A businesswoman with a sharp edge, a genius cultivator

Chapter 214 The silver flower on the back

What the old lady said not only confused Murong Ce, but also confused Zixi. Although she had spent a few days with the old lady in the Forest of Firefly and came all the way to the imperial capital, she had no relatives. Relationship, where did this granddaughter come from?
Although Zixi was very moved by the old lady's coming forward, the title of grandma is not something that can be called casually.

"Old lady, what do you mean by this?" Zixi saw that Murong Ce was speechless after being sprayed by the old lady, so she had to ask herself.

The old lady opened her mouth and was about to speak, when another voice came from the side, "Let me tell you about this, Zixi."

A familiar voice came, Zixi turned her head, and Baililan's figure came from one side, and soon she had already walked into the crowd here.

"Master Baili?" Zixi was a little surprised, what does this have to do with Baililan?

"En." Baililan nodded, seeing that he had successfully attracted everyone's attention, he said slowly, "Zixi, do you still remember the hollow silver flower I found on your back in the Wuhui Forest ?"

Zixi thought about it and nodded, "What?" Could it be that this silver flower has something to do with the General's Mansion?
"I once saw the same silver flower on the back of the young lady in the General's Mansion. It was when you were just born." Baili Lan said slowly, looking into the distance, as if looking through the sky ahead. to the distant past.

Zixi opened her eyes in surprise, just born?Did he mean that he was the little lady in the general's mansion?
"The old lady Yinhua has also confirmed that it is only found on the young lady of the General's Mansion, but she still had a birthmark on her face at that time, and your face..." Bai Lilan hesitated, which is why he didn't The reason why I dare to confirm is that after all, the doctor who treated Zixi said that the birthmark is impossible to fade away, but now Zixi has exquisite and beautiful facial features, fair skin, and no birthmark at all.

Zixi reached out and touched his left cheek, his eyes narrowed slightly. If the birthmark he said was Wanmihua, then he was undoubtedly the one. I didn't expect to find my relatives in this trip to the imperial capital. ?

"I did have a birthmark when I was a child, but when I grew up, I got sick and the birthmark disappeared." Zixi spoke slowly, half-truthfully half-truthfully.

"That's right! You are indeed the young lady of the General's Mansion." Bai Lilan said affirmatively.

"Old lady..." Zixi turned her head to speak, but was interrupted by the old lady, "Silly boy, call me grandma..."

Zixi was silent for a while, "You said that I am the young lady of the General's Mansion, so where are my parents?" Zixi looked up at Murong Ce, could it be this arrogant man who hated him to the bone?
Zixi didn't expect that the faces of the old lady and Murong Ce darkened as soon as she said these words.

"What?" Zixi frowned, with a bad premonition in her heart.

"Your father..." The old lady half-spoken, a little sad.

"So you are the second brother's daughter." Murong Ce's cold voice came down, Zixi looked up and saw him speak again, "It's a pity that the second brother died young, and the second younger brother and sister also died in love. You will never see each other again." Here they are."

Murong Ce's cold and mocking voice made the listeners very uncomfortable, but they finally understood why both the old lady and Bai Lilan looked sad.

"Is it dead?" Zixi said softly and sighed. She thought she could meet them somewhere this time, but she had passed away.

The old lady hesitated to speak, and finally opened her mouth to comfort her, "Zixi, don't worry, you still have us, as long as I stay here for a day, I will take good care of you." The only thing she can say now, maybe There was only this sentence, and when he finished speaking, he gave Murong Ce a fierce look at his son.

"En." Zixi nodded gently, accepting the old lady's kindness.

"Zixi, I'm sorry, I should have confirmed and told you about this earlier, but I didn't expect my mother to suddenly become seriously ill, so I delayed it." Bai Lilan said a little guilty.

"It doesn't matter, it's the same if you know it sooner or later." Zixi was very calm, this General Murong's Mansion was only strange to her, maybe only the old lady could make her feel warm.

Her father and mother are gone, what else is there for Ye Zixi to miss?
Seeing Zixi's indifferent expression, the old lady felt even more guilty.

Murong Ce held the longbow in his hand, and the anger in his heart was still rising, but the old lady was here, no matter what he did today, it was impossible for him to take Zixi's life.

"Zixi, will you go back to the general's mansion with me?" The old lady looked at Zixi distressedly and said, it must be hard work living outside for so many years.

"No, I still have something to do." Zixi had already made up her mind as soon as she pondered. What she wants to do now is to go to the Imperial College for further studies, instead of going back to the General's Mansion to be a pampered lady.

"What else are you going to do? Do you need grandma to help you?" The old lady said cautiously, for fear that Zixi would reject her.

"I participated in the recruitment of Imperial College this time, and I will report to Imperial College this afternoon." Zi Xi explained slowly.

Calculating the time, I was delayed a lot by animal taming before, but now it is almost the same.

"Imperial Academy?" The old lady blinked in surprise. She didn't expect that Zixi had already attended Imperial Academy and got an invitation letter just after arriving in the imperial capital.

"Zixi, I really have you. I can enter Imperial College so soon." Bai Lilan also smiled, but thinking of Zixi's abilities, entering Imperial College is just a piece of cake.

Zixi also smiled slightly, "So I have to report, the General's Mansion... I will come when I am free."

Zixi said the latter sentence to the old lady. She still has a lot of things she doesn't understand, such as why she was abandoned in the first place, such as the Wanmi flower on her body, but this is not something that can be explained clearly in a while. What's more, there is Murong Ce, a super big light bulb behind her, there are some things she doesn't want to let irrelevant people know.

"Okay, okay, as long as you come, the door of the General's Mansion will always be open for you." The old lady said with a smile.

"Mother..." Murong Ce was displeased, "Da'er still can't get out of bed! My master was also killed by her!" Did you just let this girl go like this?

When the old lady heard it, her face turned blue, and she said coldly, "Da'er's temper, don't you know that you are a father? I went to see it, and it was because I used the forbidden technique of my Murong family. As a result, I couldn’t get out of bed, Zixi’s blow was not serious! As for your master, don’t you think I don’t know how much he has done for Da’er behind my back since childhood? This time he must have come to trouble Zixi.”

The old lady snorted coldly, feeling very upset, remembering that Murong Ce had shot Zixi just now, and now Zixi was still covered with injuries, she was furious, and she was kind to him if she didn't hold him accountable.

Murong Ce is aggrieved, but the old lady is here, no matter how aggrieved you are, it will be useless.

After that, Zixi bid farewell to the old lady directly, found a place to take a shower and change clothes, and then walked towards the gate of the Imperial College in a slightly depressed mood.

She was actually the young lady of the General's Mansion, and her sudden appearance caught her by surprise. Father Ye asked her to find her relatives, and now she has done it, but her biological parents are not in the world, and there is nothing to recognize in this family, but Thinking of the old lady's loving attitude, I was a little more worried, and after a while, I went to the general's mansion to ask everything clearly, and now I should be able to study with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Zixi exhaled, regained his energy, and headed towards the entrance of the Imperial College.

"Zixi, I knew you would definitely come, but we didn't wait in vain." Bailizhu and Mo Ziheng had already been watching from the crowd, and when they saw Zixi's figure, they hurried over to meet him.

Zixi raised her eyebrows, "Why are you here?" These two people have disappeared since the morning, and Zixi thought it was impossible to see them again this day.

"Wait for you!" The two said in unison, "When we went back at noon, the housekeeper said that you had already left. I guess no matter where you go, you will come to the gate of the Imperial College in the afternoon, but no, you are here."

"That's right, Zixi, if you don't come again, the gate of the Imperial Academy will be closed." Mo Ziheng also interjected.

Zixi turned her head, there were not many people at the gate of the Imperial College, and it took a lot of time for her to be stopped by Murong Ce.

Breathing out lightly, Zixi hurriedly said, "Let's go there quickly."

Several people nodded and followed Zixi. There were only a dozen people in the team in front of them, and Zixi was the last one.

A 50-meter-tall banyan tree grows at the entrance of the Imperial College. The lush canopy and dense leaves can't stop the bright red like fire.

A corner of the robe hangs down, and the man raises his hand to brew a flame in the palm of his hand. He boils the water in the teapot, pours it into the tea making tool on the side, shakes it gently to pour the water out, and makes a second brew.

The water stream fell down the air, but the red flame suddenly ignited, vaporizing all the water stream into water vapor, and dissipated in the air without anyone noticing.

He held the cup and took a sip, and then said with satisfaction, "The tea leaves sent by this old guy are really top-grade, which is interesting."

When he finished drinking one cup and was about to drink the second cup, the man caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eyes.

The tea bowl in his hand fell quietly, but the man didn't seem to know it.

"Ouch!" Under the tree, a new student who was hit by a teacup had a headache, raised his hand and picked up the teacup from his head, and looked up from the top of his head, the red clothes had disappeared, leaving behind It was a pot of steaming tea that had just been brewed.

The red figure had landed before the ground in an instant, with a pair of eyes fixed on the person on the other side of the line of sight.

The teacher who was in charge of entertaining the new students turned his head and saw the red figure inadvertently, "Master Dean!"
