The woman was not stupid and quickly reacted: "You mean, I only need to do this to be safe and smooth?"

Xiao Luoyi nodded seriously, then looked at the woman firmly: "How do you choose?"

This woman was only a teenager. At that time, she was still the treasure of her parents. How could anyone not miss their parents?
  Coupled with Xiao Luoyi's words, she couldn't help but yearn for him.

"I...I'll go home with you."

The woman went into the house to tidy up, picked up her things, and soon followed Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin down the mountain and onto the carriage.

In the carriage, the woman ate the warm tea and snacks handed over by Xiao Luoyi and baked the charcoal stove. She finally felt much better and talked about her own situation.

It turns out that she was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family in Guizhou Prefecture, named Meng Zhangzhu.

Before, she went to her aunt's house to visit relatives, but she was robbed and raped by two kidnappers on the way. She even became the concubine of one of the kidnappers and gave birth to this child.

"I wanted to leave day and night, but after I found out I was pregnant, I didn't dare to think about it."

"I have been ruined. Unclean people will bring shame to the family. How can I have the nerve to go back and embarrass my parents?"

The woman said and started crying again.

Xiao Luoyi glanced at the sleeping child and put the child aside to continue sleeping, allowing her to cry to vent.

The woman was tired of crying, so she hugged the child and fell asleep again.

Chen Huaijin understood clearly: Meng family in Guizhou Prefecture.

When the sky darkened, the carriage entered Guizhou Mansion. Chen Huaijin looked at the sky and took advantage of the darkness to ask for the place and went to Meng's house.

The Meng family is indeed a high-class family, but it has only one door in an alley.

Chen Huaijin stepped forward and knocked on the door, saying that he wanted to visit the head of the Meng family and his wife for something important.

The steward went in to report, and Chen Huaijin was invited in not long after.

In the flower hall, the head of the Meng family, Meng Lixing, who was in his early thirties, and his wife Zhao Xinzhi looked at a loss. Seeing the tall Chen Huaijin striding in, they couldn't help but lean back.

The man in front of him has a handsome appearance, but he is tall, strong and imposing.

Chen Huaijin looked at the two owners in the room, and then at the maidservant who was waiting on the side. He only said one sentence: "I'm here to send your lady Mengzhangzhu back."

"What?!" Meng Lixing stood up suddenly, his eyes widened and he exclaimed.

"What did you say?" Mrs. Zhao thought she had heard wrongly and asked with a trembling voice.

Chen Huaijin repeated the story and pointed to the carriage path outside: "The person is in the carriage. You two can go and bring the person in yourself."

The couple stumbled out.

However, Chen Huaijin stopped the two of them and said, "Please keep quiet for now. Miss Meng has some special circumstances..."

Meng Lixing's heart tightened: What is there to be ashamed of?
  Although he was confused, Meng Lixing still ordered everyone present: "You go and clear the place now."

Several servants and servants rushed away.

Not long after, Meng Lixing and Mrs. Zhao rushed to the carriage, and the carriage curtain was lifted from the inside.

When Meng Zhangzhu, holding the child, appeared in front of the couple, Mrs. Zhao tightly covered her mouth, and a trace of sob escaped from her mouth.

Chen Huaijin, who followed out later, reminded: "Go back to the house first."

Meng Lixing asked the housekeeper to directly remove the threshold and let the carriage enter the yard. The gate was closed. Meng Zhangzhu got out of the car and hugged his mother and cried for a while. Meng Lixing frowned: "Go to the flower hall first."

Entering the flower hall, Meng Lixing waited until his mother and son were almost crying, and then asked Meng Zhangzhu: "Zhu'er, what's going on with you? This child..."

Although Meng Zhangzhu was told by Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin that she "can't tell the truth," she couldn't tell a lie if she really wanted to, so she only looked at Chen Huaijin and Xiao Luoyi for help.

Xiao Luoyi had no choice but to take a step forward: "Mr. Meng, Mrs. Zhao, we encountered a gangster on the way to Guizhou Mansion. Fortunately, Miss Zhangzhu's husband came to rescue us. It's a pity that Miss Zhangzhu's husband was killed by the gangster." Those who were injured will die together with the villain."

"My husband and I are grateful for the life-saving grace of Miss Zhangzhu's husband, so we sent Miss Zhangzhu back to reunite with our husband."

Meng Lixing's brows did not loosen. He could accumulate such a large family fortune. He was not a fool. He knew there was something fishy in it as soon as he heard it.

But he looked at the noisy crowd and didn't ask any more questions. He just asked people to go to the Nuan Pavilion in Qixingyuan.

Qixing Garden is located in the middle of the lotus pond, surrounded by water. Only the Seven Star Bridge connects it. Let the servants guard the Qixing Bridge without fear of eavesdropping.

In the Nuan Pavilion, the food was served. Meng Lixing and his wife turned aside the others and ate with Chen Huaijin, Xiao Luoyi and their daughter in person. Only then did Meng Zhangzhu whisper the truth to her parents.

Meng Lixing was so shocked that he fell down on his stool and was speechless for a long time.

Mrs. Zhao hugged her daughter and cried: "My son, your life is so miserable..."

Meng Zhangzhu has been uneasy since he told the truth. He is always worried that his parents will change their attitude and throw him into the pond or drive him out, or send him to the family temple or village.

Unexpectedly, my parents didn't say this, they just felt sorry for themselves.

She was finally not so worried anymore, and just as she was about to ask how to arrange things in the future, Chen Huaijin suddenly said: "Someone is coming."

Mrs. Zhao was startled by the seriousness on Chen Huaijin's face, and subconsciously said: "Impossible, I asked people to guard the bridge. No one will come without being notified."

Chen Huaijin didn't argue, just walked to the window and suddenly opened it.

Ten steps away, a young woman wearing a white fox fur cloak suddenly faced the man who pushed open the window, her face full of surprise.

When Mrs. Zhao saw the woman, she immediately shouted: "Xing'er, why are you here?"

"I heard that my sister is back, so I came here to take a look." Meng Xing'er walked in with light steps.

This is a small face that is so well maintained that even though the facial features are not as delicate as Mengzhangzhu, they still have a certain charm of their own.

Xiao Luoyi took a look and lowered his eyes: It's a pity, his eyes are too flexible and his eyes are wandering.

If the mind is crooked, even if the appearance is good, the marriage will not be successful in the future, the children will be unfilial, and the later life will be miserable.

Meng Lixing saw that Meng Xing'er had come in, so he had to introduce: "This is my second daughter, Meng Xing'er."

Meng Xinger glanced at Xiao Luoyi first. Xiao Luoyi's face was still painted with yellow-brown disguise cream. At first glance, Xiao Luoyi's appearance was not outstanding.

When her eyes fell on Chen Huaijin's face, Meng Xing'er's eyes flashed slightly and she saluted Chen Huaijin: "Is this brother-in-law?"

Chen Huaijin turned sideways and pointed at Xiao Luoyi: "This is my wife. Don't mistake this lady for her relatives."

Meng Xing'er admitted her mistake on purpose, but she didn't expect Chen Huaijin to be so direct. She immediately blushed and said, "I was reckless, I'm sorry!"

Xiao Luoyi glanced at Meng Xing'er: "Madam said that someone was guarding the bridge, and no one could come over without a pass. Unexpectedly, the second lady was very popular, and she came over directly without a pass."

As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions changed.
