The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. He Yuzhu didn't know how many times he had looked out the window.

Xu Changping, who had originally agreed to come to my house for dinner, suddenly changed his mind for some reason and has not come back yet so late.

Just as he withdrew his gaze and was about to talk to the system on his body, the sound of someone walking outside the door suddenly came.

He looked out the window and saw Xu Changping pushing his bicycle past their door.

Now He Yuzhu didn't bother to look for his system. He quickly put on some clothes and rushed out of the house.

"Brother Xu, you're back!"

"Brother He, is there something wrong so late?"

Under the moonlight, Xu Changping looked at He Yuzhu, who rushed out of the house without even putting on his shoes, and had to stop his steps to go home.

"Brother Xu, I won't take up much of your time. Please help me take a look at this thing." As he said that, He Yuzhu handed the cinnabar bracelet he found last night to Xu Changping.

"This is cinnabar." Xu Changping just took the thing in his hand, rubbed it casually and said.

After saying this, he put the bracelet under his nose and smelled it carefully before continuing:

"It's cinnabar mixed with musk. It smells the same as the dress you brought last night."

Xu Changping was also convinced. He didn't know who had targeted He Yuzhu's wife. There were endless ways to harm her every day.

"Thank you for your help, Brother Xu." He Yuzhu took the bracelet handed over by Xu Changping and said gratefully.

It is difficult to investigate Bai Yingying's case. After all, it happened 20 years ago. There was chaos and war at that time, and many people could not be found.

"Brother He, I think you need to talk to your sister-in-law about this. After all, she is the person involved, and she should know a lot of things."

Seeing that the other party was so unscrupulous, Xu Changping couldn't help but give He Yuzhu a suggestion.

As the saying goes, a thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. If one day they are not paying attention and Bai Yingying is killed, He Yuzhu will regret it deeply.

"This..." He Yuzhu frowned and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "I'm afraid if I tell your sister-in-law, her body won't be able to bear it."

"My sister-in-law is in good health now. If you trust me, you can call me when the showdown comes." Xu Changping said after thinking for a while.

They are all here to complete the mission. He Yuzhu's system is the same as his, so it's okay for him to lend a hand.

"Then I'll go back and think about it. I may have to trouble Brother Xu then." He Yuzhu did not refuse directly. He had investigated this Xu Changping before and was very sure that he had nothing to do with the Bai family.

"Okay, then I'll go home first." After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Xu Changping didn't try to persuade him anymore. He said hello to him and went back to the East Courtyard.

Seeing Xu Changping leave, He Yuzhu stood in Yuyuan for a while, then went into the room to see Bai Yingying who was sleeping soundly, then turned and went into the room where He Daqing lived.

As soon as he entered the room, he threw the cinnabar bracelet on his hand onto the table and said with a sullen face:

"Dad, Xu Changping is back."

"I heard what he said."

He Daqing took the bracelet, half-closed his eyes, rubbed it and asked He Yuzhu.

"He said it was made of cinnabar mixed with musk." He Yuzhu's tone was cold.

He didn't know what was going on with Bai Yingying. She was apparently doing fine with the Yue family before, but she started to make small moves when she was five months pregnant, determined to kill her.

"Oh! You should ask your wife directly about this. It's no use trying to stop her every day. She's getting older and older, and any random child could cause her problems."

Hearing He Daqing's words, He Yuzhu's expression became a little strange. He didn't expect that He Daqing had the same idea as Xu Changping.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with what I said? I have asked old friends about your wife recently, but there is no news."

He Daqing saw the look on He Yuzhu's face and said in a somewhat unhappy tone.

"It's not Dad, but Xu Changping just suggested to me that I should talk to Bai Yingying about this directly."

Seeing that He Daqing was angry, He Yuzhu hurriedly explained.

"Look how smart Xu Changping is, but you are still so stubborn that you insist on investigating it yourself. In my opinion, you should have told your wife about this a long time ago. She should know the most about her family's affairs."

He Daqing glanced at his silly son and spoke earnestly.

"Then I will tell Bai Yingying tomorrow." Seeing that He Daqing and Xu Changping said so, He Yuzhu also made up his mind.

Otherwise, even if he gave birth to the child in the future, what would he do if the Bai family harmed him again? He couldn't keep his wife and children by his side every day.

"Well, it's best to invite Xu Changping over when you say that. Anyway, everyone knows everything about your wife's family affairs."

After He Daqing finished speaking, he didn't even look at He Yuzhu's expression, but waved his hand to send him away.

"Got it. Then you should go to bed early. I will go back first."

He Yuzhu touched his head awkwardly and turned back to his bedroom.

Reaching out and touching Bai Yingying's face, He Yuzhu gently climbed onto the bed and carefully held her in his arms.

In his previous life, he had always been alone. His parents died early, and he was fostered in his uncle's home. It couldn't be said that his uncle's family treated him very badly.

But they all ignored him and kicked him out as soon as he became an adult. He struggled hard in the city by himself, and it was not until he was in his forties that he bought a small bungalow in the suburbs.

As a result, he died suddenly before he could move in, and was taken to this world by the system. He had no relatives in his previous life, and the He Daqing and He Xiaoyu in this world were both heartless people.

Only Bai Yingying would think of him wholeheartedly, and now she is pregnant with his child. He must keep Bai Yingying and the child.

Thinking of this, a hint of darkness flashed in He Yuzhu's eyes. He absolutely could not let anything happen to them.

As he was thinking, He Yuzhu suddenly felt the person in his arms move, and then he heard Bai Yingying mutter to him with a nasal tone:

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Sleep now."

He Yuzhu quickly lowered his head, gently brushed the hair away from her face, and spoke in a low voice.

Watching Bai Yingying turn over and fall into a deep sleep again, He Yuzhu stopped having wild thoughts, lay down gently beside her, and slowly fell asleep.
