When the few people walked into the hall, the Southern Emperor personally greeted them in the hall. The Crown Prince stepped forward to salute, and the Southern Emperor stood up and walked down to help him up. Then he walked straight to the Crown Princess, skipped the Crown Princess's salute, and hugged Baoer, with a smile on his face.

The Southern Emperor exempted everyone in the hall from all formalities. At this moment, he just wanted to take a good look at his beloved grandson.

"Great! Great! My grandson! Look at those big eyes! They look so much like me!"

The family atmosphere among the four members was very harmonious and no one could bear to disturb them.

Ye Chenshang stood there, inevitably feeling a little lost. Seeing that Emperor Nan had no time to care about him and with Commander Shen here to report the assassination, he took Xiang Liu and walked out of the hall first.

Xiang Liu knew that he was different, so she stretched out her long arm to embrace Ye Chenshang, "They have their home, and we have our home."

Ye Chenshang's gloomy mood was swept away, "Well! After everything is settled, we will go back to Anluo Mountain and rebuild the bamboo house."

Xiang Liu: "Okay."

Outside the palace gate, Kongshan was waiting for the two men in a carriage. The two got in the carriage, and the three of them returned to the palace together.

After returning to the palace, Kongshan directed the guards to move the luggage at the door into the palace. Xiangliu and the others rested for a while in the palace and then went to No. 1.

Everyone gathered together, No. 1 Shop closed its doors, and gathered in Xiangliu's room on the top floor of No. 1 Shop.

Yunchuan never returned to the North and stayed in the No. 1 room to accompany Xu Ying.

Xiaoqiao Liushui, Wuhualing and their team had returned to the capital long ago. They found seats and sat in a row, and the three of them took turns reporting the clues of the second team.

Time goes back to... the time in Congress. After receiving the order, the three of them set out and returned to the old house of the Wu family according to Wu Hualing's memory.

A new house was built on the deserted land. It looked nothing like the original one and had nothing in common with what she remembered. Wu Hualing felt a little sad.

The three of them initially planned to find a hotel nearby to stay in, observe for a few days, and see if they could recall some of their former neighbors or acquaintances by revisiting Wuhualing. They would then enter their dreams from their memories and select the nodes in their dreams that included the head of the Wu family and Aunt Li year by year.

The two of them stood at the window, looking at the passers-by on the street, and saw many memories.

[The three members of the dancing family travel happily hand in hand]

At that time, Wu Hualing was still young, and Aunt Li had not come to the Wu family yet.

[Mother took Wu Hualing to the street to buy toys alone]

[The head of the Wu family brings Aunt Li into the Wu family’s main gate]

The woman was very beautiful, and many people came to her door to join in the fun.

The people who went out next were the head of the family and Aunt Li.

Afterwards, the mother took Wu Hualing and ran away with their luggage. Not long after they left, Aunt Li hurried out to stop them, but she was a step too late.

[Aunt Li and the master of the house quarrel at the gate of the mansion]

Aunt Li scolded him for making Wu Hualing's mother angry and leaving because of her.

It took many days for Aunt Li to reconcile with the master of the house, and the two of them went out shopping.

It was also on this night that the neighbors heard sounds of fighting and screaming. After dawn, they found many people gathered in front of the Wu mansion and the entire Wu family had been wiped out.

The above are fragmentary clues pieced together by Xiaoqiaoliushui based on the memories of several neighbors and extracted according to time.

I still remember the first few Wu Hualings, but Aunt Li came to stop my mother? And quarreled with my father?

Xiaoqiao: "It seems that she is blaming the head of the family for quarreling with your mother and making her leave. She doesn't seem to want to destroy the relationship between your parents?"

Liushui: "What kind of person is Aunt Li usually like?"

"Hmm..." Wu Hualing thought for only a moment, "She is very friendly and respectful to my mother."

They originally thought that Aunt Li played a bad character in the story, but from the memories in the dream, it was the master of the house who was unable to make up his mind and favored his concubine over his wife, and abandoned his young wife.

Wu Hualing: "Indeed, my father relied on his supernatural powers and popularity to be very philandering, thinking that no one could restrain him. Before Aunt Li came, he often had new lovers."

Perhaps it was due to divine power that he attracted the favor of the audience, but they praised him too much, causing him to lose control of himself and become more and more unrestrained.

Xiaoqiao: "Your mother's previous husbands didn't care?"

Wu Hualing: "Yes. I don't know why Aunt Li is very special. For her, my mother rarely quarrels with my father."

Xiaoqiao: "So why is that?"

Liushui: "Is it because your father is really in love with you?"

"He's been sincere to almost every one of them." Wu Hualing blurted out the complaint and shook his head in frustration, "Not like that. My mother is never jealous."

Xiaoqiao: "Then there must be another reason! We need to investigate further!"

Several people searched along the street, changing one or two stalls every day, and sitting there for the whole day, relying on the small bridge and flowing water to enter their dreams to identify where Aunt Li and the master of the family went the day before the family was murdered, or to find the places they often went to, and then enter their dreams to search for their memories.

But the number of people was too large, and Xiaoqiao Liushui and the others had a hard time. They didn't eat or sleep enough every day, and their energy consumption was too great. Fortunately, they fell into the dream together, and the pressure was shared in half.

Two people do not need each other to be asleep when they dream. They only need to know the person's name or be within sight of that person to fall asleep.

Wu Hualing sat behind the two of them, letting them lean on her back to support them, which was also more comfortable. She was not idle either, racking her brains to think of her childhood memories, and the three of them worked together.

Finally, Wu Hualing remembered that when the master and other members of the Wu family went on stage to perform, some exquisite decorations such as accessories would be customized in a jewelry store, so he thought of bringing Xiaoqiao Liushui to try his luck.

The entrance of the jewelry store happened to coincide with the place where Aunt Li and the master of the house often went, as depicted in the dream of a small bridge and flowing water.

The shopkeeper was an old man with a white beard, and he had been looking at Wu Hualing since she entered the door.

In order to attract his attention and help Xiaoqiao Liushui sleep better, Wu Hualing walked to the counter and picked out jewelry. Xiaoqiao Liushui pretended to be her sisters and sat on a chair in the corner, waiting obediently.

Wu Hualing: "Boss, can you show me this? Can I try it on?"

She pointed to a box containing bracelets.

The boss kept looking at her, "Sir, you... look familiar..."

"Me?" Wu Hualing was puzzled. "I just arrived here today, how could I have seen you before~"

Wu Hualing didn't believe it and felt he was joking.

The boss looked at her seriously, "What's your name?"

Wu Hualing still had a smile on his face, but with a hint of caution. "This, won't prevent me from buying jewelry, right?"

The boss seemed unwilling to give up. "Is your last name... Wu?"

Wu Hualing was very calm, "No."

The boss's expression changed from hope to regret. "That's because I remembered it wrong. Before us, there was a dancing family. The head of the family looked a lot like you."

Wu Hualing calmed himself down and asked tentatively, "Really? There was one before? Where did it move to now?"

“Alas…” The boss shook his head and took out the bracelet that Wu Hualing had taken a fancy to, and said with sadness and regret, “It’s gone… He was killed by his enemy!”
