It doesn’t matter, my boyfriend is a eunuch!

The little girl must have had a deep impression of sour red lotus root, and she kept muttering, "Yes, my mother is from Jiangnan and knows how to make sour red lotus root. Are you really my uncle?"

This childish voice stirred Liu Li's heart again. He didn't want to show it in front of the child, so he could only hide it in his heart and barely uttered a few words, "I really am your uncle."

He stroked the little girl's hair with his hand, his eyes full of heartache and regret. She was already eight and a half years old, but how could she be so small, like a six or seven-year-old child.

He hugged Bin'er in his arms and sighed in his heart, good boy, all these years of your uncle's hard work were not in vain.

"Uncle." The girl's voice was small, but she was no longer afraid. "Uncle, please don't cry."

The little girl wiped his tears with her little hands, "Uncle, don't cry."

"Uncle didn't cry." Liu Li quickly wiped away her tears.

He didn't want to cry, but he couldn't stop the tears from falling.

After five years of house searches, many family members died or were exiled, leaving only his brother who was exiled to the frontier, his niece who was sent to Nuanhong Pavilion, and him who entered the palace as a eunuch.

In a place like Nuanhong Pavilion, if a woman wants to be a prostitute when she grows up, she needs the permission of the government to redeem herself...

Thinking of this, Liu Li felt even more grief-stricken. The despair she once had flooded her mind again.

"Lord Liu Li, don't be too sad. This person is already in front of you!" The elder spoke at the right time.

Although she had already guessed it, Liu Li still asked the question in her mind, "What's going on?"

"My third young lady begged the master a few days ago to redeem Liu Bin from Nuanhong Pavilion and temporarily arrange for him to stay in the Lin Mansion. She also arranged for Bin to attend the private school in the Lin Mansion, waiting for the next arrangement of Master Liu Li."

"Ah..." The words Liu Li wanted to say were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

Looking down at Bin'er, the little child was staring at him with the same eyes as her mother, still looking at him curiously.

The elder bowed slightly and said, "Sir, you two uncle and nephew have been reunited after a long time. You must have a lot of private things to say. I will go and prepare a small banquet first. Just tell me if you have anything to say."

Before Liu Li could open her mouth to refuse, the elder turned and left.

Liu Li held Liu Bin in her arms. He felt so light, like a cloud.

She curled up in Liu Li's arms, just a tiny being.

Yes, in a place like Nuanhong Pavilion, who would treat a daughter of a traitor like her as a human being? She was lucky to be still alive.

Liu Li rubbed Bin'er's head and asked softly, "When did Bin'er arrive at the Lin Mansion?"

Maybe it was the power of blood relationship or the little girl recognized her uncle, but she became bolder and started playing with his hand, saying in a very playful voice, "I just got here last night."

Ah, he just arrived last night, but he has already seen Bin'er today. Liu Li was even more moved.

He raised his head slightly, not daring to look at Bin'er, "Bin'er, are you doing well in your previous place?"

After asking this question, Liu Li couldn't help but tears welled up in his eyes. Although he knew that place was not for people to stay, he still couldn't help but want to know about Bin'er's past. He didn't even have the courage to mention "Nuanhong Pavilion".

"Uncle," Biner stretched out her bony little hand to wipe away the tears on Liu Li's cheeks, "Life wasn't that bad before, and it will be better in the future, don't cry."

She called him little uncle, and it seemed that she really remembered him.

In the past, when Bin'er was a child, he was always called "little uncle", but children who had just learned to speak did not pronounce the name standardly, and often called him "little uncle tiger" or "little tiger tiger". No matter what he was called, Liu Li would respond and carry Bin'er around the garden.

Bin'er was born pink and tender, and her family loved her very much. When she was little, she hardly walked, and she always walked on their shoulders and in their arms...

Now the eight and a half year old child can still nestle in his arms, even though he is so small.

Liu Li looked at Bin'er, a young child yet so precocious, and she actually comforted him, which made him very happy.

"Yes, the future will be better." Liu Li repeated subconsciously.

"Bin'er, you stay in the Lin Mansion for a while. Your uncle will come to see you once a month. Wait until your uncle finds a good place for you to live. Is that okay?" Liu Li looked at the face that was extremely similar to her brother and sister-in-law.

"Okay, I'll listen to my uncle."

Despite all these years, the phrase "little uncle" is still not very standard.

"You have to behave yourself in the Lin Mansion, and study hard when you go to private school, understand?"

Biner nodded.

"Uncle knows that you may have fallen behind in your studies over the years and can't keep up with the private school. Don't worry if you can't keep up. Let's take it slow, okay?"

"Okay. Uncle, I also learned some books in Nuanhong Pavilion."

Liu Li's heart seemed to be soaked in acid water, and the acid water flowed from his heart to his whole body.

"it is good"

Bin'er seemed to be hesitating about something, his eyes rolled around a few times, but he never spoke.

"Your father and uncle will also be rescued." Liu Li saw what her niece was thinking and spoke first.

Hearing these words, the little girl's eyes showed a little more peace, and she looked at Liu Li with a smile.

"Lord Liu Li?" A tentative voice came from outside the door.

"Lord Liu Li, the food is ready. You and Miss Bin'er, please come and have your meal." Judging from the voice, it should be the elder who just came.

Liu Li held Liu Bin's hand and followed the elder.

The maids and servants passing by would bow to the elder when they saw him. It seemed that this elder was not just a simple servant in the Lin Mansion.

"Sir, the master specifically instructed me to prepare a reunion dinner. One is to welcome Miss Bin'er, and the other is to celebrate the reunion of you two uncle and nephew after a long separation." The elder had a kind smile on his face.

"Minister Lin's kindness is so great that I, Liu Li, will never forget it." Liu Li bowed to the elder.

The elder waved his hand and said, "We are a family, why are you being so polite?"

Liu Li didn't eat, but just sat next to Bin'er and watched her eat.

Bin'er ate very quietly, taking small bites at a time. No wonder he was so thin.

I couldn't help thinking about the hard life Bin'er had in the past. Liu Li put a few pieces of meat in her bowl and reminded her: "Bin'er, you have to eat more in the future and eat well, okay?"

Biner nodded while eating.

While Bin'er was eating, Liu Li stuffed the silver bills in his sleeve into the elder's hand and said earnestly: "I will never be able to repay the great kindness of Minister Lin and Lady Lin in my lifetime. I know these are far less than what Minister Lin spent, but as his uncle, I just want to do my part." After saying this, his voice choked up again.

When the elder saw the banknote, he immediately took a step back and refused repeatedly, "Look, Master Liu Li is being too formal. As I just said, you are from the Third Miss's family, so you are also from the Lin family. We are all family, why do we have to be so distant?"

Seeing Bin'er, Liu Li wanted to take out all his belongings, but unfortunately he didn't have them with him. But the elder's words were also very appropriate, and it would not be the same if he gave them away.

Seeing Liu Li's hesitation, the elder smiled warmly and said in a very gentle voice, "Why not give it to Miss Bin'er? Although she won't be able to use it in the mansion, maybe it will be useful when she grows up."

When Liu Li returned to the palace, it was already dusk.

There were red clouds floating in the sky, and golden light was shining through the clouds.

Ever since the misfortune in his family, Liu Li has never felt that there is anything good in being alive. Every day is just a waste of time. The sky is gray and his face is gray too.

Now, life has become better.

That face appeared in Liu Li's mind again, that bright and lively face, completely different from the stupid and shallow Lin Zhihe before.
