Chapter 333 Stealing a Child
The pouty little chubby girl, covered with a cotton padded jacket, traveled through the night and was brought to an elm soft tent bed.
The fire was burning brightly in the superior guest room of Xianquanju.
A little bit of sandalwood slowly spread out, embellishing the whole room.
"If the Jiang family asks about it tomorrow, just say it was your own idea." Mu Yihan, half wearing a robe, gently pulled the little Nuobao's hair, and hummed lazily.
Ah Li was so sleepy that he yawned and rubbed his eyes in grievance.
Thinking of just now, he was woken up by the national teacher in the middle of his sleep and sent to "steal" someone else's child.
Is there any need to ask, of course he has to take the blame, does he dare to tell the truth, doesn't he have to maintain the image of the national teacher?
Otherwise, if people knew that a powerful figure with great power in the government and the government had someone steal a child late at night, how would the face of the imperial palace be saved if this got out!
"Yes, I will get up early tomorrow and go to the Jiang family to inform them first, so that they don't worry about not being able to see the child... Just say... Just say that I miss Nuobao." Ali said helplessly.
Mu Yihan was satisfied and raised his hand to wave him off, "Well, leave."
Ali was afraid that he would not take care of the little guy, so he hesitated for a while
and was still reluctant to leave. It was not until Mu Yihan felt that he was annoying and raised his eyes to stare at him for a while that he hurried away.
Before leaving, he did not forget to secretly extinguish the sandalwood, worried that it would suffocate little Nuobao.
Mu Yihan had already noticed it with his peripheral vision, and the sandalwood was used to help him fall asleep.
Ever since he came back from the battle in the sea of blood and corpses, he couldn't sleep well every night. As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with scenes of his most loyal and righteous confidants being framed and killed for following him...
The memories of the past were like a bloody abyss, and they kept flashing back in front of his eyes late at night.
This incense couldn't solve the problem fundamentally, but it could only make him feel a little better, so that he could sleep two or three hours a day.
However, thinking that burning incense was not good for the child, Mu Yihan didn't light it again, and just endured it.
Soon, the room returned to silence.
It was so quiet that only the breathing of Xiao Nuobao could be heard, and her occasional humming.
Mu Yihan held her on the inside of the couch, letting her head touch his shoulder. He lay on the outside, half-supported his arm, and looked at her with his eyes downcast for a long time.
The little Nuobao was sleeping soundly, looking very well-behaved.
She was only wearing an apricot-yellow bellyband and a pair of small underwear, revealing her fleshy little arms and legs, like four white radishes.
Guarding this sweet and soft little baby, Mu Yihan, who was always indifferent, couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
He inadvertently covered his heart, and with the light of the oil lamp, he looked at the little girl from her hair to her feet.
Finally, when he stared at her snow-white, fleshy, and half-raised little feet, Mu Yihan couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Where did that little pig's hoof come from?" He stretched out his cold fingers and poked it reluctantly.
"Hmm~" The little baby seemed to notice it, frowned, and kicked his feet again.
Mu Yihan stopped his hand quickly, for fear of waking her up. He didn't dare to put out the oil lamp until he saw her turn over and snore again.
After lying down lightly, he pulled the soft satin quilt over him and the little guy and covered them tightly.
Then, Mu Yihan stared at the dark bed curtains, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He didn't plan to sleep that night.
After all, without the sandalwood to help him sleep, he rarely fell asleep.
But somehow, after smelling the milk fragrance on Xiao Nuobao's body and listening to her snoring, Mu Yihan couldn't help but blink, and finally fell asleep.
Xiao Nuobao certainly slept well all night.
When she opened her eyes early the next morning, her chubby legs were still hanging on Mu Yihan's belly.
Her little hands were also not honest, one patted her face, and the other poked her armpits inexplicably.
"Huh? Uncle Mu?" Xiao Nuobao retracted her little hand and touched her face sleepily.
It was strange, how did she sleep in Xianquanju?
But thinking about it carefully, it was just that she was secretly brought here at night. Normally, my second brother and his wife would often do this at home.
Little Nuobao was used to being a "hot commodity". Seeing that Mu Yihan was sleeping soundly, he didn't make any noise. He just lay on the couch and played with his feet when he was bored.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of Ah Li talking with Yin'er outside the door woke Mu Yihan up.
"Thank you, Miss Yin'er, but my master doesn't like greasy breakfast, so you can take these snacks away."
"Just leave this bowl of rice porridge, these few side dishes, and a pot of hot tea with Taiping Houkui."
"Also, make another cup of goat milk tea and bring some snacks over. Nuobao is here with us too."
Hearing the news of breakfast, and looking at the bright sky outside the window, Mu Yihan narrowed his eyes unexpectedly.
Huh?
He actually slept until dawn?
On weekdays, even if he burned incense all night, he could hardly sleep for more than two hours.
But last night, after careful calculation, I slept for nearly three and a half hours.
Mu Yihan was surprised. He turned his head and saw a little chubby rolling beside him, chewing his toes and having a lot of fun.
"Ah, Uncle Mu, you're awake." The little Nuobao spit out his feet and grabbed his sleeve aggrievedly, "Nuobao is hungry. If you don't get up, my stomach will be flat."
Mu Yihan understood immediately.
It seems that the only variable last night was this little baby. Could it be that he slept well because he was watching over her?
The emotion in Mu Yihan's eyes melted away, and he touched Xiao Nuobao's belly, "Huh? So this is why you chew your toes? But I see that you have a lot of fat in your belly, and it won't flatten even if you're hungry for a few meals."
Xiao Nuobao's face drooped, and he immediately raised his back and rushed towards him, "Uncle Mu also said that Nuobao is fat, then you are bad, Nuobao will never pay attention to you again!"
"Haha!" Mu Yihan was amused by her little look.
Outside the door, Ah Li almost jumped up when he heard it. If he wasn't short, he would have hit the door frame.
He didn't hear it wrong...
The Grand Master, actually laughed out loud?
You know, it's rare to see him smile a little on weekdays, not to mention that he can be so "wild"!
After gently pushing open the door, Ah Li's sight hurriedly went in through the crack of the door.
At this time, he saw Xiao Nuobao lying on Mu Yihan's knees, and the two of them were poking each other's stomachs. After a while, they coaxed Xiao Nuobao to lie on his back, grinning.
"What are you peeking at? Come in." Mu Yihan retracted his smile when he noticed Ah Li opening the door.
"Nuobao is hungry, bring the food over quickly, or she will ignore me anymore."
Ah Li was overjoyed and of course hurried to do as he was told.
However, at this time, the situation at the Jiang family was like ice and fire...
