren't you supposed to be watching them practice?"
"Huh? Oh~"
Shen Zicen was still in shock and hadn't recovered yet. He felt a little lightheaded, as if his feet were floating in the air.
He couldn't help but feel overjoyed; he was the first girl to tie her hair up!
Qian Duoduo noticed his excitement but didn't point it out. His curved eyebrows and light steps clearly showed his good mood.
Once inside the courtyard, everyone had already started practicing their skills.
Even the smallest stool had finished practicing the basics and was covered in sweat.
Apart from Xiao Deng, everyone else stared in disbelief as Qian Duoduo and Shen Zicen held hands.
Their eyes were filled with disdain as they looked at Qian Duoduo. They were much older than Xiao Dengzi and, over the years, they knew what kind of person she was, which was why they were so shocked.
They had witnessed this woman insulting and even hitting Shen Zicen, but Shen Zicen just endured it and did not fight back.
Some of them whispered among themselves, while others shook their heads and sighed, lamenting that such an outstanding man as Shen Zicen had fallen for this woman.
Shen Zicen saw the unfriendly looks in their eyes and wanted to step forward to explain for Qian Duoduo, but Qian Duoduo grabbed her wrist.
Qian Duoduo shook her head at him. Now, their impression of her was still that of the original owner, so any further explanation would be futile.
"Go see Niannian."
Shen Zicen glanced at them, then at Qian Duoduo, and saw her nod at him before heading to the ancestral hall.
Although he was a little reluctant, he would be back soon and wouldn't let Qian Duoduo escape.
Little Stool stared wide-eyed at Qian Duoduo. The little girl didn't understand why everyone was so hostile towards her teacher's wife. She was clearly a very kind and gentle person.
Xiao Dengzi wanted to go forward, but when she saw Shen Zicen standing next to her, she had to give up.
She was still afraid of her mentor, worried that she might do something wrong and be punished by having to run laps.
Although Shen Zicen usually treated them well, the master's authority was undeniable, and it was impossible not to be afraid.
However, the teacher's wife was different. Yesterday, when she saw that I was planning to secretly give Niannian a chicken leg, she didn't blame me, even though it ended up in my stomach.
While practicing his skills, Xiao Dengzi kept an eye on Qian Duoduo and Shen Zicen's actions out of the corner of his eye.
She noticed Shen Zicen had left, immediately stopped, and ran excitedly to Qian Duoduo, looking up and sweetly calling out, "Master's wife~"
Qian Duoduo was completely charmed by this little girl. She bent down and reached out to touch the head of the little stool.
Seeing Xiaodengzi's actions, the others wished they had been quicker and grabbed him.
They were all terrified, worried that Qian Duoduo would slap Xiao Dengzi across the face at any moment.
But Xiaodengzi didn't seem afraid of Qian Duoduo. She beckoned to Qian Duoduo with her finger, signaling her to come closer.
Qian Duoduo also turned her head to make it easier for Xiaozheng to whisper.
"I saved some meat buns for Niannian. Could you please give them to her, Master's wife?"
Qian Duoduo raised an eyebrow, moved the small stool to the side, and pulled her into her arms.
"Little stool, aren't you afraid I'll tell your master?"
Xiao Dengzi's big eyes darted around. "If Master's wife wanted to say something, Master would have punished me last night."
Qian Duoduo looked at the little stool with amusement. What an adorable little girl! Why did her own boyfriend only think about kicking her out?
"Eat the meat buns, and I'll go to the kitchen to get some for Niannian."
Xiao Dengzi clutched the hem of her clothes in distress. She hadn't been able to share the hardships with Niannian last night, and she had specially saved meat buns for her this morning.
"Little stool, be good. Your teacher promises you, I will make sure you get to eat meat buns."
Little Stool looked at Qian Duoduo's bright smile and nodded happily.

"Have you reflected on your actions?"
Shen Zicen pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and saw Niannian sitting obediently on the prayer mat.
Niannian didn't look up, but kept muttering something to herself.
Shen Zicen assumed she was reciting a calming mantra, which he had instructed everyone in the escort agency to learn, precisely to keep them calm and composed.
However, if Shen Zicen were to get any closer, he could clearly hear Nian Nian saying, "Braised pork, braised pork hock, beggar's chicken..."
I'll make sure she eats everything when she gets out.
Thinking about it, Nian Nian swallowed hard, then looked up at Shen Zicen.
“Father A-Cen, that… she… I don’t like her. She hits people, and…”
After much hesitation, Niannian finally spoke up.
Shen Zicen frowned upon hearing this and interrupted Nian Nian, saying, "I like her."
He didn't like people saying bad things about her, especially since it wasn't her doing it at all, and she shouldn't have to take the blame for that woman.
That's not her.
Shen Zicen thought for a moment, then added another sentence before leaving the ancestral hall.
He just came to check on things. Seeing the empty bowl next to Niannian, he knew she had eaten breakfast.
He didn't have much time to argue with her about who was who; he was in a hurry to go back and be with Duoduo.
Niannian looked at Shen Zicen, who showed no sign of lingering, and turned away, quietly drawing circles in her mind.
He used to stay with me for a long time, even if he didn't say anything, he would just stay by my side.
But now he only said two words and left. Sure enough, love blinds people.
As for how she knew this phrase, it was because Wang Cheng kept repeating it to her.
She always said this to every father, saying that they had a hard life and shouldn't easily trust others.
She knew that every time that woman pretended to be sick or said something nonsensical, those fathers would come looking for her.
She didn't understand why, but she would hear this sentence every time she was sent to Wang Cheng.
