Chapter 567: Chapter 565 A Cry of "Father-in-law" Spoken Aloud_1

Although it was an empty grave, it still couldn’t just be left unattended. Besides, how many people knew that Na Xiaoxiao was still alive? So, Mu Yingchen and Mu Zisu, the two gentlemen, quickly restored the grave to its original state.

"Could you three give us a heads-up before you do anything shocking next time?" On the way back, Su Wanxia looked at Mu Zisu, Mu Zixuan, and Mu Ziqing with displeasure.

"Would you even let us do it if we told you?" Mu Zixuan pouted, clearly knowing they’d keep them in the dark... It was better to find the answers themselves.

Su Wanxia looked up at the sky in speechlessness—

"Daddy, Mommy, when did you find out Xiao Xiao was still alive?" Mu Ziqing asked, sticking her head out curiously towards the two adults.

Su Wanxia raised her hand to rub her temples, "We only found out about it a year ago..." she said resignedly.

Instantly, the three of them were struck with a realization. So, it was only a year ago?

It had been just one year and three months in total, and they had known for a year yet hadn’t told them...

"That’s really heartless..." Mu Zixuan muttered.

This time, Su Wanxia simply closed her mouth, deciding not to continue the conversation with the three of them.

Mu Yingchen explained helplessly: "Things are not as simple as you think..."

Mu Zisu’s stride suddenly halted, and the others stopped as well.

Mu Yingchen looked at the three of them, "Do you think that Xiao Xiao, having been so seriously injured, could just be saved immediately upon saying so?"

A chill went down Mu Zisu’s spine, his father was right. Xiaoxiao had truly stopped breathing at that time. Bringing her back to life couldn’t have been easy!

Mu Yingchen looked at the sudden change in Mu Zisu’s expression, then added, "But don’t worry, she’s fine now... However, where exactly she is, your mother and I really don’t know..."

Mu Zisu’s eyes brightened, and he quickened his pace, eager to ask his future father-in-law about Xiaoxiao’s whereabouts.

It was broad daylight, and Na Ersi had already been sitting by the stone table in the courtyard waiting for Mu Yingchen and the others.

Na Wa brought over a pot of clear tea with a smile and joined them at the table.

"How did they find out?"

Na Ersi shook his head helplessly, "We’ll know after asking them in a bit..."

Na Wa laughed quietly, recalling what Na Ersi had told her when he came back. She couldn’t even get angry, those three kids had truly surprised them...

It wasn’t long before Mu Zisu walked in from the outside, leading the way. Seeing Na Ersi and Na Wa sitting in the courtyard, he strode confidently toward them.

Mu Yingchen and Su Wanxia and the others followed close behind him.

He stood next to Na Ersi and blurted out a shocking revelation!

"Father-in-law... Please tell me where Xiao Xiao is?"

"Cough--cough... cough..."

Even as composed as Na Ersi was, he was caught off guard by this sudden question...

Na Wa handed Na Ersi a handkerchief but her eyes remained wide with surprise as she looked at the earnest face of Mu Zisu...

Father-in-law?

She felt utterly disconcerted...

Meanwhile, Su Wanxia, who was following Mu Zisu, suddenly moved behind Mu Yingchen with a hand to her forehead...

Like father, like son, indeed. Back then, Mu Yingchen too had started calling Su Wanxia’s parents ’Dad’ and ’Mom’ without anyone’s consent, startling them considerably...

Now there was another one...

Sigh, she felt so helpless...

Mu Yingchen looked at Na Ersi, who still hadn’t calmed down, with a smirk that wasn’t quite a smile. He figured that Yaoyao’s calling him father-in-law had hit him like a thunderbolt...

Meanwhile, Mu Zixuan and Mu Ziqing were shaking with muffled laughter on the side. Yaoyao sure reacted fast, barely hearing that Xiaoxiao was still around and already the word "father-in-law" was on his lips...

Mu Yingchen walked over to the table, sat down, and picked up the teapot to pour himself a cup of water, which he set aside, motioning for Su Wanxia to come over and take a sip of tea to calm her nerves...

Su Wanxia couldn’t help but laugh as she walked over to the table to sit down, and gently took a sip from her tea cup...

"Father-in-law... please tell me where Xiaoxiao is?" Mu Zisu pleaded again.

From childhood to adulthood, except when speaking to his own family elders, when had Mu Zisu ever lowered his stature like this? But this man was different, he was his future father-in-law, and now was the time when he needed to ask for this great man’s help...

The hand that Na Ersi held his handkerchief with suddenly trembled again...

Then he sighed deeply and gestured with his eyes to a stone bench nearby, "Sit..."

Mu Zisu didn’t decline and sat down with a relaxed air.

"First, answer me a question..." Na Ersi said, fixing his gaze on Mu Zisu.

Mu Zisu nodded without hesitation.

"How did you find out?"

This was the question that Mu Yingchen, Su Wanxia, and Na Wa were most puzzled about.

They too wanted to know how these kids had found out; they hadn’t shown any outward signs... Where had they gone wrong?

Mu Zisu casually curled his lips into a smile and cast his gaze towards Mu Zixuan, who was leaning against Mu Ziqing.

Everyone couldn’t help but follow his gaze to Mu Zixuan.

Mu Zixuan gave everyone a dry smile and looked at Mu Yingchen and Na Ersi, "You two let it slip without realizing it..."

Mu Yingchen and Na Ersi frowned; when had they talked about this matter?

Whether in front of them or behind their backs, they hadn’t discussed it at all...

"When?" Mu Yingchen raised an eyebrow, looking at the innocent-faced Mu Zixuan.

Mu Zixuan pursed her lips, "It was last night when you went to see Yaoyao..."

Mu Yingchen and Na Ersi suddenly realized, and then shook their heads with a chuckle: their thoughts were indeed meticulous...

"We didn’t expect it... Just a couple of whispers between the two of us were caught by this girl..." Na Ersi felt genuinely helpless.

"Shanshan... you followed me and your Uncle Ersi..." Mu Yingchen looked at Mu Zixuan with feigned anger.

He clearly remembered that when he and Na Ersi went out, there wasn’t anyone behind them; when had she run up behind them?

And to think they hadn’t noticed it at all!

Mu Zixuan retorted with a pout, "I didn’t... I was just following you guys because I wanted to see Yaoyao. Who knew you two would stand at the cemetery entrance and start whispering to each other..."

"You really are patient, aren’t you? Why didn’t you come forward and ask us then?" Mu Yingchen said, unable to stop a laugh.

Mu Zixuan snorted softly, "If I asked you, what would you say? You’d definitely say Xiaoxiao is gone, that you saw with your own eyes, and so on, right?" After speaking, Mu Zixuan even tilted her chin up at the two men.

Her words left Mu Yingchen speechless...

Indeed, if Shanshan had confronted them at that moment, that’s exactly what they would have said, more or less...

"Then you went back and told Yaoyao?" Su Wanxia raised an eyebrow at her.
