Leaving from the Guan Mansion and watching the family cover the door with a cold expression in front of her, Ruoxin sighed slightly in her heart.

For more than five years, Ruoxin would return to Wanchun County every year to visit the Guan family. In the first year, after learning that Guan Jingtian followed her to a ghost city to die, the grief-stricken Mrs. Guan asked her to knock her out of the door with a stick, Ruoxin stopped Bai Rong from stepping forward to protect her, after all, in her heart, she also had deep self-blame and grief for Guan Jingtian's death.

This kind of punishment is considered to be what she deserves, and she has no way to return Guan Jingtian to them, so she can only let them vent the pain and resentment in her heart in this way. She didn't dare to ask for the forgiveness of the Guan family, she just hoped that she could do something to make amends.

When she went back the next year, although the Guan family was slightly reproachful in the face of her, they did not show the same excited and sad behavior as in the first year, and the expression on her face was cold and indifferent, but there was no very sad appearance.

Time can make people forget the pain, but Ruoxin knows that the Guan family loves Guan Jingtian like life, and the pain of losing the only bloodline will not subside for more than ten years, but they don't look like the reaction of people who have lost their beloved son.

This year is the fifth year, and the Guan family's attitude towards her is still the same, but the tone is much more polite than before, she feels a little guilty, but also a little strange.

"Girl." Rouge, who was waiting outside the Guan Mansion, saw Ruoxin come out and came forward to call.

Ruoxin turned around and saw that it was rouge, so she hurriedly walked to her side and helped her, gently stroked her obviously protruding abdomen with her hand, and said, "Why did you come out, what about the others?" ”

After marrying Gu Xingyuan, Rouge still stayed by her side to accompany her, and now she is about to become a mother, and her once cold face is now a little warmer.

"King Yingning also came to Wanchun County, and only then did he send someone to call away Fenghua Gongzi. Bai Rong went with Gu Xing to take care of the accommodation, and I stayed and waited for the girl. ”

Ruoxin nodded and looked behind her, "What about the children?" ”

"It's all there."

Ruoxin looked in the direction of Rouge's finger, and the two children were playing under a big tree not far away.

Ruoxin smiled, and was about to summon them, but her eyes were attracted by a carriage parked in the distance, Zhu Lunhua's carriage looked very gorgeous, and it was also eye-catching in a county like Wanchun County, which was not very large.

But it wasn't the carriage itself that made her look at it, but the mysterious house behind it. That mansion was originally a mansion in Wanchun County, which was bought four years ago, but unfortunately no one knew who the buyer was. The house has no house number, the wall is high and the courtyard is deep, Ruoxin came several times, the door was closed, but today the door is open.

Ruoxin is not a person who likes to explore the truth, and she wanted to call the child back to leave, but she saw someone coming out of the door, it was the Guan family master who Ruoxin didn't see when she went to the Guan family.

Ruoxin suddenly stopped.

Is that house also the property of the Guan family?

After Master Guan came out, he waited by the door, bowing slightly, and the expression on his face looked very respectful.

Guan Pingdong is one of the four major merchants of Dongheng, and his reputation is also extremely high, who does he need to be so respectful? Ruoxin was slightly suspicious, and after a while, a man in a black fashionable cloak walked out of the house.

The slender figure made Ruoxin's heart shake slightly, but she didn't make a sound, just watched quietly.

The brim of the cloak hung low, obscuring half of the man's face, and only his graceful chin and slightly raised thin lips could be seen. Fei's thin lips opened and closed slightly, as if he was talking to Master Guan. Master Guan kept nodding in response, looking very grateful.

When the man had finished speaking, he walked towards the carriage. After taking a few steps, as if sensing Ruoxin's gaze, the man glanced at Ruoxin slightly, and after a moment, he retracted his gaze and got into the gorgeous carriage.

The old man of the Guan family did not see her, and after watching the carriage drift away, he returned to the door, said a few words to the inside, and left in a hurry.

Ruoxin stood still, and Rouge asked softly on the side, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ruoxin came back to her senses, turned her head to look at Rouge, shook her head with a smile and said, "No." ”

She just saw someone she might know.

Maybe...... Acquaintance......

Just then, something flew out of the wall and fell between the tree and the house. Xiao Hua'er, who was playing under the tree, saw it, ran over with some curiosity, squatted down and picked it up, and held it with two small hands.

A little boy of about five years old ran out of the door like a burning butt, clutching a slingshot in his hand, scratching his ears and cheeks as he hurriedly looked around.

Suddenly, he saw Xiao Hua'er not far away, and saw what Xiao Hua'er was holding in his hand, and the little boy immediately jumped up and ran towards him.

He tilted his head and looked at Xiao Hua'er, Xiao Hua'er's beautiful facial features made the little boy stunned, and after coming back to his senses, the little boy shouted in a thick voice: "Hey, return the things to Young Master Ben." ”

Xiao Hua'er raised his head, with a gentle smile on his delicate little face, he raised the jade pendant in his hand and said, "Do you mean this?" ”

Seeing Xiao Hua'er's smile, the little boy pursed his lips a little awkwardly and shouted, "Nonsense." ”

Xiao Hua'er tilted her head slightly and said with a smile: "What evidence do you have to prove that this is yours?" ”

"What evidence?" The little boy was stunned, and said stupidly: "The thing belongs to Young Master Ben, what evidence do you need?" ”

The smile on her lips was cute and pure, Xiao Hua'er shook her head, "I can't hand it over to you without evidence, what if the owner of this thing finds it?" ”

The little boy was stunned, looked around, picked up a broken branch and pointed at Xiao Hua'er, and said loudly: "Hmph, don't think that if you are beautiful, Young Master Ben will not dare to beat you, even if you are a girl, Young Master Ben will be able to beat you correctly." After thinking about it, the little boy added, "But you can consider hitting it lightly." ”

Xiao Hua'er smiled lightly: "I'm a boy." ”

The little boy opened his mouth in surprise, "Liar, who do you think Young Master Ben is?" Is it that easy to deceive? He didn't believe it, and the little boy said as he went to lift Xiao Hua'er's robe.

It's a pity that his hand hasn't touched the corner of the dress, Ning Er, who was originally standing under the tree, suddenly rushed over to protect Xiao Hua'er, and the little boy was hit to the ground by a red shadow before he reacted.

Before he could even cry out in pain, the little boy fell on all fours, disgraced, and the twig in his hand did not know where it had flown to. He looked at Ning Er, who seemed to appear out of thin air, and was speechless for a long time.

"You are not allowed to bully my brother." Ning'er, who was expressionless, looked down at the little boy and said coldly.

The black eyes widened, the little boy looked at Xiao Hua'er for a while, and then at Ning'er, thinking that he couldn't understand the situation in front of him, he pouted, sat there aggrieved and stubborn, his little fist trembled slightly, and he said with a very scared but stiff look: "Don't think that you are afraid of you because the young master has a lot of people." Even if you are girls, this young master will be able to do it. ”

Having said that, the little boy felt that the other party was bullying more and less, and he wanted to cry aggrievedly, but was cheered by Ning'er, "Don't cry, it's noisy." ”

The little boy forcibly held back his tears, he picked up a short small wooden stick and pointed it at them, and complained very imposingly: "You villains, robbed Young Master Ben's family heirloom, and beat Young Master Ben." ”

Seeing that the child had an argument, Ruoxin and Rouge walked in their direction, and the little boy saw Ruoxin and them coming, thinking that he was going to beat him like Ning'er, and finally cried "wow". The little boy threw away the bluffing little stick in his hand, and rushed into the house with a handful of snot and tears.

Ruoxin walked to the two children, and Ning Er turned around and said, "Mother, Ning Er didn't hit him, he hit Ning Er and fell by himself." ”

Ruoxin rubbed Ning'er's head, bowed her head and said to Xiao Hua'er: "Xiao Hua'er, did you bully that little brother first?" ”

"I'm sorry, mother, Hua'er just wanted to tease him because he was so cute." Xiao Hua'er looked down at the "family heirloom" that the little boy said in her hand, she looked a little embarrassed, and held her little hand and handed it to Ruoxin, "Mother, what should I do about this?" ”

Seeing the jade pendant in Xiao Hua'er's hand, Ruoxin was shocked.

Hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and carefully examined the jade pendant, Ruoxin slowly rotated the two sides, and the jade pendant also separated.

Breathing suddenly.

This is...... The jade pendant she gave to Guan Jingtian five years ago.

That little boy is......
