“Little Lin, why have you returned alone? Where is your elder brother? Didn’t you bring guards with you when you left? Why didn’t they escort you back home?” City Lord Duan asked his daughter. Though he looked displeased, his voice was filled with concern.“I went to look for my elder brother but he wasn’t around. They said that he had left with the team to go out to practice so I left him a letter and came back first. On my way back something happened and the guards who were escorting me died protecting me. On the way home I also met someone….”

When she spoke of this, she stopped and her face had a look of anger: “I met a traveller on the road and we had agreed to travel together. That person had ideas on the treasure I had with me, so in my anger I killed him.”

She didn’t dare to admit that she had been taken advantage of so she had to change her story. Anyway, that person was dead, so no one would know that she had been taken advantage of.

As for the young man in red clothes, who knew where he had gone to? They would definitely never meet again.

“I see.” City Lord Duan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s fine as long as you’re safe. Next time, let the guards handle matters like that. Fortunately you were fine this time.”

“I know, next time I will bring more guards with me when I go out.”

When he heard this, City Lord Duan smiled. He thought of Feng Jiu and said: “By the way, we have a distinguished guest in the manor. You can’t offend our guest.”

“Who is this distinguished guest?” She asked curiously.

“The guest has come to treat your grandfather and has the double badges of Saint Rank Alchemists. The guest is currently staying in your elder sister’s courtyard. Since you’re back you should go to see your elder sister and have a chat.”

“Is the guest male or female? Why is the guest living in my elder sister’s courtyard? I assume the guest doesn’t know that my elder sister is dumb and deaf?”

“Look at how you talk. No matter what, she is still your identical twin sister born from the same mother. How can you speak like that?” City Lord Duan reprimanded in a deep voice.

Duan Linlin curled her lips and said: “I’ve not said anything wrong, she is dumb and deaf. She can’t hear me even if I speak to her so I’m not going to bother going to hers to sit and chat to her.” She stood up and pushed him out of the door: “Father, I am going to take a hot bath and rest. Go back first and stop saying the same thing over and over to me.”

“You are getting more and more disrespectful.” City Lord Duan shook his head and left the room. When he heard the door slam shut, he sighed helplessly.

“This child has been spoilt by us.”

When he thought about his eldest daughter, he felt guilty. Over the years, she had never attended any of the family banquets because she was deaf and mute, and she also rarely saw any outsiders. Over time, everyone on the outside knew that he had a daughter, but no one knew that he had another daughter in that courtyard who could neither speak nor hear…

His care for her couldn’t even be compared to her eldest brother. Her eldest brother had personally begged him to give that courtyard to Yingying to live in. He had said that Yingying’s personality was gentle, kind and optimistic and she was most suited to live in that courtyard to look after the elixir herb flowers and plants.

For so many years, she had been isolated from the world with something to keep her occupied. Other than tending to the flowers and plants, she didn’t know anything that had happened in the manor.

In contrast, Little Lin had been spoilt by them and was becoming lawless.
