"Yes, but there are only two grandsons and me in my family. If I don't work, how can I feed them? "That's why I'm begging you, Master. Let me continue to work here and make some silver coins to make those two grandsons of mine grow up." The old man was sad to mention this. He should have been living in peace in his later years, but now there was such a heavy burden.

"This is really unfortunate."

"The heavens have already regarded me as good. I did not meet with any trouble, and I enjoyed peace and quiet. Not bad. I still have money to earn, and two obedient grandsons, that's pretty good. " The old man was optimistic and cheerful.

As the two of them chatted, Xue Luoyun became more and more moved by the injustice of fate, and he was also moved by the old man's optimism.

"Oh, by the way, can I ask you about someone?" Xue Luoyun thought of the important matter, and took out that piece of paper.

"Go ahead, miss."

"Do you know the people in this painting?"

"Hmm …" The old man took the painting and rubbed his eyes. He held the painting and looked at it from a distance. After pondering for a long time, he didn't seem to have any clues.

"This person is old and his memory isn't good. I can't recall, but he looks a little familiar." The old man looked at it for a long time, yet he was still unable to say anything.

"Think slowly. It's fine." As Xue Luoyun spoke, he continued to wash the clothes, while Yun Zhi helped him by the side. The two of them washed clothes from the height of the hill for the entire afternoon.

"Rest well here. If there's anything you need in the future, just call us." "Also, take this." As Xue Ruyun spoke, he handed the beautiful jade he was wearing to the old man.

"Miss, this is absolutely out of the question." The old man's hands trembled as he quickly refused.

"Take it and exchange it for some silver taels to support your two grandsons. There's no need to do such heavy work anymore." Xue Ruyun held the old man's hand and forcefully shoved it into the old man's, then he was about to leave.

At this moment, the old man suddenly pulled her back, looked around carefully, and said in a low voice, "I remember, this person is a distant relative of the mistress, he used to come to the mansion often for a period of time. At that time, I was still working as a maid in the Lady's garden, so I knew this person. It's just that he's sneaking around every time, so I don't dare say. "

So this old man had already remembered who this person was? It was just that they were worried that Xue Ruoyun and the others harboured malicious intents, but also feared that they would bring disaster upon themselves. As a result, they pretended to not know. Seeing that Xue Luoyun's kindness came from the bottom of his heart, only then did he speak of this matter.

"Don't say that I'm the one who said that I'm not afraid of death. I'm already a pile of old bones, and I've already lived enough. It's just that this grandson is still young …"

"Old man, don't worry." Xue Ruyun understood the old man's worries.

"Alright, alright. Thank you, old man." Xue Ruyun gratefully said to Yun Zhi and then returned to the small courtyard.

According to this old lady, this person had a close relationship with Madame Zhao many years ago, but after that, he suddenly disappeared. After more than ten years, he appeared again and even came to look for Madame Zhao.

From the situation at the time, the two of them should have discussed the matter beforehand. Thus, Mrs Zhao knocked this person to the ground and fled in panic. Then why was there a dispute? Why would Mrs Zhao use such a heavy hand? The more Xue Luoyun thought about it, the more he felt that this was not simple at all.

It looked like he had to find out something from the dead man.

The two of them followed the direction that the granny had indicated and slowly found out where the dead man had once lived. After searching for a long time, they finally arrived outside a shabby house.

"Miss, she's talking about this place, right?"

"Okay."

"But I don't think anyone has lived here for a long time." The two of them looked at the dilapidated house in front of them. It had been in a state of disrepair for a long time, and even the side houses had collapsed. Only the main house was barely holding on. He hadn't lived here for a long time. It seemed like he was going to make this trip for nothing.

According to the old man, the deceased had lived here for many years. From the looks of it, it seemed to be quite a nice place to live. But why did it end up like this?

"Don't worry about that for now, let's go in and take a look." Unwilling to go back just like that, Xue Luoyun decided to go in and take a look. As the two of them spoke, they pushed open the door and entered.

However, just as the two of them entered, they saw a wooden shelf in the corner with some clothes hanging on it. The door was also swept clean.

"I didn't expect to see something so shabby outside. Why is there someone living inside?"

The two of them hesitated for a while before calling out, "Is there anyone here? Is anyone there? "

After shouting for a while, a woman walked out. She had a piece of gauze wrapped around her head, making her look very weak. "Who are you looking for?" The woman asked carefully, frightened.

"Yes, we're looking for this person. Do you know him?" As he spoke, Xue Luoyun took out that piece of paper.

The woman moved closer to take a look, and her face immediately turned pale with fright, taking a few steps back, almost falling to the ground. She held onto the wall beside her to catch her breath, "I don't know, I don't know. I don't know this person.

The woman hurried back into the house and was about to close the broken door.

Xue Luoyun extended her hand and grabbed the door, "You're lying." She stared into the woman's eyes. No one dared to look into her powerful aura. The woman's eyes looked left and right as she fled. She was so flustered that she wanted to close the door and tremble in fear.

"Your expression is so obvious, and you still say you don't know this person?" What is your relationship with him? "

"I don't know him, I don't know him." The woman bitterly tried to struggle free from Xue Luoyun's hand, but no matter what she could not break free, she could only compromise.

"He, he is my husband."

"What?" When Xue Ruyun heard this, he was somewhat surprised.

"Your husband."

"Right." The woman nodded, and the hand holding the door dropped.

"Did someone send you guys to arrest him?" The woman said in despair, as if this was something she was used to.

Looking at her expression, the two of them shook their heads in surprise.

"Are you people from the government?" The woman had just let out a sigh of relief when she asked again. The two of them still shook their heads.

Only now did the woman relax.

"Hmm, what's your name?" Xue Luoyun asked.

"I'm just a woman with the surname Wang. Call me whatever you want." The woman invited Xue Luoyun and the others into the room and poured them a cup of coarse tea.

"Big Sis Wang, why did you ask that just now?" Xue Luoyun was very interested in the woman's expression just now.

"Sigh, it's fine if you don't say it. This is only my little woman's family business." The woman seemed to have something to hide.

Xue Ruyun saw that she was in a very difficult situation, so she didn't force her.

"Oh right, why have all of you come here?" The woman was already used to it.

"Uh, about this, we have something that I don't know whether I should tell you or not." Seeing that her body was weak, and that she had just been frightened just now, Xue Ruoyun didn't know whether or not he should tell her this grievous news. Afraid of hurting her.

"Say it, it's been so many years, what have I not encountered before?" The woman's face was dark. She sighed and sat on the chair with her hands supporting the shaky armrest, afraid that she would fall over.

Xue Ruyun awkwardly looked at the woman, and gave Yun Zhi a meaningful look. Yun Zhi understood and stood up, "Mm, your husband is already dead …"
