Chapter 565: Legal Loopholes

There was a constant stream of customers in the store, including dignitaries dressed in silk and satin, as well as ordinary people wearing coarse linen clothes.

The guys were walking around enthusiastically, introducing various styles of clothes to the customers and recommending the most popular styles.

In this lively scene, a woman dressed in white coarse cloth is happily choosing new clothes for her children.

Next to her stood a little boy who looked about eight or nine years old, named Huan'er.

"Huan'er, look, what do you think of this dress?"

The woman held a light blue jacket in her hands, with an expectant smile on her face, and gestured gently in front of Huan'er.

Fine wrinkles formed at the corners of the woman's eyes, and a few strands of hair fell from her casually tied bun, resting on her slightly tired face. Her eyes held a look of love for her child.

Huan'er was thin and had a slightly pale face. He seemed a little out of place in this noisy store.

There was confusion in his big eyes, which were empty and dull. He stared at his mother, his head unconsciously tilted to one side, as if he was trying hard to understand what his mother was saying, but he didn't quite understand. He just stood there quietly without saying a word.

The woman seemed to be accustomed to her child's reaction and didn't care. She just continued to fiddle with the clothes in her hands, muttering softly, "Mom thinks this dress is beautiful. The color is bright and the material is comfortable to the touch. It will definitely make you look energetic when you wear it. How about Mom buy you this one?"

Her voice was full of love and concern for her children.

However, Huan'er remained silent, just tightly holding the brand new bamboo pot in his hand.

The bamboo pot was newly made, with the two crooked words "Huan'er" engraved on it. It was not difficult to see that it was carefully prepared for him by his mother and was regarded as a treasure by him.

A barely perceptible glint of disappointment flashed across the woman's eyes, and that light was fleeting.

She quickly adjusted her mood, a warm smile blooming on her face again. She gently touched Huan'er's head and said, "Okay, then Huan'er, mother will buy you this one."

"When you go to college, you have to study hard, okay?"

When Huan'er heard this, he seemed to suddenly understand something. He nodded his little head like a rattle and mumbled, "Huan...Huan'er knows!"

Although the voice is childish and a little lisp, it is full of childish innocence.

The woman smiled, her eyes filled with relief, and continued, "Okay, when you put on your new clothes, no one in the academy will dare to bully you!"

"Mrs. Bamboo Pot has also made a new one for you. Don't be unhappy from now on. Be happy, okay?"

Huan'er nodded obediently, and a glimmer of joy flashed in her originally dim eyes. Although the light was weak, it instantly warmed the woman's heart.

Li Chengqian was standing not far away, gently waving a folding fan in his hand. He watched and heard every move and every word of the mother and son.

Li Chengqian could tell at a glance that Huan'er was mentally ill and was a child with intellectual disability.

At first, he just felt a little pity in his heart and didn't care too much.

But when the woman mentioned that her child was bullied in the academy, his heart suddenly trembled and his eyes became sharp.

Li Chengqian thought to himself that such disabled children would easily be isolated and bullied by their peers in the academy.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is promoting universal education, more and more children from ordinary families have the opportunity to go to school, but there is still a blank in the law against school violence.

In the past, most people who could read were high-ranking officials and children from wealthy families. This kind of thing had never happened before, but now it has become a problem that needs to be solved.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian felt a sense of responsibility and decided to walk towards the mother and son.

He watched calmly at first, watching the woman carefully take out the worn waist bag from her waist. The edges of the bag were worn and the color had turned gray.

Her hands trembled slightly as she took out a few ingots of silver and some copper coins one by one and counted them carefully. Every movement showed the hardship and caution of life.

Only after counting the money did she feel at ease to buy the dress.

Just as the mother and son were about to leave, Li Chengqian stepped forward quickly, a gentle smile on his face, and said politely, "Sister, please ask a question."

When the woman heard the voice, she raised her head suddenly and saw Li Chengqian, her eyes instantly became alert.

She quickly protected Huan'er behind her, holding the child's arms tightly with both hands, like a mother animal protecting her cubs, her eyes full of vigilance, and said, "Ask."

There was a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Li Chengqian looked at the woman's reaction and immediately understood something.

In this world, a woman with a child must have suffered a lot of bullying in her daily life, which is why she is so alert and wary of strangers.

He asked unconsciously: "Is the man in your family?"

As soon as he said this, Li Chengqian realized that his question was a bit abrupt.

Sure enough, the woman's eyes were more alert, and her already tense nerves were even more tense at this moment. She asked in a stern voice: "My husband is at home, why are you asking this?"

There was a hint of anger and fear in her eyes.

Li Chengqian quickly explained: "No, no, no, sister, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant. I also have a wife and children. I just thought the children were cute and wanted to ask..."

There was a hint of embarrassment on his face. As he spoke, he waved the folding fan in his hand, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

But before he could finish his words, the woman hurried away with Huan'er, her steps hurried.

Her back looked so helpless and panicked, which made Li Chengqian feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Chengqian looked at the backs of the mother and son as they left, and he already had the answer in his heart.

He noticed that the child had no nail on his thumb, which might be a scar left by long-term bullying.

Li Chengqian gently waved the fan in his hand, pointed at the mother and son, then turned around and returned to Qinghua Pavilion.

Just as he turned around, two pancake vendors on the roadside followed him quietly, seemingly casually.

The two vendors, one was tall and strong with a full beard, the other was thin but had a very clever look in his eyes.

The skillful tracking movement clearly showed that this was not the first time he had done this.

After returning to Qinghua Pavilion, Li Chengqian was a little uneasy, and Zhang Xianhuai came down with Li Jiming.

The moment he saw Li Chengqian, Li Jiming's eyes lit up and he quickened his pace.

Then he walked up to Li Chengqian and held his hand.

Said quietly.

"Brother, you are here!"

Li Jiming did not attract the attention of people around him.

Because of these two princesses, the people of Xianyang could almost always see them.
