When Ruan Xianbei saw Mu Huaxiao again, the discomfort rising from the bottom of her heart hit her again.
The first time in Cangshan, someone in the crowd looked at her and made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Was it him?
It's just that that time she didn't pay careful attention to Mu Huaxiao, and Mu Huaxiao didn't pay attention to her. Today, they officially met after Ruan Xianbei escaped from the prison.
This man was clearly well-dressed, gentle and elegant, and he didn't look as greasy as a middle-aged man, but everything about his body from his hair to the soles of his shoes made Ruan Xianbei uncomfortable.
This was probably about seeing the essence through the appearance. Although she was disgusted, she couldn't avoid meeting his eyes. She couldn't lose her momentum!
No matter what Ruan Xianbei thought of him, Mu Huaxiao was very pleased to see the slim and graceful girl in front of him.
As for the murderous intent and defense in the girl's eyes, they can't make any waves for the time being and can be ignored.
"Not bad, very calm." Mu Huaxiao praised that the girl did not yell and kill her as soon as they met. "You look very much like your mother."
When talking about Ruan Xianbei's mother, Mu Huaxiao's eyes were smiling and full of tenderness.
In short, imagine that this person killed your father, took his father's hard work, and forced your mother to commit suicide. He ruined your family and imprisoned your brother and sister for experiments when you were young. Now he pretends to be affectionate and old acquaintances with your parents. It feels like being stepped on by shit.
It was obvious that enemies were extremely jealous when meeting each other, but Mu Huaxiao said that he was like in Friends. Ruan Xianbei was so disgusted that she almost vomited. She sneered and asked, "I am also very similar to my father."
Ruan Xianbei stood upright. She refused to drink the tea that Mu Huaxiao asked her to pour. She also refused to sit down when he came in and asked her to sit down.
Mu Huaxiao wasn't angry either. He looked at her carefully and then smiled and said, "Indeed, she has a similar temperament."
"I want to see my mother."
"Okay." Mu Huaxiao agreed readily. He took out a black cloth and said, "But I have to cover your eyes."
Ruan Xianbei looked at the black cloth, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"I won't hurt you." Mu Huaxiao said.
Ruan Xianbei stared at him but took the black cloth and covered her eyes. Mu Huaxiao wanted to lead her away, but she pulled back her sleeves and said coldly: "I can walk by myself."
Mu Huaxiao didn't force it, he just reminded Ruan Xianbei where there were tables and chairs. Ruan Xianbei was led by him for a few steps in the room. It was not known whether he led him around a few times on purpose and then stopped.
With a slight creak, she heard the secret door open.
Something must have been turned to open the secret door. She frowned and talked about these details carefully, trying to remember them as much as possible.
Then Mu Huaxiao's voice sounded from in front: "They are all stairs, walk slowly."
What appeared behind the door was a long staircase. Ruan Xianbei felt that her eyes were darkened. The light was obviously much lower. The walls were lined with fine luminous pearls, but the weak light was not enough to penetrate the black cloth. She counted the steps in her mind. After reaching the thirty-sixth step, we reached the level ground.
"Watch the threshold."
The loss of vision made her senses sharper. There were different breathing sounds around her, and there should be more than a dozen guards guarding her along the way.
"The owner of the village.@*~~"
Mu Huaxiao nodded lightly to them and continued walking in. Ruan Xianbei passed three thresholds and three gates in total. The first gate was guarded by people, but there was no sound from the second gate and the third gate. The temperature in the room at the third door gave her goosebumps.
It's so cold.
This room was like a world of ice and snow. As soon as I entered, I felt cool, and then my whole body felt like I had fallen into an ice cellar. It remained below freezing.
Ruan Xianbei, who had this knowledge, knew clearly that he was entering the place where her mother's body was stored.
She heard the sound of the stone door closing, and Mu Huaxiao said, "We're here."
The maids serving in the room all retreated. She took off the black cloth and saw decorations made of various ice sculptures and crystal chandeliers arranged like a palace, and the ice sculpture in the center. The coffin made her walk over unconsciously.
The woman's face came into her eyes. She squatted down and put her hand on the coffin. Cold warmth came from her fingertips. The woman's mouth was smiling, as if she had eaten a poisoned apple.
Snow White is like Sleeping Beauty whose finger was pricked by a cursed sewing machine, but she just fell into a deep sleep.
However, a faint trace of blood could be vaguely seen on the woman's neck. Ruan Xianbei's heart sank. This must be proof that her mother committed suicide. ao
"Mom, Ruan Ruan is here. @·无码开~~" Ruan Xianbei said softly.
Mu Huaxiao stood aside and said, "Yun Xin, your daughter is here to see you."
Kou Yunxin's face will always remain in her twenties. Although her body was well preserved by Mu Huaxiao more than ten years ago, it is almost the same as Ruan Xianbei now.
"You look like her, right." Mu Huaxiao said, "She shouldn't sleep here, you know? She always wanted to be a girl before you were born. When others went to the temple to ask for a child, she went to the temple to have a child. Li Qiu, she will be happier than anyone else after you are born."
"She said you were the baby given to you by the Goddess of the Nine Heavens after hearing her wish, so she named you Senbei. She held you in her arms and fed you. She refused the nanny's help. She said she wanted to give you the best in the world. I left everything to you, but she left early, how many memories of her do you still have?"
"I have been waiting for this day for many years. Now the time and place are right, Beibei, will you resurrect your mother with me?"
Mu Huaxiao's voice seemed to be able to confuse people, and he spoke in a high-sounding way, as if he was thinking about Ruan Xianbei wholeheartedly.
"I miss her very much, don't you miss her?"
Ruan Xianbei glanced at Kou Yunxin with nostalgia. The woman's peaceful face made her eyes feel a little astringent. She stood up and said to Mu Huaxiao: "It was you who killed her. It was you who killed her husband that caused her heartache." Regarding life and death, how desperate must she be to abandon her young children and choose to kill herself? How can you say so with a clear conscience? "
As if he didn't expect Ruan Xianbei to say this, Mu Huaxiao's pupils shrank, he took a step back and shook his head and said, "Beibei, what are you talking about? I didn't kill her. I love her so much. How could I hurt her?"
Ruan Xianbei held the coffin behind her with one hand, and the biting coldness made her calm down a lot. She said: "So you designed to poison her husband, and you forced her to commit herself to you. This is an insult to her. Do you dare to say that you didn’t do this?!”
Mu Huaxiao frowned and swayed a little. He looked like he was in pain as he held himself up.
Ruan Xianbei felt something didn't look right, so she took a step back to distance the two of them.
Mother, bless me, this man won't be sick, right?
"Haha." The room fell into silence for a moment. Mu Huaxiao pressed his left hand on his temple and raised his head. His temperament changed.
When he looked at Ruan Xianbei, Ruan Xianbei took a breath of cold air. That time when someone looked at him in Cangshan, the sticky and cold feeling really arose again.
Mu Huaxiao had a slight smile on his face and said a little irritably: "Why did he bring you in?"
He raised his eyes and looked at Ruan Xianbei, his eyes were like a cold poisonous snake. He smiled faintly and said, "So what if I killed him? Ruan Yi deserves to die.".
