Chapter Two
"Time is quiet and good, I talk to you; like the passing years, I am with you; the prosperity is gone, I am with you."
"I just wish that your heart will be like spring and will return once a year."
Huan Chang, who had already dressed in a brand new style, gently rubbed the beautiful handwriting on the handkerchief and murmured in a low voice, but he had no courage to walk towards the Xiao family compound no matter what.
"A Yun, I'm really sorry."
Looking at the Xiao family courtyard, Huan Chang's eyes were a little wet. After hesitating for a long time, he took a deep breath and walked in that direction.
When he arrived at the gate of the Xiao family courtyard and looked at the courtyard with the door closed, Huan Chang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Calm and concentrate, Huan Chang released his spiritual consciousness, and the whole picture of the Xiao family courtyard suddenly appeared in his mind, but there was no sign of the Xiao family father and daughter.
The entire Xiao family courtyard was empty, with only one old woman holding a broom and sweeping the dust on the ground together.
"How could this happen?"
Seeing this, Huan Chang couldn't help but feel panic, but he quickly comforted himself: "Maybe uncle and A Yun are no longer at home, or have moved out of here."
"But the Xiao family courtyard is still there, I should be able to find out about them from the old woman."
Thinking of this, Huan Chang immediately began to knock on the door.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
The knock on the door kept ringing, and the old woman who was cleaning heard the sound, but her old face changed slightly, and her eyes were filled with horror.
"Why haven't the door opened yet?"
Huan Chang knocked for a long time and the door was not opened. He couldn't help but feel doubtful. He immediately stopped talking about any rules and flew directly into the courtyard.
"Old lady, where did the owner of this family go?"
Huan Chang, who suddenly appeared beside the old woman, frightened the old woman to the point of pale face and her body involuntarily retreated toward the back.
After the old woman heard Huan Chang's words, she hurriedly shook her head desperately.
"Hmm? Something seems to be wrong."
Looking at the horror in the old woman's eyes, Huan Chang's bad feeling became stronger and stronger. He stepped forward and grabbed the old woman's arm and asked anxiously: "Where are Uncle Xiao and A Yun?"
Huan Chang's impolite behavior made the old woman's eyes look surprised. After carefully looking at Huan Chang, the old woman said in surprise: "You, you are Young Master Huan Chang!"
"Do you know me?"
When Huan Chang heard the old woman call out his name, he couldn't help but look surprised on his face, because he was sure that he didn't know the old woman in front of him at all.
"It's really Mr. Huan Chang. Don't you know how hard the lady has been waiting for you over the years? She crying at your portrait every day!"
From Huan Chang's tone, the old woman had confirmed her guess, but her face changed slightly and she said with some complaints.
The old woman entered Xiao's mansion late, and Huan Chang had just left at that time, but Xiao Yun missed Huan Chang and drew many portraits of Huan Chang.
Therefore, the old woman could naturally recognize Huan Chang.
Hearing the old woman's complaint, Huan Chang's eyes showed a strong look of guilt, but he still asked, "I am going back this time to fulfill my promise to marry A Yun."
"Can the old lady tell me where Uncle Xiao and A Yun are now?"
Huan Chang asked with anticipation, but the old woman's face became very ugly.
"Because the master sent troops to wipe out the Juye Gang, the remnants of the Juye Gang were resentful to the master and repeatedly sent masters to assassinate the master."
"Fortunately, the king sent a master to protect the Xiao Mansion, which made the assassins return in a defeat every time."
"But just two years ago, a very powerful man entered the Xiao Mansion and killed all the masters who guarded the Xiao Mansion. Even the master was injured."
"That day, the entire Xiao Mansion was filled with blood, and no one survived. Only I accompanied the lady out of the city for a walk, and I was lucky enough to escape."
When Huan Chang heard this, his face turned pale.
He never expected that during the time he left, Xiao Qi would be assassinated by the remnants of Juye Gang, so Xiao Yun's life would not be easy.
Xiao Yun lost her father and her lover was not by her side, Huan Changzhen was worried that she could survive.
"Then, what about Ah Yun?"
Huan Chang hurriedly asked, with an extremely anxious look in his eyes.
"After the lady buried the master, she was taken to her aunt's house. She hasn't come back for two years. However, every year she would ask someone to send some money to the old woman and ask me to help take care of the Xiao family courtyard."
When Huan Chang heard that Xiao Yun was taken away by her aunt, he breathed a little relieved, but when he thought of Xiao Qi who was already dead, he felt a little dry.
After asking about Aunt Xiao Yun's address, Huan Chang rushed out of the city without stopping at all.
Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and butterflies are dancing.
Looking around, there are green crops all around, and the peach forest in the east is just right in bloom, and the peach blossoms covered with branches look extremely beautiful.
Next to Taolin, there is a very large manor that looks very grand from the outside.
In the manor, there are all kinds of pavilions and towers, and the rockery and flowing water are quite beautiful. It can be seen that the owner of this manor is very wealthy.
Huan Chang came outside the manor and looked at the fierce guards at the door from afar, but hesitated a little.
"I'd better take a look at A Yun secretly first. I don't know what she was like these years. When A Yun suddenly saw me, I don't know if she would be full of surprises."
Thinking of this, Huan Chang quickly hid his body and then flew into the manor.
Although the manor guard has good martial arts skills, it is nothing in Huan Chang's eyes. No one can detect it when sneaking into the manor.
Next to the rockery, by the fountain.
A beautiful woman watched the spring water spilling from the air, but her eyes were filled with resentment that could not be resolved.
Next to it is also a precious xylophone.
"Madam, the young master is asleep. Let's take him back to the room to rest."
Just as the beautiful woman stared at the fountain in a daze, the maid next to her suddenly said, and the woman came to her senses and nodded slightly, indicating that the maid could carry the young master back to the room.
"Madam has been in a bad state since she gave birth to the young master. It's a bit windy outside today. Madam, let's go back to the room to rest first."
There is also a slightly older mother next to the maid. Seeing the unconcealed melancholy on the woman's face, she couldn't help but persuade her.
"Miss Feng, you guys go back first. I want to stay here for a while and I want to play the piano again."
When Feng Niang and the maid heard this, a helpless look flashed in their eyes, but they didn't say much. They took the young master who was in their infancy and left, leaving only the woman alone.
But the few people didn't notice it. In a hidden location in the courtyard, Huan Chang looked at the slightly thin and beautiful woman, but tears couldn't help but shed.
"In five years, things have changed."
Huan Chang's eyes were bloodshot and his nails were deeply trapped in his palms. Even with his current level of cultivation, he could not control his emotional fluctuations.
