I was stunned for a moment, and looked at her excited and expectant smile. Behind her was Pei Yuanxiu who slowly raised his head and smiled softly at me after hearing this.

This is the most beautiful time in Jiangnan.

The warblers fly and swallows dance, the flowers are red and the leaves are green. The air is filled with the fragrance of green grass and leaves, and the unique warm breath of Jiangnan is coming towards us, making people feel comfortable.

I smiled faintly and patted her fleshy little face: "Li'er is so good."

She laughed and plunged into my arms again.

Seeing this scene, the tenderness in Pei Yuanxiu's eyes almost turned into water. When Li'er got so tired of it in my arms, he carefully patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, your mother is tired too. Should she leave by herself this time?"

It was not until this time that Li'er was reluctant to do so. She rubbed my cheeks on my neck for a while before slowly letting go of her hand. Pei Yuanxiu grabbed her in her hand like a cat, and then carefully put it on the ground. The girl raised her head and hugged my legs again, and said, "I'm going to sleep with my mother tonight."

"Okay, according to you."

Pei Yuanxiu said with a smile, stretched out his hand and gently stroked her head, then raised his head to look at me: "How are you?"

Since the detoxification, my health has been getting better and better. Especially now I recognize Li Er, I feel so happy when I am happy when I am happy. These small things are no problem for me. I even think I can run, jump, and tell people all over the world how happy I am now!

Of course, it was impossible for me to do this, just smiled and said, "I'm fine."

"Then I'll let someone come over to clean up, and from now on-" he said, looking up at my eyes: "Li'er will live here with you."

I raised my head and met those gentle eyes.

I have had that feeling since I just started. I don’t know if it was created by him deliberately, or maybe a man and a woman, taking a child will naturally give people this illusion, especially Li’er holding me with one hand and the other. Such an atmosphere, if you want to deceive yourself, it’s just a friendship between a confidant, and you can’t deceive you.

I thought about it, but finally decided to make some things clear and said, "Young Master, I--"

"I'll go out and have someone prepare first. You and Li'er should have a lot to say."

He interrupted me, smiled and patted Li'er's face, then turned around and walked out.

Looking at his back, I was a little stunned for a moment, but he had already walked out quickly and vaguely heard him asking the attendant to pick up Miss Li's things first. Later, it seemed that someone came in and reported something, so he left.

I stood there, and after a while, I sighed a long sigh.

.

This time, I really felt Li'er's vitality.

I was in Wohu Village before, and I had already seen this girl staying in the bandit's nest, but now I know that Shen Xiaokun said she was "very wild", so he was really polite.

She was so happy that she was jumping up and down the house like a monkey, just like flying over the eaves and walls. Fortunately, the house was empty and large, enough for her tossing around here, and she was spinning inside and out, holding a teacup and asking me if I wanted to drink water, and then climbing onto the bed and standing on the edge of the bed, pouting her mouth and asking for a kiss. It really made a fuss.

When she finally calmed down, she was already sweating. She climbed onto the stool in the middle of the house and sat down, swaying her calves and looking at me, then looked around, and said, "I like this place. No wonder my dad didn't let us in before. It turned out that she was keeping her mother over and living with me."

I went to see the house she lived in before, which was very beautifully decorated. There were a few boxes piled up with various gadgets, but she said that she liked this empty and undecorated house.

I thought about it, squatted down and looked at her eyes with a smile: "Does Li'er really like this place?"

"Yeah." She nodded vigorously.

"Well, if there is a simpler room than here, the quilt is not so soft, the tables and chairs are not mahogany, and there are no gadgets from you, would you like it?"

She was stunned and blinked: "Why aren't there?"

"Because, many people live in such a house and have nothing."

"But Li'er has always had it, and my father gave it to Li'er."

Looking at the pair of eyes that were a little confused and clear and clear, I hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing. I just smiled, reached out to touch the top of her head, and went to the bed to clean up. The child followed me, quieted for a while, and suddenly reached out to hold the corner of my clothes.

I looked back at her: "Hmm?"

"Mom," she looked at me, as if she was a little confused, and said seriously: "As long as you are with Mom, any house is good."

“…”

I felt my chest heat up, and I squatted down and looked at her: "Really?"

"Well. With my mother here, everything is fine."

Actually, I know that she may not understand what she is saying or what she means, but I know that this is the most straightforward mood of the child, without concealment, and there is no need to hesitate. For her, the most important thing is the most important thing.

I smiled and hugged her tightly.

.

After a while, the servants helped us clean up and prepared hot water to wash away all the dust. Li'er was like a little devil who couldn't stop. He was careless in the bathhouse, and the water was splashed everywhere. I coaxed her for a long time before I stopped, wiped her clean, put on a comfortable coat, and carried her back to the house.

Just as I pushed the door open and saw some soup on the table in the middle of the room, a maid smiled and said, "Young Master said that Miss Li must be hungry after having a day of trouble, and the lady must be hungry, so let's get some soup tonight."

Li'er cheered and ran over immediately.

I looked at the exquisite dishes on the table and the exquisite side dishes inside, raised my head and said to the maid, "Thank you, Master, for help."

The maid hurriedly smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Madam?"

"I'm here to visit, please feel embarrassed."

The maid was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, so she nodded and stepped out. I smiled, walked over and ate something simple with Li'er. After a while, I heard the bulging outside, so I took her to bed.

The inner courtyard tonight is particularly quiet.

I knew it was Pei Yuanxiu who gave the order and tried not to let others disturb Li'er and me. Even the maids who served were guarding outside. The rustling sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves made the night quieter.

On such a quiet night, my daughter and I were tightly ironing each other. She had been having fun for a day. At this time, it finally became quiet. She was like a well-behaved cat nestled in my arms, her little mouth was hot in my ears, and she said very gently: "Mom, Li'er has always had a lot to say to her."

"You said, mother listened."

"Mom looks better than I thought."

"Yeah?"

"Well, I often hear my father tell you what my mother looks like, and then I secretly painted my mother's portraits and drew so many. But the ones I painted were not as beautiful as my mother."

I smiled faintly: "What does it matter if my mother looks good or not?"

"Well—" She pouted and thought for a while, and then said, "Aunt Zitong often said that no matter how good my mother is, she is not as good-looking as Aunt Ruoshi, but I think," she plucked my neck tightly and whispered, "Mom is better than Aunt Ruoshi."

My heart moved slightly.

I already knew that Han Zitong was hostile to me. It was not surprising that she said this in front of Li'er. I just thought that Li'er and Han Ruoshi have lived with each other for so many years and are very emotional, so she even dreamed of Han Ruoshi when she was in Wohu Village. And she and I have been separated for so many years, and logically speaking, no matter how long they miss each other, they will be somewhat unfamiliar, but now there is no sense of alienation between us mother and daughter.

I know that Pei Yuanxiu has been doing a lot to make Li'er maintain such a familiar relationship with me.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.

Li'er immediately noticed something and looked up at me: "Mom."

"Um?"

"Are you still worried? Worrying that you were caught by the bad guy?"

“…”

"Don't worry, Li Er will protect you, and Dad, he will protect you."

"...I know. Li'er is the most obedient."

I smiled and patted her face, and then said softly: "Li'er, are you very tired today, are you? Can you go to bed earlier? Don't stand it too late."

The girl looked at me with her big star-like eyes, and seemed to be very awake. She grabbed my clothes and pulled them: "Mom."

"What's wrong?"

"Mom, why are you locked up by bad guys?"

I was stunned for a moment.

"Why don't the bad guy let my mother meet me?"

“…”

"Does the bad guys hate me?"

“…”

I can't speak, Li'er must not know that her "bad guy" was actually her father, and the matter between me and her father is definitely not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, and it is even more impossible to explain it clearly to a girl of such a young age.

I was silent for a while and said softly: "Li'er, in fact, my mother was not locked up by a bad person."

“Huh?”

"Mom has a lot of things. You are still young and don't understand."

“…”

"When you grow older, you will understand."

"What--" she suddenly started to yell: "Why are my mother and dad the same? Every time I ask dad, why are you locked up by a bad person, dad answers me like this."

I raised my eyebrows - I didn't expect that even Pei Yuanxiu would tell her like this.

I smiled because it was too late. I was really sleepy and my smile seemed a little reluctant. I said softly: "Because, you are really too small now..."

While saying that, I reached out and patted her back gently, saying, "Li'er, let's go to bed."

As I said this, I had some eyelids fighting. Looking back on my past when I was weak, I often couldn't sleep all night and opened my eyes until dawn. Now I have found Li'er, and she is by my side, but she is sleepy so quickly. Maybe many of them can be let go, which makes my heart less so heavy.
