The next day, the eldest daughter of the Xia family slept until late morning again. Sitting in the garden, she pondered how to find an excuse to leave the manor and see the white-haired beauty. She fanned herself incessantly with a small folding fan, finally collapsing onto the cold stone table and complaining, "This awful weather is getting hotter and hotter, is it even possible to live like this…?"
Lianzi, standing behind, said, "Miss, let me fan you."
"No... just stand there quietly and be a beautiful sight." She said lazily, not because she found Lianzi annoying, but because Lianzi was only a ten-year-old girl, and she felt uneasy having a little girl serve her like this.
Lianzi lowered her head dejectedly and stood obediently behind Fengguang.
Feng Guang's body has always been precious. She is afraid of the cold when it is cold and the heat when it is hot. Her favorite seasons are spring and autumn, and her least favorite seasons are summer and winter. Even though her surname is Xia and she was born in summer, she really has no liking for the summer sun.
Suddenly, she saw two people walking down the corridor; it was Butler Zheng leading a boy.
Feng Guang had a good memory; she recognized the boy as Wu Qi, whom she had met once before. She got up and walked over, calling out to the steward, "Uncle Zheng, where are you going?"
Wu Qi's eyes lit up when he saw the scenery, but he remained respectful and didn't say anything.
Zheng Bo said, "Replying to Miss, this child is named Wu Qi. After his mother, Liu Shi, passed away, he was left all alone. I felt sorry for him and wanted him to be a servant in our household."
It turns out that Wuqi was the son of the deceased Liu!
I heard that Liu's husband passed away not long after the child was born. Now that Liu is dead, the child has no grandparents or anything, so it is indeed difficult for him to live.
Feng Guang looked at Wu Qi, his expression revealing nothing, but she felt very sorry for him. "Wu Qi, then you should stay in the Xia residence from now on. The people here are very nice, they won't bully you."
"Um... thank you, Miss Xia." Wu Qi nodded respectfully.
Zheng Bo said, "Miss, I will take Wu Qi to his residence first, and then I will take my leave."
"good."
Soon, Zheng Bo left with Wu Qi.
"Miss, do you know someone named Wu Qi?" Lianzi asked curiously.
Feng Guang countered, "Why do you think I know him?"
"If the young lady didn't know him, why would she take the initiative to come over and talk to him?"
"You're quite smart." Feng Guang turned and walked in another direction. "I've only met him once, but I never expected that he would be that Liu's child."
"Yes, I don't know what Uncle Zheng was thinking, why did he bring him in?"
Do you think Zheng Bo did something wrong?
"Of course," Lianzi said with a hint of resentment. "His mother died a murder, and the real culprit has still not been caught. If he brings bad luck to our household..."
Feng Guang tiptoed and patted Lianzi's head. "You're overthinking it. You know that Uncle Zheng is a kind-hearted man. It's normal for him to take pity on Wuqi and bring him back to the mansion. If Wuqi were outside, without parents, how would he, a child, survive?"
"I was just saying it casually..." Lianzi touched her head, feeling wronged, then realized that Fengguang was heading in the wrong direction. "Miss, what are you doing leaving the manor?"
