His gaze fell on Chu Yunyao's wrist, and a stern look flashed in the little man's eyes. He stroked the bruise on Chu Yunyao's wrist and asked, "Is that the mother who hurt you?"
Chu Yunyao quickly pulled her wrist out of Xiu'er's little hand, covered it with her sleeve, and replied with a smile: "Mother accidentally made it by herself, it looks a little scary, but it's much better, and it doesn't hurt at all. .”
Xiu'er clenched her small fists: "Xiu'er must grow up quickly, work hard to learn skills, protect mother, and...sister."
Thinking of the younger sister who had no memory in her mind, Xiu'er wrinkled her little nose in distress.
Seeing Xiu'er's appearance, Chu Yunyao felt very relieved, held Xiu'er's small face, and kissed him several times suddenly: "Then mother is waiting for my Xiu'er to grow up soon."
Xiu'er blushed and lowered her head: "Mother, will you sleep with me tonight?"
Seeing his shy appearance like a little girl, Chu Yunyao thought of his state after waking up for the first time, and hurriedly said: "No, mother doesn't seem to sleep very well, she likes to kick the quilt and people, lest you catch a cold.
Xiu'er slept alone, and Mother went back to her bedroom to sleep. "
"Then... alright." Xiu'er's tone seemed somewhat disappointed.
Chu Yunyao rubbed his little head, lined up the three little wooden horses beside his pillow, and coaxed Xiu'er to lie down: "Xiu'er, rest early, mother will sing for you."
Xiu'er closed her eyes obediently, listening to Chu Yunyao humming a lullaby she had never heard before, her breathing gradually became even.
Seeing that Xiu'er seemed to be asleep, Chu Yunyao called him softly a few times. Seeing that Xiu'er didn't respond, she leaned over and kissed his forehead again, tucked in the bedding, put out the candle, and walked out lightly. closed the bedroom door.
The moment the door was closed, Xiu'er's eyes suddenly opened, she raised her small hand to touch her forehead, and softly called: "Mother."
Chu Yunyao came out of her son's bedroom and turned to see He Wenhao.
After checking the injuries of He Wenhao and Renzhi, Chu Yunyao lowered his head to help He Wenhao change the gauze coated with ointment, and asked straight to the point: "Do you know who Ji Zongyuan is and how is his skill?"
He Wenhao looked at Chu Yunyao in surprise: "How did Young Madam know about this person?"
"The two young ladies of the He family took people to my Yunlai Pavilion today to play tricks, and I caught one of them. Second Miss He brought this person here to redeem him. When I left, I heard someone call his name. .”
Chu Yunyao stretched out her hand, pulled her sleeve up, and pointed to the bruise on her wrist: "On the way back tonight, he stopped by himself on the road and planned to arrest me, saying that he wanted me to heal someone. , but refused to say who the patient was.
Is this person a guest of your He family? "
He Wenhao pondered for a moment, and said: "It's not a member of the He family, but a member of He Jingyu. He has been hanging around in the fireworks and willow alley, inquiring about various news for He Jingyu. dew.
Some people said that he was the eldest lady of the He family, so he would rather follow He Jingyu and do things for He Jingyu.
He Jingyu has always been in charge of the Huayue Tower of the He family. I occasionally took people there to listen to ditties. I had contact with this person a few times, but I couldn't figure out the truth, nor how capable he was.
He hid it very deeply, and I only saw him make a move in public once. It was He Jingshu who went to Huayue Tower to find He Jingyu, but was touched by a drunken man, and he almost beat him to death.
From that time on, I really noticed this person, so I ordered someone to secretly check his past, but found nothing unusual. "
Chu Yunyao: "..."
