"Orders are issued and laws are followed."

"Then why didn't you listen just now?" Jiang Qi's tone remained steady.

"..." This time Yue Yi just lowered his head and said nothing.

"I won't make it difficult for you. You all know the rules I set. You don't need me to teach you what to do." After saying that, Jiang Qi didn't say anything else, just waited there quietly, looking at him.

"Yes, I know." Yue Yi agreed, then took off his work badge without any hesitation and handed it to Jiang Qi with both hands.

Seeing his actions, the others didn't react and no one spoke for him.

Jiang Qi took the work badge and played with it casually in her hand. She was waiting for someone to speak for her.

But the people who were here were not good people. They had no empathy. Since he had made a mistake and admitted it, there was nothing to say about him just taking the punishment.

Besides, everyone knew that Jiang Qi was angry today. No one would bother to cause trouble at this time.

After a while, seeing that no one had any objections, Jiang Qi felt disappointed and said, "Everyone, go away. Go do what you need to do."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison and dispersed in an orderly manner.

Wen Youyou was also helped down by Jiang Qi, leaving only Shen Zhiyi and Jiang Qi.

"Tell me exactly what Gu Jingcheng said to you." Jiang Qi asked calmly, her tone steady and no emotion could be seen.

Shen Zhiyi knew what Jiang Qi was talking about, and then he told Jiang Qi everything about his conversation with Gu Jingcheng that day.

As expected by Jiang Qi, Gu Jingcheng only told Shen Zhiyi about the three people who were present today and said that they were all people Jiang Qi knew.

After hearing the last part, Jiang Qi couldn't help but broke the small sign in his hand with force.

But looking at Jiang Qi again, his expression was still normal. He just threw the small sign in his hand aside and said softly: "Okay, I get it. I have nothing to do today, you go."

Shen Zhiyi didn't dare to say anything else, because he knew that his young lady needed quietness, so he said: "Yes." Then he left directly, not daring to stay any longer.

And Jiang Qi really needed to think about something quietly now, so she stood in front of the altar, looking at the tablets on it and fell into deep thought.

Because I knew no one would come up and I was thinking too seriously about it, I entered a state of emptiness and didn't even notice there was someone standing behind me.

"Jiang Qi."

In an extremely quiet place, a female voice suddenly sounded. You can imagine how terrifying it was. Although the owner of the voice had lowered her voice, it still scared Jiang Qi.

He turned around suddenly and bumped into the spirit platform, making a series of "ping-ling-dang-clang" sounds of things falling down.

By the time Jiang Qi saw who was coming, before she could say anything, the other party had already started shouting urgently.

"Jiang Qi! Get out of the way, you unlucky child!"

As soon as Jiang Qi finished speaking, Shi Jinhua pulled her aside and she hurried to pick up the things on the table.

Jiang Qi staggered two steps and almost fell, luckily Ming Luochun supported him in time.

Subconsciously, he said in a calm voice, "Thank you." Then he stood up straight, calmed down, looked at the people present, and then said, "Mom, why are you here?"

"I'll take A Yue and Xiao Luo Chun out for a walk." As she said this, she rearranged the things on the table.

"Walk?" Jiang Qi questioned.

"Yes." Shi Jinhua turned around and replied to her.

"Why are you here from Tingyu Tower?"

"I don't think about that. I'll bring them over to burn incense for your ancestor." After saying that, he raised his hand to call Ming Luochun and Lin Yue over, "Come, come over here and burn incense for the ancestor."

When Lin Yue and Ming Luochun heard the call, they stepped forward obediently, each taking a stick of incense and lighting it up one by one.

Jiang Qi stepped aside and watched them finish the incense burning process before she asked faintly, "Why didn't you come with me when I went out?"

She didn't ask anyone in particular, but when Ming Luochun and Lin Yue heard her ask this, they looked at each other and then looked at Shi Jinhua at the same time.

Jiang Qi also looked over there.

Shi Jinhua was stunned, and couldn't help laughing. He thought to himself: Are these two kids so afraid of Jiang Qi? Can't they even give an excuse?

Finally, she had no choice but to reply, "Didn't you say you were busy? I was afraid of disturbing you, so I brought them out by myself."

"Oh~" Jiang Qi looked at Shi Jinhua, frowned slightly, and dragged out a long sound meaningfully. But then he returned to his normal expression and asked with concern: "Are you hungry? Can I ask someone to take you to dinner?" The last two sentences were said to Lin Yue and Ming Luochun.

"I am still..."

"it is good."

Two voices sounded at the same time. Before Lin Yue could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ming Luochun's soft voice. Then he said directly to Jiang Qi: "Sister, little A Yue and I will go down first."

"Okay, just go down and tell people you want to have a meal. Anyone can be there." Jiang Qi responded gently.

Ming Luochun nodded slightly and turned to Lin Yue and said softly, "Let's go."

"But..." Lin Yue still wanted to refuse.

"obedient."

These two words were spoken very softly, and the speaker's expression was extremely gentle. But the next moment, Lin Yue responded with a "yes" and followed him obediently.

Jiang Qi and Shi Jinhua watched them go down.

When the people were out of sight, Shi Jinhua walked over to Jiang Qi and sighed, "I didn't expect that little Luo Chun is such a capable kid. He understood the hidden meaning of your words in just one sentence."

"I didn't expect that either." Jiang Qi also sighed. But she didn't expect that Lin Yue didn't understand her subtext.

"What do you want to tell me? Go ahead." Shi Jinhua went straight to the point.

"Oh, by the way. Why are you here?" Jiang Qi asked directly without beating around the bush.

"I won't tell you anymore. Bring them here to burn incense for your ancestors."

"Come on, you haven't set foot in Tingyu Tower since I took over it. If you wanted to bring them to burn incense, you would have just asked me to bring them. Why bother coming here in person?" Jiang Qi said sarcastically.

Shi Jinhua was irritated by Jiang Qi's tone and suddenly became anxious. "Who did you inherit this bad behavior from? Why are you so unreasonable? How can you talk like that? I'm your mother. Do I have to explain everything I do to you?"

Seeing Shi Jinhua's furious look, Jiang Qi's body trembled subconsciously. It was as if a fear was engraved deep in her soul, forcing her to rush forward and comfort him in a hurry: "No, no, no, I'm not kidding. Why are you so anxious? Come if you want. It's not a big deal. You don't have to be angry about this." She raised her hand and patted Shi Jinhua's back gently as if stroking his hair.

These body movements were all subconscious, and Jiang Qi completed and said this series of continuous actions and words without any pause.

She was used to living a flamboyant life in her previous life. In the past 25 years, she had never met anyone she was afraid of. Even if it was Jiang Huai, she was just afraid of him at most. And she didn't have to worry about pleasing him. So she just blurted out those words out of habit without even thinking about it.

Just like what she is saying and doing now.
