Xiao Xiyou actually had his own plans for these matters, now the Empress and the Third Prince.
Both mother and son are very cunning and were never good people before. How could they possibly change so suddenly?
Xiao Xiyou was not a stupid person, so he naturally understood the situation very well.
The two were immediately stopped as soon as they stepped onto the street.
"How dare you! You dare to come here in the Second Prince's carriage?"
"Don't you even know what you are?"
The servants were cursing and were about to send someone over to beat up the person blocking their way when Zhou Zhizhi lifted the carriage curtain and saw a small child.
His eyes were clearer, and there was absolutely no scheming in them.
"Wait!"
She shouted, and Xiao Xiyou, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes half-closed, was also woken up.
The child's mother-in-law was only about five or six years old. I don't know what happened, but she was all alone here.
Even if you don't get hit by a horse-drawn carriage, you'll still be bullied by bad guys as carriages come and go on the street.
Zhou Zhizhi glanced awkwardly at Xiao Xiyou, who had been sitting next to her staring intently at her.
"Your Highness, this child has no family with him. May I go down and ask him?"
The clothes he was wearing were tattered and ragged, and his face was covered in dirt.
Zhou Zhizhi looked at the little child with round, dark eyes and felt really sorry for him.
Xiao Xiyou turned his head but didn't say anything more, which meant he agreed.
Zhou Zhizhi quickly got off the carriage, and the child stared blankly, not knowing what to say.
Just now, as a servant, I had already felt wronged by being yelled at and scolded.
But now it seems like he's been scared out of his wits.
Zhou Zhizhi squatted down, lifting her skirt, her expression gentle and her voice exceptionally soft.
"what are you doing here?"
Where have my father and mother gone?
Zhou Zhizhi was indeed very concerned.
It rained again yesterday, and the weather got much colder; the roads are a bit damp.
The child's nose was red from the cold, and even his hands were very red from the cold.
It's heartbreaking to see.
Zhou Zhizhi thought the child must have been frightened by the servant from earlier.
A hand tried to grab the child's hand, but the child took a step back to avoid it.
Xiao Xiyou moved over and stared at the carriage curtain.
Zhou Zhizhi does indeed have many facets, but he has never seen this side of her before.
Zhou Zhizhi saw the child take a step back, clearly frightened, but not angry.
His smiling eyes crinkled, showing absolutely no danger.
"My sister is the Imperial Advisor of the current dynasty; she's not a bad person."
“If you get separated from your father and mother, your sister can use her connections to help you find them.”
"May I?"
Her best quality is that she gives others the power of choice, which prevents her from feeling rushed or controlled.
The child kept clutching his already tattered pants that were showing his knees.
Having confirmed that the woman was not a bad person, and after observing that the sedan chair was indeed extremely luxurious,
Feeling that such a young child posed no threat, he simply nodded.
"My father and mother are both dead."
"I'm hungry..."
After the child finished speaking, he didn't cry at all; he just looked at Zhou Zhizhi with his round, bright eyes.
It seemed as if his eyes were still hoping that Zhou Zhizhi would buy him some food.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhizhi felt as if her heart had been suddenly gripped.
"If you don't mind, I can take you back to my house so you won't go hungry anymore, is that alright?"
Zhou Zhizhi felt extremely distressed; the child's fingertips were frozen stiff, like stones.
"Wu Da, go buy a bowl, and then buy a few sesame seed cakes."
"Tell the owner you want it a little warm, not too hot."
Some of the sesame seed cakes are fresh out of the oven; if you eat them right now, your mouth will definitely be full of blisters from the heat.
After hearing this, Wu Da immediately went over.
After hearing this, the child kept nodding, as if afraid of missing something.
Having lived here for so long, I probably only eat the leftovers from other people's restaurants every day.
In winter, all we can do is endure the cold. Although the previous winters were not easy to get through, we still managed to get through them.
After saying that, the child kept staring in one direction.
Zhou Zhizhi didn't understand what he meant, but following his gaze, she saw several children wearing clothes that were obviously thicker than hers.
But the outermost one is shorter, just like the one the child in front of me is wearing.
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, the child clenched his fists tightly: "They stole my clothes."
“That was made for me by my mother.”
After hearing this, Zhou Zhizhi immediately understood what it meant.
He gave Wu Er a wink, and Wu Er hesitated for a moment.
He is, after all, a grown man, and his martial arts skills are quite impressive.
If we just take some people over there to bully those little beggars like this, wouldn't that be extremely unsportsmanlike?
But in the end, he dared not disobey his boss's orders.
So he simply winked at the people next to him, and they followed him over.
Zhou Zhizhi actually felt sorry for those little beggars, but ultimately they shouldn't be killing each other.
"May I have your name?"
She felt a closer affinity for the child than for the child, as if there was an inexplicable sense of closeness between them.
The child then took another step forward, his dirty little hand pinching her index finger.
"My name is Amu, given to me by my mother."
"My mother said she hopes I can grow tall and strong like a tree!"
After hearing this, Zhou Zhizhi smiled gently, her eyes showing tenderness.
"Amu, my name is Zhou Zhizhi, and I will be your older sister from now on."
After Zhou Zhizhi finished speaking, she deliberately shook her own hand, the one that Amu had been shaking.
Amu laughed along, but he was extremely thin now, like a stick.
At this moment, Wu Er walked over and somewhat embarrassedly stuffed the clothes into Amu's hand.
"Your clothes."
"Put it on quickly."
The clothes were indeed a bit dirty. Zhou Zhizhi glanced at them, then took off her cloak, folded it, and covered Amu with it.
This way, you can build a double-layered structure, and it won't drag directly on the ground.
"I'll have someone wash it for you when we get back, but this garment is indeed quite worn out. We'll just keep it as a keepsake for you."
"Can I take you out again tomorrow to buy some clothes for you to wear now?"
Amu has lived here for so long.
