Zhou Erni first went home to collect the remains of Zhou Dadong and others and let their families take them away. Then she buried Zhou Dadong with great honor. Of course, she used the money she found on these people to buy the money. As for the money of the other people, Zhou Erni did not return a penny to them, nor did she mention the matter to anyone. She spent the money quietly as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Erni was the only child of Zhou Dadong. His wife died early, and he raised his daughter alone. After Zhou Dadong's death, Zhou Erni didn't know what to do. Her thoughts raced, as if she had thought of something. She remembered those eyes, those righteous eyes, and the righteousness all over his body, Lord Yao, who was so righteous that he could even be evil.

Zhou Erni cleaned up the house and locked the door. She took some of the silver and money with her and hid most of it under the floor tiles.

Zhou Erni first hid herself from others, wearing plain clothes and carrying a bag.

"Er Ni, where are you going?" Aunt Zhou asked curiously.

"Aunt, I'm planning to go to Suyue Temple to burn incense and chant sutras for my father to pray for his soul. I hope he can be reborn in the Western Paradise as soon as possible. This is also a small token of my gratitude as a daughter." Zhou Erni said sincerely.

Aunt Zhou was also moved, "Child, you came back early. Although your father is gone, you still have to live your life!"

Zhou Erni nodded, "I understand, Auntie, I will."

"Okay, go ahead. When you come back, I'll introduce you to some good guys so that you won't be alone." Aunt Zhou said enthusiastically.

Zhou Erni's eyes were dim and unclear, but she still smiled and replied, "Okay, thank you, Auntie. It's getting late, I'll be on my way now."

After Aunt Zhou left, Zhou Erni spat on the ground and said, "Where can such a good man come from in this shabby village? If I want to marry, I want to marry a talented young man like Master Yao."

Zhou Erni got on Ma Dali's ox cart, and after a walk around the town, she changed into a simple but thoughtful outfit.

When Ma Dali saw her again, he was stunned for a moment. "Didn't she say she was going to Suyue Temple? Why did she change her clothes again?"

"Uncle Ma, can you take me to Guangquan Prefecture?" Zhou Erni looked around for a long time and found that there were no other ox carts or other means of transportation. She had no choice but to ask Ma Dali again.

"Aren't you going to Suyue Temple? Suyue Temple is right in the town!" Ma Dali looked confused.

"The nun in that temple said that they would not accept a girl like me and asked me to go home. I thought that going home would also make me sad, so I decided to go to Guangquan Prefecture to find my aunt and help me relieve my mood." Zhou Erni lied as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Okay then. Guangquan Prefecture is a bit far, so we should leave early. Come on up." Ma Dali felt a little sympathetic towards the girl when he heard this, so he asked her to get on the car quickly to take her there.

The journey was bumpy, but Zhou Erni was happy because she was about to meet Yao Wenyuan.

When they arrived at the gate of Guangquan Prefecture, Ma Dali said, "I wanted to take you in, but my ox cart has to charge extra money, so I can only take you here."

Zhou Erni felt that what she heard was exactly what she wanted. This was the best solution. Otherwise, she would have to think of how to conceal the truth.

"That's all. Thank you, Uncle Ma. How much is it?" Zhou Erni asked.

"No need. It's not easy for you as a girl. You'd better keep your money," said Ma Dali.

Zhou Erni smiled sweetly upon hearing this, "Thank you, Uncle Ma!"

Ma Dali separated from her and walked for a while. He found that Zhou Erni still had a bundle on the cart. Ma Dali had to stop, back up, tie up the ox cart, and then take the bundle and go looking for her.

Zhou Erni was very focused and headed straight for the prefect's residence.

Seeing that she was walking in the wrong direction, Ma Dali wanted to call her, but he didn't open his mouth. He wanted to see what Zhou Erni was trying to do.

Zhou Erni spoke to the old doorman for a few words. The old doorman hesitated and didn't want to let her in. But at this time, Yao Wenyuan passed by and saw Zhou Erni with a puzzled look on his face. "Zhou Erni? What are you doing in my house?"

"Master Yao, I think my father is dead and I have nowhere to go. I was planning to look for my aunt, but I don't know where she lives. I don't know anyone else except you, Master Yao. I was wondering if I could come to your house to bother you. I can help you with the work. I can do anything." Zhou Erni said seriously and pitifully when she saw that it was Yao Wenyuan.

Yao Wenyuan frowned, "This..."

Seeing that Yao Wenyuan had not yet left for work but was lingering at the door, He Huaixiu walked over curiously and asked, "Ayuan, why haven't you left for work yet?"

Yao Wenyuan glanced at He Huaixiu. "Zhou Erni said she came to look for her aunt. She has nowhere to go and it's been so long, so she doesn't know where her aunt is now. She wanted to stay with us and even offered to work for us."

He Huaixiu glanced at Zhou Erni and frowned slightly. Why was this person still haunting her? When he was here before, he tried every means to get close to Yao Wenyuan, which made He Huaixiu very unhappy. Now that he was going to move in again, she was a little unhappy and didn't say anything.

Zhou Erni said at the right moment, "Have I embarrassed Huaixiu and Lord Yao? If so, then I'd better leave..."

He Huaixiu watched her acting, she looked so pitiful, with a hint of red at the corners of her eyes and a dot of red on the tip of her nose, as if someone had bullied her.

Yao Wenyuan looked at her, then looked at He Huaixiu, and then said, "Xiuxiu, why not let her stay? You talk too much on weekdays anyway. If Erni comes, she can help share some of your burden, so you won't be so tired."
