Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 476
"The time is quiet and good, talk to you; the years are like water, and you are with you; the prosperity is gone, and you are old."

"I only hope that your heart will be like spring, and you will come back once a year."

Huan Chang, who was dressed in a new look, lightly stroked the beautiful handwriting on the handkerchief, whispering in his mouth, but no matter what, he didn't have the courage to walk towards the Xiao family compound.

"Ayun, I'm really sorry."

Looking at the Xiao family compound from a distance, Huan Chang's eyes were a little moist, he hesitated for a long time and finally took a deep breath and walked in that direction.

Arriving at the gate of Xiao's compound, looking at the courtyard with the gate tightly closed, Huan Chang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Concentrating quietly, Huan Chang released his spiritual consciousness, and the whole picture of the Xiao family compound suddenly came to mind, but there were no figures of the Xiao family's father and daughter.

The entire Xiao family compound was empty, only an old woman was holding a broom and sweeping the dust on the ground together.

"How could this be?"

Seeing this situation, Huan Chang couldn't help but panic, but he quickly comforted himself and said, "Maybe Uncle and A Yun are not at home anymore, or they have moved out of here."

"However, the Xiao Family Courtyard is still there, and I should be able to get news about them from that old woman."

Thinking of this, Huan Chang immediately began to knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The knock on the door kept ringing, and the old woman who was cleaning heard the sound, but the old face changed slightly, and there was a look of horror in her eyes.

"Why haven't you opened the door yet?"

Huan Chang knocked on the door for a long while but it was still not opened, he couldn't help feeling suspicious, and immediately stopped talking about the rules, and flew directly into the courtyard.

"Grandma, may I ask where the owner of the house is?"

Huan Chang, who suddenly appeared next to the old woman, made the old woman turn pale with fright, and her body retreated involuntarily.

When the old woman heard Huan Chang's words, she hurriedly shook her head desperately.

"Huh? Something seems wrong."

Seeing the frightened look in the old woman's eyes, Huan Chang felt more and more bad feeling in his heart, he stepped forward and grabbed the old woman's arm and asked anxiously, "Where are Uncle Xiao and Ah Yun?"

Huan Chang's disrespectful behavior made the old woman look surprised. After looking at Huan Chang carefully, the old woman said with some surprise: "You, you are Young Master Huan Chang!"

"you know me?"

Hearing the old woman call out his name, Huan Chang couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face, because he was sure that he didn't know the old woman in front of him at all.

"Really, it's really Young Master Huanchang. Don't you know how hard Miss has been waiting for you all these years? I cry every day looking at your portrait!"

From Huan Chang's tone, the old woman had already confirmed her guess, but soon her face changed slightly, and she said with some complaints.

The old woman entered Xiao's mansion relatively late, and Huan Chang had just left at that time, but Xiao Yun missed Huan Chang, so she drew many portraits of Huan Chang.

Therefore, the old woman can naturally recognize Huan Chang.

Hearing the old woman's complaints, Huan Chang's eyes showed a deep sense of guilt, but he still asked: "I am coming back this time to fulfill my promise to marry Ah Yun."

"Can the old woman tell me where Uncle Xiao and A Yun are now?"

Huan Chang asked expectantly, but the old woman's expression became very ugly.

"Because the master sent troops to wipe out the Juye gang, the remnants of the Juye gang harbored resentment towards the master, and repeatedly sent experts to assassinate the master."

"Fortunately, the Lord sent masters to guard Xiao's mansion, which made those assassins come back defeated every time."

"However, just two years ago, a very powerful person entered Xiao's residence and killed all the masters guarding Xiao's residence. Even the master was poisoned."

"That day, the entire Xiao mansion was bloody, and no one survived in the mansion. Only I accompanied the young lady out of the city for an outing, and I managed to escape with my life."

When Huan Chang heard this, his face turned pale.

He never thought that during the time he was away, Xiao Qi would be assassinated by the remnants of the Juye Gang, so Xiao Yun's life would not be easy.

Xiao Yun lost her father, and Ailang was not by her side. Huan Chang was really worried about whether she would survive.

"Then, what about Ah Yun?"

Huan Chang hurriedly asked, with extreme anxiety in his eyes.

"After the miss buried the master, she was taken to her aunt's house. She hasn't come back for two years, but every year, someone will send some money to the old lady, so that I can help take care of the Xiao family compound."

Hearing that Xiao Yun was picked up by her aunt, Huan Chang breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking of the dead Xiao Qi, his throat felt a little dry.

After asking Aunt Xiao Yun's address, Huan Chang rushed out of the city without stopping.

Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and butterflies are dancing.

Looking around, there are green crops all around, and the peach forest in the east is just in bloom, and the peach blossoms covered with branches look very beautiful.

Next to the peach grove, there is a manor with a very large area, which looks very grand from the outside.

Inside the manor, there are all kinds of pavilions, terraces and pavilions, and the rockery and flowing water are also quite beautiful. It can be seen that the owner of this manor is very wealthy.

Huan Chang came to the outside of the manor, looked at the heavily guarded gate from a distance, but hesitated.

"I'd better take a sneak peek at A Yun first. I don't know what she has been like these years. When A Yun suddenly sees me, I don't know if she will be full of surprises."

Thinking of this, Huan Chang quickly hid his body, and then flew into the manor.

Although the guards of the manor are good at martial arts, they are nothing in Huan Chang's eyes. No one can find out if they sneak into the manor.

Beside the rockery, beside the fountain.

A glamorous woman watched the spring water falling from the sky, but there was an unresolved resentment in her eyes.

Beside him, there is also a precious xylophone.

"Madam, the young master has fallen asleep, let's carry him back to his room to rest."

While the beautiful woman was staring at the fountain in a daze, the maid next to her suddenly said, the woman regained her senses and nodded slightly, signaling the maid to take the young master back to her room.

"Madam hasn't been in good health since giving birth to the young master. It's a bit windy outside today. Madam should go back to the room to rest first."

There was an older mother beside the maid, seeing the unconcealable melancholy on the woman's face, she couldn't help but persuade her.

"Feng Niang, you go back first, I want to stay here for a while, and I want to play the piano again."

When Feng Niang and the servant girl heard the words, helplessness flashed in their eyes, but they didn't say much, and they left with the young master who was still in his infancy, leaving only the woman here alone.

The few people didn't realize that Huan Chang couldn't help but shed tears when he looked at the slightly thin and beautiful woman in a hidden place in the courtyard.

"Five years have passed, and things have changed."

Huan Chang's eyes were bloodshot, and his nails sank deep into his palms. Even with his current cultivation level, he couldn't control his mood swings.
