Shangguan Zimeng helped him sit on a chair, and thinking that he might be hungry, she let him eat the snacks on the table.

"Eat slowly. If you want something else, I'll ask someone to bring it to you." She stroked his head and continued to ask, "Xiaoer, can you tell me why you are crying? Are you afraid of us?"

He stopped chewing and shook his head.

"Then why are you crying so hard? Did someone bully you? Or did the girl you like reject you?"

Yan Kaiyu raised his eyebrows: "Ahem..."

She gave him a look that told him to go get treatment if he was ill.

The waiter still shook his head and said nothing.

She guessed that he had some unspeakable secret, and considering him in her heart, she did not ask too hastily. The little guy cried so hard just now, it was really pitiful.

"Eat first. If you don't want to tell your sister, then we won't tell her. It won't be too late to tell her when you want to."

He looked up at her with gratitude. She looked into his clear eyes and truly thought that this child was so adorable. She wiped the corners of his mouth and smiled gently.

Yan Kaiyu enjoyed watching the scene in front of him and fantasized about getting married and having children in the future.

The waiter suddenly lowered his head and sobbed quietly, then raised his hand and wiped his tears stubbornly. After hesitating for a moment, he said in a crying voice: "Sister, wu~ I, I stole something..."

The couple looked at each other in tacit understanding and felt that what the waiter was talking about must be something special.

She smiled and comforted him, "Good child, don't cry. Can you tell your sister what you took?"

He described it according to his understanding: "It was a small black box as long as a finger, thin and can be twisted open. There was a note inside with words I didn't recognize."

In fact, what he said was a small cylindrical object used for delivering messages. Qin Xinzhe stuffed the note into it and ordered someone to hand the letter to Ma Sheng. When the person delivering the letter passed through the circus, the thing was squeezed away due to the large number of people.

The waiter was very curious about this thing. The polished iron felt good to the touch, the workmanship was exquisite, and there were beautiful patterns on it. He liked it very much and put it in his arms.

She thought the note inside was the secret letter, and said to him gently, "Waiter, this is not stealing. At most, it is considered as picking up something. Just return it to its original owner. It's no big deal. Where is the thing? Give it to your sister, okay?"

"Under the flagstones of the steps at home."

"You're really smart, and you know how to hide things." She touched his head, and seeing that he couldn't stop crying, she comforted him, "Xiaoer, I've already said that this doesn't count as stealing. Stop crying, okay?"

"No!!" He suddenly cried and roared: "I killed Daddy!!"

The young couple looked at each other tacitly again, but the difference from before was that there was a hint of surprise and astonishment in their eyes.

The thing is, a circus came to the city, and the innkeeper's son, whom the waiter called daddy, took him along to broaden his horizons. The child loved to play, and when the time came for him to return home, the troupe disappeared.

His father went to look for him, and ended up near the tent where Ma Sheng was, where he was caught and tortured for no apparent reason.

When the waiter returned to the theater and didn't see his father, he went to look for him. He happened to see Ma Sheng torturing his father, saying that he had stolen something. His father denied it and asked what it was. Ma Sheng described it to him.

The waiter took the iron condom out of his arms and was originally planning to return it to him and ask him to let his father go.

Unexpectedly, Ma Sheng directly killed Xiao Er's father. He witnessed it all with his own eyes and was so scared that he couldn't breathe. He held back his tears and sneaked home. He didn't dare to tell anyone about this because he was picked up and he was afraid that his grandfather would not want him.

"Wuwuwu... It's my fault! I stole something and killed Daddy!!"

"I don't dare tell grandpa. I'm afraid he will chase me away. This is my home. I don't want to leave. Woo woo woo woo ..."

"Sister, I just saw Grandpa crying. It's all my fault. I'm a bad kid! Wuuwuwu..."

Seeing his grandfather crying, he felt even more guilty and sad. He didn't dare to tell the secret in his heart, so he could only burst into tears to vent his emotions.

Shangguan Zimeng's eyes were already wet, and she held him in her arms. At this moment, she didn't want to talk, she just wanted to hold him quietly and give him spiritual comfort.

Yan Kaiyu remained silent. He turned his wheelchair and tried to go out, but the door frame was too high. He moved the wheelchair out while no one was paying attention, and sat down quietly in one go.

Zhou Yan watched him do this with his small eyes filled with confusion.

"Hush - if you dare to say that I will kill you."

"..."

"Now take someone to the inn, turn over the stone slabs on the steps, find something that contains an envelope, and bring the things back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhou Yan bowed and retreated.

"return."

"My Lord, do you have any other instructions?"

"Tell your men to be more cautious and not touch other people's money. If anyone disobeys your orders, their hands will be chopped off!"

He bowed and stepped back again.

"return."

"My Lord, what are your instructions?"

He took out two silver ingots from his pocket. Ever since Shangguan Zimeng took away his family fortune last time, he had less and less money. His wife still had to pay back the money to the casino, and he still... Alas, it's hard to put it into words.
