Perhaps Mu Shan had buried this past in his heart for too long, and today he finally found someone he could talk to, so Mu Shan gradually started to talk.

The brother and sister spent a long time living in hunger and satiety. They could not see the direction of the future clearly, nor could they find the way to the future.

That time, they had not eaten for almost four days, the wind was freezing, their clothes were thin, and the weather was bad, as if it wanted to kill them all, with heavy snow.

The two of them huddled in a corner, waiting to die.

Just as they were about to close their eyes and run towards the fire in their dream to eat, Luo Mian saved them.

Afterwards, they joined the secret guards and worked for Luo Mian.

About three years ago, a woman named Xinglin joined the Dark Guard and completely changed the lives of the two siblings.

Xinglin is very beautiful and lively, with a quirky personality, which makes her very likable. Soon after joining the Dark Guard, she became friends with everyone.

The spark of love between men and women is a common thing.

At that time, Mu Shan had become the leader of the secret guards. After countless contacts, Mu Shan fell in love with Xing Lin.

At this point, Liu Qing’s nightmare truly began.

Most people who fall in love don't use their brains very well, let alone Mu Shan who has never had any emotional experience?

As a bystander and a woman, Liu Qing's sixth sense accurately told her that there was something wrong with Xinglin, but she did not say anything and only told Mu Shan.

But Mu Shan's reaction was extremely intense, as if he was very disappointed with Liu Qing.

Liu Qing just watched helplessly as his own brother accused her of sowing discord, saying that she was vicious and cruel, and that she was a mean person and a jealous woman.

That was the first time Mu Shan scolded Liu Qing without any restrained words.

Afterwards, Xinglin acted gentle and kind in front of others, but spread rumors and slandered Liu Qing behind their backs. When they were alone, Xinglin would show her true colors and insult Liu Qing.

Liu Qing was a loner by nature, so she could only seek help from her biological brother Mu Shan again and again. However, all she got in return was Mu Shan's scolding, criticism and questioning.

Afterwards, with Xinglin's efforts, Mu Shan completely turned against Liu Qing and even slapped Liu Qing twice in front of everyone.

During that time, Liu Qing kept to herself and even fell into a vortex of self-doubt. Was she destined to freeze to death on the street that year and only survived by luck? So was God's punishment for her to have a life full of pain from now on?

Should she die?

The final breaking point between the two was a dinner party.

The relationship between the two broke down completely because of a fierce argument over whether to eat Xinglin's favorite braised crucian carp or Liu Qing's favorite spicy chicken.

Liu Qingxin was as dead as a pool of water. She found Luo Mian and asked to go to Jinlin Kingdom. She just wanted to escape. Luo Mian nodded and agreed without asking any questions.

What about Luo Mian? Doesn't he know what happened in the secret guard?

Of course he knew. Ever since Xinglin 'accidentally' joined the Dark Guard, he knew there was something wrong with Xinglin, so he took advantage of the situation and wanted to find out who was behind it.

Unexpectedly, Xinglin conquered Mu Shan...

In the end, Xinglin's undercover identity was exposed and she was fed to Ao Quan by Luo Mian, and Mu Shan's status as leader was revoked.

Mu Shan finally came to his senses, but it was too late.

After listening to this, Chunzhi blinked and looked at Mushan.

Liu Qing, who was far away, listened to Mu Shan's story in silence, and the scar in her heart began to ache again.

Mu Shan sighed: "That's it, I am sorry for her."

After a long while, Chun Zhi looked up at Mu Shan, who was a head taller than him, and said, "Mu Shan, lower your head. I have something to tell you."

Mu Shan lowered his head in confusion.

Chunzhi raised his hand and slapped him twice.

"These two slaps are for Liu Qing!"

"You're not worthy of being her brother!"

"You're crazy! If I were Liu Qing, I would never forgive you in my life!"

Chunzhi had nothing in his mind at that time. The only instruction in his brain was: slap him twice.

The moment the fight was over, Liu Qing flashed from a distance between the two of them. Liu Qing's sudden appearance made Mu Shan ignore the pain on his face.

"lightly!"

Chunzhi didn't expect that Liu Qing could be summoned out with just two slaps?

"Where...where are you from?"

Liu Qing had a jade pendant around her waist that Chun Zhi had given her. It was dark green in color, and it suited her temperament very well.

Chunzhi was surrounded in Liuqing's arms, and he felt instantly safe.

"Don't look for Chunzhi again."

"Don't mention the past anymore!"

"From the day I went to Jinlin Country, you and I have nothing to do with each other anymore."

After Liu Qing finished speaking, he ignored Mu Shan's attempts to keep her and disappeared into the crowd, pulling Chun Zhi along.

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve.

On this year's New Year's Eve, the atmosphere in the Shen Mansion was not good because Shen Runing was going to marry Luo Mosheng after the new year.

Lanterns, couplets, blessing characters, and bright red silk were all present, and the decorations were the same as in previous years. However, the Shen Mansion seemed to be covered with a layer of gray gauze, which made it look festive but not transparent.

Shen Runing has been in a good mood since the Lantern Festival.

Chunzhi and Qiuzhi had already changed into the new clothes that Shen Runing bought for them.

Qiuzhi was wearing a lake blue single-piece gauze dress that reached her chest, and on each of her buns on her head, she wore a red coral bead flower, which made her look very cute.

Chunzhi was wearing a lilac-colored brocade dress with a double-breasted collar, and two silver-pearl crabapple silk flowers on her buns, giving her the feeling of a lotus in clear water.

Shen Rumeng was particularly happy to see the two little girls so pretty.

In this life, they finally no longer suffer.

"Oh, the spring and autumn solstice are so beautiful today." Shen Rumeng said with a smile.

They were both a little shy.

"Oh, miss!"

Today, there are more osmanthus petals in the basin than usual, almost covering the entire surface of the basin.

Chunzhi dipped the jade comb in the basin, then combed Shen Runing's hair.

Under Chunzhi's skillful hands, Shen Runing's hair was piled with green, her rings jingled, and there were pearl flowers inserted on both sides of her hair. The petals were dotted with countless pearls, trembling gently.

She was wearing a maroon brocade satin long dress with a vertical collar and a front opening, which matched the maroon earrings. She looked as beautiful as if she had walked out of a painting.

In addition to New Year's gifts, Shen Runing also prepared red envelopes of one hundred taels for each person. Unsurprisingly, among the noble families, it would be rare to find a master who gave a maid a red envelope of one hundred taels in the New Year in eight hundred years.

"Oh, Miss! That's a lot of money!" Qiu Zhi happily spun around: "How many persimmon cakes can I buy with this!"

Although Chunzhi was also very happy, she was more stable than Qiuzhi.

"Thank you, Miss."

Shen Runing looked at the beams and then at the window.

"Liu Qing?"

Liu Qing jumped in from the window.

"Miss."

Shen Runing handed the red paper bag containing silver to Liu Qing. Liu Qing was stunned and suddenly didn't know what to do.

"Miss, this...is there any share for me?"

Shen Runing felt that this sentence was particularly distressing.

"Miss, didn't you buy me clothes? You don't need to give me a red envelope."

Shen Runing felt that Liu Qing at this moment was very much like a stray dog ​​that had been at a loss when it met someone who rescued it.

This was the first time Liu Qing received a red envelope, the first time in more than ten years.

"Take it." Shen Runing smiled gently, and the iceberg in Liu Qing's heart had begun to melt unconsciously.

"Well, okay, miss." Liu Qing gently took the red envelope and carefully hid it in his pocket as if it were a treasure.

"Um, Chunzhi..." After receiving the red envelope, Liu Qing looked at Chunzhi.

Chunzhi quickly covered his pockets: "What are you doing? Are you trying to steal my money?"

?

No, sister?
