In England, the ancient castle with a history of 100 years or more, from the beginning of its establishment to the present, its owner is only the person of the mysterious family, passed down from generation to generation, and has continued to this day, witnessing the prosperity of the family.

In the same way, in the minds of the family, the castle has always been like a knight, forever guarding everyone in the family.

However, now, the existence of the castle is like a cage for a person.

Zi Sheng, who was secretly called back, has been soft-footed here since that day, obviously he grew up in the ancient castle since he was a child, and followed the deceased old master Zi Mo for decades, the ancient castle has long been a home for him, but it is such a place that he can't take half a step out of here.

The room before the purple stranger has been preserved intact, and there are special people responsible for sorting and cleaning it every day, even if the person is no longer there, but this room is like faith for the entire family, and no one will break and betray their faith.

But since Zisheng came back and was completely softened here, all the cleaning work in this room was taken over by Zisheng alone, and he told everyone not to help.

Although Zisheng is now treated like this by the old stubborn members of the family, in the castle, his prestige still exists, and the servants up and down in the castle, including everything, are all managed by him.

Everyone knew that Zi Sheng had followed the little family master to other places, and now that they saw Zi Sheng come back, everyone was much more relieved, after all, it was still very difficult for them to guard such a big family business.

It's just that everyone feels strange that Zi Sheng has always followed the little family master inch by inch, why is he back now that he doesn't see the little family master? And Zisheng's state is not very good, most of the time he just stays alone in the room of the deceased old master, and he doesn't let anyone approach. So everyone wondered in their hearts: maybe something happened.

Despite this, everyone is still doing their own things seriously, and some things can only be kept in their hearts, in this family, what to say and what not to say, they already know.

Zi Mo's room.

Zi Sheng quietly looked at the two photos placed on the desk, one photo was a photo of Zi Mo and his only daughter, and the other photo was a photo of himself and Zi Mo placed here after Xia Muxi came here for the first time.

Two photos, next to each other.

The two people in the first photo have long since left this world, and even so, Natsuki hopes to be able to be by his grandfather and mother's side in this way.

"Master, Miss, Zisheng is incompetent, I thought that everything was a foregone conclusion, and from now on, Miss Xiao will always guard this family business as the identity of the Zi family, but I didn't expect that now because of my negligence, Miss Xiao is in trouble, but the angry thing is that I can't return to Miss Xiao immediately, and I am trapped here by those old stubborn brothers. Master, isn't Zisheng really incompetent, the status quo is too comfortable to let me down my guard, obviously I have never let this happen, but now..." Zisheng said bitterly to the people in the photo, "Now I don't know if those old stubborns didn't carry me behind my back to do something to hurt the little miss, I don't know if the little miss is afraid, I..."

Knock knock!

Before Zisheng could finish his words, there was a knock on the door of the room.

"What's the matter?" Zisheng immediately calmed down and asked.

"There's a guest coming from outside." The servant outside the door said respectfully.

Guest? No one has come to see him since he was softened here, and who would come at such a time? It can't be those old stubborns, right?

"I see, please wait in the living room first, I'll be there right away."

"Yes."

Outside the door, there was the sound of the maid's footsteps moving away, and Zisheng looked at the photo on the desk.

"Master, I'll go out first." After saying this, Zisheng stopped his gaze on the photo with Xia Muxi again. After a while, he tidied up his outfit and left the room.

And when Zisheng came to the living room, when he saw the man sitting in the living room, he was shocked for a moment, and then immediately returned to his previous appearance.

Zisheng waved his hand at the maid in the living room, and soon, all the servants dispersed, and only he and the man were left in the living room.

"Why did you come here all of a sudden?" Zi Sheng took the initiative to speak first, with politeness and awe in his tone, and he had the same attitude when he followed Zi Mo's side before.

"Why, I haven't seen you for so long, you don't want me to come back and see." The man smiled and said, "But this place really hasn't changed at all, no matter how long it has been, as long as you come back here and see the things here, you will feel as if time has stopped, and it has been stuck in that time, and it has never moved forward." ”

After hearing what the man said, a smile appeared on Zisheng's face, and then he stepped aside, ready to make flower tea for the man himself.

Time really seems to stand still for a while. In the living room, there was no sound other than the necessary sound of making flower tea.

Until Zisheng respectfully placed the brewed flower tea in front of the man, the man picked up the flower tea.

"Zisheng, sure enough, you know best what I want." The refreshing aroma of flower tea lingered on the tip of the man's nose, and the man took a sip of it with great enjoyment, and then his mouth was full of fragrance.

"If you like it, if you like it." Zisheng finally sat down and sat across from the man.

"Counting it, that old guy Zimo has been gone for a long time."

"yes."

"Actually, until now I am still very angry with him, so suddenly I left us behind, and I went alone, this resentment, if I don't talk to him in person for a few days and nights, I really can't swallow it."

"I'm sorry, but I didn't protect the master well, that's why I ······"

"Stop, stop, I don't have any intention to blame you, because that's Zi Mo's own choice, isn't it, in order to protect his only bloodline in this world, even if he doesn't want to die, he won't frown, let alone regret it, he is such a man, obviously omnipotent, as long as he wants to, there is nothing he can't do, but in the end he chose this path for himself. As for us, even if we want to complain about him, we can't help it. The man sighed.

However, at this moment, Zisheng suddenly got up, and then bent down towards the man.

"The master has risked his life for the little lady, so please help me, help the little lady, please!" Zisheng's tone was a little excited, but it was very sincere and serious.

"Zisheng, you and I rarely see this kind of appearance, first raise your head." The man put down the flower tea in his hand, and his somewhat old face was no longer as easy-going as before, but now it became serious.

"Even if it was the funeral of the lord, you who have been living in seclusion in France did not attend, but today you suddenly came here to see me, I know that you must have heard some rumors, so you will come to me to verify something, I, I grew up here since I was a child, although I am not talented, but the lord treats me like his own siblings, so I can swear to God, I can swear to the deceased lord, little miss, she really doesn't know anything, she has only this family in her heart, no two hearts, and will never betray." Zisheng was still bent over, and if he didn't get the man's permission, he would have stayed like this.

"Zisheng, do you trust that female doll so much, no matter what, she is just a child now, and it is easy to be bewitched, especially that person. With my relationship with Zi Mo, plus the female doll is the bloodline that Zi Mo retained with his life, I will also use my strength to protect her, so I promise you, no matter what happens to the female doll in the future, just because she is Zi Mo's granddaughter, I will ensure that she has no worries for the rest of her life. ”

"No one is more suitable to be the head of the Zi family than Miss Xiao, no one can! Even if it's you, it's impossible. "Master, as long as there is any opportunity, I will desperately seize it, even if it angers the man in front of me, even if it takes my life, I will never let go!

"Zisheng, are you overestimating that female doll a little? Although I admit that she is more courageous and intelligent than ordinary girls and even boys, and she has also resolved some crises in the family for a time, this does not mean that she can become a perfect person like Zimo, after all, she is a little girl, can she really protect this huge family business? ”

"Little Miss, she is no longer a child, please don't measure Little Miss's ability by age. After the old man passed away, the little lady was recognized by everyone with her own efforts, not because she was the heir chosen by the master, but because of her ability, you recognized the little lady as the new head of the family, didn't you? Please don't forget that. If you question Miss Xiao now, it is also equivalent to denying yourself who sees Miss Xiao as the new head of the family. ”

"So, are you going to disobey me now?"

"Zisheng doesn't dare, because now you are the only one who can help the little lady get out of trouble."

"I see you're getting bolder!"

"You know very well what the little lady means to the deceased lord and this family, so many years, although you have never instructed the little lady who has been living in seclusion, but I know that you have been silently paying attention to the little miss, what kind of person the little lady is you know better than anyone else, I know that you like this child from the bottom of your heart, if it weren't for this, you wouldn't have come to see me today. So this time, I hope you can replace the deceased lord and use your power to protect the little lady. ”

"Zisheng, you really don't forget to use Zimo to put pressure on me." The man's serious face finally softened, and a smile appeared on his somewhat old face.
