Zhou Miao hugged Cheng Heng and turned away. The pigeon did not peck them but simply turned around and flew away.

Cheng Heng gradually stopped trembling and stayed in her arms to watch the pigeon.

Suddenly, the door to the attic opened.

Mother Cheng, who was on a business trip, rushed in and hugged Cheng Heng tightly. “Little Heng, are you hurt?”

Zhou Miao grabbed Cheng Heng’s small hand and pulled up his shirt. A large patch of scald injury and all kinds of bruises appeared before Mother Cheng’s eyes.

Mother Cheng’s expression changed from heartache to anger. “Little Heng, who bullied you?” She looked at Cheng Heng, hoping that he could reveal the culprit.

Cheng Heng’s mouth was stammering. His speech impediment was still very serious.

Mother Cheng sighed. “I heard you call me to say that you miss me. I took a private jet back immediately. How did it end up like this in just a few hours? Who bullied you, Little Heng?”

Zhou Miao said anxiously at the side, “Tell mommy it’s Aunt Shuping. It’s Aunt Shuping…”

“Forget it, Little Heng. I will investigate thoroughly.” Mother Cheng picked up Cheng Heng and prepared to apply medicine for him.

“Shuping… Aunt Shuping…”

Cheng Heng’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s.

Mother Cheng looked at Cheng Heng in disbelief. That honest maid dared to bully her son behind her back!

Shuping, who was standing at the door with a fawning expression, had already started to tremble. She began wailing loudly as she trembled. “No, Young Master was…”

“No need to explain. Pack your bags and go back today. I’ll get the housekeeper to get your salary ready for you.” Mother Cheng’s face turned icy cold.

“Housekeeper, prepare two more servants for the Second Young Master. If you discover these servants bullying the Young Master, report it to me, and I’ll reward you with two months’ salary.”

The housekeeper nodded in acknowledgment.

Zhou Miao heaved a sigh of relief. The matter had finally been resolved.

Initially, she had wanted to ask Cheng Heng to call Mother Cheng and ask her to come back earlier so that she would discover the two maids stealing food to eat. She didn’t expect Mother Cheng to take a plane back immediately after hearing the child whisper, “I miss Mommy” over the phone.

Shuping left the Cheng family in a sorry state.

However, Zhou Miao was not transported back like the last time. For some inexplicable reason, she actually stayed a little longer, all the way until Cheng Heng fell asleep.

It was already past bedtime, but Little Cheng Heng refused to close his eyes and kept staring at Zhou Miao. It was no use even when Zhou Miao sang a lullaby out of tune.

“Quickly go to sleep.” Zhou Miao sat by Cheng Heng’s bed, patting him gently.

He eventually closed his eyes unwillingly.

Zhou Miao felt her vision turn black, and the scene in front of her disappeared.

Little Cheng Heng opened his eyes and saw an empty room.

He closed his eyes and opened them again. He was still in his bedroom, and there was no one else.

“I miss… miss Big Sister…”

When Zhou Miao woke up, it was very bright outside, and she was in a good mood.

She drew the curtains aside, and the sunlight from outside the window streamed into the room. The second mission was also very successful!

The door opened, and the adult Cheng Heng stood behind her. He was still in his sportswear, and he was wearing a rabbit-eared hat on his head in a goofy manner.

Before Zhou Miao turned around, the rabbit’s ears were flapping on his head, like the tail of a little puppy that was wagging for joy when it saw its owner.

When Zhou Miao went downstairs for breakfast, she ran into Mother Cheng. “Good Morning, Mother.”

Mother Cheng saw that Zhou Miao was in a good mood and also smiled. “Morning.”

“Are you going out today?” Mother Cheng asked.

“I should take Cheng Heng out for a while. Nothing much happened when he went out last time. I think it would be good for him to interact more with the outside world.”

Mother Cheng nodded in agreement with Zhou Miao.

“But, Mother, I want to ask you something. Why is the attic upstairs locked?”

“Oh? That was originally the place where Cheng Heng’s father raised pigeons, but a shameless servant locked Cheng Heng in there. I was afraid that these servants would do something similar again, so I locked the room and stopped raising pigeons.”

“What happened to the servant after that?”

“She was fired. I guess she should be working as a cleaner now.” Mother Cheng said.

Zhou Miao nodded to indicate she understood. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, “Mother, where is she working as a cleaner now?”
