The clouds dispersed and the moon once again cast its light into the dark night.
On the empty street, a man in white clothes soaked with blood sat on the ground, repeating a low voice.
And in front of him stood a majestic black and white bear.
Big Bear scratched his head and looked towards the alley ahead with a confused look on his face.
Is he crazy?
A few days ago, this guy was running around, but why is he sitting still today?
At this time, a group of people walked into the moonlight on the street.
The man in black clothes who was leading the group had handsome features that carried a fierce murderous aura, and his dark eyes made it difficult for people to look directly at him.
"Take him back." Jiang Lingyu said coldly.
Two yamen runners quickly stepped forward, lifted up the insane Tian Luowen who was standing in front of Daxiong and dragged him away.
"Come out, don't hide."
Jiang Lingyu came to the entrance of the alley and saw three small figures huddled in the corner. His cold expression suddenly softened.
The moonlight shifted, illuminating a corner of the alley.
The three people, big and small, squatting in the corner with their heads stretched out, all looked up at the man standing in front of them against the light.
Rong Xuqing blinked and asked, "Brother Jiang, why are you here too?"
She looked straight at him, her mouth slightly open, the soft moonlight caressing her soft and delicate little face, making her doubts even clearer.
Boom...
Knock, knock...
Jiang Lingyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned his eyes away and said calmly, "Abai told me to arrest the suspect."
"Brother-in-law... uh no, Brother Jiang..."
Rong Yubai called Jiang Lingyu "brother-in-law" every day, so when he saw Jiang Lingyu now, the first thing he blurted out was these two words.
"A month ago, a girl named Lian'er was found dead in Liushui Lane. She was murdered by Tian Luowen, and he just admitted it himself."
After Lian'er died, her family did not report it to the authorities, so the government still does not know that such a girl had been murdered.
"Yeah, I heard that."
Jiang Lingyu glanced at Rong Xuqing uncomfortably, "Well...it's getting late. I'll take you back."
Rong Xuqing had heard her younger brothers and sisters call her like this many times, but at this moment she seemed calm.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang."
Jiang Lingyu picked up Rong Chaoxi, and the four of them walked towards the general's mansion.
When they arrived at the door, Rong Xuqing asked him to wait.
She had investigated a little about the truth behind Lian'er's death some time ago. All she needed was solid evidence and to convince Lian'er's family so that she could sue Tian Luowen to the authorities.
Now that he has admitted it himself, she doesn't need to get involved in this matter anymore.
"These may be useful." Rong Xuqing handed over all the files of his visits a few days before and after Lian'er's death to Jiang Lingyu.
Holding the thick scroll, Jiang Lingyu was slightly surprised that she had done so much in private.
"You did all this?"
He flipped through a few pages and found that the records were very detailed, including what Lian'er did and when during those days, and who she met. There were clear eyewitnesses to all of them.
"Well, I originally wanted to find a legitimate reason to kill Tian Luowen, but I accidentally discovered Lian'er's death, so I investigated it." Rong Xuqing said lightly.
He didn't notice that the surprise in Jiang Lingyu's eyes became even greater.
She just said very calmly that she wanted to "kill" someone.
The Rong Xuqing in the past would never have said such words. Over the past year, she seemed to have changed a lot.
He involuntarily raised his hand and touched the top of Rong Xuqing's hair.
"Xu Qing has really grown up. She is no longer the weak little girl who didn't even know when she was being bullied."
“…”
Gah, gah, gah...
In an instant, the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence, and the four people were stunned at the same time.
Rong Chaoxi and Rong Yubai looked at each other.
【Brother, hurry up, hurry up! 】
Rong Yubai hugged Chaoxi and turned around and ran away.
Guo Lai didn't know what was going on. He shook his head hurriedly and followed him in.
Just after turning the corner, Chaoxi called him and asked him to hide behind the gate and look out through a small gap.
"Ah, that..." Jiang Lingyu withdrew his hands behind his back at a loss.
He pinched his palm hard.
What are you doing, Dead Hand? She is not a child anymore!
Rong Xuqing's heart was in turmoil for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.
She curled her lips slightly and said,
"Brother Jiang, it's getting late, be careful on the road."
[Eh! My brother-in-law is in trouble~~]
[My eldest sister is now only focused on the family business and doesn't want to talk about love at all. When will my brother-in-law marry her?]
Hearing Chaoxi's groan, Rong Xuqing frowned slightly.
Jiang Lingyu seized this moment and felt a pang in his heart. Was he being disliked?
"Okay..." He slowly put the scroll away. "You should also go to bed early. It's not safe at night. Don't go out alone again."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Although he looked calm on the surface, his back was very lonely.
When I announced last year that I liked her, her avoidance said it all.
Jiang Lingyu told himself: Stop dreaming, she only treats you as a brother.
Rong Xuqing sighed softly and turned to walk in.
The door slowly closed, and the two people behind it had no escape.
Rong Xuqing glared at the two of them resentfully.
"Go back to sleep. Tomorrow morning, my cousin will come to pick up Chaoxi and take her to the Qin Mansion. Grandpa will start teaching her."
“Oh, yes…”
There were so many things going on these days that Rong Yubai forgot about it.
He looked at the little guy with sympathy: Chaoxi, I wish you good luck.
"Don't sympathize with her anymore." Rong Xuqing spoke again ruthlessly, "Ah Bai, you have to go too. Before the Autumn Examination, you two will live in the Qin Mansion."
"Ah——!" Rong Yubai's face instantly showed pain.
"...What?" Rong Chaoxi looked at his brother and sister with curiosity, "What is Kaimeng? Is it delicious?"
…
The next day, at noon, shortly after dawn.
Qin Jiang and Qin Zhan came happily.
The two unhappy people were waiting for them with their heads down.
"What's wrong?" Qin Zhan asked, "Are you still asleep?"
Rong Chaoxi was indeed not awake yet.
And Rong Yubai...
Although he didn't hate reading, nor was he afraid of his grandfather.
But he was afraid of his grandfather when he was teaching!
When he was teaching, Qin Taifu was simply the most stubborn of the stubborn. No one could motivate him to be more rigorous in teaching.
…
"Grandpa, Grandpa... I don't want to write every day. I don't want to write, I don't want to write..."
The little guy just wrote two words and then shouted that he didn't want it.
She climbed into Master Qin's arms, hugged his neck, and rubbed her head against his neck.
My grandfather couldn't stop laughing because the hair on his tiger-head hat rubbed against his grandfather's.
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to write, then don't write for now."
"Your second uncle is really something. Chaoxi and I are so young, there's no need to start learning so early. Children should be happy and carefree."
Rong Yubai: ...
Qin Jiang: ...
Qin Zhan: ...
Grandpa, what are your principles?
That’s not what you said when we were kids!
