Chapter 41 Relief
Does this Dong Yan look more like her father?

Xiao Huaisu was puzzled in his heart, but he still answered politely, "Exactly!"

"You... your father..."

At this moment, Dong Yan had already wiped away her tears, regardless of the persuasion of the maid beside her, she insisted on walking to Xiao Huaisu, raised her face and asked, "Did your father marry my mother?"

Xiao Huaisu collected his expression, and replied politely and distantly: "Miss Dong, this is a matter for the elders, we as the younger generation have no right to comment." After a pause, he continued: "However, it is a blessing for you to have a mother, and you should cherish the blessing it is good."

"A mother like that..."

Dong Yan bit her lip, the blood on her face faded, her face was as pale as paper, a trace of humiliation appeared in her eyes, and her final voice was as thin as a mosquito, "It's better not to have such a mother..."

The expression in Du Yanyun's eyes changed, and there was already a three-point smile on his face, "It's really a coincidence that I met Miss Dong today, but in the future, you and your cousin are still step-sisters, so you can't be considered strangers. ... also good!"

Dong Yan's eyes turned to Xiao Huaisu again, but the expression in her eyes was extremely complicated, "My stepsister...stepsister..."

"Second sister, let's go!"

Xiao Huaisu didn't know what Du Yanyun meant, but facing Dong Yan like this, she didn't know what face to put on.

Is it angry that Dong Yan's mother took away her father, or something else...

But the little girl in front of her also looked pitiful. Combined with the news that Xiaoju inquired, she also saw the negligence of the maid with her own eyes. In such an environment, Dong Yan's childhood may not be easy. .

"Xiao San, do you know that I am going to move to the Marquis of Changxing now?"

Dong Yan suddenly came up with this sentence. Xiao Huaisu and Du Yanyun were naturally not surprised when they heard the news. She couldn't help laughing when she saw the reaction of the two, but the tears in the smile made it look unbearable, "I don't want to go. , I don't want to..." She covered her face and began to weep softly.

Each family has its own hardships, and others will never be able to empathize with them until that point is reached.

Xiao Huaisu sighed helplessly.

Dong Yan's maid was very embarrassed, so she could not help but complain, "Miss, you are so outspoken today, and the old lady will find out later, and the slaves will be hanged again, when the time comes..."

Dong Yan raised her head suddenly, and cast a cold glance at the girl, her gaze was as sharp as a knife's edge, which made people shudder.

Xiao Huaisu could see it, and only at this moment can he be sure that the little girl in front of him is really the daughter of the county lord Gaoyi.

She had seen the same look, but it was at the Xiao family at that time.

No matter how weak and deceitful Dong Yan is, I'm afraid she has her own bottom line. If a rabbit bites someone in a hurry, this girl is indeed too much.

The girl seemed to have never seen Dong Yan's sharp eyes before, she was stunned for a moment, and the words that followed were cut off in her throat.

Du Yanyun took advantage of the situation and said: "Miss Dong, my third younger sister is still wandering around in the forest, we are going to look for her now, so we can spend less time with her!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Dong Yan to reply, she took Xiao Huaisu's hand and left.

As soon as she turned around, Du Yanyun's face darkened. She always felt that there was something wrong with Dong Yan. She seemed weak and could be bullied, but if you really wanted to bully her, I'm afraid it would not be so easy to talk to. After all, she My mother is the head of the county, and my grandmother is still a princess.

Xiao Huaisu's thoughts at this time coincided with Du Yanyun's, until she walked a long way, she still felt that there was a gaze following closely behind her, like a light on her back!

Turning into the depths of the plum grove, Du Yanyun stopped and turned to look at Xiao Huaisu. Seeing that her expression was normal, she was relieved, and she couldn't help saying a few words, "I think this Miss Dong is not in the right mind. From now on, you should still Less contact is better!"

Xiao Huaisu nodded, "I also think what Second Sister said is reasonable, but anyway, she is going to live in Xiao's house. I'm afraid we haven't had much interaction in the past few years. As for the future... we will talk about it later."

Thinking of what Wang said, she still has to go back to Xiao’s house before she gets married, but that will be many years later, who knows what will happen, maybe Dong Yan will be married at that time, and the two will be married again. The chance of meeting is equal to zero, so thinking about it made her feel much more relaxed.

Du Yanyun straightened Xiao Huaisu's wind-blown hair, and said softly: "At first, I just wanted to leave an impression on you, but in the future it won't be... I didn't expect that others would have already made up their minds, anyway, our family doesn't need to worry about it." Others are good, there is still a long way to go, let’s go and see!”

Du Yanyun asked Feng Xi to find Du Yanyu's master and servant back.

Qingmei and Hongzao held a basket full of plum blossoms in their hands, Du Yanyu stepped forward to take Du Yanyun's arm in a good mood, and said coquettishly: "It's not that the second sister said that she is leaving, I still want to pick a few more plum blossoms! "

"You can't chew too much!"

Du Yanyun gave Du Yanyu an angry look, and said: "Besides, grandma and mother are still waiting for us, so it's not easy to let the elders come to remind us, so let's go back!" Then he nodded to Xiao Huaisu, and they turned back Walking away, he never mentioned the matter of meeting Dong Yan just now.

Du Yanyu was in a good mood after picking the green calyx that he had been thinking about, and asked how Xiao Huaisu would celebrate his birthday next month, "This is the first time for my cousin to celebrate her birthday at our house. Don't ask how luxurious it is. After all, it can't be simple. If you want Make a good impression."

Xiao Huaisu waved his hand and said: "I'm not a college student, besides, I'm in Xiaozhong again, just pass it casually."

"That won't do!"

Du Yanyu pouted, and tugged at Du Yanyun's sleeve.

Du Yanyun thought for a while, and then said: "There are still some days left, don't worry, let's think about it slowly."

Xiao Huaisu smiled and said nothing.

This plum grove was originally built by the late emperor for the nobles, and usually only the female relatives of the famous families in the capital came to see it, and few men came. Besides, there were monks guarding the mountain gate, so they would not let the female relatives come if they knew there were female relatives here. Men mess around.

But when they were about to approach the foot of the mountain, they heard a commotion from the mountain gate, and everyone stopped involuntarily.

Xiao Huaisu and the others are now separated by a few clumps of branches, and at the corner. Although they can't see the scene below, they can hear the sound.

Du Yanyun frowned slightly, and sent Feng Xi down to investigate again, and ordered: "If it's a man, please ask the monk master to let them avoid it for a while."

Feng Xi nodded and took the order to leave.

A few people stood here and did not leave, Xiao Huaisu looked back at the top of the mountain from time to time, she was afraid that Dong Yan would also come down with her maid, and if they bumped into each other, there would be nothing good to say.

Du Yanyun squeezed her hand to comfort her, but there is nothing to do right now, if there are too many men at the mountain gate, it's really not good for their female relatives to go on like this.
