Chapter 226 Ran Away
"good."
Yun Piaomiao did not hesitate and followed the man out of the Xiao family.
The man smiled softly as he led Yun Piaomiao to a secluded courtyard.
"Miao'er, go see your mother!"
Yun Piaomiao nodded lightly; her expressionless face showed nothing unusual.
The two entered the room. Shui Furong was lying on the bed with a pale face and eyes closed, with a bandage on her forehead.
She looked weak and pitiful, and Yun Piaomiao looked at her with complicated eyes.
"Is the mother okay?"
"It's nothing, just a flesh wound. It will be fine in a few days!"
Shui Furong heard the noise in the room and slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Yun Piaomiao, there was a hint of discomfort on her face.
The man knew that the relationship between mother and daughter was strained, so he tried to persuade them gently.
"Well, there is no such thing as an overnight grudge between mother and daughter! This is all my fault. It's my fault that I caused so many problems! I know that you two have suffered a lot over the years, and I will definitely make it up to you in the future."
The man took Yun Piaomiao's hand and placed it in Shui Furong's hand, and both of them froze.
"Miao'er, even if you can't become the saint of the Yun family, you are still the little princess of our demon clan. Let's take a short rest, and I will take you back."
"Go back? Where?"
Yun Piaomiao looked at the man in confusion, and the man smiled proudly with a smug look on his face.
“Hahaha… Miao’er, the hidden families have their own families, and we the demon clan naturally have our own families. Now, the demon clan respects our Li family as the leader, so you are naturally the little princess of our demon clan.”
Yun Piaomiao was silent for a moment. She had always thought that the demons were rats in the sewers, who could only hide in the dark to survive.
Now it seems that the demons are actually the same as the hidden families.
"Miao'er, stay and talk to your mother. I'll go out and make some arrangements."
After the man finished speaking, he touched Yun Piaomiao's head, looked at Shui Furong, then turned and left the room.
The mother and daughter sat in silence, facing each other without saying a word. After a long time, Yun Piaomiao spoke, breaking the silence in the room.
"What happened? How did you get into such a mess?"
Shui Furong was stunned for a moment before she forced out a sarcastic smile.
"What's going on? This is all thanks to you. If you had done things cleanly and efficiently, I wouldn't have been implicated by you."
Yun Piaomiao looked at Shui Furong and asked in confusion.
"Why did I get you into trouble?"
"hehe……."
Shui Furong smiled bitterly, and her beautiful eyes lost their former luster.
"It would be fine if you imprisoned your grandparents, but why did you tell them your true life story? I won't tell you any more. You were so unrestrained in front of them. Now, everyone knows that you, Yun Piaomiao, are a fickle demon offspring."
Yun Piaomiao remained calm and replied calmly.
"Those two old guys were rescued? It seems that my father doesn't love me that much. Otherwise, why would he search my room when I was away?"
…
Not long after Yun Piaomiao left the Xiao family, Xiao Wuwei received a letter from Yun Reyue. After reading the letter, his face became extremely ugly and he gave instructions to the person outside the door.
"Go and invite the young master here."
When Xiao Ze saw that Xiao Wuwei asked someone to call him over late at night, he knew that something big had happened. When he hurried to the main courtyard, Xiao Wuwei handed him a letter.
"Zer, take a look."
Xiao Ze took the letter, opened it, and was stunned.
"Father, there is indeed something wrong with Miss Yun. How should we deal with this matter now?"
Thinking that Yun Piaomiao still lives in the Xiao family, Xiao Ze feels a little uneasy.
"Hey, your Uncle Yun asked us to restrain Yun Piaomiao first and deal with him when he arrives."
Xiao Wuwei couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, feeling a little scared. If I hadn't been cautious and told Brother Yun about An Ran's discovery, then if Yun Piaomiao had stayed in the Xiao family, I'm afraid the Xiao family would have been plotted against by her.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Xiao Ze suddenly felt a surge of anger at being fooled. He always felt guilty towards her, so he was always somewhat tolerant of her. I didn't expect that she could be so cruel.
Thinking about meeting An Ran at the market that day, I was afraid that Yun Piaomiao was pretending like that on purpose.
Thinking of the An family's attitude towards him, Xiao Ze felt a little depressed. This time, Ran'er must be really angry.
Xiao Ze traveled as fast as lightning and arrived at the guest house where Yun Piaomiao lived in a short while. It was late at night and the guest house was quiet.
Xiao Ze listened carefully and found something wrong. He kicked the door open and walked quickly into the inner room, only to find that the room was empty and there was no sign of Yun Piaomiao.
“He actually ran away.”
Xiao Ze slammed the table beside him angrily, looking annoyed. He simply couldn't believe that the quiet and gentle woman was actually a ruthless, cunning witch like a fox.
Xiao Ze was feeling depressed and could only return to the main house dejectedly.
"Run away?"
Seeing him coming over alone in a depressed mood, Xiao Wuwei spoke without any surprise.
"Yes, father. When I went there, the house was empty. It looked like she had left a long time ago."
"It doesn't matter. The most important thing for us now is for everyone to be vigilant and not fall for her tricks."
Xiao Wuwei took a sip of tea and let out a long breath.
"Your uncle Yun said that Shui Furong was rescued by someone. It was probably Yun Piaomiao's biological father who did it. Since that person is from the demon clan, there can't be only one demon clan member. Let's make arrangements tomorrow morning. From now on, the patrols in the clan will be supplemented by two more teams. Also, the disciples in the clan must not slack off in their cultivation. The hidden clan has been peaceful for so many years. I'm afraid it will be in chaos in the future."
Xiao Ze was in a state of confusion. After hearing Xiao Wuwei's instructions, he could only calm himself down and put everything aside.
"Yes, father. I will arrange it tomorrow morning."
Seeing that he looked uneasy, Xiao Wuwei let out a long sigh.
"Hey, you ran into a wall when you went to the An family two days ago, right? Ze'er, since you and An Ran are in love, you should trust her wholeheartedly. At the beginning, you had already decided to refuse the marriage, so what's the point of feeling guilty? You are wavering like this, and An Ran is a stubborn girl. How can you tolerate it?"
Xiao Ze's face was filled with even more guilt, and his usual icy face shattered in an instant.
"Father, what should I do?"
"Ze'er, no one can predict the future of love. What if An Ran really wants you and forgives you out of pity?"
"Father, you are still in the mood to tease me. I will go find Ran'er now and apologize to her."
Xiao Ze was extremely anxious and turned around to go out.
"Zer, An Ran doesn't want to see you. What's the point of you going there?"
As soon as Xiao Wuwei finished speaking, Xiao Ze stopped in his tracks.
"Okay, go back and rest first! Now is not the time to be sentimental. You and An Ran will meet again in the future. When the time comes, explain everything to her."
Xiao Ze now had no other choice but to return to his courtyard dejectedly.
