He helped Mu Yun'an out of the ancestral hall and walked towards Shuiyun Residence.
There was no words all the way until Xiao Chengyi sent Mu Yunan back to Shuiyun Residence before leaving. Mu Yunan stood there and looked at his leaving figure, feeling a little sour in his heart.
Will she and Xiao Chengyi never go back to the past?
Mu Yunan lowered his head and sobbed softly. Yuli hurriedly came out and said: "Miss, you are finally back. You scared me to death. Fortunately, Master Youyi interceded for you, otherwise you would have to stay in the ancestral hall tonight.
"
"Brother Yi is begging for my favor?"
Mu Yunan caught the key point of Yuli's words and looked at her with confusion.
Yuli said: "Yes, Master Yi went to see the old lady when he heard that you were punished. I don't know what he said to the old lady. When he came out, Master Yi asked me to come back and wait for you. I didn't expect that you would really
came back."
Mu Yun'an felt something was wrong. Based on her understanding of her grandmother, her grandmother was not that easy to talk to. How could Xiao Chengyi persuade her grandmother to exempt her from punishment in just a few words?
unless......
Mu Yunan didn't know what she thought of, turned around and ran out, and soon disappeared into the night. She ran back to the ancestral hall and sure enough, she saw Xiao Chengyi kneeling in the ancestral hall.
That tall and straight back stung her heart.
Mu Yun'an ran in and pushed Xiao Chengyi as if to relieve his anger, crying: "Who asked you to kneel here? Who asked you to plead for me? I obviously did something wrong, why do you replace me?
You get punished, you get up, you go back!"
Xiao Chengyi didn't expect that Mu Yun'an would come back. Seeing Mu Yun'an collapse a little, his heart was in confusion: "What are you doing here?"
Mu Yun'an's shoulders couldn't stop trembling: "If I don't come back, are you going to take the punishment for me silently? You are not my biological brother, why are you so nice to me?"
Xiao Chengyi was a little flustered when he saw her crying so hard. He stretched out his hand to wipe her tears and said: "General Mu entrusted you to me to discipline you. You made a mistake and as a master you deserve to be punished. Why are you crying? It's just kneeling in the ancestral hall and it won't be any less.
Meat, look at your potential."
Mu Yun'an slapped his hand away: "I am responsible for what I do alone. I don't need you to help me. You go!"
"Yan Yan."
Xiao Chengyi held her shoulders and sighed: "Don't you want to know why I treat you so well and easily forgive you for what you did before?"
Mu Yun'an gradually stopped crying after hearing these words, and looked at him with blurred vision, feeling both fear and expectation in her heart.
Xiao Chengyi held her face and said: "Maybe you don't remember. Eight years ago, I lived in the capital and almost starved to death on the streets. It was you and your mother who saved me. At that time, you gave me an osmanthus candy and called me
elder brother."
Mu Yun'an was stunned. Her mind was like a blur. She couldn't remember that this happened eight years ago? And she was only six years old eight years ago, which was not the time to remember it.
Xiao Chengyi continued: "Your mother not only gave me clothes to keep out the cold, but also gave me all the money she had. At that time, I asked her how she wanted to repay you?
She said that when I grow up, please help her protect you. I will always remember this sentence. The first time I heard your name was Yan Yan in the General's Mansion, I knew that the person I was looking for was
you.
So no matter what you have done to me, I can forgive you. I said that if you call me brother, I will protect you and be safe for the rest of your life."
