Happy by nature

Chapter 1: Chapter 4

When Luo Xiao saw the leader, she knew that her leisurely days were coming to an end.

"Vendor Master, your father has been very anxious these days, please ask the Zhuang Master to go back with his subordinates." The leader knelt down and clasped his fists.

go back?I'm afraid it's back to Truman?

Luo Xiao snorted, now the Rueqing Villa seems to be owned by the Truman, and it will change hands in a few years.

"How is Zhuang Nei now?" Luo Xiao asked with sideways eyes.

The leader hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's nothing serious."

Luo Xiao sneered, "Is the Truman in charge?"

If the leader doesn't answer, it's the default.

Luo Xiao took a step back with the oiled paper bag, "Tell my father, I'm doing fine here, don't worry."

"But..." The leader led a group of people still kneeling, "Master Chumen..."

"Are you a subordinate of Rueqing Villa or a member of Trumen?!" Luo Xiao roared, but heard a messy breathing behind the door.

Luo Xiao felt bad, and stared at the guard kneeling on the ground, said: "If you don't want to see blood, then go back obediently, and tell your Master Truman that I live very comfortably here, and the Unfeeling Villa relies on his support gone."

After finishing speaking, he hastily closed the door and chased after that breath.

After all, Xiang Yungui wasn't a martial arts practitioner, so he couldn't run fast, and was stopped by Luo Xiao before he could leave the backyard.

Luo Xiao stood in front of him, still with a playful smile on her face, "Did you hear that?"

Xiang Yungui's eyes wandered, and he said tremblingly, "I didn't hear anything..."

Only now did he know why the man said his surname was Pei, why the first thing he did was a satin sachet embroidered with gold silk, why he threw the two wrestling people into the corner with one hand.

"You're afraid of me." Luo Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Yes." Xiang Yungui answered the truth.

Luo Xiao took a long breath, he never thought that being intimidated by this sharp-tongued person would be so frustrating.

"I am the owner of Rueqing Villa, what does it have to do with me being Luo Xiao?" Luo Xiao's face was rare and cold.

"The owner of the Ruthless Villa..." Xiang Yungui clenched his hands so that he wouldn't tremble so much, "The owner of the Ruthless Villa is incompatible with my small shop, and the owner of Pei should..."

"Shut up!" Luo Xiao yelled, "My surname is Luo, not Pei!"

Xiang Yungui trembled all over, his legs were trembling and he wanted to back away.

Luo Xiao wiped her face and said, "I'm sorry."

Xiang Yungui buried his head and said: "You... go back, this is not the place for you to stay."

Luo Xiao was silent, even when she lowered her head, she could only see Xiang Yungui's hair.

"What I said is true," Luo Xiao whispered, "That man hates me, and my father is not my father. Even if I go back, I will have nowhere to go."

Xiang Yungui seemed a little moved, but considering that person's identity, he said again: "You are the owner of the Rueqing Villa, and the entire villa belongs to you, so why don't you have a place to stay?"

Luo Xiao understood that this person would not understand his situation, so she shook her head and said, "I won't go back."

"I'll tell daddy..." Xiang Yungui whispered more and more.

"You still have daddy to talk to," Luo Xiao pulled the corner of her mouth, "but I don't have anyone."

Xiang Yungui's expression was uncertain, as if hesitating.

"You..." Xiang Yungui still lowered his head and said, "If you leave as soon as possible, I won't say anything. At most...at most ten days..."

In ten days, maybe my father will find him.Luo Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Success."

Xiang Yungui got the promise, and went back to his room with his head buried.

Luo Xiao lowered her eyes, only to realize that she was still holding Xiang Yungui's thousand-layer cake in her hand.

Ten days, there are only ten days left for him to do as he pleases.

After another day, Luo Xiao's clothes were finally dried, and when she put them on, she was a handsome young man again.

Knowing Luo Xiao's true identity, Xiang Yungui almost stopped talking to him, and naturally he didn't send him to do things.Luo Xiao was watching the fire in the kitchen, idly holding a cattail fan to blow air into the stove from time to time.

After the mille-feuille cake was finished, she started another day's work. Luo Xiao thought that she had exposed her identity anyway, so she sat in the hall and helped sell the cakes.

Luo Xiao was originally handsome, and with the clothes to complement her, she attracted a lot of searching eyes.The small storefront is lively on weekdays, and today it is even more crowded.What's annoying is that half of them just came to watch the excitement, and didn't mean to buy pastries at all.

"Boss Xiang, where did you find such a handsome brother?" Aunt Zhou who was standing in front asked.

He smiled at the boss, "He is an apprentice in our shop."

"Oh, it's a pity to be a pastry apprentice." Aunt Zhou said without winking.

Xiang Yungui rolled his eyes at the side, it's a pity that the dignified Ruthless Villa owner is an apprentice.

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of the boss, Aunt Zhou simply asked Luo Xiao, "Where is this brother from? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"Oh, I'm from the north." Luo Xiao didn't say much, and continued to pack the mille-feuille cake with her head buried.

"Is my brother married? My niece is twenty-eight years old..." The woman began to chatter, and the people around her also watched with interest.

Xiang Yungui didn't intend to intervene, but it could be seen that the people behind who wanted to buy cakes couldn't squeeze in, so he raised his eyebrows and said: "Aunt Zhou, your niece is not good enough for our shop assistant, so don't worry about it."

After finishing speaking, she dragged Luo Xiao into the back room, and said, "You just stay here, don't go out."

Luo Xiao raised her eyebrows, finally willing to talk to him?

"Aunt Zhou was kind enough to connect me with the string, but you're good enough to pull it off immediately." Luo Xiao said intentionally.

Xiang Yungui snorted, "Aunt Zhou's niece has been a bully since she was a child, and now she is even more aggressive. You can marry her and let her in, so she can block the evil spirits."

"A shrew," Luo Xiao thought of his miserable aunt, "The shrew is the most interesting."

Xiang Yungui was speechless, "Don't make trouble, even if it's really interesting, wait until you get back to the villa and get married again."

Luo Xiao folded her hands, "You also know that I am the owner of a village, how can I marry a market girl."

Xiang Yungui moved his eyes, then lowered his eyelids and said, "Then you still listen to Aunt Zhou rambling over there."

"It's fun." Luo Xiao said straightforwardly.

The corner of Xiang Yungui's mouth twitched, "Just take your time and have fun, I'm going to do something."

With that said, he went back to the hall.Seeing that only Xiang Yun had returned, Aunt Zhou and the other onlookers left angrily.

Luo Xiao looked through the sackcloth curtain and saw that Xiang Yungui took the broken silver from his father, counted a few copper coins and handed them to the guests.

Luo Xiao leaned against the wall, staring at the two busy figures.Naturally, he was not interested in Aunt Zhou's niece, he just wanted to talk to that person.

The sun was gradually rising to the middle, Xiang Yungui took advantage of the free time to wipe the sweat from his forehead with his cuff, looked up, and saw a familiar person walking over.

"Brother Zhang?" Xiang Yungui shouted hello.

When Luo Xiao in the back room heard this, she raised the curtain slightly, but saw someone she hadn't seen for several years.

Zhang'er - Qin Huan's personal attendant.Even after six years, Zhang'er's figure is no longer as thin as before, and his skin color is much darker, but he can't mistake that face.When Qin Huan was still in the villa, he would go to the courtyard almost every day until his uncle sent him to Wudang.He knew that Qin Huan died of illness, but he had never seen his real mausoleum, and even the living Zhang'er was nowhere to be seen, which has always been a doubt in his heart.

"Let me weigh three catties of mille-layer cake to the boss." Qin Zhang walked outside the shop and said.

"Okay." Said to the boss and started to work.

Xiang Yungui said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Qin came to buy it two days ago, and finished eating today?"

"Yes," Qin Zhang smiled mischievously, "You also know that my elder brother likes the mille-feuille cakes in your store the most. He urged me to buy them after eating them yesterday."

After saying hello to the boss about the thousand-layer cake, Qin Zhang paid the money, said a few words to Xiang Yungui, and went back.

Luo Xiao's eyes jumped, she lowered the door curtain, and flew out from the backyard to chase Qin Zhang.Now that Zhang'er is living well in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Trumen, it's one of his worries.But he still doesn't know one thing, so he must ask clearly.

When Qin Zhang left the city, he realized that he seemed to be being followed, but when he turned around, there was no one there.He has lived a peaceful life for several years, has a wife and son, and he can't help but feel anxious.

Putting the burden in his hand behind his back, Qin Zhang flew up with a touch of his feet.He originally wanted to use lightness kung fu to get rid of that person, but unexpectedly that person's martial arts is quite advanced, his breath follows him like a shadow and he can't get rid of it no matter what.

In the end, Qin Zhang landed in an open space and shouted behind him, "I don't know where the hero is, what's the matter with following me all the time?"

Luo Xiao thought for a while, then walked out from the hiding place.When Qin Zhang saw him, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Zhang'er." Luo Xiao stood a few steps away from him and shouted with his hands behind his back.

"Young master..." Qin Zhang suddenly remembered the current identity of this person, bowed and said, "Master Pei."

Luo Xiao also cupped her fists, looked at Qin Zhang up and down, and said, "Zhang'er, where have you been all these years?"

"I left Trumen and now live by the sea." Qin Zhang replied.

Luo Xiao seemed a little surprised, and then she collected herself and asked the purpose of this trip, "Actually, I followed you, just want to ask one thing."

Qin Zhang was a little embarrassed, "What's the matter?"

There was some sadness in Luo Xiao's eyes, "Where is Qinhuan's tomb?"

Qin Zhang's eyes flickered, he wondered if he should tell the truth.

"I asked my father and Master Truman, but the cemetery they took me to didn't even have a tombstone." Luo Xiao recalled it filled with resentment, "I don't believe it is Qin Huan's tomb."

"This..." Qin Zhang stammered.

"Could it be that you don't know?" Luo Xiao frowned. Qin Huan was the man's confidant, and it was impossible for the Trumen to attack Ruoqing Villa, so it was impossible to bury Qin Huan hastily, without even a tombstone.

Qin Zhang hesitated for a while, and said, "Master Pei, please follow me." After saying that, he led Luo Xiao home.

In order to go faster, Qin Zhang rented two fast horses halfway, and arrived at a hut by the sea in half an hour.

Qin Zhang got off his horse and said, "Master, wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go."

Luo Xiao saw Qin Zhang enter the hut, and came out after a while, saying: "Villager, please come in."

After getting off the horse, Luo Xiao walked over slowly, only two children could be seen playing with colorful hydrangea through the small door.The two children seemed curious when they saw him, and were called aside by their father.A little further past was a man sitting leisurely on a wicker chair.When the man saw him, he stood up slowly, smiling like a spring mountain, "Xiao'er."

Standing at the door, Luo Xiao felt that the old door frame separated the two worlds of life and death.

"Qin ring?"
