The Xiao family was really poor. If not for the fact that they had the Bai family as their backer, they would have been so poor that they could not afford to wear pants.
In order to support his son in his business, Father Xiao had sold all of the dowry of the white peony herb and the ancestral medicinal herb shop. Only then did he manage to scrape together a sum of money to go to the capital to seek refuge with Old Lady Bai.
Therefore, other than some worthless furniture, there was really nothing left in the house.
Xiao Lizzie did not see anything good in the hall and continued to climb upstairs unwillingly.
However, she struggled to get up with her tiny arms and legs!
She took three steps and took a long time to climb to the top floor.
The top floor was a small attic, which was also the boudoir where Xiao Ning used to live.
When she reached the door, she realized that the door was slightly ajar. It seemed that someone had been here before.
