"Honglei, I'm going back to the palace first. I'll go to Xi Mansion to visit you when I have time."
After Ran Yunshang came back to his senses, he reluctantly smiled at Xi Honglei and said softly. Then he turned around, as if he had lost his soul, and walked towards the palace with eyes blank. Xi Honglei couldn't help but
I'm a little worried. The little princess doesn't have anyone to protect her. If an accident happens, won't her head fall off?
So following Ran Yunshang, Xi Honglei escorted her to the vicinity of the imperial city. Seeing Ran Yunshang walk into the city gate with his own eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to walk towards Xi Mansion.
After returning to the mansion, Xi Honglei went to Lin Wanru's residence. After looking around the somewhat simple room, Xi Honglei looked at the woman with a gentle smile in front of him, and an inexplicable emotion gradually arose in his heart.
"Leier, what's wrong?" Lin Wanru reached out and touched Xi Honglei's head, and said with a look of pity, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, Lei'er is fine." Xi Honglei shook his head, took Lin Wanru's hand, looked at the two dazzling scars on Lin Wanru's palm, Xi Honglei frowned and asked: "Mom, are these scars
how come?"
When Lin Wanru heard Xi Honglei's question, she was stunned for a moment. Withdrawing her hand, she shook her head and said, "It's all in the past, so don't mention it."
Xi Honglei looked at Lin Wanru's appearance. After thinking about it for a moment, she guessed a bit. She asked tentatively: "Did Er Niang and the others do it?"
"Don't mention the past." Lin Wanru suddenly smiled softly and hugged Xi Honglei into her arms. She gently patted Xi Honglei's body. Lin Wanru seemed to have let go of everything.
He said slowly: "When you are well, this is the happiest thing in my life. Everything else doesn't matter."
Lin Wanru's attitude of neither fighting nor snatching made Xi Honglei feel a little sad. Thinking about how hard this woman had gone to raise her daughter, she not only had to bear the criticism of others, but also was bullied by Li Guilan and the others. Xi Honglei
Tears burst from her heart, and she had the urge to protect her. Not for anything else, just because Lin Wanru was the first person to care about her after Xi Honglei came to this world, and it made Xi Honglei feel the long-lost family affection.
Although she was no longer the Xihonglei she used to be, she still felt Lin Wanru's reckless kindness.
"Mom, I will let you live a good life, believe me." Xi Honglei slowly sat up straight from Lin Wanru's arms, stared into Lin Wanru's eyes, and vowed: "What should belong to you
, I will help you get it back in equal amounts."
Lin Wanru listened to Xi Honglei's words and smiled happily. She only thought that Xi Honglei was comforting herself, so she nodded and accepted her daughter's hard-won heart. Thinking about Xi Honglei's stupidity before
Looking at the crazy look now, Lin Wanru already feels too contented.
Xi Honglei had dinner with Lin Wanru, and it was not until dark that she returned to her apartment. Lying relaxed on the bed, Xi Honglei tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. So when the door of the room was kicked by Zhu Meiyang,
When she opened it, she was not surprised as Zhu Meiyang expected.
Xi Honglei sat on the bed, looked at Zhu Meiyang's menacing look, raised her lips with a cold smile, and asked: "It's so late, I wonder what the matter is when my second mother comes to see me?"
"I heard that you gave Shopkeeper Liu to..."
"Er Niang is really well-informed. I thought this matter would be hidden for a while." Xi Honglei interrupted Zhu Meiyang and did not let her continue. He tilted his head and Xi Honglei smiled evilly at Zhu Meiyang.
Their eyes met, and they said calmly: "Yes, I found out that he embezzled 10,000 taels of silver from the Xi family. But... Er Niang, why are you so excited?"
Xi Honglei asked Zhu Meiyang thoughtfully. Seeing Zhu Meiyang standing there with a stiff expression, Xi Honglei continued to ask: "Is it possible that you have some relationship with that shopkeeper Liu?"
"You're talking nonsense! How could I have anything to do with him! You little bitch, where did you hear those sarcastic remarks?" Zhu Meiyang quickly cursed guiltily to stop her tears, and warned: "Don't try to wrong me, otherwise I will
I didn’t play with you!”
"Is it unjust?" Xi Honglei stroked her long hair casually, her eyes swept across Zhu Meiyang's face, and she said something that made Zhu Meiyang even more frightened. "I thought Liu Meiyang was afraid.
When a rich man dies, Erniang, you, should be the happiest person. But looking at it now, it doesn’t seem to be the case."
"He, what does his death have to do with me? You are such a mouthful!" Zhu Meiyang still kept her face and tried to calmly talk to Xi Honglei. Her mood was very uneasy and scared. She and Liu
Only a few close friends know about the rich thing. It is impossible for Xi Honglei to know clearly, but what is the meaning of Xi Honglei's words?
"Er Niang, you and I are both our own people, do you still want me to explain it clearly?" Xi Honglei shook his head with a look of embarrassment, then slowly got off the ground, sat down at the table and poured himself a glass of water.
.Looking up at Zhu Meiyang's pale face, she licked her lips with red tears and said words that almost made Zhu Meiyang's heart skip a beat. "I know everything about what happened between you and Liu Fu."
