It's no wonder that Hehua cares more about this child than she does. Hehua can stay by the cradle all night when the child coughs lightly, refusing to close her eyes...

I didn't think much about it before, but when I recall it now, it's full of scenes of Hehua getting along with the child. Hehua would unconsciously kiss the child's forehead and gently touch the child's face when she was not paying attention.

If body movements are subconscious habits and can be controlled artificially, then eyes cannot be controlled and cannot deceive people.

The way He Hua looks at her child is the way a mother who loves her child badly looks at her own flesh and blood. No wonder that since she said that she would send He Hua out of the house, He Hua often loses her mind, and even looks at the child crying silently, her eyes are full of tears. Reluctantly...

It turns out...that's how it is!

The broken mirror riddled with holes that had just barely been sewn together was smashed to the ground again.

Zhuang Xiaoyu opened his eyes until dawn.

The man in the next room had already left, and after the sound of Xixi Suo Suo sounded, it quickly fell silent. Qin Wuyan was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, he didn't go back to his room all night...

the next day.

The morning light poured in from the glazed windows, the room was brightly lit, the whole candle had been burned out, when Lotus came in with the child in her arms, she saw Zhuang Xiaoyu in her clothes, leaning against the head of the bed, silently in a daze.

As in the past, she carried the child over, placed it beside Zhuang Xiaoyu, and said softly: "Madam, I will pour water for you."

"No need." Zhuang Xiaoyu just glanced at the child wrapped in swaddling clothes, stroked the child's small face with his fingertips, and then raised his eyes to stare at the lotus flower for a while, and the lotus flower felt guilty in his heart.

Lotus touched her cheek anxiously: "Ma'am, why are you looking at me like that?"

The corners of Zhuang Xiaoyu's lips twitched slightly: "It's okay, I said yesterday that this child's eyes look like yours, and today I look at them, they are exactly the same."

Lotus: "..."

He Hua's heart was pounding, she didn't know how to answer, and she didn't know what Zhuang Xiaoyu meant by her words.

But Zhuang Xiaoyu picked up the child and handed it to He Hua: "You can carry him outside for a walk, I don't need you to serve me here, I'll read two pages of the book before getting up."

Zhuang Xiaoyu rubbed her forehead, unable to hide the exhaustion on her face.

He Hua had no choice but to leave the bedroom with the child in her arms. She stood at the door, thinking about it, only felt that the madam seemed to be a little colder towards the child, but she couldn't figure out the madam's thoughts.

On the other hand, the little girl in the side room saw her coming out with the baby in her arms, and came over to tease the child: "Why is Madam willing to let you carry him out so early this morning?"

He Hua whispered: "Madam hasn't woken up yet, she said she got up after reading two pages of the book, it seems that she didn't sleep well."

"The high priest didn't come back all night, and sent someone to deliver a message this morning, saying that he had to go out for some urgent business, so he couldn't accompany Madam for breakfast. Madam is probably worried about the high priest." The little girl replied: " The young master's hundred-day banquet is very close to the high priest's enthronement ceremony, and our priest's mansion can be regarded as a double blessing, so it is naturally very busy."

When He Hua heard it, her heart fell back to its original position. It turned out that the madam had such an attitude because the high priest hadn't returned to his room all night.

He Hua casually asked again: "When did Madam go back to the room last night?"

"I went back to the room very early." The little girl replied: "Last night, all the major families sent ceremonial deacons to discuss the matter of the high priest's ascension to the throne. After hearing the news, the madam went straight back and did not go into the hall to look for the butler. …”

Lotus: "..."
