The eyebrows and eyebrows that were tense due to the scar on Zhong Li's arm began to relax.
Zhong Li paused and said word by word: "Borrowed it from a friend..."
Although it was very difficult to speak, it still made the old man excited and panicked.
"Xiao Li, you...are you willing to talk?"
Zhong Li nodded.
The original person has not spoken for a long time, so there will definitely be some language barriers.
She couldn't continue her life in the same way as her original body, so she had to do this.
Mr. Zhong had not heard his little granddaughter's voice for a long time, and tears of joy flowed from the corners of his eyes.
The housekeeper was also surprised, but he still restrained himself from appeasing the old man.
"Old man, it's a good thing that the young lady is talking. We should be happy."
Even so, he cried with joy.
"I'll go back to my room first."
Zhong Li was a little embarrassed and crossed the two of them to go upstairs, but stopped because of the old man's question.
"Xiao Li, when did you meet the friend you mentioned?"
Zhong Li had always been withdrawn, so he felt something was wrong when he sent him a message. He didn't dare to ask more questions, thinking that his granddaughter had been kidnapped, so he sent people nearby to follow her secretly.
Fortunately, we had a safe journey home.
But how can a person who can't express his feelings even to his relatives suddenly have friends?
"Today," Zhong Li said honestly.
"Today?!" The old man's heart was in his throat again.
At the risk of his granddaughter losing her temper, he was about to ask more questions when the bodyguards hurriedly came outside the room.
"Master, there is someone at the door looking for a young lady."
A tense and serious atmosphere suddenly filled the air.
Mr. Zhong looked at the housekeeper and said, "Go out and take a look."
…
"Why are you following my little brother here?" Jing Qingye, who was holding a black umbrella, curled her lips in disgust.
The man fastened the slightly scattered buttons, and the smile on his lips showed a bit of cynicism.
"Don't you think he's interesting?"
Jing Qing's hands suddenly trembled, and he could read a hint of danger in his smile.
The door opened and the housekeeper came out and saw the siblings. The nobility exuding from them could not be ignored.
His eyes suddenly widened, and he felt relieved.
Even though my old man has lived in seclusion for many years, he knows these two people.
The fifth-ranked young lady of the Jing family, Jing Qingye.
There is also the seventh-ranked direct young master, Jing Yuchen.
The Zhong family was also a famous family back then, ranking among the nine major families in China, so they naturally had a certain understanding of the Jing family, which was in the same status.
Hearing that this man had a domineering temper, the Jing family sent him to a branch in Haicheng to sharpen his temper.
The two families have never had much contact, so why are they here now?
I was puzzled in my heart, but I still kept my posture straight.
"Miss Jing, Master Jing, why do you two come to visit?"
The housekeeper had an unrealistic guess in his mind, and he was hoping for a chance, but finally got the answer and his guard was broken.
"Looking for your young master." Jing Yuchen said calmly.
The housekeeper was panicked. Due to the identity of the other party, he had to ask the old man to make a decision, but he couldn't leave them alone and invited them in.
The decoration of the old house is simple, and Mr. Zhong is sitting on the sofa making tea.
The clouds and smoke are lingering above the incense burner, and the body of Zhongli not far away is leaning, showing tranquility.
The Zhong family was also a prominent and famous family at that time, and together with the Jing family, it was among the nine major families in China.
But something happened later.
Something happened to the young master and he became seriously ill. The old man was left alone and gradually faded out of people's sight.
The nine major families also turned into the eight major families.
When Jing Qingye came in, she smelled the faint fragrance in the room. She knew that this fragrance had the effect of calming the mind and improving memory as she was well versed in incense.
