She nodded because she had wanted to seek justice for her wife every day for years.

Unfortunately, she was of low status and her power was too insignificant. Over the years, she had not been able to find any substantial evidence to seek justice for the lady.

So when she heard Jian Yixue's words, she felt that what Jian Yixue said was also her own sentiment, and nodded in agreement.

But after the initial excitement, she realized that the fact that she hadn't been able to find anything out over the years meant that the situation was incredibly complex, and that a moment of carelessness could cost someone their life.

The thought that Jian Yixue might be in danger caused Aunt Qiu a pang of indescribable heartache. She couldn't let the life of Madam's only child be threatened.

This was her precious child, whom she and her wife had raised together; how could she bear to put her in danger?

She believed that even if the madam were alive, she would not allow such a thing to happen.

Hearing Aunt Qiu's words, Jian Yixue felt a sense of kinship she had never experienced in all these years, which made her feel incredibly warm.

Before meeting Aunt Qiu, family affection was something she only felt when she thought of her mother in her dreams.

In her past life, she sacrificed a precious friendship for a love that was the envy of the world. For the sake of family, she repeatedly hurt those who loved her deeply.

Even so, even in the end, she didn't truly possess anything.

But what Aunt Qiu brought her was something that no amount of money or benefits could compare to.

With a happy smile on her face, Jian Yixue tightened her grip on Aunt Qiu's hand, trying to soothe Aunt Qiu's fear.

"Aunt Qiu, I'm fine. I told you before that I can protect myself perfectly well now, so don't worry."

As her daughter, it is my duty to find out the truth and seek justice for her.

I'll handle all these things. You just stay here and enjoy your retirement. I'm no longer able to fulfill my filial duties to my mother, so please let me experience the joys of family life.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Youju quickly chimed in, "That's right, that's right. Our boss is very powerful. He doesn't care about those small fry."

"Aunt Qiu, Sister Yi Xue is very capable, you have to believe in her."

Qingyan, who usually clashes with Youju, surprisingly agreed with Youju's words this time.

Hearing what the others said, Aunt Qiu looked at Youju and Qingyan with eyes full of gratified tears, and finally her gaze returned to Jian Yixue.

Yes, Miss is definitely not an ordinary person, not to mention her son-in-law, whose reputation she has long heard of.

With him behind her, Miss will not get hurt.

After hearing this, Aunt Qiu nodded with tears in her eyes, "Yes, I believe you, Miss."

She then responded to Jian Yixue holding her hand.

Jane smiled with relief upon seeing this.

"From now on, Aunt Qiu can just call me by my name. There's no need to call me Miss. It's too formal."

Jane Yixue said with a smile.

Aunt Qiu frowned upon hearing this and quickly shook her head, "How can that be! A young lady is a young lady, she can't be so disorderly..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jian Yixue interrupted her, saying calmly, "There's nothing that can't be done. Aunt Qiu, you've long been like an elder to me."

Moreover, the suffering you have endured for my daughter and me over the years makes you even more deserving of my respect, so it is only right that you call me Yixue.

Putting all that aside, given the many years of friendship between you and my mother, it's only right that you call me by my name. If you don't agree, then you're saying I'm not worthy enough, and you're treating me like an outsider.

Jian Yixue did it on purpose; she used both soft and hard tactics to make it impossible for Aunt Qiu to refuse her request.

She knew that Aunt Qiu always regarded her mother as the most important person in her heart. In Aunt Qiu's eyes, she, as her mother's daughter, was already considered half a mistress.

Aunt Qiu resisted being called by her name.

She said that at the end so that Aunt Qiu wouldn't be able to refuse her.

As expected, Aunt Qiu frowned immediately upon hearing Jian Yixue's words.

She quickly shook her head and explained, "How could that be, Miss? Ever since Madam conceived you, I have stayed by her side, accompanying her day and night until your birth. From the moment you were born, I have regarded you as my mistress and have always devoted myself to taking care of you with Madam."

I have never married or had any children in my life. To say something that might seem a bit inappropriate, although you are not my biological child, you have always been my pride, and I have always treated you as my own daughter.

"Miss and Madam are both my closest people, but in terms of status, you are still my Miss. This cannot be confused."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue pouted, a rare occurrence for her, and looked to the side with her head held high. "In the end, Aunt Qiu still treats me like an outsider."

How could that be?

Aunt Qiu stared wide-eyed at Jian Yixue and asked in return.

“Aunt Qiu’s promise to me means she treats me like family,” Jian Yixue persisted.

She knew that being unreasonable was the best course of action at this time.

Aunt Qiu was about to say something when she heard Jian Yixue's words, but when she saw Jian Yixue deliberately turning away from her and looking at her with a helpless expression, she went through a struggle in her heart and said helplessly, "Okay, I promise you, Miss."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue pouted and turned to look at Aunt Qiu, her eyes filled with a hint of accusation.

"What did Aunt Qiu just call me?"

Aunt Qiu was slightly taken aback when she heard this. She went through what she had just said in her mind and then understood. A loving yet helpless smile appeared on her face.

"Xiaoxue, I'll call you Xiaoxue from now on, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue smiled and nodded, then leaned against Aunt Qiu's arm, saying, "That's more like it."

Seeing this, Aunt Qiu turned her head to look at Jian Yixue with a kind and doting gaze. Looking at Jian Yixue on her arm, she couldn't help but reach out and stroke the top of her head.

Seeing this scene, Youluo and the others were all happy for the couple's affection and for Jian Yixue.

The organization is mostly made up of orphans, and almost all of them are orphans. After becoming assassins, estrangement from family becomes their defining characteristic.

But in the quiet of the night, those who had never experienced family affection were actually envious deep down, after all, who wouldn't want to be in a loving and caring family?

Seeing Jian Yixue find her own family, tears welled up in everyone's eyes. They wondered if they would ever be able to experience such a touching scene in the future.

The sentimental Yuju, watching this scene, burst into tears of joy.

She was originally sitting on the other sofa, but unconsciously leaned towards Jian Yixue. "Boss, I envy you so much. It's so good to be able to find family."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue got up from Aunt Qiu, her expression no longer relaxed as before, and turned to look at Youju.
