After the system ran, I took off with my family

Lin Shuyue took the note and opened it to take a look. The note should be written by Miss Jiang Er herself. It was written in soft and beautiful small calligraphy with flowers on it, and was signed: Jiang Li.

"Okay, I got it. You can go back." Lin Shuyue put away the post and motioned Aunt Zhao to go back.

After she left, Li took the note and read it carefully. She couldn't help but admire it and said, "The second young lady of the Jiang family has a very good handwriting."

"But, Ah Yue, are you going the day after tomorrow? We have never met the second young lady of the Jiang family, and with the behavior of the Jiang family, I am worried that this is a Hongmen Banquet..."

Lin An and Li both had worried expressions on their faces and advised, "Yes, Yue, your mother's worry is justified. Why don't you not go?"

"Dad, Mom, if they really want to do something to our Lin family, we can't hide. We might as well go and see what they are up to."

Lin Shuyue expressed her thoughts and then comforted them at the end: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, don't you know your daughter's strength?

Moreover, in my opinion, this post must have been instigated by Jiang Yushan. If he believed what I said last night, this invitation must have a purpose.

Although he is somewhat arrogant and rude, he is definitely not a stupid person and would not do something that would harm me and not benefit himself."

Seeing that their daughter was confident, Lin An and his wife stopped trying to persuade her. The three of them then began to discuss the gifts they would prepare for their visit to the Tang residence tomorrow.

Jiang Mansion, Chunli Garden.

Jiang Li was lying on the couch in the living room, reading a storybook intently.

"Miss, my cousin is here."

The maid Yuchun pushed aside the gorgeous jade bead curtain hanging on the door and walked in quickly and quietly.

Jiang Li covered the notebook and rolled her eyes helplessly. Before she stood up, she heard the voice of her cousin Zhou Xue'e coming from outside.

"Where's Li'er? Why is she hiding in the house in broad daylight?"

"My cousin, she..."

Yuqiu, the maid waiting outside, was about to explain when she heard the sound of a bead curtain and her young mistress walked out lazily.

"Cousin, why are you here?"

Jiang Li adjusted her hair and waved her hand for Yu Qiu to leave.

Zhou Xue'e, still dressed in white, looked back. If Lin Shuyue was here, she would definitely find that this woman was the one in white who looked at her and her group on the pleasure boat last night.

Zhou Xue'e looked Jiang Li up and down with her almond-shaped eyes, with dissatisfaction on her beautiful face: "Li'er, what do you mean by looking like this?"

"Cousin, can you please stop lecturing me every time? What is the reason you came to see me today?"

Jiang Li curled her lips and rolled her eyes secretly.

Zhou Xue'e didn't expect her cousin to react like this this time, and her face froze for a moment.

But thinking of the purpose of this trip, she restrained her expression, took Jiang Li's hand, and asked tentatively: "Cousin, who are the guests invited to my birthday party the day after tomorrow? Do you know?"

"My mother is worried that you don't have a companion in the city, so she plans to take advantage of this birthday banquet to invite more young ladies from official families or well-educated and well-mannered young ladies from wealthy families in the city to attend the banquet.

If there is someone who gets along with you, he can be your companion. Didn’t my mother discuss this with you? "

Jiang Li seemed to break away from her hand unintentionally, picked up a piece of dessert from the plate on the coffee table, and looked at Zhou Xue'e in confusion.

Zhou Xue'e paused, looking a little embarrassed, and hesitantly said, "I know, but..."

Suddenly, she had an idea and suggested, "Li'er, if we invite only girls, then my cousin will have to retreat to his own courtyard, which would be very boring.

Why don't you talk to your aunt and invite some of your cousin's classmates or the sons of your uncle's colleagues, such as the son of Magistrate Tang, so that your cousin will have someone to talk to."

Jiang Li looked at her in surprise. Was this still her cousin who always talked about women's virtues? She actually suggested inviting a male guest to her birthday party?

However, my cousin's suggestion is quite good, but my eldest brother...

Thinking of what her mother said after breakfast today, she did not lower her head, but concealed the gloom in her eyes.

"Li'er? Li'er?"

Zhou Xue'e saw that she was a little distracted and became a little anxious.

Jiang Li gathered her thoughts, took a bite of the lotus cake, and wondered, "Cousin, your suggestion is very good, but why don't you talk to my mother yourself? My mother loves you so much, she will definitely listen to you."

Zhou Xue'e bit her lower lip lightly, hesitating and not knowing how to explain. She was afraid that her aunt would notice her little thoughts.

"Forget it, I'll go talk to my mother. Cousin, if you're okay, go back. I'll change my clothes and go find my mother."

Seeing her like this, Jiang Li didn't ask her any further questions. She just stood up and walked into the inner room.

......

At night, Lin Shuyue sat quietly on the roof, looking at the half moon hanging in the sky, with her thoughts flying.

Today is Lin Shuyue’s birthday, the 26th birthday of the Lin Shuyue who lived in the 21st century in her previous life.

She missed her parents and her younger brother Lin Hao. It had been almost a year. She wondered if they had gotten over their grief and were living a good life.

Does Professor Lin still get up early to run every day? Will Ms. Li's migraines still occur?

My younger brother should be working now, I wonder which hospital he works in...

Under the moonlight, Lin Shuyue tilted her head back, tears still flowing down slowly and uncontrollably...

"It's midnight, everything is fine..."

The sound of the night watchman's drum gradually faded away, and before I knew it, it was already midnight.

Lin Shuyue wiped her face carelessly, took a deep breath, looked at Banyue and murmured: "Dad, Mom, Lin Hao, I am living well here, you should also take care of your health..."

After saying that, she stood up and looked around the quiet surroundings.

At this moment, she paused and looked in surprise at the faint red light coming out of the window of the abandoned house next to the Lin Mansion.

Just as she was wondering, the red light suddenly disappeared, and the house returned to its usual quiet and desolate state, as if the red light was just her illusion.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Shuyue tapped her toes and flew lightly to the house next door, then landed silently on the roof of the house.

In the moonlight, she looked around the small, abandoned house that neighbors avoided.

The whole house is not big, and its layout is a bit similar to the two-courtyard courtyard in the previous life. The open space in the yard is overgrown with weeds, and the doors and windows are in tatters.

A breeze blew by, and if Lin Shuyue listened carefully, she could still hear the "creak... creak..." sound coming from the crumbling doors and windows, which sounded a bit creepy in the middle of the night.

After looking around, Lin Shuyue landed lightly on the open space in the backyard where she had just seen the red light.

In the darkness of the night, everything around was quiet, and she quietly pushed open the door of the main room.

The furniture in the room was arranged just like in an ordinary home, except that the table, stools and floor were already covered with a thick layer of dust.
