Also, who is the eldest daughter in their family?

It couldn't be He Xue who was far away in Qingshan Nunnery, right? When He Feng thought of this, his heart trembled violently, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger.

The secret guard Shuang Qiu knew about the affairs of the He Mansion. When he heard the doorman talking about Miss He, he asked in a cold voice, "Then let's find your Miss."

The doorman was about to cry, wondering who this person was.

He was dressed in black, with a pair of cold and frightening eyes. The doorman felt his calves trembling. He gritted his teeth and ran inside.

There was no one guarding the door, so Shuangqiu walked in, came out soon, and nodded towards the carriage.

Seeing this, He Feng and Gu Yunxi got off the carriage and walked straight into the He mansion.

The furnishings in the yard are no different from before, but it is obvious that there seem to be fewer servants in the mansion, and it is not as lively and popular as before.

"Miss, it's him... Hey, how did you get in? And you, what are you doing? Why are you entering someone else's house without permission..." The doorman and his men hurried over.

The doorman started shouting when he saw that not only the man in black who knocked on the door came in, but there were also several unfamiliar faces standing in the yard.

He Feng, Gu Yunxi and others had their backs to the gatehouse, but when they heard the voice, they slowly turned around.

For some reason, He Xue, who was standing next to the gatehouse, suddenly felt the blood in her body freeze.

"It's really you. You're back?"

He Feng bit her lip and stared at the familiar face, her good elder sister, He Xue.

She was clearly sent to Qingshan Temple, so how could she appear in the mansion? There was absolutely no way that her parents would take her back.

The only possibility is that something happened to her parents, so she came back!

He Xue had never expected that He Feng and his family would come back from the distant capital. Didn't they say that Lu Jianchuan had become an official? Why would they come back?

A flash of panic clearly crossed He Xue's face, but she quickly calmed down.

"Why can't I come back, Feng'er? This is my home. My parents sent someone to pick me up."

"Impossible! Where are my parents now? I'll go ask them in person." He Feng denied it directly. Although she had not spent a long time with her parents, she knew very well that her parents were not the kind of people who would go back on their words.

When He Xue heard that she was looking for her parents, she became even more flustered and looked unnatural.

She hurriedly asked someone to stop He Feng's way and said, "My parents are not in good health now, they are resting in the house, and I don't want anyone to disturb them."

"You don't want to be disturbed? What are you talking about? I'm my parents' daughter, why can't I see them?"

"What on earth did you do to your parents? Did something happen to them?"

He Feng's eyes were cold as he glared at He Xue and questioned her.

Gu Yunxi kept staring at He Xue and did not miss the panic that flashed across He Xue's face.

She sneered, "Why is Auntie so nervous? Grandfather came back from the capital a few days ago and he was fine. How come he suddenly said he was not feeling well in such a short time?"

"Aunt has been trying to stop us from seeing grandpa and grandma. Is there something wrong?"

As he spoke, Gu Yunxi secretly looked towards the yard, wondering whether the secret guard Qingwu had found his grandparents when he went in just now.

He Xue was flustered, but she looked strong and calm. Now the entire He Mansion was under her control. Even if He Feng's family came back, what would happen? She had the final say in everything in the mansion!

If she doesn't want them to see their parents, then they can't see them!

"Oh, it's different when you become the wife of an official. You are looking down on me, your aunt, in your words and deeds? You are so uneducated!"

He Xue spat at Gu Yunxi and cursed, "I've already told you that my parents are not in good health and shouldn't see guests."

"Do you want to leave on your own, or do you want me to have you kicked out? We are all relatives, there is no need to make things so awkward, right?"

She sneered and waved her hand, and the dozen or so servants standing behind her became restless.

Upon seeing this, Old Man Lu hurriedly pulled He Feng back behind him and glared at the servants.

Lu Jianchuan also stepped forward and blocked Gu Yunxi behind him.

Gu Yunxi smiled, looked at He Xue, and said, "It seems that you are really guilty!"

As he was speaking, a figure appeared silently behind Gu Yunxi and said, "Master, we found the person."

"Mr. He and Mrs. He were emaciated and locked in the woodshed in the backyard."

The secret guard Qingwu's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just right for everyone in the yard to hear it.

He Xue also heard it, and her face, which had been relatively calm, suddenly collapsed completely.

She was furious and cursed, "Gu Yunxi, you actually let someone sneak into the backyard of my house? I want to protect you and sue you for trespassing...ahhh, let me go!"

Before she could finish her words, the secret guard Shuang Qiu had already dodged and grabbed He Xue's neck.

The sharp dagger was against her throat.

It seemed that in the next second, if she struggled, the dagger would penetrate directly and pierce her throat.

He Xue was so scared that her legs went limp and she peed.

"Okay, good man, spare my life, spare my life, let's talk it over..."

He Feng finally realized what was happening. He was extremely heartbroken. He stared at He Xue and asked coldly, "Did you really imprison my parents in the woodshed?"

"Are you a human being? You are just a beast! You are worse than a beast!"

The servants behind He Xue finally reacted and were all frightened. They wanted to rescue He Xue, but were afraid and did not dare to step forward.

Gu Yunxi shouted, "Why, do you still want to help the tyrant? Don't you know who is your master in this mansion?"

"How dare you continue to help He Xue and continue to do unfilial things that are intolerable to heaven? Once we find out the truth, we will not let any of you go!"

"Put down your weapons now, and you can still be dealt with leniently. My husband is this year's third place winner, and a seventh-rank official in the Imperial Academy. He must keep his word."

When the servants heard this, they looked at each other, and finally put down their weapons and begged for mercy: "Second Miss, please spare us. It was the eldest lady who forced us to do this."

"Please spare us, Mr. Tanhua. We didn't do this on purpose... We didn't want this to happen..."

There were crowds of people kneeling on the ground in the yard.

Lu Jianchuan brought Shuang Qiu and tied up He Xue outside and dealt with these servants.

Gu Yunxi took Qingwu and went to the woodshed in the backyard with He Fenglu's father, and as expected, they saw two skinny old people.

The old lady is really Mr. He and Mrs. He whom they have missed for many days.

He Feng knelt in front of them, tears streaming down her face: "Dad, it's all my fault for being unfilial. I'm here too late!"
