Jieyuhua patted Lingxiao's back and said softly, "What are you thinking about? Silly boy, to me, you are more important than anyone else."

He was more afraid of his children leaving than of them leaving him; he had experienced that feeling once and that was enough.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard house, Ling Xiao started shouting that he refused to sleep with Xie Yuhua anymore. The reason was that on his way back, he saw lanterns hanging in front of other people's houses, which reminded him of the fried hawthorn fruit he hadn't eaten that night. He felt angry and didn't want to see Xie Yuhua. He even told Xie Yuhua that she could only come to his room and sleep with him when he finally got to eat the fried hawthorn fruit.

Xie Yuhua stood blankly in the courtyard, still confused about what had happened. Then Ling Xiao tossed him his blanket from the room. Xie Yuhua looked at the blanket in his hands—had he been kicked out? He looked up at Ling Xiao's room, wanting to go in and comfort the child, but found the child had already turned off the lights…

"Hey! Young Master Jiu, you got kicked out so quickly?" Hei Xiazi walked up to Xie Yuhua with a look of amusement and an irritating grin, put his right arm around Xie Yuhua's shoulder, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Could it be that Young Master Jiu couldn't satisfy the young master?"

After saying that, Hei Xiazi straightened up and said, "Then does that mean I, the blind man, have a chance?"

Xie Yuhua, holding the blanket in one hand, disdainfully slapped away Hei Xiazi's right hand with the other, saying, "Take your filthy hands away." She then patted the shoulder that Hei Xiazi had touched, brushing away the dust.

"Where's the dirt? This is a blind man's hand that he just washed." Black Bear said, then waved his hand in front of Jieyuhua's eyes and continued, "Smell it, it still smells of soap!"

Inside the room, Ling Xiao stood quietly by the window, watching everything that was happening outside. He didn't make any move, but simply lowered his eyes slightly, making his already unfathomable eyes appear even more profound.

After watching for a while, Ling Xiao stopped watching. He opened the door to the secret room and went inside. It was midnight tonight, the fifteenth of the month, the last day of the punishment for the bloodline of passion. Once he got through tomorrow, he could go to sleep.

Let's talk about it after he wakes up, if he can walk out of this room alive...

The next day, when the four of them got up, they saw Xie Yuhua excitedly carrying something and heading towards Ling Xiao's room. It looked like some kind of food.

Jieyuhua specially went out early in the morning to buy roasted hawthorns to coax the child, thinking that the child would be overjoyed to see the roasted hawthorns he had been longing for when he woke up! But no matter how much he knocked on the door, there was no response from the person inside.

Wu Xie also stepped forward to help knock on the door. After knocking for a while, there was no response from inside. Wu Xie turned to Jie Yu Hua and asked, "Could it be that no one is inside?"

Jieyuhua shook her head and said, "No, the child knows I'm buying him roasted hawthorn berries today, so he'll definitely be waiting for me at home." She then took out her phone, opened the messaging app, and muttered to herself, "Besides, I haven't received any messages from the child; he always lets me know when he goes out." Unless the child fainted, or...

"I'm going to ask Chengyu for the key! I hope nothing else has happened to him, he's already in poor health!" The fat man rushed off to find Chengyu.

"If you ask me, this door can be broken open with one kick, why would we need a key?" Black Bear eagerly stepped forward, but was stopped by the young man who said, "Wait for the key."
