Chapter 5 Family
In the afternoon, Xiao Wanyao leaned on the collapse and flipped through a medical book.
"Miss, the second master has come to see you." The licorice outside the door trotted in and whispered in Xiao Wanyao's ear.
The second master is Xiao Wanyao's uncle Xiao Ze, because he is a concubine, he has always been despised by his brother Xiao Man, and he lives in a house in the northeast of Xiao Mansion, and he is unknown on weekdays.
Xiao Wanyao got up and put down the medical book, forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said with red eyes: "Don't welcome in yet!" ”
As he spoke, he heard a calm and deep male voice: "Is the person in the house Wan Yao?" ”
Xiao Wanyao rubbed her eyes: "Yes." ”
The man's voice trembled slightly: "Great, you're still alive, great......" As he spoke, the man slowly entered the house, it was none other than Xiao Ze.
Xiao Wanyao thought that this was the first time they met, although she was excited, she couldn't show it, so she could only force herself to calm down: "Yes...... Uncle? ”
Xiao Ze nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, I didn't expect our Wan Yao to be so beautiful, Wan Yao...... Uncle is ashamed of you......"
A sad look flashed in Xiao Wanyao's eyes, and she said in a sad tone: "Everyone in the Xiao Mansion said that Wan Yao was ominous, and they insisted on drowning Wan Yao who was still in infancy, if it wasn't for the uncle who stepped forward to protect Wan Yao's life, I'm afraid it would be ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help crying, "So how can my uncle be ashamed?" But Wan Yao should thank her uncle for ......"
Xiao Ze's eyes also turned red after hearing this: "It's just that I am a concubine, and I am soft-spoken, so I can only send you to your aunt in the countryside in the end...... I hope you didn't suffer! ”
"Uncle personally sent Wan Yao to her aunt back then, and also gave money to ask her aunt to treat Wan Yao well, it is already the most benevolent and righteous, and Wan Yao is not bitter......" Having said that, Xiao Wanyao knew that her aunt had received Xiao Ze's money but did not treat Xiao Wanyao well, but drove her to work and live a hard life since she was eight years old.
But in retrospect, it's all in the past, and saying it will only make my uncle feel more guilty, but it won't change anything, so it's okay not to say it.
Sure enough, my uncle was no longer so sad, but his face was full of sorrow, and he said quietly: "The lord has ignored you for eighteen years, but he picked you back shortly after the new emperor ascended the throne, do you understand the reason?" ”
Xiao Wanyao nodded: "I understand what my uncle wants to say, but as a daughter, Wan Yao has no choice, I just hope that my uncle can help Wan Yao at a critical moment." ”
Xiao Ze nodded: "You haven't complained to me for sending you away for eighteen years, and I really don't have any status in the Xiao family, if you don't dislike it, my uncle will be on your side!" ”
Xiao Wanyao smiled, knowing that his uncle was honest and didn't tell lies, and he also had some talents, and sooner or later he would be reused, so it would definitely be beneficial and harmless to befriend him when he was not in power.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wanyao couldn't help but sigh secretly, now she is really sensible and terrible, and everything has to be calculated, but in order to avoid going back to the old path, she also has to do this, and plan every step well, so that everyone will have a stable future.
"What about this, I don't know if my uncle is doing well now? Can you have children under your knees? Xiao Wanyao changed her previous sadness and asked.
Xiao Ze also felt a lot more relaxed after hearing this, and replied: "Life is okay, I still live in the old house in the northeast corner, and now I have a son, who is four years old, but Fu Bo, his mother went to ...... two years after he was born."
Xiao Wanyao knew that asking a question was just to have a reason to see her younger brother.
Xiao Wanyao smiled bitterly: "Why don't your uncle take me to see him!" ”
Xiao Ze hesitated for a moment, and finally said "Okay".
The house in the northeast corner is the old mansion of Xiao Mansion, and the rest of the place was expanded later, the old mansion is in disrepair, but it is quite passable, Xiao Ze lives here alone with his son, and there is a faint sense of happiness between his words, so that he can't hear the difficulty.
Xiao Wanyao looked at the old house in front of her, thinking that Xiao Ze gave almost all the money to his aunt back then, and it is conceivable whether his life in the past ten years has been good or not.
Uncle didn't say it, and she didn't want to mention it, so she could only double the compensation in the future.
"Daddy, you're back!"
What came out of the house was a four-year-old boy with pale skin, a pair of big black eyes that looked particularly innocent, and he staggered when he ran, that simple appearance made Xiao Wanyao's heart glow with pity.
The boy also noticed Xiao Wanyao, and he looked at her timidly with Xiao Ze's legs, looking curious.
Xiao Wanyao felt a pain in her heart, if her child was still alive, it should be so cute!
"Shuxian, this is your sister Wanyao, she is your uncle's daughter, go and get close to her!" Xiao Ze touched his son's head dotingly, and then said gently.
Xiao Shuxian looked at her, and finally shook his head: "Isn't the uncle's daughter a cousin?" My cousin is so fierce, I don't need so many cousins. ”
The child's understanding of the world is very wonderful, Xiao Wanyao believes that he doesn't actually hate himself, so he squats down patiently: "Not all cousins are fierce, come here!" ”
Xiao Shuxian shook slightly, and Xiao Ze hurriedly nudged him: "Dad assures you that Sister Wanyao will be good to Shuxian." ”
Xiao Shuxian nodded, hesitantly walked to Xiao Wanyao's side, and cautiously shouted: "Sister, ......" The voice was extremely sweet, and Xiao Wanyao laughed heartily at a rare time.
"The blessings of our Xiao family's children are behind!" Xiao Wanyao said it to Xiao Ze, and it seemed to be saying it to herself, and her tone was firm.
Xiao Ze stepped forward and touched his son's head: "I hope so!" ”
Xiao Shuxian didn't understand anything, but he also felt that Xiao Wanyao was very gentle with him, and after just one afternoon of getting along, Xiao Shuxian liked his sister more and more.
When Xiao Wanyao was about to leave, Xiao Shuxian walked up to her and pulled her sleeve: "Sister, will you come to see Shuxian in the future?" ”
Xiao Wanyao squatted down and said to him, "Yes, we are a family!" Shuxian wants to listen to his father, and his sister leaves first. She turned around and said to Xiao Ze: "Uncle, Wan Yao is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so she will leave first, and she will come back later." ”
Then Xiao Wanyao went back to her residence, never thought that it was the maid next to Liu Ruyun who was standing at the door to greet her, and when she saw Xiao Wanyao coming back, she said with a smile on her face: "The second miss is back, Mrs. has prepared some desserts after dinner, waiting for the second miss to go over and use it together!" ”
Xiao Wanyao replied: "Go back to Mrs. for me, Wanyao will change her clothes and go over immediately." ”
