After Qu returned to the room, she asked Yinxing to guard the door. Only she, Wen Qianqian and Ginkgo were in the room.

After she put Wen Qianqian back into the crib, her face suddenly darkened.

"Qianqian, what have you done that your mother doesn't know about?"

Wen Qianqian was startled.

[Mom, why are you so angry? Qianqian didn't do anything. ]

"Don't try to hide it from me. Tell me, what did you do to deserve His Majesty's gift of this million ounces of gold?"

Qu's words were rarely harsh and stern.

Wen Qianqian originally wanted to keep it a secret, but now she knew that if she continued to hide it, her mother would probably get very angry.

She could only lower her head weakly.

【Mother, I was wrong.】

"Where did you go wrong?"

[I shouldn’t have told the emperor’s uncle’s fortune.]

Qu's eyelids twitched and her eyes widened.

"W-what did you say?"

[Yesterday, when my mother was performing a ritual for Sister Yinliu, my uncle the Emperor came to my room and asked me about his life span. I told him the truth.]

"Fortune telling...what did you predict?"

[I calculated that my uncle would die under the sword. ]

Qu was almost frightened to the point of fainting.

It would be fine if I could live longer, but this is the result.

His Majesty did not get angry, but instead bestowed them with ten thousand taels of gold, which helped them escape disaster.

When she thought about the possibility that His Majesty would be furious because of Qianqian's horrific fate, Qu felt a chill down her spine.

Moreover, His Majesty had actually come to the mansion in person, but she had no idea about it at all.

But if you think about it carefully, if His Majesty secretly left the palace, no one would know as long as he didn't want to.

The palace guards are no pushovers. It is easy for them to avoid the eyes and ears of a small centurion's mansion and bring His Majesty in.

"you you……"

Qu didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a moment, she said coldly, "You are not allowed to drink milk before going to bed tonight, and you are not allowed to drink milk before going to bed until you are one month old."

Qu's words directly strangled Wen Qianqian's lifeline.

[No! Mother! Qianqian was wrong. Qianqian will never tell fortunes for Uncle-in-law again!]

Ginkgo could hear Wen Qianqian's inner voice and seeing her extremely aggrieved expression, she felt a little sorry for her and couldn't help but plead for her.

"Miss, you can't blame the Fourth Miss for this. After all, that's His Majesty. If the Fourth Miss doesn't tell you, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor..."

Qu's eyes were slightly red.

"How could I not know? I just don't want Qianqian to be involved in these dangerous things."

"I know she is extraordinary, but this kind of extraordinaryness will bring about fatal disasters."

"I don't ask for anything, I just hope she can live a safe and smooth life."

"But now... think about it, if something happens to Qianqian in the future, how can I, a woman, protect her?"

After hearing this, Ginkgo finally understood why Qu was so angry today.

She was worried that someone would know of the Fourth Young Miss's magical powers and take advantage of them, leading to her death.

"Miss, I dare to say something."

"You want Miss Four to live a simple life, but what if Miss Four is not born to live a simple life?"

Qu took a deep breath.

She didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit that her precious daughter was destined to be a special one.

"I am being selfish."

Ginkgo knelt down quickly.

"That is not what the slave meant. Please atone your sin, young lady."

"Get up, I don't blame you. I just suddenly figured it out. You're right, maybe she wasn't born to live a simple life, and it's useless for me to force her. Now, I can only try to make myself stronger and have the strength to protect her."

Qu said this and looked at Wen Qianqian who dared not say a word.

"Qianqian, I don't blame you. I blame myself for being so useless."

Wen Qianqian quickly shook her head.

[No, mother is not useless! Mother was born with a delicate and sacred heart. As long as you get close to mother, Qianqian can obtain endless spiritual power. ]

[Mom, if Qianqian is a tree, then you are the nutrients of that tree. ]

[So, mother, you are not useless. As long as you are well, Qianqian will be well. ]

Qu was half-believing and half-doubting.

"really?"

【Real! More real than pearls! 】

Finally, Qu smiled a little.

"Then it seems that mother is finally of some use."

Wen Qianqian took the opportunity to ask: [Then mother...can Qianqian drink milk at night? ]

Qu was helpless.

"Drink it! Hey!"

As she was talking, Yin Xing spoke up from outside: "Miss, Miss Liao is here. I've asked someone to invite her to the flower hall for tea first."

Miss Liao is Liao Hui, who is engaged to Wen Chengting, the eldest son of the Qu family.

Qu was stunned and let Yinxing in.

"Why is Hui Niang here?"

"I don't know...but I heard from the people below that Miss Liao's eyes were red, as if she had just cried."

When Qu heard this, she guessed what was going on.

She sighed heavily and said, "Let's go to the flower hall."

Wen Qianqian quickly reached out her hand.

[Mother! Hug! Qianqian also wants to see her future sister-in-law.]

Qu couldn't persuade Wen Qianqian, so she had to let Yinxing carry the person.

All the way there, Qu looked worried.

She guessed that since she did not accept the tokens from Ting'er and Hui Niang that day, Ting'er asked Xiao Dezi to deliver the tokens directly to the Liao family.

really.

As soon as Qu entered the flower hall, she saw Liao Hui holding their engagement bracelet in her hand.

"aunt……"

When Hui Niang saw her come in, she quickly put down the teacup, stood up and bowed to Qu.

"Hurry up, we are all family, no need to be polite."

Qu quickly reached out and helped Hui Niang up.

Hui Niang was about to speak when tears fell first.

Qu hurriedly handed over the handkerchief.

"Good boy, stop crying and tell me, what happened?"

Hui Niang cried, "Yesterday I received a bracelet from Xiao Dezi. He said, he wanted me to come to his house to cancel the engagement. Hui Niang didn't know what I had done wrong, so I came here to ask..."

Qu's eyes went dark and she almost fainted from anger.

Things turned out just as she expected!

She told Xiao Dezi that day that breaking off the engagement would make Hui Niang a laughing stock among the people in the capital. As a result, her good-for-nothing son let Hui Niang propose to break off the engagement herself.

Hui Niang will no longer be a laughing stock because the person whose engagement was broken off was Wen Chengting himself.

But Hui Niang's heart was also deeply broken.

Qu was both angry and distressed.

"Hui Niang, don't cry, I'm here to help you!"

Hui Niang's tears stopped.

Qu continued, "It's just... I also want to ask you, have you really thought it through and want to marry Ting'er?"

"What do you mean, Aunt? Hui Niang only has Brother Ting in her heart, so naturally, she will marry him."

Qu helped Hui Niang sit down before speaking again.

"What I mean is, have you ever considered whether Ting'er's current situation can bring you happiness? If his situation can never get better, are you still willing to marry him?"

"He has not seen anyone for a long time. Not to mention others, he even refuses to see me."

"Except Xiao Dezi, no one can step into his room."

"This shows that his condition is worse than when he started."

"he……"

Without waiting for Qu to finish, Hui Niang said directly: "Hui Niang is willing to marry!"
