"Ha~" The old lady found it unbelievable and sneered, her voice full of anger.

The corners of her mouth kept twitching because of extreme anger, as if she was about to be twisted by anger.

She glared at her aunt viciously, the anger in her eyes seemed to be able to burn her to ashes. "You said this medicine is the same as usual, how did you know?"

The old lady's voice was sharp and piercing, with a clear questioning tone.

The aunt was frightened by the old lady's momentum and retreated a little. She covered her arms tightly, fearing that the old lady would pinch her again.

There were several deep red marks on the arm. If he used more force, the piece of flesh would probably be pinched off.

My aunt's voice was trembling a little, and she stammered, "She...she told me."

The old lady suddenly felt as if all the unpleasantness in her body had been blown away by the wind, disappearing without a trace. She felt relaxed as if she had returned to her previous energetic state.

She was originally leaning on her aunt, but now she seemed like a different person and sat up straight and steadily.

"She's quite amazing!" The old lady secretly sighed in her heart, "At such a young age, she actually knows how to win people's hearts. How could I believe her nonsense so easily?"

I secretly thought to myself that I was too careless this time and actually underestimated her!

I must not make the same mistake again next time. I must let her know how powerful I am and teach her a severe lesson.

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had already seen Ni'er's miserable scene of being scolded and crying, and he felt a little better.

The old lady pursed her lips, always thinking about how she could suppress Ni'er.

By the way, the house we build this time must be bigger than hers!

After all, I am her elder, so it is reasonable for me to live in a big house. I cannot let a junior encroach on my rights.

So, I started to think about the new house in my mind, imagining how envious the third brother's family would be after it was built.

Nier stood there, fiddling with the herbs with a heavy heart.

She felt very guilty because she accidentally angered the old lady, which might implicate her aunt.

She knew that once grandma got angry, she wouldn't care who she was with, as long as she could vent her anger.

As Nier thought about it, she unconsciously touched a small medicine bottle in her pocket.

This small medicine bottle was given to her by her master, and it contains a good medicine for treating bruises and injuries.

She thought that there were boys in her aunt's family and there would inevitably be some bumps and bruises, so she decided to give the bottle of medicine to her aunt later, as a little compensation to her.

The setting sun melts gold, and the dusk clouds merge together.

Ni'er thought about telling her master about her decision.

Although she knew very well that her master would support her no matter what decision she made, she still wanted to hear her master's opinion. After all, her master had much more experience than her.

The two sat there, eating quietly. Nier glanced around while chewing her food.

Zhao Jincheng noticed Ni'er's little action. He secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that this little disciple must have something to say to him.

So he quickened his eating speed, swallowed the food in his mouth in a few gulps, and then moved his head over.

Seeing that her master understood what she meant so quickly, Ni'er couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.

"Master," Nier said in a low voice, "I want to go and uncover that piece of land tonight when no one is around."

After hearing this, Zhao Jincheng was stunned at first, and then he gave Ni'er an approving look.

I didn't expect that this seemingly weak girl is so brave.

"Well, since you've made up your mind, just go for it." Zhao Jincheng encouraged, "When do you plan to go?"

Nier blinked her big, lively eyes, as if she was thinking about something in her mind.

After a while, he raised his mouth slightly and said, "Master, I think we can wait until the second half of the night. By then, Uncle Zhu should have fallen asleep, and there won't be too many people walking around."

After listening to his little apprentice's words, Zhao Jincheng thought that this was indeed a good idea.

In the middle of the night, most people are asleep, so Lao Zhu naturally wouldn't hang out in that place at that time.

This way, their actions will be safer and less likely to be discovered.

"Yeah, that makes sense." Zhao Jincheng nodded in agreement. "Then let's go back and rest, get enough energy, and get up to work in the second half of the night. I'll wake you up then, and find a few more people to help, so we can go faster."

After hearing her master's arrangement, Ni'er was very happy. Her already curved eyes smiled even brighter and her lips pursed unconsciously.

"Hey, Master, what do you think Uncle Zhu's expression will be when he finds out that something is missing the next day?" Ni'er asked mischievously, with a sly look in her eyes.

Zhao Jincheng was amused by his apprentice's question. He couldn't help but laugh too. "Haha, you are really naughty. But Old Zhu will definitely be surprised. He might even look for it secretly."

"Hehe, that's so funny." Ni'er laughed happily, as if she saw Lao Zhu's panic-stricken look.

Zhao Jincheng narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his finger, tapped lightly, and said, "You are so mean!"

Nier raised her head with a smug smile on her face and retorted: "This is all because of your good teaching, Master!"

There was complete silence all around, with only the occasional sparse chirping of birds.

Zhao Jincheng estimated that the time was almost up, and slowly stood up, his movements gentle and cautious.

He put on his clothes quickly, then walked carefully to Ni'er's tent, bent down, put his mouth close to the gap in the tent, and whispered, "Hey, get up."

Nier was indeed a little too excited just now, so much so that she couldn't fall asleep after lying down for a long time.

I finally fell into a drowsy sleep, but just as I fell asleep, I was suddenly awakened by a slight shout.

She sat up sleepily, rubbed her eyes subconsciously, and then patted her cheeks gently, trying to wake herself up.

When she realized that she was about to do something sneaky and furtive, she instantly became energetic.

He put on his clothes quickly, as fast as lightning.

Then, he carefully got out of the tent, trying not to make any noise.
