When eating breakfast, everyone was relaxed and seemed to be used to it.

Qiyue and Jiuyue were already accustomed to eating at the same table with their master, and Xiaoman was now quite casual with the young lady. Ah Qi was even more accustomed to large occasions, and knew that the young master must have something to tell him, so he calmly began to eat in silence.

Only Chongsan seemed uneasy. He sat at the table, unsure of how to eat. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet, staring at the empty bowl in front of him, unable to even hold his chopsticks steady.

Ah Qi, seeing his unpresentable appearance, felt ashamed for him. He couldn't help but frown and whispered, "Did you get a nail stuck in your butt? You can't even sit still?"

After hearing what Ah Qi said, Chongsan became even more nervous and lowered his head, not daring to say a word.

He was not afraid of Jing Chunxi, the nine-year-old young master, but because there happened to be two young girls, July and September, sitting opposite him.

Although Chongsan was already in his early twenties, he was used to the military camp, eating and sleeping with a group of rough men, and had never felt uncomfortable. But now, facing two young girls, he felt like a tiger or a wild beast. He felt uncomfortable all over, and even his breathing was a little rapid.

July and September seemed to notice Chongsan's embarrassment. They looked at each other, their lips slightly raised, but they didn't say much. They pretended not to see it, but both of them turned slightly to the side.

They just found Chongsan's reaction a little funny, and also thought that he was a simple and honest person.

Jing Chunxi sat at the head table, her eyes sweeping across the crowd before finally settling on Chongsan. She noticed his discomfort, but didn't point it out. She simply said, "Let's eat first, and then we'll talk business."

After hearing this, everyone continued to eat breakfast. Chongsan was still a little uncomfortable, but under the intimidating gaze of Ah Qi, he managed to calm down and carefully picked up a piece of pickled vegetable and put it in his mouth. He couldn't scoop the porridge by himself, so Chuntao finally helped him.

Although the atmosphere of breakfast was a bit subtle, no one said much, as people said, "Eat without talking."

After breakfast, Tang Shuang and Chun Tao cleared the dishes and left. Jing Chunxi looked at everyone, her expression becoming serious. She slowly said, "I called everyone here today because I have something important to discuss with you."

Everyone looked at her, waiting for the lady's next words.

Jing Chunxi took a deep breath and continued, "Everyone has seen the situation in Xunyang City. The people are starving and freezing, but the government is doing nothing and is trying every possible way to squeeze the money they need to survive. Since we have the ability, we can't just sit back and watch. I plan to..."

Before she finished speaking, a glint of excitement flashed in July and September's eyes. They had long hated the government officials, and hearing about Jing Chunxi's plan, they couldn't help but feel hopeful.

Ah Qi's expression was solemn, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was considering the feasibility of this plan. But he knew he had no way to refute it, and his opinion could only be used as a reference. The purpose of his trip was to cooperate with the young lady. His elder brother had given him instructions before he left, and his aunt had also given him many instructions.

Although Chongsan was still a little nervous, after hearing Jing Chunxi's words, his expression became focused and he no longer treated the two people opposite him as tigers.

Jing Chunxi felt a little relieved as she watched everyone's reactions. She knew the next move would be fraught with danger, but as long as everyone worked together, there was a chance of success.

And she is the key to success.
