C99 (1/2)

After Zhou Leping finished reading the blood letter, he was silent for a long time. The death of Madam Wang wasn't entirely because of that, he had lost a leg, and his movements were inconvenient. In the future, people would have to take care of him from the side.

Xiao Wan had followed him to take care of him for the rest of his life, he didn't want to implicate his daughter, so he just let his wife take care of him.

Not only was she cowardly, she was even less responsible. Xiao Wan was only five years old, and finally managed to get his father to reunite with his family. However, in the blink of an eye, both his parents were gone, and she was an orphan.

She ordered her men to bury Zhou Zheng together with Madam Wang, and keep him in his room alone for a day. In the evening, she went to Zhu Guanliang's place to find Xiao Wan, but no matter what, she had to tell her the truth.

Xiao Wan slept at Zhu Guanliang's place in the afternoon, and when it was night, she was in good spirits. Zhu Guanliang threw a handful of herbs for her to play with, and when she went out to collect the dried herbs, she saw Zhou Leping standing at the door, waving at her.

”Why didn't you come in?”

”Xiao Wan... ”Are you all right here?” She had been brewing all day and still didn't know how to tell a five-year-old about it.

”It's not bad, I just miss my mother a little.” He said, ”It's better if you tell her as soon as possible. She's still young, so she'll be sad for a while. In a few days, she'll be fine.”

”Zhou Zheng also committed suicide in the Sky Prison, she...”

Zhu Guanliang turned around to take a look at the room, his eyebrows knitted, ”Then I'll go speak with you?”

Zhou Leping hurriedly nodded his head, ”That's fine too, I... I really don't know how to tactfully tell her that she's close to you and that it's best if you tell her that General's Estate will be her home in the future. If you feel uncomfortable, you can just hug her and cry for a while. ”

Zhou Leping put down the things in his hands and simply turned around to return. Zhou Leping was anxiously waiting in the courtyard, but before long, a young and clear cry came from inside the room.

The sound was heart-wrenching and heartbreaking. She paced back and forth, her footsteps becoming more and more urgent as she cried.

However, a child was still a child. After not crying for a while, he was already tired of crying. He could not move his crying and could only lean on Zhu Guanliang's shoulder and sob, ”Mother … Mom and Dad both … You won't be able to come back? ”

Zhu Guanliang didn't have any experience bringing children, and he didn't really like children either. But he didn't know why this child was so sticky to him, and seeing how sad she was crying, he could only allow her to rub his nose, waiting for her to calm down, then gently pat her back, ”From now on, General's Estate is your home.”

Xiao Wan burped from crying, ”But... I want... ”Mother …”

”Mother and Father are watching you from the sky.”

”I don't want them in the sky. I want them by my side.”

Although Xiao Wan was sticking close to him, it was actually very quiet. Most of the time, if he gave her a handful of winnings, she would be able to quietly play with it for a long time without his worry.

As a result, he was unable to understand the difficulties of bringing a child, much less what to do in order to coax the child. For a moment of silence, he was speechless.

Zhou Leping gradually stopped crying when he heard it, and carefully walked in, upon entering the door, he saw Xiao Wan with red eyes lying on Zhu Guanliang's body, and quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

”Xiao Wan.”
