Li'er stood in front of me neatly, her little shoulders hunched up. She looked at me uneasily and said softly: "Mother..."

"Li'er, answer mother's question."

I didn't have a stern voice or a gentle smile, but I just spoke to her solemnly like this. Just like every time in the past, she understood that she couldn't get away with it by acting coquettishly. I wasn't angry, but I wasn't happy either.<

/p>

She glanced at me timidly again, lowered her head and thought for a long time, suddenly blushed, bit her lower lip and said, "I, I want to go find dad."

My breathing became tight.

She is going to find her father?

I fell silent and watched her wringing her little hands, her fair and tender skin turning red, and I didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Actually...I'm not surprised.

Although she rarely mentioned her father, if you think about it carefully, how could you not have any yearning for a child? Especially when she once asked me so cautiously about her father and whether he was a good person. At that time, I

It can be felt that although she doesn't say it with her mouth, in her heart, she cares very much about her biological parents.

She already has me, so if there is still a shortcoming in her life, she will naturally want to make up for it.

Just——

So, she wasn’t kidnapped?

I leaned down and looked straight into her eyes: "If you are looking for dad, why don't you tell mom or your dad?"

When she mentioned "father", she suddenly blushed with a strange expression on her face.

I also noticed it immediately: "Li'er, what's wrong?"

"..."

She bit her lower lip so hard that it turned white, but she refused to say a word.

"Li'er?"

"..."

"Li'er, what happened?"

I felt more and more strange, and kept asking questions. Her eyes turned red. After a long time, she raised her head and looked at me, with a trace of inexplicable choking: "I...I saw Dad."

, bullying you."

"..."

I froze.

Bullying me? What she said is...

Li'er looked at me with tears in her eyes, her face red as if she was about to bleed: "On the night you got married, I went to the inner courtyard...I, I saw...I saw my father taking you -"
p>

I turned pale and hugged her.

Oh my god!

I never thought that she actually saw it, saw the scene on my wedding night with Pei Yuanxiu!

She is still so young, and she was originally not happy about the combination of me and Pei Yuanxiu, but she was actually allowed to see that kind of thing. I couldn't imagine how hard she was hit. No wonder she wanted to leave!

Only then did I recall that on our wedding night, when I almost lost control and fainted under Pei Yuanxiu's warm embrace, I heard the sound of the door opening. But at that time, I had no time to worry about it; and the second day of the wedding was

Oh my God, I went to look for Li'er in her room, and she behaved so strangely. She locked herself in the room and saw no one, not even me. She also told me that she wanted to protect me.

It turns out that she——

At this moment, I just felt like my heart was aching.

The marriage between me and Pei Yuanxiu...can't be said to be anything wrong. After all, the matchmaker is getting married. As he said, we are already husband and wife. It's normal to have sex, but Li'er saw it. This——

My face was also burning crimson and hot. After hesitating for a long time, I held her little arms with both hands, looked into her eyes solemnly and said, "Li'er, listen to what mother is telling you."

"..."

"Then... what you saw that night was not your father bullying me, not bullying. We just - just became a couple. This is a normal thing."

"..." She looked at me timidly.

"But you shouldn't know these things now. You will understand them when you grow up. But now, mother wants you to forget everything you saw that night."

"..."

"What makes you forget is not that you did something wrong, but that right now, you still have no way to distinguish what is right and what is wrong."

When I said this, my own face started to burn. You didn’t need to look to see how red my face was. Li’er looked at me timidly and stammered: “Mom, you...you

Are you...sorry?"

"..."

My face blushed even more.

However, looking at my daughter's clean eyes, I gritted my teeth, raised my head and looked directly into her eyes, and said solemnly: "Actually, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Li'er, you will do the same in the future.

Understand that these things are not worth mentioning in life, they are just to make you and your future lover happier."

Li'er looked at me blankly, her eyes sparkling with light, but seemed a little blurry. After a while, she said, "Is that so?"

"Yes."

She lowered her head, was silent for a while, and finally said softly: "Li'er knows."

In fact, I know that she may not really understand, and I don’t want her to understand so quickly. More often, I hope that she is only as big as a porcelain doll in my palm, and only enjoys the protection and warmth I give her.

For the rest of your life, don’t experience the ups and downs of growing up.

But, this is probably the delusion and crazy dream of every mother in the world.

After solving this problem, I finally calmed down a little. Liu Qinghan asked a few maids to bring some refreshments, and seemed to tell us not to disturb us. After putting the things, the maids went out obediently, and I hugged

Li'er sat on the couch by the window, looking at the gradually darkening sky outside. He fed her something to eat and also ate some himself.

During this period, she also told me intermittently how she left Jiangxia Palace at night, walked to the pier by herself based on her memory, got on a boat, crossed the river, and arrived in Yangzhou.

I broke out in a cold sweat.

Speaking of which, she grew up in the Prince's Palace of Jiangxia and knew the guards there very well. In addition, she had been naughty since she was a child. She often sneaked out to play at night. It was not difficult to avoid the guards and leave alone;

Although it was not easy to get to the pier and get on the boat, I think it was not a surprise that she dared to climb out of the window and escape in Crouching Tiger Village.

But, in retrospect, a half-year-old girl dared to do this...

I really don’t know if she is like me or the person she wants to find.

Thinking of this, I lowered my head and looked at my daughter who was nestled in my arms, as soft as a cat. I had mixed feelings for a moment and didn't know what to say. I just lowered my head and kissed her heart.

Li'er raised his head and looked at me.

Those almond-shaped eyes looked at me with dark eyes, so well-behaved. I couldn't imagine how bold and reckless she was when she did those things. However, I remembered her eager look when she was hugged by Liu Qinghan just now, and I coughed lightly.

He said with a voice: "Then how did you meet Mr. Liu Qinghan?"

She blinked, thought for a while, and said: "The city gate was closed, so I sneaked up to the tower to take a look, but almost fell down... Then, my third uncle found me."

I looked down at her long eyelashes flickering, and after a moment of silence, I asked: "He... what happened after he found you?"

Li'er thought for a while, a smile appeared on his chubby face, but suddenly he pursed his lips again: "He scolded me."

"What are you scolding?"

"Scold me, I shouldn't run around alone and make my parents worry."

"Is he right to scold me?"

Li'er pouted, and after a while he softly said: "Li'er knows I was wrong."

I was a little surprised to hear her admitting her mistake so obediently.

Li'er used to be lawless. Later, when I lived in Jixiang Village with me for nearly a year, I slowly taught her many principles. She was obedient, but she was limited to listening to me. Other adults had to teach her a lesson.

She won't be overbearing or unreasonable, but she won't be so obedient either.

Li'er put the last piece of candy cake in her mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it. I gave her a sip of tea and said softly: "Well, Mr. Liu...is the third uncle. He knows that you are

Did he say anything after his mother’s daughter?”

Li'er thought for a while: "No."

"Nothing."

"Well, I didn't say anything, just closed the door and left." She glanced at me, licked the powdered sugar on her fingertips when I wasn't paying attention, and then said, "Later, he and Uncle Wen took me across the river.

, I wanted to find you, and then I realized that my mother and father had already left to find me."

"Then what?"

"Third uncle knew that my mother and father had come to...Xichuan to find me in Xichuan. He suddenly became very anxious and asked them to prepare a boat immediately and set out to chase your boat. Who knows, no matter how hard they chase, they won't be able to catch up.
