I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

He Xingwen was completely dumbfounded.

He stood in the yard, not coming to his senses for a long time.

"No, this can't be true. Lian'er has been kind since she was a child. She wouldn't do this..."

He kept denying it, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Qiao Yun holding the jade bracelet and turning into a remote corner.

Out of curiosity, he hurriedly followed her and saw her digging a hole under a bush, smashing the jade bracelet and throwing it in.

"Well, if the young lady didn't like others wearing the same bracelet as her, I wouldn't be willing to throw it away like this." Qiao Yun filled the hole with dirt, patted the dirt off her hands and clothes, and walked away as if nothing had happened.

He Xingwen frowned slightly, he couldn't believe that all this was true.

"No, I have to go find He Lian'er to find out what's going on." He Xingwen turned around and was about to go to the backyard to find He Lian'er, but as soon as he raised his foot, he sat up from the bed.

He Xingwen looked at everything around him blankly. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and find himself sitting on the bed in his bedroom.

It turned out that everything just now was just a dream.

But if it had never happened, it would be fine, but the things in the dream actually happened, which made him start to feel suspicious.

He has always liked He Lian'er so much, pampered her and loved her, just because she has always been a kind, well-behaved and understanding sister.

But she was completely changed in the dream.

Which one is the real He Lianer?

It was just midnight, but He Xingwen couldn't fall asleep. His mind was in a mess, and he stayed awake until dawn.

The first thing he did after getting up was to run to the yard and look for the flowers. He wanted to verify whether what he dreamed about was true or not.

He Xingwen followed the direction he remembered and came to a small courtyard full of flowers, and stopped at a location close to the wall.

"I hope everything is fake, just a dream of mine."

He Xingwen pursed his lips, squatted down, stretched out his hand and started digging the soil.

He dug about a foot deep but found nothing and felt relieved.

"I told you Lian'er wouldn't do such a thing," he whispered excitedly.

Just as he was about to stand up, he found something hard under his feet. He looked down and found that it was a short piece of jade bracelet.

"This……"

He was stunned.

At this time, a disciple passed by and saw He Xingwen standing in the flowers. He kindly reminded him, "Third Young Master, what are you doing there? Did you lose something? The soil was just turned over here yesterday. Do you want me to help you find it?"

Hearing this, He Xingwen almost lost his balance and looked over while leaning against the wall.

The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and the seeds of doubt were planted in his heart.

In the end, he didn't know how he got back to the room. He stumbled along the way and knocked over several disciples' medicine baskets, causing many people to talk about him behind his back.

Qiao Yun came back from outside and accidentally told He Lian'er about this.

"Second Miss, I just heard from the disciples outside that the Third Young Master went to the front yard to look for something this morning, and he stumbled back to the yard as if he was possessed."

When He Lian'er first heard this, she didn't take it to heart: "Maybe he lost something important and couldn't find it. My third brother has always been forgetful." After saying this, she covered her mouth and chuckled.

Qiao Yun was not as optimistic as she thought. She leaned over to He Lian'er's ear and whispered, "Second Miss, I am worried that the Third Young Master has discovered the jade bracelet..."

He Lian'er's heart tightened, and she looked up at Qiao Yun: "What did you say? Jade bracelet?"

"Yes, it's the one we used to frame the young lady. You asked me to throw the jade bracelet away, but I was afraid that someone would find it if I threw it away directly, so I broke it into pieces and buried it in a bush."

"No, it's impossible. How could Third Brother know that the thing was there? Besides the two of us, no one else knew about this, right?" He Lian'er swept her sharp eyes across Qiao Yun's face.

Qiao Yun was so scared that she immediately knelt down and said, "Second Miss, I have never told anyone about this. I swear!"

Seeing that her expression was normal, He Lian'er was relieved. She said in a deep voice, "Okay, I know. Maybe it's just a coincidence, and we are overthinking it. But you should keep this to yourself. If it gets out, you might lose your life."

"Yes, the servant knows."

After Qiao Yun left, He Lian'er's face became even darker, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes.

It seems that I need to take some time to go to my third brother to find out what he has to say.

That afternoon, He Lian'er put on a thick fur coat and, supported by Qiao Yun, came to Xinglan Garden where He Xingwen lived.

As soon as she entered the door, she shouted into the room: "Third brother, third brother, are you there?"

He Xingwen was in a trance the whole day, so he did not go to the alchemy room. At this moment, he was lying on the bed, staring at the beams in a daze.

Suddenly I heard He Lian'er's voice, my heart skipped a beat and I quickly sat up from the bed.

He was a little at a loss, not knowing how to face He Lian'er, but it was too late to hide.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer to the door, He Xingwen took a deep breath and shouted to the outside of the door in the same tone as before: "Lian'er, I'm here!"

"Third brother!" He Lian'er was about to push the door open when she heard the noise. He Xingwen hurriedly said, "Wait, Lian'er, go to the front hall and wait for me. Third brother, I took a short nap and haven't put on my coat yet."

He Lian'er paused, frowned slightly, and felt a little confused.

She was only six years old, and her third brother had never cared about these etiquettes in front of her in the past. What happened today?

However, she didn't show her uneasiness and still responded sweetly, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the front hall."

After a while, He Xingwen appeared in the front hall, dressed neatly. He walked in and saw He Lian'er walking around the room wrapped in a thick fur coat.

"Lian'er, why are you here? The weather has been cold these past two days, so you'd better not run around, or you'll catch a cold and your condition will get worse."

He Lian'er walked up to him with a smile and grabbed He Xingwen's sleeve: "Third brother, I just stayed in the yard for too long, so I came to talk to you."

He Xingwen had a smile on his face. Just as he was about to pull He Lian'er to sit down, he looked down at her little hand grabbing his sleeve. He thought of the things in his dream and felt a little uncomfortable. His smile suddenly disappeared.

"Nonsense. I know you like to play, but you have to think about your health. I have to go to the alchemy room soon, so you should hurry back to Tingzhu Garden."

He Lian'er didn't expect that her third brother would start to chase people away. She was stunned at first, then she pouted her lips and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Third brother, do you no longer like Lian'er?"

Her face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd, and a line of tears flowed down the corners of her eyes. She looked so pitiful.

After all, He Xingwen had loved his sister for six years, so he would never let her get wronged. He hurriedly coaxed her, "No, Lian'er, Third Brother didn't mean that. If you're unhappy, just hit Third Brother, okay? Don't cry."
