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

It was the first time he met such a person. She didn't seem to consider what others said and just blindly believed what she thought.

"Is there nothing you want to know, sir?" He was actually very curious as to why she had been so calm and hadn't asked any questions after she had been in there for so long.

"Master, you actually asked me to come here. Aren't you going to tell me something? I don't believe you asked me to come here just to drink tea." After saying that, he picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.

After drinking it, he unconsciously picked up the teapot in front of Lingyin and poured himself another cup.

"The layman is quite free and easy."

"You can't live without worries for long. Living freely like this is just following your own temperament."

Lingyin secretly pulled the corner of his mouth. How could he hear that there was some other meaning in these words?

"I was the one who sent you away back then."

"Well, I know. Tell me something I don't know!"

"I don't know. I can't tell you now."

"Oh, then I'll be leaving first." Leng Youran didn't have any intention of staying. He finished drinking the water in the tea bowl, stood up and wanted to leave.

Lingyin's face, which had remained unchanged for many years, gradually began to crack.

This, this is different from what he thought?

Shouldn't she ask twice more?

Seeing that she really left without any regrets, he finally couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry."

Leng Youran paused slightly, but continued walking outside without looking back.

On the way here just now, she had thought that the separation of her soul must be very complicated. When she saw Lingyin today, the feeling became even stronger.

Especially the apology he just said out of nowhere. She knew she couldn't get anything out of him today, but it didn't matter anymore. She might as well just accept it.

What's more, she didn't travel through time to another world, but returned.

Since that's the case, she should just enjoy the present moment!

When she returned to Mr. Leng's room, they had already packed up and were standing at the door waiting for her.

The old man in the lead was dressed in coarse linen clothes. If she didn't know who he was, she would have thought he was just an old man farming in the countryside.

"Grandfather, may you be well." Leng Youran bowed as he had just done to Old Madam Leng.

Old Master Leng quickly supported her and said, "Good girl, I'm sorry for putting you through this."

Leng Youran raised his head and smiled slightly, "It's okay, everything is fine."

Old Master Leng didn't say anything.

it is good?

how can that be possible?

They all knew back then that if this child came back, he would definitely die.

Although they didn't know how the child died, how could a person be in a good mood when facing death!

“Go home!”

The group of people walked towards the capital in a mighty procession.

Leng Youran didn't say anything on the way back this time. Because she didn't get any signal from Hua Qinrou, she continued to pretend.

As for why, I believe she will know soon.

"Grandmaster."

Lingyin looked at the man who came out from behind the screen.

"Well, did you hear that?"

"Ah."

"Then you should know what's going to happen next. How come you still have time to chat with the old Taoist?"

"We've been preparing for this for so long, there's no need to rush."

"Hey, kid. Come on, get down the mountain!"

The man also drank a glass of water and turned to leave.

When I was almost at the door, I couldn't help but turn around and say, "Take care."

The man did not wait for an answer, nor did he force it. He turned and walked away quickly.

Lingyin looked at the two empty teacups in front of him, shook his head and chuckled.

"interesting."

Leng Youran, who returned to the mansion, had no idea what had just happened on the mountain, because she heard bad news as soon as she returned home.

"I want to leave?"

"Yes, child, I know this is difficult for you, but some big things will happen in the capital city soon, so you must leave first." Old Master Leng said earnestly.

When everyone else in the room heard him say this, they all lowered their heads silently, including her second brother Leng Yuze, whom she met for the first time after returning.

They seemed to have known this would happen, but when Leng Youran heard the news, an inexplicable emotion flashed through his heart.

"When?"

Old Master Leng looked at his granddaughter who had just returned. She was neither crying nor asking for the reason, so he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

"The sooner the better."

"Okay, I will listen to my grandfather."

Leng Youran already knew that something must have changed after her return, so she accepted her family's arrangement.

"Tonight we will announce to the public that Second Miss Leng fell into the water yesterday and passed away today after seeking medical help. The four maids around you followed you because they were too grief-stricken to bear it."

"Okay." Leng Youran responded straightforwardly.

That night, the Shangshu Mansion hoisted the white sail.

The news of Miss Leng Er's death spread like wildfire.

At this time, Leng Youran had been taken out of the house by the four maids around her. It was also at this time that Leng Youran realized that the maids around her who looked so unreliable actually knew martial arts.

"Your subordinate is happy."

"I am happy."

"Subordinates, hurry up."

"My subordinate Lele."

"See Master."

Leng Youran looked at the four people kneeling on one knee below. The aura on them was completely different from before. If their faces were not the same as before, Leng Youran would have thought that the four of them had also been possessed.

"rise."

"Thank you, Master."

"Tell me about it!"

Following the instructions of the other three, Huanhuan briefly explained what had happened.

The general meaning is that the four of them were recruited into the Leng family since they were young. On weekdays, they took care of her food, clothing and daily life like other maids, but they also had some training that others didn't know about.

This is what most aristocratic families call secret guards.

Huanhuan is mature and steady.

Xixi is very concerned.

Kuai Kuai's lightness skills are excellent.

Lele, um, well, looks festive.

"puff...."

After listening to Huanhuan's evaluation of Lele, Leng Youran couldn't help but chuckle.

"Master, this is wrong. Why are you so meticulous when Huanhuan talks about others, but when it comes to me, you have such an indescribable expression?"

Leng Youran tightened her lips, "Honestly, I think Huanhuan's review isn't quite spot on. If I were to say so, you should be the type who looks harmless, but...how do I put it?"

"Master, I know, I know. Is it popular?" Lele answered without giving others a chance to speak.

"Cough cough cough...."

“Puff…”

Her braiding caused a burst of laughter, which also eased the somewhat dull atmosphere.

"Okay, it's okay if you say so." Mainly because she was too embarrassed to directly say that the girl was vulgar.

Besides, it has to be said that it is good to have such a happy person around.

"Okay, I want to know how much you know about what happens next."
