274, Rebirth (16th Update)
Lian Huai didn’t understand Li Hengyi’s aning at first.
But after thinking it over, he realized that Xie Zhinuan was actually a very tenderhearted and ticulous person.
Being tenderhearted is a good thing, yet it can also be a flaw. However, when compared to a truly evil person, having a tender heart but being discerning is more likable.
With this thought in mind, Lian Huai vaguely responded with a sound, “Hmm!”
As for what he ant by “hmm,” Li Hengyi didn’t ask.
Given his status, he didn’t need to please anyone. People ca to please him, and he always felt that Lian Huai was up to no good.
Far less trustworthy than a mute servant.
The two fell silent as Xie Zhinuan ca over with Xie Yi in her arms. The nine-month-old child, though not well-fed and skinny, still had so weight to him.
Xie Zhinuan thought about whether or not to find a wet nurse. With a wet nurse to feed him, Xie Yi could gain so strength in his body.
With no experience in childcare, and considering how so children are fed with formula until they are four or five years old, she asked Li Hengyi about this matter.
“There’s no need for that, just take careful attention to him is enough!” Li Hengyi spoke and saw Xie Yi leaning in Xie Zhinuan’s embrace looking pitiable, and added, “When the ti cos, we’ll find soone. If he’s willing to nurse, then she’ll stay; if he’s not, then let it be. We’ll go by his preferences!”
“That would work too!”
Because she was inexperienced and uncertain, Xie Zhinuan was extrely ticulous and serious, especially when it ca to Xie Yi’s well-being. She personally took care of every detail, no matter how small.
No matter what his earlier life had been like, now, in Xie Zhinuan’s care, he was a treasure.
His physical disability didn’t impede Xie Zhinuan’s affection for him.
Because he was obedient and sensible, he was still quite lovable. The mute servant made him several sets of clothes, five or six pairs of soft socks, with a little tiger sewn onto the tip of each shoe with cloth strips.
All these mories had long been forgotten by Xie Yi, but now, reliving them, he realized that he was truly loved as a child. It was not as the wet nurse had said-that he had been abandoned to the wet nurse and his mother didn’t care for him at all. That others loathed his disability and even though his mother had Spiritual dicine, she refused to let him take it, and so on.
He had completely misunderstood his mother, all the people who had loved and cherished him, and in turn, he had hurt those who had been his closest and dearest.
“Mother!” Xie Yi called out.
Xie Zhinuan looked at him with a smile, reached out to hold him in her arms, and tenderly kissed him, “Hmm? Are you hungry, or do you need to pee?”
Her voice was soft and gentle, no different from the later years.
Xie Yi shook his head and held tighter to Xie Zhinuan’s neck.
He leaned into her embrace, unwilling to let go.
Xie Zhinuan let him be, carrying him to the window to show him the egrets landing on the riverbank, the trees and weeds on the shore, and the birds flying in the sky.
Whether it was a porridge with minced greens or a custard with egg yolk, his diet consisted of various kinds of nutritious foods that were easy for him to digest.
At night, it was Xie Zhinuan who, with her own hands, washed his bottom, his face, and wiped his hands.
His biological parents had never done this for him.
From the mont he was born and they found out he had a disability, they began to despise and hate him, thinking he was the reincarnation of a demon, that he caused them to be ridiculed. In the end, they tied him up with a cloth, hoping that he would be unable to struggle if the basin overturned, so he would have no chance to survive.
And in his previous life, he was so foolish, so naive, he believed their lies to be true. He thought his mother took him away from them to preserve her good reputation. Now, having lived again, he could see everything clearly.
