Cai Yan stood in the last trace of sunset, raised his hand to look at the candied haws in his hand for a long time, and finally sighed deeply.

"Old Su, please help Yaner check where Fang La is."

Boss Su nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, Young Master, the person has been found."

"Don't disturb them first." Cai Huang said last, then he left with Meng Fei and his followers who had been waiting for a long time.

Cai Yan left the boat and landed on the shore. Lu Tao did not leave the bow. She kept looking at whether his young master had returned until it was already dark and had not left at all. She wanted to get off the boat several times, but was blocked by the sailors on the boat.

A small boat came in the distance. Looking at the torches above, Lu Tao couldn't help but shout.

"Young Master...Young Master...Young Master..."

Listening to her anxiousness, Cai Yan felt annoyed and deliberately did not respond loudly, and bit the candied haws with bright lipstick very fiercely.

"snort!"

Meng Fei looked at him with a strange look on his face, not understanding what was wrong with him.

The soft ladder was put down, and with Meng Fei's help, Cai Huang climbed onto the big ship very smoothly.

"Young Master..."

"snort!"

As soon as Lu Tao opened her mouth urgently, Cai Huang snorted coldly and bit the candied haws hard again.

"I won't give you candied haws!"

"snort!"

Cai Huang snorted coldly and looked at Meng Fei again.

"No one is allowed to get close to the cabin!"

"ah?"

Cai Yan didn't wait for Meng Fei to react and kicked open the hatch door, proving that he was very angry.

Lu Tao didn't know what happened, but knew that he was very angry now. He was dissatisfied with the complaints and also blocked his throat, but he was very careful to close the door. Seeing this, Meng Fei did not dare to say much, waved his hand and drove everyone away, sat not far away to take care of others, forbidding others to get close to the cabin.

"Bang!"

The little hands were slapped on the table.

"Say! What's the relationship between you and Gu Qinniang? Why do you always look at her?"

"Young Master..."

"explain!"

Cai Yan pointed at the little head that was bowing his head and furious.

"If you dare to hide and deceive again, I will throw you into the water! Feed the fish!"

"Young Master...green...green peaches don't know how to water...young Master..."

Cai Yan almost laughed angry by her, but when she looked at her little face, she was pitiful and inexplicably reluctant, but when she thought of Gu Qinniang, she still snorted coldly with a cold face.

"I ask you, do you know why my second uncle was demoted to Henan?"

"I know... I know, I'm... I'm having a close relationship with the demon... the demon..."

"Hmph! Demon! Who is the Demon?"

"Zhang...Zhang Huaisu..."

"Bang!"

Cai Huang slapped the table suddenly, and Lu Tao, who didn't dare to look up, was startled and took a big step back.

Seeing her like this, Cai Yan pointed at Lu Tao, who was bowing his head and felt angry.

"The official family is good at the way. Zhang Huaisu was in front of him, and Lin Lingsu now. It is even more important to have a favor from the superiors! It is normal for the ministers to make friends with ministers. Even so, the Left Chief of the Shangshu and the second uncle who is in charge of the Privy Council were also kicked out of the court and demoted to the prefect of Henan. How old is the second uncle? Are you a princess or a princess?"

"Lu...Lu Tao is...Young Master's..."

"Bang!"

Cai Huang slapped the tables again.

"Also say?"

"I will be cheated to death by you girl sooner or later!"

"Say! How did you know the demon?"

Lu Tao looked up at Cai Yan carefully, and saw him glaring at him, then hurriedly lowered his head.

"Lengtao...Lengtao... Very early... When I was five years old, my grandmother asked the old immortal Sun to calculate his fate, and the immortal grandfather said that Lu Tao... knew him." Seeing Cai Yan glaring at him again, he hurriedly told the long story short.

Cai Yan was speechless. His prompt was obvious enough, right? Why did he get involved in the old charlatan setting up a stall outside his house?

He looked at the girl with her head down and pulled the corner of her clothes. No matter how she looked, she didn't seem to be lying. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly seemed to realize something and frowned.

"Every time the young master mentioned your sister Gu, you are nervous and even dared to suspect that your mother killed someone!"

"Before, I didn't want to ask about your private affairs and didn't want to delve into your little thoughts, but now you have to explain to me why I care about your sister Gu so much? If I don't say it clearly, I won't throw you into the river, so you can go to Bianjing, I will..."

"Young Master, don't want Lu Tao...Young Master...Woooo...Young Master..."

Before Cai Yan finished speaking, Lu Tao fell to his knees and burst into tears. He was speechless again when he saw him.

"Young master... don't give Lu Tao away... Sister Gu... Sister Gu is... Sister Gu is... Sister... Yes... Is it what my mother said when she died of illness... Don't let Lu Tao say..."

“…”

Cai Yan was really stunned...

"Mom...Mom has tuberculosis...coughed blood all day long... Later...Mom later said...Dad said that when he went to Bianjing with... he gave birth to...produced..."

"Mom dislikes her sister...so...so don't let Lu Tao say..."

Cai Yan was silent for a while, stood up for a long time, stood in front of Lu Tao, who had become a tearful person on the ground, and looked down at her with the pear blossoms in the rain...

"She's surname is Gu, and she is the daughter of the Gu family in Bianjing. Your original surname is Chen, and she is a slave of the Cai family! You don't have any sisters, you never have one! Remember?"

"Young master, mom..."

"Your mother lied to you-"

Cai Fei roared with terrifying roar without any warning, and his breathing was shocking.

"Remember it! This is the last time! No matter whether you are close to her in the future, you must remember one thing. You have no bullshit sister. If you can't remember... just leave. This young master will give you complete freedom, maybe... it is better for you."

Cai Yan turned around and walked towards the desk, took out a bamboo tube from his arms, poured out a pen that was easy to make black, and wrote a covenant in the shortest time.

"You hold this deed book..."

"Young Master..."

"Hold—"

Seeing her backwards repeatedly, Cai Huang stuffed the paper into her arms rudely and stared at her eyes expressionlessly.

"You don't have to worry about Gu Qinniang. She will return to Hangzhou with us in a few days, and she will also become a female teacher in the school."

"If you insist that she is your half-sister, the young master will not force you to find a place for you in Hangzhou. If you want to stay with the young master, you must forget your mother's words and the choice is in your own hands. You should think carefully before making a decision."

As he said that, Cai Yan picked up the two candied haws that were missing and handed them to her hesitantly.

"I ate two of them by the young master. I will go shopping together tomorrow and I can eat as much as I want."

"Young Master...Leng Tao..."

"Hold it."

Lu Tao finally took the candied haws and looked at the little girl who had become a part of her life. Although she was a few years older than her current body, he still thought that she was the older one.

Tuberculosis, coughing up blood, five years ago...

Cai Yan didn't think everything was such a coincidence, and silently took out the madam's confession from her arms and spread it on the table page by page...

"well……"

Compared to Lu Tao's words, Cai Yan was more willing to believe the confession of the madam, believing that no one could resist the torture of not letting sleep for seven days and seven nights, but the person involved was no longer there, and some things were buried underground forever.

But he still believed that Lu Tao had nothing to do with Gu Qinniang. If it really had something to do, it was the damn Zhang Huaisu who had something to do with Lu Tao's mother, not Lu Tao's father.

Close your eyes and ponder for a long time, ignoring your mind, the more you care, the more chaotic you are...

Cai Yan did not sleep in the same bed with Lu Tao for the first time. Since she woke up and opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the girl lying beside her. For months, whether she wanted or not, she had never left him...

But tonight, he was just tossing and turning alone, staring at the roof, listening to the river flowing, listening to the croaking and clamoring...

Outside the door, a small girl stood in her arms with a bedding for a long time, silently spreading her bedding outside the door, leaning on the wooden wall, looking at Jiangning City from afar...

Meng Fei squatted at the bow of the boat, looking back at the shadows leaning outside the door from time to time, and shook his head inexplicably, and continued to look at the distant West, looking at the north of the North that could never be seen again...

"A journey of the mountain and a journey of the water, I walked towards the bank of Yuguan, and there were thousands of tents of lights late at night.

The wind is updated, the snow is updated, and the dream of the hometown is broken will not come true, and there is no such sound in the hometown…”

"It's time to snow..."
To be continued...
