Chapter 1758: Chapter 1696: The Weight of Identity
Hua Wushuang looked at Wufu’s back and couldn’t help but shake his head. The little one still had a heavy sense of vigilance. She seemed not to trust this uncle of hers very much, which made him a bit sad.
But while he was sad, he also felt a bit gratified. Her attitude was the correct one, after all. Considering he became her uncle out of nowhere, and they’ve only been acquainted for a few months, if she trusted him wholeheartedly, he’d probably call her naive.
Hua Wushuang wondered how such a delicate woman like Mei Niang could raise such a daughter. Could it be a trait passed down through generations?
Looking at Wufu, she had the same determination as her mother. Whether in skills or insight, she was very much like her mother.
The more Hua Wushuang thought about it, the more convinced he was that he wasn’t wrong. Just like himself and Changsheng, he also bore a great resemblance. What’s strange about traits being passed down?
"Master, it’s time to go," Mei Xiu said with a smile.
Hua Wushuang acknowledged with a hum and walked forward.
Outwardly, Hua Wushuang was the master of the Mei Family and the leader of the current generation, holding a respected position. Now that he had returned to the old estate, everyone came to greet him.
"Welcome, Master." Everyone bowed in unison.
Following behind Hua Wushuang, Wufu curled her lips. Quite the grand demeanor.
Hua Wushuang raised his hand slightly and said "at ease," prompting everyone to stand up straight. Some looked curiously at Wufu, wondering if she was the master’s woman, seeing she was a young lady.
The old steward standing at the front was somewhat emotional. The heavens had opened their eyes; the master had finally come forward, and the Mei Family would now have something to rely on.
However, Hua Wushuang shattered his dream with just one sentence.
"Uncle Mei, this is Wufu, my niece, the granddaughter of Mother."
Everyone was stunned, looking at each other.
Niece, granddaughter?
Steward Mei was also taken aback, then he realized and said, "Is this the one the Old Madam mentioned?"
Hua Wushuang nodded, "Yes, I found them. But when I found them, my sister died from a difficult labor."

Hua Wushuang waved to Jadeite and took the basket from her hand, showing the child inside to Steward Mei: "This is my nephew, his formal name is Mei Yu, but we call him Changsheng. His mother passed away just after giving birth to him."
Steward Mei looked down and immediately his eyes reddened. Holding out his hands, he asked, "Young Master, this old servant, may I hold him?"
Hua Wushuang nodded.
Steward Mei took Changsheng out carefully, looked at him closely, and repeatedly said, "Good, this nephew resembles his uncle, incredibly similar to you when you were young, just like the Old Madam."
If Hua Wushuang hadn’t said it was his nephew, he’d have thought this was his son. But Hua Wushuang isn’t married yet and has no children; who knows if he’ll ever have any. This child bearing the Mei surname, was he staying here with the Mei Family?
Steward Mei doted on Changsheng for a while before he carefully placed him back in the basket. He then looked at Hua Wushuang and Wufu, saying, "You must be tired after the long journey, go in and freshen up." As he spoke, he motioned to several maidservants to lead them in and attend to them.
With his command, everyone below moved promptly, retreating inside.
Those working as servants all had a clear understanding. Seeing the master introduce the girl so solemnly, as well as the young master, the significance was obvious; they all knew to be shrewd and attentive.
Although they had never heard of the master having a sister, seeing how the steward spoke about the young master, the matters within were likely not for outsiders. They only knew that two young masters had been added to the household, and they must serve them properly as they would the true masters.
