Chapter 15: Castle of the Wind
Wang Yuan looked at this house with nostalgia, this was the first place she saw when she opened her eyes.
Wang Yuan clasped her hands together in front of her face and slowly closed her smart eyes.
She is very grateful to God for giving her a chance to start over.
She now has cute little buns.
And the lovely sister.
And Xuan... Stop, stop.
Wang Yuan stretched out her hand to interrupt the figure that came to her mind.
It was time to leave, Wang Yuan took the clothes she bought before, and some medicinal herbs, and earned money with her.
Wang Yuan gave Aunt Li some things that she couldn't take away, and Aunt Li usually took good care of her.
After saying goodbye to Aunt Li, the three of them carried three small burdens and got into Uncle Niu's ox cart.
"Goodbye, Peach Blossom Village," Wang Yuan said silently to the beautiful Peach Blossom Village.
The three of them snuggled up to each other.
Here at this time.
Chen Zhong aggressively took a group of scoundrels to Wang Yuan's house, intending to give her a good look.
But the building was empty, leaving only the angry Chen Zhong and a bunch of scoundrels.
In a room in a quaint setting.
"They failed again," the man said, hunching over.
"Hmph, I knew they would fail, I had failed such a good opportunity before, how could I have beaten my good big brother" The man with a pair of fox eyes said slowly with a hint of lingeringness.
The man below kept his head down and remained silent.
"It looks like my good big brother is coming back, remember to dispose of the evidence" He slowly closed his eyes, not knowing what he was pondering.
At this time, Xuanyuan, who was in Aofeng Castle, didn't know about Wang Yuan's departure.
"Ah Ming, your kid is finally back" Shangguan Li smiled and slapped him with his elbow, and his heart was also relieved.
The deep and cold aura on Xuanyuan Ming's body couldn't help but ease in front of his good brother.
He looked at Shangguan Li with warmth in his eyes, and said with a smile, "I'm fine" He briefly talked about the situation these days, and for some reason he brushed aside Wang Yuan's matter.
"Ah Li, what did you find out?" he asked abruptly changing the subject and cutting to the chase.
Shangguan Li's delicate and gentle face also became serious, "I'm sending someone to find it now, I believe there will be news soon."
Shangguan Li reported all the recent news of Aofeng Castle to Xuanyuan Ming.
There was no big problem, Xuanyuan Ming's slender fingers slowly knocked on the table, holding the information given to him by Shangguan Li in one hand, and looked at the recent changes in Aofeng Castle seriously.
"Brother Hades, you're back, are you okay?" a weak voice came from the door.
A slender figure walked over.
Shangguan Li heard this voice.
"Sister, you're here" Shangguan Li's mouth was curled with a smile, and he stepped forward to greet him.
The woman shouted at Shangguan Li, brother, and hurriedly walked to Xuanyuan Ming, looking at him with worried eyes, wanting to make contact but not daring.
I care so much about Brother Ming, why can't I accept her, Shangguan Rou looked at Xuanyuan Ming with resentful eyes.
Shangguan Rou was already accustomed to Xuanyuan Ming's cold tone, and she didn't get angry, and continued to speak to Xuanyuan Ming.
"Brother Ming, I'll come to see you, are you okay?" Shangguan Rou said in a lingering tone.
Xuanyuan was unmoved, and said coldly, "I'm fine"
Seeing that his sister's eyes became more resentful because of Xuanyuan Ming's answer, Shangguan Li helplessly supported his forehead with his hand.
Hurriedly pulled and wanted to get closer to Xuanyuan Ming, didn't she see the cold air bubbling on Ah Ming's body.
"Brother" Shangguan Rou turned her head and coquettishly to him. I really can't create some opportunities for my sister.
Shangguan Li's eyes couldn't help but look at his lawless sister who was spoiled by him, "Rourou, Ah Ming is fine, don't you think he's good?"
"You go back first, we still have something to discuss" Shangguan Li peeked at Xuanyuan Ming and said softly to her.
"I want to stay and take care of Brother Ming" Shangguan Rou said her purpose, "Brother Ming asked me to stay, I can take care of you" She looked at Xuanyuan Ming affectionately with her eyes shining with water.
However, Xuanyuan Ming was like a blind man, he didn't pity the fragrance and jade at all, and decisively refused her request.
"No"
Shangguan Li hurriedly stopped his sister and persuaded her away in a good voice.
He was quite happy to see his sister and Ah Ming do good things before, but Ah Ming didn't have any thoughts about his sister, so he gave up, but Rourou was desperate to recognize Ah Ming and didn't listen to any persuasion. He was also quite helpless.
Shangguan Li gave Xuanyuan Ming an apologetic look.
Xuanyuan Ming understood Shangguan Li's eyes, he knew Shangguan Rou's feelings for him in his heart, but there were no ripples in his heart.
After the death of his parents, he saw too many people with sinister hearts.
At the beginning, he had just taken over Aofeng Castle, and someone gave him a bright and beautiful woman in order to deal with him, and he was too sinister at that time, and he almost died at the hands of that woman. That incident left a shadow on his heart.
After that, he was untouched by all the women. Very disgusted by their proximity.
But there will always be exceptions, and he has no objection to them.
Xuanyuan Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and Wang Yuan's smart and clear eyes couldn't help but appear in his mind. My heart seemed to be touched, and there were ripples.
She was the first to approach him and make him not offensive. The corners of Xuanyuan's mouth were slightly hooked.
"Ah Ming, what do you want" Shangguan Li asked curiously, he turned his head, and found that Xuanyuan Ming's expression was a little wrong.
Shangguan Li was very interested, who made Ah Ming show such an expression, this was something that had never happened before.
Seeing Shangguan Li looking at him with a smile, he didn't want to satisfy his curiosity.
Turned his head and replied, "No, you read it wrong"
Hearing his answer, the corners of Shangguan Li's mouth stiffened slightly.
"Big brother, you're back" another excited voice came.
Okay, here comes another one, Shangguan covered his forehead.
"Ah Ming, I'll go first" He wanted to quickly find out who wanted to hurt Ah Ming, and he would definitely not let that person go.
Shangguan Li's hand clenched tightly.
After Xuanyuan nodded, he walked out.
Xuanyuan Zhi, who happened to meet at the gate with a worry, walked in, his gentle expression remained unchanged, nodded at him, and glanced at Xuanyuan Zhi, the concerned expression on Xuanyuan Zhi's face did not seem to be fake. Shangguan Li's eyes narrowed, and he walked away.
After saying hello to Shangguan Li with a smile, Xuanyuan Zhi turned his head and glanced sideways at Shangguan Li's back, and walked to Xuanyuan Ming with a smile on his face.
"Big brother, you're finally back, are you okay?" asked Xuanyuan Zhi with concern on his face, his eyes kept looking at his eldest brother, as if he was checking that he was injured. His eyes narrowed slightly, and when Xuanyuan Ming looked at him, he had a smile on his face again, and with the smiling fox eyes, he looked like a harmless little animal.
"I'm fine" didn't want him to worry, Xuanyuan Ming solemnly returned, his tone was still as cold as ever, even if he wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't say anything soft because of his cold nature.
Xuanyuan Zhi seemed to know his character and did not complain
"Big brother, what happened to you in the past few months, who wants to harm you" Xuanyuan Zhi looked at him with curiosity, as if he was very interested, the information he got before was that he was in a small village, and was rescued by a village woman, Xuanyuan Zhi's narrow eyes flashed a ghostly light.
Because Xuanyuan Zhi's words were thinking of Wang Yuan's Xuanyuan Ming, he didn't notice it.
"Big brother, big brother, what's wrong with you" Who was his good big brother thinking, and smiled with fox-like eyes.
"It's okay" Xuanyuan Ming didn't want to discuss this topic, so he changed the topic, "Second brother, are there any problems with some industries such as restaurants and teahouses that you have been managing recently?"
He glanced at his brother below.
Knowing that he didn't want to answer, Xuanyuan Zhi didn't continue to ask.
"Big brother, everything is fine on my side, it's all some small problems, I can solve them myself" Xuanyuan Zhi sat on the chair at the bottom and faced his eldest brother respectfully.
He reported everything about these days, but it was not known if it was not true, only he knew it.
After listening to Xuanyuan Zhi idle for a while, Xuanyuan Ming looked up and found that the sky was already dark.
The calm voice of the "butler" sounded.
The butler of the "castle master" walked in with anxious steps, and bowed slightly.
He had already wanted to remind the castle lord that it was time to eat, but he didn't dare to disturb the castle owner.
"Open the meal" is a simple and clear command.
The lord of my castle has been hungry and thin these days, and the housekeeper looked at him with tears in his eyes.
Forehead......
Seeing that his castle master seemed to have gained some weight, the expression on the butler's face converged.
"Okay, the castle lord I have already asked someone to go down to Zhang Luo" The housekeeper replied respectfully, the castle master came back safely, he must make up for it, the housekeeper quickly went to the kitchen and ordered.
Under the butler's guidance, a table of sumptuous dishes has been served.
Xuanyuan Ming reached out and took a dish in front of him and tasted it. His eyebrows twitched, the taste of this dish had not changed, but he felt that it was not as delicious as before.
He inexplicably remembered the woman's craftsmanship, it was really delicious, and he didn't know what happened to her now, he paused for a moment, and continued to eat.
Xuanyuan Zhi, who had been paying attention to him, noticed that something was wrong with him, and he paused when he stretched out his hand, he should find out what happened to me Ah good brother these days.
Xuanyuan Zhi's face was not obvious, he smiled and served vegetables to his eldest brother, and kept talking in his ear.
The meal ended in the case of two people with different minds.
