Before we knew it, the leaves turned yellow and the ground was covered with fallen leaves.

Mingyue counted on her fingers and found that her parents had been away from home for more than three months.

The Chinese New Year is just two days away, and this will be the first year that my parents are not around.

Previously, in order to deal with the "traitor" issue, Jiang Hetang in the capital and Zhao Yunshan in Minzhou investigated and punished many people.

Xu Rongyi's father was cleared of all charges, but the person who left would never come back.

Her uncle was acquitted, and Xu Rongyi, who wanted to repay her uncle, was also taken away by her uncle's family.

Before leaving, he made an appointment with Mingyue to communicate frequently, and then he stepped into the departing carriage with a look of reluctance on his face.

There are still many Dongyi people, hiding very deeply.

Zhao Yunshan and Jiang Mengrou are still holding on in Minzhou.

Mingyue and Mingyang walked on the street and saw that everyone had a happy face. They couldn't help but say, "Happy New Year" and "Wish you good fortune and prosperity" when they interacted with each other.

Even the old woman who was usually stingy and would argue with others for a penny or two bought a small bag of candy for her granddaughter.

I couldn't help feeling sad, but I couldn't help but get closer to everyone so that I could share in their joy.

"Happy New Year, little princess."

"Little Princess! I have some freshly made peach cakes here! They are so fragrant and crispy~"

"Would you like some of my bacon?!"

"Little Princess, this is for you! My peanut candy is the best!"

Seeing everyone's kind and intimate tone, my heart was deeply moved.

"Thank you everyone, and have a happy new year! May you all be prosperous in the new year~"

"Thank you, little princess~~"

"Thank you for your kind words~"

Mingyue was dressed warmly, like a little teddy bear, holding a candied haws in her hand.

The little guards behind him were carrying bamboo baskets in their hands and on their shoulders, which were filled with food sent by the villagers.

As people come and go, Mingyue will also leave a small New Year red envelope on their stalls.

Suddenly, there was a commotion coming from not far away.

"Get out of here!"

"The name of this medicine shop belongs to Yan, so it naturally belongs to my Yan Ruoshui. What are you planning to snatch from me, little girl?"

"Get out of here! You're here to take advantage of me, right?"

Mingyue and Mingyang looked at each other and walked towards the source of the sound.

I saw a girl about ten years old being pushed to the ground, her hair was messy, and she was only wearing a thin layer of clothes in the middle of winter.

People around him were also pointing fingers.

"Don't go too far. After all, she is your niece."

"That's right, this Yan family pharmacy was clearly founded by this child's father with all his hard work."

"This couple is too unreasonable. Her father Yan Ruohai just died, and the next moment her brother came to take his house."

Seeing more and more people around, Yan Ruoshui shouted inside, "Mom!!"

Immediately, an old woman came out, wearing gold and silver jewelry.

"What's the matter? What are you yelling about? It's just a shabby drugstore."

"What belongs to Yan Ruohai is my wife, right? I can give it to whoever I want."

"You damn girl, you did it on purpose, you're just a vixen like your mother."

"I told you to act pathetic! I told you to act pathetic!"

After saying that, he picked up the broom beside him and hit her.

Just as Mingyue was about to step forward, she was stopped by Mingyang.

Fortunately, the kind aunts around hurriedly stopped her, "Aunt Yan, this girl is your granddaughter after all. She should have a share in this pharmacy. How can you kick her out?"

The neighbor who knew the truth couldn't help but say, "Oh, who doesn't know about this old lady Yan? She's the only one who favors her youngest son every day."

"The younger son spends his days eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. She calls the older son's hard work unfilial."

"The eldest daughter-in-law is obviously the most filial, but this old woman doesn't know how to cherish her and wastes her time every day."

"Now, a few days ago, my eldest son and his wife died of poisonous food. Instead of seeking justice, they directly robbed their house and even kicked out their daughter."

"It happened a few days ago. I heard about it. The officials said they wanted to investigate, but they refused, saying their eldest son and his wife died from cooking and eating herbs themselves. It's a family affair, and the officials have no right to interfere."

Mingyue looked at the girl, who was shivering from the cold, but she remained silent, staring at Yan Pozi and the others with cold eyes.

Perhaps because he touched upon Yan Ruoshui's sore spot, he suddenly exploded, "What nonsense are you talking about! When have I ever given them poisonous grass to eat? You're talking nonsense!"

Everyone just thought he said that because he was extremely angry.

But Mingyang could see the panic and guilt in his eyes.

"You guys are such a piece of shit!"

"That's right. It's freezing cold, drive them out."

Yan Ruoshui's wife jumped out at this time, "What? You are a piece of shit, you are kind, your family has some spare money, you can take it back~"

He rolled his eyes as he spoke.

The person opposite was somewhat speechless after hearing what she said.

But it gave others around an idea, "Little girl! At worst, we can just give up on them. You can go to the little princess's orphanage!"

"That's right. If my family wasn't a little tight on money, I would have taken you away."

"I suddenly understand why the young princess wants to open a salesian home."

A glimmer of light flashed in the girl's eyes, but it was extinguished by the words of Yan Er's wife.

"Her? She's not young anymore, who would want to take her in? If they did, she might even be sold to a brothel."

"You're going too far!"

"You can say anything else, but how can you say the little princess?"

"That's right! You will get your comeuppance!"

Yan Er's wife laughed out loud, "That's hilarious! She's just a little girl of five or six years old, and you really treat her like a treasure. Then I'm also a big treasure."

After saying this, he puffed out his chest proudly.

Mingyue couldn't help it at this time. She was about to push away her brother's hand, but she found that he stood up first.

On a somewhat run-down street, a young man with extraordinary bearing suddenly appeared, holding a delicate and beautiful baby girl in his hand. Everyone's eyes fell on him.

Someone recognized Mingyang and Xiao Mingyue, and was excited to see Yan Er's wife get slapped in the face.

Mingyang walked to within two or three feet of her and asked, "What did you just say?"

Yan Er's wife was frightened by his eyes and forgot what she was going to say for a moment.

"You, who are you?"

"Of course I am the elder brother of the baby you just mentioned." As he said this, he shook Mingyue's hand.

Looking at the eldest brother's appearance, I shouted in my heart! So handsome! It seemed as if he was saying, "Mingyue, I'm protecting you, understand?" I tilted my head slightly.

At this time, the thick fur cloak that Mingyue had just asked someone to buy from the shop next door arrived.

It was a bit heavy, Mingyue pulled it but couldn't move it.

Ask someone to help put it on the girl.

Only then did everyone realize that the clothes she was wearing were so thin.

"That's inhumane. Just let your child wear this?"

"They say blood is thicker than water. This doesn't care about blood ties at all."
