It was not difficult to find Chu Mansion as there was practically no one who did not know about Chu Family.

The Chu Mansion gate and the pillars at the entrance were glowing red, as if they had been painted with red paint for a short while.

This also confirmed Boss Hee's claim that he had only returned back to Lingshan Town with more than a month's worth of money.

Xia Yi walked over and gently pulled the door knocker.

The door made a heavy noise, and a small crack appeared in it.

attendant's head peeked out from under the door, asking impatiently: "Who are you? What's the matter? "

Ever since the Old Madame Chu returned, there had been an endless flow of guests, and the Old Lady Chu was unable to handle the disturbance. Other than a few old friends, no one was to be seen.

It had only been a few days, and no one expected that some blind guy would come looking for them. attendant naturally did not give them a good look.

Xia Yi thought for a moment and said: "I am from the Xiangji Shop, and am here to send some new tricks for the Old Madame Chu, I hope little brother can let me know."

"Xiangji Shop?" attendant was slightly surprised. He knew that ever since he had returned to the Old Madame Chu, he had always loved nothing but Xiangji Shop. Every day, he would ask the servant girl to buy the snacks, and the only thing he absolutely had to buy were the Red Bean Cake.

Because of this reason, attendant's attitude towards Xia Yi became slightly better, "Wait here."

With that, the door creaked shut again.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away until there was no sound at all.

After waiting for a long time, the "Da Da" sound of footsteps could be heard again.

attendant opened the door and said: "The old mistress is taking a nap, young miss is inviting you, follow me."

Xia Yi followed the attendant into a long corridor and arrived at a side hall.

"Go in and wait. The young miss will be here in a moment." After that, the attendant left.

The door was slightly ajar, and the moment Xia Yi pushed it open, she felt something falling down from above her head.

Fortunately, he was able to react in time and was not hit by the bucket that fell from the door. Instead, he was splashed by the bucket of water, causing his heart to turn cold.

Although it was already the end of winter, Tian'er was still cold.

Xia Yi's cotton garment was drenched by the water from the bucket, the bone piercing chill seeped into her bones, Xia Yi could not help but shiver.

There was a woman sitting in the center of the room. She giggled when she saw this scene.

Xia Yi's ability to recognize people was not bad, when she raised her head, she recognized Chu Sike.

She controlled her gums that wanted to tremble and said coldly: "Does Miss Chu only know how to play tricks behind the scenes with these children?"

Chu Sike's laughter suddenly stopped. "Do you know what happens when you offend me?"

"I've seen it, but I don't know what Miss Chu has done. Does Old Madame Chu know?" Although Xia Yi had only seen Old Madame Chu once, she concluded that Old Madame Chu was completely unaware of what Chu Sike had done.

Chu Sike's face stiffened when she heard it, and said: "A mere little village nun like you wants to meet my grandmother? Dream on! "

Xia Yi said seriously: "Old Madame Chu can't possibly stay indoors forever, I hope you can restrain yourself a little. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that the things that Miss Chu did will not spread to Old Madame Chu's ears."

"You dare threaten me?" Chu Sike clenched her teeth. In her entire life, there had never been anyone who dared to threaten her!

Xia Yi said: "I am only narrating a fact, and hope that Miss Chu will think about it again. Also, this is the greeting gift I brought for Old Madame Chu, put it here."

After Xia Yi finished speaking, she placed the dessert on the table, and left without even turning her head.

Chu Sike walked over and swept the snacks on the table to the ground, then frantically stomped on them, "Who cares about your smelly snacks! You are just a stinking beggar, how dare you threaten me! "

The reason why Chu Sike was so angry was because Xia Yi was really holding onto her life. From a young age until now, the person she was most afraid of was her grandmother.

After exiting the Chu Mansion, Xia Yi started to tremble uncontrollably.

His wet clothes were heavy and cold, like countless knives slicing against his skin. The pain was intense.

Xia Yi struggled to move her feet, trying to rush home as fast as she could.

Fortunately, they met the Uncle Wen as soon as they left the Lingshan Town.

Xia Yi's head was heavy and her feet light. She was too concentrated on travelling, she did not see Uncle Wen's oxcart.

Uncle Wen stopped the ox-cart in front of Xia Yi and said: "Xia Yi, why are your clothes so wet? Get on the ox-cart in such a cold weather!"

Although the ox-cart wasn't fast, it was still much faster than Xia Yi's walking speed.

Before long, the ox-cart stopped in front of Xia Yi's house. "Quickly go home and change your clothes.

"Thank you, Uncle Wen." Xia Yi didn't forget to thank the Uncle Wen when he got off the car.

The first thing he did when he got home was to rush into his room and change his clothes.

Her whole body was red from the cold, and she could only rely on rubbing to recover a little heat.

Just as he finished changing his clothes, he heard knocking on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Xiao Linmu standing at the doorway, his face was covered with a layer of dark shadow. If not for the bucket in his right hand, which was still emitting warm white smoke, Xia Yi would have suspected that Xiao Linmu came here to kill.

"How did you make yourself look like this?" Xiao Linmu's tone was still cold.

"No …." "It's fine, thank you!" Xia Yi was dizzy and did not answer Xiao Linmu's question. She only extended her hand to grab the water bucket.

Before his hand could even touch the water bucket, he suddenly fell forward, landing right on Xiao Linmu's chest.

Xiao Linmu reacted quickly and wrapped his arm around Xia Yi's shoulder to prevent himself from falling to the ground.

His hand inadvertently brushed past Xia Yi's neck, and it felt extremely hot.

He released the water bucket in his hands and picked Xia Yi up.

When Xia Yi opened her eyes again, it was already midnight. Under the faint light of the moon, he seemed to see a figure on the face of the house.

The silhouette sat motionlessly in front of the table.

Xia Yi held her breath and tried to sit up, but she felt dizzy and was unable to use any strength.

Looking around, she felt that the furnishings in the room were very familiar. Wasn't this her own room?

It was just that it had always been dominated by Xiao Linmu.

Why was she here?

Suddenly, the figure sitting at the table moved. The kerosene lamp on the table suddenly lit up with small blue flames.

The flames flickered and the room was much brighter than it had been.

Xia Yi could clearly see that the person by the side of the table was Xiao Linmu. He stood up and walked towards Xia Yi, "You're awake?"

"Why am I here?" Xia Yi asked.

Xiao Linmu replied indifferently: "Yang and Yue Yue both went to sleep."

Xia Yi had been living in the same room as Xia Yang and Xia Yue, Xiao Linmu had intentionally brought Xia Yi here, and using his consciousness, he helped to take care of Xia Yi.

"Thank you, I'll leave now." After Xia Yi finished, he held on to the side of the bed and was about to leave.

However, she was pushed back down by Xiao Linmu, "Lie down obediently."
