I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot

Behind him, the green cicada suddenly let out a shrill cry, and the old housekeeper exclaimed, "Oh, Miss Third, why did you crush the cicada to death?"

Ruan Xiaoshuang was startled, "What's wrong, Xiaodie?"

Ruan Xiaodie raised her head innocently, "It bit me."

She let go of her white palm, and the cicada, which was still alive just now, was already frozen and motionless.

The old housekeeper beside him laughed, "Miss Third, you are talking nonsense. How can a cicada bite someone?"

Ruan Xiaodie flattened her mouth, "But it just bit me and it hurt."

"Could it be that you were bitten by another insect when you first caught the cicada?"

Ruan Xiaoshuang was worried and told the old housekeeper, "Take Xiaodie to apply some ointment."

The old housekeeper hurriedly agreed and was about to leave with Ruan Xiaodie.

But Ruan Xiaodie said aggrievedly: "Sister, I didn't crush it to death on purpose."

"It's okay, Xiaodie should be more careful next time and don't pinch it too hard."

Ruan Xiaoshuang comforted her softly, "Sister, I will accompany Xiaodie to catch one later, okay?"

Ruan Xiaodie blinked and nodded obediently: "Okay."

Sang Qianqian could clearly see that Ruan Xiaodie's palms were white and smooth, with no signs of being bitten or red.

Looking at Ruan Xiaodie's brisk footsteps leaving, then looking at the dead green cicada in the sarong.

For some reason, that weird and terrifying black graffiti flashed through Sang Qianqian's mind, and the coldness in her heart spread again.

The Ruan family's old house has been uninhabited for a long time. After the Ruan family's accident, all the servants in the house also left.

Fortunately, Xie Shi'an took care of him and arranged for someone to take care of the house regularly. The flowers and fountains in the garden gradually returned to their former glory, but they were deserted and too quiet.

Sang Qianqian paid no attention and accompanied Ruan Xiaoshuang straight to her residence.

Ruan Xiaoshuang remembers clearly that Ruan Xiaodie's paintings were placed in a small box in the study.

However, after some changes, the things here have been relocated by servants, which are very different from Ruan Xiaoshuang's memory.

After a lot of effort, the two finally found the small box in the deepest part of the bookcase.

The box was opened, and there were several old photos inside. They were photos of Ruan Xiaoshuang's family when she was young. In one of the photo frames, there was a photo of three Ruan brothers and sisters.

In the photo, Ruan Xiaodie is still a pretty toddler, being held by young Ruan Cheng, looking at the camera curiously.

"Xiaodie must have been three years old at that time. Not long after this photo was taken, she was kidnapped when the nanny took her out. Because of the severe fright, she suffered from mental abnormalities."

Ruan Xiaoshuang looked gloomy as she recalled the past, "When she was about five years old, she was sent abroad for medical treatment. When she left, she cried so hard that she refused to get in the car."

She still remembered that when she and her eldest brother Ruan Cheng went abroad to see Xiaodie every year, she always looked frightened and alert, but in front of her aunt, she acted like an ordinary child, acting coquettishly and smiling.

As for Shao Jin, who accompanies and protects her closely, she will also call Shao Jin brother affectionately, but she refuses to call Ruan Cheng big brother.

Later, after many years, her condition still did not improve much, and Ruan Cheng gave up completely. In addition, his health was not as good as before, and he gradually rarely went abroad to see Ruan Xiaodie.

Ruan Xiaoshuang would fly to visit her every year, especially when she was studying abroad. She often visited her every now and then. She seemed familiar to her sister, so she was given several paintings by Ruan Xiaodie.

Ruan Xiaoshuang lowered her head, caressed the photo in the frame with her fingers, and said softly, "If Xiaodie can really get better in the future, I will have no regrets. If my eldest brother knows about it, he will definitely be happy."

Sang Qianqian looked at her with strangely complicated emotions.

After what happened in the Song Dynasty, Sister Xiaoshuang had become cold-hearted again, but it was only because of Ruan Xiaodie that she regained her luster.

If there is really another mystery to Ruan Xiaodie's "illness", and if Sister Xiaoshuang knows that Ruan Xiaodie may not be as innocent as she appears, what will she do?

Can she still bear the blow from her loved ones again?

"Under this photo frame is the painting Xiaodie gave me. I was afraid it would get damaged, so I had it sealed and preserved."

Ruan Xiaoshuang carefully took out the photo frames, but there was nothing underneath.

"Those pictures."

Ruan Xiaoshuang touched the empty space and was stunned, "Why is there no more?"

Sang Qian frowned, "Could it be that the servants lost it when they were cleaning it up?"

Ruan Xiaoshuang shook his head, "It's impossible. Those who came to clean up are all old servants of the Xie family. They know the rules and will not touch the master's things casually."

At most, it's just that the location is wrong when tidying up, but it is absolutely impossible to throw things around or even take things randomly.

Sang Qianqian was silent.

Indeed, when she was helping to find things just now, she found that even a bookmark written by Ruan Xiaoshuang when she was reading had been carefully put away in the drawer for her.

This box contained photos of the three Ruan brothers and sisters. How could the servants dare to throw them away without knowing the right rules?

"When Shi'an comes back, I'll ask Shi'an."

Ruan Xiaoshuang thought for a while, "I will also ask myself who are the servants who came to deal with it."

Sang Qian nodded, thinking that if these paintings could not be found, they would be able to verify it when Xie Shi'an brought back those albums.

However, I don’t know when Xie Shi’an will be able to handle things there and come back.

As for Ruan Xiaodie's identity, the sooner it can be verified, the better.

After coming out of Ruan's house, Sang Qianqian sent a message to Xie Shi'an.

Naturally, considering Xiaodie's condition, she wanted to read the contents in those picture albums so that she could further determine the treatment plan for the next stage.

For some reason, no one replied on the other end. When I called, no one answered the phone.

Sang Qianqian had to rush to Zhen's house, so she had to put this matter aside for the time being.

In the living room of Zhen's house, the old lady was waiting for her.

To her surprise, the old lady was accompanied by not only Zhen Zhen, the second daughter of the Zhen family, but also Zhen Zhu, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family whose relationship with her family had broken off.

Seeing Sang Qianqian coming, the old lady hurriedly ordered the servants to serve the food, and lovingly pulled Sang Qianqian to sit next to her, "Qianqian hasn't had dinner yet? Grandma didn't eat either, so she can eat with her." point."

Zhen Zhu pursed her lips and smiled, "Grandma, you are not telling the truth. You obviously postponed the meal time just for the sake of your cousin. Zhen Zhen and I are both hungry."

The old lady glared at her. Although her expression was helpless, her smile showed the love of the elders for the younger ones: "Then hurry up and eat, don't stand still."

Several people sat together at the table, and the old lady pushed a bowl of ginseng soup in front of Sang Qianqian, "I asked the kitchen to stew it specially. Let's try it."

Zhen Zhu looked at Sang Qianqian intently, "Speaking of which, my cousin-in-law and I haven't officially met yet. Last time, I just had a quick glance and felt that cousin Han Yu had good taste. Today, if I look closely, I can see that this is not only good. It’s absolutely amazing.”

She said sincerely: "Cousin, you are so beautiful."
