After the system ran, I took off with my family

The ladies present were puzzled. Why did they give weapons as gifts? Besides, they had never heard that Young Master Tang practiced martial arts!

Mrs. Jiang, who was close by, noticed the hidden arrow in the box. Her eyes flashed, and she sat back in her seat without saying a word.

No one knew what material this sleeve arrow was made of, but it looked extraordinary, and even she couldn't find any fault with it.

"Runiang, you are so thoughtful. I would like to thank you on behalf of Yun Ci."

Liu Yufu was extremely happy when she saw the small but extremely sharp sleeve arrow.

Yun Ci will go to Zhenhai Division the day after tomorrow. She knows that this sleeve arrow must have been given to Yun Ci by the Lin family for self-defense. With this sleeve arrow, Yun Ci's safety is more guaranteed.

Ignoring the inquiring looks from the others, Liu Yufu repeatedly instructed Mother Yang to keep the sleeve arrow safely.

Gao Yuting, who was sitting at the bottom, saw that she treasured the sleeve arrow very much, and she was tempted to ask, "The Lin family is indeed a family of martial artists. The gifts they sent are all so unique. Seeing how happy Sister Fu is, is Young Master Yun Ci planning to learn martial arts?"

Liu Yufu looked at her strangely, "Sister Gao, why do you say that? This sleeve arrow is a good item for self-defense, of course I like it. What does this have to do with whether Yun Ci practices martial arts or not?"

"I see, it turns out that I was wrong..."

Gao Yuting smiled, but she was thinking in her heart: The Lin family and the Tang family have been in close contact in the past six months. Maybe the young master of the Tang family has already learned martial arts from the Lin family.

If this is true, then that stinky girl from the Lin family was deliberately deceiving the master and Jiang Yi when she refused to introduce her master to her and said something like he would not accept a disciple because she was too young.

If the master knew that this little girl had cheated on her, huh, with the master's temper, he would definitely hold a grudge against her, and then it would be easy for him to teach this little girl a lesson.

Gao Yuting rubbed the thin calluses on her fingers, feeling secretly resentful.

You little bastard, last time, because of you, I was locked up in the Buddhist temple by the master to copy scriptures for a whole half month. If it weren't for the Tang family's banquet this time, she might still be locked up. You hurt me so much, how can I let you go...

Lin Shuyue, who was sitting behind Li, glanced at Gao Yuting, who was smiling but not smiling, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

"mother!"

Tang Wanchu's cheerful voice came from outside the door.

Liu Yufu watched her daughter walk in with light steps, pointed at her with her hand, and said angrily: "You naughty monkey, why don't you come and meet the ladies."

Tang Wanchu was wearing a goose yellow skirt today, and her pair of buns made her look even more lively.

Hearing her mother's words, she winked at Lin Shuyue secretly, then knelt down and saluted, "I'm honored to meet all the ladies."

"Oh, Wanchu has become more and more beautiful. Sister Fu, you are so lucky!"

Except for Gao Yuting, everyone else spoke compliments to her, making Tang Wanchu's face turn red.

Seeing her daughter was shy, Liu Yufu hurriedly said, "It must be boring for you two to be around adults like us. Wanchu, take Ah Yue to the garden. The girls from all the mansions are in the garden."

After hearing what his mother said, Tang Wanchu felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He spoke a few words to Li, then took Lin Shuyue’s hand, bowed hastily, and quickly walked out of the flower hall.

"Huh, A-Yue, those ladies are so scary."

Tang Wanchu dragged Lin Shuyue through many twists and turns until they came to a lake. She leaned against a rockery, patted her chest with her hands, and looked very exaggerated.

"It's not good to praise you." Lin Shuyue shook her head with amusement, and then asked curiously: "Wanchu, where did you go just now? I sat in the flower hall for so long and didn't see you."

Hearing Lin Shuyue's question, Tang Wanchu chuckled, with a bit of cunning hidden in his big round eyes.

She looked around, then lowered her voice and said excitedly, "Ayue, let me tell you, I was originally going to the East Courtyard to look for my second brother, and when I passed by a corner outside the East Courtyard, I heard someone arguing."

At this point, Tang Wanchu touched his nose uncomfortably and said vaguely, "Well, I was just tired from walking, so I squatted down to rest for a while, and then I accidentally heard everything they were arguing about."

Lin Shuyue raised her eyebrows, held back her laughter and didn't expose her, motioning for her to continue.

"Ayue, do you know who was arguing? It was Jiang Yi and the young master Zhao Xuan from Governor Zhao's family."

Afterwards, Tang Wanchu happily poured out what he had overheard like pouring out beans.

According to her, the reason why Jiang Yi and Zhao Xuan quarreled was because of the fire in the pleasure boat on the night of the Qiqiao Festival.

After some investigation and interrogation, the authorities finally caught the arsonist, but the murderer was beyond everyone's expectations.

No one expected that the murderer was Liu Xu, a neighboring brother of Zhao Xuan's childhood sweetheart Li Mei, who had nothing to do with the people on the pleasure boat.

"Ayue, do you know? Zhao Xuan actually said that Jiang Yi used the power of the Jiang family to deliberately frame Liu Xu. He didn't believe that Liu Xu was the murderer at all. He also said that Jiang Yi wanted to set him on fire to death so that he could snatch his fiancée Li Mei. After the matter was exposed, he framed Liu Xu."

"Ayue, do you know? Jiang Yi was so angry that he almost jumped up and down. It was the first time I heard him speak so loudly. He called Zhao Xuan stupid, brainless, and fooled by a woman."

Tang Wanchu smacked his lips with a look of unsatisfied satisfaction and said, "It's a pity that someone else came later, otherwise I would have seen two elegant gentlemen jumping up and down and cursing at each other."

"You, you..."

Lin Shuyue tapped her forehead helplessly.

However, she thought that the fire in the pleasure boat had nothing to do with the Jiang family. Moreover, given Uncle Tang's personality, he would never allow the Jiang family to frame innocent people, so Liu Xu was most likely the murderer.

But, what was Liu Xu's motive for harming people? Also, why did Zhao Xuan believe that Liu Xu was framed by the Jiang family?

"Ayue, what are you thinking about?"

Tang Wanchu pulled her sleeve.

Lin Shuyue came back to her senses, shook her head, and was about to speak when she heard footsteps, followed by a woman's voice.

"How's it going?"

Then, someone responded, “Miss, don’t worry, the woman in the East Courtyard of the Tang Mansion took so much money from us for her gambling son, she dared not not do it.

Later, she will use Miss Tang's name to pass on a message to Young Master Tang and lure him over."

Behind the rockery, Tang Wanchu and Lin Shuyue looked at each other.

Listening to what the master and servant said, it was definitely not a good thing. Tang Wanchu's face darkened and he was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Lin Shuyue.

Lin Shuyue shook her head at her, then pointed at the rockery and then at her ears, indicating that she should continue listening.

On the other side of the rockery, a little maid hesitated and said, "Miss, do you really want to jump into the water? Isn't it too dangerous?"

"Yutan, Tang Mansion is my best choice right now."

Zhou Xue'e, wearing a white gauze dress, looked at the lake, her hands hidden in her sleeves slightly clenched.
