half thorns, half joy

"Go to my parents?" Tang Xuan nodded despite being puzzled, "Okay, if you want to go, let's go back together when I go back next time."

Cai Lin's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Well, of course it's true."

"That's for sure!"

Cai Lin hugged Tang Xuan happily, she was really happy.

Tang Xuan didn't understand why Cai Lin was so warm to her all of a sudden, and she didn't have the time to think about it. She pulled back the quilt and put the pillow on, and said to Cai Lin, "Come on, let's sleep for a while. When Zihan's mother wakes up, there will be trouble again." And you."

"It's okay, don't bother me, I'm a junior, this is what I should do." Although Cai Lin said so, she still lay down.

After all, she hadn't slept for nearly a night, and she was really tired by being by Zhao Suizhi's side all the time.

Tang Xuan walked over and closed the curtains, and tucked in the quilt for Cai Lin.

"Go to sleep."

"Yes." Cai Lin nodded obediently.

Tang Xuan patted Cai Lin's quilt lightly like a big sister, got up and left.

"Sister Tang Xuan!" Cai Lin suddenly called out to Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan stopped in her tracks, turned around and looked at Cai Lin suspiciously, "Huh? What's wrong?"

"That...that's..." Cai Lin blushed, looking rather embarrassed, "I've always wanted a sister...you...can you be my sister..."

Tang Xuan was stunned, and only then did she understand why Cai Lin just said that she wanted to go back to her hometown with her.

Cai Lin must have heard about her from Zhao Suizhi and knew her background, so she felt sympathy for her.

Although Tang Xuan was used to being alone, she didn't feel that her life was miserable.

But it is still very happy for her to have such a person who wants to be her family in such a roundabout way.

Tang Xuan rolled her eyes and smiled, "Of course, I want a younger sister too."

"Really!" Cai Lin's expectant eyes became brighter and brighter.

"En!" Tang Xuan was also a little excited by Cai Lin's enthusiasm.

"That's great! Sister!" Cai Lin threw off the quilt, jumped off the bed, ran to Tang Xuan, and hugged Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan stretched out her hand and also embraced Cai Lin.

"I will have a sister in the future, hehe." Cai Lin was as happy as a child.

"Silly boy."

It's no wonder that Cai Lin was excited. No matter how good Cai Jinyu is, she is a man after all, and her thoughts are not delicate enough. Many girls in Cai Lin can't share their thoughts with others.Since she was a child, she wanted a sister.

If it is inconvenient to talk to my mother and brother, I can tell my sister.

When she heard Zhao Suizhi say that Tang Xuan's parents died when she was young and she grew up like a weed, her heart ached for Tang Xuan.

Lin Qiaoer also said the same thing about Tang Xuan. At that time, she thought Tang Xuan was a bad person and was full of prejudice against Tang Xuan.

Now that she understands the facts, hearing this again, besides feeling sorry for Tang Xuan, she also feels guilty.

Such a strong and tolerant Tang Xuan was very much like the older sister she imagined.

"Sister, can I whisper to you in the future?"

Tang Xuan laughed, "What kind of whisper, the kind you can't even tell your brother?"

Cai Lin pursed her lips and nodded, "Yeah!"

"Okay, but if your brother finds out, he will be very pleased."

"Then let him eat it!" Cai Lin pursed her lips, "Anyway, he is always angry with me, and I will be angry with him too."

"Haha."

……

Deng house.

Deng Langyue leaned back in the wicker chair, with a thin woolen blanket covering her knees, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, listening to her subordinates' reports with a sullen face.

The news of Xiao Mingyuan's death in prison has spread throughout the upper class.

The Deng family was also included in Xiao Zihan's invitation.

It's just that Lao Deng is abroad, and Deng Langyue has inconvenient legs and feet, so he just sent someone to deliver a wreath.

Deng Langyue knew in her heart that the Xiao family and the Cai family had a very good relationship, and someone would definitely participate in the whole process of Xiao Mingyuan's funeral.

So, he called his men down and listened to his narration of the movements of the Xiao family.

"And then?" Deng Langyue took a sip of tea, "They all went back?"

"Yes. Mrs. Zhao's spirit is not very good. Miss Cai Lin went back with Mrs. Zhao. Cai Jinyu went back with Xiao Zihan and the woman next to Xiao Zihan."

It was the most common process that Deng Langyue could guess, but Deng Langyue listened with gusto.

Even he himself didn't realize that the corner of his mouth showed a smile unconsciously.

"Yeah... got it..." After a long while, Deng Langyue came back to her senses, and waved her hand at her opponent, "Go down."

The subordinates did not leave immediately, but asked: "Young master, do you want someone to continue to watch over the Xiao family?"

Deng Langyue shook her head, "No need."

"Yes." The subordinate then retreated.

Deng Langyue leaned back on the rattan chair and let out a long sigh.

Xiao Zihan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, if he sends someone to keep an eye on him, he will definitely be discovered.Besides, what he cared about was not Xiao Zihan.

But...

Deng Langyue sighed again.

Forget it.

"Young master, it's going to be cold in the evening. Let me help you in." The nanny stepped forward and said softly to Deng Langyue.

Deng Langyue opened his eyes and turned to look at the nanny. From the corner of his eye, he spotted the side door not far behind the nanny.

Inside, lived the enchanted woman brought back by my uncle.

Deng Langyue stretched out her hand, and the nanny quickly and carefully supported Deng Langyue to stand up on one foot.

After these days of recuperation, Deng Langyue's legs are much better than before, and he can walk a short distance with crutches.

"By the way, I asked the kitchen to make crab porridge for me. Go ahead and see if it's ready." Deng Langyue suddenly said to the nanny after the nanny put away the crutches for Deng Langyue.

The nanny hesitated, and said worriedly, "Young master, I'll help you in first, and then go to the kitchen."

"No, I can do it myself. Hurry up and take a look." Deng Langyue insisted.

The nanny didn't dare to disobey Deng Langyue, so she could only nod her head and quickly walked towards the front yard.

As soon as the nanny disappeared, Deng Langyue changed direction, leaning on crutches, and entered the side door in the backyard.

The side door was only half-closed and not locked.

One push and it opens.

The rules of the Deng family are very strict, and those who make mistakes are severely punished, and basically no one dares to mess around.Therefore, unlocking is also a common thing.

The backyard was quiet, without any noise.

Deng Langyue looked around suspiciously, leaning on crutches, she walked towards the main room in the middle that looked a little smoky.

The main room door was not locked either, but it was buckled.

Standing at the door of the main room, Deng Langyue clearly smelled a very special fragrance.

Refreshing, feminine perfume.

Is it in it?

If they were really inside, why did they lock the door outwards?
Deng Langyue was originally a very curious person, especially since it had something to do with his uncle, he wanted to know what was going on.

But he is also afraid of his uncle. This is his uncle's residence. It is already inappropriate for him to sneak in. If he makes another mistake, he will probably be overwhelmed when his uncle comes back.

Deng Langyue was struggling with nature and human beings, when suddenly she heard a strange voice coming from inside.

Like, the sound of the iron chain being dragged, sliding heavily across the ground.

Deng Langyue's attention was immediately attracted, he couldn't care less about it anymore, he supported the crutch with one hand, and quickly unbuttoned it with the other.

With a snap, the button fell aside.

The sound of the iron chain inside became heavier and louder.

Deng Langyue raised her hand and pushed open the door.

Deng Langyue knew from a young age that her uncle was a ruthless character, he always looked smiling and had a very gentle expression, but only when she got to know her, did she realize that it was all an illusion, completely opposite to his ruthless personality and handling style.

Even so, Deng Langyue didn't expect to see such a scene in her uncle's room one day.

The scene in front of her was so unexpected that Deng Langyue couldn't react to it.

"Young master! Why did you come here, young master!" The nanny who went to the kitchen and returned looked for Deng Langyue, panting.

Deng Langyue didn't say a word, he was still immersed in shock.

There was indeed a woman in my uncle's room.

What he couldn't believe was that the woman's ankles were tied with shackles, and behind the shackles were long iron chains.

And the woman, who was only wearing a piece of cloth or a bed sheet, just sat on the ground leisurely, raised her head, and looked at Deng Langyue.

The woman looks very good-looking, with long hair scattered on her body, she has a lazy and natural beauty, but she is very beautiful and aggressive.

The woman is incompatible with the background of the room, but it is strange, forming a beautiful picture.
