It is a desolate place, and the flowers and plants that have long since withered have lost the slightest bit of water, and if you step on it, you will instantly turn into powder.

"Madame, you used to live here?" Xiao Yun looked around in disbelief, and his heart instantly became distressed.

The house in front of me was in tatters, and there were even a few holes, almost the kind that would fall down when the wind blew.

Cheng Shuiyao didn't speak, just stood in place and glanced at the house in front of him, sighed halfway, and walked into the house.

The furnishings in the house were no different from before she left, and the pieces of the tea cup that she had broken when she insisted on not being married were still on the ground, and no one had cleaned them.

Xiaoyun looked around and saw that there was not even a decent bed here, and his eyes were wet unconsciously.

"You girl," Cheng Shuiyao noticed that something was wrong with her, glanced back at her, only to find that she was crying, and hurriedly smiled and relieved, "It's okay, it's all over, and now I'm the general's wife." ”

Xiao Yun nodded heavily, immediately wiped away his tears, and said with a serious face, "Yes, madam, you will never live such a hard life again." ”

Cheng Shuiyao bowed, walked to a dilapidated wardrobe, and took out the jewelry box hidden in the mezzanine.

This gilt jewelry box is extremely incongruous with the whole room, and no one will think that it is Cheng Shuiyao's thing.

Xiaoyun frowned, but as soon as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that it was presumptuous to do so, and immediately took back the words that came to his mouth.

Cheng Shuiyao turned away, and just saw Xiaoyun's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, so he opened his mouth to explain, "This is something that my mother left me, Cheng Yutang and they don't know, so they can save it until this time." ”

Otherwise, the mother and daughter would have been looted.

Cheng Shuiyao didn't say the latter sentence explicitly, but Xiaoyun also guessed it.

Nodding with a complicated face, Xiaoyun took Cheng Shuiyao's hand, couldn't bear to let her touch the scene here, and wanted to take her away.

"Let's go." Cheng Shuiyao did not refuse, and walked away directly.

She came back today to get this jewelry box, and now that she got it, nothing else matters.

After walking out of the courtyard, Cheng Shuiyao didn't even look back and took another look, and walked away directly.

"Where are we going now?" Xiaoyun was not familiar with Chengfu's road, and stood at the fork in the road and spoke in confusion.

"Go to the garden, I don't want to see the mother and daughter right now." Cheng Shuiyao waved his hand and walked onto the road on the right.

Xiao Yun naturally had no objection to this, and followed Cheng Shuiyao to the garden.

Cheng Yutang thinks he is an elegant person, so he is very interested in the flowers in that garden, and he rarely touches them.

Cheng Shuiyao gently stroked a petal with her fingers, laughed at herself, and suddenly said, "Xiaoyun, do you know, when I was young, I accidentally broke a flower and was chased and beaten by Cheng Yutang. ”

When she said this, Cheng Shuiyao's tone was very steady, as if she was saying something ordinary.

But Xiaoyun knew very well that it was obvious that Cheng Shuiyao had been injured and numb, so he could mention this matter so lightly.

didn't know what to say, Xiaoyun could only pat Cheng Shuiyao's arm, which was supposed to be comforting.

Cheng Shuiyao smiled, quickly revealed this unpleasant topic, and began to take Xiaoyun to enjoy the flowers.

The subordinates not far away saw Cheng Shuiyao's fingers touching the fragile flower branch from a long distance, staring at Cheng Shuiyao with a heart, but they didn't dare to go over to stop it.

Now this Dacheng Shuiyao is not the eldest lady who was slaughtered by others in the past, even if he is given 1,800 guts, he will not dare to say a word.

Cheng Shuiyao happened to see the man when she looked back, and after looking him up and down, she withdrew her hand.

Cheng Yutang is not a good person, now he can't do anything to himself, but it doesn't mean that he will let go of a subordinate, although Cheng Shuiyao thinks that he is not good, but he also doesn't want to see an innocent person implicated by himself.

The man exhaled deeply as if relieved, and hurriedly smiled at Cheng Shui Yao.

Cheng Shuiyao smiled and continued to walk around with Xiaoyun.

The extremely fast time that passed on weekdays suddenly slowed down, and Cheng Shuiyao walked through the entire garden quickly, thinking that it was almost noon, but it was only an hour after he didn't think about it.

Okay, you still have to face it.

Reluctantly recognized the reality, Cheng Shuiyao didn't bother to escape, and pulled Xiaoyun back to the front hall.

But the mother and daughter were not there.

Cheng Shuiyao looked at the empty front hall and raised her eyebrows casually, but she was not angry.

If you're not there, you're not there, and she's happy to be idle.

But when she thinks so, others don't necessarily think the same way.

When Xiao Ji hurried from the barracks to Cheng's mansion, he happened to see Cheng Shuiyao sitting alone in the front hall, except for Xiaoyun, there was not even a subordinate who was waiting for tea.

"You're here, and things are going well over there?" When Cheng Shuiyao saw Xiao Ji, her whole expression relaxed a lot, and she hurriedly reached out and poured him a cup of tea.

"You're just sitting here alone?" Xiao Ji took the tea, his expression was much gentler, but his tone was still a little cold.

He guessed that the Cheng family would not treat Cheng Shuiyao well, but he didn't expect the Cheng family to be so blatant, and they were not even willing to cover it up.

"I went out to walk around the garden in front of me," Cheng Shuiyao avoided the light, and did not let Xiao Ji prepare to ask for an explanation for himself.

She came today to stimulate the mastermind behind her, and it doesn't matter whether she deals with the Cheng family or not.

Xiao Ji didn't speak again, just comforted Cheng Shuiyao a few times, lowered his head and drank tea slowly.

If what he expected was right, Cheng Yutang should come over soon.

At the same time, Cheng Yutang, who was sitting in the study, received the news that Xiao Ji had entered the room, and he didn't care about any embarrassment or not, and hurriedly ran to the front hall.

"This official has official business, and he is late, I hope General Xiao doesn't mind."

As soon as Cheng Yutang stepped into the house with half a leg, he couldn't wait to open his mouth.

"Master Cheng is too careful," Xiao Ji raised his head lightly and said expressionlessly, "It should be the wrong time for this official to come." ”

"This ......" Cheng Yutang was stunned by what he said, and he didn't turn around for a while, but just frowned and spoke, "Why did General Xiao say this?" ”

He didn't understand this, but Cheng Shuiyao did.

Cheng Shuiyao grabbed Xiao Ji's hand the moment he spoke, not wanting him to say any more.

But Xiao Ji just patted Cheng Shuiyao's hand, still insisted on his thoughts, and spoke unhurriedly, "Otherwise, why haven't you seen your wife?" ”

This......

Cheng Yutang realized that his wife was not here at all, and secretly cursed in his heart.

This woman is really getting better and worse at doing things, and it's really embarrassing for him to Cheng Fu.
