An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Zi Yi said with a determined look: "This slave girl will not leave!"

Qingyi's eyes were also determined, and she knelt with a look of determination: "Miss, please don't chase us away. Wherever you go, I will go."

Aunt Mi's eyes were already drooping with tears: "Of course I will not leave. Anyway, I have no children, and I want to die beside you."

Even Frosting knelt down, but didn't say anything and just shook his head. Even if he was stupid, he knew what was going on after walking around.

Jing Qiurong stopped trying to persuade them. She knew their tempers well and knew that no matter how much she tried to persuade them, they would not leave. "But if you follow me, I'm afraid you will suffer. The glory you once had will be gone, and you will probably have to live in fear even more."

"No matter how hard or tiring it is, we are still members of the Jing family."

"Anyway, I'll just follow Miss Ding."

Seeing them expressing their loyalty and determination, Jing Qiurong no longer had an appetite to eat. She helped them up one by one and sighed slightly.

Just thinking about what the situation in the General's Mansion would be like now? Would her father still be alive after being caned? Would her mother be able to withstand this blow? She was terrified at the thought.

But she has to take care of the things outside, only by doing so can she be worthy of those who follow her.

Chu Chunxi stood up and pushed his mother back onto the stool, saying, "When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Mother, eat!"

"Mother, eat!" Pu Ge'er had no idea what was going on outside, but he felt that his mother and the servants were a little strange today. Seeing his sister say that, he grabbed another big bun and stuffed it into his mother's hand.

Chu Chunxi: "Eat! Eat to have strength."

Pu Ge'er: "Let's have a fight after eating!" He raised his chubby little hands and slapped his sister, thinking that he was just joking like usual.

Chu Chunxi naturally cooperated with him, clapping his hands together: "After we finish eating, we have to win the battle!"

Jing Qiurong: "Yes, we will win the battle after eating!"

Looking at her sensible children, Jing Qiurong also perked up and took a big bite of the bun, but it was just like chewing wax. She chewed it a few times and swallowed it reluctantly.

Chu Chunxi ignored her and ate his fill. Eating was more important than anything else. Only when he was full would he have the strength to fight.

Then she rushed to see if the nanny and aunts had packed everything and which items needed to be put away. Pu Ge'er followed them happily, jumping and dancing all the way, as if he had endless energy and talking non-stop, but he was too careless to notice that the items disappeared one by one in front of his sister.

In the end, except for some extra clothes and bedding for my mother and brother, and the nanny and aunts' own packages, everything else was stuffed into the space.

As they expected, within half an hour, footsteps and noise were heard outside the courtyard gate, and then they knew that many people had come in without even a word from the maid.

"Jing!"

Jing Qiurong just listened to Aunt Mi's advice, ate a few bites reluctantly, lay on the bed, closed her eyes slightly to rest, and sorted out some things.

When she heard the noise, she stood up pretending nothing had happened, patted the wrinkles on her clothes, and straightened her hair which was not at all messy, before facing the aggressive Madam Hou, Old Liu, and Chu Xuan.

In the past, whenever she wanted to plunder her good things, Old Liu would call her "Qiu Rong" and "good daughter-in-law" in a friendly manner. However, her attitude changed quickly. Now, she coldly called her "Jing" as soon as she entered the door. Her voice was very cold and her expression was completely different. If you didn't know her, you would think she was a completely unrelated person or a vegetable seller who was cheated by her.

Chu Xuan, who came in afterwards, huddled at the back and pretended to be sad. Unfortunately, behind him was Concubine Liu, who was gloating and swaying her no longer slender waist. At the end were several burly servants and old women. It was obvious that they were coming in with arrogance and a menacing attitude.

That sanctimonious eunuch, who usually talks about filial piety, ethics, the Four Books and Five Classics, actually still has some dignity and did not come in person.

Chu Chunxi noticed that Aunt Liu's face had turned slightly red, and thought that the powder had begun to take effect.

"Why are you here?" Jing Qiurong looked at the group of people who came in aggressively. She didn't use any honorifics, but she still had a smile on her face, as if she didn't know what was happening outside.

But she caught sight of the mother and son from the corner of her eye. Their eyes met and they nodded. It was clear they had been plotting this all along. Just as the fairy aunt had predicted, it was no good news. If her daughter hadn't foreseen it, she wouldn't have known they were weasels coming to pay New Year's greetings to the chickens.

Both children were there. Pu Ge'er was held tightly by Chu Chunxi and did not stand up to greet them. Pu Ge'er had never seen his grandmother and father appear in his mother's courtyard at the same time, so he looked at them blankly. He struggled to get down, but his sister held him tightly. Seeing his sister was silent and motionless, Pu Ge was a little overwhelmed. Chu Xuan could not help but frown.

Old Lady Liu was used to observing rules, and she had never experienced such courtesy before. She couldn't help but yell angrily, "Jing, this is how you discipline your children. You have no rules at all!"

Jing Qiurong's expression was calm as she spoke slowly, "I think they've learned from your example. They were probably frightened when they saw you barging in without any notice. Children are ignorant, so please forgive me, mother-in-law."

"Xi'er, take Pu Ge'er out first!" There was no warmth in Chu Xuan's words, not to mention going forward to hug Pu Ge'er, who was a little dazed by his grandmother's words. He faced Jing Qiurong and their two children with his usual coldness, and there was obvious anger in his tone. He was touched by Jing Qiurong's sarcastic tone.

Jing Qiurong remained silent, and the two children didn't move either. Chu Chunxi was a little worried about Pu Ge'er's mood. She thought it would be better to take him out first to avoid hurting his young heart. "Mother Mi, please take Pu Ge'er out! Sister Xi hasn't seen her father for several days and misses him terribly."

Chu Xuan was stunned by this. His daughter didn't usually seem that close to him. Could this be a sudden change of heart? Was she trying to actively show him her affection? It was true, however, that he rarely set foot in Chaoxia Courtyard. After all, she was his eldest daughter. If she behaved well, she would definitely be able to earn a living in the Marquisate.

He didn't notice the slight curl of Chu Chunxi's mouth, revealing a hint of sarcasm.

Mi Mama took Pu Ge'er from the young lady and walked out without saying a word or bowing. But as soon as she left the house, she stuffed Pu Ge'er into Zi Yi's hands and went back in. She didn't come near them, but stood by the door like a quail, her hands hanging down, her head lowered, and she said nothing, but her ears pricked up with vigilance, worried that their girl had been wronged.

"What? Even a mother-in-law like me is not worthy of a stool when I come in?"
