There was an indescribable heartache in her eyes.

Jian Yixue knew about the past of the companions who accompanied her from the moment she joined the organization. They were all abandoned in orphanages as children and were specially selected by the organization to receive training. After completing their training, they would work for the organization. Only when their value to the organization was equal to the investment in their training would they have the opportunity to escape the organization.

She was an exception. Back then, she knew nothing and needed wings, so she followed Youfeng's advice to join the organization. It took her five years to take over the organization and then leave.

She took over the organization because she was tired of living on the edge and wanted to return to a peaceful life.

Not long after she took over the organization, she left H country and returned to the countryside where she grew up, where she began a life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Because of her blindness in her previous life, she did not know what became of her companions.

Hearing Youju's words now, she felt extremely distressed.

Whether it was her actions in her past life or Youju's tragic background, she felt guilty.

From her past life to the present, no matter what she needs help with, they will help her unconditionally as long as she asks, without ever complaining.

As for her, everything from her past life to the present tells of her dereliction of duty, and her eyes are filled with unconcealed guilt when she looks at Youju.

After a long while, Jian Yixue's gaze became increasingly firm.

In this life, she must be their leader.

He then looked at Youju and said firmly, "My family is your family too."

Aunt Qiu, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement when she heard Jian Yixue's words.

She had high hopes for the young lady's group of friends.

Especially these past few days, with Youju constantly by her side protecting her, she has grown to like this innocent, optimistic, and cheerful girl even more.

Even if the young lady didn't say it, she liked this girl.

Aunt Qiu looked at Youju, a kind smile on her aged face, and said gently, "Yes, Xiaoju. If you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Qiu like Xiaoxue does. As long as I'm here, you will all be children with a home."

Youju was already deeply moved when she heard Jian Yixue's words.

Hearing Aunt Qiu's words now brought her to tears.

As a child without a home, the allure of home was simply too great for her.

Since she could remember, she had never experienced the warmth of family. Faced with such a huge temptation, Youju had no power to resist.

"How could that be? I couldn't be happier. Aunt Qiu... I'll have family now, I'm not alone anymore... Waaah..."

As Youju spoke, she put her arm around Aunt Qiu's shoulder and slowly leaned her head against her. The rising temperature of her cheeks caused tears to flow involuntarily from Youju's eyes.

These are tears of joy, tears that symbolize happiness.

You know, over the years she had imagined the moment of having family countless times, and when it finally came, the excitement in her heart was no less than she had expected.

Youluo and the others were deeply moved by what they saw.

Over the years, in their eyes, Youju has always been a carefree, cheerful, and outgoing person.

Unexpectedly, she was actually so fragile and sensitive inside.

Perhaps it was her status as an orphan that made her value family ties even more.

Therefore, once you possess it, you will let down your guard.

Looking at Youju with tears streaming down her face, Qingyan momentarily forgot about their previous rivalry for favor and felt especially sorry for Youju.

She grew up in a loving family, but she wanted to venture out on her own, so she secretly ran away.

Her family treated her quite well; compared to them, her situation was much better.

Jian Yixue glanced sideways at Youju in Aunt Qiu's arms beside her, her eyes slightly moist, overjoyed for Youju.

Then, looking at Youluo and Youzhu not far away, Youluo and Youzhu, who were watching Youju, sensed that someone was watching them and looked back.

Their eyes met, and they smiled slightly. Jian Yixue parted her thin lips and said silently, "You have me."

Youluo and Youzhu saw Jian Yixue's lip movements, their lips curled up, and they nodded.

a long time

Everyone has recovered from their previous emotional state.

Aunt Qiu then turned to Jian Yixue and asked, "Xiaoxue, is it true that you have already investigated the truth behind Madam's murder?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue nodded solemnly, her expression serious. "Yes, I found it."

He paused slightly, then continued, "It's pretty much what you guessed. However, there might be a mastermind behind it all; Jian Mingpeng might just be the one who carried it out."

Jian Yixue looked at Aunt Qiu beside her, paying attention to the changes in her expression.

When she first learned of this, she was deeply shocked.

Aunt Qiu, who had been working on this matter for many years, must have felt an even greater shock and blow upon learning the truth than she had.

Aunt Qiu looked at Jian Yixue and her eyes instantly filled with tears. Her expression was full of sorrow. She sat on the sofa and patted her thighs with both hands. "It really is him! I was unlucky to meet such a bad man! I thought that even if he was not a good match for Madam, he would be grateful and treat Madam with respect because of how much Madam helped him in his career."

Who would have thought that the lady had let a wolf into the house! How come such a despicable scoundrel hasn't been punished by heaven, and is still at large, even enjoying fame and fortune?

Since Heaven can't control him, I'll take his dog's life to pay for my wife's.

After saying that, Aunt Qiu stood up excitedly, but Jian Yixue quickly grabbed her as she was about to leave.

Just as Aunt Qiu was about to leave, she felt someone pulling her. She turned around and saw Jian Yixue, and she was not surprised at all.

However, she could not let the murderer who harmed her lady go unpunished. The reason she had been living all these years was so that one day she could clear her lady's name and seek justice.

The reason she hadn't taken action before was because she couldn't find conclusive evidence. But now that Jian Yixue had told her that the villain who had harmed the lady was Jian Mingpeng, she could no longer tolerate Jian Mingpeng living another minute.

She only wanted Jian Mingpeng to pay for his wife's life!

"Xiaoxue, let me go. For so many years, I have never stopped thinking about seeking justice for Madam, which is why I have survived until now."

I'm determined to do this, don't stop me.

After Aunt Qiu finished speaking, she tried her best to break free from Jian Yixue's grasp, but she failed after trying for a long time.

Jian Yixue was a trained person, and her physical strength was much greater than that of ordinary people. Moreover, she originally wanted to stop Aunt Qiu's actions, so she naturally used her real strength.

Seeing this, Youju got up and came over to help, taking Qiuyi's arm from the other side.
