Xiaoxiao poked the eagle's head, and the fierce eagle seemed to know that this was its little master. Although it was unhappy, it did not peck at it.
“Big Eagle, Big Eagle, don’t you also think Daddy is very good to me? Unlike my little cousin who was born to my aunt, he still doesn’t know who his biological father is.” Xiaoxiao laughed as she spoke. “You don’t know, do you? My aunt has three husbands. One is Uncle Mu, one is Uncle Lan, and one is Uncle Chen. I often hear Mom say that my aunt doesn’t have backaches or leg pains… But why does my aunt have backaches and leg pains? Mom won’t tell me, and Daddy won’t tell me either. Sigh, adults have so many secrets.”
Seemingly unable to bear the girl's nagging, the eagle cried out and flapped its wings, flying away.
"Hey, Eagle, where are you going? Wait for me!" Xiaoxiao stood up and chased after the direction the eagle had flown off in.
After running through the back garden and then through a long corridor, she got tired and leaned against the wall to rest for a while. Only then did she realize that she had come to a completely unfamiliar place. Gu Yan often brought her to the Prince's Mansion to play, and she had already explored all the fun places in the mansion, but she had never been here before.
In a deserted and secluded courtyard overgrown with weeds, there was a tightly closed house. Xiaoxiao, with the curiosity of an ordinary child, went inside. After looking around, she naturally focused her attention on the closed door.
My father's mansion is the best place in the world besides the imperial palace. How could there be such a dilapidated courtyard?
Xiaoxiao couldn't understand it, so she became even more curious. She walked up the steps, stroked her chin and thought for a moment, then raised her hand to the door. But she didn't push it open. A voice told her that she would regret it if she did.
Xiaoxiao inherited Fengguang's beauty, as well as his terrifying intuition. Everything here gave her a very strange feeling. Reason told her to leave this place as soon as possible. Xiaoxiao withdrew her hand and took a step back. As soon as she turned around, she saw a large eagle circling in front of her. She was caught off guard and was startled. She fell backward and crashed open the door of the house.
A foul, pungent stench assaulted her senses. Xiaoxiao had never smelled such a strong stench of blood before. There were also people inside the jars. They had no eyes, but they heard the noise and turned their blood-stained faces toward the door.
Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, clutched her hair, trembled, and screamed. The eagle was still flying nearby, seemingly urging her to leave quickly. But the little girl, who had been protected by her parents since childhood, had never seen such a terrifying scene before. It was even more terrifying than the necrophiliac prince in Snow White that her mother had told her about. Her legs went weak, and she couldn't get up for a moment.
A tall, slender figure appeared in the doorway, backlit by the light. He asked softly, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
"Daddy!" Xiaoxiao suddenly found her strength. She scrambled to her feet and threw herself into her father's arms, burying her head in his waist, too scared to lift it. She stammered, "I'm so scared..."
Su Bi followed behind Gu Yan. He glanced at Xiao Xiao in Gu Yan's arms, then at the gentle-smiling Gu Yan, and his expression suddenly became tense. But he quickly reassured himself, "No, after all, Xiao Xiao is my biological daughter..."
"What are you afraid of, Xiaoxiao?" Gu Yan bent down slightly and asked with his head down. His slightly raised lips and his smile were as charming as ever.
He is still the same father who can laugh and joke and is a good child.
Xiaoxiao suddenly felt scared.
