Lin Yuejiao paused and looked back at Su Jianchuan, "Uncle Su, is there something wrong?"

Su Jianchuan took a few steps forward and said earnestly, "Jiaojiao, your mother has always been upset and feels guilty about you. Now that she is sick, you are the one she can't let go of the most. In the future, if you have time, can you go to the countryside to see her? If you can go see her, she will definitely be very happy."

Su Jianchuan knew his wife very well and knew that she hoped Lin Yuejiao could visit her in the countryside, but he didn't say it out loud for fear of making Lin Yuejiao unhappy.

But because of his wife's illness, he had no choice but to ask this shamelessly.

It was not a difficult thing for her to just visit Li Xiuqin, so she agreed, said a few words to Su Jianchuan and went home.

She took a taxi home, and the system told her that Lin Wenyuan's family and the debt collectors were waiting for her at the gate of the community. They had asked the debt collectors to come and ask her for money.

Looking at the tall buildings speeding past outside the car window, Lin Yuejiao curled the corners of her mouth into a sneer and communicated with Tongzi through her thoughts.

"Since they came to us, let's deal with them together. Report the evidence of those people's illegal gambling and Lin Tianjun's gambling to the police station."

[Okay, host, don't worry, no one can escape. ]

Lin Yuejiao didn't need to report it personally, Tongzi handled the matter properly. She didn't ask much about how Tongzi did it, as long as the result was what she wanted.

The Lin family was unaware of the impending disaster, and they were waiting for Lin Yuejiao at the gate of the community together with the debt collectors. As no one showed up, the debt collectors became a little impatient.

"When will your daughter come back? Could it be that she knew we were here to collect the debt and hid herself? I'm telling you, if I don't get the money today, I'll chop off your son's hands."

The man who was speaking had a fierce look on his face, and several of his younger brothers surrounded the Lin family to prevent them from running away.

The family acted rude and arrogant when facing Lin Yuejiao, but were servile and submissive when facing the group of debt collectors.

Especially Lin Tianjun, who was scared by their beating and hid behind Cui Lizhen without daring to vent his anger.

"Brother Chao, don't worry, you will definitely get the money today. The girl doesn't know you are here, she will definitely come back, just wait a little longer."

Lin Wenyuan had a flattering look on his face. The man he called Brother Chao was only in his early thirties, but he, a man in his forties, was as humble as a grandson in front of him.

“Don’t blame me for not reminding you. If you can’t get the money today, be careful of your son’s hands!”

The man threatened again viciously and glared at Lin Tianjun. Lin Tianjun was scared like a turtle.

Seeing his son's cowardly look, Lin Wenyuan was angry but dared not say much. He could only nod and bow to please the man.

The family was hoping that Lin Yuejiao would come back soon to pay off their debts. However, instead of waiting for Lin Yuejiao, several police cars arrived.

Afterwards, all the Lin family members and the debt collectors were taken away.

The Lin family was still shouting about why they were arrested and refused to cooperate with Uncle Hat to go back to the police station for investigation. Finally, Uncle Hat produced evidence of Lin Tianjun's illegal gambling, and the family finally behaved.

Lin Yuejiao hid near the residential area and watched Lin Wenyuan and the others being taken away before returning home.

The house was a mess because of that family, so she called a housekeeping company to clean it. Looking at the small three-bedroom apartment, she planned to look at a villa another day and change houses.

Although she is alone, she loves living in a big house.

After buying a villa, you can build a small garden, grow vegetables and live the life of your dreams.

…………

Before going to bed at night, Lin Yuejiao habitually turned on the projector to see Xu Xiyue.

Seeing that Xu Xiyue was safe and sound, he switched to Chu Qingyue to see how he was doing.

However, when Chu Qingyue saw the screen, it went black.

"System, what's going on? Is the projection function broken?"

[The projection function is normal, but Chu Qingyue is blocked. The host can no longer see him or travel through time to find him.]

"Why? Are you afraid that I will help him too much and interfere with the development trajectory of the ancient world?" Lin Yuejiao looked unhappy.

Tongzi's silence was tantamount to his agreement.

Lin Yuejiao said angrily: "You want me to stop him from turning evil, but you can't let me help him. What kind of crappy task is this? You want both. Don't be too much."

[Host, this is the mission rule, Tongzi can't do anything about it. If you break the rule, you will be struck by lightning. Tongzi is doing this for the host's own good.]

"What a stupid rule! Which idiot made this..."

She just complained casually, and the next second, a small dark cloud magically appeared above her head, and thunder rumbled in the sky as if it was going to strike her. She was so scared that she quickly apologized, and the dark cloud and thunder dispersed.

Lin Yuejiao breathed a sigh of relief. Since she couldn't contact Chu Qingyue, she had to give up.

Lying on the bed, looking at the jade pendant given by Chu Qingyue, I silently prayed for his safety.

At the same time in ancient Bianzhou, the ancestral home of the Chu family.

Chu Qingyue's mother, Yang, burned incense to her ancestors in the ancestral hall, praying for their blessing and help for her son to return safely from the battle.

Just as I inserted the incense into the incense burner, there was a sudden bang, and the ancestral tablet in the middle fell over, followed by the other tablets.

"Why did the ancestral tablet... fall over?" Yang's face changed drastically, and she felt panicky for no reason.

The nanny beside her also looked unhappy, "Madam, is this a warning from our ancestors?"

"What I pray for is Qingyue's safety. Could it be that Qingyue..." Yang's face turned pale instantly. She didn't dare to think about it. She panicked and her legs went limp, and she almost fell down.

The nanny quickly supported her and said, "Don't worry, Madam. Maybe... it was just an accident. The wind was strong these past two nights. Maybe the ancestral tablet was blown down by the wind."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of night wind suddenly blew into the house. The candlelight in the ancestral hall flickered in the wind, and even the windows creaked in the wind, which seemed to confirm what the nanny said.

"No, this must be a warning from my ancestors..."

Yang pressed her chest, the feeling of panic becoming more intense, and even sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Quickly fetch some pen and ink. I want to write a letter to the Marquis, asking him to send someone to the border to inquire about Qingyue's news..."

Otherwise she won't feel at ease.

Seeing that the lady was nervous, the nanny hurried to get pen and ink. Yang wrote a letter and gave it to a guard, asking the guard to deliver it to the imperial city overnight.

Afterwards, she put the ancestral tablets back in place and Yang knelt in the ancestral hall to pray for her son and the Chu family.

…………

Since Concubine Shen was demoted and confined to her home, Xu Xiyue spent three months in peace and no one bothered her.

On the surface, everything in the harem is calm, but secretly everyone is vying for favor. Some concubines even follow Xu Xiyue's example and dance at Taiye Lake in an attempt to attract the emperor's attention.

However, the emperor had not been to Taiye Lake in these three months, and even had very little time to visit Xu Xiyue.

On this day, Concubine Shu was sewing clothes for the child with Xu Xiyue in Changle Palace, and she inadvertently mentioned the reason why the emperor rarely came to the harem recently.

"Sister, I heard from Luoluo that you have been in a bad mood recently and your appetite has decreased a lot. Is it because the emperor didn't come to see you?"

Xu Xiyue was sewing a small piece of clothing for the child. When she heard this, she wanted to say no. Concubine Shu sighed.

"Don't take it personally. The emperor is currently troubled by the affairs of the Yongyi Marquis's residence. He rarely even comes to visit the harem and basically stays in the Xuanzheng Palace."

"What happened in the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion?" Xu Xiyue looked puzzled.

Lin Yuejiao had just arrived here and was stunned when she heard the conversation between the two. Suddenly, she had a bad premonition in her heart.

Did something happen to the Chu family?
