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

When Jing Qiurong and Pu Ge'er's safety was mentioned, Jing Yi's brows furrowed.

A hint of hesitation arose in his heart. After all, the situation in Qingshan Villa and the capital was not yet completely stable, especially the shops and manors that had just been purchased from the Marquis' Mansion. In the short term, it was inevitable that some disputes would arise, and someone might even take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Jing Yi knew very well that these potential threats should not be underestimated and must be dealt with with caution.

He couldn't help but pause, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He couldn't let his family fall into danger because of a momentary negligence.

Seeing this, Jing Chunxi took the opportunity to use provocation, his tone carrying a hint of provocation: "Don't you have anyone under Uncle Jing who can be used? Will everything depend on you from now on?"

Sure enough, Jing Yi was so irritated by these words that he glared at her, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Girl, you are always so unforgiving when you speak."

Seeing Jing Yi's reaction, Jing Chunxi continued to exaggerate: "Uncle Jing, I've been learning from you for so long, so I should be able to escape now, right? Besides, I still have Qiyue, Jiuyue, and Xiaoman with me, so I won't lose my life, so don't worry."

She paused, and seeing Jing Yi still pondering, she added, "Besides, we have guards. Just explain it to Mother and tell her not to worry too much. This journey won't be more dangerous than our experience in exile!"

Jing Chunxi's words made Jing Yi fall into deeper thought.

Although Jing Chunxi was young, she was thoughtful, decisive, and capable of handling matters on her own. Furthermore, the proposal she proposed was not without merit.

If he could stay in Qingshan Villa and handle the affairs of the capital, and let Ah Qi accompany Jing Chunxi to Jiujiang County and Jian'an County with elite guards, it might be a best of both worlds.

After two days of careful consideration, Jing Yi finally reluctantly agreed to Jing Chunxi's plan.

He decided to stay in Qingshan Villa and personally take care of Jing Qiurong and Pu Ge'er, while dealing with any possible troubles in the capital.

Ah Qi, accompanied by thirty skilled guards, went to Jiujiang County and Jian'an County with Jing Chunxi to carry out the plan of purchasing tea and ceramics.

After the two reached a consensus, Jing Yi immediately began making preparations for the trip. After all, with so many people traveling, they needed to prepare enough carriages, luggage, and dry food in advance. Especially since winter was about to arrive, thick clothes and bedding had to be prepared to prevent catching a cold on the road.

At the same time, their biggest task was to convince Jing Qiurong.

The four of them sat around the dinner table. As soon as Jing Chunxi proposed his plan, Jing Qiurong's face darkened slightly.

She put down her chopsticks, looked at her daughter sharply, and said in a calm but unquestionable tone, "No! This time, your uncle Jing must go with you, so that mother can feel at ease."

Jing Qiurong didn't expect her mother to be so tough. She felt a little dissatisfied and couldn't help but retort, "Mother, I'm not a child anymore. Why are you always worried about me? You were obviously not like this before."

Actually, the "before" Jing Chunxi mentioned was when her family was confiscated. Before that, she was actually only seven or eight years old.

A complex expression flashed across Jing Qiurong's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She raised her chin slightly, her tone dignified, "Sister Xi, it's not that I'm worried about you, but the situation outside is much more complicated than you imagined."

Although the road to exile was dangerous, your mother could still feel at ease because your grandfather and third uncle were there.

But this time is different. How can mother trust you to handle such a big thing alone? If something goes wrong along the way, how can mother and brother bear it? "

Pu Ge'er, who had been silent all the time, also held Jing Chunxi's hand tightly when he heard this, but compared to the last time his sister was exiled, he was much calmer, so he did not follow his mother's example to dissuade her.

Jing Chunxi was a little annoyed, but she also understood her mother's concerns. She took a deep breath and tried to convince her mother with a firmer tone: "Mom, I'm grown up and can handle things on my own. Besides, I have thunderstorms and lightning! They're not ordinary. If we really encounter danger, they're more reliable than anyone else."

When mentioning thunderstorms and lightning, Jing Chunxi's tone became more confident. No matter what, she was going to bring two big guys this time.

These two little wolves have grown very fast since drinking the water from the space well. Now they are strong and smart. They seem to be able to understand human language and obey Jing Chunxi's commands very well.

Not only can they bite wild boars and chase roe deer, Jing Chunxi even believes that if a pack of wolves appears again, they will definitely not recognize any relatives.

Seeing the mother and daughter arguing, Jing Yi spoke to smooth things over: "Miss, the young lady is right, she is no longer the little girl who needed constant protection.

Her performance during her exile was enough to prove her ability. I will make it clear to Ah Qi and ask him to prioritize the young lady's safety.

This trip to Jiujiang and Jian'an is also for the old general and the Third Master's plan. It is a matter of great importance and cannot be delayed."

When Jing Qiurong heard the names of her father and third brother, her expression froze slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She was silent for a moment, then finally sighed, her tone a little helpless, yet still firm: "You are right, Sister Xi has indeed grown up. Mother doesn't want to restrict you, but I am really worried. Mother doesn't want you to experience any danger again."

She paused, her eyes fixed on Jing Chunxi, her tone unwavering, "However, since you insist on going, Mother won't stop you. But you must promise Mother two things: First, you must write back every few days to let Mother know your whereabouts; second, if you encounter any danger, you must protect yourself first and never act recklessly."

Seeing that his mother had finally relented, Jing Chunxi quickly nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, mother, I will be very careful and will never put myself in danger. You can just wait for me at home."

Only then did Jing Qiurong's eyes soften. Facing Jing Yi who was looking at her worriedly, she finally curled the corners of her mouth.

After finishing his meal, Jing Chunxi pulled his mother aside to spend some time with her, which reassured her enough to let her know that he was going to do something important, and that things would go more smoothly without Jing Yi.

When she returned to her room, Lei Yu and Lightning immediately came to greet her, lying on the left and right of Jing Chunxi's feet, rubbing her legs with their heads from time to time, as if to comfort her.

Gently stroking their heads, Jing Chunxi said with a smile, "You two big guys, you must protect me well this time."

Thunderstorm and Lightning growled, responding to Jing Chunxi's words.
