Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

"No." Ye Ziyu sat up in shock.

Seeing Fang Jingxiu standing aside, "Fang Jingxiu, I just dreamed that Li Qiu died. She was murdered by someone. This was a dream, right? Right?" Ye Ziyu wanted to get up and pull Fang Jingxiu's arm.

Fang Jingxiu quickly walked to the bedside, "Ayu."

Ye Ziyu looked at Fang Jingxiu, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and lowered her head and muttered to herself, "It's not a dream, why is it not a dream, why is it not a dream?"

"The person is now in a clean room. What do you think we should do? We should go back as well. Your sister is still waiting for you." Fang Jingxiu said.

"Why? Why don't you let me kill those beasts? Why don't you let me avenge Li Qiu?!" Ye Ziyu roared.

"Calm down first. Now is not the right time. I will help Li Qiu get revenge later."

Ye Ziyu didn't say anything else and wanted to get up to see Li Qiu.

Mo Qing helped Ye Ziyu to the room where Li Qiu was. As soon as she entered the room, Ye Ziyu couldn't stop crying. The lively and lovely girl had now turned into a cold corpse lying on the ground.

Ye Ziyu approached and found that Mo Qing had helped Liqiu change into clean clothes and also helped Liqiu wipe herself clean. Because she had wiped herself clean, there were obvious slap marks on Liqiu's red and swollen face, and there were traces of being tied up with ropes on her wrists from struggling, but Liqiu had a smile on her face.

"Miss, Li Qiu should have no regrets when she left, because she met you."

"How could she not have regrets? She still had so many delicious foods to eat, so many lantern festivals to visit, and..." Ye Ziyu choked up, "How could she not have regrets?"

"Mo Qing, if I had come to rescue Li Qiu earlier, would there still be a chance to save her? Or should I not have agreed to let Li Qiu go to the stream to fetch water by herself? Without my consent, she would not have gone by herself and would not have encountered such a thing."

"Miss, this has nothing to do with you. This is the beast's problem. It's their fault."

"It's a pity that I only helped Liqiu to get revenge." Ye Ziyu touched Liqiu's cheek, "Liqiu, I will take you home." Ye Ziyu took off the safety lock from Liqiu's neck.

According to Liqiu, he has been carrying the safety lock with him since he was a child.

"Can we build a platform to cremate Li Qiu? I want to take her back." Ye Ziyu went to find Fang Jingxiu.

Fang Jingxiu nodded, and Mo Liang began to direct people to set up the stage.

Ye Ziyu smiled with tears in her eyes as she watched Li Qiu being cremated, "Li Qiu, you must be reborn into a good family in your next life and live a happy life."

After the cremation, Ye Ziyu stepped forward and swept the ashes into a small cloth bag. Liqiu's safety lock was also put into the cloth bag. The small cloth bag was embroidered by Liqiu when she accompanied Ye Ziyu to practice women's work. At that time, Ye Ziyu asked Liqiu and Lixia to embroider one for her, and she also embroidered something for both of them.

After the cloth bag was packed, Ye Ziyu hung it back on her body and said, "Let's go."

Mo Liang was surprised that Ye Ziyu would carry the bag containing Li Qiu's ashes with her. Not to mention whether it was auspicious or not to carry the ashes on one's body, the main thing was that she was a maid.

Mo Liang, along with two guards, went to the main force last night and rode back on three horses.

Fang Jingxiu and Qin Luoheng each got on a horse. "Miss Ye San, why don't you get on the horse and let Mo Qing lead the horse?" Qin Luoheng said as he looked at Ye Ziyu standing in front of the horse.

"Mo Qing, take me with you for a ride. We have already wasted a day. Let's not waste time anymore." Ye Ziyu looked at Mo Qing.

Mo Qing looked at Fang Jingxiu, and when he saw Fang Jingxiu nodded, he also nodded.

Ye Ziyu: ...This guard is really obedient

Mo Qing first helped Ye Ziyu get on the horse, then jumped on.

"Don't be in a hurry, you can ride slower." Fang Jingxiu said to Mo Qing.

"Yes."

Ye Ziyu was still confused as to why she had to ride slower. She specifically asked Mo Qing to ride with her because she wanted to ride faster.

"They're back, Young Master Qin and the others are back." Xiaoxue saw Qin Luoheng and Fang Jingxiu at the window.

Hearing this, Ye Qingyin stood up and looked downstairs. "Why can't I see Ayu?" Ye Qingyin's heart skipped a beat. "Could something have happened to Ayu?"

"Miss, don't think too much. The Third Miss is blessed with a good life, and nothing will happen to her. She might just be following behind with Li Qiu. Maybe the Third Miss is afraid that you will worry, so she let Young Master Qin and the others come back first." Xiaoxue said.

"Yes, that might be the case. Ayu doesn't want me to worry. Let's go down and take a look."

Fang Jingxiu and Qin Luoheng dismounted and handed the reins to the waiter. Just as they were about to enter the inn, they saw Ye Qingyin coming out of the inn.

"Young Marquis, Master Qin." Ye Qingyin bowed, "Excuse me, why didn't my sister Ayu come back with us?"

"Miss Ye San is behind and will be here soon." Qin Luoheng replied.

Ye Qingyin breathed a sigh of relief, "Ayu is not injured, right?"

"Don't worry, Miss Ye."

Ye Qingyin stepped aside, "Young Marquis and Young Master Qin, please go up and have a rest."

Qin Luoheng and Fang Jingxiu nodded, bowed and went upstairs, while Ye Qingyin was waiting for Ye Ziyu outside the inn.

"Miss, why don't we go back to the inn and wait?" Xiaoxue saw Ye Qingyin standing there.

"Ayu can't ride a horse. They won't let Ayu walk back, right? Otherwise, why hasn't Ayu arrived yet after so long?" Ye Qingyin said worriedly.

"...Miss, the two gentlemen will not let the third lady walk back by herself." Xiaoxue couldn't help but admire Ye Qingyin for being so bold.

Ye Qingyin anxiously looked in the direction where Fang Jingxiu and the others had just come from, "Miss, look, that seems to be the Third Miss."

Ye Qingyin looked over and saw two people riding horses coming towards them. "It's Ayu. Who is the girl behind?"

When Ye Ziyu arrived at the door of the inn, she saw Ye Qingyin and Xiaoxue. After getting off the carriage, Mo Qing took the horse away.

"Sister."

"Who is this?" Ye Qingyin looked at Mo Qing who was leaving.

"She is the young marquis's guard. I don't know how to ride a horse, so I let her take me with me." Ye Ziyu explained.

"The young marquis and his men have already arrived, why are you so late?"

Ye Ziyu: ...Luckily Mo Qing rode slowly. If he had ridden faster, I probably wouldn’t be able to walk properly now.

"This is my first time riding, so Mo Qing rode a little slower. Why is Sister here?"

"I saw that you hadn't come back for a long time, and I was worried about you, so I waited for you here." Ye Qingyin looked back and asked carefully, "Where's Li Qiu?"

"Sister, let's go up first." Ye Ziyu's eyes were red.

Seeing Ye Ziyu like this, Ye Qingyin guessed that something must have happened to Liqiu. "Well, you guys didn't get a good rest all night. I'll ask Xiaoxue to get some water for you to take a good bath."

Ye Qingyin took Ye Ziyu back to her room, told Xiaoxue to ask the kitchen to boil two buckets of water, and then took Ye Ziyu to sit down.

Ye Ziyu took out the small cloth bag containing Li Qiu's ashes and placed it on the table.

"This is?"

"Li Qiu, she..." Ye Ziyu began to cry, "Those people are beasts. No, they are even worse than beasts, sister."

Seeing Ye Ziyu crying so sadly, Ye Qingyin's eyes turned red. She hugged Ye Ziyu and patted her back gently. She wanted to comfort Ye Ziyu, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.

"Sister, I really regret it. I regret agreeing to let her go to the stream to fetch water by herself. I regret not looking for her as soon as I found out she was missing. If I had found her earlier, at least Li Qiu's life could have been saved."

"Silly boy, no one expected this to happen, and no one wanted it to happen, but..." Ye Qingyin wanted to say that since it had happened, we could only accept it and avoid it in the future, but seeing Ye Ziyu crying like this, Ye Qingyin couldn't say it.

Ye Ziyu cried for a long time, and then she fell asleep when she was tired. Ye Qingyin and Xiaoxue put Ye Ziyu on the bed together. Ye Qingyin covered Ye Ziyu with the quilt and touched her face. "It's only been less than two days, but you can see with the naked eye that your condition has deteriorated a lot."

"Miss, Liqiu really..." Xiaoxue also heard about Liqiu. Although she and Liqiu were not as close as Lixia and Liqiu, she still felt happy after hearing the news...

Ye Qingyin patted Xiaoxue's hand and said, "Let's go check on Lixia. I think that girl is also feeling very uncomfortable."

Xiaoxue went to find Lixia as ordered. After hearing the news, Lixia buried her head in the quilt and cried.

Xiaoxue walked over and pulled the quilt off. Lixia saw that Xiaoxue's sobbing had turned into crying loudly. Xiaoxue sat beside Lixia and accompanied her silently.
