Four Seas Restaurant.

Lu Chaoyun was anxiously waiting in the backyard for the father and daughter to come back.

She blamed Jiang Yuzhou in her heart, wondering how he could bring his daughter to such a dirty place. It would be troublesome if someone spotted her!

It was already dark, and there was no trace of the two people. She was so anxious that she could no longer sit still.

She walked through the Moon Gate and came to the tavern.

There was only one light on in the east wing of the pub, so she walked quickly over and knocked on the door.

Xu Cheng opened the door and said, "Aunt, the head of the family and Fuzi haven't come back yet. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Lu Chaoyun had no choice but to thank him and leave, then return to the restaurant to continue waiting.

Was the person not found? Or was there an accident? She wondered randomly.

"Mom, why hasn't my elder sister come back yet?" Jiang Muyang asked her while rubbing his eyes.

"They haven't finished their work yet. They will be back when they are done." Lu Chaoyun picked him up and said, "Tao'er, you take your brother to sleep first."

"But Dad and my sister..." Jiang Mutao said worriedly, "Could something really happen to Second Aunt and the others?"

"Alas, who knows?" Lu Chaoyun sighed, "I hope everything is fine. You guys go to bed, and Jiyi, you should go too. We have to get up early tomorrow, and we can't stay up late."

But who can sleep if no one comes back?

"Aunt, how about I go out and look for her?"

"No, it's too dark, they haven't come back yet, if anything happens to you, I won't be able to live!"

They waited anxiously in the backyard, and Jiang Yuzhou and his partner from Xiyan Village finally arrived home before dark.

"Second brother, you're back just in time. Fang and her mother went out this morning and haven't come back yet." Qi was standing at the gate. Seeing them, she asked anxiously, "She's pregnant. Hope nothing happens to her. How about you go out and look for her?"

When the two men came closer, she saw the injuries on their faces.

"Hey, what happened? Did you have a fight?" Qi asked distressedly, "Didn't Dahe and the others help you two?"

"Mom, let's go home first." Jiang Yuzhou pulled her into the yard and bolted the door.

"This is... the Fang family..."

Jiang Yuqing didn't say a word, walked straight into his room, closed the door and bolted it.

"Mom, come to my room and I'll tell you."

Although Qi was puzzled, she could tell from her sons' expressions that something had happened!

She came to Jiang Yuzhou's room with trepidation. The room was dimly lit, and Qi sat on the stool, asking anxiously, "Tell me, what happened?"

"Fang Lanxiang has been imprisoned."

"What?" Qi was so shocked that she almost fell to the ground. "What did she do? How could she...?"

Jiang Yuzhou helped her up and opened his mouth, but he really couldn't say anything.

"Hurry up and tell me, are you trying to drive me crazy?" Qi slapped her thigh anxiously, "She's been locked up in jail, where's Hong Xing?"

"None of them will come back." Jiang Yuzhou thought about it and felt that he should tell her everything in detail to prevent her from having too many wild thoughts.

He started from the morning when a child came to the restaurant to look for his second brother, and continued until they left that shabby yard.

"This damn thing really deserves it." Qi gnashed her teeth in anger, "Why don't you just kill that couple on the spot?"

She had not agreed to this marriage at first. Her youngest daughter and second son were determined to marry her off, but they didn't expect that they would end up marrying a disaster!

"What a shameless girl Yufeng is doing." Qi thought of Fang Lanxiang being the one who had arranged this for her, and she began to feel resentful.

"Mom, now that things have happened, there's no point in blaming anyone." Jiang Yuzhou felt sorry for his second brother. "The one who is most sad is my second brother. I'll let him rest at home for a few days. Please take good care of him and don't let him get upset."

"How can you be so depressed over such a bastard? I don't have such a spineless son." Qi cursed for a long time and went back to her room in anger.

As soon as Qi went out, she ran into Zhou Huaihua who was hiding outside the door listening.

"Mom, you see, I've already said it before, Fang Lanxiang and her daughter are not good people!" Zhou Huaihua said arrogantly, "Don't worry, as the eldest sister-in-law, I will definitely find another reliable one for him."

"Go back to your room. You're everywhere and have so much free time." Qi glared at her. If her words were believable, even a sow could climb a tree.

Qi was upset and ignored her. She looked towards her second son's room and sighed deeply.

My miserable son!

"Mom, when I find someone suitable for my second brother, I will take you to see her!" Zhou Huaihua returned to her room with a smile.

Not long after, loud laughter came from the east wing, which made Jiang Yuzhou angry. Are they still a family?

He really didn't want to stay in this house any longer.

But it was too late and the city gates were closed, so I had to stay at home for one night and rush to the county early the next morning to not delay the start of work.

He lay down on the bed, which was cold. The house in the county was warmer. He hadn't been home for a long time and he was not used to it.

I turned over, wrapped myself in the quilt, and forced myself to fall asleep quickly.

Suddenly he heard the sound of a door opening. He held his breath and listened carefully to where the sound came from.

There was a knock on the door, "Old Third, I'm going to the county, are you leaving?"

"Ah, now? The city gates are closed. How about tomorrow morning?" He had already lain down in bed and didn't want to move anymore.

"Aren't you leaving? Then I'll leave first." As he spoke, the sound of footsteps heading towards the door was heard again.

He quickly called Jiang Yuqing, worried that he might get into trouble on the way, "Second brother, wait for me, I'll go with you."

The door of the main room also rang. Qi put on her clothes and walked towards them holding an oil lamp. She saw Jiang Yuqing holding a large bag in her hand.

"What's wrong? Are you leaving so late at night?"

"Mom, we have to start work tomorrow. If we go back now, we can sleep a little longer tomorrow morning." Jiang Yuqing said with his head down, his voice hoarse and tired.

"Okay, you two brothers go together and be careful on the road." Qi's voice was a little choked. After such an incident, she felt sorry for him and wished that all the suffering would be transferred to her.

Jiang Yuzhou put on his clothes and opened the door.

"Mom, go back to sleep."

"You guys go, be careful on the road, and don't let mother... worry." Qi shed tears.

"Don't worry, just bolt the door."

Seeing Qi crying, they felt sad. She was so old, and it was wrong to make her worry.

The two brothers walked in silence all the way until they reached an open area, where Jiang Yuqing stopped.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yuzhou was puzzled.

Jiang Yuqing didn't say anything. He threw the bag on his back to the ground, squatted down, and held a fire starter in his hand.

Unpack the bag and shake out the clothes inside.

Jiang Yuzhou understood that these clothes belonged to Fang Lanxiang and Jiang Hongxing, and there were also a few men's clothes.

He wanted to burn the clothes and cut off all ties with the past.

"Let me help you." Jiang Yuzhou wanted to help him burn it and didn't want to be rejected by him.

"No need, you have to take care of your own affairs. Third brother, tell me, isn't it good to live alone?"

Jiang Yuzhou was stunned. He had never thought about this question. He was lucky to marry Lu Chaoyun and have three children. Now his life is getting better and better.

He is very happy.

"Maybe, yes."
