Leng Hua walked in from outside and was startled to see the lady in the yard with red eyes and crying. He asked, "Madam, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" At the same time, he looked at his sister with an inquiring look.
"It's okay." Shangguan Wanrong shook her head.
Leng Shuang stood up and said, "It's all my fault. I talked about the master's past and made the lady sad and cry."
Hearing this, Leng Hua finally felt relieved and smiled gently: "Madam, the past is over, you don't have to be sad, the master is doing well now, I don't think she wants you to be sad about her past."
"Yes, I know." Shangguan Wanrong responded and wiped away her tears.
Leng Hua stepped forward and said, "By the way, Madam, the master's sworn brother is here. His name is Guan Xilin. The master should have mentioned him to you!"
"Is it him? Is he here?" Shangguan Wanrong was slightly startled, then stood up: "Xiao Jiu told me about her brother, where is he?"
"He's in the front hall. He just arrived in the city today. He said he met the master and came to pay his respects knowing that the lady is here." Leng Hua said, "He also brought news about the master."
Hearing this, Shangguan Wanrong hurriedly said, "Then I'll go see him quickly." Then she asked Leng Hua and Leng Shuang to accompany her and went forward together.
In the hall, Guan Xilin was drinking tea and waiting. After a while, he heard footsteps outside and looked outside. When he saw the person coming, he quickly put down his teacup and stood up.
"Xi Lin greets his stepmother." He stepped forward, and after Shangguan Wanrong entered the hall, he knelt on one knee and bowed.
Hearing him call her stepmother, Shangguan Wanrong hurried forward to help him up: "Get up, get up." After she helped him up, she looked at him. Looking at the burly and strong man in front of her, Shangguan Wanrong nodded.
"I've always heard Xiaojiu mention your brother, and today I finally get to meet him. Come, sit down and talk." She motioned for him to sit down, and at the same time walked to the hall and sat down.
"Thank you, stepmother." Guan Xilin said with a smile, and then he looked at the person in the main seat curiously. When he saw her young appearance, he couldn't help but smile: "Stepmother, Xiaojiu has been looking for you for so long, and finally found you. If stepfather knew, he would definitely be very happy."
"Yes, it's not easy for that child either. I haven't been with her for so many years, and she has suffered so much." She said with emotion, looking at Guan Xilin and said, "But fortunately, she has a brother like you to take care of her. She told me that you are very good to her and take good care of her. Thank you so much."
"These are what I should do, and to be honest, she helps me more." Guan Xilin felt a little embarrassed. After all, he didn't really help his sister with anything. On the contrary, she helped him a lot.
Hearing this, Shangguan Wanrong said, "Family members should not have different opinions. Brothers and sisters should support and care for each other. Although you two are sworn brothers and sisters, you are better than biological children. When I knew that Xiaojiu had a brother like you, I was also very happy."
"You must be tired after traveling all the way. I asked Leng Shuang to clean up the room for you. Eat something to fill your stomach and have a good rest."
"Thank you, stepmother." He smiled and nodded, saying, "I met Xiaojiu on my way back. She asked me to tell you not to worry about her. She will be safe with Xuanyuan Moze by her side. She will be back soon as she finishes her business."
