When Yingchun heard this, she said quickly, "Yes, Second Young Master, I'll go call Panchun and the others to come and make some hot soup."

Yingchun's face looked very ugly, probably because she was frightened just now.

I said, "Cook some ginger soup, beat some eggs, add some glutinous rice balls, and some brown sugar. It can drive away the cold and fill your stomach. Bring some up to us after it's done. If Master Lu and Steward Lu are still awake, send someone to bring some up, too."

Yingchun replied, "Yes, Second Young Master."

After Yingchun agreed, she hurried out regardless of her discomfort.

I glanced at Jinping who was quacking and said, "Why don't you go back to your room? What are you hiding here for?"

Jinping looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, "You think I don't want to go back to my room? It's just that I'm afraid to be alone, so I have to stay here."

I sat on the stool, poured myself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and then said, "Luckily, there were no casualties here tonight, otherwise it would be troublesome."

Jinping came over and sat next to me, asking curiously, "Ah Man, when did you learn martial arts? And the way you killed people just now was so cruel, I was scared."

Yi Ping sat down on my other side, gently touching her swollen forehead with her hand, and said, "Second sister, I was also scared just now, but this time I'm not as scared as the last time I saw the beheading."

I touched Yiping's head and said, "You are great. You finally defeated yourself. When you are fearless, you have truly surpassed yourself."

Yiping seemed to understand what I said, but she felt that I was praising her, so she straightened her back proudly and said, "I also feel that I have become more powerful."

Jinping said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Ah Man, you haven't responded to my question just now."

I said, "Don't ask so many questions. I practice martial arts to become stronger and protect you. It's the same reason why you study hard to support us in the future. If you keep asking, it will become redundant."

Jinping was choked by me and was speechless. He pursed his lips and said, "If you don't want to ask, then don't ask."

As soon as Jinping finished speaking, Lu Chuan's voice came from outside the door: "Second Young Master, may I come in?"

I put down my teacup and said, "Come in."

Unexpectedly, Lu Chuan came with his wife and children.

Lu Chuan's wife, An Yunlu, was a bit dark and thin, not pretty, but she looked gentle and lovely, with a smile on her face. When she saw me, she bowed and said, "Second Young Master, I am Lu Chuan's wife, An Yunlu, and this is my and my husband's son, Lu Wenhui. Wenhui is six years old and can't hear or speak. Please don't be offended, Second Young Master."

I was a little surprised at first. The screams just now were deafening, but Lu Wenhui remained calm. It wasn't that he was brave, but it turned out that he was deaf.

I understood and said, "It's okay, Madam Lu, you were frightened just now, weren't you?"

An Yunlu smiled and shook her head, saying, "I used to follow my husband on business trips. On the way, we often encountered robbers. I have experienced life and death countless times. Although I am afraid, I am not scared. It's just that this is the first time for my son to experience such a thing. Although he can't hear, I am afraid that he will feel uneasy when he sees it. That's why my husband is so nervous."

I listened to her and praised her: "I didn't expect that Madam Lu also followed her husband in business. She is as capable as a man. I admire her."

An Yunlu smiled calmly and said, "It's just for a couple of mouths to feed. If there is a way to make a living, no one wants to run around like this."

I nodded and said, "Madam Lu, what you said makes sense. But having said that, although tonight was an unexpected disaster, such things may still happen in the future. If Madam Lu is afraid, she can choose not to follow Butler Lu to work in the mansion."

An Yunlu still smiled and said, "As long as the Second Young Master doesn't chase us away, we won't leave. The world is so big, where is there a pure land? Nowadays, natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, and there is no place that is not dangerous. Rather than staying outside and starving, it is better to stay in the Second Young Master's house and have enough food to eat."

I didn't expect An Yunlu to be so wise. I smiled and said to Lu Chuan, "Your wife is a great person. I feel much more at ease with her by your side."

Lu Chuan glanced at his wife and grinned.

An Yunlu gently hit Lu Chuan on the chest and said softly, "What are you laughing at, idiot."

Mo Ming was fed a mouthful of dog food, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

At this time, Yingchun brought in ginger soup. I said to Lu Chuan, "It's freezing cold, and you just got frightened. You should all drink some ginger soup to warm yourself up before going to rest."

Lu Chuan was about to refuse, but Lu Wenhui tugged at his sleeve, his eyes revealing his desire for food.

Looking at Lu Wenhui's expression, my heart skipped a beat. I waved to Lu Wenhui and said, "Come here."

An Yunlu was just about to say that he couldn't hear me, but Lu Wenhui actually walked up to me and stared at me with his round eyes.

I pointed at the ginger soup on the table and asked, "Do you want to eat this?"

Lu Wenhui actually nodded.

When Lu Chuan and An Yunlu saw that Lu Wenhui actually nodded, they looked at each other in disbelief, with indescribable shock in their eyes!

I filled a bowl with ginger soup and placed it on the table, then said to Lu Wenhui, "Come sit on this stool."

Lu Wenhui sat on the stool obediently. I handed him a soup spoon and said, "It's still hot. Eat slowly."

Lu Wenhui seemed to really understand what I said. He took the spoon and started eating it in small bites.

An Yunlu rushed over, hugged Lu Wenhui, and said with a sob: "Son, son, look at mother, you can hear us talking, right? Can you answer mother?"

But this time, Lu Wenhui seemed to be deaf. No matter what An Yunlu said, he remained indifferent and didn't even look at An Yunlu.

An Yunlu couldn't help crying when he saw his son return to his original appearance.

Lu Chuan quickly walked forward and hugged his wife, saying softly: "After so many years, you should be used to it. Don't be sad."

I looked at Lu Wenhui, then at Lu Chuan and his wife, and couldn't help but say, "Your son is not deaf, nor can he not speak, but he has autism."

An Yunlu and Lu Chuan looked at me at the same time. An Yunlu asked anxiously, "Second Young Master, what is autism?"

I thought about it and said, "This is what you call autism. Children with this condition will only hear what they want to hear, and will block out what they don't want to hear and have no reaction. It's not that they can't speak, they just don't want to speak. This condition can actually be treated, but it requires parents to have great patience and love."

"Patience and love?" An Yunlu knelt down immediately after hearing this and cried, "My husband and I have lost our minds for food and tea because of Wenhui. In order to treat the child, we have even given up our business and would rather make money by cooking breakfast in the capital to pay for Wenhui's treatment. For Wenhui, we are willing to do anything and give up everything. Please, Second Young Master, please save our Wenhui."
