Chapter 112 How could Ah Ying just sit there and do nothing?
"What happened to Yiren Pavilion?" Xie Chengyi was sitting in the study, his brows slightly moved, and his tone was calm.

Zhan Li stood guard, "There is a little girl in the backyard of Yiren Pavilion, she is injured."

Xie Chengyi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the voice.

Then, there was silence for a few seconds.

"Tell people to watch from a distance and don't let Aying find out." Xie Chengyi gave the order without explaining his emotions.

"Yes."

Since Aying didn't tell him immediately, she must have her own plans, and he believed her.

***
The night was cold, and Aying went to Yiren Pavilion early in the morning and specifically asked Su Jian to bring some cotton clothes.

When I entered the backyard, I saw Zuo Mei picking up the bloody clothes.

"Leave these here!" A Ying said to Zuo Mei who was about to throw away the bloody clothes.

“?” Zuo Mei was stunned. Stay?

"It's useful." Aying didn't explain much.

"Yes."

"Is she awake?" Aying asked attentively.

Zuo Mei sighed and said in distress: "I had nightmares all night and I haven't woken up yet."

Gently pushing the door open, Aying walked in slowly.

"Go buy some things she might need later, and tell Nanny Shen to bring some to her after the meal is ready." Aying was instructing Su Jian.

Suddenly, there was a hurried rustling sound.

At a glance, I saw the little girl looking at Aying and Su Jian in horror. Every time she moved, it seemed that her body was in great pain, but she still shivered in fear and looked at them with hostility.

"You're awake?" Su Jian couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Ah Ying signaled Su Jian to move more gently, then looked at the little girl and said softly, "It's safe here, no one will hurt you."

The little girl looked at Aying, her eyes still sizing her up.

"Don't worry, there are no outsiders here." Aying slowly approached the little girl.

Su Jian pointed at the little girl's body and said with a look of distress: "Don't be afraid, you are seriously injured now and need to rest."

Perhaps because she saw kindness in Aying and Su Jian's eyes, the little girl's originally frightened eyes gradually showed a hint of temptation.

"My name is Aying. As long as you don't want to leave, you can stay here. The key is, I have to be able to help you..." Aying spoke in a gentle tone, trying to ease the little girl's anxiety.

When she heard that she didn't have to leave, the little girl curled her lips and the tears she had been holding back burst out bit by bit.

"Don't be afraid..." Aying had already walked to the bedside and sat down gently. Only then could he see how intense the fear was in the little girl's eyes.

The little girl was still looking at Aying and Su Jian.

Su Jian gently handed the cotton coat to someone closer to her and said lovingly, "You are wearing too thin. Here is a new cotton coat made specially for us girls. Put it on first and don't get cold."

Looking at the neatly folded new cotton coat, the little girl was overwhelmed and burst into tears.

Su Jian wanted to coax her, but A Ying stopped her.

"Let her cry. Maybe she will feel better after crying..." Aying said softly.

It was not until the little girl felt dizzy from crying that he slowly calmed down.

Aying just looked at her, without saying anything or moving.

The little girl rubbed her eyes vigorously, and her already red and swollen eyes became even redder. She looked at Aying intently.

Ah Ying smiled faintly, "Are you feeling better?"

"Gurgle--gurgle" suddenly, a sound came from the little girl's stomach.

The little girl was startled and quickly covered herself with the quilt and lowered her head.

Ah Ying softly ordered, "Su Jian, go and bring in the food box that Nanny Shen sent."

Aying looked at the little girl and asked tentatively, "What's your name?" The little girl still didn't answer.

After a while, Su Jian came in with a food box, opened the lid, and brought out the food bowl by bowl.

The little girl was probably very hungry. She looked at the table anxiously and looked at Aying vigilantly.

Ah Ying bowed and said to her, "Let's go eat first. We can talk after we're full."

Su Jian quickly said, "Don't move, I'll move the things over."

As he spoke, he placed a small table on the bed and moved all the food over there.

A Ying was afraid that the little girl would feel embarrassed to eat, so she and Su Jian quietly retreated to the back behind the screen.

The little girl didn't care about anything else and started eating with big mouthfuls, like a frightened deer, with a defensive look and posture at all times.

Only after she burped after eating so much did the little girl wipe her mouth with satisfaction.

Su Jian packed up her things silently without saying a word.

Aying also looked at the little girl from afar with gentle eyes.

"If you are tired, just take a nap first. You can talk whenever you want." Aying said considerately without forcing her.

Just as Ah Ying was about to turn around, the little girl seemed to muster up great courage and whispered, "My name is Shengsheng."

A Ying looked at Su Jian in shock, and then they turned around.

"Can you please tell me what happened to you?" Aying asked tentatively.

As soon as these words were spoken, Shengsheng's tears began to fall like beads from a broken string.

Ah Ying stepped forward with some distress, not knowing whether she should reach out to comfort him, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

Unexpectedly, Shengsheng threw herself into Aying's arms with tears in her eyes.

Looking at Shengsheng who was crying uncontrollably, Ah Ying couldn't help but stroke her head and said softly: "It's okay, it's okay..."

After crying for a while, Shengsheng felt less depressed.

"My name is Shengsheng, and I'm from Houde Village." Shengsheng's voice was as soft as a mosquito.

Su Jian knew a little about this village, and whispered to A Ying: "This Houde Village is very famous. There are many virtuous and respected people in the village. It is very prestigious in Northern Jin."

Shengsheng felt pained and bitter when listening to Su Jian's introduction, "Highly respected? They are just a bunch of beasts!"

Ah Ying's heart was shocked.

"I'm nine years old. My mother had no children in her life. She gave birth to four sisters, and I am the third oldest. All these injuries on my body were caused by them!" When Shengsheng talked about these things, there seemed to be endless anger rising in his eyes.

"That year, I was only four years old, and my father disregarded human ethics and took me..." Shengsheng was already shaking all over before he could finish those words.

Ah Ying quickly went to hug her, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it!"

Unexpectedly, Shengsheng looked at Ah Ying with great confidence, "I want to say it!

My father did these beastly things, and my mother not only did not protect me, but also said that I could no longer marry into a good family, and even blatantly collected money in the village. No matter whether it was the uncles and aunts who were usually well-behaved, or the aunts and cousins ​​who I thought would not do bad things, and even the great grandfathers who were usually worshipped, they all treated me - I hate them! I hate being born into this world even more!"

Shengsheng's words made Ah Ying cover her mouth with a handkerchief, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably with anger.

She knew there were beasts, but she never expected that her parents were even worse than beasts. Shengsheng was only four years old, and they were so cruel!

What is most speechless is those demons who consider themselves her relatives. Each and every one of them dragged her into the abyss with their own hands!

"These things are worse than beasts! I will cut them into pieces!" Su Jian's eyes were bloodshot with anger.

Ah Ying looked at Sheng Sheng steadily, "Then why don't you go to the authorities?"

"I still have a younger sister... They said that if I leave, my sister will suffer for me..." Shengsheng sobbed and cried, feeling hopeless.

Ah Ying's eyes trembled.

"A few days ago, my sister was four years old. She told me that her father touched her. I was afraid that my sister would fall into the same situation, so I tried my best to find the government. However, I didn't expect that those people in the government had already been bribed by those respected people. I had no choice but to flee in a hurry. Sister Aying, please, can you save my sister! She is only four years old!" Shengsheng knelt on the bed and kowtowed to Aying. He was unwilling to stop even when his scalp was broken.

All the blood in Ah Ying's body had rushed to her brain, and she couldn't remain indifferent.

Even if Xie Chengyi scolded her, she would still do it, "I will take care of this matter!"
