When Zhou Xiaozheng got up early in the morning, there was a tail following him, and it was a big tail that was good at acting cute and pleasing.
He was about to get up, but his slippers were already in front of him...
He wanted to brush his teeth, but the toothbrush was already filled with toothpaste...
He wants...
In short, Zhou Xiaozheng felt that he had broadened his horizons.
——This brat has no shame at all. He even follows me closely when I go to the toilet.
"You're not going to talk, are you? Then I'm going to work."
Wuyi touched his head and said, "Hehe... Grandpa, who are you? How could my grandpa not guess your grandson's little thoughts?"
"Haha, did you eavesdrop yesterday?"
Wuyi rolled his eyes and said, "No, I just happened to hear it when I passed by the study."
Zhou Xiaozheng pointed at him speechlessly... "Only one of you three brothers can go!"
Wuyi immediately patted his chest and said, "I represent it."
"Aren't you afraid that the two of them will team up to beat you up?"
Wuyi looked at him in surprise. "How is that possible? I'm the youngest in the family, so weak. Shouldn't you protect me and pamper me?"
Zhou Xiaozheng finally understood Ping An's helplessness. No wonder Lian Liuyi often responded with a "hehe" laugh. It turned out that his little grandson had taken shamelessness to its extreme...
"Don't your buddies want to put a sack on you behind your back?"
Wuyi blinked, "They're afraid of my counterattack."
"Hahaha... Not bad, at least you have some self-awareness."
"So, you agree?" Wuyi blinked and looked at him expectantly.
Zhou Xiaozheng glanced at him sideways. "You and your grandma can only watch and not talk too much. If you have any questions in your heart, you have to hold them in. Can you do that?"
Wuyi immediately straightened his body, kicked his legs, and took a standard military posture. He saluted him with a "pa" sound, and shouted loudly with a serious expression: "Yes, I guarantee to complete the mission!"
Zhou Xiaozheng's eyes twitched when he saw this, and he turned around quickly. This was his grandson. If it were anyone else, he would have chased him away with a stick long ago.
There has always been a saying in old Beijing that "the east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is humble."
Given the wealth of the old Mu family, it was not surprising that they had a courtyard house in secret. This meeting was scheduled to take place in a courtyard house deep in a hutong in Xicheng.
That afternoon, the old butler left the two foreigners who were protecting him at the Capital Hotel, and he brought Lei Tianming with him to wait there.
It was around 2:00 p.m. when Miao Lishan and her grandson Wuyi arrived. Snowflakes were floating in the sky, and children could be seen playing snowball fights along the alley.
"Auntie, here."
As Lei Tianming's voice fell, the door opened and an old man in a black woolen coat, standing in the courtyard with snowflakes on his head, dressed in a messy black and white outfit...
As soon as the door was closed, the old man who had been standing there in a daze immediately walked forward quickly, knelt on his knees and kowtowed when he was five steps away from Miao Lishan.
Then he raised his head and looked at Miao Lishan with tearful eyes, "Miss, I finally get to see you."
Miao Lishan was immediately startled by this series of fluent movements.
Apart from her own grandson paying New Year's greetings, she had never seen anyone kneel down and kowtow to her without saying a word. What's more, this man looked to be in his seventies and was shivering with cold, unable to even speak complete sentences.
She hurried forward to help him up, "Old man, get up first, let's talk later, get up first."
Wuyi raised an eyebrow at this. It seemed his great-grandmother was quite resourceful. After all these years, she was still able to show her kindness and perform ancient rituals towards her master. Not bad!
After entering the living room, the old butler stood in front of Miao Lishan with his hands behind his back and refused to take a seat. In his own words, he didn't like sitting and preferred standing.
Finally, Wuyi reminded him that since there were no outsiders present, it would be better for them to sit down and chat. This time, he asked the old man to sit respectfully on the lower stool.
Lei Tianming had already seen the old housekeeper's stubbornness, so he wasn't too surprised. Wasn't that how he was nearly scared out of his wits before?
Miao Lishan opened her mouth, but now she didn't know how to address the other person.
Having been the housekeeper for so many years, how could the old man Gao Fu not be a little impressed? He immediately said, "Miss, you can just call me Ah Fu. I take my wife's surname, Gao. She said she would give me the character 'Fu' so that I can be with the Third Young Master and bring good fortune to both the master and the servant. Hahaha, my wife is really as foresighted as a god."
Wuyi, listening to this, thought to himself what a shame. He finally understood: this was the loyal servant his father had spoken of. If only his family had one.
Miao Lishan breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little amused at the same time.
Her biological mother would rather take the surname of her adoptive father, the Gao family. How much did she hate the surname Gu? Yet, she still let herself be raised by Gu Ruyi.
Alas... once a person dies, everything is over. It’s better not to mention it.
She looked at the old man with gentle eyes, "Uncle Fu, thank you for your hard work in traveling such a long distance."
Gao Fu shook his hands repeatedly, "It's not hard! It's not hard! I am satisfied that I haven't seen the eldest lady in my lifetime. I will dare to see the lady after I die."
Seeing them continue the conversation, Lei Tianming poked Wuyi and signaled that he would go outside first.
Wuyi knew very well that he wanted to avoid suspicion, so he pulled his hand and shook his head slightly.
It was truly unpredictable. He trusted Lei Tianming's character, but as for the rest of the Miao family, hehe... forget it. When they returned, someone would inevitably bring up this meeting.
Once the Miao family learned that the old butler and his grandmother had spent a considerable amount of time alone and talking, it was hard to guarantee that some people would not become disgusted and think that the old butler was transferring some property on behalf of the original owner.
The Miao family still looked like the three brothers who were each in charge of the family, but it was hard to say what would happen in the future. He still had to be on guard.
Wuyi saw the old man's pleased look when he saw his actions, and he knew he couldn't hide it. However, he didn't intend to hide anything in the first place.
Miao family?
To be honest, he really doesn't think much of it!
If it weren't for his grandmother and his cousin who had always treated him and his three brothers sincerely, no matter how much wealth the Miao family had, it would be nothing compared to his Zhou family!
"Miss, I'm sorry you've been wronged. A respectable member of the Miao family can't even recognize you. Before you came, your three brothers asked me to convey this: 'The door of the Miao family will always be open to you. No matter when, no matter what your status, you are the eldest daughter of the Miao family.'
The Third Young Master also asked me to give you a hint. Although it's not easy to disclose your identity, everyone in the family knows that there is a great-aunt in the Miao family. He told you not to worry, as long as you are in danger, someone in the family will take you away.
Wuyi's eyes flashed when he heard that.
Miao Lishan sighed softly, "Alas...what could have happened to me? Tell them to take good care of themselves. If we're destined to meet again in this lifetime."
"Okay, I'll definitely tell them this to make them happy."
The old butler stood up and took out a briefcase from the side. He took out a large leather envelope and handed it to her, "Miss, this is a list of the property under your name."
Miao Lishan quickly waved her hand and refused: "Take it back! I know a little bit about what happened back then. The Miao family's inheritance can only be given to the three brothers."
