Speaking of this, Xiao Yiran seemed to have lingering palpitations: "Yes." Not long after the daughter got into the carriage, a black-scarfed and masked killer suddenly flew over and killed everyone who was with him. If it weren't for the appearance of the people from the Zhenguo Mansion, my daughter must have died under the killer's sword. ”

Hearing her narration, Xiao Zhiyuan's face also became solemn, and it was not a glorious thing for him that Miss Yan of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion would be intercepted and killed by a killer. Before he returned, many officials had asked him about it, both openly and covertly.

"Did the man say why he killed you?"

"Nope." Xiao Yiran shook her head, she didn't plan to tell Xiao Zhiyuan everything, she avenged her own revenge and didn't need the intervention of others.

Xiao Zhiyuan wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered: "It's a pity that the killer escaped, otherwise it is possible to find some clues." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yiran's heart moved, he obviously killed that person, but why did Xiao Zhiyuan not find his body at the scene? Could it be that someone is dealing with the aftermath?

"Since there is no way to pursue it, then this matter will be stopped, fortunately, there is not much loss. You can rest assured, as long as you are in the house, then this kind of thing will not happen again. Xiao Zhiyuan stopped thinking about it, and instead came to comfort Xiao Yiran.

However, his comfort did not make Xiao Yiran feel at ease, but suddenly became cold. I didn't expect to protect the lives of my mother-in-law so much, but in the end, it was a fluttering sentence in Xiao Zhiyuan's mouth, "There is not too much loss." ”

He continued: "As for the Zhenguo Mansion saving you, you must not be cold, you should have time to walk around with Miss Murong more." ”

Xiao Yiran said: "But my daughter heard that Miss Murong has always disliked to associate with many people, and if she rashly shows goodwill, I am afraid it will annoy her." ”

Xiao Zhiyuan groaned: "It's not strange that there are many people, when you bring more thanks, Miss Murong is not the kind of person who is not close to people." ”

It seems that Xiao Zhiyuan is determined to climb the big tree of the Zhenguo Mansion through her! Xiao Yiran sneered in his heart.

"I just saw that you seem to be proficient in medicine?"

"My daughter once met a master of medical skills in the suburbs, and she was fortunate to be taught some medical science, but she was not proficient." Xiao is also modest.

As it turned out, Xiao Zhiyuan's doubts gradually disappeared: "Then do you know who his surname is?" Where do you live? ”

Xiao Yiran shook his head: "He traveled all over the world as early as three years ago, and his whereabouts and names were never revealed to his daughter. ”

Seeing that the disappointment and nostalgia in her eyebrows did not look like a fake, Xiao Zhiyuan finally believed it completely, and he was a little surprised that his daughter's luck was really good, and she had frequent adventures. No wonder she looked a little cowardly, but she was not as vulgar as an ordinary village girl, who was taught when she was a child. That's fine.

Xiao Zhiyuan touched his beard: "Although you know this, the most important thing in a family like you is etiquette." Later, I'll ask your mother to find you a gentleman. ”

"Yes." Xiao Yiran lowered his eyebrows and responded.

Xiao Zhiyuan was even more satisfied. Since there was nothing to do, he didn't want to stay long, so he got up and said, "I still have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you." As he spoke, he patted her on the shoulder.

"Father walks slowly."

Seeing Xiao Zhiyuan's figure disappear at the door, Xiao Yiran slowly stood up straight, and casually dusted off the clothes he had just touched, without hiding his disgust.

"Miss, are you alright? When Aunt Liu took the sixth young master out, she frightened the slave maid, and the slave maid thought something had happened to you? Xianglan saw that everyone was gone, and immediately ran over and said anxiously.

"You're so unconfident in your young lady?" Xiao Yiran nodded her head with a smile, "Don't worry, Aunt Liu and Xiao Zichuan can go out in a good way, and I will intercede for them." ”

Xianglan covered her head, her eyes widened, and she stomped her feet anxiously: "Miss, Aunt Liu is harming you, how can you intercede for her?" She should be punished well. After speaking, she realized that her words were not what she should say as a slave, so she quickly covered her mouth.

"I did this, so I can be regarded as fulfilling Xiao Zhiyuan's wishes." Xiao Yiran tugged at the corners of his mouth and continued: "Didn't you see it? Today's matter, Xiao Zhiyuan is obviously biased towards Aunt Liu. ”

Xianglan had long been stunned by her name of Xiao Zhiyuan, and when she heard Xiao Yiran ask her, she subconsciously shook her head.

"When I said that I knew medical skills and accused Xiao Zichuan of a strangulation on his arm, Xiao Zhiyuan still found a doctor, which shows that he doesn't trust me at all, but prefers Aunt Liu's statement and thinks I'm talking nonsense."

"It wasn't until Dr. Wu came and made it clear that Xiao Zichuan was indeed pinched on his arm, and the first thing he was angry about was not that I was framed, but that he himself was deceived by Aunt Liu. So I guess even if I don't intercede, he won't punish them heavily. ”

Xiao Yiran was completely disappointed in this father today, and sure enough, Xiao Zhiyuan only used her, without the slightest father-daughter affection.

"How can the lord do this to you, Miss? You're his daughter too! Xianglan saw Xiao Yiran's indifferent face, she suddenly felt sad and distressed, what did Miss go through to be indifferent to her biological father's partiality!

"Seeing that I am so unfavored, do you regret following me?" Xiao Yiran said.

"No, the slave doesn't regret it." Xianglan shook her head busily and said firmly: "The slave will always follow Miss." ”

Xiao Yiran smiled with relief and rubbed the little girl's hair.

Xiao Zhiyuan's speed was very fast, and the next day, Bai Huaping sent someone to bring a teaching grandmother to teach Xiao Yiran etiquette rules. That grandma is very capable, and she teaches very seriously, although Xiao Yiran is a little tired of learning, but she has also made great progress, and she will soon learn seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and she will look like it.

Although Bai Huaping hoped that she would not be ashamed to go out, lest others say that she was a stepmother who had no way to teach, she was not happy that she was too good at learning and pressed down her two children, so after about two weeks, when Xiao Yiran had almost learned, he sent her teaching mother away.

On this day, after Xiao Yiran finished asking for peace as usual, Bai Huaping suddenly left her alone.

"I wonder what's going on with my mother?" Xiao Yiran sat on the stool and lowered his eyebrows and said.

Bai Huaping looked at her quietly for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Yesterday, the people from the Zhenguo Mansion sent a post, saying that Miss Murong was going to invite all the ladies in the mansion to be guests. ”

"Really?" Xiao Yiran pretended to be surprised, but she knew in her heart: I thought that the matter she asked Murong to investigate last time had already come to fruition.

"Of course, Mother can still lie to you." Bai Huaping said: "You are the same child, since you are in love with Miss Murong, you should tell your mother, why are you still hiding it?" ”

The Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion has never had any dealings with the Zhenguo Mansion, so the ladies of the two mansions are only a few sides of each other's fate, and they have never feasted on each other. But after Xiao Yiran came back, this post was sent, although it only said that it was to invite Miss Zhongyong Houfu to go, but everyone knew who this Miss was referring to.

"Mother, where do you start? It's true that I'm not very familiar with Miss Murong! Xiao was also surprised. The matter of her friendship with Murong Liang must not be discovered by the Xiao family now, otherwise, with the temperament of Xiao Zhiyuan and his wife, she must not be used to directly paste the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion?

"Unfamiliar?" Bai Huaping also wondered, could it be that he was thinking too much?

"Hmm. It's just a matter of saying a few words to Miss Murong. ”

Odd? Then how could Murong Liang suddenly think of their Zhongyong Marquis Mansion for no reason? Bai Huaping looked puzzled, but at the same time he was relieved.

Some time ago, Xiao Zhiyuan mentioned to her that she wanted Xiao Yiran to be friendly with Murong Liang, she was a little unhappy at the time, and it was even more uncomfortable to see the post yesterday. If Xiao Yiran really climbed the big tree of the Guogong Mansion, it would be equivalent to leaning on the queen, and she didn't want Chu Rou's slut's daughter to get this advantage.

Thinking of this, the expression on Bai Huaping's face softened: "So that's the case." But even if you are not specifically invited, you can go with you tomorrow and see the world. I'll let your big sister and second sister take you. ”

"Yes." Xiao Yiran nodded and retreated with her wave.
