Mother Ru's eyes turned and she smiled:
"Since both of the girl's parents are gone, what's the harm in not recognizing this marriage?"
Xiao's mother shook her head.
"If it were that simple, it would be easy to explain, but they even exchanged tokens back then. If the girl came with the token, how can I deny it?"
Ru's mother's smile faded slightly.
"What is it?"
"It's the pair of green fish-shaped pendants."
Su Yunruo walked anxiously on the path in the garden, digesting what she had just heard.
Mo Qin's fiancé is Brother Haoyang.
Aunt Xiao looks down on Mo Qin.
Why isn't she the one engaged to Brother Haoyang?
She is the daughter of the Valley Master, and Aunt Xiao will definitely not despise her.
Mo Qin doesn't like Brother Haoyang, so it would be better if this marriage was given to her.

Because of the arrival of Manor Master Xiao, a small banquet was held at Luoxia Villa in the evening.
The guests who had already arrived were present.
There are two types of maids serving at the banquet.
One is wearing green clothes, the other is wearing pink clothes. The girl in pink also has a fresh pink flower on her bun.
If a guest takes a fancy to the maid in pink, he can keep her and even take her back to his room to enjoy after dinner.
But the maid in green cannot be moved.
Mother Xiao looked at the two girls from Spiritual Medicine Valley calmly.
In response to Xiao's mother's frequent glances, Mo Qin only responded with a polite smile at the beginning, and pretended not to see them afterwards.
Anyway, this engagement will be cancelled in a few days.
In the original plot, the original owner had planned to wait until the birthday banquet at Luoxia Villa was over before talking to the owner Xiao about the matter.
But he didn't expect to give Su Yunruo the opportunity to steal the token.
This time, Mo Qin still gave her this opportunity.
Waiting for her to steal.
Su Yunruo was a little absent-minded, fearing that Xiao's mother would fall in love with Mo Qin.
Mo Qin quickly noticed her uneasy look.
Thinking of the medicinal herbs that had been prepared, Mo Qin counted the days and guessed when Su Yunruo would take action.
The banquet ended quickly.
Everyone was having a great time, and several men were holding the pink-dressed maids, ready to go back and continue having fun.
Yu Jing was not interested at all and seemed to have no interest in anything in Luoxia Villa.
He was acting as a flower protector with peace of mind, as if he was an outsider who came here just to repay Mo Qin's kindness.
As for what is done in secret, only the parties involved know.
-
That night.
Pan Xiaowan came to the door of Master Xiao and she mustered up the courage to knock on it.
Facing the middle-aged and righteous owner of Manor Xiao, she told him everything about her family's experience.
At the end of his speech, his voice became more choked and his cries were full of blood.
"Master Xiao, the people of the Demon Cult are extremely cruel. I am the only one among the more than seventy people in my Pan family who has managed to survive."
"I disguised myself all the way until I met Brother Haoyang, and then I arrived here safely."
"I don't ask you to help my Pan family get revenge. I only ask you to provide me with a place of refuge."
The dim candlelight could not illuminate the dark light in Master Xiao's eyes. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he suppressed it with great restraint.
Manor Master Xiao helped Pan Xiaowan, who was kneeling on the ground and crying, up and comforted her:
"Don't be afraid, niece Xiaowan. Uncle will definitely protect your safety!"
He frowned, pulled the person to sit down, and then slapped the wooden table with anger on his face.
"This evil cult is truly rampant! They disregard human life and kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
"Niece Xiaowan, do you know why the Demon Cult wants to attack the Pan family?"
Pan Xiaowan was frightened by the slap, but she felt much more at ease.
This was the first time in so many days that an elder had felt sad and angry for her and wanted to support her.
She was about to tell the secret in her heart, but suddenly remembered her mother's warning.
After careful consideration, she said:
"A month before the accident, my mother gave me a strange thing."
A gleam of light flashed in Master Xiao's eyes.
"What is it?"
Pan Xiaowan hesitated and didn't say it directly.
Master Xiao patted Pan Xiaowan's shoulder nonchalantly:
"Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it then don't talk about it."
"The things your mother entrusted to you must be very important. You must keep them safe and don't tell anyone else."
Pan Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief:
"Yes, Uncle Xiao."
-
morning.
Mo Qin spread out a medical book, there was paper and pen on the table, the medicine box was also open, and the whole room was filled with a faint herbal scent.
She is studying how to make the medicine.
She didn't even notice when Yu Jing came in and walked to the table.
Yu Jing looked at the name in the book and his eyebrows twitched.
He reached out to cover the page, his tone cold.
"Who are you going to make this for?"
Mo Qin reached out to push his hand away, but it didn't move at all.
The girl's soft and slightly cool hands covered Yu Jing's arms and knuckles, making him want to reach out and knead them.
Mo Qin answered truthfully.
"To Xiao Haoyang."
Yu Jing felt a surge of anger in his heart. He raised his hand and grabbed Mo Qin's wrist, but the girl's slender wrist was not even big enough for him to hold.
"Why?"
Mo Qin knew that this statement was ambiguous, but it was indeed for Xiao Haoyang.
She glanced outside the door and saw that there was no one around, so she leaned in and explained in a low voice.
"This is poison, and its effects are not what is written in the book at all."
"The person who wrote this recipe chose such an attractive name on purpose."
