He Ruhui actually didn't do anything, but almost everything she did was not a good thing, especially for Xiao Ran.

Don't want the courtyard that Xiao Ran arranged for her. I wanted to live in Bai Ye's courtyard, but I was not satisfied after looking at it.After Xiao Ran walked around the whole White Mansion with her, He Ruhui picked Xiao Ran's courtyard very discerningly.So now, He Ruhui lives in that courtyard, and Xiao Ran moved into a small courtyard.

She placed the servants she brought from her natal family in the White House, and even forced Director Liu to give her cronies some special positions of power.

Every time I saw Xiao Ran, I would run out of words, the cynicism made Xiao Ran become more silent, the time to go out and open the shop every day was getting earlier, and when I returned home, I always waited until it was completely dark before closing the shop reluctantly and going back. .

This time the delivery was originally arranged to find a worker to drive the carriage, but Xiao Ran suddenly said that he wanted to go by himself, and he would go to the neighboring county by himself without any company.No matter how willing Shi Er and shopkeeper Liu were, they tried to persuade them, but Xiao Ran still insisted on going by himself, and without explaining much, he said with a gentle smile that it was the first time in the New Year, and he went there in person to show his sincerity.

Later, Shi Er felt a little better, guessing that Xiao Ran didn't want to face that woman again in the White Mansion, so he softened his tone and asked if he should find a servant to accompany him?Xiao Ran still didn't want it, so he got into the carriage and left by himself in the afternoon.

"Second Master, Third Master really doesn't want to stay with Madam anymore." In the end, Shi Er boldly raised his head and said solemnly to Bai Ye as if summing up.

Bai Ye's face was so ugly that Shi Er was so frightened that he dared to take one look and immediately lowered his head. After a while, he heard Bai Ye's questioning with gritted teeth: "Who gave Ruhui so much power to let her Can you give so many orders in the mansion? Who allowed Xiao Ran to move out? Tell me!"

Hearing this, Shi Er frowned and pouted, his originally delicate and lovely face wrinkled into a ball with some baby fat on it. "Second master, this is what the third master ordered!"

He Ruhui had to pick out the yard first when entering the door. When she asked Xiao Ran to vacate his yard for herself, not to mention Manager Liu refusing, even none of their servants were willing to do it, no matter how ugly He's face was. No one is willing to move even the harsh scolding, even He Ruhui's huge money to lure him can't help it.

Think about it, not to mention second master's orders, even they all like third master themselves.Even if they have a good temper, they still think of them in everything. Even if it was to win over their feelings during the New Year's Eve dinner, they would rather be won over. Besides, Shi Er was the closest to Xiao Ran at that time, and he could see Xiao Ran's red-eyed appearance a few times. in the eyes.When I was chatting with Shuxi before, Kuxi told him that the third master had lost his relatives, so the second master originally wanted to take the third master back to celebrate the New Year. First, he officially showed it to the old lady. He was also afraid that Xiao Ran would appear to be alone.Shi Er is not stupid, as soon as the two associate with each other, they can understand that Xiao Ran is happy to have so many people accompanying them to celebrate the new year.

There are many children like Shi Er who are young but still considered old disciples. They are all orphans, and they were picked up by Xuantianmen to raise them.The Xuantianmen provides food and clothing for them, for them to go to school and practice martial arts, and they will focus on training those who are talented.When they are ten years old, they will make their own choice whether to join Xuantianmen or not.Those who are willing can stay, and those who are unwilling are not forced. They are just educated separately from the remaining children. When they are sixteen or seventeen years old, they are given money so that they can rely on themselves.

Where is Xuantianmen most open and aboveboard?Even if you will not become his disciple in the future, he will not hide his secrets.Shi Er remembered that there was a boy in his group, and he was the only one left alive after his whole family was murdered by gangsters.That kid is very talented in martial arts, several instructors like him very much, even though they all say that he is too murderous, they still teach him wholeheartedly, even though the boy doesn't want to enter the Xuantian Sect, he has never changed his attitude.Later, the boy went to take the martial arts examination, found the evidence of the gangster's murder and robbery, and personally slaughtered the scourge with a dog's head. Now he is working as a guard for a certain patrolling lord in the southern area, and he is also a well-known good official.

Shi Er didn't think so much back then, he just thought that everyone in Xuantianmen was a good person. His dead father said that he would not become bad if he followed a good person, so when asked whether he wanted to stay or not, he nodded without hesitation. .

He also wandered alone in the rivers and lakes for a long time before entering the gate, and he still remembers the excitement of the first festival at Xuantianmen.That was the first year he officially entered the school. People from the whole Wuzhou city branch came. Fifteen to six large round tables were set up in the huge hall. Those who are in Wuzhou City will drag their children and their families to the scene.Shi Er only remembers that people with eyes full of people can only hear laughter, drinks and children's play in their ears.Without the usual seniority and the usual seriousness and restraint, several principals who usually seemed unattainable were grabbed and poured wine, and their faces were flushed red.Who talked nonsense, who fell under the table and fell asleep, who took advantage of the alcohol and confessed loudly to his favorite for a long time... I remember that he was red-eyed that day, just like the others. Wazi raised the corners of his mouth to watch the excitement, but at the same time couldn't wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

So when he saw Li Ran's red-eyed look that day, he immediately thought of himself many years ago, and he understood what they were to Xiao Ran, not just the people who lived in the same courtyard that he saw every day, but also Or, also relatives.

Can you just watch your relatives being bullied by others, and help outsiders to step on him?

Shi Er couldn't do such a thing, and most of the servants in the White Mansion also thought so, no one was willing to take a step forward.

It was Xiao Ran who moved first. He patted Director Liu who "coincidentally" stood sideways in front of him, took a step forward, turned around and looked around at the people in the White Mansion surrounding him, his lips seemed to twitch, and then picked up two Seeing him lowering his eyes slowly, the hands hidden in the long sleeves seemed to move a little bit, after a while, Xiao Ran raised his head, his eyes were full of tiredness and rare determination.

He saw Xiao Ran pulling Steward Liu to the side, and hurriedly followed.He heard Xiao Ran say to Butler Liu, "You all do as Madam tells you."

"But third master..."

Xiao Ran forced a smile. "I know you take care of me, but this is your second master's wife, and I..."

"I'm just the second master's brother-in-law. Familiarity is different after all. Don't make things difficult for me and my wife. Besides, my wife is pregnant, your future young son. If she gets angry and loses her body, it will be a big crime... ...Okay, Director Liu, let's make it so, and you will do whatever Madam tells you from now on, if Bai Ye...if he blames him, then say it was my decision."

Shi Er seemed to hear Li Ran answering very lightly, "If he will blame him..." Shi Er raised his head in doubt, but Xiao Ran had turned his face away and looked up at the people in the White House. "That's it, just do what Madam says. Shi Er, you go in and clean up with me."

After hearing this, Bai Ye remained silent and just took a few steps forward.

"Then why did you change the name to Third Master and call him Young Master Xiao again?"

"...Madam said that the Bai family had never heard of a young master, and he even laughed at the third master for being ashamed of being a sage. We were all so angry at the time, but the third master still smiled and said, Madam is right, He is just an outsider who lives in the White Mansion, let Mr. Liu and us change back to the title of Young Master Xiao." After a pause, Shier said in a low voice: "Second master, Madam, she really...really treats the third master... ...Second master, sometimes we really can't stand it anymore, but seeing the third master forced a smile to comfort us...Even if it's for the sake of the third master, we can only endure this!"

As Shi Er spoke, the sockets of his eyes began to turn red.During this period of time, no one in the mansion had a hard time. Everyone was ordered and scolded by He Ruhui or the two cronies she brought, and Shier was no exception, because he always refused to obediently follow He Ruhui's orders. Been scolded several times.But think about it, who in the house would suffer more than Xiao Ran?Who can be more uncomfortable than... the third master?

For li xuan's sake, they all endured it, but who was holding their breath in their hearts?

Bai Ye nodded in silence, and regardless of whether he was in the city, he took the reins from the second hand and turned on the saddle. "I'll go back to the mansion first, you can run back by yourself."

"Yes, Second Master!"

Hurrying back to the White Mansion, Housekeeper Liu, who had already received the news of Bai Ye's return, was already guarding the gate, and when he saw Bai Ye galloping towards him, he immediately stepped forward to meet him.Bai Ye pulled the rein to rein in the horse's head and threw the rein to Manager Liu.

"Second Master, you are back!"

"Yes." Bai Ye got off the horse and walked straight in. "Where's the lady?"

"Ma'am should be taking a nap at the moment. Second Master, Mr. Xiao... No, Third Master went out to a neighboring county yesterday afternoon. Shi Er said that he didn't bring anyone with him, and he won't be back until this afternoon. Hall Master Niu said that he sent someone Follow along, you..." Manager Liu handed the reins to the door boy, and said as he walked behind Bai Ye.

"...Ask two people to pick him up along the official road, and escort him back as soon as he finds it."

"Yes." Manager Liu responded and gave orders immediately, while he continued to follow Bai Ye inside.

"Which yard did Xiao Ran move to?"

"...The northernmost small courtyard is the worst one in the entire mansion. We have persuaded the third master that even if we really want to move, we can move to a guest courtyard, but my wife liked it very much after seeing it. It is suitable for the identity of the third master. The third master smiled when he heard it, and asked us to move all his things into the small yard. "

"Take me there."

"Second Master, go this way."

After walking a few steps, she suddenly heard a soft call. "Sir, you are back."

Bai Ye twitched his eyebrows, stopped and turned around slowly. "Ruhui, why did you come to Wuzhou City suddenly?"

"Sir, what are you talking about..." She walked gracefully to Bai Ye's side, put her slender hand on Bai Ye's arm, and deliberately covered her mouth with a light smile while sticking out her belly, which was already visibly protruding. "I've been pregnant for almost half a year, and I haven't seen you go back to Jiankang City once. I miss you very much, and I don't want you to miss such an important event as the birth of a child. I heard that you have bought a business in Wuzhou, so I deliberately rushed away. Come here, let’s have a family reunion.”

Seeing her big belly pulling him, Bai Ye didn't dare to walk recklessly, so he could only stand still. "Then why didn't you send someone to deliver a message before you came?"

"Aiya, didn't they want to give you a surprise? But who knew that you came all the way here, Mr. Xiang, but you returned to the Xuantian Gate... I spent the whole year on the road, Mr. Xiang, how do you want to compensate me? "While speaking, her soft body moved closer, snuggling up against Bai Ye's body, and her breasts, which were more plump due to pregnancy, were directly attached to Bai Ye's arms.

Bai Ye... felt nauseous for a while, his eyes were fixed and he wanted to push He Ruhui away, Shi Er stumbled and pulled someone to run in. "Second Master, Second Master, Third Master is back!"

Seeing Xiao Ran, who was dragged in from the gate by Shi Er all the way in and was out of breath, raised his eyes, and what he saw was the beautiful picture of a hero with a beauty in front of him—no, with He Ruhui's dazzling smile and The raised belly, no matter what, should be a harmonious family.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.
