Suddenly, Xiaoyu slipped off the stool and knelt down with Yang Ruoqing.

"Sister benefactor, I really don't want to go back to the Black Lotus Sect. The world is so big that I have no place to stand."

"If my sister doesn't dislike it, I would like to stay by her side and be a maid serving tea and water. I beg my sister to help me!"

Xiaoyu said, leaned down, buried her head on the ground, and gave Yang Ruoqing a bowing ceremony.

Yang Ruoqing was startled for a moment and wanted to help Xiaoyu up. She thought of something and looked at Chen'er questioningly.

Allowing her son to make decisions appropriately reflects the mother's trust and dependence on her son.

"Mom, you can make your own decisions about these things. My son respects your mother's decision."

Chen'er said with a smile.

His mother trusts and relies on him, so he must also respect her and be a good and filial son.

Hearing Chen'er's words, Yang Ruoqing nodded.

Then he turned around and helped Xiaoyu up from the ground, "Xiaoyu, I am not the kind of pampered wife and young mistress. I am just a woman from a family."

"I like to do everything myself, such as washing, cooking, etc., so I don't need a maid around me."

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Xiaoyu's heart dropped, and her eyes were filled with deep confusion.

Yang Ruoqing then added: "However, if you are willing to go to Changping Village with me, I would also like it very much."

"I happen to have several sisters at home, some are one or two years older than you, and some are one or two years younger than you. It would be nice for you girls to stay together and do some needlework, what do you think?

"

Upon hearing Yang Ruoqing's invitation, the gloom in Xiaoyu's eyes immediately disappeared.

"Thank you, my benefactor, for taking me in!"

She wanted to salute Yang Ruoqing again, but Yang Ruoqing stopped her.

"I was surprised before. Why do you have so many rules, kneeling and worshiping now and then? I bet you all learned these rules when you were a saint in the Black Lotus Sect? Hey!"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head. She was most annoyed by this kind of brainwashing organization, which was cloaked in the guise of compassion and did selfish things.

Poor Xiaoyu and his daughter have been deceived and taken advantage of.

Xiaoyu also blushed and said: "In eight years, I have learned these things about pretending to be magical and ghostly."

"Sister benefactor..."

"Xiaoyu, don't call me benefactor anymore. Just call me Sister Qing'er like the sisters at home. My full name is Yang Ruoqing." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

Xiaoyu looked moved and nodded slightly.

"Sister Qing'er, I want to beg you and Chen'er's eldest nephew," Xiaoyu said again.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiaoyu said: "I don't want people to know that I used to be a saint of the Black Lotus Sect. I just want to live an ordinary life."

Yang Ruoqing smiled, "Of course, don't worry, we will keep it a secret for you."

Xiaoyu nodded even more gratefully, then came to the table, grabbed the jade ring finger and suddenly smashed it to the ground.

Chen'er had quick eyes and quick hands and caught the jade ring.

"Aunt Xiaoyu, what are you doing?" Chen'er asked in surprise.

Xiaoyu said: "I'm going to smash this thing and draw a clear line with everything before!"

Yang Ruoqing took the jade ring handed over by Chen'er and put it back into Xiaoyu's hand.

“The last thing a person can’t deny and isolate is his or her past.”

She said earnestly to Xiaoyu.

"As long as you have made up your mind to draw a clear line from everything in the past, this jade ring is just an ordinary jade ring, just used to press the bottom of the box," she said.

Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, nodded, and put the jade ring away close to her body.

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and stroked Xiaoyu's hair, "How old are you exactly this year?"

Xiaoyu said: "April turns thirteen."

Yang Ruoqing nodded and glanced at Chen'er: "Tomorrow, the sixth day of March, is my Chen'er's seventh birthday. Tomorrow I will cook some hard dishes, and we will have a few cups of sweet rice wine and fruit wine together."

Chen'er and Xiaoyu nodded together.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at the hourglass on the table again, "It's getting late, let's all take a rest."

Xiaoyu nodded obediently, and Yang Ruoqing held Xiaoyu's shoulders. The two turned to leave, but Chen'er suddenly called out to Yang Ruoqing.

"Mom, there's something I almost forgot to ask you." He said.

"What's going on?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Chen'er said: "I came back tonight and saw that you were not in the house. Where have you been?"

Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, then thought about it.

"Oh, don't mention it, I almost forgot about it!" she said, returning to the table again.

"I really made a great discovery tonight, and it has something to do with the Black Lotus Sect!"

Yang Ruoqing then told Chen'er and Xiaoyu about her tracking and discovery tonight.

After hearing this, Xiaoyu said without hesitation: "No doubt, it must be from the Black Lotus Sect. There is also a branch of the Black Lotus Sect in Yecheng. Among the people who are chasing me tonight, there is also a branch of the Black Lotus Sect."

Chen'er frowned and said, "The Black Lotus Sect is really pervasive."

Yang Ruoqing also looked serious, "By the way, Chen'er, is there any progress in the autopsy at the Yamen?"

Chen'er shook his head, "There is still no progress, it seems to be a suspense case."

Xiaoyu bit her lip and said, "Take me to see you tomorrow. Maybe I can help with something."

…

The matter was discussed in this way, and in the middle of the night, spring thunder struck for a while, and when it was almost dawn, the rain began to fall.

It hits the tiles and makes a crackling sound.

In the morning, Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoyu got up, washed up, and prepared to go back to the Wa Market in Jianye City to buy the best ingredients.

Make a big meal for Chen'er at noon to celebrate his birthday properly.

After seven years, I can finally spend a proper birthday with my son.

However, when Yang Ruoqing just opened the door, she saw Chen'er coming out of the guest room opposite, followed by two secret guards in a hurry.

I went out this early in the morning. Did something happen again?

Yang Ruoqing's heart tightened and she hurried over.

"Chen'er, where are you going this early in the morning?" she asked.

Chen'er glanced at Yang Ruoqing and said, "Mom, another person died in the city last night. The situation is still similar to the previous ones."

"The death is very strange. The county governor Huang asked me to go there again."

Yang Ruoqing frowned.

Today is Chen'er's birthday, and there is another dead person. Hey, even though people like Yang Ruoqing and others don't care about bad luck or not,

But today is Chen'er's birthday, so why don't we stop running around like this?

Hey, Chen'er was born to work hard!

"Chen'er, let me go with you." Xiaoyu stood up from behind Yang Ruoqing and said.

Chen'er glanced at Xiaoyu, then turned his questioning eyes to Yang Ruoqing.

This is to let my mother make up her mind.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Then you all go together, I won't go, I'm going to Wa Market to buy ingredients!"
