219 Don’t Look at What You Shouldn’t Look at

It was not easy for Little Cat to have a chance to go to school. How could he be willing to let it be ruined by these people?

He crawled out of the dog hole and ran all the way to Bai Wutong’s house.

Little Cat panted and cried. “Madam Bai, Master Chu, please help my mother. They are even breaking our house.”

When Bai Wutong came out of the room, she frowned and said, “Take your time to speak. Don’t be anxious.”

When Little Cat heard Bai Wutong’s gentle voice, he felt an urge to cry. He sobbed. “They are forcing me to drop out of school and asked me to give up the spot at Qinghe Academy. They are even fighting for the spot at our door. The fence in our front yard had collapsed.”

Everyone wanted their children to enter Qinghe Academy. Even if Little Cat dropped out of school, there would only be one more spot. At first, everyone were only cursing at each other before they started to fight.

Tao Yinzhen hid in the house with the kitten. They united again and asked Tao Yinzhen who she wanted to give this position to.

It seemed that no matter what, the spot at Qinghe Academy was theirs.

Little Cat did not want to trouble Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao, but he was just a child after all. When he saw his mother being bullied, he was helpless and could only come and ask for help.

Bai Wutong’s brows furrowed. “Your mother rejected them, and they threatened you?”

Little Cat’s eyes were filled with tears. “I hit them with a rock and said that I would report it to the authorities, but they still didn’t leave. My maternal grandfather even hit my mother with a stick and said that she was unfilial. But previously they even said that they wouldn’t lend us a single grain of rice since their daughter was like water poured out after marrying.” His heart was filled with indignation and resentment towards those people.

Now that it was ancient times, when the mounting pressure of filial piety was used against them, Father Tao would be considered reasonable even if he was unreasonable. Even if Tao Yinzhen resisted, with their blood relations, they could not cut off from Father Tao’s entanglement.

Bai Wutong sympathized with Little Cat and his mother a lot and wanted to help him.

If Qingfeng took action, she could only chase these people away for the time being. As long as Little Cat was still in Qinghe Academy, they would definitely not let it go.

The matter still needed to be resolved at its root.

Bai Wutong took Little Cat to the academy and asked Mr. Liu about the situation.

Soon, Bai Wutong learned from Mr. Liu that once the enrollment period of Qinghe Academy ended, even if there were students who temporarily dropped out, they would not be accepting new students. It was to prevent a situation like what Little Cat was experiencing.

Bai Wutong said to the kitten, “Go back now and tell them that even if you drop out of school, the academy won’t take in any more students. When everyone finds out, they’ll leave your family alone.”

Little Cat looked at Bai Wutong pitifully. Tears flowed out from his eyes again. “They are not listening to me at all.”

Wiping the tears from his face with a handkerchief, she comforted him gently. “Shall we accompany you?”

Little Cat immediately smiled through his tears. “Thank you, Madam Bai and Master Chu. They will definitely listen to you.”

At this moment, Yang Quanzi walked towards them with a group of people.

Yang Quanzi wanted to introduce them to Qu Yuanxian’s eldest son, Qu Liangyu. When he found out that Little Cat had been forced to drop out of school, Yang Quanzi stroked his beard and said angrily, “I’ll go with you.”

Little Cat’s eyes widened. If the academy director went with him, no one would dare to doubt the authenticity of his words.

Before Bai Wutong reached Little Cat’s family door, she heard Tao Yinzhen’s heart-wrenching cries.

Little Cat’s heart tightened as he rushed home agitatedly. “Mother! Mother! Mother!”

He saw a scene that made his heart ache.

Tao Yinzhen was grabbed by the hair and pressed to the ground by Father Tao. The others took advantage of the chaos to tear Tao Yinzhen apart. Some despicable women even pulled at the clothes on Tao Yinzhen’s chest.

Her cheeks were bleeding and she was in a sorry state, like a fish at the mercy of others after reaching shore.

Tao Yinzhen, who was in despair, couldn’t understand why fate wouldn’t let her off after she tried her best to live.

Little Cat was like a ferocious wolf as he roared at everyone who had barged into his house to commit the act. “You’re bullying my mother! I’ll definitely kill you!”

Father Tao stood up and grabbed Little Cat’s collar. “Little brat, I’m your grandfather. Who are you shouting at?!”

Little Cat bit Father Tao’s wrist. Father Tao was in pain and raised his hand to give Little Cat a big slap.

“Pa—”

Before his hand could land, Father Tao was slapped away by Chu Tianbao.

Everyone looked over in unison and saw a bright red handprint on Father Tao’s face. It was swollen and bleeding from the corners of his mouth and nose. It was terrifying.

They subconsciously took a step back, afraid that Chu Tianbao’s hand would land on their faces in the next second.

The dignified Chu Tianbao stood in front of the mother and son and protected them. It was as if a god had descended to save them. Tao Yinzhen’s heart trembled. She looked at his back and whispered in a daze, “Master Chu…”

Now that she was practicing martial arts, Bai Wutong’s ears were sharp. Tao Yinzhen’s infatuated voice entered her ears.

Her gaze landed on Tao Yinzhen’s face, accurately capturing the reliance and infatuation in her eyes. She instantly frowned.

Chu Tianbao had a handsome face that women were obsessed with. He was gentle and considerate to Bai Wutong and listened to everything she said.

Tao Yinzhen’s own husband, on the other hand, had been violent to her all year round. Even now, he had become a cripple. She had indulged in Chu Tianbao’s care for Little Cat, which was the straw that drowning people yearned to grasp.

However, her revealing such thoughts and coveting Chu Tianbao still made her very unhappy. An extremely strong frustration brewed in her heart.

Bai Wutong walked forward and took off her cloak to cover Tao Yinzhen. She warned her directly, “Lady Tao, don’t look at what you shouldn’t.”

When Tao Yinzhen discovered Bai Wutong, she had already restrained her emotions. She never expected that Bai Wutong would notice her.

She panicked, as if ten million ants were biting her heart, and pretended not to understand. “What did Madam Bai say? I don’t understand.”

Bai Wutong had done them a favor. Tao Yinzhen knew that she should not have any thoughts towards Chu Tianbao, but who could control her feelings?

It was the only time she fell for someone, but Bai Wutong’s warning made her terrified and indignant.

In a voice only the two of them could hear, Bai Wutong said unhurriedly, “It’s best if you don’t understand.”

It was clearly a gentle sentence, but it made Tao Yinzhen feel a chill run down her spine.

In an instant, her intuition told her that if she really dared to have any ill intentions, she would definitely be subdued.

Now that their lives had finally improved, it would return to before.

It would be even more miserable and terrifying than before.

Tao Yinzhen’s eyes widened in fear as she glanced at Chu Tianbao, hoping that he would sense Bai Wutong’s cruelty under her gentle mask.

This woman was not a good person at all. She just wanted the people around her to compliment her for her hypocrisy.

However, how could she want to know that whether Bai Wutong was cruel, cold, or gentle, Chu Tianbao only had eyes for her?
