My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

Chapter 38 You're Still Alive

The night was getting deeper and deeper. Fu Shiyan washed his face and returned to his room. Seeing Huaying lying on the table, he had fallen asleep. He took out a coat from the closet and put it on her.

There were some drawn drawings lying horizontally on the table. He picked them up and looked at them carefully one by one. The first floor of the store was the lobby, counter, and kitchen, the second floor was the private rooms, and the third floor was the guest rooms. The design on the drawings coincided with his own ideas, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He placed the drawings neatly on the table, and turned his deep eyes to Huaying's sleeping face, thinking that she had fallen asleep like this in the carriage on the day they first met.

Suddenly there was a noise from the window. Fu Lei came in and was startled to see Huaying sleeping on the table. He hurriedly made a silent salute to Fu Shiyan. Fu Shiyan picked up Huaying and walked out of the room. He gently put her on the bed, kissed her lips before turning and leaving.

Returning to the room again, Fu Lei bowed and said, "Master, I have two pieces of news. One is that the young lady has been found and is now with Fu Yi."

Fu Shiyan was startled and asked hurriedly, "Is she okay? Is she injured?"

"The young lady was just a little frightened. Fu Yi has given her acupuncture and she fell asleep. She is fine otherwise. As for the nanny... I heard that she was killed by thieves while trying to protect the young lady on the way of escape." It is hard to imagine how a nine-year-old child and a sixty-year-old nanny survived those days of escape.

"Let's go to Tongxin Hall." The two of them climbed through the window and used their lightness skills to quickly disappear into the depths of the peach forest.

On the bed in the inner room of Tongxin Hall, there lay a pale, thin little girl. She seemed to be dreaming about something, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She whispered, "Mom, Dad, Brother, Nanny, where are you? Nuannuan misses you so much."

Fu Shiyan, who was sitting beside the bed, stroked her head gently, "Brother is here, Nuannuan, don't be afraid."

Fu Yi said at the side, "Master, don't worry too much. The young lady has taken the tranquilizing soup and is fine. But I'm afraid the knot in her heart won't heal for a while."

Fu Shiyan gently wiped the sweat from his little sister's forehead, comforting her as she struggled in her dream.

The little girl on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes full of fear. She looked at the little brother who loved her the most and murmured, "Second brother, Nuannuan saw you again."

Fu Shiyan, who was always aloof, saw his usually lively little sister become like this. His eyes turned red and he said softly, "You are not dreaming. Brother has found you. No one will dare to bully Nuannuan anymore."

"Brother, this is the first time you speak to me. Nuannuan misses you guys so much. I really want to go find you guys, wuwuwu?" Nuannuan, with tears streaming down her face, still hadn't woken up from the nightmare.

Fu Yi, who was waiting on the side, took out a silver needle and injected it into Shi Nuan's head again. After a while, Shi Nuan's lifeless and fearful eyes gradually became clear. Looking at the second brother in front of him, he bit himself hard in disbelief.

Fu Shiyan took her hand and said distressedly, "Does it hurt?"

When he looked up again, he saw the little girl's eyes were filled with tears. Big tears fell on her fair face. She stretched out her little hand and tremblingly pulled Fu Shiyan's clothes.

"Brother, am I dreaming? Are you still alive?"

"I'm still alive, and my brother is alive too." Fu Shiyan said to her with a smile.

Nine-year-old Nuan Nuan burst into tears and hugged Fu Shiyan, crying and saying, "Brother, our family is gone, Dad and Mom are dead, and Nanny is dead too, wuwuwuwuwu."

She and her nanny once secretly went back to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to look for her brother and his family. They found that the soldiers were cleaning up the corpses. They saw their mother lying in the yard holding their second brother, and they thought that their second brother was dead as well.

Now seeing his second brother sitting in front of him alive, he smiled with tears in his eyes and said, "Second brother, it's great that you're alive." Thinking of the tragic death of his parents, he burst into tears again.

Fu Shiyan patted his little sister's back gently, comforting her softly.

Fu Yi and Fu Lei bowed and left, leaving the brother and sister who had finally reunited some space to be alone.
