The Mid-Autumn Festival has finally arrived. Xiao Lan always feels that this Mid-Autumn Festival is like that mountain. Once you climb over it, you will find a new world.

She had originally planned that if her parents came, she would tear off the hypocritical mask of the Sun family during the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, produce witnesses and evidence, and tearfully accuse her parents of the tragic experiences she had endured over the years.

It can only be said that man proposes, God disposes, and plans cannot keep up with changes. If she had really done that, she would probably have lived a more miserable life. She seemed to be able to imagine how the original owner's inexplicable parents would behave at the family dinner.

Overall, Xiao Lan felt she was very lucky. In every way, she supposed it was the protagonist's halo, the plot assigned to her by this world. She had no choice but to leave, and someone appeared in time to save her from danger.

Xin'er wore new clothes today. Xiao Lan spent a lot of money to have several tailors work together to make them overnight. The gold locket hanging around her neck sparkled in the sun and looked very beautiful, making her little face look even more rosy.

"Mom, where's Dad?" Xin'er stood by the dressing table, watching Mother Xu put makeup on Xiao Lan. Despite her age, Mother Xu's makeup skills were truly remarkable. Not old-fashioned or vulgar, she always managed to magnify Xiao Lan's beauty.

"Father was seriously injured by the robbers. I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed for a while." Xiao Lan said, observing Xin'er's expression in the bronze mirror.

People always say that parents' love for their children is selfless and devoted. In fact, children's love for their parents is even more so. Even though Xin'er has never been truly loved by her father since she was a child, she still wants to be close to him.

"I want to go and see." Xin'er lowered her head and fiddled with the gold bracelet on her wrist, secretly glancing at Xiao Lan with a hint of observation in her eyes.

Xiao Lan didn't like the fact that she always tried to please others. Now that she was spoiled by everyone, she finally showed the innocence and willfulness that a three-year-old child should have. But sometimes, she would unconsciously observe other people's reactions and give appropriate answers.

"Okay. If you want to go, go ahead. Mother will go with you."

Chi Yu sent a message last night saying that Sun Shaohua's condition has stabilized. Doctor Li came and prescribed some more medicine, and Xiao Lan did not stop him.

Xiao Lan felt that she was still too kind, but some things were too cold-blooded to be decided lightly.

Sun Shaohua's yard remained unkempt, with leaves strewn across the ground, looking desolate. Chi Yu squatted at the door, lost in thought, and the servant had disappeared without a trace.

Chi Yu saw Xiao Lan and stood up to greet her, "Madam... Miss Xin'er... Madam Xu..."

He looked a little haggard, probably having served all night. "I went to call the doctor yesterday." Chi Yu lowered his head, thinking about what Xiao Lan would say.

When Xiao Lan left yesterday, Chi Yu had a plan. He would just watch his master lying on the bed coughing up blood and dying. Then he could escape from the study and ask Xiao Lan for credit. Then he would be able to see Haitang every day.

But in the end, he still ran out to call the doctor. He thought someone would stop him, but no one cared about where he was going. Doctor Li from the Xiao family did not refuse. He carefully felt his pulse and prescribed medicine.

Something inexplicable spread through his heart. He was the master's personal attendant, and he knew that the master often tolerated those who bullied the mistress and turned a blind eye to his mistress's mistreatment. When the mistress was ill, Madam Xu came to the master's house several times to cry, but failed to summon a doctor. Now, although the mistress was indifferent to the master's condition, she would not stop him from calling a doctor for the master.

"Well, I know. It's right to ask the doctor. After all, he treats you well." Xiao Lan couldn't say whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied with Chi Yu's handling of the matter. Yesterday, she really hoped that Chi Yu could be more cold-blooded and help her to kill Sun Shaohua.

"Xin'er wants to go see the master. Does the house need some cleaning?"

"No need. I just swept it this morning. I just don't know if the master is awake now." Chi Yu paused and continued.

"Okay, then you wait at the door."

Xiao Lan pulled Xin'er into the house. Mother Xu was waiting outside. Seeing the desolate courtyard, she couldn't help but say, "It's Mid-Autumn Festival today. You've been busy serving the master. I'll call two maids to sweep the yard later."

Chi Yu nodded and said, "Thank you, Mother Xu."

Xiao Lan said that Chi Yu was the master's personal servant, and it was considered good that he had not "kicked him when he was down" before.

Xin'er entered the house and couldn't help sneezing. The smell of medicine in the room was a bit strong, which was a bit similar to the smell in her mother's room before.

She clenched the mooncake in her hand and went to the bed.

Sun Shaohua was lying on the bed, his face yellow and his lips bloodless, no longer showing his former charm.

"Father." Xin'er was small in stature. She stood beside the bed and touched Sun Shaohua's cheek with her little hand. Her voice was full of concern.

"Xin'er?" Sun Shaohua was not feeling well and had not slept well. When someone came in, he was too lazy to move until he felt the warm touch on his face.

"Does it hurt?" Xin'er was looking forward to her father's help. Sun Shaohua rarely came to see her, but when he did, he would praise her and hug her. So Xin'er liked her father from the bottom of her heart and always wanted to show her well-behaved side to get Sun Shaohua's praise.

"It doesn't hurt..." Sun Shaohua held Xin'er's hand. His daughter was very well-behaved. They didn't see each other often before, but every time they saw each other, she would bow properly and greet him politely.

"Dad, there are little rabbits!" Xiner handed over a piece of mooncake.

Xiao Lan bought that mooncake especially for Xin'er. It was small and delicious, with beautiful patterns on it. Xin'er loved it. In the morning, she was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable if she ate too much sweet food, so she gave her a piece. Unexpectedly, Xin'er took it secretly, and Xiao Lan didn't notice it all the way.

The mooncake was a little deformed by Xin'er's fist, and the filling was almost leaking out, showing a little black, and it didn't look delicious.

Sun Shaohua's eyes turned red as he looked at the mooncake. He reached out to take it but didn't eat it. He looked through Xin'er's small shoulder and looked at Xiao Lan behind him.

"If you can really take good care of Jiye and Xin'er, I'd be willing to die in front of you now!"

Xiao Lan knew that Sun Shaohua was only moved by the cute and well-behaved Xin'er. Some people say that irresponsible people have no feelings, but that's not entirely true.

But their feelings are fleeting. They come with sincerity and leave with a decisiveness.

"There's no need to say such things. Jiye is Fang Xiaoniang's son. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll find an auspicious day to register him under my name so that he won't be treated as inferior by the so-called legitimate and illegitimate sons in the future! And Xin'er, needless to say, she's my biological daughter."

Sun Shaohua didn't expect that Xiao Lan would really consider Sun Jiye and take care of Fang Qingqing in every way. He really couldn't understand it.

"Xin'er, father has something to say to your mother. Ask Chi Yu to take you to the fish tank to see the red fish. Father just bought a few last time. They are fat and big..."

Xin'er was delighted. She wanted to see it before, but Cuizhu was unwilling to take her. If her father sent it this time, Chi Yu should not refuse.

"Thank you, father!" Xin'er bowed, but still turned to look at Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan nodded, and she ran out.

Xin'er went out and Xiao Lan stood aside. Today, Sun Shaohua didn't look as crazy as last time.

"what you want to say?"
