Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Everyone held their breath and listened attentively to Shangguan Lan's words.

Except Zhou Xiaoxi.

She finally understood Shangguan Lan's series of strange behaviors after coming to the village, but it was hard for her to feel involved. She even felt a strong sense of sadness, which seemed to come from another person, probably the residual soul of the original owner. She was just a bystander.

Even though her true identity was the youngest daughter of the Shangguan family, the real Zhou Xiaoxi had long since passed away. She was like an outsider, occupying the shell of this body.

She looked at the people present with some pity and sighed heavily in her heart: The girl you have been thinking about is no longer here!

Yang Zian accidentally glanced at Zhou Xiaoxi and saw that she looked very confused. Xiaoxi did not seem happy.

The truth was about to be revealed, and Shangguan Lan's heartbeat began to accelerate involuntarily. He said:

"It was a scene of a cat catching a butterfly embroidered with gold thread. My mother said that my sister was so fascinated by the scene while she was still in her cradle that she drew a picture of it."

Li slowly sat back in her seat and looked at Zhou Xiaoxi with a complicated look.

Yes, so many coincidences added together, doesn't that mean the truth? She learned the embroidery skill from the pattern on Xiaoxi's dress. She pondered for a long time and finally got the hang of it.

Such a good daughter, whom I have worked so hard to raise for twelve years, is she going to give her up to someone else? The other party is obviously of noble status, and Xiaoxi will only suffer hardships if she follows me. She can't be selfish and try to keep the child with me.

Thinking of this, Li got up and went back to her room, and found a small bundle from the bottom of the closet. She slowly opened it, picked up the slightly dirty little dress, and looked at it carefully.

At that time, I had never seen such precious material before. I didn't dare to wash it for fear of damaging it, so I kept it carefully.

She confirmed the pattern embroidered on the collar of her dress again and again - a cat catching a butterfly, it couldn't be clearer. At that time, she felt that Xiaoxi's biological mother must love her very much and would never abandon her.

But after waiting for so many years, no one came to look for her, and she had long regarded Xiaoxi as her own daughter.

Oh, God really plays tricks on us!

Back in the main hall, everyone looked at Li.

At this moment Zhou Xiaoxi said:

"Mom, we'll look at the food later. It doesn't matter this little bit of time. The food is getting cold. Let's finish our meal first."

Seeing Zhou Xiaoxi's calm expression, Shangguan Lan felt a little panicked. Could it be that his sister didn't want to return to their family at all?

She still feels resentful!

He sat back in his seat with some bitterness and said:

"Sister... Xiaoxi is right. Let's eat first. We don't need to waste time."

Zhou Xiaoxi didn't know what he was thinking just now, but he suddenly felt homesick.

She doesn't like this kind of change without warning, there are still many things waiting for her to do here. Every day is full of expectations, life is fulfilling and beautiful.

All she needed to do was build the big house of her dreams, and then the life she had always longed for but never reached in her previous life would come true!

The capital city was too far away from her. She was just an ordinary citizen and could not become a lady from a wealthy family.

When things were completely out of his control, Zhou Xiaoxi felt only fear.

In the end, everyone finished the meal without tasting the food. Zhao and the others cleaned up the dishes quickly, and Li spread out the bundle in front of everyone.

Shangguan Lan was sure at a glance. He said:

"Can you please step aside for a moment? I have something to say to Xiaoxi, her grandmother, and her mother."

It seems that there is more accurate evidence, but Shangguan Lan is not in a position to tell outsiders.

Several people left the main room and stood in the yard without saying a word.

"Mr. Shangguan, do you have anything else to say?" Zhao had calmed down and was the first to speak.

"My mother also said that my sister has a very round and beautiful cinnabar mole in the middle of her chest, like a ruby. My father said that although my sister is a girl, she has great ambitions and will definitely be a remarkable woman in the future. But I didn't expect that she would have such an unfortunate fate."

Zhao once teased Zhou Xiaoxi, saying that there was a cinnabar mole in the middle of her chest and that she would definitely be a lovesick person in the future. She just smiled at that time and didn't take it to heart at all.

She had lived through a lifetime, was sober and rational, how could she be a lovesick person! In her previous life, she had never even had a proper relationship. Whenever she felt something was not right, she would immediately withdraw without dragging her feet.

"I do have a cinnabar mole on my chest. It seems that I might really be the person you are looking for."

If it was in the previous life, Zhou Xiaoxi could just pull down her collar to show it to the other person, because the mole was located about three fingers below the collarbone. If it was in the summer, it would be easily exposed.

But now, she would probably be considered a lunatic! So she didn't make any move.

Shangguan Lan was filled with great joy, but also with confusion and anxiety. He racked his brains to make Zhou Xiaoxi feel his sincerity.

"Xiaoxi, sister, our whole family has been looking for you so hard! Wuuwuwu... Mom's eyes are hurt from crying all these years! And big brother, although he didn't say it, the biggest reason he joined the Ministry of Justice was so that it would be easier to find you. Wuuwuwu..."

He found a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his nose and tears, and continued:

"My family built the most beautiful house for you, and put a lot of good things in it. When I was little, I sneaked in because I was greedy and planned to steal a few things. As a result, my father beat me and I couldn't get out of bed for three days. Wuuwuwu... Every year during the month of your birthday, the whole family eats vegetarian food, even the servants are no exception. When I was little, I was so greedy that I sneaked out to buy meat. As a result, I was beaten again and couldn't get out of bed for several days, wuuwuwu..."

The first part of the story was quite touching, but the latter part became more and more funny. A grown man was not ashamed, and his crying became louder and louder.

Zhou Xiaoxi had the illusion that this brother was eager to find her home, mainly for his own good life...

"Second brother, you are so anxious to find me to go back, do you not want to be a vegetarian anymore?"

When Shangguan Lan heard Zhou Xiaoxi calling him "second brother" again, he didn't have time to be happy because he was choked by the words that followed and started hiccuping.

Uh, uh, what nonsense! Uh, that's just a side benefit!

Li Dali, who was standing in the yard, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Xiaoxi, you are so right, ahahaha...ah~"

Li Lanxiang was a little embarrassed, so she stretched out her hand and twisted her man's arm. She twisted it a little too hard, and Li Dali's last laugh was instantly interrupted.

He looked at his wife with great resentment, but couldn't bear to be mean to her, so he could only watch her with grievance and said nothing.

Li Daniu couldn't help but roll his eyes. His father was so clingy!

After everyone sat down again, Zhou Xiaoxi finally made up his mind and said:

"Brother, I have no intention of going back to the capital with you. Xiangxue Village is my home and I can't give it up."
