"Aunt Qiu, you must trust the boss. He will definitely find a way to bring the evildoers to justice."

Looking at Aunt Qiu, who was filled with grief and indignation, Youju, unusually rational, spoke up to comfort her.

Jian Yixue, who was standing to the side, naturally heard Youju's words. She glanced at Youju with admiration in her eyes, but did not say anything to Youju.

But that's not the time to talk about these things. The most important thing right now is to calm Aunt Qiu down.

Jian Yixue turned to look at Aunt Qiu, tightened her grip on Aunt Qiu's hand, and said softly but earnestly, "Aunt Qiu, I'll take care of these things. You can rest assured and watch me seek justice for my mother."

My mother has already left me. I have no other family besides you. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to go on living?

Aunt Qiu, who was immersed in pain and grief, paused when she heard Jian Yixue's words.

My thoughts, which had been clouded by grief, instantly cleared.

She turned to look at Jian Yixue, who was holding her hand, her eyes filled with heartache.

Yes, the young lady still needs her; she can't act rashly.

Now, she only has this one relative left in the world.

The pain of gaining something and then losing it is far greater than the pain of never having gained it at all.

If the young lady were unaware of her existence, it would be fine; even if she were to pay with her life for it, the young lady would not be sad or heartbroken.

Now, judging from how good the young lady is to her, if anything were to happen to her, the young lady would probably be in great pain.

In the end, Aunt Qiu softened.

With tears streaming down her face, she sat down with the help of the two women. "Alright, Aunt Qiu believes that Xiaoxue can definitely get justice for Madam. Xiaoxue also promises Aunt Qiu that she will be careful in everything she does and will live a good life."

This was her wish, and she also knew that it was the lady's wish as well.

From the moment the lady conceived, she would often see the lady gently stroking her belly and speaking to the baby who was still in the lady's womb with a soft smile.

She knew that it was the maternal glow unique to mothers.

The lady loved Miss very much. If the lady were still alive, she would surely wish for Miss to have a peaceful and prosperous life.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue nodded and said solemnly, "Yes, I will, Aunt Qiu."

Afterwards, Jian Yixue recounted the details of her investigation to Aunt Qiu.

Aunt Qiu was deeply moved upon hearing this.

Although she had long known that the lady's identity was not simple and that the young lady was very likely not Jian Mingpeng's biological child, all the things that didn't make sense before now seemed to have a reasonable explanation.

But when the truth was laid bare, she was still deeply shocked.

Having just learned the truth, Youju and Qingyan were filled with rage, wishing they could rush to the Jian family and kill Jian Mingpeng just like Aunt Qiu.

Jian Yixue, who was standing to the side, seemed to have foreseen that Youju would act impulsively. After she finished speaking, she kept her eyes fixed on Youju and did not look away for even half a step.

When Youju saw Jian Yixue watching her, her years of tacit understanding allowed her to perceive the warning within.

But she was not about to give up. She would not let the villain who hurt the boss get away with it, even if it angered the boss.

Just as she was about to speak, Youluo, who had appeared beside her at some point, patted her shoulder, stopping Youju from speaking.

"She's already busy enough, so don't add to her troubles," Youluo said in a cool voice.

Upon hearing this, Youju glanced at Youluo, then at Jian Yixue not far away.

The person who must be most pained by this incident is the leader herself. She must be even angrier and more distressed than the woman. And the reason she is holding back must be because she has her own reasons.

She was not only useless but also a hindrance, and thinking about this, her arrogance subsided considerably.

"Boss, if there's anything you need me to do, just tell me what to do, and I'll do it even if it costs me my life."

Youju spoke in a loud and firm voice, her eyes fixed on Jian Yixue.

Qingyan, standing to the side, nodded vigorously in agreement, "Me too, Sister Yixue."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue glanced gratefully at Youluo, who in turn nodded slightly in response.

Then Jian Yixue looked at Youju and Qingyan, "Yes, I will. The plan will definitely need your help, but it's not as scary as you say. You only have one life, so cherish it and don't say things like that so easily."

After listening to Jian Yixue's words, Youju nodded obediently.

Qingyan nodded in agreement.

...

It took Aunt Qiu a long time to gradually process this fact.

He turned to Jian Yixue beside him and said, "Xiaoxue, you will handle this matter of seeking justice for Madam. However, you should always prioritize not harming yourself. Let me know any progress you make, and if you need any help, just let me know."

Now is not the time for sentimentality. After thinking for a long time, she decided that it would be better for Jian Yixue to handle this matter.

After hearing this, Jian Yixue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

She knew that Aunt Qiu's words meant she agreed with her plan. She would no longer need to worry about Aunt Qiu's safety and could devote more energy to other things.

This made Jane Yixue feel much more relaxed.

Seeing this, Aunt Qiu nodded with satisfaction. "You young people can discuss and handle the rest. Qingyan, help me back to my room to rest."

Then, with a somewhat ambiguous look in his eyes, he glanced at Qingyan not far away.

Hearing Aunt Qiu's words, Jian Yixue nodded in agreement.

These matters involve many things, so it's probably better that Aunt Qiu doesn't know.

She wasn't afraid that Aunt Qiu would find out and leak the secret, but rather that Aunt Qiu would make her overthink things if she knew.

Just as Jian Yixue was about to get up and help Aunt Qiu back to her room to rest, she saw that Aunt Qiu was not moving, so she looked up at Aunt Qiu and saw that she was looking at something else. She curiously followed her gaze and realized that Aunt Qiu was staring at Qingyan.

At this moment, she seemed to realize that Aunt Qiu hadn't called her name, but Qingyan's.

She had been focused on Aunt Qiu's previous words and hadn't expected that Aunt Qiu would ask Qingyan to help her back to her room.

After all, they had only just met.

Upon further reflection, Jian Yixue seemed to understand why Aunt Qiu had suddenly asked the unfamiliar Qingyan to accompany her back to her room.

She probably knew that Qingyan was someone she had recently brought back.

After figuring it out, Jian Yixue felt a warmth in her heart, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Although she didn't know Qingyan's past, she always felt a strange sense of closeness to Qingyan.

She, who never casually makes friends, agreed to let Qingyan into her circle of friends because of a few words from her.

Just as Jian Yixue was about to ask Aunt Qiu to take her back to her room, Qingyan, who was on the other sofa, got up and walked over.

Taking Aunt Qiu from Jian Yixue's hands, Qingyan's sudden action startled Jian Yixue for a moment before she looked at Qingyan.
