"Master Liu, please come with me."
Du Wanchun and Nan Fengling behind him helped Master Liu lead the way, took him into the carriage, and headed for Zhou's Zhuangzi.
When Mr. Liu got on the carriage, he was full of doubts. He looked outside the carriage and then looked at Du Wanchun, "Shopkeeper Du, where are we going?"
Du Wanchun replied: "Our young man is currently recuperating in Zhuangzi."
Mr. Liu suddenly realized, "So that's it. It seems that Shopkeeper Du and Mr. Zhou really like this boy."
Du Wanchun smiled and said: "That's natural. This boy is half of our savior."
She was not exaggerating, and Xiao Liuzi could indeed be regarded as their benefactor.
Mr. Liu didn't ask further, holding the prepared gift in his hand, feeling slightly awkward.
This was the first time he went to apologize to a boy. He was quite embarrassed, and he began to resent his son again.
Du Wanchun noticed his thoughts and said deliberately: "Mr. Liu, is the concubine in your house named Ma?"
Mr. Liu immediately came to his senses and nodded: "Yes, it is indeed Ma. My son said he picked it up on the road. His family has been farming for generations. Although he is a poor family, he is still considered innocent."
Du Wanchun pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh? Really? This is a little different from the Ma girl I know. It seems that I got the wrong person."
Master Liu noticed something was wrong and quickly asked: "Does Shopkeeper Du know something?"
Du Wanchun hesitated for a moment and told Mr. Liu everything about Ma Taoer.
After hearing this, Mr. Liu frowned and was very angry, "They are so brave, they dare to hide such an important thing from me."
If it were just a concubine, Master Liu could naturally turn a blind eye, but now that Young Master Liu insists on raising this concubine as his main wife, it is absolutely impossible.
Mr. Liu began to regret, blaming himself for his own sins, which resulted in such consequences.
He couldn't help but begin to miss his deceased wife, and a hint of loneliness gradually appeared in his eyes.
Du Wanchun stopped talking and stopped talking.
Soon the carriage stopped.
Du Wanchun and Nan Fengling got off the carriage together.
Master Liu followed them.
Doctor Xu's wife, Mrs. Miao, and Lian'er came to the door to greet them.
This was the first time Mr. Liu came to Zhou's Zhuangzi, so he was very curious and looked inside again and again.
Lian'er came over and said, "Master, please come with us."
Mr. Liu looked back and followed, "Thank you, girl, for leading the way."
Xiao Liuzi lives on the west side of Zhuangzi. This place is usually empty. When Xiao Liuzi came to live, Doctor Xu cleaned up the place.
Du Wanchun and Nan Fengling walked in front.
The two of them whispered, "Does Xiao Liuzi know that Mr. Liu is here?"
"I know, I sent someone to deliver the message before I came."
"Is he willing to see Mr. Liu?"
"If I don't want to, I won't bring him here."
"fair enough."
After the two of them finished speaking, the door in front of them was pushed open, and it was Xiao Liuzi who was still recovering from his injuries.
Du Wanchun stopped, turned around and said to Mr. Liu: "Master, he is inside, please go in."
Mr. Liu clenched what he was holding and walked slowly inside.
When he raised his head and saw Xiao Liuzi lying on the bed, his footsteps suddenly stopped and he froze in place, his pupils dilated due to surprise, his lips trembled, and he hesitated when he spoke, "You... ..You...are Lin'er?!"
Xiao Liuzi was shocked by Master Liu's call.
He didn't expect that his father, whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years, would recognize him at a glance.
Although his current appearance is somewhat similar to that of his childhood, we haven't been together for more than ten years, so I'm afraid he has long been forgotten.
Mr. Liu didn't know why. When he saw the mole on Xiao Liuzi's face, he decided it was his lost son without even thinking about it.
"Lin'er, is it really you? Lin?"
Xiao Liuzi's full name in the Liu family was Liu Lin.
When he was born, Mr. Liu was very fond of him. He held it in his hand every day for fear of being touched somewhere.
But they never expected that the child they held in their hands would later be purified and serve as a eunuch in the palace for more than ten years.
It was obviously his destiny to be served by others, but he had been a slave for more than ten years.
Xiao Liuzi didn't have much affection for the father in front of him who caused him to become an eunuch and caused his biological mother to die tragically. He felt more hatred.
But he didn't show it in front of Mr. Liu. On the contrary, he deliberately said excitedly: "Dad, it's me."
The sound of "Daddy" called Master Liu made his heart tremble.
He dropped the things in his hands and strode to his bedside. Looking at the injuries all over his body, his face was filled with distress, "My child, my good child, it's really you. You have been here for more than ten years." Where?"
Xiao Liuzi's eyes were filled with tears, and he choked with sobs: "Dad, ever since I got lost with you in the capital, I was taken in by a family and became a servant. I have been doing this for more than ten years."
In order to help the Zhou family conceal his identity, he did not tell what happened in the palace.
"Servant? Have you been a servant for more than ten years?" Master Liu said in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.
