After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

The two finally found a dilapidated temple, which was very quiet and seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. It happened to be exactly this kind of place they were looking for. Now, a piece of tile would be the most luxurious place, not to mention that there were four walls here to block the wind.

Wan Ning walked in carefully, and suddenly found a huge black monster under the collapsed statue, rising and falling with its breathing, which was very scary. Wan Ning immediately winked at Wan Tao, asking her to prepare to escape, and she tiptoed closer.

The moment he got close, he was hit by an unpleasant smell, and then the huge creature turned over and revealed its true appearance. It was a person - a dirty, messy-haired, scarred person on his face. Wan Ning picked up a stick from the ground and poked him cautiously. The person opened his eyes impatiently and immediately sat up from the ground, grinning foolishly on his dark, stained face.

She burst into tears while laughing, stood up with difficulty, and walked towards Wan Ning. Wan Ning was afraid of meeting a mentally ill person because of this scary look, so she grabbed Wan Tao's hand and ran out.

"Sister, beautiful sister, I finally see you. Beautiful sister, please don't go!", the man cried even louder.

Wan Ning stopped immediately, turned back in disbelief, carefully looked at the man's appearance, and called out tentatively: "Douzi?"

The man cried even more excitedly, opened his arms and ran towards Wan Ning, then stopped two steps away and said aggrievedly: "My mother-in-law said it's impolite, I can't hug my pretty sister."

Seeing his miserable appearance and the dense scars on his head, Wan Ning felt very distressed and asked Douzi: "Douzi, where is grandma?"

"Grandma, grandma is missing, her cakes were snatched away, and they also beat me. I don't want to live with them. Sister Wantao, they are bad, Douzi doesn't like them, can you help me find grandma?" Douzi still didn't understand what was going on, and just blurted out all his grievances.

But when he mentioned Wan Tao, Wan Ning first comforted Douzi and asked him to sit and wait for a while, then immediately pulled Wan Tao outside and asked her what happened that day?

But Wan Tao hesitated and didn't know how to speak. She didn't want to hide anything, but when she returned to the palace, the news of Concubine Yi's death and the sudden appearance of Concubine Lan made Wan Ning unable to take care of other things and couldn't stand more stimulation. Now she knew that it was time to tell the truth, but the truth was too heavy, and it was suffocating as soon as she opened her mouth.

"What happened? Speak up?" Wan Ning was already a little overwhelmed and asked, "What happened to my mother-in-law?"

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law is dead. That day, mother-in-law had just sent Concubine Ru away, and the palace servants who had already left returned to the mass grave and found that the body was gone, so they became suspicious. They caught up with mother-in-law and tortured her. When I found her, she was only breathing her last breath."

Tears could no longer be stopped, and they continued to pour out of her eyes. A heavy sense of guilt pressed down on Wan Ning's chest, causing her to vomit. With red eyes, she asked desperately, "What about Douzi? Why is he here? The bounty given to Grandma is enough for Douzi to eat and drink for a lifetime, so why is he here!"

Wan Tao's eyes also turned red, thinking that all this was caused by herself, and said: "Before she left, my mother-in-law told me that Douzi had an uncle, and if she was gone, she asked me to hand Douzi over to him to take care of. Even if he doesn't care about Douzi's face, he will take good care of Douzi for Yinzi's sake."

"Although life won't be too good, we won't starve to death." Wan Tao repeated her mother-in-law's last words with tears in her eyes.

Later, Wan Tao buried her mother-in-law near Douzi so that her spirit in heaven could also see Douzi, but she could only see Douzi being bullied and abused. How anxious she must have been in heaven at this time!

Wan Ning clenched her fists and looked back at Douzi, who was still waiting for her mother-in-law to come back without knowing anything. Her dark little face was full of anticipation.

"Wan Tao, we have one more thing to do before leaving the city."

"I'll go wherever the lady goes."

Wan Ning pursed her lips, determined to help Douzi get back his anger. Then she remembered something and asked, "There were many of them that day, you were not injured, right?"

"No, I was lucky that Master Zijian came to my aid that day."

"Zi Jian is here too?"

"It was by chance."

Wan Ning no longer pursued what happened that day. Now she just wanted to vent her anger for Douzi, seek justice, and get back the money that belonged to her mother-in-law.

dong dong dong-

The door was knocked again, but no one came to open it. Just as Wan Ning was about to leave with Douzi, Liu Qingquan's voice suddenly came from behind: "Why are you here? Come in."

"We won't go in. You've seen this Douzi, right? He's alone now. Could you please take care of him for a few days?"

"Who is it?" Before Liu Qingquan could answer, Tang Xiaoyou opened the door. When he saw Wan Ning and the others, he immediately looked around. After confirming that no one saw them, he pulled them in and said, "Come in, everyone. It's too dangerous outside."

Then she closed the door and kept talking about the news she saw at the market today: "It's so scary. Today the streets are full of soldiers holding your portraits. They look ferocious. You can't be seen. Sister, what happened to you?"

Wan Ning smiled bitterly and looked at the figure of Xiaoyou's grandmother who was busy in the kitchen. She was still so kind and gentle.

"It's okay. If the soldiers ask, don't tell them you've seen us. I came here to ask for your help. Xiaoyou, this is Douzi. His grandmother is gone and there's no one to take care of him. I can't take him with me. Can I let him stay at your house for a few days? If it's inconvenient, can you help him find a trustworthy foster family nearby?"

After that, Wan Ning took out all the money she had on her and handed it to Xiao You, smiling awkwardly: "I came out in a hurry, so I don't have much money on me. Take these first. When this storm is over, you can go to Pan Wenxi of Pan's Cloth Shop to get the money. He still owes me some money for the goods. I'm really sorry to trouble you."

Tang Xiaoyou stared at the money in her hand in a daze, and remained silent without answering. Wan Ning was worried that she was short of money, so she looked at Wan Tao and asked, "Wan Tao, how much money do you have left?"

Wan Tao lowered her head and rummaged through the package she was carrying, and unexpectedly she took out two gold leaves. Wan Ning was stunned at first, but she didn't have time to figure out where the gold leaves came from, so she took them all and stuffed them into Tang Xiaoyou's hands.

"Sister, take it back. That's not what I meant." Tang Xiaoyou refused again and again. The noise reached her grandmother's ears in the kitchen. She walked out unsteadily with a kind smile on her face.

"Hey, where did this fat boy come from? He's chubby, but a little dirty."

Grandma's joke reminded Douzi of his own mother-in-law. He put his feet together and bowed respectfully: "Hello, Grandma."

"This fat boy is really likable. I heard what you said just now. Let him stay here for now. Xiaoyou and Qingquan have been away from home these days, so having a fat boy around can help relieve their boredom."

"Thank you, grandma." Wan Ning hurriedly thanked her.

"Miss, you're welcome." After that, grandma waved at Douzi and said with a smile, "Come on, little fatty. Come with me to the kitchen to boil some water for you to take a bath, okay?"

Douzi followed him excitedly, and Wan Ning was relieved for the time being. Before leaving, she specifically asked Liu Qingquan to take care of him in the future so that he would not be bullied. Then, regardless of the requests to stay, Wan Ning resolutely took Wan Tao away. They acted low-key, bought ropes and scissors from street vendors, and then ambushed the relative who bullied Douzi on the way home.

It was not until late at night that a drunk and staggering man appeared.
