"Why not? Lian'er has nowhere to go now. If we don't take her in, are we just going to watch her wander around?"

"We can give her some money, but we can't let her live here."

"Giving her money doesn't conflict with letting her stay."

"Mother!" Ye Xianchun said sternly, "The people in the second house always think that we killed grandma. They hate us to the core and want you and Shi'an to pay with your lives."

"You and Shi'an went to jail, and although you got out, the matter is not over. Just after you two got out of jail, their house caught fire. Maybe she has already blamed us for this."

Yu Xiuying didn't think so: "How is this possible? We didn't set the fire. And if Lian'er thought we set the fire, she wouldn't have come to us."

"Okay, let's make it a deal. Now she and Xiao Hai are the only ones left in this family. They are already pitiful enough. If we don't lend a hand, it would be our fault."

Seeing that Yu Xiuying was moved with sympathy, Ye Xianchun knew that it was useless to say anything more and stopped arguing with her.

She already had a plan in her mind. Even if the whole family agreed to let Ye Lian'er stay, she would drive her away. She would never allow her family to come to any harm.

Ye Lian'er was the only one left in the room. She put the half-drunk porridge on the table and sat down beside it.

She looked around the room. The room was decorated very well and the items used were also very exquisite. Ye Lian'er took another look at the porridge in front of her.

She couldn't eat anything at all now, but she had to force herself to eat, because she came here not just to seek refuge.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, Ye Lian'er went back to bed and lay down. She took out a paper bag from her sleeve. The bag contained something that could make people...

It was not until dinner time that Ye Shian saw Ye Lian'er at the table.

Ye Xianchun had already told her what happened, and Ye Shian was also sighing.

"Lian'er, I heard about what happened to my second uncle and second aunt. Please accept my condolences."

Ye Lian'er nodded without saying anything.

Liu didn't eat with everyone in the evening. Ziyuan played too hard during the day and fell asleep before it got dark.

So there were only Yu Xiuying, Ye Shian, mother and daughter, and Ye Lian'er at this table.

Seeing that everyone was present, Yu Xiuying gave an order: "Okay, let's eat first."

Ye Shian was already hungry, so he ate a pack of sandwich cookies.

Ye Lian'er looked around at the people at the table, then looked at the dishes on the table.

Four people, six dishes, both meat and vegetarian.

Looking at the rice in front of me, I can smell the fragrance of rice before I eat it.

Ye Shian picked up the chicken in front of him and put it in Ye Lian'er's bowl: "Eat it quickly. You have lost a lot of weight in the past few days."

Ye Lian'er picked up the chopsticks and ate slowly. The food smelled delicious, but she had no appetite at all.

"Have you checked how the fire started?" Ye Shian suddenly asked.

Ye Lian'er's heart trembled, and she slowly shook her head: "It was dry and it started burning like that. We don't know what the reason is."

Ye Shian felt something was strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

How could it be such a coincidence that such a thing happened to their family just after the mother and daughter came out.

Although she specifically asked someone to look after her second uncle's family, she just wanted to teach them a lesson, not to kill them.

Could it be that those people misunderstood?

Ye Shian shook his head and said, no, she just made her second uncle's family unemployed.

Seeing Ye Shian frowning and shaking his head, Ye Xianchun couldn't help but say, "Eat well, what are you thinking about?"

Ye Shian looked up and met Ye Xianchun's eyes: "It's okay, I was just thinking about corn."

Yu Xiuying took a bite of food and asked, "Lian'er, where are your parents buried?"

"It's on the mountain west of Wanning Prefecture."

"I want to go visit them tomorrow." After all, they have lived under the same roof for so many years, and she is the eldest sister-in-law, so it would be unreasonable for her not to go.

Ye Lian'er lowered her head, said "hmm" softly, and ate the rice in the bowl silently.

Seeing that she didn't pick up any food, Yu Xiuying kept picking up food for her: "Eat quickly, and have a good sleep after eating. You will be fine tomorrow."

Ye Lian'er paused with her chopsticks in her hand, and looked up at Yu Xiuying: "Aunt, can my parents come back after I wake up?"

Yu Xiuying met Ye Lian'er's red and swollen eyes and turned away with heartache.

Ye Lian'er smiled bitterly and tears started falling again.

Ye Xianchun sighed. She had not been at home for long and did not have much affection for her second uncle's family. She was the one who ate the most indifferently at the table.

After breakfast the next morning, the group went out. When they reached the door, Ye Lian'er looked at the dozen or so servants following them and she couldn't help but be stunned.

"What is this doing?"

Ye Xianchun helped Yu Xiuying get on the carriage and explained, "I came back to go to Wanning Mansion to buy some things, and they followed to get the things."

After getting on the carriage, Ye Lian'er leaned against Ye Shi'an without saying a word.

Three people had just died in the family, so it was not appropriate for the others to talk or laugh, so they all remained silent.

There was another carriage following behind the horse carriage, with more than a dozen servants sitting on it. Ye Xianchun was always on guard against Ye Lian'er, always feeling that there was something wrong with this girl.

When we arrived at the foot of the mountain west of Wanning Prefecture, the carriage could not go up, so we had to get off and walk.

Ye Lian'er looked back at the servants and said, "They don't need to worship, so they shouldn't go up."

Ye Shian took a look at the offerings he was holding and said, "Let's send two people to follow."

We can't let her carry these things up the mountain.

Ye Xianchun agreed: "There are so many offerings, each of you take a little, and follow us."

Without saying a word, the servants took their things and walked in the direction Ye Lian'er pointed.

Watching everyone climbing up, Ye Lian'er followed behind, silently looking at the big tree not far away.

After the offerings were placed, the servants were waiting not far away. Yu Xiuying talked while burning paper money.

"I have been married to the Ye family for nineteen years. Over the years, our relationship has been neither good nor bad. Although there were some unpleasantness and misunderstandings later, they are all in the past. You can rest assured to take care of Xiaoshan over there, and I will help you take care of the two children here."

"Xianchun, Shi'an, come over and toast to your uncle and aunt."

The mother and her two daughters were concentrating on paying tribute to Ye Zhankui and his wife, but Ye Lian'er stood aside, absent-minded.

She always looked at the big tree not far away from time to time.

This scene happened to be seen by Ye Xianchun. She followed Ye Lian'er's gaze and then winked at the servant standing not far away.

After the worship, the group headed towards Wanning Prefecture in a mighty procession.

But four servants secretly walked towards the tree...

When they arrived at Wanning Prefecture, Ye Xianchun made an excuse to ask Ye Shi'an to take Yu Xiuying to the hot pot restaurant, while he and Ye Lian'er waited at the pork head shop.

In the backyard of the pig head meat shop, Ye Xianchun took out a bag of silver from his pocket and threw it on Ye Lian'er.

Ye Lian'er was stunned: "What are you doing?"
