the study door opened.

madam li and the others instantly flashed three feet away, as if they were not eavesdropping.

old madam wei walked out majestically and glanced at the four of them. she said sternly, “the few of you, follow me.”

she wanted to call them into the room to talk, but there was a limit to the number of rooms in the medical center. after thinking about it, she decided to go next door.

wei ting was unconscious on the hospital bed.

old madam wei put down the veil and sat on the chair. she said with an elder’s aura, “when little six saw me in the study just now, he couldn’t wait to acknowledge me. he’s little six.”

the corners of madam li’s mouth twitched.

if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would really believe it. he couldn’t wait? was she sure it wasn’t her who cried, threw a tantrum, and tried hanging herself?

old madam wei coughed lightly. “we haven’t seen each other for four years, so he’s not distant from me. the few of you… are more or less not used to it. give him some time. don’t ask all kinds of questions.”

everyone’s lips curled up.

ifyou speak against your conscience, won’t your conscience really hurt?

“the second thing.” when old madam wei mentioned this, she straightened her expression. “little six’s appearance is already ruined. he lost an arm and his throat is damaged. treat him normally. don’t cry in front of him. the men of the wei family don’t need sympathy.”

the few of them were stunned at first, then slowly nodded.

back then, when wei ting went to collect the corpses of lord wu an and his father and brothers, wei liulang’s corpse was the most damaged. there was almost no intact bone. wei ting brought back the mud mixed with bones, flesh, and armor fragments and placed them in a coffin for burial.

none of the men from the wei family survived. everyone thought that wei liulang’s corpse had been shattered by the northern yan army.

it was good he was alive!

no matter what he became, he would always be their little six.

as for wei liulang’s identity, matriarch wei chose not to announce it to the public for the time being.

this was wei liulang’s intention, and also matriarch wei’s own.

although mo guiyuan was already dead, the wei family would not rest easy from now on.

it was better for wei liulang to be in the dark than in the open.

madam li said, “then… dahu, erhu, xiaohu…’

they were wei little six’s children. wei liulang could not interact with the outside world, but could he not acknowledge the children?

in the courtyard, dahu, erhu, and xiaohu came over.

the three of them immediately saw wei xiyue sitting on the steps playing with a lotus seed pod.

“sister xiyue! ”

the three little ones flew over.

wei xiyue originally planned to feed the three of them a lotus seed pod. thinking of her experience of choking when she was young, she put down the lotus seed pod and picked up the small food jar beside her.

the three of them flapped their small arms and leaned forward slightly, like three birds waiting to be fed.

wei xiyue fed the three little ones pine nuts and dried meat and said to the three of them, “my sixth uncle is back.”

“who’s sixth uncle?” dahu asked.

wei xiyue was a child who was not good with words. she thought for a moment and decided to personally bring them to see her sixth uncle. she led the string of little tiger heads into the study.

“sixth uncle.”

wei xiyue called for someone.

the three little ones looked at wei liulang and exclaimed in unison.

wasn’t this the uncle they had seen at the imperial astronomers? he lived next door to their stinky father! dahu had even given him dates!

so he was called sixth uncle.

the three little ones looked at him cutely and said obediently, “sixth uncle!

their father, wei yan, was speechless.

old madam wei asked madam jiang to go to the lobby to see if su xiaoxiao was busy. if she wasn’t, she would ask her to come over.

su xiaoxiao happened to be free. “coming, fifth sister-in-law.”

madam jiang brought su xiaoxiao to the door. “go in.”

this was another “grandparent-grandchild” private conversation.

“oh.” su xiaoxiao walked in.

she habitually checked the patient’s condition first. wei ting was fine for the time being.

she looked at matriarch wei. “why are you looking for me?”

“it’s about the children,” old madam wei said. “you might not know, but little six has already acknowledged me. this child has been close to me since he was young. he can’t wait to acknowledge me.”

su xiaoxiao muttered to herself, “why do i feel that he was kidnapped? am i seeing things? also, did she ask me for syrup labeled as poison just now?”

where did wei ting get his smugness from? she had successfully solved the case.

after showing off, matriarch wei cut to the chase. “what do you think of dahu and the others?”

“pretty good,” su xiaoxiao said. old madam wei said, “i’m asking if you like them?” “i do,” su xiaoxiao said honestly.

“then are you willing to continue being their mother?”

su xiaoxiao looked at wei ting on the bed.

matriarch wei said domineeringly, “don’t worry about him. his opinion isn’t important.”

wei ting, who had suddenly lost his status, was speechless.

su xiaoxiao said seriously, “of course, i’m willing, but isn’t sixth brother back?”

she could snatch them from wei ting, but she could not snatch them from their biological father.

old madam wei sighed. “this is what i wanted to tell you. i asked little six just now. little six said that he doesn’t want to acknowledge dahu and the others for the time being. the children have a father and mother now, and he can’t give them this completeness. they’re still so young. it wasn’t easy for them to forget the torture before. if i stab their scars again and make them become motherless children, they’ll be sad. it’s not like i won’t tell him for the rest of their lives. when they’re old enough to bear the truth, little six will acknowledge them.”

these words were definitely not matriarch wei’s words alone. it was indeed wei liulang’s decision after careful consideration.

the children were too young. he did not want to hurt their young hearts again and again.

he hoped that they would grow up safely and happily.

although he wanted to hear them call him father even in his dreams, he would rather not if the price of calling him father was to expose the cruel truth to them.

when su xiaoxiao arrived at the courtyard, the three little ones were playing happily with wei xiyue.

“i’m wearing a toger! no, i’m wearing a lion! howl—”

xiaohu bared his fangs and brandished his claws to grab dahu, erhu, and wei xiyue.

wei xiyue giggled.

he couldn’t catch them and quickly gave up. he lay on the ground. “i’m not catching anymore!”

wei liulang picked him up. “the ground is cold.”

xiaohu lay like salted fish on his lap. “i think it’s fine.”

su xiaoxiao walked over. “mother!”

the three of them came to her.

“where’s dad?” dahu asked.

su xiaoxiao touched his head and said softly, “dad… is still sleeping. he’s tired and wants to rest for a few days. don’t disturb him.”

“okay.” the three of them nodded obediently. they were obedient babies.

su xiaoxiao looked at wei liulang, who couldn’t take his eyes off the three of them, and said to the three little ones, “how about having sixth uncle as your father today?”

“what?” xiaohu asked.

su xiaoxiao repeated, “sixth uncle will be your father for a day, and i will be your seventh aunt for a day.”

it was not rare for children to play house.

wei liulang was stunned on the spot; his heart was pounding.

would they… call him father?

su xiaoxiao said, “call me seventh aunt first.”

the three little ones said, “seventh aunt!”

su xiaoxiao smiled and pointed at wei liulang. “alright, go find your father.”

the three little ones clattered to wei liulang and called out in a childish voice, “father!”
