Xiao Lei had just finished bathing when he returned to the room, and before he had time to dry his wet hair, the family came in to inform his grandmother that he had entered the yard, and Xiao Lei could only hurriedly go out to greet him in wet fashion.

"My Lei'er, let grandmother see it. How did this hair come out before it could be done, and how could it be that it entered the evil wind. Is this how these subordinates serve their masters? Grandmother Xiao scolded the subordinates behind Xiao Lei with an angry face. It's really thin. You are not a filial grandson, these months have been safe and sound, and you will not send someone to report to us. Let us break our hearts in vain. Grandmother Xiao gently kneaded the palm of Xiao Lei's hand with one hand, while wiping the wet tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.

"Grandmother, grandson is not filial." Xiao Lei looked at his grandmother, whose eyes were red and her spirit was haggard, and she was about to kneel down with a sour heart.

"Get up." Grandmother Xiao said as she pulled up Xiao Lei, who was kneeling.

"After my grandmother sat down for a while, and after her grandson's hair was dry, she had to go and ask my father for sin." Xiao Lei said.

"What a sin, please! Where are you guilty! Your foolish father thinks you're no longer alive...... Phew, phew. Isn't my Lei'er doing well now? Let him wait, wait for Grandmother to go with you. If he dares to touch you, grandmother will not let you. Come, sit here. Tell your grandmother where you've been these days. Grandmother Xiao asked Xiao Lei to sit beside her, and took Xiao Lei's hand and said.

When Shi Manman was about to fall asleep under the lazy sun, Yun Bi walked to Shi Manman's side with her clothes in her hand and said softly, "Girl, let the maid wait for you to bathe and change your clothes." ”

Shi Manman rubbed his sleepy eyes, and nodded lightly when he saw Yun Bi smiling at him.

On the silk-smooth skin, strings of water slid down the white arms and fell into the basin, and the warm water emitted a mist that enveloped the stone vines.

"The girl's skin is so good." Yun Bi, who was standing aside to shower the stone vines, said with envy.

Shi Manman looked at Yun Bi, then at himself and said, "You are also very good." ”

Yun Bi lowered her head and smiled slightly: "Where can the slave and maid compare with the girl." ”

Yun Bi was behind Shi Manman, combing her long hair as thick as ink. The cold and slippery touch crossed his hand, and when he fixed his eyes, a small black snake was faintly spitting out a letter and looking at himself. Maybe it was an illusion, Yun Bi actually felt that the little snake was like a human, with a joke in his eyes. "This ...... This is! Snake! ”

She resisted her fear and didn't dare to move at all, for fear that the movement would be too big and attract the attack of the black snake.

"Long'er, don't make trouble." When Shi Manman heard Yun Bi exclaim, he knew that the little hooked snake must not be able to resist the temptation of water and sneaked out.

"It'...... It's a little snake that I raised, and it doesn't bite. As he spoke, he grabbed the small hooked snake hiding in the hair on the back of his neck, and the little hooked snake took advantage of the situation and coiled the wrist of the stone vine. The motionless appearance is like a vivid three-dimensional tattoo.

"Auntie...... The girl's hobby, really...... It's special. Yun Bi's face was pale with fright, her voice was trembling, and she didn't dare to get close to Shi Manman.

After bathing, Yun Bi placed the prepared set of women's clothes in front of Shi Manman. Immediately took a step back. Shi Manman looked at the dress, and then looked at Yunbi.

"If the girl doesn't like the color or the style, I'll change it." Yun Bi saw that Shi Manman's face was embarrassed, and she thought that the other party didn't like this dress.

"This ...... How should I wear it? Shi Manman looked at a complicated set of clothes in front of him, reached out and picked it up, not knowing where to start.

Yunbi also knew that she should serve Shi Manman and dress, but the snake wrapped around Shi Manman's arm made her worry. It can be seen that the other party is really ignorant, but he can only stiffen his head and help Shi Manman put on complex dresses one by one.

Fasten the last of your belts, and the sound of a bell rings outside the door. "The lord invites the guests to the front hall for a gathering." Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

Yun Bi led the stone vines out from behind the screen, and the voice owner just stepped into the door. I saw that the other party was combing a cute double bun, and there was a string of double-disc vermilion hairpins inserted in the bun, shaking and shaking as they walked, like two fresh butterflies, and the owner of the reflection was lively and delicate.

"Yunxi, you are shouting and shouting again that there are no rules, be careful that the eldest lady knows and punishes you for copying the house rules." Yunbi made a straight face and taught the eleven or twelve-year-old girl in front of her.

"Sister, so you're there?" He stuck out his tongue mischievously. Seeing her like this, Yun Bi just shook her head lightly and didn't say anything more.

Yunxi used to be Xiao Lei's maid, and he didn't know what he did wrong a year ago, so he was given by Xiao Lei to his eldest sister Xiao Jin as a girl. Because of his eloquence and exquisiteness, Xiao Jin, who can always tease him, appreciates many things, and gradually becomes Xiao Jin's confidant.

"I'll take the girl over." After Yun Bi finished speaking, Yun Xi quietly raised his head and secretly looked at the stone vines in front of him.

Xiao Yuan originally called the family members around him to come over and spread the word. And the big event of Xiao Lei's return came to Xiao Jin's ears early. Xiao Jin asked Yunxi to inquire where Xiao Lei was, so that he could go and see his younger brother who had not returned for several months. But on the way, Yunxi met the family member who was sent to deliver the news, and when she inquired, she found out that Xiao Lei had brought back a girl, so she ignored Xiao Jin's instructions and brought this matter in private.

As soon as Yunxi entered the door, he looked at the stone vines unscrupulously, secretly compared with himself, he did not have his own flamboyance, his body was thin and invisible, except for his delicate appearance and unique cold temperament, it was not the appearance of the imaginary country and the city. Childe would bring back a woman with a mediocre appearance, even if she was surprised and quietly relieved, but there was still a trace of jealousy in her heart. She didn't hide her thoughts, pouted at Shi Manman, and turned to leave.

"This girl is spoiled, forgive me, girl." Yun Bi looked at the departing Yunxi helplessly, and smiled apologetically at Shi Manman. Although she didn't know why Yunxi had such an attitude towards herself, she still felt the hostility that emanated from her body. She was full of doubts, did she offend the other party?

Shi Manman shook his head to show that he didn't care, and Yun Bi led Shi Manman to the front hall.

In the hall, Xiao Yuan was drinking hot tea, and the water vapor coming out of the white porcelain teacup made it impossible to see his expression at this time.

On the seat opposite him, there sat a woman dressed as a woman, her skin was like congealed fat, her eyebrows were like far-reaching, and her bearing was graceful. Holding a piece of beautiful jade with a transparent embryo body in his hand, he played with it, and sometimes smiled slightly at Xiao Yuan beside him.

She is the aunt of the Xiao family, Liu, after the death of Xiao Lei's mother, she rightfully became the only mistress of the Xiao family, no matter how much outsiders laugh at the heroine of the Xiao family as a concubine, Xiao Yuan has never married again. Xiao Jin is from the Liu family.

After Yun Bi brought the stone vines into the hall, he stood aside with Yun Xi, who had come earlier and wanted to join in the fun. Shi Manman looked at the man in front of him who was six or seven points similar to Xiao Lei with a little curiosity, and then looked at the Liu family next to Xiao Yuan, she was stunned when she saw Liu's appearance, only to feel that this woman's beauty was too unreal, and there was even a trace of inexplicable familiarity on her body.

Xiao Yuan didn't think that the other party would look at himself and Liu very "rudely" as soon as he came, and after coughing unnaturally, he thought that the other party would speak first, but he didn't expect her to be calmer than she imagined, but let herself be passive. The Liu clan was not annoyed by Shi Manman's rudeness, and looked at Shi Manman with a generous smile with a gentle look of kindness.

"Yunxi, where is the usual astute and capable, and you don't want to show this girl tea. Father, aunt, Jin'er has overstepped her bounds. A crisp voice with a slight feeble rebuke sounded from behind him. Shi Manman turned around, only to see a tall and slender woman, supported by her subordinates, slowly entering the hall, weak and windy, her face was full of sickness.

The person who came was Xiao Jin. After she explained that Yunxi went to visit Xiao Lei, she saw that the other party had not come back for a long time, and thought of the reason why Yunxi had been pointed out to her by Xiao Lei, beware of this girl getting into trouble again, so she asked people to look for Yunxi again. On the way to find Yunxi, he learned that Xiao Lei had brought back a woman, and as the only eldest sister, Xiao Jin was naturally curious about Shi Manman. Because she still remembered what Xiao Lei said to her very seriously when she was very young.

"Girl, it's the Xiao family who is slacking." Xiao Jin came to Shi Manman's side and apologized to Shi Manman slightly. Shi Manman shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

Xiao Yuan saw his daughter coming, and ordered someone to bring a chair for Xiao Jin to sit down.

"Why is Jin'er here, your current body can't withstand such a toss." Liu's tone was full of pity.

After Xiao Jin sat down, she replied: "My daughter saw that the sky was good, and she often lived indoors, so she was depressed and wanted to go out for a walk. I didn't want to hear the good news of Lei'er's return, I thought Lei'er was in my father's courtyard, and I came over halfway when I learned that my father was in the front hall. After Xiao Jin finished speaking, his breath became rapid. It took a while before it gradually subsided.

Xiao Jin was a few months old, and during an early spring tour of the lake a few years ago, he fell into the water for too long and hurt his heart. As a result, I can't work too hard in the future, and most of the time I don't go out of the boudoir.

With the Xiao family's local financial resources, there are not many people who propose marriage, but Xiao Jin's body is getting weaker day by day, and the number of people proposing relatives is gradually decreasing, and he has not yet decided on a marriage. This does not prevent the elders in the family from loving her, because Xiao Lei's occasional outrageousness is more popular with her family.

After Xiao Jin and the elders saluted and sat down, Xiao Yuan put down the teacup and asked, "What is the name of the girl?" ”

"Stone vines." Shi Manman replied.

"But the girl saved Lei'er?" Xiao Yuan's keen eyes looked at Shi Manman, as long as the other party had the slightest abnormality, he could detect it.

"Yes." At the beginning, Xiao Lei also knew that he had been missing for half a year without any news, and he would definitely face countless problems from his family when he returned home, so he repeatedly made up his rhetoric on the way back until there were no loopholes. And tell Shi Manman that if someone asks how to ask, you will answer how you want.

Xiao Yuan also knew that he was so rash now, and he was very discordant to ask questions around a girl's house who came to Xiao Mansion as a guest. But the woman in front of him was the only person Xiao Lei had been in contact with for several months since he disappeared, and it was about the only heir of the Xiao family, so Xiao Yuan had to be cautious.

"Where does the girl live? The Xiao family came to thank them. "Liu is a clear-minded person, and she also knows that such a scene is very embarrassing now, and Xiao Yuan is not good at asking some sharp questions to a girl's family.

"I don't have a home. Live in Kunlun. "Shi Manman learned from Xiao Yuan to drink tea, but after the bitter and astringent taste, it was sweet and fragrant." This leaf is soaked in water, and the taste is so magical. Shi Manman, who had never drunk tea, said secretly in his heart.

Kunlun? I've never heard of Kunlun in this neighborhood, and I don't have a home yet. Could it be that she really grew up wild in the mountains? But looking at Shi Manman's fresh and outstanding temperament, he doesn't look like a country girl with no temperament at all.

"Girl, forgive me for being presumptuous, you mean that both parents in the family are deceased?" Ryu asked.

Parents? Shi Manman thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I don't have parents. "Shi Manman really didn't lie, she was transformed by a stone, and she was born with no parents. But the Xiao family misinterpreted her meaning, after all, they would never have thought that there was a real goblin in front of them.

I don't have parents, I don't know where I came from. Xiao Yuan immediately decided in his mind that the other party must have a plot to get close to Xiao Lei, maybe even Xiao Lei's disappearance was related to her. In the shopping mall, Xiao Yuan had seen the conspiracy, and Xiao Yuan, who had been in the conspiracy for many years, immediately felt that Shi Manman must have a conspiracy.
