Since the day Nine Gate came and took Xia Xia away, all people in General Manor had watched her closely. Even Tianya did not leave the manor as his eyes were always fixed on Xia Xia…
All people in Wu Shang City knew the incident in General Manor, and with Tianya’s temper, he would not stay silent and certainly would seek revenge.
However…
Wu Shang City was as calm as nothing had happened… And this calmness made people feel more anxious, like a bad storm was coming soon.
Two guards stood in front of General Manor’s gate; they sat nearly motionless like statues.
A girl covered in blood stumbled and fell in front of the gate.
Due to what had happened back then, everyone in General Manor was very defensive. The guards became more cautious when they saw this messy girl.
“Who are you?”
He blocked the girl’s way with his sword and asked in a deep voice.
The girl ruffled her messy hair. She raised her head and said timidly, “Suyi is my aunt. Please, go and tell my aunt that… Nan Luo has come to see her.”
The Nan family?
The two guards looked at each other, and one of them went in to find Suyi.
***
In the backyard, Suyi was sitting on the pavilion, holding Xia Xia smilingly.
Just then, a guard hurriedly came and respectfully reported, “Lady Suyi, someone has come to see you.”
“Hmm?” Suyi raised her eyebrows and looked at the guard.
The guard continued, “That person called you ‘Aunt Suyi’ and is named Nan Luo.”
‘Nan Luo?’
Suyi paused for a moment.
‘I’ve almost forgotten about this girl…
‘We left in a hurry that day and forgot about her. Nan Fang would certainly not let this girl go…’
However, she did not like Nan Luo. Suyi took her out of Nan Manor only because Nan Luo had helped her.
She was rude to Qing’er, and that made Suyi dislike her more.
But… Nan Luo managed to escape, which was a bit surprising to her.
“I’ll go to meet her.”
No matter what, Suyi could not just leave her at the gate.
At least…
She had to ask Nan Luo to leave.
Otherwise, she might offend Qing’er again.
Even Suyi could not bear it, let alone Nan Xian…
“Grandmother, is it that bad woman?” Xia Xia bit her finger and asked.
Suyi smiled and stroked Xia Xia’s little nose. “Yes, I’ll go see what she wants from us.”
“Alright…”
Xia Xia smiled adorably and held Suyi’s hand. “I’ll go with you.”
Suyi’s heart softened as she looked at the little girl’s bright smile.
‘It is really great to have a daughter…’
Whether she was laughing or crying, it was like seeing a flower in bloom, making her heart feel all warm and fuzzy.
***
Nan Luo saw Suyi came over with a little girl. Her eyes reddened, tears fell, and she cried pitifully. “Aunt Suyi…”
Suyi frowned. She was quite uncomfortable with the way Nan Luo addressed her.
However, seeing Nan Luo’s blood-soaked appearance, she could not help but freeze for a moment, shocked.
‘How could Nan Fang do such a ruthless thing to his daughter. He’s so cruel…’
“Aunt…”
Nan Luo tears fell like rain, kneeling in front of Suyi. “Father beat me up and kicked me out. I have nowhere to go now… Aunt Suyi, please let me stay with you.”
