Mu Aotian had experienced the battlefield of blood and iron, but he was not a boorish man. Instead, he was extremely intelligent. In addition, he was a slave to his daughter. After four years of separation, his every move was related to his heart.
From the moment she saw Mu Aotian, although she was shocked by him and decided to be the eldest daughter of the Mu family in Mu Haitang's place, she did not act as intimate as her biological daughter.
In addition, her attitude towards the second branch was slightly cold, so her appearance made Mu Aotian feel even more uncomfortable and blamed himself.
However, that was not the case. In her entire life, other than Yuan Bao, the person closest to her, Mu Aotian was the only person who made her feel close to him from the beginning. His unconditional care and indulgence were what she yearned for.
Lu Tang raised her eyebrows, thinking about how to answer this question.
She knew that before Haitang of the Mu family died, she had no resentment towards the Mu family or her father. She only felt guilty.
Seeing that Lu Tang was silent, Mu Aotian sighed deeply. He then said," Girl, you used to call me father…" But this time, you didn't call me father at all. You only called me father.
"Girl, it's right for you to blame me. I owe you, and the Mu family owes you.”
Mu Aotian turned around after saying this. The tough man seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
Lu Tang's heart tightened when she turned around. She subconsciously said," Daddy."”
The word 'daddy' made her heart tremble violently. An inexplicable feeling rose in her chest. It seemed that she should have called him that a long, long time ago.
Lu Tang felt her heart tremble inexplicably. She was at a loss, but then she thought that perhaps she had placed herself in Mu Haitang's shoes too much, causing her emotions to be mixed up. She knew very well how much despair and guilt the dead girl had felt before she died. She felt guilty for her parents and her child.
Therefore, she couldn't let the man in front of her misunderstand, nor could she let him continue to blame himself and feel guilty.
Then, she slowly said," Daddy, I lost my memory…"
"What?"
Mu Aotian's heart trembled and his eyes reddened when he heard Lu Tang call him 'father'. Before he could hug his little girl, he heard Lu Tang's next words. He was stunned for a moment and did not understand the meaning of these words. Then, he saw his daughter take a step forward and frown as she spoke softly.
"Father, I don't remember what happened four years ago. Four years ago, I was chased to the Snow Cliff with Yuan Bao. In order to save my life, I jumped off the cliff and was seriously injured. Fortunately, I was saved by an old man who avoided the world. I was lucky enough to survive, but I don't remember anything…"
It was only in recent months that I vaguely remembered my identity and remembered you, so I rushed back with Yuan Bao.”
Lu Tang said softly.
These words were half true and half false. It was really about Mu Haitang's experience, but it was fake because she was not the real eldest daughter of the Mu family. However, facing Yuan Bao's trusting eyes, Mu Aotian's heart was filled with pity. She could not even tell the truth about the deceased Mu Haitang's last words.
After saying this today, her identity could no longer be changed. The Mu family's Begonia was her, and she was the Mu family's Begonia.
Hearing Lu Tang's soft voice, Mu Aotian was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a long time.
He had lost his memory…
Did his daughter lose her memory? He was being chased and jumped off the cliff.
At that time, she had also given birth to a child.
Mu Aotian bent over in pain. The pain that surged into his heart made it difficult for him to speak. A thin layer of sweat surged on his forehead. He opened his mouth but could not speak for a long time.
Mu Aotian was greatly shocked by this sudden news. His eyes were red as he muttered," No wonder, no wonder…"
No wonder his daughter called him father, but it sounded a little distant.
No wonder the servant girl was cold and distant when the second branch came out to greet her.
It turned out that she had lost her memory and could not remember anything.
……
Mu Aotian was in pain and hate. He loved his daughter. She had suffered so much in the past four years. He hated the person who harmed her daughter. Not only did he let her fall into the brothel, but he also sent people to kill her.
Who was this person that was so ruthless?
"Little girl…"
Mu Aotian called out to her. He opened his mouth but did not know what to say.
After a long while, his eyes turned red. He touched the top of Lu Tang's head and said," Girl, forget about the past. But remember, everyone in the Mu family loves you very much. Your three brothers, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and Qingyun all love you very much."”
Lu Tang nodded. She also learned from Mu Aotian's words that Haitang of the Mu family had three older brothers.
"Grandpa, I've already seen second grandpa and the others. Where are my three uncles? Why didn't Yuan Bao see them?"
Yuan Bao asked.
Hearing Yuan Bao's childish voice and looking at the little guy who looked like his daughter, Mu Aotian's sadness dissipated a little. He bent down and stared at Yuan Bao." Your eldest uncle is on duty in the palace, your second uncle is at the border, and your third uncle is traveling. However, Grandpa will send a letter to them. I believe they will be back soon."”
Yuan Bao's eyes curved into crescents." Then will the uncles like Yuan Bao?”
Hearing Yuan Bao's childish question, Mu Aotian smiled." Definitely."”
"Yay!"
Yuan Bao made a hand gesture happily, his eyes sparkling.
"Little Tang, bring Yuan Bao in to rest for a while. Father will call you guys during dinner.”
Mu Aotian said to Lu Tang with a doting expression.
Lu Tang nodded and said yes before bringing Yuan Bao into the house.
As soon as he turned around, Yuan Bao's fake innocence disappeared and he returned to his calm appearance. He was a sensible child. When he saw how sad his grandfather was because of his mother's encounter, he pretended to be innocent to divert Mu Aotian's attention.
" Mother, Grandpa didn't mention Grandma just now…"
Lu Tang held Yuan Bao's hand as they walked into the house. However, she heard the little fellow suddenly say,"
Lu Tang pursed her lips and did not speak. She had also noticed that Mu Aotian had never mentioned his wife.
Lu Tang didn't say anything, and Yuan Bao didn't ask any more questions. The two of them entered the house.
The courtyard of the Breeze House was neat and tidy. There were fresh flowers, green lawns, rockery, and flowing water. The scenery was beautiful. After entering the house, the first thing that came to mind was that it was clean and elegant. The entire room was filled with a faint sandalwood fragrance. The hollowed-out carved windows were sunny and pleasant. The soft bed in the room was covered with a purple brocade quilt and decorated with light purple tassels. Through the light-colored curtains, one could see that diagonally opposite the bed was a dressing table inlaid with pearls and seashells. It was gorgeous and eye-catching.
There were a few landscape paintings hanging on the wall, and a few exquisite vases were placed on a shelf against the wall. A zither stood in the corner, exuding elegance everywhere.
This was the place where Mu Haitang had once lived. From the elegance of the room, one could tell that the girl was an elegant and graceful girl.
Lu Tang couldn't tell what she was feeling. She sighed and lay down on the big bed. She stared at the window curtain above, her mind blank.
At this moment, she couldn't say how she felt. She had agreed to Haitang's dying wish and raised Yuan Bao. This also meant that she had returned to the Mu family, met her father, and lived in the room she used to live in. Everything was going in the direction she had planned, but her heart was heavy and she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Mother, drink some water."
