"Time is quiet, with the gentleman, like the flow of water, with the gentleman, prosperous down, with the gentleman. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I only hope that your heart will be like spring, and you will return once a year. ”
Huan Chang, who was already dressed in a new shape, gently rubbed the delicate handwriting on the handkerchief, and whispered in his mouth, but he didn't have the courage to walk towards the Xiao family's compound anyway.
"Ah Yun, I'm really sorry. ”
Looking at the Xiao family's compound from afar, Huan Chang's eyes were a little moist, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally took a deep breath and walked in that direction.
Coming to the gate of the Xiao family's compound and looking at the courtyard with the gate closed, Huan Chang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Calm and concentrating, Huan Chang released his spiritual sense, and the whole picture of the Xiao family's compound suddenly came to mind, but there was no figure of the Xiao family's father and daughter.
The entire Xiao family's compound was empty, and only one old woman took a broom and swept the dust on the ground together.
"How so?"
Seeing this, Huan Chang couldn't help but panic, but quickly comforted himself: "Maybe Uncle and Ah Yun are no longer at home, or have moved out of here. ”
"But the Xiao family's compound is still there, and I should be able to find out about them from that old woman. ”
Thinking of this, Huan Chang immediately began to knock on the door.
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
The knock on the door kept ringing, and the old woman who was cleaning heard the voice, but the old face changed slightly, and her eyes showed a look of horror.
"Why hasn't the door opened yet?"
Huan Chang knocked on the door for a long time and it was never opened, and he couldn't help but have doubts, and immediately stopped talking about any rules, and flew directly into the courtyard.
"Old woman, where is the owner of this house?"
Huan Chang, who suddenly appeared next to the old woman, frightened the old woman so much that her face turned pale, and her body involuntarily retreated to the back.
When the old woman heard Huan Chang's words, she hurriedly shook her head desperately.
"Hmm? Something doesn't seem right. ”
Looking at the frightened look in the old woman's eyes, Huan Chang's bad feeling became stronger and stronger, and he stepped forward to grab the old woman's arm and asked anxiously, "Where are Uncle Xiao and Ah Yun?"
Huan Chang's rude behavior made the old woman's eyes show surprise, and after carefully looking at Huan Chang, the old woman said with some surprise: "You, you are the young master of Huan Chang!"
"You know me?"
Hearing the old woman call out his name, Huan Chang couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face, because he could be sure that he didn't know the old woman in front of him at all.
"Really, it's really Young Master Huan Chang, don't you know how hard Miss has been waiting for you all these years?
From Huan Chang's tone, the old woman had confirmed her guess, but soon her face changed slightly, and she said with some complaints.
The old woman entered the Xiao Mansion relatively late, and Huan Chang had just left at that time, but Xiao Yun missed Huan Chang, so she painted many portraits of Huan Chang.
Therefore, the old woman can naturally recognize Huan Chang.
Hearing the old woman's complaints, Huan Chang's eyes showed a strong look of guilt, but he still asked: "I came back this time to prepare to fulfill my promise to marry Ah Yun." ”
"Can the old woman tell me where Uncle Xiao and Ah Yun are now?"
Huan Chang asked expectantly, but the old woman's face became very difficult to look at.
"Because the master sent troops to exterminate the Juye Gang, those remnants of the Juye Gang had a grudge against the master, and repeatedly sent masters to assassinate the master. ”
"Fortunately, the king sent a master to guard the Xiao Mansion, so that those assassins returned every time. ”
"But just two years ago, a very powerful person entered the Xiao Mansion and killed all the masters who guarded the Xiao Mansion, and even the master was poisoned. ”
"That day, the entire Xiao Mansion was full of blood, and no one in the mansion survived, only I accompanied the young lady out of the city to escape with my life. ”
Huan Chang heard this, but his face turned pale.
He didn't expect that during the time he left, Xiao Qi would be assassinated by the remnants of the Juye Gang, so Xiao Yun's life must not be easy.
Xiao Yun, who lost her father, and Ai Lang was not by her side, Huan Chang was really worried about whether she could get through it.
"So, what about Ah Yun?"
Huan Chang hurriedly asked, with an extremely anxious look in his eyes.
"After the young lady buried the master, she was taken to her aunt's house, and she hasn't come back for two years, but every year she will ask people to give some money to the old woman and let me help take care of the Xiao family's compound. ”
Hearing that Xiao Yun was picked up by her aunt, Huan Changcai breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of Xiao Qi, who had died, he felt that his throat was a little dry.
After asking for Xiao Yun's aunt's address, Huan Chang didn't stop at all, and rushed out of the city.
Spring flowers are blooming, butterflies are dancing.
As far as the eye can see, there are green crops all around, and the peach grove in the east is in full bloom, and the peach blossoms crawling all over the branches look extremely beautiful.
Next to the peach grove, there is a very large estate that looks very imposing from the outside.
In the manor, there are all kinds of pavilions and pavilions, rockeries and flowing water are also quite beautiful, and it can be seen that the owner of this manor is very wealthy.
Huan Chang came to the outside of the manor, looking at the heavily guarded appearance at the door from a distance, but he hesitated.
"I'd better take a sneak look at Ah Yun first, I don't know how she has been over the years, when Ah Yun suddenly saw me, I don't know if it will be full of surprises. ”
Thinking of this, Huan Chang's body quickly hidden, and then flew into the manor.
Although the manor guards have good martial arts, they are nothing at all in Huan Chang's eyes, and no one can find out when they sneak into the manor.
Next to the rockery, by the fountain.
A beautiful woman watched the spring water spill from the air, but there was a resentment in her eyes that could not be resolved.
Beside him, there is also a valuable xylophone.
"Madam, the little master is asleep, let's take him back to the room to rest. ”
Just when the glamorous woman was staring at the fountain in a daze, the maid next to her suddenly said, the woman came back to her senses and bowed slightly, signaling the maid to carry the little master back to the room.
"Madame's health has not been very good since she gave birth to the little master, and it is a little windy outside today, so Madame should go back to the room to rest first." ”
There was also a slightly older mother beside the maid, and when she saw the melancholy on the woman's face, she couldn't help but persuade her.
"Feng Niang, you go back first, I want to stay here for a while, and I want to play the piano again." ”
When Feng Niang and the maid heard this, a look of helplessness flashed in their eyes, but they didn't say anything, and left directly with the infant young master, leaving only the woman here.
A few people didn't notice that in a hidden position in the courtyard, Huan Chang looked at the slightly thin and beautiful woman, but tears couldn't help but flow.
"Five years have passed, and things have been different. ”
Huan Chang's eyes were bloodshot, his nails were deeply sunk into his palms, and even with his current cultivation realm, he couldn't control his mood swings.
