…
Wutong Courtyard.
After Rong Chaoxi pretended to be asleep and tricked Qin Nanjing away, he turned over and lay down, crawled to the foot of the bed in two or three steps, and took out a small box from under the quilt.
Snap——
Rong Chaoxi twisted the lock to open it, and the smell of roast chicken wafted out.
This was something Rong Yuanyou secretly hid for her during lunch.
Smells so good.
The little guy didn't say anything and picked up the chicken leg in one bite.
Chew, chew, chew...
[Third brother is the best, third brother is the best, Chaoxi likes third brother the most...]
Chew, chew, chew...
Suddenly, Rong Chaoxi felt a hint of chaos and stopped flattering his third brother.
[Oh no...her mentality seems to have collapsed...]
【After what she did in the past, shouldn't her state of mind be so weak?】
Rong Chaoxi looked in the direction of Tinglan Garden, scratched the back of his head in confusion, and smeared all the oil stains on his hands on his hair.
[Alas, it's such a hassle to restore her state of mind.]
Rong Chaoxi held the chicken leg in both hands and continued to gnaw on it.
Chew, chew, chew...
Good times, good times.
After a while, only the bones were left of the chicken leg, and the little guy threw the bones into the box.
After searching around for a while but not finding anything to wipe his hands with, he rubbed his stomach repeatedly with both hands and then fell backwards.
…
In the northern territory, thousands of miles of ice and snow are covered.
Amidst the white sky and earth, a dark red figure was slowly moving forward.
The girl hugged her arms, the hair on her face was covered with drops of ice, and the mist she exhaled instantly condensed.
The cold wind howled, and the fog drifted away with the wind. A dark cave entrance appeared at the bottom of the snow-capped mountain and then disappeared without a trace.
The girl rubbed her eyes, and the next moment, the dark cave entrance appeared again.
The girl quickly picked up her robe and ran over there.
After entering the cave, the girl felt her body instantly warm up and her previous fatigue was swept away.
Using the dim light outside, the girl tried to walk inside.
The further you go in, the warmer it gets, until the light behind you disappears and a faint light appears in front of you.
The girl was surprised: Is there anyone else in this place?
She continued to walk in boldly.
In the innermost room, it saw a ball of golden light surrounded by black air, half floating on a circular platform in the center.
Can you vaguely see a person inside?
"Hello...Hello, can I take shelter from the snow here?" the girl asked courageously.
The black-gold man did not respond.
When the girl agreed, she found a corner and sat down.
A moment later, just as the girl was about to close her eyes, the black and golden man moved.
"Little girl, since you have come under my protection, then become my servant and work for me."
Rong Chaoxi narrowed his eyes slightly as he entered the cave following Qianluo's memory.
Fallen Immortal! He actually hid in the mortal world.
Rong Chaoxi pricked up his ears, but could not hear the conversation between Duxian and Qianluo.
Humph! It's probably not a good thing.
It actually blurred her memory.
Rong Chaoxi watched Qianluo leaving the cave.
"No wonder her mind collapsed. It turns out that she still remembered that fallen immortal in her subconscious, which is why she was able to sense my control over her."
"A deal with the devil will eventually backfire."
Rong Chaoxi sighed softly, raised her hand and waved it, covering up her memory.
…
New Year's Eve.
Red window decorations are pasted everywhere, making the place look festive.
The children were wearing new clothes and playing around.
Firecrackers popped in every household.
Rong Chaoxi covered her ears and jumped around in Rong Baichuan's arms, laughing.
"Pa pa pa... bang..." The sound of firecrackers continued to rise in his mouth.
After setting off the firecrackers, the family returned to the house and prepared to go to the Annan Marquis Mansion.
Although I don't want to go, as a descendant, I have to go back on this day and pretend to be close and happy.
"Everything is packed, let's go." Qin Nanjing said.
"Butler Lin, please entertain the distinguished guests at home."
"Yes, ma'am. Will dinner be prepared for you?"
Qin Nanjing looked at Rong Baichuan. She was not sure whether she could come back for dinner.
"Yes, yes..." Rong Chaoxi raised his arm and spoke first.
"Okay, young lady, I'll prepare soft red meat and chicken legs for your dinner." Butler Lin looked at Rong Chaoxi with a smile, knowing her favorite.
"Good..." The little guy clapped his hands happily after hearing this.
The carriage slowly drove to the Annan Marquis Mansion.
The family got out of the car and stood side by side at the door, looking at the plaque in silence for a long time.
"Let's go in." Rong Baichuan took Qin Nanjing's hand and said with a sigh.
As soon as he entered the Annan Marquis Mansion, Rong Baichuan noticed something was wrong.
Although the interior is filled with New Year decorations, it feels dead.
Especially the maids and servants, when a guest came in, there was no one to greet them.
"General?" Butler Chen saw the group in the front yard and hurried over to greet them. "General, you're back! Please come in."
Butler Chen took everyone to the main house of Yihuayuan to wait, and then went to ask the old man and the old lady to come out.
Soon, the old man and the old woman came to the main house.
As soon as he saw the faces of the two old men, Rong Baichuan's expression suddenly became strange.
The expressions of the others were similar.
What have they suffered during this period?
Only Rong Chaoxi smiled as he looked at the two old men who were sitting there with tired expressions and dark circles under their eyes.
"Did you guys... not sleep well last night?" Rong Baichuan spoke to break the silence.
The old man shuddered, glanced at Rong Baichuan dimly, and said in a weary tone, "Butler Chen, it's almost time to prepare for the banquet."
"You guys, look around..."
