162, Bandit Emperor (8)(1/2)
Mo Da went out happily and came back in panic.
The poor girl couldn't stand the fright when she saw him rushing to her and fainted. Although part of the reason was that she hadn't eaten for two days and was weak, she still scared Mo Da.
I heard that Ya'er was so scared that she refused to let him approach when she saw Hou Ershi. He even laughed at Hou Ersheng for being too fierce with his brothers, and even scared his own daughter. As a result, it was this day, so I didn't mention the feeling in my heart.
He carried his biological daughter all the way back to the government office. The military doctor came to see her and diagnosed her with a fainting hunger.
The gangster and Sister Song did not dare to follow, and stayed outside the government and wandered around. Sister Song was worried about her daughter, while the gangster was cautious by nature and was worried about the two of them.
Wei Mingyan was writing a letter. He just asked someone to send it out when he saw Mo Da come in and smiled, "Hou Er came to tell me just now, saying that you must come to me to ask for some good medicinal herbs, and it's true."
"Zi Yu is in charge of the warehouse keys for placing medicinal materials. You go find him."
"grown ups."
Mo Dahan smiled, with joy and worry in his eyes. This look always made Wei Mingyan laugh at him.
"What's wrong with this? Haven't the children been retrieved?"
"Brothers have been finding their children these days, but no one is like you."
"No, not..."
Mo Da was immediately embarrassed to be said.
The situation in his family is different from that in other people's families. At that time, the children in the entire village were taken away. Most of the boys were sold to other people's families as slaves, and the girls were sold to flower buildings.
These days, they have relied on the list left by Master Jin to find their children one after another. Some of them have suffered and some have been tortured, but they have all returned to their parents well.
His Xuanniang is different.
Ya'er recalled that Xuanniang was crying on the road and wanted to find her father. Later, she arrived in the city and before she could send her to the flower building, she annoyed her and was about to establish her authority again, so she beat Xuanniang in front of all of them.
Xuanniang was too young and was beaten to death. She stayed in the car for less than a moment and stopped moving. They cried and could not get a response when they touched her. They all thought Xuanniang was dead.
Later, the man threw the man directly from the carriage. After that, after Ya'er found out the news, he found the locals.
"Xuanniang's adoptive mother now regards her as a treasure. Although she has no money, she has raised Xuanniang very well."
Mo Da had a bitter face, was both happy and didn't know what to do. "Now Xuanniang is afraid of me, so I want to take her home, but her adoptive mother raised Xuanniang. I don't really want to leave Xuanniang when she looks like her."
Wei Mingyan stood up, "Your mansion has no female relatives, so it's fine if you take your daughter back. Her adoptive mother is young and not suitable."
"yes!"
Mo Da sighed, "Sir, please come up with an idea for me."
"I'll ask you." Wei Mingyan said, "You took Xuanniang back, do you have time to accompany her?"
The big and thick man was stunned for a moment and shook his head with some reluctance, "I still have to follow the adults to achieve great things together, and I don't have much time to accompany Xuanniang."
He also understood what Wei Mingyan meant. Although he was reluctant to let it go, he still said, "Will Xuanniang continue to follow her adoptive mother?"
"You have to follow, but you have to change the way."
Wei Mingyan picked up the things he bought on the table, picked out from a pile of beautiful and expensive hairpins, picked out a jade hairpin, and handed it to Mo Da.
Looking at the jade hairpin in front of him, Mo Da took it stupidly, "Sir?"
"What is this for?"
"You just found your daughter and didn't want to give her some gifts. She hasn't seen you for seven years and is young. If you don't please me, how could she be willing to get close to you?"
As soon as Wei Mingyan finished speaking, Mo Da suddenly realized, "Sir Xie, sir, I'll go find my daughter."
"etc."
The handsome man in a pure white fox fur coat called him, "A moment, you do this..."
***
In the gorgeously decorated bedroom, the girl hurried in the corner and looked at everything around her in fear. Even though the maid came up and asked her warmly whether she wanted to eat, she still kept silent.
"Miss, please eat something. The doctor said you are hungry and it is the time to repair your body."
The maid advised, and the girl who was huddling in the corner of the bed, drilled into it with red eyes and whispered, "I want my mother, where have you brought my mother?"
Several maids looked at each other. They were all the maids in the mansion, but now they were sent by the owner of the mansion and the house. Although they were very skilled in serving people, they were completely disgusted with the current situation.
I only knew that the person in front of me was the daughter of the owner of the mansion, but why did she look like this and why she kept asking for a mother, so I didn’t know much about it.
Seeing that they did not answer, Song Liuer hugged her tightly, her eyes full of fear.
Although she is ten years old, she has been staying at home to learn needlework or helping her mother with work since she was a child. She has hardly had any contact with strangers. She herself is afraid of meeting people and is even more timid than Widow Song.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a tall and strong man I had never seen before. He said it was his father and there were so many maids around to serve him. Maybe others would feel a little happy, but for Song Liuer, who grew up with her mother, it was very terrifying.
She clenched her teeth, her whole body tensed and stopped talking.
"Liu'er, Liu'er..."
As soon as Widow Song entered the door, she saw such a daughter. She called her name in a flash and quickly walked to the bedside.
Song Liuer, who had been holding back her shrinking herself into a ball, immediately shed tears when she saw her and rushed into her arms.
"mother!!"
"Liu'er, mother Liu'er..."
Mo Da stood outside the door and watched the two hugging each other crying and laughing, feeling both happy and sad for their daughter.
"What? I feel uncomfortable?"
Hou Er patted his shoulder, "Don't feel uncomfortable, just be alive."
Mo Da smiled too, stretched out his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes, and sighed, "Yes, just be alive."
"You will have a girl from now on, and it's pretty good. I used to think that second brother, you don't like to ask women to serve you, and you don't care about your family. How can you take care of Liu'er when she comes back? Now, it's great, it's great if you have a girl to take care of you for nothing."
Hou Er's words completely disappeared from Mo Da's feelings. He nodded, "Yes, this is good."
"Okay, let's go. The adults are going home to pick up their relatives and ask us to go with us."
Mo responded loudly and followed Hou Er and walked. Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back and saw the pretty girl snuggling in the arms of Widow Song.
She was weak and had a pale face, but she was alive.
Being alive, as long as you are alive, it’s fine.
Mo Da looked at his daughter and smiled with satisfaction. He had no desire for anything in his life.

In the capital city, in the narrow courtyard, bare tree trunks stand in the middle. The passing people passed by quickly, and they were too lazy to see it at all.
"Miss's illness has not been cured yet?"
"I don't think it's okay. I haven't been able to recover since I came back from worshiping Buddha with my wife. I heard that I almost couldn't even go back to Kyoto, but my wife was kind enough to bring it back."
"I have taken a lot of medicine, why can't this disease be cured? Wasn't the young lady in good health before?"
"Yes, the eldest lady has never been out of the yard since she came back. Last time I saw the maid in her yard secretly currying the maid from her, saying that she wanted to find a way out for me."
"I saw the maids in the yard hiding together and taking a lazy job to the new one. If the young lady hadn't been so weak and sick, she wouldn't have been so arrogant."
Several little maids were hiding and gossiping, when they suddenly saw a girl wearing the same dark red maid's clothes as they were on the path, and she immediately shut up.
The girl seemed to have not noticed them, and continued to walk forward with the basket in her hand. Several maids looked at her back and muttered in a low voice, "Did you see, it's her, she's bullied like anything, and even let her go to the kitchen to pick up the food."
"It's so pitiful. I've followed a master like the eldest lady."
"She is fine. The wet nurse around the eldest lady used to be so miserable. Let me tell you..."
Qing Ziru walked in front with a basket and walked lightly. When she heard this, her face slightly turned and her eyebrows slightly frowned.
She had been entering this desolate little yard. The little maid who was supposed to be cleaning had long disappeared. She saw that she was lazy.
Qing Ziru has long been used to the bad family style of the Ji family. She knocked on the door and whispered, "Miss, it's me."
Ji Xiawan's weak voice came from inside, "Come in."
Qing Ziru entered the door, placed the basket on the table, took out the food inside bit by bit, put it in, walked into the curtain, and helped Ji Xiawan up, who was pale.
"Ziru..."
Ji Xiawan covered her chest and coughed gently, her beautiful eyebrows frowned together in discomfort, and asked weakly, "Does the kitchen people have troubled you today?"
"The kitchen is very busy today and I don't have time to pay attention to me."
Qing Ziru replied, carefully taking out her handkerchief to help Ji Xiawan wipe the sweat from her forehead, "Miss, why don't I go and hire a female doctor? If you can endure this yourself, when will it be better?"
"No, don't go."
Ji Xiawan held her body and tried hard to stand up, "It's good that the people in the kitchen are not going to do anything to you. You can sit down and eat with me."
Seeing that Qing Ziru was about to refuse, she smiled bitterly and said, "You are someone around me, and the person in charge will not show you a good look. When you go back, there will be no food for you. Let's eat with me, at least you can have enough food."
Qing Ziru responded and helped her sit down.
She was indeed being embarrassed by the manager, but she had already taken the opportunity to buy it in the house and beat it up and took revenge.
It was not only a revenge on the intentional difficulty of the in charge of the matter, but also a revenge on him not to take Ji Xiawan seriously.
If Qing Ziru was sent by the adults at the beginning and only protected Ji Xiawan because she was grateful to him, then after spending two months together, she would have truly protected Ji Xiawan.
