"From the looks of it, your master has been beaten black and blue, so much that he looks like your master. However, why did you stand by and watch without doing anything when you were clearly able to help him?" Zhan Xiaolou smiled as he looked at the old man. He was like a fox that could see through everything.

The old man laughed out loud, then put down his chopsticks and mysteriously moved closer to Zhan Xiaolou. He whispered into her ear, "I said, everything today is for you to see. What kind of reaction will you have?"

"You must be joking. How can that be? Come and eat some food." Zhan Xiaolou gave the empty bowl in front of the old man with a look of disbelief and relaxed.

The old man didn't believe Zhan Xiaolou but said nothing instead. Instead, he sat down and began to eat the food given to him by Zhan Xiaolou. "I don't like to tell lies. It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, but your background …"

Before he could finish his words, he was already waiting for Zhan Xiaolou's expression.

"You must be joking with me." Zhan Xiaolou became a bit agitated, but he still pretended to be relaxed as he disagreed.

Although she had been good with her father all these years, she also wanted to know who gave birth to her, and she was really cruel to not see her for so long. Thus, she did not truly want to return to her clan, but wanted to see for herself what kind of person her birth mother was.

However, even though she had her own thoughts, she knew that the old man couldn't possibly know it because her father was from the Mystery Moon, and the Mystery Moon had always been at war with Jiang Yanguo. The border was always unstable, so it couldn't be related to that.

It seemed like this old man was just casually speaking, or perhaps he had some other purpose.

"Your father's name is Nancy!" Seeing that Zhan Xiaolou didn't believe him, the elder put down his chopsticks and said seriously to him.

Zhan Xiaolou raised an eyebrow. It seemed like the investigation was quite thorough. He had thoroughly investigated his father's name and knew it even better than he did.

It was rare to hear her father's name in these years of war, because her father always asked her to call him father, and treating other people was always the Southern Doctor. Nancy was like the one who brought her back to the old days.

At that time, a man in a palanquin came to their village and had them lead the way to their home. He thought it was a patient visiting a doctor, so he led the way in a hurry.

He didn't expect the man to be so cold when he saw his father. He didn't even ask about his condition. "Long time no see, Nancy. How have you been?"

She would never forget the way the man looked at her, like a poor, pathetic orphan. Zhan Xiaolou was so proud that he wanted to argue, but he was stopped and taken away by two of the man's subordinates.

If it wasn't for his father saying, "Obviously, I've lost, so don't go against a child like her."

"I'm pregnant. It's only been four months. If your daughter touches my daughter, how uncomfortable would I be? How happy would you be!" The man called "apparently" said in a smug voice as he leisurely held his waist.

At that time, Zhan Xiaolou understood what was going on. The sedan chair belonged to his mother's new husband. He was pregnant and had come to show off.

Of course, she couldn't bear it. She wanted to break free and run up to theorize, so she even thought of aborting that man to prevent him from giving birth to the child that was unkind to her father.

However, she was only a six year old child. In the end, it was her father who begged for mercy, and only then did that man let her go.
