Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Her intuition told her that Chong'er was so mysterious because of the gift.

"Then let's go in and wait. I feel like you're about to break the threshold of Leng Chengfeng's house." Li Tianze teased.

Leng Youran glanced at him sideways in annoyance and said angrily, "Yes, I am a rich girl. Isn't it normal for a rich girl to break the door?"

Li Tianze smiled and said, "Well, it's priceless."

Leng Youran poked his chest lightly with her finger and said, "You're the only one who talks too much. Okay, let's go back and wait!"

The two returned to the room and changed the tea pot after pot. Finally, when their patience was almost exhausted, Leng Chengfeng came back with Hua Zian and the others.

Perhaps in order to avoid being recognized on the street, Hua Zian and Zhao Chongqing were dressed in black and covered their faces with black cloaks.

As soon as the two men entered the house, they took off their hats.

Leng Youran met the two of them and looked at them carefully. He was relieved to see that they had no other scars except some dust on their bodies.

"Is the journey tough?" This question was directed at Zhao Chongqing. This kid had been staying in the north except for the past two years when he was running around outside. It was unknown whether he could get used to the bumpy roads.

"Aunt Leng, Uncle Li, I'm not as fragile as you think."

On the way here, he was worried that the path he was about to take would cause estrangement between him and them.

Now it seems that he was overthinking it.

The two still treated him as before.

"Yes, yes, Chong'er has grown up. By the way, how about you, cousin? Are you not feeling well?"

Hua Zian, who was left aside, saw that his cousin finally turned her attention to him, and curled his lips slightly, "Oh, you remember that you have a cousin like me? I thought you only had eyes for Chong'er!"

The two of them came in together.

After coming in, the two of them kept their eyes on Chong'er, not paying any attention to him.

Seeing him like this, Leng Youran knew that he was deliberately joking with them.

She nudged him with her arm and said jokingly, "I can't help it. You're Chong'er's uncle after all. I saw Chong'er was fine, so I thought my cousin shouldn't be any big deal either."

Hua Zian gently tapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Okay, no need to explain."

After a pause, he continued, "Chong'er has something to tell you."

"What?" The two looked at Zhao Chongqing suspiciously.

I saw Zhao Chongqing bending down at some point.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Leng, thank you for your hard work for this kid." Zhao Chongqing bowed deeply to them solemnly.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze stepped forward and helped him up.

"Silly child, we should be the ones to say sorry, or should we..."

Zhao Chongqing shook his head. "No, Aunt Leng, in fact, I have never forgotten revenge in these years. Now that you have done it for me, I really don't know what to do..."

Li Tianze put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Then don't say anything. Just do your best. Remember, we will be your strong backing."

These words made Zhao Chongqing's eyes red.

How many years has it been since he heard these words?

He vaguely remembered that his father had once said something like this.

"Good boy, you can do whatever you want now. Your father will always be your backup. But you must remember not to do anything that harms the people or that humiliates the royal family..."

His thoughts drifted away.

The four people in the room also fell silent.

Hua Zian and Li Tianze both remembered the prince who was once extremely talented.

Thinking of him...

The atmosphere in the entire room became gloomy.

After a while, Zhao Chongqing was the first to come back to his senses, "Yes, Chong'er will remember it."

Leng Youran noticed that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this as a family. Come on, you must be hungry. Let's eat first and talk while we eat."

Seeing her say this, Hua Zian raised his hand and said, "No hurry, we haven't even looked at the gifts we brought yet!"

"Why can't we look at the gifts? You've been traveling all the way, you should take a rest first. You still have things to do at night!" Leng Youran was an impatient person. As he spoke, he pulled the two of them towards the cafeteria.

"Auntie Leng, don't be anxious. Let's go and see the gifts first." Zhao Chongqing exerted a little force to hold her back.

Leng Youran glanced at the smiling Hua Zian, then at the serious Zhao Chongqing, then turned back and met Li Tianze's gaze. "Shall we go take a look first?"

Li Tianze nodded.

As soon as they arrived in the backyard, they heard a sharp female voice.

"Xiao Cui, you are such a heartless person. I am your sister, your biological sister. You actually conspired with outsiders to murder your biological sister and nephew. Remember, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost. I will not let you go."

Along with her curses, there was also the creaking sound of the woodshed door being shaken.

"Sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry. If you feel sorry for me, just let me go. As long as you let me go, I will pretend that this incident never happened."

The woman outside the woodshed shook her head and stammered for a long time without saying a word.

"Liar, you are a liar. It's all my fault that I was blind and believed you." The woman continued to roar.

After hearing the commotion here, everyone did not come forward.

Both she and Li Tianze recognized the person standing at the door of the woodshed.

And they also heard clearly the conversation between the two people just now.

Leng Youran looked at Zhao Chongqing and Hua Zian with confusion, "Cousin, Chong'er, what's going on with Aunt Cui and Yan Niang?"

"Aunt Leng, let's go back and talk!" Zhao Chongqing originally wanted her to come over and see them, but he didn't expect Aunt Cui to be there too.

He had already arranged for her to rest, but he never expected...

The few of them walked back to the yard. This time, Leng Youran ignored their objections and asked Leng Chengfeng to bring the food to their yard.

A few people chatted while eating.

"This matter has to go back to before we came here..."

They learned this from Zhao Chongqing's words.

This happened a few months ago. Cui'er probably originally planned to look for her relatives, but unexpectedly she met Qin Sui'an, who got along well with her, in the city.

"So you sensed something was wrong right from the start?"

Hua Zian nodded and said, "I knew it a long time ago. Yuze told me about Yan Niang, and before that..." He looked at Li Tianze without saying anything, and Leng Youran understood what he meant.

I knew he was talking about Leng Yucheng being captured before.

"Then how did Chong'er know?"

Hua Zian smiled and patted Zhao Chongqing on the shoulder. "Don't underestimate Chong'er. He realized something was wrong on the first day. Yuze and I had originally planned not to tell him, after all, Aunt Cui and his relationship... But Chong'er found us himself and expressed his doubts, so we told him the whole story."
