    He Qingyao and He Qingmu entered the house and said to Zhou Yu in a childish voice, “Hello, Grandma Zhou.”


    Zhou Yu was still a little stunned. She nodded. “Alright, alright. You guys y by yourselves! ”


    He Wenda saw that they had all entered the house. He stuck his head out to


    take a look. After confirming that no one had discovered them, he quickly closed the courtyard door.


    Zhou Yu pointed at Ling Yiran lying on the wooden board and stammered,


    “This…’


    She looked at the person lying on the wooden board. It was abnormal. That person’s face was pale, and he looked like he was injured.


    Moreover, the two people in the courtyard looked unfamiliar. They were definitely not from the vige.


    Especially that shifty-looking person. Just by looking at his face, one could tell that he was not a good person.


    Yao Jun did not know that he had beenbeled as “not a good person!” Although he was not a good person himself, he had already turned good and could be considered a good citizen.


    “Son, who are they? Why haven’t I seen them before?” Zhou Yu asked.


    Her son had always been sensible and had never made them worry too much. How did he meet such a person now?


    Zhou Yu was a little afraid. After all, one child had already gone astray. She was afraid that He Wenda would follow his brother’s path.


    Thinking of the people who hade to ask for debts in the past, Zhou Yu’s eyelids began to twitch. Her woman’s intuition told her that something was going to happen. She did not want to experience those things a second time.


    He Wenda said to Zhou Yu, “Mother, the matter is urgent. I’ll exin to youter.”


    “Hey…” Zhou Yu wanted to ask more, but He Wenda anxiously asked Yao Jun and Cheng Yu to carry the person into the house. “The east room is where I live. There’s a ce to hide people. Hurry up and bring him into the east room.”


    Yao Jun and Cheng Yu nodded at Zhou Yu. Then, they listened to He Wenda’s instructions and carried him into the east room.


    Zhou Yu quickly grabbed He Wenda and asked, “Son! What are these people doing? Tell me clearly first!”


    He could not bring someone he did not know home. What if something happened?


    Seeing the worry on Zhou Yu’s face, He Wenda exined, “Mother, don’t worry. These people are my friends. They saved my life in the past. This time, I brought them home to hide.”


    Was he in trouble?


    Zhou Yu’s eyelids twitched even more when she heard this. Could the person in the east room be the fugitive that the officials wanted to catch?


    Zhou Yu was so frightened that her face turned pale. “The officials who came to catch the fugitive just left. Why did you bring those people home? Hurry up and send them out! I’m very afraid!”


    Her man had apanied the officials to catch the fugitive, but her son had directly dragged the fugitive into his house!


    He Wenda said, “Mother, there are no fugitives here. There’s only my savior. Don’t feel burdened. Tust treat it as helDing vour son Dav his debts. If not for them, I would have died long ago!”


    He had always remembered He Yufeng’s kindness in his heart, but it was a pity that he had never had the chance to repay it. Now that he had finally encountered it, how could he stand by and do nothing?!


    Zhou Yu frowned and said reluctantly, “This is not how you repay a favor. You might implicate our family.”


    If he wanted money, it was fine if he came back home. Hiding a fugitive was not a small matter. If he was discovered, his entire family would be beheaded!


    He Wenda saw through Zhou Yu’s thoughts and said, “Mother, is your son’s life so worthless in your eyes? He saved me and now that my benefactor is in trouble, shouldn’t I help him?”


    “How do you and Father usually teach me? You wanted me to be a grateful person. I have to be grateful and not be ungrateful.”


    Zhou Yu was speechless. She still wanted to try and fight for it. “But..


    He Wenda patted her shoulder and said, “I don’t have any buts. If someonees, remember to cover for us! Your son’s life is in your hands!”


    Zhou Yu sighed and said, “I really owe you in my previous life!”


    Her own son had been sacrificed. What else could she do? She could only brace herself and go forward.


    When He Wenda heard this, he knew that Zhou Yu had agreed. He said with a cheeky smile, “I knew Mother was the best person in the world to me. What would I do without you?”


    Zhou Yu nodded his head. “You’re still as coquettish as when you were young. You’ll never grow up.”


    He Wenda said, “That’s because I’ll always be a child in Mother’s eyes.”


    Zhou Yu walked over and looked at the doortch. After confirming that the door was locked, she heaved a sigh of relief. She asked, “Did you meet anyone along the way?”


    He Wenda shook his head. “No, there’s no one in the vige. I didn’t even meet a fly when I walked to the door.”


    This time, it was all thanks to those officials that they were able to return home so smoothly. They brought everyone to Su Li’s side, and regardless of whether they were old or young, they all ran to watch themotion. This gave them many opportunities.


    Zhou Yu was relieved. “That’s good. I’m just afraid that some gossipy women will spout nonsense. Go in and settle them down first. I’ll go out and take a look.”


    He Wenda nodded and said, “Alright!”


    Yao Jun and Cheng Yu put Ling Yiran on the bed carefully. Cheng Yu took off Ling Yiran’s clothes. There were some blood stains on his clothes, probably from the bumpy ride.


    Yao Jun took a look and asked, “Is he dead?”


    Before leaving, Su Li had told him clearly that this person was their God of


    Fortune. She told him to protect him well and not let those fake officials discover him.


    When Yao Jun said this, Cheng Yu red at him fiercely. “Do you know how to speak? If you don’t know how to speak, shut your stinky mouth!”


    If not for Yao Jun’s help just now, he would have given him a big p.


    Yao Jun muttered innocently, “That’s right. Look, he didn’t even move. It’s not my fault that people think he’s dead!”


    Cheng Yu red at him again. “Shut up. Do you believe that I’ll sew your mouth shutter?”


    This person was really uninteresting. He was even angry after hearing him say just a few words.


    Cheng Yu quickly helped Ling Yiran deal with it, in case the ce where he was stitched split open and caused a second injury.


    Zhou Yu went to the vige and found that there was really no one in the vige. Only then did she turn around and go home.


    Just as she closed the door, she heard a knock on the door. She immediately became vignt. Why would someone knock at this time?!


    “Who is it?” Zhou Yu asked from behind the door.


    Su Li said, “Auntie, it’s me.”


    “Su Li?” Zhou Yu confirmed again.


    Hearing Zhou Yu’s vignt voice, the corners of Su Li’s lips curled up. She knew that Zhou Yu was now on their side..
