Ye Yuan'er was shocked. She thought that Xiao Shuangbao was the only one with her, and Chen Cao didn't come. But who knew that there was a secret guard hiding in the dark to protect her!
She couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Fortunately, I didn’t do anything bad!
Otherwise, wouldn't the secret guards see everything clearly?
At this moment, Ye Yuan'er suddenly became more obedient, and hurriedly followed Xiao Shuangbao into the room.
Xiao Shuangbao pushed open the door.
It was broad daylight, but it was pitch black inside. The window that had just been opened for a moment was now tightly blocked again, and not even a ray of light could get in. Finally, as the door opened, the room became a little brighter.
Xiao Shuangbao raised his hand again, and the tightly closed window was opened again.
The room was completely lit up.
Xiao Shuangbao looked up and saw a thin and small figure huddled under the windowsill. The little girl, who seemed to be about the same age as Xiao Shuangbao, raised her head, opened a pair of surprisingly large eyes, and looked at Xiao Shuangbao and Ye Yuaner behind her.
"Oh my God! Didn't Wan Niang say that her daughter is already eight years old? An eight-year-old should be about the same height as me, right? But why does she look even thinner than the little princess?" Ye Yuan'er exclaimed as soon as she saw the little girl.
Little Shuangbao frowned.
This little girl really doesn't look like she's eight years old at all. She's so skinny all over, her face is bony and pale, and her eyes look especially big.
She glanced around the room and did not see the red-eyed ghost that Ye Yuaner had mentioned.
However, Xiao Shuangbao soon noticed a rag doll behind the offerings placed on the only table in the room.
"What's your name?" Xiao Shuangbao glanced at the rag doll, then looked at the little girl in front of him, walked towards her, raised his hand and pulled her up.
"I, my name is Ruo'er." The little girl said in a mosquito-like voice, her small hands grasping Xiao Shuangbao's sleeves, raising her skinny little face to look at her and said, "I, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
"Yes." Xiao Shuangbao has the habit of carrying snacks with him.
She nodded and took off a brocade bag from her waist, which contained a few cakes.
"Here, eat it. Eat slowly and don't choke." She handed the pastry to the little girl.
"Thank you." The little girl was obviously very hungry. She picked up the pastry and started to eat it ravenously, finishing it in a few bites.
She licked the corner of her mouth and looked at Xiao Shuangbao with some reluctance. It seemed that she was not full and wanted to eat more.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Shuangbao suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Because this little girl suddenly reminded her of her past self.
After her father, the God of War, passed away, she lived in the Su family, unable to get enough food every day.
"I'll take you out for something delicious later." Xiao Shuangbao couldn't help but patted her head gently and promised her.
"No." However, the little girl shook her head, "My mother won't let me go out, and I can't go back to this room."
The little girl said this and lowered her head.
Xiao Shuangbao followed her gaze and discovered that there was a thick chain wrapped around her slender ankle!
"Oh my God! Is this Wan Niang still human?" Ye Yuan'er couldn't help but exclaim, and then she said angrily, "This is her daughter! Her own daughter! She tied her daughter up like an animal! She didn't even give her food! I saw her wearing gold and silver, dressed up gorgeously! She went to the restaurant to ask the little princess for fortune-telling and was so generous that she just gave her a gold hairpin! But! She turned out to be a beast who abused her own daughter! I'm so angry!"
She became angrier and angrier as she spoke, gasping for breath.
Xiao Shuangbao couldn't help but look at her.
Ye Yuan'er seemed to remember something when she saw her like that, and a look of shame suddenly appeared on her face: "I know that I did something wrong before. I didn't know there are such evil people in this world. From now on, I will never do bad things again."
"I'm glad you know." Little Shuangbao raised the corner of his lips slightly, and then looked at the little girl, Ruo'er, and said, "I heard from your mother that you are her youngest child. So you should have brothers or sisters, right? What about them? Do they know that your mother treats you like this? Don't they help you?"
"There's a brother." Ruo'er said, pointing under her bed, "Brother is over there, asleep, and can't help Ruo'er."
When Xiao Shuangbao heard this, he realized something and his face changed immediately!
"Where?"
Ye Yuan'er was still a little confused. "What do you mean asleep? Why is he sleeping under the bed?"
As she spoke, she squatted down and crawled under the bed, wanting to see her brother...
Xiao Shuangbao wanted to pull her, but it was too late!
"ah!"
The next moment, Ye Yuaner's scream was heard!
She backed away desperately in terror, her face completely drained of color. She pointed under the bed and babbled incoherently, "There's...there's a ghost!"
Xiao Shuangbao couldn't help but sigh.
"That's not a ghost, but the remains of Ruo'er's brother." She pulled Ye Yuan'er up from the ground and explained, "Ruo'er's brother must have been abused by Wan Niang since childhood, just like Ruo'er, and died early. Am I right, Ruo'er?"
"Yes." Ruoer nodded, looking well-behaved.
"Wanniang, this is too much!" Ye Yuan'er couldn't help crying when she saw that Ruo'er was being treated like this by her biological mother, but she still looked well-behaved and obedient. "Ruo'er is so good, why does Wanniang treat her like this? This is really too much! Little Princess, can you save Ruo'er? Please save her! She is so pitiful!"
