Zhao Rong was in mixed mood and raised his hand to rub his eyebrows.

However, Qingjun and Xiao Qian'er should have followed him here, and after confirming that he would not leave and go south again, they went back to prepare dinner. Li Bai had told him before that Qingjun and Qian'er had heated up the food three times, so when he was called over by the communication jade gourd, Li Bai should have been waiting for dinner in the yard... Seeing this, Qingjun and Qian'er should have easily guessed the purpose of his calling Li Bai over... It was to send away a little fox demon.

As for why Zhao Rong was so sure that they did not follow him to the top of the Moon-Sacrificing Mountain to catch the moon, it was because the view from the top of the Moon-Sacrificing Mountain was wide, and it was not convenient for Qingjun and Xiao Qian'er to follow and hide. He was also sure that there were no human figures around at that time.

Moreover, Zhao Rong jumped into the Moon Pond that contained heavenly thunder again and again and nearly lost his life. Even a certain venomous sword spirit couldn't stand it anymore, so if they were there, they would most likely show up to stop him.

And when he was honestly confessing at the dinner table just now, Qingjun also asked him if the burnt scars on his body were caused by picking a certain moon before...

After a quick analysis, Zhao Rong stood up and began to wander around the kitchen, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back.

In fact, he still has not come up with a definite answer to the most crucial question.

Judging from Qingjun's performance, she should have known about Xiaoxiao's existence before today, which is why she seemed so... relatively calm and silent.

Zhao Rong frowned and pondered carefully.

Looking back now, I do find that some of the things that happened in the past are worthy of questioning.

Qingjun was the Xiaoxiao that he discovered from his heart.

It was not until later when Xiao Qian'er returned from the trial and he mistook her for Xiao Xiao, and then barely managed to smooth things over by calling her the wrong name, that he realized it.

It was the strange thing that was discovered at the dinner party in Xia Chong Zhai some time ago.

Or maybe... Qingjun had only suspected Xiaoxiao's relationship with him before, but when he was in trouble not long ago, Xiaoqian'er sent a letter to report the disaster, which made Xiaoxiao, the silly girl, lose her composure. Qingjun saw her panic and heartbroken look, and then confirmed...

Zhao Rong thought over and over again and walked back and forth in the kitchen many times until the hot water boiled and steam overflowed, then he came to his senses.

"Hey, this incident... turns out the clown is me."

All the doubts, confusions and melancholy finally turned into a long sigh.

I also feel a little relieved.

In fact, he should have thought of this when he saw the extra set of bowls and chopsticks on the dinner table tonight.

"But..." Zhao Rong stroked his forehead and murmured to himself, "Luckily I mustered up the courage to confess tonight. From now on, these things can no longer be hidden from Qingjun and Qian'er. If we want to unite our family, we must first unite our hearts. Xiaoxiao is right. There was indeed someone who was wrong before... Is there anything that cannot be said between family members, Zhao Ziyu?"

He asked softly, his eyes looking past the curling steam rising from the kettle and staring blankly at the empty kitchen behind him, "Although Qingjun didn't say anything, judging from her reaction and behavior now, she should have decided to accept Xiaoxiao!"

Zhao Rong laughed happily and was completely relieved.

He quickly picked up the teapot, brewed another pot of fragrant hot tea, and ran out of the kitchen with the tea tray in hand...

Just as Zhao Rong was carrying the tea tray and heading back to the main house in a serious manner.

Inside the house, Zhao Lingfei, Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Qian'er were sitting around the table chatting.

"...So, this small bookcase was also bought for you by him?" Xiao Qian'er asked curiously, reaching out to touch the bookcase that Su Xiaoxiao was still carrying on her back.

"Well, that was when we first met. He also had a book box. We carried the book box together and walked through Zhongnan Kingdom, Dawei, and thousands of mountains and rivers, and came to Duyou City..." Su Xiaoxiao said weakly but with bright eyes, "This small book box contained all of Xiaoxiao's belongings. Carrying it on my back, holding Zhao Lang's clothes... That was Xiaoxiao's happiest time, um..."

The little fox demon paused for a moment, raised her head and looked at the two 'sisters' who were smiling at her, and quickly changed her words, "No, no, I am very happy now, too. These are the happiest times... Now is even better. Sister Lingfei finally let me in."

Zhao Lingfei looked at the fox-eyed girl with a timid tone and a flattering expression, reached out and grabbed her little hand that had nowhere to put, and shook her head gently, "Silly sister, there's no need to be like this. Now that you've entered the house, there's no need to be so formal...

"Also... I'm sorry for wronging you."

Before coming to Duyou City, on the road, Zhao Rong was a little fox demon all by herself. All her belongings were in her small bookcase, and holding the hand of Zhao Lang, with whom she was destined to spend her life, was the whole world in her eyes, and it was all in her hands.

After arriving in Duyou City, the little fox demon now has these two sisters in front of her...

Su Xiaoxiao waved her hands and shook her head, "No, no, I'm wronging Sister Lingfei and Sister Qian'er. Zhao Lang just said that I'm wronging you... You've been childhood sweethearts, much earlier than Xiaoxiao, and I'm suddenly cutting in line..."

As she spoke, the little fox demon smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Well, Xiaoxiao, I'm not wronged..." Looking directly at Concubine Zhao Lingfei, she tried to open her eyes wider, but no tears came out.

"So silly..." Zhao Lingfei shook her head and whispered. She reached out and touched the cheek of this well-behaved little fox demon, and used her thumb to wipe her red eyes.

"Even more stupid than me..." She added softly in her heart, but no one heard it.

"Sister Lingfei, well, Xiaoxiao is really not wronged..." Su Xiaoxiao quickly defended.

Concubine Zhao Lingfei pressed her slender fingers on her pink lips and interrupted her words, "Once we enter the house, we are family... sisters, don't say such polite words anymore." The woman lowered her eyes.

"Yeah!" Xiao Qian'er echoed the young lady's words, "Little sister, from now on, Sister Qian'er will take care of you!" She hugged her chest and nodded vigorously.

Su Xiaoxiao was stunned, looking at the two girls with gentle eyes.

"Family...family..." She whispered between her lips, and then her clear fox eyes rolled up, staring at the autumn-eyed woman holding her face, "Well, Xiaoxiao has a family now."

The little fox demon murmured.

Xiao Qian'er stood aside, leaning on the table, looked at Su Xiaoxiao, chuckled, reached out and lifted her up and put the small bookcase on her back.

"You're already sitting down, why are you still carrying a bookcase? How stupid!"

She tried to lift the book box on Su Xiaoxiao's back, but the straps of the little fox demon were too tight, and Xiao Qian'er lifted her up from the seat with one hand, along with the book box.

Half-lifted a 'fox'...

Su Xiaoxiao's cheeks turned red, but she didn't dare to move.

If Zhao Lang dared to pick her up, she would definitely bite him because of her pouty mouth.

"Qian'er, stop making trouble." Concubine Zhao Ling patted the hand of the girl with peach blossom eyes and let go of the slightly embarrassed little fox demon.

"No." Xiao Qian'er retracted her hand and blinked, "I just want to get close to Xiao Xiao, she's so cute."

Su Xiaoxiao blushed and said in a low voice, "Sister Qian'er."

Xiao Qian'er patted the lid of the small bookcase, making a banging sound. "Alright, alright, we are all sisters. I have always wanted to have a sister. Well, from now on, you will follow me, Qian'er, in Taiqing Mansion. If anyone dares to bully you, I will help you beat him up."

After saying this with great confidence, the little girl suddenly reached out her slender hand and touched a certain spot on Su Xiaoxiao's head. "Hmm, why don't they have fox ears? The furry ones written in the books... I want to rub them." She muttered curiously and sighed regretfully.

"..."Su Xiaoxiao.

Are you sure you are not the one who bullies Xiaoxiao the most?

Looking at this funny guy and this punching bag, Concubine Zhao Ling shook her head helplessly, raised her hand to pick up the small sachet on the table that her husband had taken off not long ago, and looked down at it carefully.

"Well...it's not impossible to change..." Su Xiaoxiao blushed and whispered, looking down at the ground, as if she remembered something...

Xiao Qian'er's eyes lit up and she was about to speak, but at this moment, her ears moved and she noticed a guy at the door whose footsteps were gradually slowing down.

"Brother Rong'er, have you finally finished boiling the water?"

She tilted her head teasingly.

Someone outside the door: "..."

His old face turned red and he quickly walked into the house carrying the tea tray.

Zhao Rong couldn't help but glance at the three women sitting at the table:

A woman with autumn eyes in a high-waisted skirt.

A fox-eyed girl in red clothes.

A girl with peach blossom eyes in a pink nightgown.

At this time, they either looked straight ahead, or glanced secretly, or looked with their heads tilted and smiling.

Zhao Rong felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, what are you guys talking about?" he asked, trying to change the subject.

Xiao Qianer frowned and said seriously, "I'm asking Xiaoxiao if she's been bullied by a bad guy. She's so dumb and confused, she might not even know she's been bullied. We, as her sisters, have to ask her carefully. She won't be bullied without knowing it anymore in the future."

Zhao Rong was very happy that Qian'er and Qingjun treated Xiaoxiao as a family member or sister, but he was also a little confused at this time.

"Big bad guy? What big bad guy?"

Xiao Qian'er looked at him and blinked.

Zhao Rong understood immediately, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and immediately shook his head to regain his innocence, "How could I bear to bully her, don't talk nonsense... If you don't believe me, ask Xiaoxiao if I bullied her."

"No, no, Zhao Lang didn't bully me." Su Xiaoxiao raised her hand quickly.

Zhao Lingfei and Xiao Qian'er looked at the little fox demon.

She defended her lover, "On the way to Duyou City, he was very nice to Xiaoxiao!"

Zhao Rong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his love for her was not in vain.

But the next second, Su Xiaoxiao seemed to be afraid that her words were too absolute and her sisters would not believe her, so she tilted her head and thought about it.

"Well, except for the fact that it hurts my hands when I do needlework for him some nights... everything is fine." He added.

The little fox demon, who felt that sewing was hurting her hands, muttered to herself and for a moment did not notice the sudden quiet atmosphere on the scene.

At this time, she nodded her head affirmatively and said, "Sister Lingfei, Sister Qian'er, Zhao Lang did not bully Xiaoxiao!"

There was a certain silence at the table.

The little fox demon turned his head left and right to look at his two sisters with strange expressions, and Zhao Lang whose smile seemed a little stiff.

"Well, what's wrong..." She sounded a little confused, not knowing what was going on.

For a moment, no one responded.

"Sewing... hurts my hands?" Xiao Qian'er squinted her eyes and bit her lip, then turned to look at Brother Rong'er.

The woman with autumn eyes, who had been quietly looking at the small sachet, also raised her head silently and looked at her husband.

Zhao Rong: “…”

The scene was very embarrassing for a while.
