After that, Xiao Ren placed down his hands, he had a stern expression. No matter what, he would not allow those black sheep to destroy their countless years of reputation.
After making up his mind, he contacted those people loyal to the master, asking them to begin investigating the people outside to test their loyalty.
After Ning Meng Yao and Qiao Tian Chang left Xiao Ren’s house, they began wandering around.
She noticed the people here were really leisurely and had a yearning towards life, everyone had a simple smile on their faces.
”This place is actually pretty good,” Ning Meng Yao said such words after walking around.
Qiao Tian Chang froze, he then smiled and said: “This place is indeed pretty good,” Qiao Tian Chang gently nodded his head, indicating that he agreed with her words.
”But it’s a pity,” Ning Meng Yao shook her head regretfully.
”Indeed, do we head back right now, or should we continue walking around?”
”Let’s continue walking around,” There was nothing to do if they returned, they might as well continue strolling around.
Qiao Tian Chang did not object, he just wandered around with Ning Meng Yao by his side.
When they arrived by a small river, they saw a lass, roughly the age of seven or eight years old, hugging her knees. She was sitting there in a daze.
”What’s on your mind?”
The young lady was obviously taken aback by the sudden voice, she turned her head and looked at the person beside her.
”Elder sister, who are you? I’ve never seen you before.”
”I’m just passing through. Why are you here all alone? Where is your family?”
The young lady heard her words, her eyes instantly dimmed and was filled with anger.
Ning Meng Yao looked at the young child, what happened to this child to have such an expression at such a young age.
”Elder sister, I do not have a family, my mother no longer opened her eyes after she fell sick,” The young lady had tears in her eyes when she mentioned her mother.
”What about your father?” Ning Meng Yao frowned and looked at the young girl as she asked in doubt.
”I don’t have a father,” The lass turned her head stubbornly.
Ning Meng Yao felt even more curious after seeing her act that way, the emotions in the little lass’ eyes were too obvious.
She pulled Qiao Tian Chang to her side to sit down before she asked curiously: “Can you tell elder sister about your matter?”
The young lady bit her lips, nobody had ever been so gently towards her ever since her mother passed away.
”Father does not want me and mother anymore, he’s outside and no longer comes back. Mother went outside once, but she became sick after returning and never recovered.”
Ning Meng Yao’s expression changed slightly after hearing it, although it was not obvious, Qiao Tian Chang had noticed it.
”Then do you know anything about your father.”
”I don’t know, I only know that mother kept hugging me and crying after she returned,” The little lass shook her head, her eyes were vacant, she did not know why her mother had cried to such an extent, she had asked her but was not given an answer, she was only told to just stay in this place and never to follow others outside.
Hearing her words, Ning Meng Yao already had a speculation, this child’s father had another woman outside. When her mother headed outside, that man did not even admit their relationship, causing the woman to have such a huge change.
