Unlike the atmosphere in the ice cellar, Mayor Meng didn't leave. Instead, he stood outside the ice cellar and looked at the burly man at the stone door. He smiled and said, "How should I address you?"
Guan Xilin, who was guarding the stone door like a guardian, glanced at him and said, "My surname is Guan."
"Oh, so it's Brother Guan." Patriarch Meng nodded and said with a smile, "I see that Young Master Feng trusts you a lot. Is Brother Guan one of Young Master Feng's people?"
Hearing this, Guan Xilin smiled. He knew that Patriarch Meng was trying to get information out of him, so he only said, "Yes, I'm sure I'm one of her people. I'm responsible for her safety."
"I see." Patriarch Meng looked at him and said, "But judging from Brother Guan's aura, you don't seem like an ordinary guard. I think you must have a big background."
"Hahaha, Patriarch Meng, you're mistaken. In fact, I'm just a mercenary who's trying to make a living. I don't have much of a background." He laughed loudly and chatted with him casually, just to pass the time.
On the other side, Duan Linlin, who took advantage of the fact that Feng Jiu and the others were not in the City Lord Mansion, ran to Duan Yingying's courtyard. After searching everywhere, she found her sister, who looked exactly like her, was in the kitchen.
Thus, she angrily walked forward and pulled her out. When she was outside, she forcefully flung her hand and flung her away. She angrily shouted, "Let me ask you, why is that young man in red living in the same courtyard as you? Don't forget that you're deaf and mute. You can't afford to offend someone like that! "
Duan Yingying looked at her in a daze. Hearing her sister's words, she couldn't help but lower her head and stand there helplessly.
"Yes, how could I forget that you're deaf and mute? It'd be strange if you could hear me! Scolding you is a waste of time and energy! "She snorted and glared at her, then turned and left.
Duan Yingying raised her head and looked at her sister's angry figure leaving. She lowered her eyes and turned back to the kitchen to cook.
She had never thought of comparing herself to others. Living in this courtyard, she endured loneliness alone. Even if she was unhappy, she would still smile. In the past, she had always been the only one living in this courtyard.
In this family, the only one who could make her happy and make her worry was her elder brother who only came back once or twice a year. As for the others, she already knew that they all treated her as invisible and didn't like her existence, right?
On the contrary, Fengjiu treated her so well even though she was just a passerby. Not only did he cure her deafness and muteness, he also taught her to see through people. Just as Guan Dage said, she was lucky. It was because of her luck that she was able to meet Fengjiu, the person who changed her life.
After noon, the stone door of the Meng family's icehouse finally opened from the inside. The first to walk out was Fengjiu, dressed in red. His expression was the same as before, but there was a hint of fatigue between his brows.
"Done? Are you tired? If you're tired, go back and rest. " Guan Xilin was the first to go up to Fengjiu's side. As soon as he got close, he could feel the cold air around him and immediately frowned.
"The cold air around you is very strong." As he spoke, he looked at the Meng family head and said, "Meng family head, can I trouble you to have someone check if the ginger soup I asked you to make is ready?"
"Okay, okay. I'll have someone check the kitchen right away. It should be ready." As he spoke, he ordered someone to check the kitchen.
