While praying silently, Yun Dazheng quickly rummaged through the house, pulling out all the cash and bankbooks. Aside from a few dozen yuan in loose change, he put everything else into a small cloth bag. It was winter, and everyone was dressed thickly, so the small bag was easily tucked into an inside pocket. With money, his granddaughter's life would be a little easier…

Even after considering everything, Yun Dazheng couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"Child, keep this small bag close to your body. When you get to Leopard's house and are alone, open it and take good care of it..." Yun Dazheng didn't dare tell Yun Duo that he had basically given her all the money in the house. He just handed the small bag to Yun Duo, indicating that she should put it away quickly.

They seemed quite impatient.

This really startled the clouds.

We can't hide it any longer!

Even if Grandpa and Grandma blame me, I can't hide it anymore!

"Grandpa!" Yun Duo took Yun Dazheng's hand, looked at him with a face full of shame, opened her mouth several times, and finally said "I'm sorry".

Yun Dazheng was a little puzzled, but now was not the time to think about these issues. He did not take Yun Duo's shame and embarrassment to heart, but urged Yun Duo: "Alright, child, now is not the time to talk about these things. Quickly put away your bag. In a little while, find an excuse and say... say you're going to play with Lu Jiajia."

"Grandpa Jiajia is the village chief, after all. Those people should still have some consideration for him. When the time comes, find a chance to leave, take a side path, and be careful not to let anyone see you..."

"No, Grandpa." Yun Duo gripped Yun Dazheng's hand tightly, her heart pounding wildly. Although she had decided to tell her grandparents the truth, when it came time to speak, her lips seemed glued shut, and she couldn't open them for a long time.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and, with a do-or-die attitude, grabbed Yun Dazheng and dragged him outside while calling out, "Grandma, Grandma, Uncle Wu..."

Hearing Yun Duo call "Grandma" was fine, but when he heard the words "Uncle Wu," Yun Dazheng was so frightened that his soul almost flew out of his body. He hurriedly reached out to cover Yun Duo's mouth.

However... it was still 'too late' in the end.

Gu Wu arrived very quickly, almost as soon as Yun Dazheng covered Yun Duo's mouth.

Seeing that the old man of the Yun family had covered his young lady's mouth, his face immediately darkened, and at the same time, he quickly moved closer to Yun Dazheng.

Seeing this, Yun Duo quickly winked at Gu Wu. Yun Dazheng also subconsciously shoved Yun Duo behind him, shielding her, and looked at Gu Wu with an embarrassed and ingratiating expression, saying, "Um, Brother Wu, I'm sorry, just now... the child was just saying at home that Uncle Wu is really amazing, but she hadn't finished speaking..."

"Um, well, was her voice a bit too loud? Look, she even woke you up, I'm so sorry... It's nothing, she was just telling me how amazing you are, so..."

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Seeing his young mistress wink at him, and considering Yun Dazheng's actions and words, it was clear that he was protecting Yun Duo. Gu Wu calmed down a bit, but he was worried that Yun Duo might have angered the Yun family patriarch and that the patriarch might hit her.

That won't do.

Even though he is an elder acknowledged by his young lady, he shouldn't hit people.
