After cleaning his entire body, Qin Mu climbed out of the bucket.
At this moment, the door to the room opened.
Qin Mu's body stiffened, and he looked at Lady Zhao who was looking at him with a faint smile. Then, he shrunk back into the bucket like a monkey.
" Mother... Mother, why didn't you knock before coming in..." Qin Mu's small face was flushed red. He didn't know if it was because of the heat or if his mind was messed up by the soul-stealing gaze of Mistress Zhao.
"I'm your mother. Why are there so many rules?”Zhao Ji put the clothes in her hands on the table and squatted in front of the bucket.
Seeing Qin Mu's burning red face, Lady Zhao stretched out her hand and flicked his forehead lightly. She smiled and said,""Why are you so shy, you little brat.”
"No, I'm not young!" Qin Mu retorted.
"Oh? Isn't she young?" Zhao Ji smiled.
Qin Mu's face flushed red and he didn't say anything.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. After washing up, put on your clothes. I'll bring you to meet a gentleman later.”As she spoke, she stopped teasing Qin Mu and left.
When he saw Lady Zhao's graceful figure, Qin Mu couldn't help but take a few more glances until the door closed.
Pa!
Qin Mu slapped his own face and cursed in his heart,""Qin Mu, oh Qin Mu, he's your mother. You can't have any improper thoughts.”
"Moreover…your brother is powerless!”Qin Mu lowered his head to look at his weak brother and revealed a bitter smile.
After that, Qin Mu walked out of the water bucket and picked up the clothes on the table. The corners of his mouth twitched. There was actually a dress, and the color of the clothes was a deep red that was full of joy.
"How should I wear this?" Qin Mu gestured on his body for a long time, but he still couldn't put it on. In the end, he couldn't care less and casually put on the clothes before walking out of the room.
In the living room, Ying Yiren was drinking with Lu Buwei. Lady Zhao had brought little Ying Zheng to another table, and they were sitting on their knees in front of a table, on which steaming hot dishes were placed.
During the Warring States Period, women and boys who had not yet performed the crowning ceremony were not allowed to sit, but they could sit at another table.
After three rounds of wine, Ying Yiren turned to Lady Zhao and Little Ying Zheng, frowned and asked,""Furen, why haven't you seen Mu 'er?”
"Mu 'er is still washing up, so he should be done soon. I'll go take a look.”
As she spoke, Zhao Ji prepared to stand up.
At this moment, a little boy dressed strangely walked into the living room.
Seeing the little boy, Ying Yiren, Lady Zhao, Lu Buwei, and Shen Yue were all stunned.
The person who came was Qin Mu, but Qin Mu was dressed strangely. The two sleeves of his shirt were curled up at his elbows, and the skirt that should have reached his ankles was tied around his waist with a belt.
Her long wet hair draped over her shoulders, making her look out of place.
When Lady Zhao saw Qin Mu's attire, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She pointed at Qin Mu and didn't know whether to laugh or cry."Mu 'er, why are you dressed like this?”
Ying Yiren and Lu Buwei couldn't help but laugh. Even Shen Yue, who had always kept a straight face, was twitching his mouth.
" Young Master's adopted son is really…" Lu Buwei laughed.
"Cough cough cough, Madam, you should help Mu 'er tidy up.”Ying Yiren coughed awkwardly.
Lady Zhao immediately stood up and walked in front of Qin Mu. When she saw his resentful gaze, she couldn't help but pinch his face and smile."Why are you dressed like this?"
"It's clearly Mother who took too big of a dress.”Qin Mu curled his lips.
Mistress Zhao smiled again and lightly flicked Qin Mu's head. She scolded him with a smile,""You're even lecturing Mother. The clothes aren't big. It's the way you wear them that's wrong.”
Then, she helped Qin Mu tidy up his clothes and combed his long hair.
He was dressed in a dark red robe with narrow sleeves. There were two balls tied on both sides of his head, and the rest of his hair was draped over his shoulders.
After tidying up, Lady Zhao took two steps back to size up Qin Mu. At this moment, Qin Mu had changed from being neither fish nor fish to being much neater.
Perhaps it was because he had washed up, Qin Mu's true appearance was revealed.
His facial features were exceptionally exquisite. He had bright eyes, white teeth, sword-like eyebrows, and star-like eyes. There was a hint of youthful handsomeness between his brows. Overall, he looked like a porcelain doll.
"My son is so beautiful!" When Lady Zhao saw Qin Mu's appearance, she couldn't help being stunned.
Ying Yiren looked at Qin Mu in shock. Qin Mu was only four or five years old, but he was exceptionally handsome. His clear eyes were especially filled with a spirituality that couldn't be ignored.
"Young Master is extraordinary!" Lu Buwei couldn't help but praise.
Ying Yiren smiled and waved at Qin Mu. Mu 'er, come to your father."
Qin Mu walked in front of Ying Yiren. The light in the room was a little dim, but Qin Mu's eyes were bright.
"Father." Qin Mu bowed to Ying Yiren.
"This is Lu Buwei, my best friend. You can call him Mister.”Ying Yiren pointed at Lu Buwei and introduced him.
Qin Mu turned his head to look at Lu Buwei. He was a man around twenty-five years old and was dressed in a long white robe. Other than his eyes giving off a shrewd feeling, his face and figure were ordinary. There wasn't anything special about him.
However, it was such a person who would become the second father of the powerful Qin country's prime minister and the eternal emperor in the near future.
Lu Buwei's life could not be said to not be amazing. From a lowly merchant to a powerful man, he even wrote the famous Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lü Family.
It was a pity that power was too corrosive, and in the end, he ended up committing suicide.
Later generations had different opinions about Lu Buwei. Some said that it was because of him that Qin could unify the world.
Some said that Lu Buwei had wild ambitions and had delayed the Qin Country's journey to unify the world for his own selfish desires.
Qin Mu greets Mister!" Qin Mu retracted his gaze and bowed deeply at Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei was stunned. Qin Mu's gaze when he looked at him made his heart palpitate, as if all his secrets had been seen through.
Looking at the four or five-year-old child in front of him, Lu Buwei smiled bitterly in his heart. He must have been too reckless. How could he be frightened by a four or five-year-old child?
Mu 'er, please rise." Lu Buwei helped Qin Mu up with a benevolent smile.
