Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Xia Liang and Yan Xuan walked into Fang's house and were warmly welcomed by the Fang family.

Erya and Sanya lived with Fang in the Fang family. They had grown taller, their skin had become fairer, and they were dressed the same as Fang Qianqian, a daughter of the Fang family. Several other women from the Flying Tigers stayed to work at the Fang family, and the Fang family hired a tutor to teach the four girls, including Lao Jin's daughter Zhuzhu.

When Erya and Sanya saw Xia Liang, their eyes, which had been running around the house lively just now, became red in an instant, and they hugged Xia Liang on both sides and refused to let go.

Fang Qianqian and Zhuzhu held hands and looked at each other, then found a handkerchief to wipe the tears of the two little sisters.

Xia Liang gestured at the heights of his two younger sisters and said with emotion: "Oh, this one will soon be taller than his older sister."

Erya pouted and said aggrievedly: "Even if you are taller than me, you are still our sister."

Sanya said few words but her words were classic: "I can be a sister and protect her."

Yan Xuan, who was standing by, laughed out loud after hearing this.

Erya and Sanya all looked at him and asked, "Are you going to be our brother-in-law soon?"

Yan Xuan's old face turned red. To be honest, he was eighteen years old this year, and it was time for him to get married and have children. But right now, Xia Liang cared more about her sister, and probably he had no time to think about getting married in the past two years.

After Bai Lingyi was informed by the servant, he hurried back from the academy. The first thing he said when he saw Xia Liang was, "Where is my sister Luo Yu? Why didn't she come back with Miss Xia?"

These are the questions that everyone in the Fang family, young and old, wants to ask, but it is most difficult for Miss Xia to reunite with her two younger sisters first.

After hearing this, Xia Liang asked the children to leave the front hall first and sat upright by himself. He did not even drink a sip of the snacks and sweet soup that Fang had someone bring him.

Bai Lingyi intuitively felt that the atmosphere was not right, and he clenched his fists even tighter.

Aside from the eldest uncle, who had left town to inspect branches in other prefectures, the entire Fang family, young and old, gathered in the front hall, awaiting news from Xia Liang. No one dared to rush her, no one dared to say a word. After all, seeing the frozen expression on Miss Xia's face, devoid of any joy, everyone knew it was bad news.

Seeing everyone staring at her, Xia Liang was so nervous that she didn't know how to start.

Fang sat next to her, took her hand and stroked it gently.

"Don't be afraid, Xia'er. Mother can handle it."

Xia Liang was stunned, looking at Fang's gentle face, and the words in his throat could not be uttered.

Bai Lingyi couldn't help but ask, "Miss Xia, has something happened to my sister? The emperor has passed away. Has my sister also been plotted to be killed by someone in the palace?"

Old Master Fang quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense, you little brat. Who is your sister Luo Yu? She is protected by the Dragon God. How could she die so easily?"

Xia Liang's throat was stuck for too long, and his voice was very hoarse: "My sister is really dead."

The teacup that Mr. Fang was holding suddenly shook, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound and shattered.

The expressions of the others suddenly changed. Some were in disbelief, some were dazed, and some, like Fang, were completely still.

After a long while, Fang opened her mouth slightly and said, "Xia'er, are you joking?"

Xia Liang shook his head and whispered, "My sister died of poisoning."

Bai Lingyi was startled and ran away. Fortunately, Yan Xuan had already noticed that something was wrong with him, so he quickly caught him and pinned him to the ground.

Bai Lingyi's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will go and avenge my sister."

Yan Xuan said angrily: "Who can you seek revenge on in this state? Besides, it's not your turn to seek revenge."

Bai Lingyi glared at him fiercely, like an angry little wolf.

"I'm her brother, why can't I avenge her? If it's not my turn, will you go and avenge her? If you can avenge her, why would you leave the palace?"

Xia Liang stood up, squatted down in front of Bai Lingyi, touched his head and said, "Who are you seeking revenge on? Do you think you can just enter the palace whenever you want? Do you want to kill the Regent or the Queen Mother? Or everyone in the palace?"

Bai Lingyi couldn't hear anything at all. His lips had been bitten and were bleeding.

"I'm going to kill Zhu Jinyou."

Xia Liang held his chin in his hand and snorted coldly: "I have thought about this, but I am afraid that Sister Luo Yu would be upset if she knew about it in the afterlife."

After hearing these words, Bai Lingyi calmed down.

Old Master Fang quickly called several servants and asked them to tie up Bai Lingyi and lock him up in his bedroom. Who knows if he might suddenly become depressed and sneak into the palace to assassinate someone?

Bai Lingyi resisted desperately, and Fang Shi couldn't stop crying. After her tears dried, she stood up and said, "Father, Mother, Yi'er and I are willing to go to the imperial city in the name of the Bai family to seek justice for Luo Yu. She can't die inexplicably, alone in that dark palace."

When Xia Liang heard this, he realized that the mother and daughter really treated Sister Luo Yu as their own family member and didn't even care about their own lives.

"Mother, neither you nor Yi'er can go. Going there will only lead to death. The man in the palace who killed Sister Luo'er is no simple man. There's no rush for revenge. Miss Qin has her own way. Besides, the military power is in her hands now. She will definitely fight for justice for Sister."

Bai Lingyi's tears and snot mixed together. When he heard the words "Miss Qin", he wiped his nose and said to Fang, "Mother, I want to go to Blackwater City in the northwest and guard the northwest with Brother Bingrui. One day, Brother Bingrui and I will avenge my sister."

Fang didn't think much about it and nodded repeatedly: "A good man has ambitions to go far and wide. Go ahead, I won't stop you."

Xia Liang thought, she could not tell other people, but could she secretly tell Fang and Bai Lingyi that her sister Luo Yu was not dead yet?

Just as I was thinking about something, a servant came to report that a man who called himself Master Murong was outside the door and wanted to see Miss Xia.

Xia Liang jumped up. Young Master Murong actually knew that she was at the Fang family. Was he following her again?

As she was crossing the threshold, she turned back and asked Yan Xuan and the servants to tie up Bai Lingyi, so that this kid would not really run away to Blackwater City. Brother Bingrui didn't have time to take care of a little brat now.

Fang followed Xia Liang to the main entrance, only to see the handsome and tall Mr. Murong leading a plump, fair-skinned girl. Mr. Murong hadn't changed much except for his darker skin. The girl, however, stared at the Fang family's gate with a serious expression. The moment she saw Xia Liang and Fang, her eyes flickered slightly.

Xia Liang instinctively sensed that this woman was no ordinary person. Coincidentally, the plump white girl's right hand emerged from her sleeve and made a few simple hand gestures: the numbers six and eight, an OK, and a V. Xia Liang's mouth dropped open, her heart nearly leaping into her throat. She stared blankly at Master Murong, then at the plump white girl, and after a long pause, she asked, "Master Murong, who is this girl?"

Fang found Xia Liang's behavior very strange, and then looked at the plump white girl. Although it was the first time she saw her, she felt an unusual sense of familiarity.

"This is Miss Su Xiaoxiao, my fiancée."

"Oh!"
