    Rich Xiaojiabiyu

    Lan Xun hurried back to the house and closed the door.

    She took out a letter from her arms, read it carefully, and then placed the letter on the candlelight and burned it to ashes.

    After doing this, she stood up again and came to the bed. She groped carefully in the corner of the bed and took out a palm-sized wooden box.

    She bit her lip nervously and slowly opened the box.

    The box contained a few pieces of loose silver that she had accumulated over the years, as well as some small jewelry, which although not valuable, was exquisite and small.

    But Lan Xun found that the jade pendant was missing.

    Yes, the jade pendant, to be precise, is Cui Zizhan’s jade pendant.

    The Cui brothers each have one piece, which is different. It was a congratulatory gift from Mr. Li.

    Lan Xun was horrified, put the box aside, and went to look for it on the bed.She bowed her body, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her face, and she refused to let go of even the corners.

    “Are you looking for this?”

    Suddenly, a male voice sounded from the corner of the room, like thunder, making Lan Xun’s face turn pale.

    Only then did she realize that there was another person in the room, hidden behind the curtain.She was so preoccupied just now that she didn’t even notice.

    The man opened the curtain, his figure was slender, handsome and slim.He held a piece of emerald jade pendant in his hand. The jade was warm and delicate, and one could tell at a glance that it was of high quality.

    His face gradually became clear from the darkness, and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he was affectionate.

    ——It is Cui Zizhan.

    Lan Xun knelt on the ground with a plop and said in a trembling voice:

    “Mr. Gongzi.”

    Cui Zizhan responded and walked directly in front of her, walking leisurely, as if he was strolling in a garden.

    “Why is this jade pendant here with you?”

    He was playing with the string on the jade pendant with his free hand, his expression was calm, and he did not distinguish between joy and anger.

    Lan Xun almost laid his head on the ground, layers of dense cold sweat broke out on his body, mixed with her makeup, and slowly fell to the ground.

    “Maid, maid…”

    She was trembling, not knowing how to speak.

    She had no choice, she was not a born child, she was just a bought maid.The lives of everyone in the family are in the hands of that adult.

    “Are you from Chenhe Village?”

    Seeing Lan Xun swallowing without saying a word, Cui Zizhan sneered and said,

    “There are young brothers and sisters at home, am I right?”

    Lan Xun suddenly raised his head, eyes wide, looking at him in disbelief.

    Cui Zizhan leaned down, his usually gentle and affectionate eyes were as cold as frost, making people feel cold from the soles of their feet to their heart and lungs:

    “If he can find someone, I can naturally do it too.”

    As he spoke, he took something out of his sleeve and waved it in front of Lan Xun’s eyes.

    It was a longevity lock, with rough workmanship. It was obviously an old thing and had been worn for some years.

    Lan Xun recognized at a glance that it belonged to his younger brother. At that moment, he felt a little confident, but it disappeared in an instant.

    She slumped down, her face ashen.

    ————

    As soon as Li Xin woke up, he called Guifu to come in and wait on him.

    She is afraid of heat and gets sleepy in the summer. She has to take a nap at noon every day, otherwise she will not be energetic for the next half day.

    Guifu came in with the things for washing and put them aside. He stepped forward and said a few words in Li Xin’s ear.

    “Redemption?”

    She was a little confused,

    “Did Lan Xun’s parents redeem her?”

    The night before yesterday, she had discussed Lan Xun’s matter with Cui Zizhan. Why was it only two days before she had someone redeem him?

    Most of the slaves of the Li family were born into the family, but the Li family’s roots were not deep, and many of them were bought from outside.As Li Xin’s eldest maid, she was supposed to have signed a death contract, but she turned out to be a kind-hearted person and granted permission for Na Lan Xun and Zhu Yan to redeem their lives.

    But I didn’t expect it to come so quickly.
