"Mom, I'm fine, please go."

Lu Xiao snorted: "When did the relationship between your mother and son become so good?"

No one answered for a long time, then he continued: "Didn't you hear that they asked you to leave? Do you really think of yourself as his mother?"

Meng Liu raised her eyes and glanced at him: "The child is older. If you have anything to say, talk to him. Don't hit him easily."

Lu Xiao became even more angry when he heard that this woman wanted to teach him how to do things. He raised his whip and said, "I can beat my seed however I want."

Seeing that the whip was about to come down again, Lu Peifeng's heartbeat stopped for a beat. It didn't matter to him that he was beaten. He was used to it anyway, but he didn't want Meng Liu to see him like this, whether it was out of pride or something else. In short, I just don’t want him to see me like this.

Lu Peifeng closed his eyes tightly, but the expected whip did not hit him.

He opened his eyes tremblingly, and his eyes were blocked by the woman's figure. It was her, she caught Lu Xiao's whip! Suddenly, his eyes became a little sore, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

He thought that his biological mother was beaten to death by Lu Xiao in front of him! He was young at that time and did not have the courage to stand up and protect his mother. He regretted this incident countless times at night. Even though he was only five years old at the time, he still felt guilty.

The same scene happened again. This time he didn't want to be the child blocked behind him. He had grown up and he could protect her!

The scene Lu Peifeng imagined did not appear, because Meng Liu tightly grasped Lu Xiao's whip. She pulled hard, causing Lu Xiao to fall forward two steps.

"There's no need for you to meddle in other people's business!" Lu Xiao became angry in embarrassment.

Meng Liu sneered: "I will only say this once, don't do anything to him again."

"What if I insist on it?"

"You can try."

Lu Peifeng looked at her with bright eyes and his heart was warm. He subconsciously said, "If something happens to me, don't blame... her."

Lu Xiao looked at this loving mother and son with cold eyes, and became so angry that he couldn't hold it back any longer. He wanted to beat these two people to death.

Meng Liu originally wanted to save him some face in front of the children, but if this man insisted on provoking him in person, she couldn't blame her. She put away the whip directly, went up to the first two ears and scraped it.

Lu Xiao quickly blocked it with his elbow, and the slap that was supposed to be on the face hit his arm. It was painful, which showed how much force the woman exerted.

He glared over.

Meng Liu frowned: "Why are you staring? I'm going to hit you!"

"哐哐" was slapped again. This time Lu Xiao didn't expect it at all. By the time he reflexively tried to hide, it was already too late. These two slaps really landed on the face.

This time he was not only humiliated, but also lost his dignity in front of his son. Lu Xiao's chest heaved violently with anger, and he asked through his teeth: "It seems that our agreement does not include him!"

"It doesn't include him, but" Meng Liu remained unmoved, "Who said you can't beat me? The strong make the rules, understand?"

Lu Xiao's teeth were itching with hatred, but there was really nothing he could do to her. He had practiced martial arts for many years and had fought countless times on the battlefield. Now that he was crushed by a woman, he really lost all his dignity.

Lu Peifeng's mouth opened into a small O shape, as if he was shocked by this scene and could not react.

Meng Liu took his hand and said, "Let's go and ignore him."

Lu Peifeng was confused and led out of the study by him. Lu Xiao did not stop him and could not stop him.

Shen Zhou and Yuan Xiang looked at each other and followed him with confused expressions.

All the way past the front yard.

Meng Liu let go of his hand and turned to look at him: "Go back and ask Shen Zhou to ask a doctor to give you some medicine. If he troubles you again in the future, he will come to me."

Lu Peifeng said nothing, but Shen Zhou reacted immediately: "Thank you, madam!"

Meng Liu waved his hand and left with Yuan Xiang.

Shen Zhou touched Lu Peifeng with his elbow: "Master, Master, you have come to your senses."

He has been staring at Madam's back here for a long time, and she has already left. Lu Peifeng seemed to have just come to his senses and followed Shen Zhou back to his yard in a daze.

Lying on the tub, he suddenly asked: "Shen Zhou, when you say mother... what do you mean?"

Mentioning this Shen Zhou got him excited: "Master, are you talking about Madam? I don't know Madam well, but last time you were cold and I went to save you this time, I think Madam is a good person."

Lu Peifeng still couldn't figure it out: "Why does she treat me so well?"

Shen Zhou was in trouble: "It's probably because you are the only heir of the Marquis."

Lu Peifeng was silent, right? He was kind to him because he was the only heir? But neither his grandmother nor his father were so kind to him.

*

Early the next morning, Meng Liu was still dressing up.

"Madam, the young master is outside."

Meng Liu's hand paused: "What is he here for?"

Yuan Xiang was about to speak but stopped: "I said I came to have breakfast with my mother."

This makes sense. It is normal for a son to come to greet his mother and have breakfast with her. But they are not mother and son. Meng Liu thought about it and felt that this man should come to thank her.

Breakfast was served. Because Lu Peifeng joined us today, the kitchen made more. A table was spread out with a dazzling array of items.

Lu Peifeng stood behind her consciously, wanting to serve her.

"No, you sit down and eat too."

He didn't refuse. After sitting down, he ate absentmindedly and looked at her secretly from time to time.

Meng Liu: "..."

Boy, your gaze is really direct!

"What's wrong? Do you have anything to say?" she asked him after taking a sip of soup.

Lu Peifeng's eating movements immediately stopped, and he lowered his eyebrows: "Why...why did you help me yesterday?"

Meng Liu raised his eyebrows, what else could it be because he felt sorry for you, but he couldn't say this directly, it would hurt his self-esteem.

She thought for a moment and replied: "If you want to help, just help. There is no reason."

Lu Peifeng obviously didn't believe this answer, but he was very obedient. Since she said this, she must have a reason. It is not the behavior of a gentleman to forcefully ask questions.

Meng Liu gave him a piece of steamed cake, and Lu Peifeng looked doubtful.

"Don't you like eating this? I see you eat a lot."

The tips of Lu Peifeng's ears suddenly turned red, and he whispered: "Thank you."

She is so attentive, maybe even Shen Zhou doesn't know that he likes to eat steamed cakes, but she noticed this little detail after one meal. Does that mean that she really cares about him?

The breakfast was finished quickly.

The two people were cleaned by a maid and a servant respectively.

Lu Peifeng had to go to the Imperial College to attend classes, so he stood up and saluted: "Then I will leave first."

"Okay, you don't need to take what happened yesterday to heart." Meng Liu smiled, subtext: Don't come to me in the future, I'm very busy.
