"Mother…"
Qin Mu couldn't help but be intoxicated by Mistress Zhao's gentle words. In his previous life, he was an orphan and had never felt the love of his parents since he was young, so he didn't know what kinship was.
At this moment, Qin Mu felt a special feeling from her.
This feeling made him extremely dependent.
It was like maternal love, but it was still a little lacking, but it was enough for him to be satisfied.
"Mother!"
Qin Mu threw himself into Lady Zhao's embrace and started to cry loudly. Tears flowed down his face.
He thought about his experiences in the past three days. He walked alone in Handan City, hungry and cold, fighting with wild dogs for food, and begging for charity from passers-by.
However, what he got in return was indifference and ruthlessness. No one was willing to give him charity, and even wild dogs bullied him.
There were too many beggars like him in Handan City.
He had thought that all of this was a dream and that he would wake up after a nap. However, when he woke up, it was still this dark world.
Her tears drenched her clothes, but she didn't blame him. Instead, she caressed Qin Mu's head with heartache.
After crying for quite a while, Qin Mu seemed to be tired from crying, and his crying gradually stopped.
"Child, what is your name? Where are you from?”
At some point, Ying Yiren walked into the room, along with Shen Yue and Little Ying Zheng.
Qin Mu raised his head and swept his gaze across the few people present. He knelt down on the couch towards Lady Zhao and Ying Yiren.
"My name is Qin Mu. I don't know where I'm from, I only know that I've been wandering around Handan City ever since I could remember.”Qin Mu replied.
Ying Yiren and Lady Zhao looked at each other and weren't too surprised. After all, there were too many orphans like Qin Mu in Handan City, and they could see a few of them everywhere they went.
In the chaotic times where the people were living in poverty, this was the norm, and people were used to it.
There was a saying that went,'It's better to be a dog in peace than a man in troubled times.'
This sentence explained the sorrow of people in troubled times.
It was a blessing to be able to survive in a chaotic world. As for how to live, there was no need to think too much about it.
" Qin Mu..." Ying Yiren muttered to himself, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes."Perhaps this is fate."
"Qin Mu, we are fated. Are you willing to acknowledge me as your father?”Ying Yiren looked at Qin Mu hopefully.
Qin Mu looked at Ying Yiren in shock. Actually, when he heard the name 'Zhao Ji' earlier, he had vaguely guessed that she was Zhao Ji, but he wasn't sure yet.
When he saw Ying Yiren with an extraordinary bearing, Qin Mu was basically certain of their identities.
"Brother Yi, you've frightened Mu 'er so suddenly.”Zhao Ji rolled her eyes at Ying Yiren, her tone carrying a hint of blame.
"I'm willing!" Qin Mu didn't think too much about it. He walked down from the bed with difficulty and poured a cup of water in front of the table.
Then, he knelt down in front of Ying Yiren and Zhao Ji, kowtowed three times, and handed the water to Ying Yiren.
"Greetings, father and mother."
"Good, good, good!" Ying Yiren called out three times in a row, took the water, and raised his head to drink.
Lady Zhao hurriedly helped Qin Mu up and said gently,""Your body is still weak, so there's no need for you to do this now.”
Qin Mu shook his head. If it wasn't for you, I would have died in Handan City. I can't repay you for saving my life.”
Ying Yiren nodded when he heard that, and there was a hint of satisfaction in his gaze when he looked at Qin Mu.
"Come, let me introduce you, Mu 'er. This is Master Shen Yue. You can call him Mister.”Lady Zhao pointed at Shen Yue and introduced him to Qin Mu.
Qin Mu walked in front of Shen Yue and bowed respectfully." Qin Mu greets Mister."
Shen Yue hurriedly helped Qin Mu up and squeezed out a smile on his slightly aged face.""You are the son of the young master, so this old man will call you Mu 'er.”
Qin Mu nodded and looked at Little Ying Zheng who was standing beside Ying Yiren. A ray of light flashed in his eyes.
"Zheng 'er, come here." Lady Zhao pulled Little Ying Zheng's hand and said to Qin Mu,""Mu 'er, you are slightly older. Zheng' er will be your younger brother in the future, so you must support each other.”
Qin Mu's expression turned cold, and he looked at Little Ying Zheng who was full of cuteness. He said firmly,""Mother, don't worry. Mu 'er will always protect his little brother and won't let him suffer any harm!”
As he said that, Qin Mu added," Whoever dares to harm your brother, you can step over Mu 'er's corpse!”
The moment he said that, Ying Yiren, Zhao Ji, and Shen Yue's expressions couldn't help but change slightly. They looked at Qin Mu in shock, and when they saw his firm gaze, they were stunned.
The three of them knew that Qin Mu wasn't lying and was sincere.
"Young Master has taken in a good child." Shen Yue couldn't help but praise.
" Hahaha-" Ying Yiren laughed heartily, and the gaze he looked at Qin Mu with became more and more satisfied.
In the beginning, Ying Yiren had taken Qin Mu as his son mainly because Qin Mu's name had the word 'Qin' in it, which made him think of his own country, the State of Qin. He couldn't help but have a good impression of Qin Mu.
The other reason was that Little Ying Zheng had no playmates since he was young, and his personality was a little eccentric. As a father, he naturally hoped that his child could grow up happily, so he took Qin Mu in as a playmate for Little Ying Zheng.
After hearing Qin Mu's words, Ying Yiren suddenly felt that this son of his seemed to have been accepted quite well.
Concubine Zhao was also moved by Qin Mu's words. She stretched out her hands and pulled Qin Mu and Little Ying Zheng into her embrace.""You're all my sons. If anyone dares to hurt you, I won't let you lose a single hair!”
"I will also protect my mother and father!”Qin Mu hurriedly said.
"Hahaha, how old are you and you want to protect us? Wait until you grow up.”Ying Yiren rubbed Qin Mu's head and smiled.
Then, Ying Yiren turned to Shen Yue and said,"Today is a good day. Order the servants to buy some good wine and meat.”
"Young Master, are you going to invite Mister Buwei over?”Shen Yue asked.
"It's such a good day," Ying Yiren nodded and said,"Of course, I have to invite Mister Buwei to drink with me."”
"Yes!"
Qin Mu leaned into Mistress Zhao's embrace and blinked his eyes as he looked at Little Ying Zheng.
Little Ying Zheng blinked his eyes as well.
