Chapter 370 Haitang? Linglong and his daughter recognize each other
After Shen Youran returned, she immediately found Yao Qingnian. At this moment, she was treating Zhou Hao's wound in her room. After two days of earnest persuasion, Zhou Hao finally stopped making trouble. She promised that as long as his injury got better, she would find a chance to take him to see Chen Shuhua. They went back to the Duke's Mansion yesterday, but did not get any useful information. It seemed that they could only wait for Zhou Hao to speak up.
"Miss, the second lady is here. She is outside the door. Would you like to let her in?" Linglong reported from outside the door.
"When will she come back?" Yao Qingnian stopped what he was doing, opened the door and walked out, asking Shan Wei to go in and guard.
"It was brought back by the Princess's maid yesterday. You and your wife went to the Duke's Mansion, so you didn't know about it. When you came back last night, I saw that you were very tired, so I didn't mention it."
"Okay, I get it. I'll go out and meet her and see what she wants to do."
When she arrived at the door, she saw Shen Youran standing there obediently. When she saw her come out, she smiled sweetly and called out, "Sister."
"Something?" Yao Qingnian was too lazy to waste time talking to her and asked her directly what she wanted to do.
"Would you like me to sit in your yard?"
"Right here, if you have something to say, just say it now. Don't waste time. I'm busy!"
"It's like this. I've learned the rules and taken some lessons in the Princess's Mansion these days. Only then did I realize that my family is the most important and the ones who love me the most. I was too naive and ignorant before, and always thought that it was because of your return that my parents no longer loved me, so I did some things that let me down, sister. I'm here to apologize to you." Shen Youran bowed to express her apology.
Did he learn his lesson after going to the Princess's Mansion? Anyway, she didn't really believe it: "You came to me just to talk about this, okay, I get it, you can go back, I still have things to do, so I won't say more to you." After saying that, she turned around and prepared to go back.
"Sister, wait a minute. I have something else to tell you. You've been back for quite some time, and we two sisters haven't had a good time together. So I want to invite you to go to Fengxi Lake with me tomorrow to cruise and listen to music. What do you think?"
"Not interested." Yao Qingnian opened his mouth to refuse. No one would come to see him for no reason. If someone came to ask him to go boating with him, he must be a traitor or a thief.
"Sister, the lake is not far from the Duke's Mansion. We can also visit grandpa and grandmother by the way."
Originally, Yao Qingnian was not planning to agree, but when she heard that the place was not far from the Duke's Mansion, she remembered that she had promised her grandmother that she would go there the next day to teach her how to make soy milk, so she nodded and agreed.
"Okay, then it's a deal. I'll go back and prepare gifts for Grandpa and Grandma. I'll wait for you outside the mansion at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow."
After Shen Youran finished speaking, she left happily.
"Miss, you really have to go. I think the second young lady has some bad intentions." Linglong stood aside and heard everything clearly.
"Even you can hear that this matter is not simple, so how could I not know it?" Yao Qingnian smiled.
"Then why are you still going?" Linglong was a little puzzled. What if they encountered danger?
"Go, if you don't go how will you know what she wants to do. I happen to be going to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, so I can play with her by the way." Yao Qingnian looked at Shen Youran's back as she left briskly, then turned around and went back to the yard.
"By the way, Linglong, Shanwei will be accompanying me out tomorrow, so you will be responsible for taking care of the people in the room. Remember to be careful." Yao Qing was thinking that since Zhou Hao was Linglong's biological father, letting Linglong take care of him would be a good opportunity to cultivate the relationship between father and daughter.
"Yes, miss." Linglong is a sensible girl. She always acts like a caring sister in front of her and never asks too many questions when she does things. She is mature and steady.
"Come in with me first. I'll tell you about his situation." Yao Qingnian took her to the side room in the yard. "His name is Zhou Hao. His leg is broken, so it's not convenient for him to move around. His daily life may be a little troublesome."
"Okay, miss, I understand."
"Why don't you ask me why he is here?"
"Miss, you must have your reasons for doing this. If you want to tell me something, just tell me. If you don't, I won't ask any more questions. It is my duty to do what you ask me to do." Linglong stood aside obediently with her head lowered. Although the young lady was not a real young lady, she always treated herself like a sister. Now that Miss Nianran is gone, she is her master.
"Uncle Zhou, Linglong will be in charge of taking care of you these days. When you get better, I will arrange another place for you to live."
At this time, Zhou Hao was lying on the bed, not knowing what he was thinking about. He came back to his senses after hearing Yao Qingnian's words and looked at them. At this time, Linglong slowly raised her head and looked at him.
At this glance, Zhou Hao's eyes suddenly widened, and he struggled to get up, but he couldn't get up after trying for a long time. He just stared at Linglong and said, "Haitang, are you Haitang?"
Yao Qingnian signaled Shan Wei to help the man up.
After Zhou Hao sat up straight, he looked at the girl in front of him again: "No, you are not her. Sorry, girl, I recognized the wrong person."
His excited expression just now dimmed. More than 20 years have passed. How could Haitang still be as young as she was back then? Perhaps he missed his wife too much, so he mistook the person for her.
"Who are you and why do you know my mother?" Linglong looked at the man in front of her in surprise.
Zhou Hao's darkened eyes brightened up again: "Your mother? Are you talking about Haitang?"
Yao Qingnian didn't expect that the two of them would get to know each other so quickly.
"Well, my mother is Haitang."
"Similar, so similar. How about your father?" Zhou Hao disappeared for so many years. Even though Haitang didn't wait for him to marry someone else, he had nothing to say. It was better for someone to take care of Haitang instead of her being alone. Thinking of this, he felt relieved. But Linglong's next words made him excited again.
"I don't know. My mother said he disappeared. She hasn't seen him since I was born."
"Missing?" The girl looked to be in her twenties...could this be... her own child?
"Well, he has been missing for more than 20 years." Linglong looked at the man in front of her, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
"This..." Zhou Hao felt mixed emotions and was speechless for a moment.
"Uncle Zhou, you are right. Linglong is your daughter. When you disappeared, Aunt Haitang was already pregnant with Linglong." Yao Qingnian told the truth.
"Is this true?" Zhou Hao burst into tears after hearing this: "Your name is... Linglong? You've grown up so much now. I am so sorry to you and your daughter. For so many years, she has worked so hard to raise you alone..."
