Chapter 52 The students skip class collectively(1/2)
After the party was over, Liu Ce regretted and wanted to slap himself twice.
Although his impression of Ning Fu had greatly improved, there were too many rumors about Ning Fu during this period, which made him somewhat suspicious of Ning Fu.
But today, he was forced to have no way out, and Liu Ce was too aggressive, so he asked everyone to go outside the epidemic area to wait for Ning Fu tomorrow.
"If Ning Fu doesn't come out tomorrow, I will lose face and my sister will be a widow!"
Liu Ce whispered, then stomped away from Taixue.
Now that the city's blockade has been lifted, people are allowed to go out to buy some food supplies. The food in the city has been rising three times a day, and there are complaints from the people, but the court has no energy to pay attention to it.
There were still very few pedestrians on the streets.
Most of the smallpox patients found in the city were concentrated in the east, and I heard that the epidemic areas there were already connected.
People in other areas never dare to go out as long as there is someone who stutters at home.
It was getting late, and Liu Zheng was still busy in the office room.
His life was also very difficult during this period. His immediate boss, Cai Jing, kept making trouble for him and dumped all the hard work on him.
Colleagues and subordinates are also waiting to see Liu Zheng's joke.
Especially after the rumors about Ning Fu emerged, even some petty officials began to gossip behind Liu Zhengchuan's back.
I finally finished handling the matters at hand.
Liu Zheng stood up and stretched his body, and was about to open the door and call the clerk to take away the official documents.
But suddenly I heard voices outside.
"Have you heard that Liu Tuiguan's son-in-law not only plagiarized poems, but also practiced sorcery in an attempt to deceive the officials?"
A clerk's deliberately low voice came from outside.
"Of course I heard about it, and I also heard that Ning Fu was stupid enough to put himself in danger and led a group of prisoners into the epidemic area. He still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!"
The voice of another clerk came.
“I’ve seen a lot of liars, but it’s very rare to see liars who are stupid enough to involve themselves in it!”
"The sky has changed. The Queen Mother has passed away, and the official family is too young, so all kinds of monsters and ghosts dare to jump out!"
This junior official was even more daring and pointed the conversation directly at the New Party.
"Shh~, don't dare say this nonsense. If someone hears it, your head will be lost!"
Another clerk quickly stopped him.
"It's my fault, but speaking of it, Officer Liu is really unlucky. His newly married daughter will be a widow!"
"It's such a pity. I heard that the young lady of the Liu family is very talented. She wrote the poem "The Sapphire Case"..."
After Liu Zheng heard this, he finally couldn't help it and immediately wanted to open the door and scold him.
But when he pressed his hand on the door, Liu Zheng stopped moving again.
In fact, during this period of time, he did not hear much behind-the-scenes gossip like this.
At first, Liu Zheng would scold a few words, but he couldn't stop these people from talking at all.
Thinking of this, Liu Zheng couldn't help but sigh, turned around and returned to his seat to sit down.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard rapid footsteps coming from outside, and then Liu Ce opened the door and walked in.
"Father, is there any new news from my brother-in-law?"
Liu Ce asked immediately as soon as he came in.
"You ask me? Who should I ask?"
Liu Zheng replied angrily.
He was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger, and Liu Ce happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.
"Father, have you also heard the rumors about my brother-in-law?"
Liu Ce was startled, and then asked cautiously.
Liu Zheng wanted to get angry when he heard about Ning Fu.
But the anger surged to the top of his head and was suppressed by him, and finally turned into a long sigh: "Don't think so much, let's go visit your sister together!"
"Okay, the one who is most sad now must be my sister!"
Liu Ce nodded immediately. He and Liu Qingxin's mother passed away early. The two brothers and sisters depended on each other, so their relationship was naturally very close.
Liu Zheng and his son left Kaifeng Mansion and took a car to Ning Fu's home.
When Si Qin saw Liu Zheng and his son coming, she immediately asked them to wait in the living room, and then she went to the inner house to report.
After a while, Liu Qingxin walked towards the living room.
Compared with some time ago, Liu Qingxin lost a lot of weight, but she was still in good spirits.
"Meet father, big brother!"
Liu Qingxin followed the path of ten thousand blessings.
"Qingxin, there are too many rumors about Ning Fu from the outside world, you must not believe them easily!"
Liu Zhengqiang cheered up and comforted his daughter.
"My daughter knows that I will not pay attention to the rumors from the outside world. What's more, the officials will come back tomorrow, and all rumors will naturally be self-defeating by then!"
Liu Qingxin smiled calmly.
"Sister, are you okay? Do you really believe that Ning Fu will come back tomorrow?"
Liu Ce felt something was wrong with Liu Qingxin's expression, so he asked again with great concern.
"Of course, since the official said he would come back tomorrow, he will definitely come back then!"
Liu Qingxin looked firm and said categorically again.
"Can……"
Liu Ce wanted to say something else, but Liu Zheng stopped him with a stern look.
"Qing Xin, you are right to think so. I have watched Ning Fu grow up as a child. His greatest advantage is that he keeps his word and keeps his word!"
Liu Zheng said with a smile.
"Well, I also believe that the officials will not break their promises!"
Liu Qingxin nodded very seriously.
Liu Zheng and his son had dinner with Liu Qingxin and did not leave until dark.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Liu Ce immediately said worriedly: "Father, something is wrong with my sister!"
"Of course I know. For Qingxin now, instead of worrying about Ning Fu's situation, it is better to firmly believe that he will come back tomorrow!"
"Then what if Ning Fu can't come back tomorrow?"
Liu Ce asked worriedly again.
This time Liu Zheng was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly:
"I just quietly told Si Qin and the others to keep an eye on Qing Xin tomorrow."
Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment when he said this.
"Let your second mother-in-law come to visit Qingxin tomorrow and keep an eye on her all day!"
"But hasn't the relationship between Er Niang and Qing Xin always been bad?"
Liu Ce asked worriedly.
After Liu Ce and Liu Qingxin's mother passed away, Liu Zhengxuan married them a second wife, but Liu Qingxin didn't like this second wife since she was a child.
"No matter how bad the relationship is, we are still a family. If she dares to let anything happen to Qingxin tomorrow, I will divorce her!"
Liu Zheng said that he took a picture of the car road at the end.
"Well, it is indeed better to have someone accompany Qingxin. I heard that Qingxin has a good relationship with Li Xuezheng's daughter. It is better to send someone to the Li family after returning and ask the other party to accompany Qingxin."
Liu Ce suggested again.
"This is a good idea. It's better to notify a few more people. It's better to have someone with her than to have her alone!"
Liu Zheng immediately agreed and said that he was really worried about this daughter.
The next morning, Liu Ce went to Taixue.
To be honest, after Liu Ce went back yesterday, the more he thought about it, the more unsure he became.
So today he didn't want to come to Taixue at all, let alone face the classmates at yesterday's party.
But as soon as Liu Ce came to Taixue, other Taixue students were already ready and waiting for him to go outside the city.
Faced with this situation, Liu Ce could only bite the bullet and pretend to be confident.
There were only 300 Neishe students at yesterday's gathering, but today there were more than 300 people attending, and almost the entire Taixue students were present.
To be continued...
