No one saw what happened that night.

No one knows when he left the house, when he died, or what he experienced before his death. Based on the fact that his body floated in the river and fishing tools were left by the river, we concluded that he accidentally drowned.

After hearing this, Yu Tang couldn't stand up for a long time.

Ah Tiao looked at her and felt very scared. He asked cautiously, "Then, Miss, should I continue to ask?"

"No need!" Yu Tang felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart, and as if he was soaked in ice water.

The people who lived near the Wei family's farm were all acquaintances of the Wei family. Ah Tiao was a stranger. If someone was interested, they would soon find out who Ah Tiao was. She couldn't alarm the Wei family and make them fall into greater sorrow. This matter ended here for her.

Let the Wei family think that he died of drowning.

She will find out what the truth is.

If he really died of conspiracy, no matter what the reason was or who did it, she would risk her life to seek justice for him and give him justice.

Yu Tang slowly stood up with the help of the table and pushed open the window.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.

The osmanthus flowers are blooming one after another.

The aroma is refreshing.

This is a family reunion festival, and everyone should be happy.

Yu Tang was sitting under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard making hair ornaments.

This time she made camellias. All kinds of them, all kinds of materials, all kinds of colors. In two or three months, she will be able to fill several boxes. When the time comes, in addition to giving some to her mother, her eldest aunt, and Ma Xiuniang's family, she plans to send some to the women in the Wei family as well.

Yu Tang lowered her head and slowly sewed the cut velvet petals together one by one. Soon she made a flower. She then added green leaves, made morning dew with beads, and made bees with scraps of cloth to rest on it. It looked very vivid.

Zhanghua wool is also good, mostly date red in color, with fine hairs, and feels like real camellia petals, delicate and tactile.

Water drops fell from somewhere and wet the silk that she had cut into the shape of green leaves.

Yu Tang frowned.

When I looked up, I found that the sky was clear and cloudless.

Where did these drops of water come from?

She felt strange and uncomfortable on her face, so she touched her face and found her hand was full of water.

Yu Tang was a little confused, but Shuang Tao's shocked voice rang in his ears: "Miss, what happened? Why are you crying so hard? I, I'll go call the madam now..."

She grabbed Shuangtao and said, "Am I crying?"

Shuang Tao looked at her with some fear, pointed at her face, and whispered, "Your face is covered with tears."

"Don't let the madam know." Yu Tang said, "Go get some water so I can wash up again."

Shuang Tao was afraid of scaring Chen, so she hurried to fetch some water.

Yu Tang returned to the house and looked in the mirror.

Just as Shuangtao said, her eyes were red and her face was full of tears.

Yu Tang sat in front of the mirror for a while, her mind was in a trance, she didn't even know what she was thinking. When Shuang Tao came in with some water and washed and changed her clothes, Ah Tiao suddenly came to report that Wei Xiaochuan wanted to see her: "Just wait at the back door."

"I'll go take a look." She got up and went to the backyard.

Wei Xiaochuan, carrying his school basket, leaned against the wall in their backyard, kicking the pebbles at his feet, bored.

When he saw Yu Tang, he immediately stood up straight and said, "Miss Yu, I have something to talk to you alone."

Yu Tang nodded, let him in, and sent Shuang Tao and A Tiao away.

Wei Xiaochuan asked her, "Why did Ah Tiao go and ask about my second brother? Is your family hiding something from us? Also, what did you mean by the questions you asked me last time at the county school?"

Yu Tang had never thought that Wei Xiaochuan was so precocious and so sharp. She was thinking of finding an excuse to fool Wei Xiaochuan, but Wei Xiaochuan had already said, "If you tell me the truth, I might be able to help you. If you lie to me, I will tell the elders of both families about this."

"Ah!" Yu Tang's eyes widened.

Wei Xiaochuan looked proud and said, "Don't think I don't know anything just because I'm young. You came to the county school to see me quietly, and the elders at home definitely didn't know. Ah Tiao was probably acting on your orders. I advise you to be honest and don't provoke me to use thundering means."

No matter how much sorrow Yu Tang felt, it was driven away by Wei Xiaochuan's words.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "You are so young, yet you actually threaten me. Aren't you afraid that I will go to your house and complain?"

"You should be more afraid of me reporting you, right?" Wei Xiaochuan snorted, "Don't think I don't know. If you wanted my elders to know, you would have sent someone to ask directly. It shows that what you did is shameful." He added: "I'm not threatening you. It's just that what you did was too unkind. After I went back, I thought about it carefully. Those questions you asked about my second brother were all about how he died." When he said this, his little face gradually became serious, and his eyes revealed deep sadness.

"I also think that my second brother is not such a reckless person. I thought I was overthinking... You must know something." He looked at Yu Tang for help, "You, just tell me! Even if I owe you a big favor. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Yu Tang was stunned.

Wei Xiaochuan, however, was certain that she knew something, and looked at her stubbornly, as if he would never give up unless she told him.

Yu Tang let out a long sigh.

If this was a sin, then it was originally caused by her. She caused it. Could she cover it up? Could she pretend that nothing happened?

Time is running out for her, and she is in urgent need of help.

"Okay!" Yu Tang made the decision almost immediately. She said solemnly, "I can tell you, but you have to swear that you will never tell this to anyone else."

As for the consequences of this matter, she will bear it.

Wei Xiaochuan hesitated for a moment and then swore.

Yu Tang told Wei Xiaochuan about her concerns, but did not mention the painting. She was afraid that Wei Xiaochuan or the Wei family would be implicated, so she just said that someone was suspected of jealousy.

"I guessed right, I guessed right." Wei Xiaochuan murmured, "I said, my second brother is such an honest man, he was going to propose marriage the next day, how could he run away without saying goodbye. The rivers and streams near my farm are like my second brother's backyard, how could my second brother go fishing and disappear? At that time, frogs were fat and fish were delicious. Whenever the children in the farm had free time, they would go to catch frogs and fish in groups of three or two. How come no one saw my second brother..."

The distraught look of a half-grown child is particularly heartbreaking.

Yu Tang wanted to comfort him, but he suddenly raised his head, stared at Yu Tang, and said, "Miss Yu, is this the Li family?"

This child has become a spirit!

Yu Tang kept his mouth open for a long time.

Wei Xiaochuan said bitterly: "I guessed it was them. No one else in their family would insist on marrying you."

Yu Tang blushed and apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry. I don't have any evidence yet, I don't know if they did it..."

"What do you have to apologize for?" Wei Xiaochuan said unhappily, "If there is any fault, it is their fault. Just because you are beautiful, are they all greedy and want to put the blame on you? You don't need to apologize to me, or anyone else."

"Wei Xiaochuan!" Yu Tang murmured, his vision suddenly becoming blurry.

In her previous life, whether Li Jun died or Li Duan coveted her, Lin always said it was her fault, and flies don't bite flawless eggs. It took her a long time to understand that sometimes, the truth is on the side of the minority.

She was not wrong, it was those people with dirty minds who were wrong.

Since her rebirth, this was the first person who told her so decisively that she was not wrong.

Yu Tang's eyes were filled with tears.

Wei Xiaochuan, however, looked disgusted and said, "You women just love to cry! You cry over big things, small things, when you are happy, when you are sad, no matter what. Can you please stop crying? You are annoying, don't you know?"

He was complaining and his ears were red.

Yu Tang burst into laughter, tried to touch his head, and said, "It's my fault. I will never cry like this again."

Wei Xiaochuan turned his head to avoid her hand and said, "Then I'll leave. I'll tell you when I have any news."

Yu Tang was afraid that he would mess up, so he quickly pulled him back and said, "Let's investigate this matter first. Once we find out, no matter who did it, I have a plan to deal with them. Don't act on your own and ruin my plan."

"I know, I know." Wei Xiaochuan said indifferently, "Even if I want to do something, I can't do it right now. I have to find a helper!"

It turns out that she was the helper chosen by Wei Xiaochuan!

Yu Tang finally understood why Wei Xiaochuan came to her and said such words.

However, she also needs help. If Wei Xiaochuan can help, it will definitely be more useful than Ah Tiao.

Yu Tang asked Shuang Tao to bring a box of snacks to Wei Xiaochuan and said, "You are growing taller now, take them to school to eat. If you can't finish them, give them to your classmates."

The Wei family lived a fairly good life, but they were a rural family after all, with many sons and a heavy burden. They didn't celebrate festivals, and the children didn't have the habit of eating snacks, let alone sharing with their classmates. Wei Xiaochuan was a bit of a loner in school, not because he didn't know how to make friends, but mainly because making friends cost money, and he felt sorry for his parents and didn't want to spend the money.

He didn't want Yu Tang's snacks, and rolled his eyes to stuff them back. Yu Tang said, "Just consider it as a reward for helping me find out the information."

Wei Xiaochuan felt her kindness, hesitated for a moment, and accepted the snacks, thinking that when he became a high-ranking official in the future, he would buy her a lot of cars to repay her favor.

Yu Tang looked at Wei Xiaochuan's lonely back and shook his head with a smile, thinking that this child was so precocious that it was heartbreaking.

Within two days, Yu Yuan came back.

Yu Wen, Yu Tang and he avoided Chen and talked in the study.

"Master Qian was very grateful that we went to talk to him." Yu Yuan lowered his voice and said, "He said that when he first saw the map, he also suspected that it was a nautical map, but he didn't want to get involved, so he didn't say anything. He also felt that this matter was a bit serious, and he planned to hide with his senior brother for a few years. If the business over there can be done, he will not come back, so we don't have to worry about him. He also said that if we decided to go to Fujian, he has a friend there who liked to study the map when he was young, so maybe we know him. He also told me the address of that person and asked us to give it a try."

Yu Wen and Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel happy when they heard this.

"That's good!" Yu Wen said, "It shows that what our ancestors said makes sense. Doing good things will bring good rewards. We just went to give Master Qian a reminder, but Master Qian helped us so much. It's just right. I don't have to ask who has what kind of people doing business in Fujian. I can just go straight to the people introduced by Master Qian."

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly.

Chen knocked on the door outside and complained, "Why did you close the door again? I have something to say, please open the door."

Yu Wen and the other two looked at each other, and Yu Tang hurried to open the door.

Chen came in with a frown on her face and said, "It's a nice autumn day. If you have something to say, why don't you talk in the yard? Why are you hiding in the study?"

Yu Wen quickly changed the subject and asked, "Is there something urgent you want to talk to us about?"

Chen said: "A matchmaker came to our house..."

The villain in Yu Tang's heart immediately put up a shield.

The Li family's issue has not been resolved yet. Whoever she discusses marriage with at this time will be harming that person!

"Mom, please put my marriage on hold for now!" she said anxiously, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and after Mid-Autumn Festival is Double Ninth Festival, so let's wait until October!"

Chen heard this and laughed, "What if I insist on settling your marriage right now?"

Yu Tang opened his mouth wide, but saw misery in his mother's eyes.

"Mom!" she said at a loss.

Chen smiled and tapped her forehead, saying, "What do you think you are? Are we here to propose marriage to you?"

Yu Tang asked blankly: "Isn't it?"

Chen burst into laughter and said, "Don't we still have your brother in our family?"

Everyone was shocked.

Yu Yuan's face flushed red.

Yu Wen asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Why didn't you ask your eldest sister-in-law to marry you, but came to you?"

yes!

Yu Tang tilted his ears to listen.

Chen said, "It was the Wei family. Mrs. Wei asked them to help. They said that Atang and their son Xiaoer were really unfortunate and they wanted to continue being in-laws with our family. They were afraid that my eldest sister-in-law might have some ideas, so they asked the matchmaker to test my attitude first. I came to you to discuss this matter."

Yu Yuan's face flushed red. He wanted to leave but also wanted to listen, so he stood there in a dilemma.

Yu Wen said, "Don't they have only five sons? Where did the daughter come from? Could she be from another branch of the Wei family?"

Chen covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "Mrs. Wei wants to match her niece who grew up in the Wei family with our A-Yuan."

"That little girl!" Yu Wen obviously had an impression of her, and said, "Okay, okay, I think it's okay. Then you can go and talk to your sister-in-law. The Wei family is a kind family, and I regret that I can't become relatives with them."

Chen looked at Yu Yuan with a smile and said, "Then I'll go over. The matchmaker is still waiting for your reply!" Although she said this, she didn't move, which made Yu Yuan so embarrassed that he wanted to curl up into a ball.

Yu Wen and his wife laughed and asked Yu Yuan, "What do you think? Although marriage is decided by your parents, we also hope that you can live a good life. Think about whether you are willing or not."

Yu Yuan's face turned red as if blood could drip out, and he nodded randomly.
