"Aunt, if you have anything to say, just ask! We're on good terms." Seeing Yu Meiru's expression, Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but guess her hesitation and quickly made a promise. Throughout her two lives, the Zhao family had been Zhou Yuanyuan's most important relatives. First, it had been Zhao Qingshan and Zhao Guohui, and now, Yu Meiru and her children had joined. Unlike Zhao Guohui's ex-wife, Yu Meiru was completely devoted to the Zhao family, and for this very reason, Zhou Yuanyuan was willing to give her a bit more face.
"Yuanyuan, this may be a little dangerous. See if you can help. If you can, ask my dad for help. If you can't, forget it. I can't let you down for my parents' family..." Yu Meiru didn't finish her words. She sniffed and tears rolled down her eyes.
Yu Meiru had heard something from Zhao Yu yesterday, and she hadn't slept well all night. Remembering Zhou Yuanyuan's "abilities," Yu Meiru called her early in the morning. She couldn't think of anyone who could save her father, Yu Xiaohan. After much thought, she realized that her eldest sister-in-law's daughter, Yuanyuan, was the most powerful. Even Zhao Qingshan, when he talked about Zhou Yuanyuan at home, said she was the most powerful of the two families.
"Aunt, what happened to Grandpa Yu?" Zhou Yuanyuan saw Yu Meiru's expression and knew that Yu Xiaohan must have encountered some difficulty. Perhaps it was another case of "superpowers." Otherwise, with the Yu family's wealth and Zhou family's power, Yu Meiru couldn't have been so distressed.
"Yuanyuan, your cousin said that a few days ago a man in black came to see my dad. They closed the door and talked in the room for half an hour. Then, after the man in black left, my dad told Xiaoyu not to go to school and stay at home with him for a few days..." Yu Meiru wiped her nose with a tissue and continued, "My dad is a man who wouldn't do such a stupid thing if he didn't have some difficulties to overcome. My dad wants Xiaoyu to make progress more than anyone else. How could he let Xiaoyu give up her studies for no reason?"
After hearing what Yu Meiru said, Zhou Yuanyuan also remembered that when she went to Zhao's house yesterday, her little cousin Zhao Yu complained to her that Yu Meiru beat him up because Zhao Yu had skipped school for a few days with Yu Xiaohan's connivance.
Zhou Yuanyuan found it strange. Yu Xiaohan, a well-educated man, wouldn't say something like, "My family's rich, it doesn't matter whether Zhao Yu goes to school or not." Unless Yu Xiaohan was forced into a corner? In danger? Was it Yu Xiaohan or Zhao Yu who was in danger?
"Zhuzhu, go next door and see what Grandpa Yu is doing." After Zhou Yuanyuan made up her mind, she quickly ordered Chaos Pearl to go invisible and monitor Yu's house.
Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual sense could also "see" the situation in the Yu family, but wasn't she trying to "feed" her aunt some spiritual chicken soup? By the way, she also wanted to find something for the Chaos Pearl to do, so that it wouldn't be so busy all day and night, feeling uncomfortable if it wasn't used.
"Okay, Master." Chaos Pearl happily went to work after receiving Zhou Yuanyuan's assignment. Zhou Yuanyuan was right; Chaos Pearl was a bit of a flaneur. Whenever Zhou Yuanyuan didn't use it for a while, Chaos Pearl would secretly wonder if it had fallen out of favor. Fortunately, Hu Sanniang had been cultivating spiritual plants in Chaos Pearl's trial world for years; otherwise, Chaos Pearl would surely resent Hu Sanniang for stealing its master's attention. As for Xiaoyu, Chaos Pearl didn't dare blame her. Xiaoyu's position as the boss had always been secure, and Chaos Pearl was content to play second fiddle.
"Master, there is a trap here." Chaos Pearl's astonished voice sounded in Zhou Yuanyuan's mind.
A trap? There's a trap in Yu Xiaohan's house? Did Yu Xiaohan offend a cultivator? I wonder if it's related to the cultivator who set up the feng shui formation last time? Zhou Yuanyuan was a little stunned.
"Master, what should we do? Should we break the entire formation or sneak in and take a look first?" Chaos Pearl did not receive any instructions from Zhou Yuanyuan, so he could not help but urge.
"Let's sneak in and take a look," Zhou Yuanyuan decided decisively. Before she knew who had tampered with the Yu family, Zhou Yuanyuan felt it was best to be cautious when encountering a cultivator. Xiaoyu had once said that the moment a formation was broken, the person who set it up would sense it. Since the Chaos Pearl could easily sneak in, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to alert the enemy.
"Okay!" Chaos Pearl agreed, pressed its body against the formation barrier, and squeezed in after twisting its way.
"Aunt, let's go visit Grandpa Yu's house later and ask if he's in any trouble," Zhou Yuanyuan said softly, comforting Yu Meiru. Zhou Yuanyuan cared more about Yu Meiru's safety than Yu Xiaohan. When was Yu Xiaohan targeted? Was it before or after he moved to Kyoto? What were this person's intentions towards Xiaohan? Would it affect Yu Meiru's family?
In an instant, so many question marks flashed through Zhou Yuanyuan's mind.
Zhou Yuanyuan had always been fond of Yu Meiru, not only because she had discerned talent and married the impoverished Zhao Guohui, but more importantly, because she was a person of gratitude. That year, after Zhou Yuanyuan fell into a coma, General Zhou was set up by He Shumin, and the Zhou family faced a devastating disaster. At that critical juncture, the Zhu and Cao families stood by, while the Zhao family remained steadfast. Yu Meiru, likewise, continued to manage the company for Zhao Yunxiang, never considering distancing herself from the situation.
For this reason, Zhou Yuanyuan accepted Yu Meiru's favor. Otherwise, Yu Xiaohan's "luck-sucking formation" was not a good thing, and who knows what powerful cultivators would be involved in the future, so Zhou Yuanyuan would not touch it.
"Master, the old man next door is crying in his bed, holding an album and looking at photos, tears streaming down his face." A few minutes later, the Chaos Pearl returned and reported what it had seen to Zhou Yuanyuan. Compared to the Yushan Sect's restrictions, the "trap" formation next door was a piece of cake for the Chaos Pearl. If Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't forbidden it from destroying it, the Chaos Pearl would have immediately sucked away the spiritual energy that had set up the "trap." "Shhhhhh~"! Even a mosquito's legs might be small, but they're still meat! The energy-starved Chaos Pearl showed that it truly wasn't picky about its food.
Zhou Yuanyuan covered her face. The Chaos Pearl had been getting more and more ferocious lately, wanting to eat any magic weapon and break any formation. It seemed like she should go out for a walk sometime to gather more energy for her two spiritual treasures.
"Aunt, is Grandpa Yu awake yet? How about we go over there now?" Zhou Yuanyuan pretended not to know what was happening in Yu Xiaohan's family and made a suggestion to Yu Meiru.
"Of course he's up. My dad gets up at 7:45 every morning, no matter what." Yu Meiru quickly stood up and prepared to go next door with Zhou Yuanyuan. Before she could figure this out, Yu Meiru felt like she was going crazy from thinking about it.
