Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

"Miss Li, wait a minute!"

Seeing that Li Huoyue was about to leave, Sang Fuqing blurted out what he heard reflexively.

He didn't even know what he wanted people to stop for.

He just wanted to say this, he just wanted to see Li Huoyue more.

Li Huoyue stopped and questioned Sang Fuqing with his eyes.

"I……"

“Hey!!! You dare to come?!!!” The sister-in-law spoke before Sang Fuqing, and rushed over much faster than Sang Fuqing.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, she was already standing in front of Li Huoyue, spreading her arms, pushing Sang Fuqing and Xu Jiaoer in front of her, and said angrily:

"It seems like you guys still haven't learned your lesson from that day! You still dare to come here to bully us! You think that the people in our Li Mansion are just eating for free!"

The two people who were pushed fell to the ground, groaned, and didn't react.

Li Huoyue was protected by his sister-in-law, who turned back to comfort him, "Huohuo, we are not afraid of them. Can we let outsiders bully us in the Li Mansion?!"

Li Huoyue, who was originally in a somewhat depressed mood, suddenly laughed softly and gently, staring at Sang Fuqing who was fumbling to help Xu Jiaoer up.

He had seen such a smile in his dreams.

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine." Li Huoyue held her sister-in-law's hand, fearing that she would be unhappy again and slap the two men.

The eldest sister-in-law touched Li Huoyue's forehead and asked, "Did they hit you on the head? Why are you so stupid?"

Li Huoyue: “…”

"Why did you suddenly push us?!" Xu Jiaoer stood up, indignant.

The eldest sister-in-law sighed, turned around, looked at the two of them holding each other's hands, and became so angry that she wanted to go up and hit them twice.

He wanted to take action, but found that Li Huoyue had grabbed his hand again.

"Huo Huo, don't be so polite! These two bastards dare to come here to bully people, it's simply..."

Li Huoyue covered his sister-in-law's mouth and pulled her away.

My sister-in-law is such a good person, she shouldn’t be angry with these people.

He will get more and more excited as he talks, and I'm afraid he will not stop until he breaks a few of the other person's ribs.

Huang Ruchu also came with the sister-in-law.

Li Huoyue winked at Huang Ruochu and said, "Miss Huang, please help me see the guests off. I will take my sister-in-law to her room first."

Huang Ruochu didn't hit anyone, but he just walked up to them and started to curse them. He chased after the two men with a medicine bag and didn't return until he saw them leave with his own eyes.

Li Huoyue was talking to his eldest sister-in-law about the eldest brother's suspension. Seeing Huang Ruochu coming back, he comforted his eldest sister-in-law and called Huang Ruochu away alone on the pretext of taking Huang Ruochu to the fifth brother to ask about the specific situation of her child.

Lao Wu had already gone to help Doctor Huo run the shop, and Li Huoyue brought Huang Ruchu to his study.

This was Huang Ruochu's first time here. Seeing Li Huoyue going upstairs with an expressionless face, he dared to follow him quickly and carefree even though it made a lot of noise.

Li Huoyue had barely taken a few steps when the two of them were already walking side by side. She looked at Huang Ruochu with a hint of surprise and joy, and asked with a smile, "You're running so fast, aren't you afraid that the stairs will collapse?"

"It doesn't matter, you are up there too and will definitely save me." Huang Ruochu didn't know where he got the confidence from to say this so confidently.

Li Huoyue didn't look at her again, and walked towards the second floor seriously, jokingly saying, "How can a villain save people?"

Huang Ruochu: "...You still hold a grudge."

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the study.

As soon as he entered the door, Huang Ruochu saw the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

"Why don't you ask someone to clean it?"

Li Huoyue sat casually by the window and answered, "I can't stay here for too long today. When the cleaners come, I'm afraid I won't be here again."

"Can't we clean if we're not here?" Huang Ruochu simply took a handkerchief and started to help clean.

Li Huoyue did not stop Huang Ruchu's behavior, but just reminded him: "Be careful not to cut your hands."

"I know, I know." Huang Ruochu cleaned up the mess in a short while and placed the broken porcelain pieces on the table beside him so that he could take them away later.

Seeing that Huang Ruochu had packed up, Li Huoyue said, "Let me ask you something."

"Ah? You will have problems too?" Huang Ruochu felt it was magical. In her eyes, Li Huoyue was now a wizard who could guess everything.

Li Huoyue thought he was being played a trick, and after taking a serious look at Huang Ruchu, he discovered that Huang Ruchu really thought so.

Momentarily speechless.

"What's the problem? You actually asked me this."

Huang Ruochu looked at Li Huoyue who was leaning against the window excitedly. She was ready to answer some difficult questions. The last time Li Huoyue asked questions, she thought Li Huoyue was a villain and was too scared to answer the question. Her answer was not up to her usual level. She had to perform well today.

Thinking of this, Huang Ruochu straightened his back and sat upright in his seat, like a primary school student who was listening carefully to the class and ready to answer the teacher's questions at any time.

"When you came here, did anyone tell you that you had the option of traveling through other bodies?"

Li Huoyue herself had never encountered such a situation. Even though she had traveled through time for so many years, it was impossible for her to forget such important information.

Huang Ruochu wanted to answer that she knew, but this was the first time she had heard of this, so she could only shake her head honestly and tell the truth: "...I don't know. I've been here for so long, and no one has informed me of this. From what you said, can the time traveler choose who to travel to?"

Li Huoyue nodded, but in his mind he was thinking, is this what makes Xu Jiao'er so special? Is she relying on this to save her life?

But now we have only asked Huang Ruchu, and if we barely count Sang Baohe, there are only three people.

Limited observations cannot lead to general conclusions. Li Huoyue felt that he needed to learn more and had to go to the palace again in the afternoon. It would be best if he could ask Xue Rourou, but if not, he would go and tell his cheap aunt off.

"Oh, yes, I suddenly remembered something." Huang Ruochu said suddenly, "I remember that my husband who died early once brought home a top concubine from Chulou. The girl was actually very ordinary in appearance, not even as pretty as the concubines in our house, but she was interesting and could do many new things, such as singing, composing new lyrics, performing magic, and she seemed to be able to draw portraits. It was said that her paintings were very lifelike."

"I went to see it later, and indeed, he must have a good foundation in art, as he can sketch quickly and well."

When Li Huoyue heard it, he roughly knew who it was.

Huang Ruochu continued:

"But because of her identity, she actually doesn't get any respect. With such good skills, she was asked by my nominal husband to paint pornographic pictures. That bastard deserves to die! He deserves to die in Chu Tower!"

Li Huoyue listened for a long time but didn't hear the key points related to her question. She still had to see the second brother and wanted to go to the palace.

So he reminded Huang Ruochu and said, "You are talking about Qin Le, right? I know that this person was taken away by my father in the end, but how is this related to my problem... specifically in what aspect?"
