Jiang Yutong drove a horse-drawn carriage and arrived earlier than the ox-drawn carriage. She first stored the carriage and went to Jingshui Tower. She hadn't seen Yu Xueyi and his sister for a long time, so she wanted to see if she could ask for some leave to take them out for a walk.

Jiang Yutong entered Jingshui Building from the back door of the kitchen. As soon as she entered the alley, she saw Huanhuan squatting on the ground washing dishes. Although she was a small person, she worked very skillfully. There was an apprentice who was older than her next to her who occasionally splashed water on her face mischievously, but Huanhuan didn't get angry. She wiped it off and continued to work.

At this moment, Yu Xueyi came out and said, "Don't bully my sister, or I'll beat you up."

The apprentice stuck out his tongue and ran away.

Yu Xueyi nodded Huanhuan's head and said, "You are stupid. You don't know how to resist when others bully you."

Huanhuan smiled and said, "Brother, we finally have a place to stay. I don't want to cause trouble, and this can't be considered bullying. Besides, don't we still have you?"

Yu Xueyi understood his sister's thoughts and could only say helplessly, "You, you, don't do this next time."

"I know, brother."

Jiang Yutong stood there and watched for a while, feeling inexplicably sad.

She composed herself and called out loudly, "Xueyi, Huanhuan."

The brother and sister raised their heads and looked at her together, with smiles on their faces, "Sister Yutong."

Two people ran towards her at the same time.

Jiang Yutong patted the two people's heads and asked, "Are you all okay here?"

They both nodded, "Everything is fine."

Huanhuan even held Jiang Yutong's hand affectionately, "Sister, I miss you so much."

Jiang Yutong lowered his head and glanced at Huanhuan's hand. "Your hand?"

Huanhuan quickly pulled her hand back, "It's okay, sister, it will be fine after a while."

At such a young age, his hands were already covered in cracks. Jiang Yutong felt a little distressed. He should have been enjoying the company of his children, but he had to shoulder the burden of life so early. "Does it hurt?"

Huanhuan shook her head, "It doesn't hurt."

Huanhuan is young and can't do other work. He basically just does some chores like sweeping, washing dishes and vegetables. His hands have cracked from being soaked in water for a long time.

"Sister will buy you some grease later."

At this time, everyone in the kitchen knew that Jiang Yutong had arrived, and those who were free came over and said, "Yutong, you haven't been here for a long time. Do you have any new recipes?"

Shopkeeper Liu also came out, "Yutong, come in and sit for a while."

Jiang Yutong had other things to do. "Manager Liu, I won't go in. I want to ask if I can give the two children half a day off so I can take them out for a walk."

Shopkeeper Liu was also very straightforward, "No problem, go ahead."

Jiang Yutong thanked Manager Liu and left with the brother and sister.

Jiang Yutong first took them to buy hand grease, "Remember to apply it every morning and evening."

Huanhuan nodded, "I know, sister."

Yu Xueyi rushed to pay, "Sister, we have money."

How could Jiang Yutong let the two children pay? "You keep your money. This is a gift from your sister."

In the end, Yu Xueyi couldn't convince Jiang Yutong.

Jiang Yutong asked the brother and sister in detail about their lives, "Are you used to it over there?"

"I'm used to it. Everyone is very nice to us."

Jiang Yutong was relieved and thought about writing another prescription for Manager Liu.

At this moment, a voice was heard, "Catch the thief, catch the thief."

Two little girls were chasing a man. The man ran past Jiang Yutong. Jiang Yutong took two steps and pinned the man under her.

Soon, the two girls ran over breathlessly and kicked the thief on the ground hard, saying, "You stole something and it hit me."

Then he squatted down and took the purse from the thief's hand.

The thief on the ground held his head and begged for mercy, "Please forgive me, I will never do it again. I have a 70-year-old mother and a 3-year-old child. I had no choice but to do this."

Jiang Yutong asked the two girls, "Do we need to report this to the police?"

The little girl said to another girl who was obviously a maid, "Xiao Zhu, go report to the police."

The little girl then thanked Jiang Yutong, "Thank you for your chivalrous deeds and your great skills. I am Du Xiaoyao."

Jiang Yutong still had one foot on the thief's back. "You're welcome. I'm Jiang Yutong."

Du Xiaoyao suddenly grabbed Jiang Yutong's hand and jumped up, her tone surprised. "You are Jiang Yutong? The Jiang Yutong from Ning Zhengqing's early days?"

Jiang Yutong looked Du Xiaoyao up and down, confirming that he didn't know her. "Do you know me?"

At this moment, the constable arrived and Jiang Yutong handed the thief over to the constable.

The constable said to Du Xiaoyao respectfully, "Miss Du, I'm sorry to have frightened you. I still need you to go to the government office."

Du Xiaoyao shook her head. "Such a small matter requires me to come here in person. Please handle it as you see fit. Don't delay my important work."

The constable couldn't say anything and took the thief away.

Yu Xueyi looked at all this inexplicably familiarity and remembered how he first met Sister Yutong. Fortunately, he met Sister Yutong, otherwise he would have ended up like this today.

Du Xiaoyao was very familiar with everyone and took Jiang Yutong's arm. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I have heard about your deeds for a long time, but unfortunately I never had the chance to meet you. I didn't expect to meet you on an occasion like today. This is also fate."

Jiang Yutong was confused.

Du Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Come on, I'll invite you to the teahouse for some tea to thank you for your help, and then I'll slowly explain it to you in detail."

Before Jiang Yutong could agree, Du Xiaoyao pulled Jiang Yutong away.

Jiang Yutong actually liked Du Xiaoyao's personality, and said to Yu Xueyi and his sister behind him, "Xueyi, Huanhuan, you guys follow too."

Du Xiaoyao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, you guys come too."

When they arrived at the teahouse, Du Xiaoyao ordered a pot of tea and some snacks and went into the best private room.

Just now, taking advantage of the gap, Yu Xueyi had quietly told Jiang Yutong about Du Xiaoyao's identity.

"Du Xiaoyao is the daughter of Mr. Du, a prominent family in Yinbai County."

Jiang Yutong sometimes had to admire Yu Xueyi, as if he was particularly clear about the relationships between these people.

Du Xiaoyao pulled Jiang Yutong to sit down, "Aren't you curious about how I know you? You know Ye Xiujun, right?"

Jiang Yutong nodded.

Du Xiaoyao said indignantly, "What I hate most is Ye Xiujun's hypocritical behavior. Last time I heard that you made her lose face in public, I wanted to find an opportunity to meet you. What I love most in my life is to see Ye Xiujun get humiliated."

Jiang Yutong finally understood what Du Xiaoyao said: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

"Have you ever learned martial arts? You are very skilled."

Jiang Yutong said modestly, "I know a little bit."

The two of them had quite a lot to talk about. Finally, Du Xiaoyao concluded, "I don't know why Ning Zhengqing abandoned you and chose Ye Xiujun, a fool. He's really blind."

Jiang Yutong just smiled and said, "I'm actually grateful for his blindness. Otherwise, how could I be so free?"

Du Xiaoyao clapped her hands and laughed, "Well said, I'm determined to be your friend."

Jiang Yutong drank a pot of tea before saying goodbye to Du Xiaoyao, "I have something else to do. I'll visit Miss Du again next time I have the chance."

"Don't be so polite with me. From now on, just call me Xiaoyao. Can I call you Yutong?"

"of course."

"So, Yutong, what are you going to do? I'm free, so why don't I go with you?"

Jiang Yutong looked at Du Xiaoyao, who didn't treat her as an outsider at all, and had no choice but to take her to the grain store and then to Cao's.
