Return of the Phoenix Lady

"Brother Yun, do you think Qinglian is pretty?"

"..."

"Brother Yun, tell me! Are you shy?"

“...Xing'er! Stop messing around!” Liu Hanyun was a little angry.

That Qinglian was quite good, wearing silk sandals, a tortoise-shell headdress, flowing silk waist, and moon-shaped earlobes. Her fingers were like scallion roots, her mouth was like red cinnabar, and she walked with delicate steps. She was indeed a stunning beauty in ancient times, but she had a very high opinion of herself and was not just a potential stock.

"I'm not kidding! Brother, do you like her? If you do, just buy her to be your concubine. After all, you are the second young master of the Liu family. It's her blessing to be favored by you!" Han Xing said seriously.

Liu Hanyun didn't know what was wrong with him. Anyway, he felt very sad when he heard Han Xing say that, and his usual smile disappeared from his face. "Xing'er, if you keep messing around, I'll ignore you!"

Seeing that Liu Hanyun was really angry, Han Xing stopped teasing him and said in a flattering tone, "Alright, alright, Brother Yun, I was wrong, isn't that okay? Xing'er won't say nonsense anymore. Please don't be angry, okay?"

When Liu Hanyun saw Han Xing give in, the anger in his heart disappeared without a trace. He said helplessly: "Ah... I really can't do anything about you. I think only your mother can control you."

"Knock knock knock...Xing'er, are you there?" Chu Xiang'er's voice came from outside the door.

"Here I am! Mother, please come in!"

"Um... Yun'er is here too! Haha! What are you guys doing?"

Liu Hanyun's face immediately turned red again. Looking at her shy look, someone who didn't know her would think she was doing something unknown!

"It's... getting late. Er Niang can chat with Xing'er! I'm going to rest first..." Liu Hanyun almost ran away.

"What's going on?" Chu Xiang'er asked curiously.

"Haha! It's okay! It's okay! Mother, what do you want to talk to me about?" Han Xing quickly changed the subject and joked that if his mother knew that he and Brother Yun went to a brothel together, he would be scolded to death.

"Oh...it's like this, Xing'er, you haven't been to your grandfather's house yet! Yesterday, your third mother specially asked your father for us to go back together to take a look. What do you think?" Chu Xiang'er said with a smile on her face.

"Mom, but I heard from Xiaoqing that grandpa and the others are not good to you, and grandma..." Han Xing said carefully.

"Xiao Qing, why am I telling you all this? Grandpa treats me and your grandma badly, but no matter what, that is my home! So, I still have to go back and take a look, even though they don't like me, and your grandma is still there! I also want to take you back to see your grandma. After all, I have only been back once since I got married here..." Chu Xiang'er's eyes flashed with longing.

Han Xing felt a little strange. When did Meiruo become so kind and even plead for her mother? There must be a conspiracy...

He remained calm and said, "Okay! Mother, we'll go wherever you say! Haha!"

Chu Xiang'er touched Han Xing's little face with relief and said, "My dear Xing'er, you are so good! By the way, you have to be nicer to your Sanniang in the future, okay? After all, she is your father's favorite person, so you have to respect her. Besides, she is helping mother go back to visit relatives, so don't be rude to her anymore, okay?"

Oh... Mom, you are too naive! Just because someone gives you a piece of candy, you think they are a good person.

Han Xing still responded with a smile: "I know, mother! Xing'er will pay attention to it." As long as she doesn't come to make me angry, I won't bother her for the time being.

"Sister, Xing'er, you have to come back early, okay? Now that Yang'er is gone, I don't have anyone to talk to in this house except you. You must come back early, okay?" He Shuhui said, holding Chu Xiang'er's hand.

"Xing'er, Second Mother, you must come back early! I'm waiting for you! I won't go with you. After all, I'm just an outsider. You must be careful on the road! Remember to come back early!" Liu Hanyun said reluctantly.

"Got it! Auntie, Brother Yun, we will be back soon, don't worry! I will protect mother, and you guys should take care of yourself too!"

"Yes! Sister, you don't have to worry about us. It's just a trip back home, what could go wrong? You have to take good care of yourself. Since Yang'er left, you've been in a much worse state of mind. I can see it and I'm worried! In fact, you can go find Meiruo. She's not that bad. Look, she even went out of her way to help me go back!"

"Hey...sister, why are you so naive? People are treacherous. She might have some conspiracy if she asked you to go back!" He Shuhui is the daughter of a general, so naturally she is much more cautious than the average person. I forgot to mention that she is also a magician, currently a first-level magician.

"Madam, it's getting late, we should leave!" Xiao Qing reminded from the side.

"Well, let's go!"

I thought it was just a small separation from everyone, but it turned out to be a big farewell; it was just a small episode in life, but it became a major turning point in Han Xing's destiny.

Lianmeiyuan

A low voice was heard from a dark room somewhere.

"It doesn't matter how much money you ask for, just help me kill those people!" The gentle female voice was cold.

"Haha! Madam is so generous! Okay! One price, 100 gold coins!" A hoarse male voice laughed sinisterly.

"You...Okay! 100 gold coins is 100 gold coins, but you have to promise me that you will not leave a single person alive! Otherwise, you will not have a good life. You also know that I am now the most beloved woman of Prime Minister Liu. He is no worse than you. If I say something about you, will he let you go?" The woman said gritting her teeth.

"Hmph... I, Luosha, always keep my word. Here are the 100 gold coins!"

"Can't you kill them first and then I'll give you the money?"

"Hmph... Do you think I'm a fool? What if you default on your debt? If you don't pay now, the deal will fail!" the man snorted coldly.

“...Okay! I’ll give it to you! Humph…” The woman took out a gold card from her bosom and handed it to the man.

The man put away the gold card, took out a piece of brown paper from his pocket, handed it to the woman, and said, "Sign it!"

"what is this?"

"Contract! If you don't sign it, I can't help you, and I won't return the money to you." The man said proudly.

"What? You...you're going too far!" the woman said angrily.

"You don't want to sign? Forget it! I'm leaving." The man was about to walk out.

"Wait! Okay! I...I'll sign!" the woman said angrily.

"That's right! Haha!" The man left proudly with the signed contract.

The woman stood quietly in the room for a while, calming herself down before walking out. Her delicate and beautiful face gleamed in the sunlight, but the sunlight could not reach the dark corners of her heart.

"Mom! Mom! So you are here! Yue'er can't find you anywhere, where did you go?" Liu Hanyue asked curiously.

"Yue'er is here. It's okay. I just went out for a walk and was about to go back! Why did you come here?" Meiruo looked at Liu Hanyue lovingly.

"Oh...it's Daddy! He saw you were not here, so he came out to look for you."

"Is that so! Then let's go back quickly! Don't let your father worry!" After saying that, Mei Ruo pulled Liu Hanyue away.
