I relied on a system to prolong my life in ancient times.

Chapter 189 Investigating Lü Tong

"Auntie, don't worry, I just want to work in the paper mill. Although I'm not as good as Siyue, I still know a few words and won't cause her any trouble," Lü Tong said persistently.

Is this something that will cause trouble or not?

“Xiaotong, it’s not that I don’t want you to go, but this paper mill is Yue’er’s own business, and all the workers here have signed contracts. It’s fine for you to stay at home,” Lin Qin explained patiently.

“Aunt, you saved me, and I have no way to repay you. I feel bad that I just stay at home and do nothing. I thought we could sign a contract.”

"Well...you can talk to Yue'er about this when she comes back. I can't make the decision on this matter," Lin Qin said helplessly.

"Thank you, Auntie. I'll talk to Siyue when she comes back." Lü Tong instantly went from tears to smiles.

Lin Qin was puzzled as to why Lü Tong insisted on working at the paper mill, since she hadn't mistreated her during this time.

Besides, if she really felt uncomfortable staying there, she said she could find her something else to do.

Lin Qin couldn't quite understand it.

In the afternoon, as soon as Xiao Siyue entered the gate, she was stopped by Lü Tong, who had been waiting for her.

"Siyue, you're back." Lü Tong walked up to Master Xiao with great enthusiasm, took Xiao Siyue's hand, and smiled broadly.

Xiao Siyue was puzzled. What was wrong with Lü Tong? She remembered that when she left this morning, she had embarrassed Lü Tong.

This person actually came over happily.

"Miss Lü, is there something you need?" Xiao Siyue asked with a smile. Although she didn't like this person, he was so enthusiastic, and the two of them didn't have any major conflicts, so she couldn't keep a cold face.

"Why does Sister Siyue still call me Miss Lü?" Lü Tong said coquettishly.

Xiao Siyue felt goosebumps rising on her skin. To prevent Lü Tong from saying anything more, Xiao Siyue quickly changed how she addressed her.

"Sister Lü."

"That's more like it." Lü Tong laughed happily.

"Sister Lü, please tell me what's wrong." They were still standing in the courtyard. She was a little tired today and wanted to go back and rest for a while.

“Sister Siyue, it’s like this, I can’t just stay idle at home all the time, so I was thinking of finding a job at the paper mill?” Lu Tong said, her hand fixed on Xiao Siyue.

Lu Tong's words immediately perked Xiao Siyue up.

What she just said, yes, she wants to find work at the paper mill.

No, I was just curious and wanted to go take a look this morning, how come I'm suddenly going to work at the paper mill?

Are they really that obsessed with paper mills?

Actually, arranging for someone to work at the paper mill wasn't a big deal, but for some reason, Xiao Siyue was reluctant. She felt that Lü Tong was a bit strange, which made her subconsciously unwilling to go there.

Since that's the case, Xiao Siyue didn't plan to say anything more to Lü Tong.

“The paper mill doesn’t need anyone anymore, Sister Lü, you should look for someone else,” Xiao Siyue refused directly.

Lu Tong's smiling face instantly fell.

"Siyue, you..." Before Lü Tong could say anything more.

Xiao Siyue said directly, "If Sister Lü has nothing else, I'll head back now."

After saying that, Xiao Siyue started walking towards her yard, but she felt that something was not right. Ever since Lü Tong came to the house, she had been asking about her. Now she was so obsessed with the paper mill. Why was that?

If she felt embarrassed, she could have found another guy.

Lu Tong wanted to say something more, but seeing Xiao Siyue leave without looking back, she had no choice but to give up.

But his gaze remained fixed on Xiao Siyue, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Xiao Siyue felt increasingly uneasy. Her family had too many secrets now, and if something were to happen, it would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Xiao Siyue immediately turned a corner and headed towards the front yard.

We arrived at Xiao Qinian's study.

"Dad, are you busy?" Xiao Siyue asked when she saw Xiao Qinian looking at something at the table.

"Yue'er, what's wrong?" Xiao Qinian put down the book in his hand and looked at his precious daughter with a loving expression.

"Father, it's like this, I always felt that there was something wrong with that Lü Tong, so I thought I'd talk to you about it."

"Oh? What's wrong?" Xiao Qinian's smile faded and he became serious when he heard Xiao Siyue say that.

"Dad, this Lü Tong has been coming to our house for some reason, and she always seems to be asking about me, and she always likes to get close to me." Xiao Siyue told Xiao Qinian about her thoughts.

"I see. Maybe she just likes you." Xiao Qinian hadn't paid attention to Lü Tong's affairs, so he didn't know much about them, but he figured a young girl like her shouldn't have any problems.

"No, Father. This morning she wanted to come with me to the paper mill, but I refused. When I came back just now, she wanted me to find her a helper at the paper mill."

"She seemed particularly interested in the paper mill. She had asked me about it before, and also asked several of my maids."

Xiao Siyue then told Xiao Qinian her thoughts.

After listening, Xiao Qinian also felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it for a while...

"Yue'er, you don't need to worry about this matter. Leave it to your father. You should go back and rest."

"Okay, Dad, I'll go back now." Although Xiao Siyue didn't know what her father was going to do, she trusted Xiao Qinian and felt relieved, so she went back to sleep.

After Xiao Siyue returned, Xiao Qinian remained silent for a long time before finally deciding to have someone investigate.

in a few days

Xiao Qinian hurriedly opened the information his subordinate had gathered, and after reading through all the information, his brows relaxed.

According to the information gathered by his subordinates, Lü Tong's background is correct, and what he said is true.

Moreover, she had sent people to keep a close eye on Lü Tong these past few days, but they hadn't noticed anything unusual. Every day, Lü Tong either stayed in her room or went to see Lin Qin or Xiao Siyue.

It seems Xiao Siyue was overthinking it.

Xiao Qinian told Xiao Siyue about this, and Xiao Siyue felt somewhat guilty, thinking that she had wronged Lü Tong.

Thinking that after a while, I would find Lü Tong an easy job so that her life could be peaceful and smooth in the future.

However, Xiao Siyue still did not intend to assign Lü Tong to the paper mill.

The paper mill was very important, and she only employed people she could trust. She couldn't possibly make Lü Tong her maid.

That's impossible.

Regardless of whether Lü Tong was willing or not, Lin Qin would definitely disagree.

In addition, she genuinely disliked Lü Tong, so she naturally wouldn't force herself to compromise.
