211 This Uncle Wants to be Their Father
Gu Lin sincerely felt that his mother was the best mother in the world. Since Uncle Nine said that he did not want to be their father, then there was no need for him to tell so much about Uncle Fairy.
Anyway, he was just curious and did not really care about his mother.
However, his teacher said that nothing could be forced. Even if he was unhappy, he would not hate Uncle Nine because of this matter.
Nine was choked by Gu Lin’s words and could not find any words to refute.
Yes, he was the one who denied it. He did not have such thoughts toward Miss Gu. It was no wonder that Lil’ Lin was unwilling to say it.
As he told himself this in his heart, Ah Nine’s heart felt empty as if it had been hollowed out.
“Dumby, Lingbao, I will take you to study and learn calligraphy,” Gu Lin said to his brother and sister.
Dumby and Lingbao nodded obediently and left hand in hand with their big brother.
Watching the three children leave, Ah Nine fell into deep thought. In the end, he reached out to touch his injured knee and fell into silence.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingxue also told Nanny Sheng about the effects of the Longevity Fruit.
Nanny Sheng had never expected Gu Qingxue to go up the mountain every day and work so hard just to treat Madam Qi.
Seeing Nanny Sheng’s eyes turn red after hearing what she said, Gu Qingxue quickly advised her, “Nanny, it’s a good thing that you found the fruit. Why aren’t you happy? Instead, you’re crying.”
Nanny Sheng quickly wiped her red eyes, “I feel sorry for you, Eldest Miss. It’s such a tough winter.”
“As long as grandmother recovers as soon as possible, I’m willing to do anything,” Gu Qingxue said and held Madam Qi’s hand.
Madam Qi smiled when they saw Gu Qingxue. She held Gu Qingxue’s hand and pointed at Nanny Sheng. “Help her. She’s crying.”
“Old Madam, I’m fine. I’m so happy. Eldest Miss, you have to go to town for work tomorrow. Let me do the housework today. Please accompany the Old Madam,” Nanny Sheng said, without giving Gu Qingxue any chance to refuse, she turned around and left to do the housework.
Gu Qingxue did not stay idle either. She took out some medicinal herbs and ground them into powder, waiting to give Madam Qi another treatment tonight.
At this moment, a bird’s cry was heard, causing Big Black to keep barking in the courtyard.
“Big Black, stop barking. Lil’ Feifei, come in.” Gu Qingxue whistled and beckoned the swift bird to come in.
Nine was attracted by Big Black’s voice. He opened the window and looked out. He happened to see Lil’ Feifei flapping its wings and flying to the hall’s entrance, landing steadily on Gu Qingxue’s shoulder.
After letting Lil’ Feifei rub her face, Gu Qingxue quickly took off the bamboo tube on its feet and poured out a piece of paper from it.
It was too far away for Nine to see what was written on the paper.
However, he could see Gu Qingxue’s expression.
Not knowing what was written on the note, Gu Qingxue curled the corners of her lips into a joyful smile, her eyes filled with gentleness.
Nine could not help but recall what Lingbao had said just now.
The three children had Uncle Fairy, and this uncle wanted to be their father.
Unable to describe the complicated feelings that rose up in his heart, Nine eventually pretended not to see anything and closed the window silently.
Gu Qingxue heard the sound of the window closing. She raised her eyes to look at Nine’s room but did not find any clues.
Not caring about such a small matter, Gu Qingxue smiled and put away the letter.
Rong Zhan’s letter said that Rong Han’s health had improved greatly.
