After Marrying the Officer

Chapter 1406: Huo Shiwu the Little Steward’s Story: Worries Upon Returning to China in 1405

"Shiwu!" Xia Chuyi immediately called out. freёwebnoѵel.com

The housemaid quickly said, "Lady, don’t worry, the young master just went to play by the door."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi felt a lot more at ease, but she still needed to see her son to be completely assured.

So, Xia Chuyi rushed out to look for her son.

Then, she found her son, covered in dirt, with his head buried in the garbage pile, rummaging for something.

At that moment, Xia Chuyi really didn’t know how to describe her feelings.

She felt relieved, yet a mix of anger and amusement.

"Young Master!" The housemaid, who came along, reacted much more dramatically than Xia Chuyi.

How could she not be nervous? When Huo Shiwu woke up, the maid was watching him playing at the door.

At that time, Huo Shiwu was just looking around in the courtyard and wasn’t doing anything.

Because little Huo Shiwu was always quite obedient and well-behaved, the maid watched for a while.

Thinking she had other things to do inside, she gave a few reminders and went back to tidy up.

Who would have thought that in just a short time, the young master would run to the garbage pile to play!

"Young Master, what are you doing here?" the maid said anxiously, "Are you looking for something? Tell me, I’ll help you find it!"

Saying this, she stepped forward intending to carry Huo Shiwu out of the garbage pile. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"No." Little Huo Shiwu responded without even lifting his head, furrowing his little brows and dismissing her with a wave, continuing to dig through the trash.

The maid’s hand was brushed away by Huo Shiwu.

"Young Master!" Seeing this, the maid was a bit anxious but didn’t dare forcibly carry Huo Shiwu, fearing he would get angry.

The maid had worked in the Huo Family for a long time, and she knew that even though Huo Shiwu was small, he was very determined.

If the young master didn’t want to do something, anyone who forced him would make him angry.

As for Huo Shiqian, he approached his son with a more open and respectful attitude towards education—because Huo Shiwu was sensible.

Therefore, the maid could only turn to Xia Chuyi, anxiously and apologetically saying, "Lady, I’m sorry, I didn’t watch the young master properly. Please quickly carry him out!"

In this house, only Xia Chuyi would resort to "forceful measures" with their son.

Seeing the maid so anxious, Xia Chuyi first reassured her, saying, "It’s okay, I’ll handle Shiwu."

Saying this, she went forward to get her son out of the garbage pile.

At this moment, hearing Xia Chuyi’s voice, Huo Shiwu lifted his head, his little face dirty and serious as he looked at Xia Chuyi.

"Mom, I have important business to do." Huo Shiwu squatted in the garbage, saying seriously.

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi chuckled and said, "Important business? Picking trash? You little rascal, get up!"

Xia Chuyi didn’t mind her son’s resistance, directly pulling the little fellow out.

"Look at you, how filthy you are?" As soon as she picked him up, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but frown.

Frowning, Xia Chuyi noticed that Huo Shiwu frowned even more, struggling in her arms, and said very seriously, "Mom, put me down, I have things to do, I have big things to do!"

Seeing her son struggle, Xia Chuyi raised her hand and gave him a light smack on the bottom, saying, "What big things? Now, obediently go home with me, take a bath, that’s the big thing!"

Being carried back towards the house by his mother, Huo Shiwu became anxious and blurted out, "I’m looking for my brother and sister!"
