It was already evening of the next day when Chen Yan and his friends arrived at Baifeng City.
As soon as they entered Baifeng City, they headed straight to the Hu family without stopping.
The head of the Hu family and others had already been waiting outside the door.
At this moment, passersby saw this scene and couldn't help but reveal their astonishment. They secretly speculated: Is the Hu family welcoming some distinguished guest? They actually asked the Hu family master to wait outside the door to greet him personally!
As the overlord of Baifeng City, the Hu family held a prominent position, and normally people would come to visit them. But today, the head of the Hu family stood at the door, waiting respectfully, which made them curious...
Soon, everyone saw several young men and women walking quickly up the steps outside the Hu family's door.
The head of the Hu family's eyes instantly locked onto the girl in purple. He took a step forward and walked quickly towards her. Just as he was about to salute her with both hands, he was stopped by an invisible spiritual power.
"Chen Yan, hello to the head of the Hu family." Chen Yan bowed to him and nodded slightly.
Upon seeing this, the head of the Hu family dared not put on airs and immediately raised his hand enthusiastically, welcoming Chen Yan and his party into the mansion.
“Miss Shen, please.”
Chen Yan nodded politely. When she and her friends were about to enter the Hu family, a familiar young man's voice came from the front.
"Chen Yan!"
Looking up, she saw a young blond boy waving at her with a bright face.
Chen Yan recognized the young boy's identity. He was none other than Hu Peiguang, the young master of the Hu family.
Chen Yan greeted him with a smile and continued to walk into the mansion, while the head of the Hu family followed her.
As they walked, Chen Yan lowered her voice and asked, "Haven't you found Ah Huai yet?"
The head of the Hu family said seriously, "No, but bloodstains left by Master Shen were found in a forest a few hundred miles away. It is said that there was a stranger there at the time, but he escaped before our people could capture him."
"Blood?" Chen Yan paused and looked at the head of the Hu family with a frown.
When the Hu family master was stared at by her, he actually felt the oppression from the superior.
"Yes, I guess he is injured."
Chen Yan lowered her eyes, hiding the worry in them. She took a deep breath and asked, "Master Hu, do you know why he left the Hu family?"
Upon hearing this, the head of the Hu family showed a look of regret and shook his head.
“Miss Shen, I don’t know either.”
Chen Yan was silent for a moment, then looked at the Hu family master and said, "Hu family master, I haven't thanked you yet. Thank you for taking care of my brother for so long. I have caused you a lot of trouble."
"Miss Chen, it's too formal to say that." said the head of the Hu family.
Their master has ordered that from now on, the Hu family must obey Miss Shen's orders. Therefore, taking care of Mr. Shen, such a small thing, is really not worth Miss Shen's thanks.
Chen Yan said, "Master Hu, I want to go and see the room he lived in."
"Okay, Miss Chen, I'll take you there right away." The head of the Hu family agreed.
Just as they were heading towards Shen Huai's residence, Hu Peiguang ran over and squeezed in among his friends.
"Chen Yan, as your friend, I have to say a few words to you. You weren't at all enthusiastic when you saw me! And you guys weren't enthusiastic towards me either. During the past half month you've been staying at the Hu family, who took you out to play? Who took you to taste delicious food? Who took you to... oh my... it hurts!"
The head of the Hu family couldn't stand it anymore when he saw his son being so rude. His face darkened and he reached out to grab Hu Peiguang's ear.
"You are so ignorant and have no manners at all!" he lectured sternly.
Hu Peiguang grimaced in pain and quickly pushed his father's hand away, begging for mercy: "Dad, be gentle, my ear is going to fall off!"
Seeing this, Zhuge Youlin burst into laughter.
The next moment, Jiang Xianyue glared at him.
Zhuge Youlin: “…” He dared not laugh.
The head of the Hu family looked at Chen Yan and smiled awkwardly: "Miss Chen, this little brat of mine is ignorant, please don't take it to heart."
Chen Yan shook her head, "No, he is my friend."
When the head of the Hu family heard this, he was slightly stunned.
He was suddenly filled with joy and squeezed Hu Peiguang's hand even harder, causing Hu Peiguang to scream in pain, as if he was going to mutate.
"father!!!"
The head of the Hu family was suddenly startled and quickly let go of his hand.
Hu Peiguang burst into tears, feeling wronged. He yelled at the top of his lungs, "Dad, are you going to kill me?"
The head of the Hu family originally still felt a little guilty, but when he suddenly saw him crying, his face suddenly darkened and he spoke in a stern tone.
"Why are you crying, man?"
Hu Peiguang sobbed in grievance after being scolded like this.
"Master Hu." Chen Yan called out when he saw this.
The head of the Hu family turned around and sighed, "Miss Shen, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Chen Yan said for Hu Peiguang: "Peiguang is a true man of character, so Master Hu doesn't need to be too harsh on him."
Hearing this, the head of the Hu family responded with a smile, and the anger in his heart disappeared. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel extremely happy. It was his honor that his brat could be friends with Miss Shen.
Hu Peiguang came up to Jiang Xianyue and looked at her eagerly: "Yueyue, please help me take a look at my ear. It hurts."
Jiang Xianyue nodded.
"Let me help you take a look!" A trace of displeasure flashed through Zhuge Youlin's mind.
Hu Peiguang glanced at him and snorted coldly: "No, you are not a doctor!"
Zhuge Youlin choked: "..."
Why does he feel so aggrieved? !
…
The courtyard where Shen Huai lived in the Hu family was called Liangyi Courtyard.
When Chen Yan entered Liangyiyuan, he found that the environment here was beautiful, clean and tidy, and the air was filled with the smell of herbs.
She looked at everything here, thoughtfully.
She turned to Patriarch Hu and her friends and said, "I want to take a look around here by myself."
The friends looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Master Hu: "Okay."
Afterwards, they all withdrew from Liangyiyuan.
She pushed open the door and walked into Shen Huai's room, a faint smell of medicine hitting her face.
The room was clean and tidy.
Her eyes scanned every corner of the room.
Past memories emerged in her mind. She vaguely remembered that Shen Huai actually had the habit of hiding things.
She reached out and touched all the tables and chairs in the room, but found nothing unusual.
Finally, her gaze settled on the bed not far away.
Her eyes were slightly deep.
Finally, she felt an uneven spot at the foot of the bed. She pried open the wooden block and saw a folded piece of paper in the depression.
She took out the paper and opened it slowly.
What caught my eye were lines of crooked words:
Sister, I'm sorry.
After I was rescued, I was wondering, when can I see you again? Because... I really want to see you.
But gradually, I discovered that something was wrong with my body, a problem that even the doctors couldn't find. The closer it got to the time for my blood to be drawn, the more painful it became.
Sometimes I feel like I have lost my soul due to the pain.
until--
Two months ago, I had a bizarre nightmare.
