After the violent wolf lord was reborn, he became sickly!

Xiao Linglang frowned, "Then why did he pretend to be mute?"

"It's because he has his eyes on our Xiao Mansion and wants to blackmail us." Chanxin's eyes were blazing with anger, and he put his hands on his hips.

Ah Niu echoed from the side.

Xiao Linglang scratched her loose hair and confirmed with Ah Niu again, "Did he speak?"

"Spoken." Aniu pursed his lips and nodded vigorously.

"Okay, wait."

Xiao Linglang asked Chanxin to wash up first, and then led them out of Wangshu Garden in a heroic manner to call for justice.

He had just taken two steps when he saw the person who was to be questioned appear in the corridor beside the rockery. He walked two steps there at a loss, then retreated hesitantly. After hesitating, he took two more steps forward and stopped, holding onto his chest and holding onto the corridor pillar.

Aniu was completely dumbfounded. How could this...he...make him act like a bully?

Xiao Linglang bit her lip and walked over quickly. When she was two steps away from the man, she stopped.

"Are you... okay?" she asked after a moment's hesitation.

Tuoba Jin slowly raised his head and said in a soothing tone, "It's okay."

The man's voice was lazy and indifferent, and his clear voice was low and a little hoarse, as if it was caused by coughing.

Xiao Linglang was originally furious, but when she saw him covering his chest and coughing from time to time, she softened and stammered, "Can you speak?"

His moist red lips were slightly curled. When Xiao Linglang saw him nod slowly, she didn't know how to question him for a moment. She turned around to look at Chanxin and Aniu, and they also seemed to feel that they were a bit overbearing just now.

Ah Niu: No! I was angry! Angry! When he was talking to me alone, he was still so full of energy!!!

"Then why didn't you say anything before?" Without getting any response, Xiao Linglang had to control her expression and asked again, thinking that she was very serious.

Tuoba Jinfu lowered his head, paused for a moment, and then said: "I... didn't mean it. I'm sorry, they pressed my mute point, and I can't speak."

Xiao Linglang and the other two stayed where they were, looking at each other. Suddenly, curiosity appeared in their eyes.

What is written in the storybook is real!

Xiao Linglang thought of the book she read every day. She raised her voice and asked with interest and concern: "Then how did you untie it? Did you do it by yourself?"

A Niu at the side touched his chin and said, "No wonder there is blood on your chest."

Tuoba Jin didn't say anything. His tall figure suddenly swayed and he fell down.

Xiao Linglang's pupils dilated, and before she could react, her hand had already reached out.

In a flash, Tuoba Jin held on to the pillar to prevent himself from falling to the ground, but Xiao Linglang accidentally loosened the mask on his face.

Xiao Linglang's breathing stagnated. The face of the person in front of her seemed to be sculpted by a court sculptor. Under the tough and sexy outline were deep eyebrows, a high nose, and beautifully curved lips. The breeze from the rockery blew the slightly curly hair down and scattered it in front of his forehead, covering up some of his imposing sharpness and adding a touch of evil charm.

This is not the appearance of a Nanliang person, "You..."

She woke up with a start, took a big step back, and tilted her head to observe him in confusion.

Tuoba Jin held onto the porch pillar and sat on the railing, his posture relaxed as he remained silent, his eyes fixed on the slender figure.

She was a little different from when she was nineteen. Her thick and beautiful eyebrows still had a hint of childishness, and her almond-shaped eyes were less sad and more lively. Her skin was as white as snow and her figure was graceful, like a peony bud about to bloom.

Tuoba Jin suddenly felt his tongue and mouth dry and his throat tight.

He lowered his head.

"I don't mean to be mean to you, don't be afraid." Seeing him lower his head in embarrassment, Xiao Linglang quickly explained that she was just surprised that he was not from Nanliang, and then felt a little strange.

The little girl's dark eyes flickered, Tuoba Jin's eyebrows curved slightly, and he said softly: "I'm not afraid of Miss."

But your tone and demeanor are not like that either. Xiao Linglang twisted the handkerchief and suddenly remembered that he was being chased yesterday. He frowned and said in a vigilant and straightforward voice: "On the contrary, I am a little afraid of you. Why are you wearing a mask, and why are they chasing you with weapons?"

Afraid of him?

Tuoba Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and rubbed his fingertips across the rough cloth, causing a tingling sensation.

He said, "I came to Lin'an with my family to do silk business. We were too high-profile along the way and were targeted by bandits."

It seemed that he was not familiar with Nanliang's language. He stopped to think for a while before choosing his words and continued, "The money was gone, and my family and I were separated. I went to settle accounts with them several times... They were too powerful. The mask, I thought it would make me look powerful."

After saying that, he lowered his head dejectedly.

Xiao Linglang's almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears and her throat was choked. Her father was also killed by thieves. For a moment, she sympathized with him.

I completely let down my guard against him.

She put her fingers together, her frowned brows relaxed, and she apologized to the person in front of her in a soft voice with a little guilt.

Then she comforted him, "My mother is a kind-hearted person. You should stay in the Xiao Mansion first, and recover your health, and then go to settle the accounts with them and find your family."

Xiao Linglang turned around and instructed Chanxin, "Arrange a guest room for this young master to stay in."

Chanxin was still in a daze, and went to arrange the guest rooms in a daze.

Ah Niu was confused. He was not kicked away but was even made a guest of honor.

"Thank you Miss Xiao for taking me in."

Tuoba Jin's gaze was filled with sticky tenderness. Xiao Linglang took another step back. Are the looks of these foreigners so presumptuous? But when she looked over again, there was clearly gratitude in that person's eyes. It seemed that she was overthinking it.

"Your injuries haven't healed yet, so go to the guest room and rest. Don't worry. Since I happened to save you and bring you back, you are a guest of my Xiao Mansion."

"Miss, you are so kind, I have no way to repay you." Tuoba Jin said, "I will not eat for free, I am willing to serve you and repay your kindness."

"No, that's not necessary." Xiao Linglang waved her hands quickly. It could be seen that the other party was a well-educated person. "Sir, you don't have to be polite. If you recover from your injury and contact your family, you can also take a look at the fabrics and silks in my house."

The Xiao family also has a cloth shop and embroidery workshop. If they can sell more goods to foreign countries, Xiao Linglang will bring the goods to the merchants, her cheeks flushed with shame.

A pleasant laugh came from above her head, and she heard the man say, "Okay. But the favor of saving my life is more important to me than anything else. You don't have to be polite when you have something to ask."

"By the way, miss, you don't know my name yet."

Xiao Linglang looked at him.

"Chi Nu."

Yang Qingwan did not say anything for a long time after hearing the servant's report. The nanny frowned, wondering if her young lady was so gullible to believe it?

"Madam, can I ask someone to check?"

Yang Qingwan put down her teacup and answered irrelevantly, "Why are bandits so rampant?"

"Mobei has invaded repeatedly, and the imperial court has launched a northern expedition. These gangsters and bullies have been neglected to control, and banditry has increased." The nanny lowered her eyebrows.

Being careless or not wanting to care are two different things. Yang Qingwan waved her hand, "She said I'm a kind person. How can I, as a mother, refuse her favor? You're so smart. Ask someone to keep an eye on her."

"Yes."
