“I know Mother has never helped a child bathe, because other mothers also haven’t helped children bathe before.” Guobaorou blinked her big eyes, “But I heard Auntie say that other fathers all help their own children bathe.”

And on the other side getting his back scrubbed, Yu Shu was also thinking about Yan Jin and her.

The back-scrubbing master saw Yu Shu was absent-minded and curiously asked what was wrong with him.

After saying his worries, Yu Shu even sighed, “Who knows how those two are doing now.”

“I think it’s worrying.” The back-scrubbing master also sighed, “How can women take care of children, they have no sense of gentleness.”

Yu Shu continued sighing, “She has never bathed a child before, and that girl is quite chubby too. Her hands will definitely get tired. Hopefully that girl will let her use less effort.”

The back-scrubbing master was surprised, “I thought you would be more concerned about the child. I didn’t expect you to be more worried about the adult.”

“Although the child is young, she’s quite clever. The adult,” Yu Shu pouted, “She can’t even take care of herself, let alone take care of a child.”

Two flowers bloom, each with its own branch.

“Then do you want your father to help you bathe?” Yan Jin considered her words, “But your father is a boy and you are a girl. It’s not very convenient for him to bathe you.”

With Yu Shu’s personality, even if Guobaorou was really his child, he definitely wouldn’t bathe a four-year-old daughter.

After all, in the novels Yu Shu wrote before, the male lead never bathed a daughter over two years old.

So Yan Jin guessed that Yu Shu viewed these matters very seriously. Otherwise, just now Yu Shu wouldn’t have let her take Guobaorou.

Originally Yan Jin thought she might need some time to convince Guobaorou, but who would have thought she crisply said, “I know, that’s why I’m asking Mother to help me bathe.”

After saying that, Guobaorou even complained in what she thought was a soft voice, “I found that Father has become so childish. Mother tries to coax him but he won’t let Mother coax him.”

Yan Jin laughed, “What do you know about being childish.”

“I know everything.” Guobaorou cupped her face, “But a childish father seems happier than before.”

Yan Jin casually asked, “You still remember Father being very unhappy before?”

“Before, our family was much bigger than now. There were many little fathers and older brothers and sisters at home, but Father was unhappy and I was also unhappy.” Little Guobaorou sighed like an adult, “The older siblings thought I was too young and wouldn’t play with me. Only Mother would play with me and Father after court.”

Hearing Guobaorou mention “court”, Yan Jin immediately sat up straight.

A strange yet familiar person suddenly appeared in Yan Jin’s mind–that high Anguo official who looked almost exactly like her.

Although she felt there wasn’t much hope, Yan Jin still hugged Guobaorou and tentatively asked in her ear, “Is our home in the capital?”

Anguo had the custom of three husbands and four concubines. The only intersection between the original female lead from an influential family and the county magistrate who had previously won third place in the imperial exams was the capital. But they both remembered her face, indicating that the high official must be an official in the capital.

“No.” Guobaorou puffed out her bun-like face and pondered seriously for a moment before shaking her head, “Our home is not in the capital.”

“Then you just mentioned court?” After saying that, Yan Jin realized she had asked a silly question.

The little girl had lost most of her memories, so it was normal for her to speak incoherently. How could she explain everything clearly.

Yan Jin continued asking, “Then do Mother’s subordinates often come to our house to visit?”

If Guobaorou nodded, it would prove that Guobaorou’s mother held some power, so her subordinates would often visit her home.

“No.” Guobaorou continued shaking her head, “Mother’s subordinates never come to our house.”

Yan Jin was silent for a moment. She felt that she might have spoken too obscurely, so Guobaorou didn’t understand. She directly asked, “Is Mother an official?”

“No.” Guobaorou continued shaking her head, “No one in our family is an official.”

Attends court, doesn’t live in the capital, subordinates don’t visit, and isn’t an official. These four contradictory conditions made Yan Jin directly cross out the guess she just had in her heart.

She was silly to actually try to get information from a four-year-old girl.

Yan Jin felt a bit regretful in her heart, but didn’t show it on her face at all. She was even very serious, “Didn’t you just say you want me to help you bathe? If I help you bathe, you can’t cry later.”

“The world’s best mother is going to bathe me. I’m the world’s happiest child.” Guobaorou spoke in a childish voice, “I promise I’ll behave.”

If anyone else saw Guobaorou’s current cute appearance, they would be overflowing with parental love.

But Yan Jin was different.
