Nanqi stood aside and couldn't help but smile. But when he thought of his master's scolding yesterday, he suppressed his smile.

Zhang Bo turned his gaze, a look of surprise on his face. "Huh? Nanqi, what's wrong with your eyes? Did someone hit you?"

Nanqi quickly covered his eyes, and the smile on his face disappeared completely, leaving only an embarrassed look.

"No, I bumped into it accidentally." His remaining eye looked evasive and his ears were red.

Baili Moqing caught a glimpse of Nanqi's flushed face, and instantly felt relieved. Picking up the bowl again, he ate with peace of mind and comfort.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Baili Moqing felt that his breathing became much easier, and he was no longer as afraid of the cold as before. He couldn't help but feel surprised. That woman did have some real skills.

At this moment, a little head popped out from outside the door, peeking inside curiously and nervously.

My mother said that I can’t come to the east room and can’t go to see the immortal brother because the immortal brother will be angry...

Why was he angry with Yier?

Xiao Yier was a little timid, and when she saw Baili Moqing looking at her, she immediately retracted her head. But after a while, she couldn't help but stick her head in again.

Baili Moqing thought she was cute and waved at her. "Why don't you come in?"

Xiao Yier is wearing a thick cotton coat, and she looks like a little dumpling, very cute.

But why did her face, which usually smiled when she saw him, now have a hint of sadness and grievance?

"What's wrong with Yier? Are you unhappy? Did anyone bully you?" Nanqi asked with concern when he saw this.

Xiao Yier took small steps to Baili Moqing's wheelchair, looked at Nanqi, then looked at Baili Moqing, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, and she lowered her head in grievance.

Baili Moqing's heart moved, and he quickly took her little hand and asked softly, "Why are you sad, Yi'er?"

Xiao Yier sniffed, looked up at him, and asked, "Brother, don't you like Yier? Why are you angry with Yier?"

Baili Moqing's face was stunned, and a feeling of grievance and helplessness surged in his heart.

When did he get angry?

"Is it because Yier is not well behaved that brother doesn't like Yier?" As little Yier spoke, her voice became more choked.

Baili Moqing wanted to explain, but he heard her crying loudly, looking very aggrieved and pitiful.

"But, but Yi'er really likes me! Brother, please don't dislike Yi'er, okay?"

Looking at the little body that was sobbing, Baili Moqing was afraid that she would faint in the next second!

He quickly and gently picked up Xiao Yier, but he didn't expect that although she looked like a big ball, she was surprisingly light in his hands!

"Don't cry, Yi'er. Come on, don't be sad. I don't dislike little Yi'er!"

Yi'er nestled in his arms, her sadness fading a little, but she still felt a little bit unconvinced, "Brother, do you really not dislike Yi'er?"

"Of course it's true! On the contrary, I like Xiao Yi'er very much, especially when I see her smile!"

Baili Moqing patiently comforted her and wiped away the tears as big as beans from her cheeks.

After not seeing her for a few days, the dry, red and cracked skin on her face had disappeared, and her little face had gained some flesh.

It seems that the woman has taken good care of her these days.

"But, Yi'er, you can't call me brother anymore!" Baili Moqing still remembered yesterday when the woman said that he was "old" but still "a generation lower than her".

Indeed, calling him brother is a bit inappropriate.

"What do you want to call Yi'er?"

Baili Moqing thought of Shu He's "Uncle" yesterday, and his face was full of disgust. After thinking for a while, he said, "Call me Uncle Mo."

"Ok."

Yi'er felt a little lost. Why did he have to call her uncle? She still preferred calling him brother. Immortal brother!

However, since her mother and brother, oh no, uncle all said so, she would just listen.

"Uncle Mo, since you don't dislike Yi'er, why doesn't mother let Yi'er come to see you?"

Xiao Yi'er was puzzled. When she woke up in the morning, she found her sleeping place had changed. She went out and saw that it was Fairy Brother's house. Before she could even put on her clothes, she wanted to run to him, but her mother stopped her. She said she couldn't just go to Fairy Brother casually, saying he would be angry...

"Did your mother say that?" Baili Moqing frowned. How could this woman be so divisive?

Yier nodded. Maybe her mother didn't know that the immortal brother liked Yier?

"Let's not listen to her. She doesn't know anything and is just talking nonsense..."

Baili Moqing wanted to scold Shu He, but before he could finish his words, he saw Xiao Yier sitting up from his lap and looking at him seriously, "No! You have to listen to your mother!"

"It's just that this time, mother must have misunderstood that uncle doesn't like Yi'er."

Baili Moqing's smile froze, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

Then she climbed down from her legs and ran, shouting happily, "I'll go tell mother that Uncle Mo likes Yi'er!"

Baili Moqing looked at his empty hands, feeling a little melancholy.

How come Xiao Yier runs so fast?

"Be careful, run slowly!" Don't fall with those short legs!

Nanqi and Zhang Bo stood behind, looking at each other, as if they were communicating through their eyes.

Nanqi: "Hey, is this your son?"

Uncle Zhang: “Yes, isn’t it?”

Nan Qi: "Why do I feel like this isn't my master?"

Uncle Zhang: "Well, I have my doubts too!"

……

Looking back at the breakfast table, Baili Moqing lost his appetite, mainly because he was full.

Just as he was about to say let's leave, he saw Nanqi and Zhang Bo flirting with each other. A hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and he pointed at the leftovers on the table, "Nanqi, eat everything on this table!"

"Ah?!" Nanqi's face turned pale. "There's so much! I, I can't finish it..."

Seeing that Nanqi still wanted to resist, he gave him a warning look.

Nanqi looked at Zhang Bo for help, but Zhang Bo seemed not to see him and quietly left the front hall.

……

In the early morning, the sun came out and shone on the crystal white snow, bright and dazzling.

The Ming River behind the house was covered with thick ice, its surface as clear and flawless as emerald green jade. From time to time, a few birds flew across the river, trying to catch food, but they found nothing.

In the distance, across the snowy plain east of the Ming River, a carriage and several figures appeared. They shoveled snow and advanced bit by bit.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. We will treat you all to a drink later!"

Shen San walked outside the carriage and shouted to the people in front who were shoveling snow and clearing the way.

"You're welcome, Constable Shen. This is what we should do!"

Several people responded with a smile, and when they heard that there was wine to drink, they quickened their movements.

"Boss, we have found so many witnesses, this time, it will be foolproof!" Shen San's face was full of excitement, his nose was red from the wind, but he didn't feel it at all.

Qin Yian nodded, but his expression was not very good.

He had a feeling that things wouldn't go smoothly today, especially since the Chief Clerk had suddenly approached him last night to ask about Lady He. He felt something was amiss.

And that big beard, he doesn't look like an official at all.

Why on earth did that person appear in the Changshi Mansion?

"Boss, what are you thinking about?" Shen San asked when he saw that he was worried.

There was no snow in the yard of Anheju, as it had all been cleared away by Nanqi. Xiaoyier ran around happily, and for the first time, her smile was so pure and happy.

She was like a tireless spinning top, sometimes visiting the two ladies, sometimes going to Baili Moqing's study to hug the newly recognized "Uncle Mo", and sometimes running to Shu He to watch her pick up herbs.

She was so "busy" that she even ate half a bowl of porridge in the morning.

Shu He looked at the cheerful figure and sighed. She didn't expect that just by moving to a more crowded place, she could be so happy!

Lady Wang looked at the child, who was barely walking steadily, running so fast that she couldn't help but shout worriedly, "Xiao Yi'er, run slower! Be careful not to fall!"

"Yier, be careful, don't fall!"

Xiao Yier responded loudly.

Shu He shook his head and continued to sort the herbs. At this time, Uncle Zhang walked over from the front with a serious and worried look on his face.

"Madam He, someone is coming outside!"
