After all, they were a couple. Seeing Xiao Tongwen like this, Hongyun couldn't help but ask with concern.
"The Xiao family..." Xiao Tongwen only said two words, and then he sighed again, and then paused again. After a while, he slowly spoke again, and the words he said were different from before.

"Today, I received a letter from my second brother."
"Isn't that a good thing? Why is the master like this..."
There was another long silence, and just when Wan Qing almost thought everyone inside was asleep, Xiao Tongwen suddenly spoke again, "The second brother and sister-in-law... something happened."
"Something happened? What happened?"
"I don't know. My second brother went to Shuanglong City to see a doctor for someone, but there has been no news for so long. Today, the news suddenly came, with only a few simple words, asking me to take good care of Luo Ying and Luo Hua. The tone sounded...
..." Xiao Tongwen was silent for a long time, and after a while he said quietly as if he was dreaming: "That tone doesn't sound like a letter from home, it sounds like...a suicide note."
The red clouds in the room and the evening sky outside the window exclaimed at the same time.
"How could it be possible? Didn't the master see it wrong?"
"Maybe!" Xiao Tongwen sighed softly again.
After that, no words were heard in the room, but Xiao Tongwen kept sighing and sighing that night.
Before Wan Qing returned to her room, she went to the small building again. Although it was already midnight, Qin'er still hadn't slept yet.
Also, it's hard for people to sleep when their feet are tied up like that.
She just didn't understand why Qin'er could still hold back her moans and whines despite suffering so much pain at such a young age, but she didn't ask anyone to untie her.
"Miss, if it hurts, just shout out and it won't hurt anymore." It was Xiaoqiu's voice.
"Miss, miss, the medicine is here." Xiaodong slowly walked in from outside, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand.
"That's great, miss, drink it quickly."
Qin'er sat up and drank the medicine in one breath. Then she fell down on the bed, hugging her feet with her hands, curling up, and kept moaning.
"Miss, how do you feel?"
"It's better." Qin'er's voice was weak.
"Great, it seems that the medicine given by the eldest lady is still effective."
Wan Qing outside raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that the relationship between Luo Ying and Qin'er was good!
Looking inside again, he saw that Qin'er seemed to be sleeping. He guessed that the medicine was either for pain relief or for sleeping, so he didn't care and turned around to leave.
Returning to her room, Wan Qing couldn't help but wonder, where exactly is Double Dragon City? What could happen to Xiao Tongwu? Why would he send something like a suicide note home?

The most important thing is Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing is also in Shuanglong City! What will happen to him?
It was another deep night, and the next day it was still dark, so Wanqing woke up early. The sky was a bit gloomy, and the wind was bone-chilling. The snow from the previous two snows melted a little and turned into ice, making it always slippery when walking on it.
Wan Qing climbed over the wall and ran out, running randomly around some roads that she had never walked before, and finally ran to an unknown river. It was rare that in such a lively and prosperous city, especially in Beicheng, there was still such a thing.
There will be such a large open area with no people or houses.
After running around the strange island-like forest surrounded by a small river, Wan Qing made sure that there was no one there, so she stopped and took out the wooden splinters and started playing by the river.
I did it three times in a row until I knew it by heart, then I stopped and ran back again.
Back to Xiao Mansion, it was just breakfast time.
Wan Qing, who was sweating all over, naturally took a shower first. Although the maids were wondering when the young lady had started this habit, no one dared to ask a question, so they just prepared hot water.
The people Hong Yun chose to serve Wan Qing were all well-behaved and obedient, and some were even timid. In short, no one was allowed to bully Wan Qing.
Therefore, in the courtyard, Wan Qing said whatever she said, and no one ever dared to ask a question.
Although this is very comfortable, it is also a bit boring. These maids and women are human beings after all. There is almost no interaction between master and servant, let alone the possibility of developing any master-servant relationship.
Fortunately, Wan Qing didn't have the time to think about it now. The most important thing was that she could see it too clearly. Her body was only seven years old now, but she was eight years old, but those maids, the youngest of whom were fifteen, were different from them.
, so what?
After breakfast, Wan Qing went to Hongyun's yard. Xiao Tongwen had already left. Hongyun's face was filled with worry and looked even uglier than yesterday.
"Mother." Is there anything worse?
"Wanqing is here, have you had breakfast?" Her voice was also a little weak.
"..." Wan Qing didn't know what to say, so she just walked over, snuggled into her arms, and patted her slowly, just like when she was a child, she would coax her to sleep.
Misfortune never comes alone (4)
She wanted to ask, wanted to say, but what could a seven-year-old girl say? All she could do was stay with her and tease her into talking about happy things.
Then, Hongyun's face looked like the weather outside, which was sometimes cloudy and gloomy, but there was no sunshine. It made people feel depressed.
Wan Qing looked at the sky outside from time to time, and felt that she believed what Xiao Tongwen said before. Something might really have happened to Xiao Tongwu's family, and it was a big deal.
At noon, the clouds finally dispersed a little, and a little bit of sunshine shone into the yard. Wan Qing felt relieved and took Hongyun Izuyun to bask in the sun to make her mood feel better.
But God seems to have destined that this year, he will only seek to make the Xiao family unhappy and not make them too happy.
In the afternoon, just as Wan Qing was about to persuade Hongyun to take a nap, the old man of the Xiao family, the old lady and the third-bedroom wife and son-in-law came through the door with great fanfare. They couldn't even stop her.
