My heart skipped a beat.

It’s not that I have thought that just as Li Er would know me, she certainly knew that she had a father, and Pei Yuanxiu was her "father", which is of course different from the real father.

However, I haven't completely figured out how to tell her about her "father".

The man who is rich and powerful all over the world, the man who gave me endless pain but also gave birth to such a lovely daughter with me; the man who is always at the top of power, and is destined to drift away from me and eventually parted ways, how should I tell Li'er what kind of person is her father?

Just as I was stunned for a moment, Li'er in my arms said softly: "Mom, my father - isn't it just the bad guy who locked you up?"

I suddenly woke up with a sudden sensation.

It was still chilly in spring nights. I carefully lifted the quilt and got up, put on a piece of clothing and walked to the center of the room, lit the candlestick on the table, and then returned to the bed with the candlestick. Li'er was already awake, but when he saw me suddenly get up, he hurriedly sat up wearing the quilt. When he saw me walking back with the candlestick, he was a little puzzled: "Mom..."

I sat beside the bed and said seriously, "Li'er, who said those words just now?"

Since she met me again, I have been kind to her and even wished to give her everything, but I haven't seen me solemnly, and seemed to realize something, and said, "I... I listen..."

"I don't care who said anything to you, but there are some things that I want to explain to you."

“…”

"I think different people will have different opinions on who your father is, but even if he is really a bad person, everyone in the world can say that, but there is only one person that cannot, this person is you."

"I-" She was stunned for a moment, and pouted as if she was a little aggrieved: "I haven't seen him before..."

"You have not seen him before, but it does not mean that you are not his daughter. The birth of father's sperm and mother's blood is the greatest kindness besides the creation of man by heaven and earth. You are born of this kindness. Others raise you and teach you, which is indeed great kindness, but those who have not given birth to you are empty."

She seemed to have never heard these words before, and looked at me blankly. I approached her a little, gentle, but also solemnly: "Mom knows that you are still young, and someone may not teach you to study. The war in the Central Plains has also abandoned many ancient books, but human ethics should not be abandoned and forgotten at any time. Mom likes your liveliness, but Mom also hopes that you will understand that to be a child who knows how to be grateful, your future path will be upright."

"Grateful?" She became more and more confused when she heard it: "I...mother, Li'er doesn't understand."

I reached out and gently stroked her head, and said softly: "No matter how vicissitudes of life are, my mother hopes that you will keep a gentle and kind heart."

Maybe when I said the last few words, my expression and tone became gentler, and Li'er became a little more comfortable. She felt that the hand on my stroking her head was particularly warm. She said to me in a vague way, "Mom, I can."

I smiled softly: "So good."

After saying that, I leaned over and planned to blow out the candlelight, but Li'er said again: "But, mother, why did my father lock you up? Why didn't he want Li'er?"

My breath weakened for a moment, and the candlelight was not blown out, but flashed, reflected in my eyes, and my eyes also flashed.

I turned my head to look at Li'er, her big eyes flashed with candlelight, looking at me, still waiting for my answer.

I was hesitant and was silent for a while. Finally, I slowly said: "He locked up my mother and did not allow her to leave him; but he didn't want you, but he was separated from you because of some accidents. He was also looking for you."

"Really?"

I nodded.

"Then, what kind of person is my dad?"

"What kind of person..." I murmured and repeated this sentence, and was a little lost for a moment.

What kind of person he is? It has been troubled for a long time in the past. I wanted to see clearly and see through it. But later, I gave up and never thought about it again. There were only a lot of pain, anger, and even hatred that filled me and him. If you think about it carefully, I have never seen clearly the man who gave birth to a daughter with me. I may not know what he wants, what his dream is, and what his bottom line is.

I don't know anything about him.

I originally thought that I didn't bother to think about it anymore, but my daughter's words made me a little stunned.

What kind of person is he?

I had no intention of whitewashing the past between me and him, but looking at Li'er's clear eyes, it was so black and white, as if it was the last place in the world. Looking at such eyes, the original pain, anger and hatred were wiped out at this moment. I thought for a long time, and then said softly: "He, like Li'er, is a very smart person."

"Really?"

"It's also a serious person."

"serious……"

"If you do things, you must do your best, be the best person, and be the best person."

"Really?" Li'er seemed to be a little happy when she heard this, and threw herself into my arms, saying with a smile: "Then my father is not a bad person!"

I looked down at her, different from the previous temptation. At this time, she had a completely confident and happy smile on her face. I thought, "My father may be a bad person" may have been suppressed in her heart for a long time. After all, she is just a child, with the innocence, purity and kindness of all children. She will miss me, and naturally she will miss her father equally. I smiled and nodded.

Li'er said happily: "If this happens, Li'er wants to see him too. Li'er wants to know what his father looks like, is he the same as his father? Will he love me too?"

I didn't say anything, just smiled and stroked her face, and then said, "It's already late, Li'er, it's time to go to bed."

"Um."

Her curiosity was also satisfied with the greatest satisfaction. She hugged the quilt and fell on the bed. I looked at her and felt amused again. She put the candlestick back on the table, blew out the candlelight, and when she returned to the bed, the girl quickly got into my arms and said stickyly: "Mom, actually, Li'er misses his father too, just like she misses her mother. Will Li'er see his father?"

“Yes.”

My empty voice sounded in the empty room, and then everything was silent. Li'er slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep in my arms. But this time I woke up and looked at the dark roof with wide eyes.

The child will not lie, she may hide it, but in the end, her true mood still reveals it.

Just like missing me, she also misses her father. Even if someone told her that her father had locked up her mother, even if there were rumors that her father was not a good person, the longing that flowed in her blood could not be cut off anything.

Then, what about Pei Yuanhao?

He has been looking for Li'er for so many years, will he continue to look for it?

What will happen to him and Li Er in the future?

.

Early the next morning, I heard that there was a maid guarding the door outside and didn't dare to come in rashly to wake me up, so I got up carefully. I immediately came in to serve and brought me hot water to wash. I had just finished washing, and Li'er woke up, sat on the bed, stretched her waist, and opened her mouth so hard that the boss was so angry.

I was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and I had just combed my hair, and when I heard her movement, I turned my head and looked at her.

But when I saw the girl suddenly stunned and looked at me with wide eyes.

Her expression was as if a person who was about to die of thirst saw a pool of clear water, and was so surprised that he couldn't speak. I got up and walked over and said, "Li'er, what's wrong?"

After a while, I heard her screaming in skepticism: "Mom?"

"Um."

"It's really a mother! It's not a dream!"

She suddenly became happy, her face seemed to be smiling, and she threw herself into my arms with a wow sound.

I hugged my giggling daughter, but I felt a little sad. Looking at her just now, I might have thought that my recognition with her was just a dream. I don’t know how many times she had such a dream, and finally waited for this dream to come true.

I couldn't help feeling distressed, and carefully stroked her soft head. After a while, I said softly: "Mom is here, don't worry. Come, get up and wash, breakfast is ready."

Li'er was still sticky beside me, and she was very obedient. She asked me to rinse her mouth with green salt and wash her face. The maid wanted to come up to comb her hair, but she insisted on asking me to comb her the previous style. I smiled and walked behind her, carefully combed her with a pair of wool buns, and found two goose yellow silk ribbons from her dressing box, which happened to match her goose yellow short shirt, which was particularly pink and cute.

As soon as I finished combing my hair, I heard someone coming in outside. The maid was just holding hot water out and pouring it out. As soon as she walked to the door, she immediately bowed and saluted: "Young Master."

Li'er and I both turned our heads and saw Pei Yuanxiu walking in with a smile on his back.

"Dad!"

Li'er swayed from the stool and ran to him. Pei Yuanxiu immediately leaned over and picked her up, saying, "Li'er, are you happy to have stayed with her mother all night?"

"Of course I'm happy. Dad, look, my mother combed my hair, is it beautiful?"

She said, shaking her head, Pei Yuanxiu's eyes were smiling, and said, "Of course Li'er is the best."

After receiving his praise, Li'er's face turned red and she giggled.

Pei Yuanxiu smiled and hugged her to the center of the house. I was still standing next to him. He turned his head to look at me, with a gentle smile on his face: "It's so good."

I also smiled: "Good morning."

At this time, the maid had already brought us breakfast, and all kinds of porridge, side dishes and soup were placed on the table. Pei Yuanxiu held Li'er and sat at the table, and then said to me: "It's time to have breakfast."

“…”

I was a little stunned for a moment. It was not until Li'er waved at me and called me hard that I gently put the wooden comb back on the table, cleaned my hands a little, and then sat at the table.
Chapter completed!
