I won't use a woman

The next morning, Xianwu woke up early and even got ready early to Jia Li's surprise. However, he was lost in his deep thoughts, contemplating what he should do. 

'Will Father tell me if I ask?' 

He asked the same question from himself a lot of times. But didn't get a satisfactory response from his inner voice. 

When Jia Li's hand rested on his shoulder, only then he came out of his thoughts. "What are you doing in the garden in the early morning?" she inquired and came to the front to sit beside him on the swing. 

"Nothing," Xianwu replied. 

"Weren't you in some deep thoughts of your own?" Jia Li arched her eyebrows. "What happened?" she asked in her soft tone. 

"Should I ask Father once more about my mother?" Xianwu wanted to know her opinion on that. However, she had told him many times that only Lee Shimin could provide him with the answers. However, he wanted to hear from her one more time.
