Xiaocao was originally very worried about Shen Changting, and he also wanted to know what Shen Changting's situation was now, so when he heard Chu Xingshan say this, Xiaocao didn't want to think about it, and immediately asked Chu Xingshan to take him to see Shen Changting, Chu Xingshan knew that Shen Changting was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was not difficult for him, a general, to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Shen Changting, so Chu Xingshan planned to secretly take Xiaocao to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he couldn't be discovered by Zhao Qingzao, otherwise with Zhao Qingzao's temper, he might not let him get closer to Xiaocao in the future.

"Xiaocao, you have to promise Uncle Chu, if your mother asks you where you went, you must not say anything. Chu Xingshan whispered to Xiaocao.

Hearing Chu Xingshan say this, Xiaocao immediately nodded in agreement, and then said: "Uncle Chu, don't worry, I will definitely keep it secret, as long as you can let me see my father." ”

Since Xiaocao has been so assured, Chu Xingshan is relieved, but the green shadow is still on the side, so Chu Xingshan can't let the green shadow find out that he left with Xiaocao, so Chu Xingshan plans to go to support the green shadow, so that he and Xiaocao can leave secretly.

"Green Shadow Girl, don't you have to go back to the shop to greet guests?" Chu Xingshan walked to Green Shadow's side and asked.

"I still have to play with Xiaocao, and there are Miss Zhao and Xiaolian watching in the shop, so I should be busy. Green Shadow shook her head and said.

Hearing this, Chu Xingshan turned his head to look at Xiaocao, and after finding that Xiaocao looked anxious, Chu Xingshan continued to say to Green Shadow: "Green Shadow Girl, it's good that Xiaocao is accompanied by me, you better go in and greet the guests, with me here to play with Xiaocao, aren't you still at ease?"

Green Shadow looked at Chu Xingshan, then at Xiaocao, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back to the shop to help first, General Chu, you must take a good look at Xiaocao." ”

"Green Shadow Girl, don't worry, I will definitely take care of Xiaocao. Chu Xingshan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Green Shadow with a smile.

After the green shadow returned to the shop, Chu Xingshan took Xiaocao to his horse, and then rode a horse with Xiaocao to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After Chu Xingshan picked him up from his horse, Xiaocao immediately ran to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and said to the guards outside the door: "Big brother, do you remember me? I am a student of Mr. Shen, because Mr. Shen has not been to teach at the academy for several days, so I am worried about Mr. Shen's health, so I plan to come over to see him, can you let me in?"

After Chu Xingshan tied up his horse, he came over, and when he heard what Xiaocao had just said, Chu Xingshan only felt that Xiaocao's child was really too smart, only three years old, and he could actually say what he said just now, if Xiaocao grew up a little more, he would definitely be smarter.

"Little, brother, although I would love to let you in, no one agrees, and we can't let you in without permission. The guard seemed to like Xiaocao very much, and after listening to what Xiaocao said, he said to Xiaocao with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiaocao immediately lowered his head in disappointment, he had already come to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he thought he could see Shen Changting, but he didn't expect that he couldn't enter at all, and it was normal for Xiaocao to be disappointed.

Seeing this, Chu Xingshan strode behind Xiaocao, and after the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion saw Chu Xingshan, they were stunned for a moment, and after reacting, they immediately said respectfully: "General Chu, are you here to see the Prime Minister?"

"I'm here to catch up with your eldest young master, can you let me and Xiaocao in?" Chu Xingshan said in a deep voice.

Hearing Chu Xingshan say this, the guards knew that Xiaocao came with Chu Xingshan, because Chu Xingshan was a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and now he had military power, even the prime minister didn't dare to offend him, let alone these two little guards.

"Yes, yes, of course you can, General Chu, please come in. The guard nodded repeatedly, and then said.

Hearing this, Chu Xingshan walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion with Xiaocao, because he didn't know which courtyard Shen Changting lived in, and Chu Xingshan didn't want to meet the old fox of Prime Minister Shen, so Chu Xingshan stopped a little guy and asked him to take himself and Xiaocao to find Shen Changting.

Originally, the little guy was not happy, but after knowing Chu Xingshan's identity, the little guy immediately took Chu Xingshan and Xiaocao to Shen Changting's courtyard tremblingly.

"General Chu, the eldest young master has been in the house for the past few days, and the eldest young master usually doesn't let us enter the house, so you can ask Ah Liu to take you to see the eldest young master." The little guy lowered his head and said to Chu Xingshan.

Anyway, they had already come to Shen Changting's courtyard, so Chu Xingshan didn't need this little guy to lead the way, and after nodding, Chu Xingshan let the little guy retreat first.

"Does Mr. Shen live in this courtyard? These flowers and plants are so beautiful. Xiaocao has already looked at Shen Changting's yard, father and son seem to have a lot of common preferences, and Xiaocao at a young age actually likes Shen Changting's yard very much.

"Xiaocao, your father is in the house, you can go in now, I'll wait for you outside." Chu Xingshan didn't look for Ah Liu directly, but let Xiaocao go directly into the house.

Hearing this, Xiaocao responded, and then walked on his short legs, then pushed open the door and walked into Shen Changting's house, seeing this, Chu Xingshan walked to the side and sat down.

Xiaocao had just walked into the house, and he smelled a pungent smell of wine, which made Xiaocao hurriedly cover his nose, and was about to look for where Shen Changting was, but he didn't expect to hear Shen Changting muttering: "Ah Liu, bring me the wine." ”

Hearing Shen Changting's voice, Xiaocao walked into the inner room, and saw Shen Changting sitting on the ground, with a large number of wine jugs and wine glasses poured around, Xiaocao knew what was going on.

"Mr. Shen, are you borrowing wine to kill your sorrows?" Xiaocao walked up to Shen Changting and hurriedly asked.

Hearing Xiaocao's voice, Shen Changting was stunned at first, and then said with a wry smile: "Xiaocao, why are you? ”

"Mr. Shen, you better sit up and talk about it, you will catch a cold if you sit on the ground all the time. Xiaocao tugged on Shen Changting's sleeve and planned to help Shen Changting sit up, but Xiaocao's strength was too small, so he couldn't help Shen Changting at all, and after trying a few times, Xiaocao still gave up the idea of helping Shen Changting up.

"If you catch a cold, you can catch a cold, and it would be better for me to get sick and forget everything. Shen Changting laughed and then said.

Hearing this, Xiaocao looked at Shen Changting blankly, he had never seen such a depressed Shen Changting, could it be because he misunderstood that he was Chu Xingshan's son, so Shen Changting would borrow wine to kill his sorrows, so he would be so depressed?

"Mr. Shen, are you really sad?" Xiaocao asked Shen Changting curiously.

"Of course I'm sad, but what's the use of being sad? Your mother has found her own happiness, I heard that Chu Xingshan is now a general, this is also good, at least you and your mother can live a good life in the future." Shen Changting shook his head with a wry smile, and then said.

After finishing speaking, Shen Changting looked at Xiaocao again, stretched out his hand and touched Xiaocao's head, and said, "Forget it, what am I telling you to do here?"

"Mr. Shen, you haven't been to the Confucian Academy for several days, and I'm worried about you, so I'm here to visit you. Xiaocao replied directly.

As soon as the words fell, Shen Changting picked up a wine jug on the ground again, and then planned to pour wine into his mouth, but he didn't expect that the wine jug was already empty, so Shen Changting poured it for a long time, and he couldn't even pour out a drop of wine.

Seeing Shen Changting's decadent appearance, Xiaocao clenched two small fists, hesitating whether to tell Shen Changting the truth, although he had promised Zhao Qingzao that he would definitely not recognize Shen Changting, but after seeing Shen Changting's appearance of borrowing wine to kill his sorrows, Xiaocao left Zhao Qingzao's instructions behind, if he didn't tell Shen Changting the truth, who knows if Shen Changting would be depressed forever?

"Mr. Shen! Actually...... In fact, Uncle Chu is not my father, you are my father, Uncle Chu went to the army when I was very young, and my mother only knew that Uncle Chu was also in Biancheng some time ago, and she would take me to Biancheng, just to reunite with you, but I don't know what's wrong, my mother finally asked me not to say anything, and asked me to call you Mr. Shen in the future, so I have been hiding it until now. Xiaocao closed her eyes and told the truth in one go.

After finishing speaking, Xiaocao breathed a long sigh of relief, because Shen Changting didn't speak, so Xiaocao opened his eyes, and then looked at Shen Changting, wanting to see what Shen Changting's reaction would be after knowing the truth, and whether he would recognize him as a son.

"Mr. Shen?" Xiaocao waited for a while, but Shen Changting didn't react at all, neither spoke nor had any expression, just stared at him blankly.

Seeing Shen Changting's appearance, the young Xiaocao felt very sad, he felt that Shen Changting was unwilling to recognize him as a son, so he reacted like this.

"Mr. Shen, I'll go home first. Xiaocao lowered her head and said this sentence in a muffled voice, and then left sadly.

"Uncle Chu, let's go back. After walking outside, Xiaocao saw Chu Xingshan sitting outside waiting for him at a glance, so he walked in front of Chu Xingshan and said to Chu Xingshan.

"Xiaocao, what's wrong?" Chu Xingshan saw that Xiaocao's eyes were red, and he looked very aggrieved, and thought that something had happened to Xiaocao, so he hurriedly picked up Xiaocao, and then asked anxiously.

Hearing this, Xiaocao didn't say anything, just shook his head, and then lay his head on Chu Xingshan's shoulder, asking Chu Xingshan to take him home quickly.

Seeing Xiaocao's reaction, Chu Xingshan was also worried about whether something had happened to Xiaocao, and they had been out for a while, if Zhao Qingzao found that the two of them were gone, he would definitely be suspicious, so Chu Xingshan didn't stay long, so he hurriedly took Xiaocao back to Qingcaopu.

As soon as he returned to the grass shop, Zhao Qingzao immediately walked over and asked, "Xiaocao, where have you been? Why did you come back now?"

Although Zhao Qingzao was talking to Xiaocao, his eyes were staring at Chu Xingshan, and he clearly guessed where Chu Xingshan took Xiaocao to, seeing this, the corners of Chu Xingshan's mouth twitched, moved, and said weakly: "I'll take Xiaocao for a casual stroll." ”
