Ning Er didn't let go of the dagger in her right hand, and walked behind Fang Yuanwai, Ning Er didn't know what Fang Yuanwai was going to take to see her, but as long as she found something wrong, she still had a dagger to protect herself, and she would fight to the death with Fang Yuanwai.

Fang Yuan took Ning Er out of the hall, turned to the left, and entered a path, the surrounding of the path was still the same as Fang Mansion, only trees, no flowers, it looked a little monotonous. Although Ning Er was very puzzled why Fang Yuanwai didn't plant flowers at home, she didn't ask, she just kept walking behind Fang Yuanwai, Ning Er hoped that she could see her father, Lu'er and Chengfeng Gongzi as soon as possible, as long as they were safe and safe, even if she really married Fang Yuanwai as the third aunt, it would be nothing.

Fang Yuan took Ning Er to walk along the path, and after walking for a while, he took Ning Er into a room. The light in this room was not sufficient, and it was very dark, Ning Er was afraid that Fang Yuanwai would regret it, afraid that he would do something to himself, so he hurriedly held the dagger very tightly, as long as Fang Yuanwai wanted to do something unfavorable to himself, he would fight with him, even if he couldn't beat him, he had to protect himself.

However, Fang Yuanwai didn't do anything to Ning Er, he walked to the inside of the room on crutches, Ning Er followed behind, and looked around, this room was very simple, there was not too much furniture, there was a layer of dust on the table and the floor, it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time.

Fang Yuanwai walked to the bookcase in the room, pushed the cabinet inside, the cabinet was opened like a door, it was dark inside, Fang Yuanwai was about to walk in, just took two steps, retreated again, and turned to look at Ning'er.

"Ning'er, it's dark inside, you can take a fire fold from the cabinet next to you to light it."

After Fang Yuanwai finished speaking, he pointed to the cabinet next to the table to Ning Er, Ning Er walked in the direction that Fang Yuanwai pointed out, opened the cabinet, and saw that there was a fire fold inside, Ning Er squatted down, took the fire fold out of the cabinet, took off the lid, blew it, and the fire fold came out, Ning Er slowly stood up with the fire fold, and followed Fang Yuanwai into the back of the cabinet.

Ning Er originally thought that her father and they were in this room, but she didn't expect Fang Yuan to take her into a secret passage, and Ning Er felt even more wrong, but she still followed Fang Yuanwai. Who would cultivate the secret path in ordinary people, how many things were there outside this Fang Yuan that he didn't know, Ning Er felt a chill in her back, and she didn't dare to ask anything, just walked with Fang Yuan.

"The secret passage is a bit long, there is little air inside, don't talk, if you have any questions, you will understand." Before Ning Er could ask, Fang Yuanwai seemed to already know what Ning Er was thinking, and he would understand it by saying it directly.

Ning Er heard Fang Yuanwai say this, and didn't ask much, in this secret passage, there is indeed very little air, take a few breaths, I feel a little stuffy in my chest, I can't breathe, Ning Er slowly adjusted her breathing, and the speed of walking slowed down, so that she was not so dizzy.

Fang Yuanwai took Ning Er to walk in the secret passage for a long time, Ning Er only felt that the air was getting less and less, breathing became more and more difficult, and she was a little dazzled when she walked, Ning Er began to walk on the wall of the secret passage, supporting herself to move forward a little bit.

As she walked, Ning Er suddenly felt that her chest was not so stuffy, it seemed that she could overbreathe, and her body had a little strength, and Ning Er had a premonition that she was about to go to the exit. Sure enough, after walking for a while, Fang Yuanwai stopped.

"Ning'er, you step back, I'm going to open this door." After Fang Yuanwai finished speaking, he leaned his body against the wall in front of him, pressed the strength of his body to the door, and pushed hard with both hands a few times, the wall in front of him shook a few times, leaking a little light, and the secret passage was a little brighter.

Fang Yuanwai pushed a few more times, pushing the wall in front of the secret passage open, as soon as he pushed it away, several bright rays of light shone into the secret passage, Ning Er was a little dizzy by this light, so he covered his eyes with his hand; After a while, Ning'er opened her eyes, blinked a few times, and got used to the light. Ning Er blew out the fire fold in her left hand, covered it with a lid, and put it in her sleeve.

When Ning Er looked up to see what was going on around her, Ning Er found that she was now in the garden of Fang Mansion, and the door of the secret passage that had just been pushed open by Fang Yuan was the rockery in the garden.

"Fang Yuanwai, didn't you say that you would take me to see my father? You've been taking me for so long, where are you going? ”

"Don't worry, your father and they are safe, I think you may care more about your mother than your father, don't you want to know some stories about your mother?" Fang Yuanwai did not directly say where Master Liu was, but mentioned her mother's matter to Ning Er again.

"My mother?" Ning Er was very puzzled when she heard Fang Yuanwai say this, but she also understood in her heart that her mother knew Fang Yuanwai, and there must be some story between them.

"Yes, your mother, let's go, take you somewhere, and when the time comes, I will tell you everything about me and your mother." Fang Yuanwai asked Ning Er to continue to follow him, he wanted to tell Ning Er about the matter between him and Mrs. Liu.

Although Ning'er is very worried about her father, but at this moment Ning'er feels that it may be more important to solve the doubts in her heart, there is a Chengfeng Gongzi on her father and Lu'er's side, there should be no problems, what happened between her mother and Fang Yuanwai, she really wants to know.

"Okay, please lead the way." Ning Er determined what she thought in her heart, no matter what, she must solve the confusion, and she wanted to know more about her mother's story, so she decided to follow Fang Yuanwai and continue to go.

Fang Yuan Wai saw that Ning Er agreed, so he continued to lead the way in front, except for trees and grass on both sides of the road, there was still no flower in sight, but the road that Fang Yuan took Ning Er made Ning Er feel very familiar, just like he had walked before.

Walking out of the rockery garden, Fang Yuan took Ning Er to walk on the main road, did not turn again, and walked directly to the door of a house, at the door of the house, Fang Yuan stopped outside. Ning Er saw that Fang Yuanwai stopped at the door of the house, and quickly quickened her pace a little, and looked around, that's right, she has been here by herself, and it is the room that Fang Yuan took herself into when she came to visit Fang Mansion that day.

Ning Er looked at the room in front of her, as if she understood something, but she didn't seem to understand very much, she stood at the door for a while, and followed Fang Yuanwai into the house.

Open the door, the furnishings inside are still exactly the same as the day Ning Er came, there has been no change, but the fragrance in this room has become a little stronger, the fragrance of plum blossoms is originally a very light fragrance, why does the room smell so strong? Ning'er lowered her head and found that there were a lot of sachets on the ground in the room, which turned out to be the smell of these sachets.

As soon as Ning Er came back to her senses from the fragrance, she saw that Fang Yuanwai was still standing in the same position where he was looking at the painting that day, still looking at the painting there, the painting of his mother enjoying the scenery in the snow.

"Ning'er, I know you have a lot of doubts in your heart, now I can tell you all of them. As you can see, all these things in the house are indeed related to your mother, the plum blossom forest painting on the ground, the plum blossom sachets placed all over the house, including this painting I saw; It can be said that it is because of your mother that this house exists. Fang Yuanwai said that his mother was more gentle, and she was no longer as strong as she used to force herself to marry him.

"Outside of Fang, what is the relationship between you and my mother?" Ning Er couldn't help but ask this question, this question has puzzled Ning Er for a long time, although she had guessed in her heart that Fang Yuanwai had an unusual relationship with her mother, but she didn't expect Fang Yuanwai to decorate the house like this because of her mother.

"I met your mother when I was out doing business, it was winter, I was cheated out of all my money because of business failure, walking in the snow, I was about to faint from hunger, I saw a girl standing in front of the plum tree with an umbrella and enjoying the snow, at that moment, I felt that the girl was so beautiful, I felt that I was in love with her. That's right, that girl is your mother, and you don't know how beautiful your mother looked in the snow. Fang Yuanwai recalled his mother, and couldn't help but touch the portrait on the painting again, as if his mother was still there.

"At that time, my business failed and I couldn't even fill my stomach, but it was your mother who saw me in the snow and gave me some food and money, although it was not much, but it was enough for me to start some small business again; I was in this way with your mother, and the two of us had a relationship. But it didn't take long for your mother to reach the age of marriage, and the family began to marry her, and I was afraid that she would be snatched away by others, so I went to her house to propose marriage, but do you know how snobbish your mother's father was, he disliked me for being poor, and was unwilling to marry your mother to me. When Fang Yuanwai said this, he was a little sobbed, and he could hear that his voice was a little trembling from his voice.

Ning Er had never heard her mother talk about these things before, but today she heard it from Fang Yuanwai, and she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her mother in her heart.

"In order to marry your mother, I made an agreement with your grandfather, and after a year, I will save enough money to marry your mother, and your mother also said that I will wait for me to marry her, and I will go out to continue doing business with confidence, thinking that I can marry your mother if I save enough money. But your grandfather was not honest, and not long after I left, he married your mother to the Liu family, just because the Liu family gave more money and shops at that time; By the time I return, your mother will already be the lady of the Liu family. The more Fang Yuan spoke, the more excited he became, and he kept knocking on the ground with his cane, and tears kept flowing out.
