After the system ran, I took off with my family

Mei said to Xiao Yizhi, "Yizhi, your sister Yue is coming to Beijing alone this time, you must help mother take good care of her and don't let anyone bully her, otherwise I will complain to your father."

Xiao Yizi had no objection to his mother's words and nodded in response with a gentle expression.

Mei was a little frustrated about her taciturn son, but she also knew her son's temper. As long as he nodded, he would definitely do it.

Afterwards, Mei talked with Lin Shuyue for a while and left with her children. Before leaving, she asked for her current address.

The five siblings of the Qin family were very curious about the fact that the Prince of Zhennan praised A Yue for her righteousness in his letter home. As soon as Mei and her group left, the five siblings surrounded Lin Shuyue and asked her questions.

Lin Shuyue briefly talked about some of the things that could be said, and did not ask the five siblings of the Qin family about the rest that could not be said.

The sun was about to set, and the group of people who had been outside all day were ready to go back. The five siblings of the Qin family first sent Lin Shuyue and Tiansheng back to Qinglu Lane before turning the car around and heading back to Nankang Street in East City.

As soon as they returned to Qinglu Lane, Lin Shuyue took Tiansheng into the study in the front yard and instructed, "Qinghe, you and Qingzhi stand guard at the door and don't let anyone get close to the study."

"Yes, ma'am."

After the study door was closed, Lin Shuyue asked Tiansheng to sit down and poured him a glass of water.

"Tian Sheng, did you want to get close to Jinyiwei Wei Lin that afternoon?"

Her directness made Tiansheng, who was drinking water, choke and cough for a long time.

After he recovered, Tiansheng wiped the water off his chin with his sleeve and pretended to be calm: "Sister Yue, I didn't. I just happened to be begging on that street."

After saying that, he shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed, "Besides, the Jinyiwei are so fierce, Tiansheng would never dare to approach them."

Lin Shuyue stared at him in silence for a moment, then her voice softened, "Tian Sheng, what happened? If you have any problem, you can ask your sister for help. The Jinyiwei are too dangerous, and one mistake could easily lead to death."

She couldn't deny that Ye Han, whom she had met, had left a good impression on her, but she didn't know the other Jinyiwei.

Moreover, she knew that the ruthlessness of the Jinyiwei was not a rumor, otherwise they would not be able to intimidate those dignitaries.

If a little beggar rashly approaches the Jinyiwei, he will most likely be regarded as someone with ulterior motives and easily attract attention.

Seeing that Tiansheng was still keeping his head down and silent, he thought for a moment and asked directly, "Tiansheng, is your search for Jinyiwei related to Aunt Man?"

"Sister Yue..."

Tiansheng suddenly raised his head, and the shock in his eyes made Lin Shuyue instantly realize that she had guessed right.

"Tian Sheng, can you talk to your sister? I promise I won't tell anyone."

"Sister Ayue, it's not that Tiansheng wants to hide it from you, it's just..." Tiansheng pursed his lips and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Lin Shuyue knew his concerns and said, "Tian Sheng, you also saw it this afternoon. My sister has some connections with people in the Zhennan Palace. You don't have to worry about me finding out and being in danger.

Besides, you saw my sister's skills this afternoon, don't you believe in her?"

"No, Sister Yue, I believe you, it's just... it's just..."

Tiansheng gritted his teeth and said, "This matter involves spies from the enemy country, and someone is colluding with the enemy."

Lin Shuyue's eyelids jumped, "Tell me everything you know."

Tiansheng drank all the water in the cup, then held the cup tightly and told him the secret that he had kept in his heart for half a year.

"One night in early October last year, Xiaoguizi and I went to Nanjin Street to beg as usual. When we passed the alley behind Honghe Tower, we happened to run into Aunt Man who usually washed dishes in the kitchen of Honghe Tower.

Aunt Man stopped us and said that she had secretly left some clean leftovers for us, and asked us to wait until the restaurant was about to close and then go find her.

Aunt Man is a good person. She often leaves some food left over by other guests for us to eat. We all like her very much.

In Honghelou, Aunt Man and another Aunt Liu were responsible for washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen, so Aunt Man and her friends were the last to leave the restaurant every night.

After the guests of the restaurant left, Aunt Man saw us and happily pulled us into the backyard of Honghe Tower.

Aunt Man said that another Aunt Liu had to go home early today because of something at home, and now she is the only one left in the restaurant, so she can heat up the leftovers for us to eat. "

Tiansheng paused. He would always remember the kind smile and gentle eyes that Aunt Man would occasionally show when she looked at them eating delicious food while washing dishes.

“Because Aunt Liu was not here, Aunt Man had to wash all the dishes by herself, so after finishing the hot meal, I thought about staying to help Aunt Man wash the dishes, so I asked Xiao Guizi and Xiao Chahu to go out first and wait for me in the alley.

Only Xiao Dengzi was relatively young and liked Aunt Man very much. He clamored to help, so I let him stay.

When we were almost done washing, we suddenly heard footsteps and someone talking, and after a while the voices got closer and closer.

Aunt Man was worried that it was someone from the restaurant and would beat me and Xiaodeng after finding us, so she quickly asked Xiaodeng and I to hide behind the pile of firewood behind the stove, and covered us with some thatched grass to start the fire.

After hiding, Aunt Man just sat down and picked up a bowl, and the curtain of the back kitchen was lifted. I and Xiao Deng could clearly see two men coming in through the gaps in the firewood.

I know one of the men, he is the shopkeeper Wu of Honghe Tower. I have never seen the other man before. He is about the same height as the shopkeeper Wu, but he is very strong.

When Manager Wu and the man lifted the curtain and saw Aunt Man, their faces changed.

Then Shopkeeper Wu asked Aunt Man why she hadn't packed up yet. Aunt Man explained the reason to him, and Shopkeeper Wu asked her to pack up quickly and go home.

They thought everything was fine and were about to leave, but the strange man suddenly walked up to Aunt Man, stared at her for a long time, and asked her if she had heard anything just now.

Aunt Man didn't know if she was frightened by his look, so she answered him honestly and said that she heard them talking.

Who knows… who knows…”

When he said this, Tiansheng's voice was choked up a little, and his hands were clenched into fists.

Lin Shuyue didn't say anything, but poured him a glass of water and handed him a handkerchief.

Tiansheng shook his head, did not take the handkerchief, but just took a sip of water.

After a while, Tiansheng gritted his teeth and continued, "Who knew that as soon as Aunt Man finished speaking, the man's face changed drastically.

Then…then we saw the man grabbing Aunt Man’s neck and lifting her up, with Aunt Man’s feet off the ground…

The little stool fainted from fright at that moment.

Sister A Yue was born useless. She was so scared at that time that she could only hide behind the firewood and cry with her hands covering her mouth. She didn't dare to go out to save Aunt Man.

Woohoo…I’m sorry, Aunt Man! I’m just a coward… an ungrateful person…”

Tiansheng could no longer hold back his tears and cried out all the self-blame and guilt that had been weighing on his heart.
