Chapter 314 Can't Keep It Hidden

Chai Laosan's words were like a thunderclap, instantly waking Bei Rong up.

He was in no mood to feel sad at the moment, so he quickly recalled it carefully.

I really didn't notice it just now, but the man's expression did change.

If Anan's uncle really had such a reaction, then he must know Xiangli!

As for why he was unwilling to tell the truth, it was either Xiangli's family or Xiangli's husband's family...

Bei Rong's expression suddenly turned ugly.

No matter which possibility it is, Uncle Anan has already been on guard, and it will be even more difficult to find out any news about Xiangli.

Looks like I still have to follow Uncle Anan.

Only by finding their real village can we really get the news about Xiangli.

Chai Lao Er was no match for him, as he was caught just as he left the house. He had to borrow two top-notch fighters from his second brother.

Bei Rong had an idea in his mind and immediately went back to the house to write a letter to his brother.

The next day, he just gave up and went to the pharmacy for treatment. He didn't ask any unnecessary questions, nor did he ask his men to deliberately get close to Anan Baozhu.

Looks normal.

There's no other way. Except for the girl Baozhu, everyone else in this courtyard is more cunning than the other and very alert.

Yin Huaixi knew the inside story, but she didn't think Beirong would give up easily. But Anan's mother had long passed away, and as long as Li Xiao didn't reveal the information, Beirong wouldn't be able to find out anything useful.

The matter has been exposed on the surface.

The adults no longer mentioned it, but the little girls would discuss it a few words when they were alone.

As the New Year is coming, the temperature on the island has dropped, although it is not very cold. Especially at night, you need to cover yourself with a thin blanket to sleep well.

Today, Anan and Baozhu went to the river to wash the quilts and clothes together.

The two of them were chatting while beating clothes, and before they knew it, they were talking about the young man from Peking University.

According to the story told by the young master from Peking University, he and Xiangli had an everlasting love that lasted till death. Even after being separated for more than ten years, he still missed her and remained chaste for her.

The little girl was moved by this emotion.

Baozhu has said several times in the past two days that she wants to find a man as loyal and righteous as the young master of Peking University.

At first, Anan didn't want to spoil her good sister's mood, so she didn't say anything to spoil her mood. But Baozhu seemed to be a little bit excited and looked like she was longing for such a relationship.

At this, she couldn't help but splash cool water on her sisters.

"Baozhu, do you really think that Mr. Bei is a good person?"

Baozhu was quick to detect that her best friend seemed a little unhappy, so she answered very sincerely: "We have had little contact with each other, so I don't know what kind of person Mr. Bei is. I just envy the relationship between him and Xiangli. Few men at that time could do that."

"What affection? That's just his one-sided statement. No one knows the real situation except him and that Xiangli."

Anan was very sober.

"Master said that he was burned more than ten years ago, and because of some other injuries, he was in a coma for several years, so he missed Xiangli. Let's just assume that this is true. But he and Xiangli had made a vow of eternal love, and he didn't even know her real address."

Baozhu was at a loss.

"He doesn't know because Xiangli didn't tell him. We can't blame him, right?"

"Well... let's assume that if you were talking about marriage with someone, would you not tell him your home address?"

Baozhu shook her head repeatedly.

"That's impossible. If they were dating, the matchmaker would definitely tell the man my home address right away."

"Yes, this is the normal procedure."

Anan pounded his clothes vigorously again.

"The Beigongzi fell in love with Xiangli and said he wanted to marry her. But he didn't even hire a matchmaker. He also said he was injured and unconscious for several years and missed her. Tsk tsk, if he really wanted to marry her, why didn't anyone in his family know about it? If the family didn't know, what about the servants around him?"

If he really loved her, how could he not even let the servants know? After he was injured, no one went to inform the girl.

"Xiangli didn't disappear immediately. She must have waited for him. She didn't give up until she got no more news."

As Anan was talking, he suddenly felt that the story seemed familiar, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"Maybe it was Xiangli that Mr. Bei sneaked out to meet him? That's why the people around him don't know about it."

Anan choked.

"You really know how to make amends for him. Even if it's really as you said, there are all kinds of coincidences. The person you missed can't be found again. After so many years, she has already married someone else. Insisting on finding out about her will only cause trouble for others."

At this point, Anan's voice became a little lower.

"Besides, after all these years, who knows if he is still alive?"

Anan suddenly thought of his mother.

No wonder she felt the story was familiar.

"Baozhu, do you still remember what I told you before, about my mother?"

Baozhu nodded and sat closer to the little sisters.

"Remember, you said your mother met a treacherous man when she went down the mountain, and she was not in good health after giving birth to you, and she died early."

"Yes, my mother met a treacherous man. She waited for two months but got no news, so she returned to the mountain with a big belly."

"She is quite similar to Xiangli, but she is even more miserable than Xiangli. When a woman marries, she really needs to keep her eyes open. Don't listen to sweet words, and look at his inner self for everything. Your parents love you, and they will be the ones checking you out in the future, so just listen to them more."

Baozhu blinked her eyes, wondering why they were talking about her again.

"Anan, you know so much..."

Anan paused and grinned.

"Silly Baozhu, it's not that I know a lot, it's that you know too little."

Then she burst into laughter.

"Well, you said I was stupid!"

Baozhu reacted immediately and rushed over. The two sisters quarreled for a while before continuing to wash clothes.

Anan is stronger, so she is the one who beats the clothes.

As she pounded, the mallet in her hand moved slower and slower.

Suddenly it stopped again.

"Anan, are you tired? Give me a beating."

Anan shook his head, pursed his lips and sat stiffly on the stone.

"Orb..."

"Um?"

"My mother's name is Li Xiang..."

Baozhu didn't understand. She rubbed her clothes while talking.

"Your mother's name is really nice. No, your entire family's surname is nice. It seems like any name you choose is good."

Anan: “…”

After being interrupted by Baozhu, her sadness was alleviated a bit.

Silly Baozhu, what she wanted to say was that her mother's name was Li Xiang, and if it was the other way around...

It’s the fragrant pear they were discussing before!
