Chapter 9 Father
"Master, don't forget that the eldest lady has not been found yet. With the age and experience of the young master, how could he deal with it... a body?" Zhou Pei was still unwilling to accept it. He was still vivid in his mind. That day, the master was in the mansion to entertain guests. After three rounds of wine, a servant came to report that the eldest lady was missing. The whole mansion searched all the inside and out. In the end, the young lady did not find it, but found that the young master was lying beside the well in Tingxue Pavilion, unconscious.
"If it were done by the young master, where could he hide people? At that time, we moved all the garrisons in the capital, turned them over and searched them in the city several times, let alone the mansion. Besides, the young master was so weak at that time, that was not pretending. Could it be that an eight-year-old child who was stronger than these thousands of strong adults?"
A glimmer of light flashed through Zhao Wen'an's eyes. It was not that he had thought of this layer, but this matter was related to his children, so even if there was only a trace of doubt, he could not let go. Zhao Wen'an was silent for a long time, until the first ray of skylight poured in through the crack of the window, he looked at Zhou Pei who was already dozing out and said a word.
"Help me keep an eye on him, but, before finding out the truth, would you think I was too hypocritical if I said I wanted to be a good father?"

Mu Xiaowu was awakened by Zhao Wen'an's "father's love". She smelled the smell of golden cake. Her misty dream was suddenly split open by a long sword, and she penetrated the comfortable sunshine.
In the dream, she was walking in a dense forest, surrounded by moisture, and was so stuffy that she couldn't breathe. I don't know how long she had walked, but some rolling shadows finally appeared not far away. Looking around, there were ruins. The broken window lattices, stone caves and corridors, they waited here for a long time just to wait for her to come back...
She woke up in cold sweat, stared at the dim curtain above her, and after looking for a long time, she suddenly shook her nose, "What does it smell?"
"Miss, are you awake?" The little girl's big round face blocked Mu Xiaowu's sight. Her small but festive eyes flashed like stars above the dense forest in her dream, "I'll call you master now."
"Don't let it go," Mu Xiaowu pulled her sleeve, "Every time that old man came, he looked mournful, as if I was about to die, and I didn't want to see him."
"Old man? That's you..." The word "Dad" was swallowed by the quilt, because Mu Xiaowu had already sat up with a carp, but before he could sit down, he groaned again and fell back on the quilt. Now her waist is weak and her feet are numb, and she has to overestimate her own abilities, and she has to ask for trouble.
"Miss, are you okay?" Wowo was startled and reached out to support him, but was blocked by Mu Xiaowu.
"I can't die," she was angry and annoyed, and sat up again with her hands on the bed. "It's strange, my identity has changed. My body has become a delicate lady, and I can't even use one-tenth of my strength."
"You are sick. Didn't the doctor say that you will have a good life and will recover after a while," Wowo said, walking to the table and brought the plates on the table over, "Miss, this is the snack sent by Mr. Zhao. You can get better. If you feel good, let's go out to see him. They have already come to the mansion three times during this period."

The little girl was so round that she looked like a glutinous rice dumpling, so when she heard Mu Xiaowu call her name, Zhao Zimai couldn't help laughing, "Wow? Then I can guess what the other maids in your house are called, most of them are date cakes, sugar-burned firewood, and maybe there are pea yellow and Ruyi rolls?"
After sitting for a while, he saw that Mu Xiaowu was in poor spirits and looked very depressed, so he thought of something to make her happy.
"Young Master, you are so smart. You guessed most of the time. These names were given to us by the lady when she was a child. Because she was greedy since she was a child, she simply changed all the artful names that the master gave. So our Gong family is simply a snack shop. In the words of the master, it is very unfavorable."
"Nonsense, I've never said such words," Gong Mingzhu, who had been pounding Mu Xiaowu's back and testing the temperature, blushed. "How good are these names, easy to understand and down-to-earth, but they are much better than the literary names I have given."
Gong Mingzhu suddenly lost her son and was already disheartened, but her youngest daughter, who had been missing for ten years, suddenly appeared at this time. She treated her daughter like a treasure, for fear that she would grow a pair of wings and fly out of thin air. But after Mu Xiaowu left, she was very weak and would take care of her at home for half a month before she could get out of bed and walk. Gong Mingzhu was more cautious. Not only did she look for medical treatment and medicine everywhere, but she also sent more than ten people to take care of Mu Xiaowu, for fear that the only daughter would have another three-year long and two-digit short-term.
During the time I came to Gong's house, whenever Mu Xiaowu had a headache and fever, Gong Mingzhu couldn't sleep at night and couldn't eat. She was trembling all day long and was restless, and she seemed to be sick.
Brain disease.
"Miss Mu, oh no, Miss Gong still has no memory of what happened before her disappearance?" Zhao Zimai felt sad when he saw the father and daughter, thinking of his father. He only occasionally expressed a hint of care. He wanted to erase all his previous bias and indifference and rushed towards him regardless of everything. But looking at Gong Mingzhu, he was so willing to put his butt on so coldly. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could not believe that the slave in front of him would be the proud and proud Lord Gong in the court.
"The little girl still can't remember what happened before, so don't call her Gong Heng, just call her Xiaowu." When Gong Mingzhu heard Zhao Zimai's words, she hurriedly waved her hand to Mu Xiaowu from behind. It seemed that the father and daughter had already had a debate about this, but Mu Xiaowu did not agree to change her original name.
"It's fine to be bound by a deep walled courtyard, but it's so boring to be bound by a name." Mu Xiaowu sighed, thought for a moment, then looked at Gong Mingzhu behind him, and suddenly there was a smile of obedient smile on his face, "Dad, I want to go to Qiyunxuan to see the old man who was lame. I haven't seen him for a long time. I'm very worried about him, and I don't know how he is doing there."
When Gong Mingzhu heard the "Dad", she felt very happy, but her head was not confused at all. "You think of Mr. Mu, I will send someone to invite him over. Don't worry, I know the old man's thoughts best. I can't invite him anything else, but if I tell him that I bought the apricot blossom wine from Hongxinglou, he will come over no matter what."
