Chapter 1016: Uncle and Sister-in-law’s Murder of the Original Wife (8)

Yue Shichu brought Zhichun to the gate of the Ten-Li Lotus Pond. Before they entered, they could hear the faint sound of a musical instrument coming from inside.

"It looks like it's quite lively." Yue Shichu opened the fan in his hand and suddenly became a suave and wealthy young man, "Zhichun, let's go in."

However, before she could even step into the courtyard, a three-head-tall little girl suddenly rushed out from nowhere, hugged her legs, raised her little head and called in a baby voice, "Uncle..."

However, when she took a look at Yue Shichu's face, she immediately frowned, her eyes were confused, and she tentatively called out in confusion, "Uncle?"

"Little cutie, you've got the wrong person. Brother is not your uncle. Have you lost your uncle?" Yue Shichu picked up the little girl, pinched her little face, and asked.

"Brother?" the little girl called out in a baby voice again. Yue Shichu nodded and replied, "Yes, you can call me brother. What's your name?"

"Changle!" The little girl opened her pair of round, black and bright eyes and looked at Yue Shichu curiously. She was not afraid of strangers at all.

"So your name is Changle. Then let me ask you another question. What's your uncle's name?" Yue Shichu asked her with a gentle smile.

"Just call uncle uncle." Little girl Changle answered as a matter of course.

Yue Shichu choked and thought, forget it, it was indeed a bit difficult to ask a two or three-year-old girl her uncle's name. Yue Shichu looked around but didn't find anyone who fit the identity of "uncle".

"Are you here to play with your uncle? Why don't you see your uncle?" Yue Shichu asked the little girl patiently.

"Uncle...Uncle is going to look for someone..." The little girl Changle blinked her eyes and blurted out some incoherent words.

"Second Young Master, maybe the young lady's uncle was playing in the lotus pond and accidentally forgot about her." Zhichun guessed.

Yue Shichu also thought that the adults must have been too absorbed in playing and got separated from the little girl, and there was no one around to ask, so he carried her into the lotus pond.

The Ten-Li Lotus Pond is actually a large garden, but the largest area of ​​the garden is the lotus pond, so it is called that.

"Little darling, do you remember where your uncle is playing? Can you take your brother to find your uncle?" Yue Shichu said to the little girl.

"Okay." The little girl answered very quickly and actually pointed in a direction to Yue Shichu. However, Yue Shichu walked further and further away and found that he was already quite far away from the lotus pond and had arrived at one of the few houses in the garden.

"Is your uncle really in there?" Yue Shichu began to doubt what the little girl said.

"Play hide and seek with uncle..." the little girl Changle said with a smile, clapping her hands.

Yue Shichu slapped her forehead immediately. She was so stupid that she actually took the words of a two or three-year-old child seriously. She said to the little girl seriously: "We are going to find your uncle, not to play hide-and-seek with your uncle. Do you understand?"

The little girl looked at Yue Shichu with a pair of innocent round eyes, then looked away guiltily and muttered in a low voice: "Uncle... I don't know where my uncle went..."

"Second Young Master, she may not even know where her uncle is. Let's leave here quickly. There seems to be no one here, and it's too quiet..." Zhichun said a little fearfully.

"Then let's go out." Yue Shichu agreed. Such remote places are either the scene of female rapes or murders. If people like them who are not the protagonists run into it, they may become cannon fodder. Although she is not afraid of any danger, she is afraid of trouble, so she carried the little girl Changle out again.

There are many pavilions beside the lotus pond, with groups of people inside enjoying the scenery, chatting, or drinking tea and wine. In short, they are leisurely and happy. Some people have already gone boating on the lake, reciting poems, painting, playing the piano and dancing with swords, enjoying themselves very much.

Yue Shichu looked around but didn't find any free boats. He immediately said in annoyance, "Zhichun, do we have to bring our own boat to play here?"

Zhichun had never been here before, so she immediately said cleverly, "Second Young Master, how about I ask if there is a place to rent a boat?"

"Then go ahead, I'll wait for you here." Yue Shichu replied, so Zhichun went to inquire.

At this moment, Miss Changle's eyes lit up. She pointed at a soft pink lotus in full bloom by the lotus pond, turned around and said to Yue Shichu expectantly, "Huahua, pick some flowers..."

Yue Shichu pinched her chubby little face and said, "You can't just pick flowers casually, but we can go over and look at them or touch them."

As she spoke, she carried little Changle to the lotus flower beside the lotus pond, held her sideways, asked the little girl to stretch out her little fleshy hand, and said, "Come, you can touch it."

The little girl smiled so hard that her eyes curved, and she curiously reached out to touch the flower.

"Brother, I touched a flower!" Little Changle cried out in surprise when she touched the beautiful lotus flower with fragrance. As she spoke, she greedily moved her little body outward, wanting to touch more petals.

"Changle!" A male voice full of anxiety and panic came from not far away. Before Yue Shichu could react, the man who shouted suddenly used his lightness skills to leap over and snatch Changle from her hands.

Yue Shichu was knocked to the side involuntarily by his rough collision. If it weren't for her quick reaction and agility, she would have been knocked into the lotus pond by him.

Yue Shichu was immediately furious: "What's wrong with you, man? Not only did you lose the child, but you also turned against me and tried to knock me into the pond?!"

Zhai Wanting had quickly checked Changle's body and found that she was not injured. He breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Yue Shichu's words, he became impatient and asked with a cold face, "How dare you scold me? Just now, most of Changle's body was hanging over the pond. If your hand shook, she would fall in. Don't you know how dangerous this is?!"

Yue Shichu laughed out of anger and said, "My hands are not shaking at all, and I only do this when I am sure of myself. It's not reckless. But you, you are Changle's uncle, right? When I met Changle, she had already walked out of the garden alone, without anyone around her. Don't you know how dangerous it would be for a little girl like her to appear outside if she was seen by human traffickers? At that time, where was your uncle?"

Zhai Wanting was immediately speechless after hearing her words.

"Brother, uncle, please stop quarreling." The little girl Changle pulled her uncle's arm and blinked at Yue Shichu. At such a young age, she still had to worry about helping adults to stop quarreling.

When Yue Shichu saw her like this, he softened his heart and said, "Forget it. For the sake of little Changle, I'll forgive you for almost knocking me into the pool."
