After my rebirth, I brought up my cub and was pampered by the violent prince.

The western city of Chujing was quite prosperous twenty years ago, with the entire Xiao family occupying half of it.

However, after the world changed and the Xiao family was exterminated, the west side of the city became an unlucky place for the upstarts, who all moved to the east side of the city.

The west part of the city is increasingly occupied by poor people.

Some facades cannot be sold by their owners and are difficult to let go of, so they still maintain their original appearance.

But because of the age, the whole street has an air of decay everywhere.

In the elegant room of an inconspicuous wine shop.

Yue Heng's expression was tense, his thin lips were pursed tightly, and his hands were clenched into fists on his knees. It could be seen at a glance that he was looking at the door with excitement while trying his best to hide it.

He had been waiting for a while, but the man hadn't arrived yet.

Just when he thought his old friend wouldn't show up, the door creaked, like a distant sigh.

A woman with a curtain on her head and plain clothes walked in.

Seeing this, Yue Heng subconsciously stood up from his chair, a flash of excitement in his eyes.

After the woman came in, she quickly closed the door.

When she turned around, she stood still, her eyes behind the curtain looking at the man in her memory. She hadn't seen him for twenty years, and there were traces of time on his face.

But her memory stayed as if it was yesterday.

"Hong...Huan..." Yue Heng opened his mouth, not knowing how to call him.

Xiao Hongmo raised her hand and took off her hat, revealing half of her masked face, "Yue Heng, long time no see..."

Yue Heng's eyes shrank, and after a moment, he said solemnly, "Long time no see."

Xiao Hongmo's lips moved slightly, and she walked towards Yue Heng step by step, "Yes, it's been a long time, so long that I actually lost my way.

The tavern we frequented was covered in dirt, itself hidden by the dirt, and I almost didn’t find it. "

The two people sat opposite each other, silent for a long time.

But seeing Xiao Hongmo like this, Yue Heng felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

The woman in front of her has lost the slightest trace of her original appearance.

At that time, Xiao Hongmo was loved by thousands of people. She was the darling of the Xiao family, and she was the true love of Prince Huan.

She is heroic, courageous, and glowing with confidence. No matter where she goes, people can't take their eyes off her.

But at this time, the light in her eyes was half covered by the heavy dusk, leaving only ashes.

Even the similar joke she just said was very forced...

"How have you been these past few years?" Yue Heng was the first to break the silence.

Xiao Hongmo's eyes were in a trance, and she murmured: "My husband is not here, what should I do?"

Only she could hear this sentence. When she raised her eyes, there was a desolate smile in her eyes, "It is a blessing to see my old friend again in my lifetime."

"Back then, I was late..." Yue Heng's eyes were full of guilt.

Xiao Hongmo laughed miserably, "Fortunately you knew it too late, otherwise, who would be able to protect my A-Zhao now?"

As he spoke, Xiao Hongmo's eyes seemed to fall into the stars, "Yue Heng, if you still miss the brotherhood between Ah Huan, I beg you, please protect Ah Zhao and keep her far away. Send her away, let no one find her, okay? I beg you, I beg you Yue Heng..."

Xiao Hongmo's excited expression made Yue Heng feel a little uncomfortable, "Hongmo, calm down. You don't need to beg me like this. I will protect her because she is the only flesh and blood between you and Ah Huan...

But Hong Mo, Yun Zhao is not as weak as you think, she..."

"No, no, no matter how strong and brave she is, she can't resist those lunatics. They are crazy. They are already crazy..." Xiao Hongmo was so anxious that she was incoherent.

Yue Heng sat up straight, leaned forward slightly and said, "Hongmo, do you have something to hide?"

"Don't ask, don't ask Yue Heng, I invited you here today just to tell you that you should leave the capital as soon as possible.

It's best to stay far away from this place of right and wrong, no matter how anonymous it is, don't come to Chujing again..." Xiao Hongmo was full of eagerness.

Yue Heng saw that Xiao Hongmo's whole body seemed to be shrouded in a huge fear, and he couldn't help but comfort him: "Hongmo, if you have anything to hide, tell me, and we will find a solution together..."

Xiao Hongmo became more and more excited, "You don't believe me? What difficulties can I have? Can't you let go of all this glory and wealth?"

This was a bit too much. Just as Yue Heng was about to speak, Xiao Hongmo suddenly stood up, raised his hand and raised his fingers.

Yue Heng couldn't help but listen, and actually vaguely heard the sound of unhurried footsteps approaching here.

Xiao Hongmo's eyes suddenly became panicked.

Without saying a word, he decisively pulled Yue Heng up and pushed him to the cabinet not far away without any further explanation.

He opened the cabinet door, followed his memory, and reached in. In a moment, a secret door appeared behind the cabinet.

She pushed Yue Heng in without saying a word, and closed the cabinet without saying a word.

Just when she sat back in the chair, the door was suddenly opened.

Qin Haomiao appeared at the door, scanning the room with sinister and sharp eyes: "Why is Madam here?"

Xiao Hongmo felt like she couldn't breathe. She pinched her collar tightly with both hands, her body slowly arched up, and her face was full of pain.

Qin Haomiao walked in indifferently, "Answer me, madam."

His voice sounded like a ghost from the underworld in this room filled with old smells.

A fear from the soul swept through Xiao Hongmo. Her heart trembled involuntarily. She stabilized her mind and returned to her usual indifferent appearance. "I just came to see the place where I was a child..."

Qin Haomiao's eyes scanned every clearly visible corner inch by inch, and finally stopped at the wardrobe, "Oh?"

He made a long note and walked over quickly.

When Xiao Hongmo saw this, his heart suddenly felt high and his palms became sweaty.

Qin Haomiao arrived in front of the closet and pulled it open in an unexpected way...

It's empty inside...

Qin Haomiao's eyes narrowed, and when he turned around, his eyes were sinister, "Then why did Madam get rid of the people following her?"

Seeing that Yue Heng was no longer there, Xiao Hongmo calmed down and said angrily: "Qin Haomiao, are you interrogating me? Am I your prisoner?"

Qin Haomiao's eyes changed for a moment, and then he stepped forward with a change of expression, put his hand on her shoulder, and said in a gentle voice, "Hongmo, you are too sensitive. I am concerned about you and nervous about you, can't you feel it?" ? We just came back, I am worried about your safety..."

Xiao Hongmo suddenly pushed Qin Haomiao away, stood up and said coldly: "Qin Haomiao, to be honest, you and I are just doing what we need. I'm not your puppet."

After saying that, she walked out quickly.

Qin Haomiao was left looking at Xiao Hongmo's back, his eyes full of gloom.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a beard on his chin walked in and said, "Master, I suspect that the Queen Mother seems to know something. You have to guard against it."
