As soon as Tang Jiuer's words fell, Grandma's joyful face suddenly turned into a scowl, her eyes flashing with anger as she said, "You don't need to remind me."

  Grandma waved her hand, Tang Jiuer didn't say anything, she pursed her lips and quietly turned around to leave from the side door.

  As soon as Tang Jiuer left, Grandma's joyful expression gradually returned. She rubbed her hands excitedly and turned around the house twice before furrowing her brow and muttering in a low voice: "This is not right, this is too unusual... one has the Heavenly Pulse, and the other has actually read 'Yuan Zhen Lu'..."

  "Red Girl!"

  A voice called out, and Hong Gu came in from the front door: "Grandma."

  "Send a few soul snatchers to investigate Mu Junwu and Hua Rou's identities."

  "Yes." Hong Gu replied and immediately retreated.

  Grandma sat back down on the soft couch, her fingers gently rubbing, her eyes complex.

  Is this heaven's blessing or a deliberate trap?

  ……

  Hua Rou searched for half a day but couldn't find anyone, so she settled down in the east wing house closest to the main hall.

  Her grandmother made her a servant to do chores... Although she was not very happy, it was better than losing her life, so she lived here thinking that it would be convenient for others to find her.

  She was too tired, as soon as she lay down on the bed and stretched out, drowsiness hit her, she yawned twice and fell asleep hugging her luggage.

  In her dream, she floated back to the small courtyard of a farmhouse.

  In the small courtyard, flames shot up to the sky. Her mother and father sat hand in hand on the floor of the main hall, smiling brightly as they gazed at her.

  Mom! Dad!

  She shouted loudly and rushed towards them excitedly, but after running only two steps, it was as if she had been pulled back by something, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get close to her father and mother.

  At this time, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, her mother waved at her, it was a gesture to let her leave.

  Daughter!

  She strained her voice to shout, but she couldn't hear her own voice. At this time, her father's body began to turn yellow like a piece of paper, and then suddenly turned dark black, fluttering and tumbling in the flames like a black butterfly...

  Dad! Dad!

  She waved her arms and tried to take a step, but she was still standing in the same place. Her mother opened her mouth to speak at this moment, and although she couldn't hear her voice, she stared at her lips and knew what she had said.

  Take care, Little Rong...

  Her heart suddenly turned sour and aching, as if pierced by a sharp needle all over her body.

  She opened her eyes, the room was pitch black, and it was already night. Her temples were cool and damp, she reached out to touch them, and they were wet.

  She sighed, sat up, and wiped away her tears with force before getting up to light the candles.

  The candlelight illuminated the room, and also revealed her loneliness and desolation.

  She returned to the bedside, opened the package, and carefully took out the half-section of pearl flower, rubbing it in her palm.

  A white peony accompanied by the green leaves of wisteria, the pattern style is exactly the same as the one on the waistband left to her by her mother...

  She turned over the pearl flower and saw the broken mark.

  Is this half?

  Hua Rou blinked her eyes in confusion, and then looked at the waistbands in the package again, suddenly feeling a sense of suffocation in her heart.

  Daughter, you're useless! You clearly told me to stay away from Shu and the Tang family, but I still...

  She sighed and stuck the pearl flower on her chest.

  "My daughter is unfilial and didn't listen to my words... but I will definitely find an opportunity to leave in the future. However... you, our family's relatives, what exactly is your relationship with the Tang clan? Why do all of you have the same waistband? And why are the embroidered patterns different? Also, those strange assassins, why did they die? Why did they look like that when they died?"

  There was a knock at the door, and Hua Rou quickly put down the pearl flower hairpin, grabbed a quilt from beside her to cover up the package and objects. At this moment, the door creaked open and Tang Jiu'er walked in.

  Hua Rou was anxious and uneasy, staring blankly at her, forgetting to get out of bed or call for someone, while Tang Jiu'er didn't care about her situation at all, simply walking into the room and putting down a food box.

  "Go eat! From now on, go to the kitchen in the southwest corner of Tongmen at mealtime and eat there yourself."

  She finished speaking and walked out with a cold face, without any further conversation.

  Hua Rou slowly got up and walked to the door, seeing Tang Jiu'er lift the bamboo curtain and enter the main hall.

  She turned around and looked at the lunchbox, walked over to open it, a wave of food aroma hit her nose, and she immediately grabbed chopsticks to eat hastily.

  As she ate, her tears fell into the bowl, but she felt a warmth in her heart.

  ……

  "Heavy stone doors of 'Kala' rose up, the dimly lit chamber under the long bright lamp was gloomy and dark yellow."

  Grandma walked into the secret room with a candle holder, lighting up the candles at each of the four corners. Everything in the room became visible now.
