After hearing Fang Cheng's report, Xie Liuzheng's expression changed.

?

She didn't expect that the farewell a few days ago would be the last time she saw her brother.

?

"Miss, please accept my condolences!"

?

Fang Cheng knew better than anyone how much Xie Liuzheng cared about Pei Zeqiu, but when his men found Pei Zeqiu on the high mountains in the suburbs, they only saw Pei Zeqiu's shoes and some torn pieces of clothes.

?

But Pei Zeqiu's body was not found.

?

Xie Liuzheng couldn't help but hold on to a glimmer of hope.

?

"Fang Cheng, do you think my brother will be rescued by others? Is he still waiting for me safely in a corner?"

?

Fang Cheng remained silent on this.

?

He also wanted to follow the young lady's words and comfort her, but the people he sent to protect Pei Zeqiu saw it clearly. When Pei Zeqiu discovered a rare herb, he rushed to pick it, but accidentally slipped and fell off the cliff!

?

As soon as Fang Cheng received the news, he sent people to search and rescue at the bottom of the cliff. Without any results, he found some remains of bones and traces of wolves at the bottom of the cliff.

?

In this regard, Fang Cheng felt that Pei Zeqiu's skills were not enough to fight against those wolves.

?

So he felt that there was a high probability that Mr. Pei had been killed by the wolves.

?

What he could think of, Xie Liuzheng could naturally think of as well.

?

She couldn't help but burst into tears.

?

"Brother! Didn't we agree that we should share happiness and difficulties? But why did you leave me first?"

?

Xie Liuzheng couldn't help but murmur, and at the same time she felt very guilty.

?

"I knew about the threat in the back mountain, but I didn't warn you, and I didn't make full preparations. I only sent one person to follow you up the mountain! Brother, this is all my fault!"

?

Having said this, Xie Liuzheng lay down on the table and burst into tears.

?

She really regretted not accompanying her brother to collect herbs, but letting him take the risk alone.

?

At the same time, Xie Liuzheng was very sad. She had finally got a brother who was not a biological brother but was better than a biological brother, but he was gone so suddenly.

?

Her heart suddenly seemed to be cut into pieces and could never be put back together again.

?

Seeing the young lady so sad, Qiuyue wanted to comfort her, but she burst into tears instead.

?

"Woo woo! How could Mr. Pei, such a good person, just disappear like this?"

?

So Qiuyue, who was supposed to persuade the young lady, hugged Xie Liuzheng and cried bitterly.

?

Xie Liuzheng cried until her tears dried up, but she knew in her heart that it was useless to grieve now.

?

My brother-in-law will never come back.

?

For this reason, Xie Liuzheng looked gloomy. She had not eaten or drunk for two days, which made Qiuyue and Fang Cheng very anxious!

?

"Miss, just eat something. These are all your favorite dishes! There are lotus roots and lotus seed soup..."

?

Qiuyue found different ways to prepare delicious food for Xie Liuzheng every day, but Xie Liuzheng didn't even taste a bite. He just sat in his brother's room in a daze.

?

In Pei Zeqiu's study, there are also calligraphy works he copied.

?

Pei Zeqiu is a gentle man, and his handwriting is elegant and timeless.

?

Xie Liuzheng seemed to see his sworn brother smiling at him, "Liuzheng, it's okay, I'm here. No matter what happens, I'll be with you."

?

This made Xie Liuzheng feel even more regretful and self-blaming.

?

If possible, she really wanted to go with her brother.

?

But she can't!

?

She still had revenge to take and a mother to protect. Even though Xie Liuzheng wanted to leave this cruel world with her brother, she held back.

?

Xie Liuzheng only allowed himself to be vulnerable for a few days.

?

That night, she lay on her brother-in-law's desk, cried until she was tired, and then fell asleep in a daze.

?

She seemed to see her brother, and he was looking at her lovingly.

?

"Liu Zheng, you must not be depressed any more! Life must go on, and your brother is just protecting you in another way."

?

Seeing her brother as gentle as when they first met, Xie Liuzheng burst into tears. She cried and wanted to rush over to hug her brother, but she passed through his body.

?

She couldn't touch him.

?

"Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well! I should have dissuaded you from going..."

?

Xie Liuzheng cried to Pei Zeqiu.

?

She has been blaming herself all the time these past two days, but blaming herself would not make her brother come back to her.

?

Later, when Xie Liuzheng saw that her brother was about to disappear, she hurriedly chased after him, but his figure gradually disappeared from her sight until he could no longer be seen.

?

"Sworn brother!"

?

Xie Liuzheng suddenly shouted and waved her hands, trying to grab something, until she felt something in her right hand.

?

When Xie Liuzheng opened his eyes, he saw that there was a jade pendant in his palm. The jade pendant was emerald green in color, and was engraved with patterns that Xie Liuzheng could not understand.

?

"What's going on? Could this be something my brother left for me?"

?

Xie Liuzheng was worried, so she called Qiuyue, who had been guarding her outside, to question her.

?

"I just fell asleep. Has anyone come in? Or did you see anyone come in here?"

?

In response, Qiuyue shook her head and said, "Miss, are you too sad? Did you see Mr. Pei?"

?

"Although I miss Mr. Pei, Miss, why do I feel that what you said is so creepy?"

?

Xie Liuzheng ignored her and turned to look at the jade pendant in her hand. She became even more convinced that it must be her sworn brother who appeared in her dream and gave her a jade pendant!

?

Otherwise she really couldn't explain all this!

?

I thought that even though my brother is no longer with us, he is still thinking about me.

?

A warm feeling flowed through Xie Liuzheng's heart.

?

She feels very lucky.

?

Of course, other people may scoff at these stories about ghosts, gods and strange powers, thinking that they are just nonsense.

?

But for Xie Liuzheng, who was reborn, since she could be reborn, it was normal for her sworn brother to appear in her dream, not to mention that she had an extra jade pendant in her hand.

?

"Brother, I will carry on your faith and live well! I will also treasure the jade pendant you gave me!"

?

This was a token of love from her sworn brother. Xie Liuzheng then went to find a red string, carefully weaved the jade pendant with the string, and then wore it around her neck.

?

She swore that from now on, unless she died, she would always wear the jade pendant given to her by her sworn brother!

?

"Brother, I will live with your share! Your spirit in heaven must protect me!"

?

On the third day, Xie Liuzheng, for the first time ever, took the initiative to ask for food without waiting for Qiuyue to come to her.

?

Qiuyue burst into laughter immediately.

?

"Miss, have you finally figured it out? I'll go prepare food for you right away!"

?

In response, Xie Liuzheng didn't say anything. She just reached out and silently stroked the jade pendant hanging around her neck.
