Yan Ruyu and the others were about to go to the woman's home when there was a noise behind them.

Looking back, I saw that it was the old woman selling tiger-head shoes.

Yan Ruyu said in surprise: "Mother-in-law, it's you!"

The old woman didn't expect to meet them again, so she quickly said: "Little lady, I just happened to meet you. I haven't asked you for any money yet."

"No need," Yan Ruyu said, "I like your things very much, and that little money is nothing."

The old woman was happy in her heart. That little money was nothing to Yan Ruyu, but it could last a long time for her and her grandson.

"Ms. Zhou, what's going on?" the old woman asked.

Mrs. Zhou said embarrassedly: "Grandma Sun, I accidentally soiled this young master's robe, and I was planning to ask them to clean it at home."

Seeing that Granny Sun actually knew Yan Ruyu and the others, Mrs. Zhou felt a little relieved and said quickly: "Grandma Sun, I didn't mean it."

"It's okay, sister-in-law, don't be nervous," Yan Ruyu smiled lightly, "We'll just clean it up."

As she spoke, she held Li Jingyao's arm with her hand. Li Jingyao felt that half of his body was stiff.

"Let her go, little lady," Granny Sun said, "She is the only one who has two sisters-in-law in her family."

Yan Ruyu and the others followed Mrs. Zhou home. The yard was dark. It was not big, but it was very clean. There were two small sheds against the south wall, with some farm tools and fishing gear. However, it looks like it hasn't been moved in some days.

There were no lights in the room. There was firelight in the west room, and a person was sitting in front of the stove. It didn't look like he was lighting a fire, but more like he was in a daze.

Her hair was a little messy, her shoulders were a little slumped, and she looked a little slumped. When she heard the movement, she slowly straightened up, and she gained a tenacity like a weed.

She turned around, and Li Jingyao was stunned.

Although he hadn't seen her for a while, and the girl had changed a bit since she was married to someone else, he still recognized it at a glance, this was the girl he saw getting married that year - Zisu.

Mrs. Zhou said: "Brothers and sisters, we have guests at home."

Zi Su looked at Yan Ruyu and the others. Li Jingyao lowered his head. He was a man, so she didn't look carefully and nodded slowly.

"I soiled this young man's robe," Mrs. Zhou explained, "I want you to clean it."

Zi Su didn't say anything. She stood up and walked out, whispering: "I think this young master is about the same height as Erlang. I'll go get one for him to change temporarily."

Mrs. Zhou nodded and Zisu walked towards the main room.

Yan Ruyu followed and said, "Let me help you. I know Brother Jing's dressing habits."

Li Jingyao's relieved breath tightened again.

Zi Su did not refuse, and entered the house silently, lighting the oil lamp. The dim coal core was like a bean, barely illuminating the house.

Yan Ruyu glanced around. The room was simply decorated, with nothing extra except the necessary furniture, but it was still clean.

Looking through the dim light, Zi Su's eyes were red, swollen and dull, her lips were tightened hard, she opened the wardrobe, and when her hands touched the clothes, she pressed them hard again, her expression showed a moment of sadness.

Yan Ruyu thought that she must be thinking of her missing husband.

Yan Ruyu walked to her side and asked in a low voice and quickly, "Is it you who often go to the Yamen to ask for explanations?"

Zisu was startled and turned to look at her with alert eyes.

"You don't have to be afraid. We came here just for this. We were afraid that someone was watching us secretly, so we found an excuse."

Zisu looked relaxed, but still vigilant: "Who are you?"

"Can you identify the person whose clothes were stained just now?"

Zi Su shook her head. She was willing to borrow clothes not only because she had a good relationship with her sister-in-law and wanted to solve her troubles, but also because she was naturally eager to help others, no matter who the person she wanted to help was.

"He is the head of Li University."

Zisu's eyes suddenly opened wide, and they suddenly turned to panic: "Is it him? How can he come here at will?"

Yan Ruyu felt that what she said was not quite right. Before she could ask her questions carefully, she heard Madam Zhou walking into the house: "Brother and sister, have you found her?"

"Found it." Zisu hurriedly pulled out a set of clothes.

Yan Ruyu took out her clothes, and Zi Su quickly said: "Don't expose the identity of the boss."

Just as he finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou had already entered the room.

No wonder Mrs. Zhou came into the house to urge her, but she couldn't hold on any longer and stood outside with two men.

What's more, the two men didn't speak, they were like two lumps of ice, cold and hard.

Mrs. Zhou tried hard to force out a dry smile, but finally gave up and found an excuse to sneak in and hurry.

Zi Su pulled Madam Zhou out, and Yan Ruyu stood at the door and said to Li Jingyao, "Brother Jing, come in and change your clothes."

She stood there with a faint smile, and there was a dim halo behind her, and even the night seemed to be illuminated by her smile.

Li Jingyao only felt scared and panicked.

He glanced at Huo Changhe, whose eyes were like daggers: "Go if you are told, why are you dawdling!"

Li Jingyao: "..."

Li Jingyao gritted his teeth and went right away. You two were just putting on a show, leaving me in the middle.

He walked in and Yan Ruyu handed him the clothes: "Go inside and change."

Li Jingyao took it silently, and Yan Ruyu followed behind. Fortunately, he stopped at the door of the back room.

"I told her, and she said never reveal your identity. She seemed very panicked and in a bad mood."

Li Jingyao was stunned, and other emotions suppressed him: "Panic?"

"Yes, I read it right, so there must be something hidden. I will find an excuse to stay later, and we will decide based on the situation."

Li Jingyao nodded and went into the room to change clothes.

Yan Ruyu came out of the room and walked to Huo Changhe.

Huo Changhe looked unhappy, and Yan Ruyu said softly: "Brother is still angry with me?"

Huo Changhe said nothing, Yan Ruyu pulled his sleeve and shook it gently.

Huo Changhe couldn't stand this, and his expression instantly relaxed.

Mrs. Zhou thought to herself that a woman who is loved by others is good.

Li Jingyao quickly changed his clothes and came out. Just as Yan Ruyu was trying to find some excuse to stay, someone called at the door.

Mrs. Zhou went over to open the door, and Zi Su whispered: "Master, you shouldn't have come."

Li Jingyao frowned: "Why?"

Zisu shook his head: "Didn't you receive the letter I sent you?"

Li Jingyao was surprised: "What letter?"

That means I didn't receive it.

Yan Ruyu quickly realized that there was an information gap between them.

But before she had time to elaborate, Grandma Sun walked in with Mrs. Zhou. She had a small bamboo basket in her hand, covered with a piece of cloth, and she didn't know what it contained.

Walking up to Yan Ruyu, Grandma Sun smiled and said, "I made some auspicious cakes and gave them to you."

If you eat cake here, you can stay a little longer. Yan Ruyu readily agreed without any objection.

Grandma Sun was also very happy when she saw that she was happy to accept it. Mrs. Zhou moved out a few small benches and asked them to sit down.

Grandma Sun said: "Eat quickly. Only after eating the auspicious cake will the son of the water demon bless you."
