"Here's some silver for you, Granny Qin. Li Chong is getting on in years and it's time for him to get married." Granny Qin instinctively wanted to refuse, but Wu You's next words immediately caught her tongue in her throat.

She was used to a life of hardship. If it weren't for her husband and wife, she probably would have died long ago. But Xiao Chong was also her biological son. When she was young, she didn't give him much care and love. Now, this was all she could do for him.

"Granny Qin, we're family. What's this little bit of money? If you don't take it, you're treating me like an outsider, and I won't have the face to stay here." Wuyou patiently persuaded Granny Qin to accept the money, promising to repay it another day.

"By the way, Granny Qin, do you know where the contract my parents signed with Uncle Kong is?" Wuyou brought up the important matter, as it was crucial to her.

“Miss, Madam said she hid the contract, and only you know about it.” Qin Mama shook her head, looking bewildered.

I know? Even Wuyou was unusually bewildered, desperately searching her memory in her mind, and finally managed to grasp the tail of that memory.

A young man dressed in red rode a horse, its hooves flying and leaving trails of dust, so fast that only his back was visible.

Upon arriving at a small town, Wuyou nimbly dismounted, her movements fluid and graceful. The once small courtyard house had vanished, leaving only bare land.

It seems... the Kong family has already left. Wuyou had already expected this and was not surprised. Based on his memory, he walked to a patch of ground and dug up the slightly softened ground caused by the rain.

No one knows how much time had passed, but a small wooden box finally revealed its true form. Probably no one would have imagined that such a camphor wood box was hidden in the underground of the Kong family.

Blowing away the dust, Wuyou took out an ebony hairpin from her bosom, gently twisted it against the keyhole, and the wooden box opened easily, revealing the scenery inside.

Inside the wooden box lay a few pieces of jewelry. Wuyou remembered that these were Madam Zhang's favorites, which she usually couldn't bear to wear, saying she wanted to save them for her daughter's dowry. Wuyou took out the stack of papers: a thick wad of silver notes and a letter.

It turned out that Madam Zhang understood Kong Tingxuan's personality and was worried that he would mistreat her daughter. In order to leave a way out for her daughter, she cashed in her dowry, hoping that her daughter could live a peaceful and happy life.

She put the wooden box into her spatial storage, mounted her swift horse, and left without looking back. The Kong family had already found the path to heaven, and it was time for her to find her own ladder to the clouds.
