Chapter 467: The Truth About His Son's Disappearance is Revealed
Little Liu wiped the tears from his face and said, "That's right, Father. A few days ago, I offended the master of my household in the capital. It was Lord Zhou who rescued me and gave me a job at the Zhou household."
Master Liu was heartbroken. "My son, how could you become a servant? You are the only legitimate son of our Liu family!"
His words echoed in the room.
Du Wanchun and Nan Fengling exchanged a smile.
Little Liu lowered his head and said, "Father, I am just a servant now, I can't be your son."
Old Master Liu's eyes were red and tears slowly fell as he hugged little Liu tightly. "Child, what nonsense are you talking about? You will always be my son, the eldest grandson of the Liu family!"
He said this heavily, his voice gradually becoming tinged with a sob.
For more than ten years, he had believed that his son had drowned. Now that he had found his son again, it felt like a dream.
Xiao Liu was a little out of breath from his embrace and slowly pushed him away.
Master Liu realized he had lost his composure and quickly wiped away his tears. He calmed down and asked, "Lin'er, what exactly happened back then? How did you get lost from us? I remember I sent several maids and servants to follow you."
Xiao Liu had been waiting for this very sentence, and he truthfully replied, "Back then, I did have some maids and servants with me, but Aunt Wei pulled me aside and told me to wait for you at the tavern by the river."
“I listened to her and went to the tavern, but I waited for a long time and nothing happened. Later, two strange men put me in a sack and threw me into a pile of beggars.”
After hearing his words, Master Liu astutely grasped a few key points and said, "You said that Concubine Wei took you to the tavern by the river?"
Aunt Wei was the concubine whom Master Liu made his principal wife.
Xiao Liu nodded.
Mr. Liu was furious and suddenly stood up, saying, "I never expected it to be her!"
At this point, he still couldn't quite believe it and asked Xiao Liuzi again, "Are you really sure that it was Aunt Wei who took you to the tavern?"
Xiao Liu looked up at him seriously, "Yes, Dad, it was her. When she took me to the tavern, she pinched my arm hard and told me to stay there and not go anywhere, or she would beat me!"
This wasn't the first time Aunt Wei had secretly hit him.
He was young at the time, so naturally he was scared.
Master Liu's face gradually turned pale. In his eyes, the concubine he loved had always been a kind and gentle woman. He never expected her to be so vicious.
His legs gradually became unsteady, and he felt as if he had just woken up from a dream, suddenly understanding many things.
His first wife was seriously ill, and the doctor said there was still hope, but she died in less than three months.
At the time, Mr. Liu thought she was overwhelmed with grief because she had lost her child, but now it seems that things are not so simple.
"Dad! Don't you believe me?" Xiao Liu's voice was slightly hoarse, and his hands were trembling. He never expected that even at this time, his father would still choose to believe that woman.
After a long silence, Mr. Liu walked to Xiao Liu's side and said solemnly, "Child, don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth."
At this moment, Nan Fengling, who could no longer stand it, raised his voice and said, "Master Liu, if you want to investigate, you'd better hurry up, otherwise before you find out anything, your son in the manor will send someone to poison Xiao Liu again."
"What did you say?" Old Master Liu turned around abruptly to look at her. "You said someone poisoned my son?"
Du Wanchun continued, "That's right. Just a few days ago, someone from your household came and offered money to bribe our cook to poison Xiao Liu's food."
"If we hadn't discovered it early, Xiao Liu would be dead by now."
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Mr. Liu's forehead. He gasped for breath. He had just reunited with his child and could not bear to lose him again.
Du Wanchun continued, "Master Liu, you should finish dealing with the household affairs as soon as possible before coming to pick him up."
Master Liu bowed to Du Wanchun and said, "Yes, Manager Du, thank you for taking care of my son."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "I have said that he is a benefactor of our Zhou family, so we will naturally take good care of him."
After hearing Du Wanchun's words, Master Liu breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then asked Doctor Xu about Xiao Liu's injury.
When he heard Doctor Xu say that Xiao Liu's injuries were very serious, his body trembled again, and his hatred for the mother and son in the mansion grew even stronger.
The father and son recognized each other, and both cried their eyes out.
Master Liu truly doted on this son, constantly asking him questions about this and that.
"My child, does your injury still hurt?"
"My child, what would you like to eat? I'll have someone make it for you."
"Child, don't be afraid. With me here, no one will dare to bully you again."
“My child, from now on you will follow your father, and I will never let you suffer even the slightest grievance again.”
......
Seeing that the father and son were catching up, Du Wanchun did not stay any longer and left Xiao Liu's house with Nan Fengling.
As she turned to leave, she noticed that Zhou Ruiyuan had arrived at the door at some point.
Du Wanchun slowly walked up to him and said, "Husband, what brings you here?"
