Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 401: There Should Be No Memory

Gu Qingyuan put her on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and coaxed her, "Go to sleep, mother is here."

Xiao Nian quickly got up again and looked at Gu Qingyuan without blinking.

"Aren't you sleepy yet?" Gu Qingyuan asked her patiently again.

But Xiao Nian just shook her head, grabbed her clothes, and continued to repeat in a somewhat distressed tone: "I dreamed of a lot of blood."

This time she managed to speak a complete sentence, and Gu Qingyuan couldn't help but ask seriously, "Are you afraid?"

Xiao Nian thought about it and shook her head.

She closed her eyes, but she could still hear waves of crying in her ears.

Gu Qingyuan lay down on the bed with her, held her in his arms, and patted her back gently.

"It's okay, it's okay. No one can hurt our Xiao Nian. Just get some sleep and you'll be fine."

Perhaps it was Gu Qingyuan's breath that made her feel at ease, and Xiao Nian closed her eyes and fell asleep in a short while.

After she fell asleep, Gu Qingyuan, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

She glanced sideways at the sleeping Xiao Nian in the cold moonlight, then pulled the quilt up to cover her body.

Before Xiaonian fell asleep, she kept repeating that she dreamed of a lot of blood. She was so young, and even when we were cooking or killing chickens and fish at home, we would not let the child see it.

And the "lot of blood" she mentioned, could it be referring to the day when Lin Xinghe died?

Gu Qingyuan felt her fingertips trembling slightly, because Lin Xinghe's health was not good to begin with, and she naturally suffered a lot when giving birth to Xiaonian.

She originally thought that Xiao Nian had just been born at that time and should have no memory.

But if this was really the scene she dreamed of, how would they tell Xiao Nian that her father had passed away after giving birth to her?

Gu Qingyuan felt that she seemed to understand her mother's feelings at the time. Her father was not originally a man in a country where women were superior. He had her because he used drugs to forcibly transform his body.

But later, like Lin Xinghe, he died on the day of childbirth.

Gu Qingyuan sighed and sat silently in front of the bed.

Xiao Nian did not have a nightmare this time, but slept soundly instead.

Two days passed quickly.

The day has come to send Xixi to the academy.

Wen Shubai stood at the door with his arms folded across his chest, watching her rummaging through boxes and drawers looking for something.

"That's strange. It was clearly here, how come it disappeared?"

She muttered as she started to mess up her room again.

Wen Shubai said quietly at this time: "Even if the sky falls today, you have to go to the academy for me."

Xixi ran over, tugged at Wen Shubai's sleeve, and asked him distressedly, "Dad, have you seen my Lili, Lili, Lili, and Lili?"

The vein on Wen Shubai's forehead jumped, and he asked her, "What are you talking about?"

Xixi squatted down again and lifted one of Wen Shubai's feet, trying to check whether her "baby" was hidden under her father's feet.

Seeing that she didn't find it, she suddenly felt discouraged.

Wen Shubai pulled her up from the ground and said, "You should go to the academy. Don't make the people outside wait anxiously."

Xixi complained, "I wanted to take my good friends to the academy, but they were there before I left. How come they disappeared when I came back?"

She had forgotten about them during the few days she was at home, and only remembered to take them with her when she was about to return to the academy.

Wen Shubai asked her again: "Then what exactly are your good friends?"

"They are just a few small stones. I picked them up on purpose."

Wen Shubai finally remembered that the day after Xixi went to the academy, he wanted to help her clean up the room, but he saw those pebbles under her pillow.

I wanted to throw it away, but then I remembered that she kept it under her pillow and she must treasure it very much, so I put it in her drawer.

He walked inside and took out a few stones from the drawer.

"Are these the stones?"

When Xixi saw it, her eyes lit up. She grabbed the stones from Wen Shubai's hand and said with admiration, "Yes, that's it. Dad, you're so amazing. You found it so quickly."

Xixi was like a smaller version of Gu Qingyuan. When Wen Shubai heard her praising him, he would say unnaturally, "What's the big deal?"

After all, he was the one who put the things away.

Xixi picked up the similar-looking stones one by one and said, "The pointy one is called Lili, the bigger one is called Lili..."

Wen Shubai didn't have time to listen to her introduce these stones, so he carried her out the door.

Yushui picked up the things Xixi was going to take to the academy and trotted to catch up with them.

After Xixi got on the carriage, she waved to Wen Shubai and said, "Dad, I'm going to the academy!"

"Go quickly, and listen to the teacher in the academy."

Xixi retracted her head into the carriage and hugged tightly the things Wen Shubai had prepared for her.

It was Chunfen who accompanied her to the academy again. When the carriage gradually disappeared from sight, Wen Shubai still stood at the door and looked in the direction the carriage left.

Yu Shui reminded from the side: "Master, the second lady has left."

Then he walked towards inside.

Although I knew she would be back in a month, I still felt a little uncomfortable seeing the empty house when I got back.

......

Gu Qingyuan issued another order, that is, all members of the Gu family were not allowed to mention Lin Xinghe at home, especially in front of Xiao Nian.

Although she had given the order before, she was still afraid that someone would gossip in front of Xiao Nian and say that she was not Wen Shubai's biological daughter and that her father had actually died a long time ago.

In the past few years, she was busy dealing with the affairs of Tianji Pavilion, and the Empress had just appointed the Sixth Princess as the Crown Princess, so she still needed to go to the Sixth Princess to help.

This meant she had little time to take care of her three children at home.

Especially Xiao Nian, Gu Qingyuan felt that her symptoms were somewhat similar to autism.

She was unwilling to communicate with others and seemed to have no interest in anything. Gu Qingyuan was worried that if this continued, she would get sick sooner or later.

Gu Qingyuan decided to take her out personally.

Fortunately, Xiao Nian is still very dependent on her. She was very happy when she heard that Gu Qingyuan was going to take her out to play.

She even ran to her closet and picked out a new outfit.

Gu Qingyuan felt a little sad. She missed Xiao Nian's growth. She would make it up to her in the future, and also consider it as compensation to Lin Xinghe.

Gu Qingyuan took out a light pink silk dress for her, with a white brocade cape on the outside, and soft white fluff on the collar and cuffs.

Afterwards, Gu Qingyuan personally combed her hair into a bun with pink pearl flowers inserted in it.

"Shall we go fly a kite today?"

Gu Qingyuan asked her with a smile.

"Okay!"

As long as she is with her mother, she is happy to do anything!

Gu Qingyuan took out the kite he bought and freed his hands to pick her up.
