It was already dark by the time he got back from Flower Mansion.

What happened during the day made Su Zhi not smile. Seeing that something was amiss, Mrs Ding asked out of concern, "Madam, you don't look too good."

"Hmm, there's been a small problem, don't worry."

As soon as they entered the room, A Jin and the small bean bun rushed up and hugged her. Looking at the two adorable kids, Su Zhi's frustration was reduced by more than half.

"Mother, Teacher taught me a lot of words today. I'll write them down for you to read later."

Su Zhi patted the child's head, feeling very gratified. "A Jin studies hard, so mother is very happy."

"Yes, I told the teacher to wait for my younger sister to come with me to the academy."

On the other side, Dou Zi was very calm when he was called out. He held the small yellow dog in both hands and stared at the two of them blankly.

Su Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud. Mojie's daughter was probably learning how to chase ducks and tease dogs.

The little girl roughly understood what her brother said. Seeing her own mother's happy smile, she couldn't help but giggle.

Dan Xue walked in with a cup of pigeon soup in her hands and handed it to Su Zhi. "Madam, it was just today. Mother Ding said that you had to put up with running twice."

"Mm, sorry for the trouble."

Dan Xue happily held the hands of the little bean bun and said, "Madam, please don't say it. Our Miss Lan is very smart."

Su Zhi took a sip of the soup, pursed her lips and smiled, "I don't know about this child, he's the most naughty one. When he does something wrong, he can only pretend to be pitiful, and won't even say a few words."

Thinking up to here, Su Zhi began to think about how Little Dou Wu was not very good at talking. The child looked very strange and didn't have any other questions, but he didn't talk much.

For a child almost four years old, other than calling him 'father' and 'mother' and occasionally spitting out two words, he really didn't interact much with others. It wasn't because the child was timid and self-contained. It was quite joyous just looking at it, but why was it that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence?

"Little Dou Bao, where's your rabbit? Show it to mother. "

The little girl understood and turned around. She ran out the door, ran into the rabbit nest, and grabbed the rabbit that was twice as fat. She ran back eagerly and put it in Su Zhi's arms.

"Little Dou Bao, what name did you give to the rabbit?"

The little girl rolled her big black eyes and grinned. "Gou Zi."

Su Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What lousy name was this? She was a genuine rabbit.

"Change your name."

Dou Zi thought for a moment, then replied indistinctly, "Fish Swinging ~"

"Aiyo, good boy, do you want to eat fish?"

Dan Xue and A Jin, who were at the side, were already laughing, while Little Dou was not the least bit embarrassed. As if she had done something great, she proudly raised her head with her little face revealing her best expression.

Su Zhi, on the other hand, could not laugh. A child of this age should be able to speak, but this child could not even speak a long sentence and could only say a few short words.

"Danxue, come out, I have something to talk to you about."

She stood up and gave the green bean bag to A Jin to look after. She and her maid went out the door.

"Madam, what do you want to say?"

"Danxue, have you ever seen a child as big as Little Dou Wu, and you still don't know what to say?"

The young maid found it strange that she would mention it like that. After being together for so long, Danxue had never felt anything unusual about the Soybean Pancake. The kid loved to laugh and also liked to chase after the dog and the rabbit. He could also play very happily by himself. In the same courtyard, Bi Yue and her mother also did not discover this problem.

"Probably because the child is still young and can't speak clearly."

However, Su Zhi shook her head. She always felt that the voice of Little Bean Bun was inferior to that of her peers. It was just that this child was so noisy and always liked to be mischievous, so she didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

"Some other day, I will take my child to the infirmary to have a look."

"Perhaps Madam is overthinking things. Sister Lan is much smarter than those girls in the alley."

Even though she said that, Su Zhi was still worried that the child wouldn't talk too much.

There was absolutely no problem with the child's intellect. He was even very smart. It was just that he was at a loss for words.

Just as this matter was being discussed, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard. Mrs Ding put down her broom and went to open the door. She turned around to ask Su Zhi, "Madam, a young master surnamed Li is looking for you."

Su Zhi was overjoyed. "Quick, let Young Master Li come in."

After not seeing Li Wuyou for a long time, he still dressed as a martial artist.

"Lady Su, how have you been?"

Su Zhi went up to welcome him and invited him into the room. "I'm sorry to have to inconvenience Young Master Li again this time."

"I heard from the messenger that the shop is looking for trouble?"

"That's right. I'm just afraid that if I don't find out as soon as possible, it will affect the business of the shop."

Li Wuyou nodded and asked for more details. Su Zhi then told him all of her doubts, as well as the address of the fat woman who had caused trouble during the day.

"Alright, I've got the gist of it. Give me two days and I'll help you find out who's behind this."

Su Zhi bowed with a bow. "In that case, many thanks to Young Master Li. You will definitely repay me handsomely once this matter is completed."

"Lady Su, there's no need to be so courteous. In any case, that guy Lonesome Flower is greedy for words. You can just worry about him."

Mentioning the man who had seen the bright and beautiful moon, Su Zhi smiled knowingly. "Of course."

The last time Anyang had done something bad, it was also due to Li Wuyou's investigation. Li Wuyou owed him a huge favor to begin with. He wouldn't accept any money, as long as he bought some delicious food. It would be easy to coax him.

Li Wuyou only stayed for about a quarter of an hour to understand the whole situation. It could be said that he was in a hurry.

After working all day, it was already late at night.

Su Zhi hugged the child as she lay on the bed. She thought of Xiao Qian, who had left for a day and a night. He wondered about his current situation, and if there was any definite news of him defecting or betraying the rebels.

She reached out her hand and touched the intentionally left empty seat. She felt a little depressed.

In the past, he had always despised him for squeezing into a bed with him. He had always thought of him as a tall man who took up space, but now that he suddenly left, he couldn't bear to stay any longer.

Holding the awkward Xiao Qian in her arms, Su Zhi sighed and fell asleep with the two children in her arms.

The crowing of chickens could be heard outside the courtyard. The dark sky was washed away by the dawn light, and the stars were still shining brightly.

The farmers who were busy plowing in Spring Leaf Lane had all stood up. From time to time, the muffled sound of an old cow could be heard.

Mother Ding had woken up early and was busy with breakfast in the kitchen.

After waking up, Su Zhi also began to put on her clothes and wash up. The weather was still a little cold in the morning. Yesterday, Mrs. Ding also said that the winter this year was very long and that she needed to wear more clothes.

The view outside was still not clear. When the knock came, Su Zhi hesitated for a moment, thinking that she had misheard.

Soon after, there were a few more sounds, and when Ding Yi's mother heard the commotion, she ordered Bi Yue to open the door.

"No, I'll go."

Su Zhi tidied up everything and went to open the yard door. "Who is it?"

A reply came from outside, "I'm Hua Li."

Hearing that it was Hua Xuan, Su Zhi did not hesitate to release the door latch.

"Morning, Flower Soluble Young Noble."

A man under the dawn, a moon white shirt, hair like a waterfall, still beautiful without a speck of dust.

However, her beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with worry. Her eyebrows were knitted slightly, and her red lips were tightly pursed.

"What happened to Young Master?"

Hua Jue looked at her and said solemnly, "Something has happened to Wuyou."

Su Zhi was shocked as she felt her brain explode.

He was still fine when he left last night, how did something happen in one night?

"When he came to find me, his entire body was covered in blood. After knowing him for so long, I've never seen him hurt so badly."

Li Wuyou's kung fu had always been good. Although he was not a top-notch expert of the Black Cloud Stronghold, he could still be considered a top-notch expert. He was also good at tracking and investigating cases. He had never failed an assignment for so long.

"Then... How is he? "

Hua Xuan frowned and lightly shook his head, "Not good, the injury is too heavy. The bones of the hands have been shattered, and all eight of the extraordinary meridians have been severely injured."

Su Zhi felt dizzy and almost lost her balance.

She was the one who asked him to investigate the case, but he almost died this time. After leaving for such a short period of time, Li Wuyou was able to find out what had happened. He was actually heavily injured to such an extent.

"The reason I came here this time is to tell Lady Su that I'm afraid I won't be able to give you the answer to the task you entrusted me to. The Black Cloud Stronghold will send people to follow you, but I'm afraid no one will have good methods like worry-free."

"I understand. This matter is not urgent, it is more important to wait until someone is free. Young Master Hua Xuan, please wait for a moment. I will go fetch a few items for you."

Su Zhi invited him into her room and waited. She went back to her room and took a lot of medicine from the storage room to cure his wounds and stop his bleeding.

"Young Master Li was injured because of me. Please help me bring these medicine back."

Hua Xuan took the strange small bottle in her hand. After she figured out how to use it, she walked away through the morning mist.
