Shu Han glanced at the change in her expression and hurriedly explained, “Eldest Young Miss Liu, the child is still young and doesn’t understand things well. After her parents passed away, she was raised by her uncle and aunt. They were afraid that the child, being inexperienced, might offend the noble people on her first visit to the palace. So they instilled this concept in her – if she sees something wrong, she should kneel down and kowtow. I’ve been trying to correct her all along and she promised to behave, but she couldn’t handle the situation when she got nervous.”
“It’s alright,” Liu Shimei sighed and said, “Ask the child to get up quickly.”
She didn’t blame the child; she just felt sorry for her.
The Shu family had good values, but being fostered by her uncle and aunt, no matter how good they were, they couldn’t compare to her own parents.
The feeling of being dependent on others made the child’s heart sensitive. Whatever her foster parents said, she treated as imperial decree, fearing that if they were unhappy, they might abandon her.
She understood this orphan’s mentality.
That’s why she thought, if this child stayed in the Shu family for too long, her talents might go to waste!
Shu Han lowered her head and said, “Tong’er, Eldest Miss is calling you to get up.”
Although she called her, Shu Yutong dared not move. She just timidly glanced at Liu Shimei and then lowered her head again.
Liu Shimei sighed helplessly, stood up, and walked towards her.
Shu Yutong knelt on the ground and suddenly saw a pair of embroidered shoes stopping in front of her. Instinctively, she raised her head. She then saw the incredibly beautiful young lady squatting in front of her, extending a hand toward her.
Her eyes were so gentle, as if they were filled with a pool of autumn water!
She stared in surprise, noticing a candy resting in Liu Shimei’s palm!
“Can I call you Tongtong?” Liu Shimei offered the candy she had prepared and said, “If you agree, take the candy, stand up. How about that?”
Shu Yutong stared at her gentle smile, and foolishly said, “I think I’ve seen a fairy!”
She turned to Shu Han and asked, “Uncle, why didn’t you tell me that Eldest Young Miss is a fairy?”
“A fairy?” Liu Shimei almost couldn’t contain her gentle smile and burst into laughter!
She remembered the first time her silly puppy at home spoke to her, calling her ‘Sister Fairy’.
It seemed like fate, after all!
Liu Shimei reached out to touch Shu Yutong’s head, pulling the child up and hugged her, saying, “I’m not a fairy. You can call me Master.”
Hearing this, Shu Han knew it was settled!
Liu Shimei sat Shu Yutong on a chair by the table and gestured for Mo’er to bring a piece of cloth. She first wiped the corners of the little girl’s mouth and then cleaned her hands that had been kneeling on the ground earlier, saying, “Tongtong, from now on, when Master says to kneel, you can kneel. The ways of your uncle and aunt don’t apply here. Will you listen to Master?”
“Yes!” Shu Yutong had never encountered someone so gentle to her, not even when her own mother was around!
She instantly liked Liu Shimei, so whatever Liu Shimei said, she would obey.
But she didn’t forget what Shu Han had told her and asked, “So, if the fairy is willing to accept me as a disciple, does that mean I’ll be Young Master’s younger martial sister?”
“Yes!” Liu Shimei smiled gently at her.
Shu Yutong was clearly delighted, but after a moment, she furrowed her brow and asked, “Young Master said there’s also a pretty big brother. Where is he?”
Liu Shimei looked at Shu Han in surprise..
