Chapter 1956 - 1958: Robbing the Rich to Aid the Poor

"Of course, who else but us?"

Ye Zi’an chuckled, "Dear, doesn’t it feel great to be a heroine?"

"Indeed, it does." Yang Chuxia stroked her chin and said, "I quite enjoy this feeling, but unfortunately, it’s not something we can do often. Otherwise, I’d definitely visit every corrupt official’s home in the Capital City."

"It’s best just to think about such things."

Ye Zi’an pulled her and said, "These are chaotic times, with lax management. Normally, doing this would be very dangerous."

"I know, of course. By the way, that old woman has died."

"Yes, I saw that."

Ye Zi’an murmured, "I didn’t expect her to be so ruthless. Grandfather was also poisoned by her."

"The only redeeming quality of that woman was her devotion to her descendants."

"Let’s not talk about her anymore. In another hour, it will be daylight. Let’s sleep for a while."

"Okay!"

Having been up all night, Yang Chuxia was also a bit tired and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Ye Zi’an touched her cheek, hugging her a little tighter.

When they woke up again, it was already around 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.

The warmth at her side lingered; turning her head, Ye Zi’an was still asleep.

As she turned to get up, Ye Zi’an pulled her back.

"Sleep a little more."

"No more sleeping, once I’m awake, I can’t fall back asleep."

But Ye Zi’an still squinted his eyes, refusing to let her go.

Helplessly, she accompanied him in resting for a while longer, somehow dozing off until noon.

Upon coming out, Yangyang was happily munching on a bucket of popcorn, and seeing her, he ran over with bounding steps.

"Mother, why did you get up so late?"

"I slept late last night."

Yangyang nodded, looked at her, wanting to say something but hesitated.

"What’s the matter, do you want to tell me something?"

"Mom, we’re free now, right?" He tugged at her sleeve and said, "Can we go to the Mu Residence? Mom, please take me to see my fiancée at the Mu Residence."

Come to think of it, indeed, since returning from the Mu Residence that day and being busy preparing for Yang Dongxue’s marriage, they hadn’t visited the Mu Residence.

She thought about it and said, "Let’s go this afternoon, otherwise, tomorrow is the New Year."

"Oh..." Excited, the silly boy started jumping, and the popcorn in his arms flew out, hitting him in the face, "Wow, geez!"

"Look at you, silly boy!" Yang Chuxia laughed as she pinched his little cheek.

Compared to the tranquility at Prince An’s Mansion, the Luo Residence was truly in chaos.

When Old Madam Luo was alive, she set many strict rules for the daughters-in-law, and paying respects in the morning and evening was a must.

Very early in the morning, First Madam Luo and Second Madam arrived one after the other.

But strangely, the door to Old Madam Luo’s courtyard was tightly shut.

According to the usual time, the nanny should have come to open the door by now.

First Madam Luo thought perhaps the old lady had slept too late and hadn’t gotten up yet. But after waiting for another hour, she vaguely felt something was amiss.

She wanted to break down the door, but Second Madam stopped her, so another hour passed. Then, Old Master Luo came seeking to discuss something with the old lady, only to find everyone standing outside the courtyard gate.

After understanding the situation, Old Master Luo ordered someone to break open the door.

The courtyard was eerily quiet, so quiet it was terrifying.

As they pushed open the door to Old Madam’s room, a strong smell of blood wafted out, making Old Master Luo feel something was terribly wrong.

The room was in complete disarray, the nanny who served the old lady was collapsed to one side, her face pale and grey.

Looking at the blood-stained floor, Old Master Luo tremblingly lifted the quilt, only to find that Old Madam Luo had died.
