Chapter 24

Shen smiled, "Really, sister Wen, why didn't you say anything?"

"What's there to say, I'm used to it, oh, why doesn't mother eat, I'm hungry... Cousin Yuexi must be hungry too, isn't she?"

Cui Yuexi smiled, "...Yes."

"If you're hungry, just say you're hungry, why say Yuexi is hungry too."

Before Liu Ruwen could stare, Cui Yuexi took the initiative to say, "Auntie, I'm really hungry."

"Look at it."

Mrs. Chen laughed, "Then let's serve dinner, someone come and call the master over."

Liu Ruwen was surprised, "Father is at home?"

Shen shi poked her forehead angrily, "Did you forget that your father is taking a rest today?"

Liu Ruwen sighed and said, "Father will be fine, he can still take a bath every few days, why don't we stop?"

Although the Liu Family Academy is not as strict as the Royal Academy, it only has five days of vacation a year, and the number of vacations available is pitiful. There are only holidays on the first and fifteenth day of each month. Compared with the schools outside, they have four days off a month. Much less.

For this reason, Liu Ruwen complained a lot.

Liu Yanbo will come soon.

"Yuexi is here too."

Cui Yuexi was about to get up, but was held down by Liu Yanbo with a wave of his hand, "We're all a family, there's no need to be so particular, just casual."

The Liu family is from a family of hairpins, and they never talk about food when they eat, but Cui Yuexi didn't feel uncomfortable when Shen's picked up vegetables from time to time.

After dinner, Liu Yanbo wanted to go back to his study.

"Uncle, I want to borrow two books from you."

Borrowing books should be an excuse, she came to the big room today not just for eating.

Liu Yanbo didn't think much about it, thinking that she was really borrowing books, "Sister Wen, do you want to come too?"

Just as Liu Ruwen was about to get up, she was stopped by Shen, "She has enough books, so there's no need to go, Yuexi can go alone."

Cui Yuexi nodded gratefully at Shen, who smiled kindly.

After the two left, Liu Ruwen pouted unconvinced, "Mom, I really don't understand who is your daughter, you must be too partial."

"Silly girl, your cousin Yuexi's parents are gone, we are her relatives, of course we have to take good care of her."

Her parents are gone, why should she rob my parents?

For a moment, Shen couldn't figure out what Cui Yuexi wanted to do with Liu Yanbo, but when she saw her daughter, she said angrily, "You are an older sister, and Yuexi is a younger sister, what's wrong with you letting her go, isn't your elder brother letting you go too?"

Liu Ruwen blushed, "How can it be the same?"

"Why is it different?"

Liu Ruwen couldn't say no to Shen Shi, so she went back to her room angrily, thought about it halfway, and then went to the study.

Cui Yuexi followed Liu Yanbo to the study, "Yuexi, what book do you want to read?"

"Uncle, I'm not here to borrow books, I'm here to ask you to borrow someone."

Liu Yanbo was taken aback, and asked subconsciously, "Who do you want to borrow, but the people around you are not good enough?"

Cui Yuexi shook her head. She didn't know how to tell her grandfather and grandmother about the death of her parents. She was worried that they would not be able to bear it. After thinking about it, she could only find her uncle.

In front of Liu Yanbo, Cui Yuexi didn't intend to beat around the bush, "I want some of the Liu family's songs."

Liu Yanbo was taken aback, and became more and more confused, "Yuexi, what do you want to do, have you been wronged in any way, if someone bullies you, tell uncle not to do it yourself."

Cui Yuexi's eyes flashed, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

Liu Yanbo was at a loss for a while, he had never coaxed a girl before, "Stop crying, just tell uncle if you have anything." He was more and more sure that someone was bullying her.

Cui Yuexi suppressed the turmoil in her heart, "Uncle, I just want to ask someone to check things out."

Liu Yanbo continued to ask, "What do you want to investigate, I will help you."

"Some things, I want to check myself."

Liu Yanbo frowned for a while, and relaxed for a while.

"Yuexi, it's not that Uncle is stingy, do you know what the trilogy is?"

"It's a private team raised by the family, each of them is loyal to each other."

"Yes, since you can tell, you must also know that it takes a lot of money and time to cultivate these parts. If you want to borrow someone, you have to tell me what you want to do."

In terms of scheming, Cui Yuexi is no match for Liu Yanbo.

Cui Yuexi was silent for a moment, "Uncle, please believe me, I really have something important to borrow. This matter is very important. I don't want people from the Liu family to know before I investigate clearly."

Liu Yanbo was shocked by her words, he didn't react for a while, "Why can't the Liu family know that the matter you want to investigate has something to do with the Liu family?"

Combined with Cui Yuexi's previous actions, it's hard for Liu Yanbo not to be suspicious.

"Yuexi, you?"

Cui Yuexi knew that the uncle had misunderstood, so she hurriedly explained, "Uncle, I don't want the part to harm the Liu family, but... I want to investigate the death of my parents."

"Is there anything to investigate about the death of your parents..."

Liu Yanbo suddenly thought of something, grabbed her arm, "You know what, don't you?"

Cui Yuexi asked in confusion, "Uncle, why do you say that?"

Liu Yanbo reacted later, and let go of her, "Actually, I suspected it when your father died. It was officially reported that your father was killed by bandits running around, and the local government also caught the bandits, but I have gone to see the corpses of bandits, and there is no sign of being a soldier on their bodies, but they look like ordinary people."

"Then why didn't uncle check it out?"

"Hey, not long after your father died, your mother also had an accident. I was so sad that I forgot about it."

Liu Yanbo looked at her, "You asked me to borrow someone, did you know something?"

After thinking about it, Cui Yuexi decided to speak out, "Uncle, I heard Mrs. Yang and Cui Jinchao say that my parents were killed by Jun Cui, and my mother was strangled to death by Jun Cui."

"Boom..."

Liu Ruwen, who was about to eavesdrop, was taken aback, accidentally fell to the ground, and scrambled away.

Cui Yuexi looked at the shattered table, "I just heard about it, but I don't know the details. I dare not let my grandfather know about it, so I want to investigate it myself."

"Cui Jun is a despicable villain, he should have been killed in the first place."

Liu Yanbo clenched his fist tightly and took two heavy breaths.

At first, he wondered why Yuexi figured it out all at once, and thought she was acting, but now it seems that the child heard the death of his parents and recognized the faces of Cui Jun and his wife.

"Yuexi, you must not tell your grandparents about this matter, they have always loved your mother, if you tell them rashly, they will not be able to bear it."
