At this moment, the door opened, and the young man he had seen just now walked in, and Zhang Xiuzhi hurriedly stood up to give a salute.

"No need to be polite!" Chu Hongyu hurriedly helped him and said with a smile: "Miss Zhang, please take a seat!"

Zhang Xiuzhi sat down, bowed her head slightly, rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, looking very delicate and pitiful, the protective desire in Chu Hongyu's heart spontaneously arose, and the smile on her face became a little kinder, "Miss Zhang, today's incident is because of our Protector Mansion, there are some things we still need to investigate, and we will give the girl an explanation at that time, you have no place to go now, why don't you linger in our mansion for a while first, it can be regarded as making up for our sins." “

"It's all up to the son!" Zhang Xiuzhi said softly, she just heard this son say "Protector Mansion", her heart blossomed, this pie almost knocked her out, but when I heard that they had to go to check, I was a little scared, I was really worried that they would find out something. But it's all up to this, and I can only stiffen up.

"I don't know what to call the son?" Zhang Xiuzhi raised her eyes and looked at the prince of the Protector's Mansion, this is the first time she has seen this kind of noble figure! Sure enough, she looks magnificent, and the people she usually sees who call themselves sons don't know how many times better-looking, and her face can't help but turn a little redder.

Chu Hongyu saw that her face was crimson, and although her eyes were red and swollen, she had a kind of softness, and couldn't help but feel pity in her heart, thinking that if she was really the uncle's daughter, it should be no problem to call herself big brother, so he smiled and said: "Miss Zhang, just call me Brother Chu! I'll arrange for you to stay first, and if you need anything, just send someone to tell me." “

Zhang Xiuzhi nodded yes, and began to look forward to her future good life again.

Anyway, Chu Ning didn't know that someone was about to take up his identity, and he was very happy to eat a meal just now, Mrs. Xiao invited the two of them to sit in the mansion, and the two of them happily went.

When I arrived at Xiao's house, the pavilions and pavilions were all small and chic, it seemed that Mrs. Xiao was a very careful and loving person of life, and she saw that the furnishings in the room were also exquisite and ingenious, and she couldn't help but admire herself.

After the tea, Mrs. Xiao said to Xiao Lan: "Lan'er, I heard Ying'er say that you are very good at calligraphy and painting, I have a painting I want to ask Lan'er to appreciate it, okay?" “

When Chu Ning heard it, this was the meaning of taking her and Xiao Xiaoying away, at that moment, she saw that Mrs. Xiao's eyes were not ordinary when she looked at Xiao Lan, and now it seems that she is not wrong.

Xiao Lan didn't know why, but Mrs. Xiao definitely wouldn't harm her, but it also aroused her curiosity, I don't know what kind of painting it is?

Following Mrs. Xiao into the inner room, Mrs. Xiao took out a scroll from the bottom of a large locked box, Xiao Lan looked at more than one scroll in it, but the paper of this one looked the latest.

Xiao Lan saw that Mrs. Xiao was a little excited, and the silk ribbon tied on the picture scroll had not been untied for a while, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Auntie, I'll come!"

Mrs. Xiao smiled and handed it to Xiao Lan and laughed at herself: "It's old! It's still young!"

Xiao Lan untied the silk belt a few times, and she was a little excited in her heart, I don't know what kind of painting it is?

Unfolding the scroll, a middle-aged man who looks neutral and gentle slowly appears in front of him.

The despair and sadness in her heart, which had long been deliberately forgotten, swept her again, her body couldn't help shaking a few times, and tears suddenly blurred her eyes.
