The protagonist committed numerous evil deeds.

The villagers of Guiyue Village had already settled down by the moon. As soon as Village Chief Liu left, almost the entire village came.

After Liu Youming passed away, the Liu family was left with only a widowed mother raising three children.

When Wen Li picked up Second Uncle at the village chief's house, none of his jewelry was missing, and his gold-plated house was intact.

In the past, when Wen Li went on missions, she would often entrust Second Master to Shen Yannan. When Shen Yannan also had missions, she could only lock him up. She would feed him a few fasting pills, leave enough food, and then leave with a worried expression.

There are always people who can't stand seeing a dog living so comfortably and will try every means to hurt it. No matter how much money they give it, the dog will still be hurt.

When Second Master saw Wen Li, he was very excited and kept circling around her. But when he saw Tao Xi and the other children with tears in their eyes coming over, Second Master immediately calmed down.

Stone: "Boss, waaaaah... are you... are you taking Second Brother away?"

Tao Xi: "Big brother, is my grandpa really dead? Like my parents, will he never come back? Waaah..."

Little Flower: "Waaaaah... Boss, why can't Grandpa wake up... There are clearly no monsters here, how can people die even without monsters? Waaaaah..."

Before Wen Li could answer, Shi Tou interrupted, "Xiao Hua, you're so silly. People will die anyway, even without monsters."

Xiaohua: "No, you won't die if there are no monsters!"

Tao Xi: "No, Xiao Hua, you'll die even without monsters, Mother said so."

Xiaohua burst into tears, feeling wronged: "Then why did Grandpa die but we didn't? Will we die too?"

Wen Li knelt down to wipe away her tears, while the Second Master tugged at Xiao Hua's clothes, as if to comfort her.

"You won't die, don't worry."

Wen Li wasn't good at comforting people, and after thinking for a long time, she could only come up with this one sentence. She could only gently wipe away their tears, but the three children couldn't stop crying.

Tao Xi cried and said, "I always felt that Grandpa was just asleep. The day before yesterday, he said he was sleepy and went back to his room to sleep, but I couldn't wake him up this morning. Do you think he might be sleeping too soundly?"

Wen Li didn't know what to say, because she had the same thought, wondering if the person was just sleeping too soundly and if they had misunderstood.

But she never dared to confirm it.

The children cried louder and louder, which alarmed Wen Li.

Asagao, who was originally helping Zhao Sicheng comfort Wen Mingzhu, saw the situation and quickly pulled the two of them away.

They each held a child and tried their best to comfort them.

Asagao: "Don't cry, let Auntie hug you. Don't cry, Grandpa has just gone to heaven."

Wen Mingzhu: "Let me hug you too, waaaaah... You guys are so pitiful... waaaah..."

Zhao Sicheng: "Shitou, you're a man, don't cry like that. From now on, you'll help your mother take care of your older and younger sisters, understand?"

……

Clearly, these three people are much better at comforting people than Wen Li.

Wen Li, holding Second Master's hand, stood silently to the side, seemingly out of place amidst the noisy and sorrowful crowd inside.

"Village chief, how could you leave like this! Waaah..."

"Village chief, you haven't even had a few days to enjoy your retirement, how could you leave us like this..."

"Village Chief, we'll miss you so much..."

Over the years, Grandpa Liu has treated every villager in the village as his own family. Perhaps decades ago, there was no connection between them, but now they are all family.

Wen Li wanted to go home again, to go back to the South China Sea. She hadn't been back even once in all these years.

She thought she needed to quickly investigate the Jiang family's wrongful conviction so she could go back and see Jiang Yanhong.

She must be very lonely there all by herself.

As darkness fell, Wen Li led the Second Master out of the Liu family home and bumped into Xie Xiao, who had just arrived to pay his respects. She stopped him and asked, "Are you all done with your work? Where's Shen Yingsi?"

"Fourth Brother is still outside the city. Over the years, Danli has occupied a lot of Yueban land. The Liang family's troops have been stationed in Yueban land, dozens of miles away from the border, for more than 20 years."

"Lin Hu and Liang Qi are already arguing. Judging from Liang Qi's attitude, she probably doesn't want to give in. Moreover, the people of that land have long accepted themselves as citizens of Danli. For so many years, they have relied on the Liang family to protect them from the demons of Yueban. They all have great faith in Liang Qi as the head of the family."

Wen Li nodded. This matter wasn't written in the book. In her previous life, too many of the Northern Desert Cavalry died, and Pei Kuang was too busy comforting the families of the soldiers to pursue these matters with Liang Qi.

However, even if you gave Liang Qi all this land, you still wouldn't be able to satisfy her appetite.

In the previous life, Shen Yi and Shen Yannan were in power and sent Danli and Manzhou away, which led to Liang Tiantian's rebellion. Logically speaking, Pei Kuang and Liang Qi were both dissatisfied with the Shen family father and son and hated demons, so they also rebelled around the same time. They had even worked together under Shen Yingsi before, so they should have been united. However, in the end, the two of them actually fought each other.

One of the reasons is the large pancake that is half-moon.

Xie Xiao sighed, "My poor fourth brother, he's so busy every day that he doesn't even have a moment for himself. I really wish there was someone who cared about him and could talk to him properly, and pour him a cup of tea when he's tired."

"Aren't you the one who understands and cares about people's feelings? Lord Xie, you can't even pour a cup of tea. I don't know where you want to be promoted."

Wen Li replied and left the Liu family with the Second Master.

"Oh! Miss Wen, I can pour the tea, but I don't want a promotion!"

On the way, Wen Li kept thinking about the Jiang family. She had already carefully examined that space and had gleaned some clues from it.

The Jiang family indeed harbors secrets unknown to the world.

Unlike its owner, the second dog wagged its tail, the golden bell around its neck jingling loudly. The dog walked in front of Wen Li, stopping occasionally to wait for her, looking as if it never had any worries.

Now people have started living in Yueban, and Wenli also has her own place to live.

Inside the house, she took out the letters left by Aunt Song, hoping to make some new discoveries.

Second Master lay at her feet, calling out every now and then.

But Wenli was still lost in her own thoughts and didn't pay much attention to it.

"I wonder where Aunt Song and her family bought my third uncle. Do I have to find out where Aunt Song lives first?"

"Second Master, when will I be able to give you a good life?"

There was no reply from the room, so Wen Li suddenly stood up. "Second Master?"

"Second Master!"

"Where have you been hiding? Looking for a beating?"

Wen Li's calls went unanswered; the Second Master was gone. She frantically searched the entire room. Confirming he wasn't there, Wen Li immediately ran outside.

"Second Master, Second Master, Second Master Jiang..."

Second Master is very well-behaved and quite shy. When she's around, he always stays obediently by her side and never runs off. How could he have sneaked out this time?

"Second Master! Where are you? Answer me if you hear me!"

Wen Li ran to a fork in the road; one path led to the Liu family's residence, while the other led out of the city. She didn't know where the Second Master had gone, but she guessed he might have gone to find Tao Xi and the others. So she ran towards the Liu family's residence.

"Second Master! Don't play dumb with me! If you don't respond, I'm going to get angry!"

Unexpectedly, a response came from behind.

"Wang!"

A familiar dog bark rang out.

Wen Li immediately turned to look at another road. A boy dressed in white with a high ponytail was holding a dog high in the air. The dog was sticking out its tongue, and the boy was smiling.

"Wang Wang!"

The dog excitedly stuck out its tongue and barked at her twice, and the boy actually imitated the dog and barked back at her.

"Wang!"
