At this time, Yu Yan calmed down a little. There would be no next time.
He pulled his hand back and tried to scold this bold girl harshly, but unfortunately, he loved her too much and couldn’t say anything more serious.
“Could it be that the nanny invited by the Marquis of Changping’s mansion taught Seventh Young Lady Ling to have private contact with men? Ha, maybe I’m not a man.”
Yu Yan thought that this girl was so bold, so he still had to say something harsh to alert her, but as he spoke, he felt something was wrong.
This time, Xiao Wu came to give him a gift because he picked up her lost things. Just because of this, she was so intimate with him, a eunuch.
If it were those elegant and talented noble sons from aristocratic families, would she have to marry him?
If she was unlucky and met someone who only knew the appearance but not the heart, her life would probably be ruined.
Just like now, if he was not Yu Yan, but a member of Yan Zhongying’s faction, he was afraid that tonight, there would be a lot of conspiracies about Ling Wu and the Marquis of Changping Mansion.
By then, not only would Xiao Wu be unable to protect herself, but the Marquis of Changping Mansion might also be implicated, making it difficult for the forces behind her to protect her.
The more he thought about it, the angrier and more anxious he became.
Yu Yan couldn’t help but raise his voice. He wanted to grab her ears and scold her.
“I’m sorry.”
Ah Wu was not stupid. If it were someone else, she would not knit gloves for him and put them on for him personally.
“Yeah.”
Seeing that his sister admitted her mistakes with a good attitude, Yu Yan’s anger subsided a little. When he looked at his sister’s fair and tender face, he began to reflect on whether he was too harsh.
Over the years, he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a brother, and the couple in the Marquis of Changping Mansion were unaware of Xiao Wu’s existence.
Uncle Li and Aunt Li were good people, but there was a layer of distance between them after all, and since they were from the countryside, they might not be diligent and responsible enough to educate a girl.
Xiao Wu was still a child, so it seemed too much for him to blame her with such words.
“If it were someone else, I would not do that, but it is different for Deputy Eunuch Yan. You look very much like an old friend of mine. From the first time I saw you, I felt close to you.”
Yu Yan’s thoughts were interrupted by Ah Wu’s words. He looked into Ah Wu’s eyes, and his heart tightened.
“You look like my brother. I haven’t seen him for eight years. This pair of gloves was originally made by me for my brother, but I don’t know when I can give it away. This time, I am just offering flowers to Buddha. I really miss him. I want to see him and call him brother again.”
Yu Yan’s heart trembled. His pretended indifference was about to break.
“Your brother is the child of the family where you were taken away by the criminals?”
Yu Yan’s voice was steady, and only by listening carefully could one detect the tremor in it.
“At that time, my brother and I didn’t know that I was the wrong child. He loved me very much and made great sacrifices for me. In fact, I was a little afraid that my brother would regret his sacrifice after knowing this.”
No, he won’t!
Seeing the worry and sadness in Ah Wu’s eyes, Yu Yan wanted to tell her directly.
So what if she was not his biological sister? Yu Fucai and Mrs. Yu were his biological parents, but what feelings did he have for those two people?
From the beginning to the end, he has determined that the sister he likes is Xiao Wu.
Although it was a mistake, the mistake was doomed. The experience over the years made Ling Zhuo, the biological sister who suddenly appeared, could no longer enter his heart.
But Yu Yan did not feel that he owed that sister anything. For more than ten years, she had enjoyed the glory and wealth of the Marquis’ Mansion instead of Xiao Wu. Perhaps his love was compensation.
“Since you said that he loves you very much, I think he won’t mind.”
Yu Yan looked at the sky, deliberately avoiding Ah Wu’s gaze.
“You and your brother have been separated for so many years. How have you lived in the countryside these years? Has anyone bullied you?”
He didn’t dare to alert the enemy. The people he sent back to investigate brought back limited information. Yu Yan only knew that after he left, Aunt Li lived up to his trust and took Xiao Wu to her side to take care of her, and the villagers also took good care of her.
How could a few words of news summarize Xiao Wu’s life in the past eight years?
No matter how much the villagers loved her, they all had their own children and couldn’t do it wholeheartedly. When Xiao Wu was alone, she must have been lonely.
Unconsciously, the two of them were sitting in the pavilion, and the topic turned to Ah Wu’s childhood life.
