My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

Are you angry?

"No, I was just trying to deduce what kind of 'small' thing could make you all keep it from me..."

327 Eccentric characters are everywhere

"Anyway... my concern is that you shouldn't get involved in this matter. If it really threatens you, I will have my own way of dealing with it," Lu Youmei said.

"So, this so-called minor matter is the kind of thing that I would definitely get involved in if I heard about it, and there is a slight possibility that it poses a certain threat to my personal safety. So, without letting me know, you decided to help me decide on a countermeasure first. If it really cannot avoid the factors that threaten my personal safety, then you will tell me everything?" Leng Yihan said a long sentence in one breath, without even pausing once in the middle.

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Lu Youmei didn't deny it; instead, she admitted it.

"Tsk...Can't I really know?"

"It's not impossible..."

"Then tell me! I promise I'll control myself! Don't worry!"

“I’m sorry, but after spending time with you these past few days, I’ve seen right through you. There’s absolutely no way you would meddle in something like this…” Lu Youmei retorted.

"Tch... For you to be so sure I can't calm down... I'd rather die than believe you for a trivial matter!!!"

"Hmm... I guess so for me."

"What you're saying is true, but I'm definitely not, right?!"

Leng Yihan had already seen through Lu Youmei's petty word games and expressed her disdain.

"Ahem... In short, there's absolutely no way I'll tell you, so give up now." In the end, Lu Youmei simply stopped beating around the bush and directly showed her determination not to tell Leng Yihan.

"Troublesome..." Leng Yihan muttered. If that were really the case... then no one in the entire courtyard would be willing to tell him...

What should I do...?

……

Wait a minute? Perhaps I can go outside into the courtyard and ask?

Yes... I can use this as an opportunity to test the waters!

Leng Yihan suddenly stood up, walked out of the house, waved to the maid, and headed straight for the courtyard exit.

After all, once most of the area is known, deduce where the exit is.

As for why he called the maid when he clearly knew the approximate location of the exit...

"Young Master, wait... Where are you going!"

"Since none of you will tell me, then I'll just have to go out and ask my mother myself what trouble she's encountered. If she still refuses to tell me, then I'll give up," Leng Yihan replied calmly.

"No, you can't! You can't go out!" the maidservant said hurriedly.

"Oh? Why not?" She's taken the bait...

"This..." Upon hearing Leng Yihan's question, the maid's expression changed immediately.

"Thank you for reminding me, I understand." Leng Yihan smiled; he had already seen the path leading out of the courtyard.

"and many more!"

Since you won't let me out...

So, can I then interpret it as...?

"The only place you can keep this from is the people in this courtyard, because everyone here can be trusted, while the people outside..."

"And how many more are there? They must be very tight-lipped," Lu Youmei said, revealing Leng Yihan's thoughts.

This idea was so obvious that anyone who wasn't mentally challenged could see that Leng Yihan's thought process was quite clear.

Go outside and ask someone, that should do it.

With that in mind, Leng Yihan quickened her pace considerably and was about to leave the courtyard.

We've arrived at the door...

"Xiao Han, where are you going?" Leng Yihan had just reached the door when a familiar woman appeared in front of her.

"Mom?" Leng Yihan was stunned when she saw Leng Yiyi suddenly appear at the door.

"Oh dear, could it be that Xiao Han misses Xiao Yin too much? Does she want to find a way to save her in the Leng family as soon as possible?" Leng Yiyi said, then seemed to remember something.

“…” Leng Yihan’s lips twitched. Looking at her mother, who was no different from before, she didn’t know what to say.

She still looks like a little girl... Mom, really...

"No, it's nothing, I just miss you a little." Leng Yihan didn't know what was wrong with her, so she changed the subject.

What's going on... Doesn't he want to know what trouble his mother is in...?

……

But Mom doesn't seem to have any problems, right?

No, no, she's definitely hiding it from me! She doesn't want me to worry! Mom always does this!

Leng Yihan shook her head, trying to clear her mind and not be fooled by Leng Yiyi's innocent smile...

"Xiao Han, I made some of your favorite snacks. There aren't enough kitchen utensils in the courtyard, so I had to go out and borrow some from your grandfather." Leng Yiyi said, holding up the bag in her hand.

"Then... let's go back first." Leng Yihan said, turning around to look, but the maid had already disappeared.

This girl... she's definitely not some maid, right? Nobody believes you...

As Leng Yihan thought to herself, she took a step forward and then stopped.

A series of hurried footsteps came from the corner of the road in front of the courtyard, followed by a voice calling out to them.

"Leng Yiyi! Wait a minute!"

"Tch... They actually followed us here... Xiao Han, hurry up and go, Mom has some things to take care of, you go back first." Leng Yiyi said hurriedly to Leng Yihan.

“…Hmm.” Leng Yihan did not refuse and quickly walked towards the path leading to the courtyard.

Then, taking advantage of Leng Yiyi's inattention as he turned the corner, he jumped onto the roof and circled back to the roof behind Leng Yiyi, quietly observing the newcomer.

"Leng Yiyi, let me tell you! No matter what, your destiny will not change! This is a marriage contract that was arranged since you were born!"

……engagement?

"Oh? I'm a married woman now, and I have a lovely daughter. Even so, that young master is still willing to be a 'second-hand man'? That really changes my worldview. There are indeed oddballs everywhere."

Huh? What is this... wait, with this kind of development...

"Sigh... I hope you won't get angry over something so stupid, Leng Yihan..." Lu Youmei's voice suddenly echoed in Leng Yihan's mind...

"Wait... what you're talking about..."

"Leng Yiyi! The young master will naturally accept you. Kill your husband and daughter, erase all traces, and it won't be too late for him to marry you then!"

……

“Interesting…interesting…” Leng Yihan’s lips twitched. “Truly, ‘the world is infinitely vast, and oddballs are everywhere…’”

"..."

"Lu Youmei, do you know who that 'young master' is?" Leng Yihan asked Lu Youmei.

Lu Youmei looked at Leng Yihan with a strange expression. Her demeanor was a little too calm... wasn't it?

No, no... perhaps this is a good thing? At least it shows that Leng Yihan has grown up a bit?

I thought she would still be impulsive like before...

“I want to go and chop that guy up; after all, he wanted to kill me.” Leng Yihan.

"I've decided to retract my evaluation of you..." Lu Youmei said speechlessly.

"Huh? Why? Someone wants to kill me... can't I kill them too?" Leng Yihan sneered. "I'm merciful, but not stupid. Those who deserve to die shouldn't be killed without hesitation, but those I feel have a chance to repent will naturally be spared..."

328 Tolerance?

"Oh? If you dare to do that, I'll fight you to the death. Besides, you don't know how much I hate your arrogant young master, do you? But maybe I should thank him? If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have run away from home and met my true love." Leng Yiyi retorted without backing down.

"...Lu Youmei, how strong is this guy?"

"So-so, just an eighth-tier piece of trash. If it weren't for the powerful family behind him and your dear mother not daring to act rashly, this guy would be a corpse by now."

"Do you have a way to kill someone silently, without any suspicion from us?" Leng Yihan asked.

"You want to kill him?"

“Imprisoning him is fine, but I have a few more questions to ask.” Leng Yihan.

“Yes, there is… but… it requires someone to cooperate…” Lu Youmei said with a light laugh, “But… since I didn’t expect you not to go berserk.”

"What a joke... You can just put up with this kind of person. What do you take me for?"

Everyone thinks you're the kind of cute kid who gets angry and says, "Don't disturb Mom and Dad's harmonious life," when you hear some weird uncle trying to take Mom away from Dad.

"No, no! I would never be that kind of person! There must be something wrong with your perception! I never act like this normally!" Leng Yihan immediately retorted.

"Hmph! Leng Yiyi, let me tell you! I advise you to be sensible! Do you still think the Leng family is as powerful as it used to be? Under the leadership of the eldest young master, our Zhou family is in no way inferior to yours! I will be back tomorrow, and after a while, you won't have a choice!"

"Oh? Very 'welcome,' indeed. I'll still be happy to watch from the courtyard gate as you, this pathetic dog, run back to your master, tears streaming down your face, kneeling and licking his shoes!" Leng Yiyi wasn't exactly known for her temper, and this was the first time Leng Yihan had ever seen her mother scold someone like this...

Her mother has always had a good temper, so these words were unbelievable to Leng Yihan.

"Looks like I'll have to go back first, but that's fine... this gives me time to prepare... I need to think of a way to ensure that what we're doing... won't arouse suspicion..."

-

"Hey... why are you all looking at me with such strange eyes..." Leng Yihan said awkwardly, looking at the three strange looks in their eyes.

"Hmm... I was just thinking, this kind of thing is bound to happen." Leng Zhenmo sighed.

“It’s always you, Yihan, who told us to keep a low profile… but what you’re doing now is very high-profile in every way, and it’s really hard to clear your name…” Xu Xiaoxiao said.

"Ah...ah? Is that so?" Leng Yihan's lips twitched. "I don't think so..."

"So you're actually quite angry, aren't you? You just haven't realized it yet," Leng Zhenmo added again. "But this matter definitely needs to be resolved... but Yihan, you'd better calm down and not be so hasty. There's more than just tomorrow."

……

Am I really angry?
