The kitchen downstairs was busy in full swing. Aunt Li kept her eyes and ears open, not wanting to miss any sound.

Even after Aunt Li finished preparing dinner, she still hadn't seen Lu Anning and Tang Jingyuan coming down from upstairs. She stood at the stairs, staring up at the stairs, wondering what she was thinking.

Aunt Wang suddenly called out to her from behind: "Sister Li, what are you doing standing here?"

Aunt Li came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly, "I've already prepared dinner, haven't I? I was wondering if I should ask the husband and wife to come down for dinner. It's late autumn, and the food won't taste good if it gets cold."

Wang Ma pulled Aunt Li back a little. "Mr. and Mrs. are used to having dinner around seven, so it's still early. Besides, this table has a constant temperature system, so it won't get cold. Mr. doesn't like being interrupted when he's talking, so we just need to do our part."

Aunt Li responded absentmindedly, not knowing whether she heard it or not, but her eyes kept glancing upstairs.

"Auntie Wang, I heard that you've always taken care of Mr. Wang. How come it seems like you don't care about Mr. Wang at all?"

Wang Ma couldn't help but laugh: "Who are we to be concerned about the husband's affairs? Keeping to ourselves is what we should do most. Sister, if you want to last long, you must learn to be a smart deaf and dumb person."

Aunt Li forced a smile and said nothing more.

After a while, Lu An Ning was led downstairs by Tang Jingyuan. The two of them were whispering to each other, and it seemed more like Tang Jingyuan was instructing Lu An Ning about something.

Lu Anning had a worried look on his face, not smiling at all, and was forced to sit down by Tang Jingyuan.

The table was full of Lu Anning's favorite dishes, but she was reluctant to pick up her chopsticks today. Obviously, she was not in a good mood, and this situation started when she went downstairs.

Tang Jingyuan patiently picked up some food and poured some soup for Lu Anning, showing great care for her, but Lu Anning didn't move.

"Let's finish dinner first. We need to consider some matters in detail."

"You don't understand my feelings at all! I can't wait any longer. I'm going to the western suburbs right now to find that person and ask him about it."

Lu An Ning didn't eat a single bite. He put down his chopsticks and was about to leave. Tang Jingyuan quickly stopped him.

"The person is right there, he can't get away. Besides, wasn't my father-in-law confident about what happened back then? He certainly wouldn't have thought that we could find other insiders."

"It's better to be safe than sorry. I'm worried! I can't let go of the clues I've finally found."

"It's dark now, and that place is full of people of all kinds. It's really not safe for you to go there. If you're worried, I'll have Lin Tao bring someone to Bixi Bay early tomorrow morning. You can ask anything you want then."

Lu Anning looked at Tang Jingyuan and hesitated for a moment: "Are you sure everything will be alright?"

"I promise."

Lu Anning took a deep breath and then sat back down.

Aunt Li rolled her eyes and asked cautiously, "Madam, what's the matter that makes you so anxious?"

Lu Anning blurted out: "Isn't it because I burned down the small western-style building in your hall? At that time, someone died in the fire. That person..."

Tang Jingyuan interrupted sharply: "Ningning!"

"It's okay. Aunt Li is not an outsider. It was she who told me the address at the time that allowed me to find the clues."

Aunt Li said nervously, "Someone was burned to death? I don't know about that. That's too tragic. What happened to that person?"

"That person is very important to me. I wanted to find out the truth, so I asked Jing Yuan to help me investigate. I didn't expect that after more than 20 years, he really found the insider."

"That's great! Is that the western suburbs you were talking about? I know a little bit about that area. Some places are really messy."

"Western Suburbs, No. 158, Nanhua Road, do you know where it is?"

Aunt Li seemed to be lost in thought. "Nanhua Road, I know, is the most chaotic area in the western suburbs. It's best if Madam doesn't go there so late at night. Let's have him arrange to pick her up tomorrow morning so we can take a closer look at the situation. It won't cost us another night. What do you think?"

Lu Anning nodded and then ate his meal obediently.

Tang Jingyuan sighed helplessly: "You just wouldn't listen to what I said. Aunt Li said a few words and you just calmed down. I really don't know what to do with you!"

Aunt Li smiled and said, "Sir, please don't say that. I'm just worried and confused. Fortunately, you are here to protect me!"

Tang Jingyuan glanced at Aunt Li, nodded thoughtfully, and did not continue the topic.

After a while, Aunt Li said she felt a little unwell and went back to her room to rest.

Lu An Ning watched her enter the servants' room. When he looked up, his eyes met Tang Jingyuan's. But in the blink of an eye, Lu An Ning smiled and picked up a piece of pan-fried flounder for Tang Jingyuan.

"Thanks to you! Eat more and replenish your nutrition."

After dinner, Tang Jingyuan received a call and prepared to take Lu Anning out for a walk.

"Fang Le and Zhou Yao have set up a game. It's perfect. I'll take you along to have some fun so you don't have to stay home bored and have wild thoughts."

Aunt Li also smiled attentively and said, "Young people should go out and have fun more."

Tang Jingyuan insisted, and Lu Anning followed him into the car, half-reluctantly. Aunt Li stood in the yard, watching the car drive away, and smiled with relief.

It’s inevitable for young people to go out at night without drinking. If they drink more when they feel like it, they won’t wake up until noon tomorrow.

How nice!
