"No."
Yan Gui raised his hand and stroked her cheek, then lowered his head to her ear and whispered, "If you don't believe me, I'll take off all my clothes and let you check it tonight."
Wei Yang's face flushed red. She didn't expect that he was still in the mood to joke at this time. She wanted to reach out and push him away, not to listen to his nonsense.
But, she thought with a blushing face, she actually liked him like this.
She tried to control the trembling of her hands, and held the corner of Yan Gui's clothes tightly in her palms. She was afraid that she would not be able to resist reaching out to touch her hot cheeks, which must be burning now.
Yan Gui lowered his eyes and looked at her tangled hands. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. This girl was shy again.
"Silly girl."
The man couldn't help but feel soft-hearted and asked, "Are you still afraid now?"
Wei Yang was startled, and when she looked up, she met Yan Gui's smiling eyes. She loosened her grip and punched him: "Don't be afraid anymore."
She was really not afraid anymore. She walked out of the house and looked at the burnt marks on the east yard and the flowers and trees that had been trampled down in the yard.
"Those thieves thought we lived in the East Courtyard. They went there but couldn't find us, and then they were discovered again, so they set fire in anger." Yan Gui left the house after having dinner with Wei Yang. This was what Nanny Li said to her.
"Yeah." Wei Yang looked around casually and walked back: "Is anyone injured?"
Nanny Li naturally knew what Wei Yang meant by not asking: "Only a dozen guards were injured in the mansion, but I don't know about the situation outside the mansion."
Wei Yang nodded: "I heard from the general that Xiaohua has been found?"
"Yes, Madam." Madam Li paused for a moment and told the news she knew one by one: "Xiaohua is the eldest daughter of the third son of the Gao family, and the second legitimate daughter of the Gao family. The third wife of Gao, who was at the flower viewing banquet held by Madam last time, is her stepmother."
"Oh." Wei Yang frowned and asked doubtfully, "Although Mrs. Gao likes to talk nonsense, she shouldn't be that bad. Would she dare to sell her legitimate daughter?"
Madam Li shook her head and smiled. "How could that be possible? It's all my fault for not explaining myself clearly. The Third Madam Gao treats Xiaohua, oh no, the Second Miss Gao, quite well."
"Then why was Xiaohua kidnapped by the kidnapper?" Xiaocao asked anxiously.
Nanny Li glanced at Xiaocao and saw that she immediately stood aside obediently before continuing, "It was not Madam Gao Er who did the evil thing. It was Miss Gao Er's uncle, the Third Young Master of the Chen Family, who deliberately brought the child out to Miss Gao Er to intimidate Madam Gao Er. Alas, who knew that something went wrong and the child was lost. It has been lost for three years!"
Xiaocao was surprised and was about to ask, but then she realized something was wrong and quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
Even Wei Yang was shocked by this ridiculous story. How could there be such an uncle in the world, who had no brains at all and almost ruined his niece's life.
"What did Xiaohua say when she returned?" Wei Yang couldn't help but ask, "Does the Gao family still treat her the same as before?"
She is a little girl who has been abducted for three whole years. Her reputation is undoubtedly ruined. I wonder if the Chen family will accept her as a legitimate daughter.
"She was secretly locked up. Xiaohua is also very capable. She first sent someone to deliver a letter to the third uncle of the Chen family. Over the years, her third uncle has been feeling guilty for losing his niece, so he came to the Gao family to ask for her. The two families quarreled and even fought. The next thing will be up to the general."
