The sun is bright after the rain and the air is fresh and pleasant.

Rong Lan was about to leave Qingrongyuan when the ghost Taoist entered the gate. The sound of the crutch was on the bluestone road, crisp and loud. Although he was blind and disabled, his face was rosy and his steps were steady, which was much better than when he first came to Rong's house.

"Rong Lan?" The ghost Taoist felt a keen hearing and could quickly identify the identities of most people in the mansion from the sound of footsteps.

"It's me." Rong Lan responded.

"I heard from the girl Ying say you are unconscious. I come over and see, is that okay?" The ghost Taoist subconsciously turned his head and his ears were aimed at Rong Lan.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine," said Rong Lan.

"Where are you going?" asked the ghost Taoist.

"Go to the warm room to meet the distinguished guest who is visiting today, Xiaoxiao's father." Rong Lan said.

The ghost Taoist turned around, "I'm going with you! Ask him why the Chu family was blind at the beginning and took in Su Yan's heartless thing!"

Rong Lan helped the ghost Taoist out, but the ghost Taoist did not push her away.

But Rong Lan couldn't accept the words of the ghost Taoist just now. Isn't the first person to take in Su Yan in times of danger the ghost Taoist herself? Moreover, Su Yan's martial arts and learning are all masters of the ghost Taoist.

The deep resentment of the ghost Taoist for his beloved disciple who had high hopes for the time and parted without saying goodbye, has not faded at all for so many years, and it has become even worse because of the past two years.

Rong Yuancheng and Rong Yuanshun were both going to accompany Rong Lan, but Rong Lan asked them to go back separately.

After Rong Lan and Gui Dao Ren left Qingrongyuan, they walked towards the warmer pavilion.

Halfway through the way, the ghost Taoist sighed, "Although Su Mo and Yuanqiu girl fell into Su Yan's hands, Su Yan won't do anything to them. Don't scare yourself!"

Suddenly, he heard the ghost Taoist who had always spoken bluntly or even had a very sarcastic tongue and didn't give anyone any face to comfort her. Rong Lan sighed slightly, "I understand."

"What's the use of understanding..." The ghost Taoist muttered, "If you don't worry, you're going to be a ghost!"

The mansion did not become lively because of the return of Rong Yuanlang and others. Instead, the atmosphere became quieter because Rong Lan was unconscious. Before Rong Lan woke up, almost all the people in the mansion had come to see her, but were persuaded to leave by Rong Yuancheng.

Rong Lan's figure appeared at the door of the warm pavilion. Through the semi-transmissive gauze curtain, Chu Xiaoxiao was the first to see her and immediately got up and ran over!

"Aunt Rong!" Chu Xiaoxiao held Rong Lan's arm, her little face full of concern, "How do you feel now? Are you still uncomfortable?"

Rong Lan shook her head gently, "I'm fine."

"Grandmother!" The little kids led by Jun Qingyao all ran over to Rong Lan happily.

The ghost Taoist, who had said he wanted to find Chu Chu to seek punishment before coming, instantly threw Chu Chu behind his head and greeted him happily. When he felt that the crutch had been caught, the ghost Taoist laughed, "Xiao Yao'er, is it you again, right?"

Recently, every time I see a ghost Taoist, I don’t respect my elders at all, and I start playing crutches with the ghost Taoist again...

Jun Qingyao was strong and strong, and soon summoned her "allies", including the great-grandson of the Ghost Taoist, Qing Xiuyi, and a group of children snatched the crutches from the Ghost Taoist.

The ghost Taoist also loves this game very much. He has long forgotten the reputation of the Supreme Poison Art, and he is even very happy to be thrown to the ground by a child.

When Rong Lan saw it, the little guy led by Jun Qingyao not only snatched the ghost Taoist's crutches, but also threw him down. Rong Xiuze, who was always pulled by Jun Qingyao without letting go, was confused and kicked the ghost Taoist's face...

"Xiao Yao'er, you're so sank again!"

"Baoer, you have to help Taigong! Taigong is so pitiful, there is only one person!"

"Liu Xiaokang, you pulled my beard again! Hiss..."

...

Rong Lan calmly withdrew her gaze. This is the daily life at home, and she has long been used to it. Not only the ghost Taoist, but also the old man Duan Rong, who was once very cold, was similar to the children when he was with him, and Liu Zhong.

The twins were taken away by the wet nurse and fed them. Xie Yin's grandson Xie Yunqian was also with the wet nurse.

"Xiaoxiao, where is your father?" Rong Lan asked Chu Xiaoxiao.

Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up a little, "Aunt Rong is here to find my father? He is in Guanlan Courtyard!"

Rong Lan didn't notice Chu Xiaoxiao's sudden tone of happiness, thinking that someone had arranged for Chu Chu to rest in Guanlan Courtyard.

After Su Mo and Yuan Qiu left, Xie Jingci and Chu Xiaoxiao were both seriously injured at the time and lived in Guanlan Hospital, mainly to facilitate their treatment and care.

After Xie Jingci recovered from his injury, he moved out because there was no extra independent courtyard for him to live in. He went to live with Duan Yunhe and Feng Jinbao. Duan Rong and Duan Yunhe's grandparents and grandchildren were built by Duan Yunhe himself. It was quite spacious and could live in. Xie Jingci and Feng Jinbao knew each other since childhood, so it was so convenient.

However, after Liu Zhong finally let go last month, Xie Jingci quickly left Wan'an City and went to another place to do the errands assigned by Rong Yuancheng. He took the initiative to ask for it because he had made a fool before, almost made a big mistake, so Xie Jingci lived in Rong's house and enjoyed being protected. He felt ashamed and wanted to do his best.

After that, Chu Xiaoxiao lived alone in Guanlan Courtyard. In addition to helping to take care of the children at home, she also worshiped Mrs. Xin as a teacher to learn poison skills. In this way, she became Yuan Qiu's serious junior sister.

"If Aunt Rong has something to look for my father, go to Guanlan Courtyard!" Chu Xiao smiled and let go of Rong Lan, "I'm watching the child here."

"If your father is resting..." Rong Lan frowned.

Chu Xiaoxiao shook his head, "No, my father said he was not tired at all!" As if he was afraid that Rong Lan would ask something else, Chu Xiaoxiao called "Xiao Yaoer" and ran to pick up Jun Qingyao.

Jun Qingyao was stunned. She was having a good time playing, why was she suddenly taken away?

Rong Lan turned around and went out, thought for a while, but walked towards Guanlanyuan.

Rong Lan was so familiar with this road. The first time he came was after Yuan Qiu was arranged to marry Su Mo by the then emperor Jun Zhaolin.

Stepping into the gate of Guanlan Courtyard, Rong Lan looked at the green Hehua tree in the courtyard, and still remembered the first time she came here to see her baby daughter. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Yuan Qiu standing with her back against the tree. Su Mo was standing three meters away, throwing a flying knife at Yuan Qiu casually...

When he saw that scene, Rong Lan was so angry that he wanted to slap Su Mo to death.

In a blink of an eye, three years have passed.

A lot of things happened in the middle. Rong Lan thought of Yuan Qiu and Su Mo who were unknown where they were at this moment, sighed and entered Guanlan Academy.

A man walked out of the small kitchen of Guanlanyuan with an apron tied around his waist, facing Rong Lan's eyes, and was stunned for a moment.

"Are you awake?" Chu Chu was a little surprised to see Rong Lan.

"Why..." Rong Lan's eyes moved downwards, and when she saw Chu Chu wearing the apron she made for Yuan Qiu, she felt...inexplicable. The man just came to her house and said when he was hungry, he said, "It's not that no one was entertaining him, do you have to make it yourself for the first meal?" Chu Xiaoxiao said that Chu Chu loves food and is good at cooking, but Rong Lan has already ordered Hongling to prepare a banquet to entertain Chu Chu.

"You sit down first, the soup will be ready soon." Chu Chu said to Rong Lan, then turned back to the kitchen.

Rong Lan:...What soup? Whose house is here? What's going on with this familiar tone?

Rong Lan walked into the viewing pavilion. The rain had been cleaned up and put on a soft cushion. After she sat down, she glanced at the green lake surface, withdrew her gaze, and was thinking about what to do next.

After a while, Rong Lan heard the footsteps and looked up and saw Chu Chu taking off his apron, carrying a tray out of the kitchen, and walking towards him.

As you get closer, you can see a cup of soup and two bowls on the tray.

Rong Lan thought to herself that this distinguished guest was hungry and she caught him cooking, so she politely took an extra bowl and shared it with her. But this is the Rong family, and Rong Lan inexplicably felt like she was visiting by herself, a little speechless.

Chu Chu walked into the viewing pavilion, put down the tray, opened the soup cup, and a faint fragrance spread out.

Rong Lan took a look and found that it was the lotus root and rib soup that she liked very much. The lotus root was originally planted in the pond of the Royal Villa. Recently, Jun Lingyue's grandmother would send someone to Rong Mansion to deliver a basket every day, which was dug out and washed clean on the same day, and it was very fresh. However, because Rong Lan was not in good condition recently, she only cooked and cooked some breakfast occasionally.

Seeing this soup, Rong Lan thought to herself that what Chu Xiaoxiao said was indeed correct. It only looks at the color and aroma, which is definitely delicious.

Chu Chu took a spoon, first put a bowl of it for Rong Lan, handed it over and placed it in front of her, "I haven't made lotus root and rib soup for a long time, how about you try it?"

Of course, Rong Lan was not easy to refuse. She took the spoon handed over by Chu Chu, tasted the soup, ate a piece of lotus root cut to the right size, and nodded and praised, "Xiaoxiao is right, your cooking skills are indeed great."

Chu Chu served himself a bowl, sat opposite Rong Lan, and smiled when he heard this, "I am grateful to you for taking care of Xiaoxiao. From Su Mo, we are not outsiders. But when it comes to cooking skills, Xiao Afu said that my cooking skills are not as good as his mother."

Of course, Rong Yuanlang's mother is Rong Lan. When Rong Lan heard this, she didn't be humble and just said that everyone's tastes will be different.

After Chu Chu tasted the soup he made, he praised the Rong family's lotus root, "There are no such good ingredients on Feixian Island."

Rong Lan's stomach was empty. After drinking half a bowl of soup, she felt much more comfortable. The ribs were stewed so hard that the lotus root powder was glutinous and delicious. She ate some of them.

Just as Rong Lan thought that she had enough to give Chu Chu this bowl of soup, and when it was time to talk about business, Chu Chu said, "Xiaoxiao said that we would eat and live here for free in the future, so that I must be diligent, otherwise it would be annoying. She said that you love lotus root and rib soup the most, and asked me to make it wait for you to wake up and send it to you to replenish your body. Just think this is my meeting gift for the Rong family."

Chu Chu said, stretched out his long arm, brought the bowl in front of Rong Lan, and added half a bowl of hot soup, "Drink more, you are so thin, and you will feel distressed when Yuan Qiu returns home."

Rong Lan's eyes were slightly dimmed, and she took back the words to her mouth, lowered her head and drank the soup silently. Thinking that she had misunderstood Chu Chu, it was Chu Xiaoxiao who asked Chu Chu to come to Guanlanyuan to stew the soup.

"Xiaoxiao must have told you that I recognized you many years ago and had dealt with you. But I was traveling in disguise at that time, and you didn't know me." Chu Chu looked at Rong Lan and said, "Actually, your appearance has not changed much from when you were young, but your complexion is not good recently."

Rong Lan sighed, "I should thank you for your secret help, so that my nephew escaped."

Chu Chu shook his head, "I just tried my best to do that. It was not me who really took great risks. I think it was because the Rong family was kind and kind before that, so when the crisis came, there were still outsiders who took risks just to keep their blood for the Rong family. To be ashamed, something happened to happen at my family and I was anxious to go back. If I could stay for more days and find out that you were still alive, maybe I could help you."

When he learned that something happened to the Rong family, Chu Chu rushed to the former Qitian City of Xiliao. It was too late, so he had time to secretly help Xie Yin to replace the child from the heavenly prison. Although Xie Yin did not know that there was a help from the master from beginning to end, he thought it was God's blessing, because he was ready to be doomed after the accident at that time, and instructed Mr. Feng to send someone to transfer his family to avoid disaster.

If he gave Chu Chu a little more time, he might have thought of a way to save more Rong's family from the heavenly prison, not just for the Rong Lan he admired, but also the Rong family he respected very much. The disasters encountered by the Rong family were obviously a crime.

Unfortunately, the person sent by Chu Xiong happened to find Chu Chu, saying that he had a clue from Chu Yuan and asked him to go home immediately.

On one side is a real stranger, on the other side is Chu Chu's sister who grew up with her. He was unable to do anything, and he was alone at that time. When he was young, his martial arts skills were far inferior to those of now. He really had limited ability to rescue the people in the Rong family prison, so he had to leave in the end.

When he left, Chu Chu found out that Rong Lan, who was not caught in the prison, had been secretly executed by the Empress of Xiliao, in order to prevent Ji Xu from ruining the big thing for Rong Lan.

Chu Chu didn't want to believe it at that time, but there was no other clue. Rong Lan couldn't see anyone alive or corpses died.

When Chu Chu received the news from Rong Lan again, she had already appeared in Dongming Kingdom and was accused of marrying Mu Zhenxuan. At that time, Chu Chu also agreed to marry Chu Yuan and take care of her, and promised to raise the children in her womb.

After years of meeting each other, Chu Chu still remembers Rong Lan's heroic appearance when she was young. Nothing seemed to have changed, but in fact everything changed.

What Chu Chu didn't say just now was that if he hadn't received news from Chu Xiong suddenly and was anxious to find Chu Yuan, he would have stayed here and learned that Rong Lan had gone to Dongming and wanted to marry Mu Zhenxuan, he would have stopped him.

Although Chu Chu could understand that Rong Lan was desperate at that time, only another royal family, who was enemies of the Western Liao Kingdom and was not much weaker than that of the Western Liao Kingdom, could protect her. The only choice was the Eastern Ming Kingdom. If she wanted to use the Eastern Ming Kingdom to avenge the Rong family, she had to accept the arrangements made by the Eastern Ming Royal Family to control her in turn.

The past is over, but if you do it again, Chu Chu will definitely find a way to help Rong Lan find another way and let Mu Zhenxuan go to the devil.

"Thank you for your soup. Why not be even in the past?" Rong Lan said. Chu Chu thanked her for taking care of Chu Xiaoxiao, saying that it was a great kindness, and she also thanked Chu Chu for his righteous act back then... But Rong Lan wanted to talk about some important matters at the moment.

"Okay." Chu Chu nodded, "You came to me, don't you know I'm stewing soup for you, do you? When you first came in and saw me, your eyes seemed to be saying, Why is this person not as conscious as an outsider at all?"

Chu Chu was joking, and Rong Lan knew it, but she couldn't help but smile, "Indeed, I'm here to discuss how to save Qiuer and Amo. I heard that Su Yan loves you?"
