Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

The next day, everyone started to get busy again.

Liuli and her friends first came to the home of the mother of the butcher's stall owner. When they arrived at the village, the old woman was leaning on a cane and giving candies to other children in the village. When she saw Liuli and her friends standing at the entrance of the village looking at her, she let the children go play.

After the children left, Liuli and the others walked forward.

"You are friends of the young master from yesterday, right?"

Before they could speak, the old woman spoke first. Liuli saw that the old woman had no hostility towards them, so she nodded.

"I want to ask a question first."

"Mother-in-law, you say."

Liuli replied politely.

"Did my son not die ten years ago? Is he still alive?"

Liuli hesitated after hearing this. His son was indeed alive ten years ago, but now...

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the mother-in-law added.

"So he's dead now?"

After saying this, the mother-in-law shook her head.

"It's better to die. I've gotten used to it after so many years."

After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she walked forward with her cane, and Liuli and the others followed beside her.

"How did mother-in-law know?"

Prince Yun probably wouldn't tell his mother-in-law directly.

"Yesterday, the young man came to me and asked me about some things that happened to my son. It has been such a long time, how can an old woman like me remember them all?

I asked him why he had been asking about something that took so long, and he said it was related to the serial murder case some time ago. I didn't think much about it at first, but then I suddenly remembered that after my son "died" ten years ago, a kind-hearted person had been sending me some money every month.

But I never saw him. Every time he knocked on my door when I was at home, but when I rushed to the door, he had disappeared. After the incident, that person never came again. "

As they were talking, several people came to a small house under the guidance of the mother-in-law.

"We're here. This is my home. We've lived here for ten years."

The mother-in-law opened the door and invited them in. Liuli and the others thanked her and followed her into the house.

The house is not big, but everything is neatly arranged. From the items placed in the house, it can be seen that only the mother-in-law lives in this house. After the mother-in-law showed a few people around the house, she returned to the yard. When she was walking, she almost slipped and twisted her waist. Fortunately, Yunyou reacted quickly and caught the mother-in-law.

"It's almost noon now. You can stay here and have a meal. It's been years since anyone has eaten with me."

"Okay, let us help you then."

So the three of them helped the mother-in-law wash vegetables, cook rice, and cook. It was obvious that only Liuli could cook a little bit of food. Zhenluo and Yunyou looked clumsy and had to rely on the guidance of the mother-in-law. Fortunately, the two were not really stupid, and lunch was ready in a short while. The four of them sat around the table, ready to taste the fruits of their labor.

"Girl, if it's convenient, could you tell me, an old woman, how my son has been doing in the past ten years?"

Liuli and the other two looked at each other, not knowing how to start. Mother-in-law seemed to see their dilemma and asked a different question.

"Did he marry or have children?"

"Well, he has a capable wife and a lovely son."

Liuli only knew that he had a wife and children, but she didn't know whether he was capable or cute. However, it was good enough to make the old man happy.

"That's good, that's good! It means he has lived a good life in the past ten years."

There was silence for a while, and the four of them started eating in silence.

After the meal, Liuli and the other two helped the mother-in-law clean up the dishes and prepared to leave. Because they had already checked the house and found that there was no one else's belongings, the mother-in-law herself said that she had already burned her son's belongings.

When the three were about to leave, the mother-in-law suddenly called them.

"Although I can't remember the past, I know that my son's favorite place to go was Wangque Tower. He and his friends often drank and chatted there. He said that they were all friends in the palace and would help him get promoted and make money in the future. I really don't know anything more."

"Thank you, mother-in-law. We'll leave first and come to see you another day."

The mother-in-law waved her hand and signaled them to go. At her age, she didn't care whether anyone missed her or not.

After the three people left, Zhen Luo still felt bad.

"So this is what life is like for elderly people living alone. It looks miserable. Just now, when the old lady was about to fall, if there was no one around, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Why? Thinking about your old age?"

Liuli joked.

"I was thinking of my grandmother. After my grandfather passed away a few years ago, she suddenly said she wanted to move back to the old house because she couldn't get used to living in the capital. But I heard from my father that no one has lived in the old house for many years. In the past two years, my father has been busy handling cases and has not taken us back to the old house to see my grandmother. We just wrote letters to each other to let each other know that we were safe. I guess my grandmother must be very lonely in the old house."

"Then next New Year, we can go visit your grandmother together~"

"Really? That's great!"

Zhen Luo smiled, unlike her usual fierce look, now she was like a little girl. But it was only two seconds, she realized something.

"Hmm! But it doesn't seem to work. If only you and I go back, grandma will definitely misunderstand!"

"What's the misunderstanding?"

Liuli didn't react.

"You misunderstood us!"

Huh? Liuli was stunned. Yunyou, who was standing by, saw that she hadn't reacted yet and reminded her.

"She doesn't know your identity yet."

Ah! Liuli finally realized. In their small group, some people knew and some didn't, and she couldn't tell them apart.

"Identity? What identity?"

Zhen Luo poked his head out curiously.

"What are you hiding from me?"

"Nothing, it's just...actually, I'm a woman."

Liuli said it directly. Zhen Luo was stunned for a moment, then had an expression of "this is how it should be" and crossed his arms over his chest.

"I was wondering why you looked like a gigolo. Turns out you're a woman. Not bad, not bad. That makes sense."

Zhen Luo nodded in satisfaction as he spoke. Liuli smiled bitterly. It turned out that Zhen Luo had always thought of her as a gigolo. But what she didn't know was that Chu Yao even thought that she and Prince Qing were gay.

"Do they all know? It looks like King Yun knows."

"Prince Qing knows, but Chu Yao doesn't."

"Chu Yao doesn't know? Who knows what he would think~"

After hearing this, Yunyou shrugged her shoulders to show her agreement.

The three of them were talking and laughing as they prepared to meet the fish stall owner's ex-wife, and they were still chatting about the old woman on the way.

"Do you think we should let the old lady meet her daughter-in-law and grandson?"

"No, even though he is his grandson, his daughter-in-law may not want to have another mother-in-law. Rather than making it awkward when they meet, it is better not to let them meet."

"Uh, okay."
