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

In the front yard, Tao Jin glanced around but didn't see Qingfeng, Ah Qi and the others. He didn't know which room they had entered. They might contact each other and ask for some details, so they probably wouldn't be able to come out for a while.

"Open the front door."

After hearing Tao Jin's instructions, Chuntao saw that no one else responded and was about to step forward.

At this time, a guard ran out of the house and hurriedly saluted Tao Jin respectfully.

He did not open the door immediately, but hesitated for a moment, trying to lead them to the front hall: "Master, do you want some tea?"

Jing Chunxi followed Tao Jin and was already feeling a little tired. Even before she saw a chair, she subconsciously wanted to sit down on the steps.

Frosting dashed straight over and stared at the coffee table in the front hall, wondering where the teapot was. She was also very thirsty, but she wanted to take care of her master more.

Before Jing Chunxi even sat down, Tao Jin had already waved to the guards: "No need! Let's go now."

Tang Shuang and Chun Tao were stunned when they heard Tao Jin's words. Does this mean they don't have to wait for anyone?

However, Tao Jin ignored him and simply said to Jing Chunxi, "If you are tired, go back first. There is tea in the carriage, and dinner should be served at home."

There was no tone of negotiation in these words. Chuntao and Tangshuang didn't dare to say anything. The guard also turned around quickly and walked out to open the door.

Tao Jin looked at Tang Shuang and Chun Tao and said in a commanding tone, "Your carriages and horses are outside. Wait until they come out and then go back together."

After saying that, regardless of Jing Chunxi's tired and reluctant look, he pulled her and walked quickly towards the gate.

Jing Chunxi had no choice but to wave to Tang Shuang and Chun Tao and say, "I'll wait for you at home."

The three of them were a little confused. They originally thought that they would drink some tea and rest for a while before returning through the secret passage. However, they did not expect that their return carriages had already been arranged.

Jing Chunxi was helped onto the carriage by Tao Jin, and thought to himself: That's good, I don't have to walk in the dark secret passage anymore, and I don't have to walk by myself.

The carriage started slowly. Jing Chunxi sat in the carriage and looked at the alley outside the gap in the curtain. Although it was called a small alley, it was actually quite wide. Two carriages could go side by side. Moreover, at this time, the alley was still very quiet.

Tao Jin seemed to understand what she was thinking and explained, "The goods are usually unloaded in the middle of the night or early morning, and the people unloading them have already gone to bed."

Tao Jin sat opposite, looked at Jing Chunxi with a smile, and asked softly, "Are you feeling dizzy?"

He poured a cup of tea from the tea table and gently placed it in her palm. The tea was still hot.

Jing Chunxi squinted his eyes uncomfortably and whispered, "I don't seem to have enough energy."

She hadn't felt anything special in the secret passage, thinking it was quite fun. But once she emerged, breathing heavily and feeling relieved, she suddenly felt dizzy and exhausted, as if she was about to collapse.

Pointing to the teacup in her hand, Tao Jin said, "Don't drink too quickly. Take two sips slowly."

He also reminded her: "Don't stay in there for too long next time. Try to bring the goods in from this side of the house. It's closer to the basement."

Jing Chunxi obediently did not dare to drink water in large gulps. After taking two sips of tea, he felt his mind became much clearer and gradually recovered, but he still felt tired.

She nodded obediently: "I understand! The guards have to take turns to carry the things. Fortunately, there are many of us, so we can go in in batches without getting dizzy."

Seeing that her face had finally regained some redness, Tao Jin couldn't help but touch her little head and said with a smile: "You've learned to be smart!"

But as soon as he touched her hair, Jing Chunxi shook his head and dodged. She was worried that someone had messed up her hair.

Tao Jin looked disappointed, while Jing Chunxi tilted his head and teased him: "I'll be back after dinner!"

In fact, she was a little reluctant to leave. She had run so far to finally see such a familiar person, and she felt a little uncomfortable at the thought of separation soon.

Tao Jin glared at her and said, "Even if you don't look at the secret passage in the front yard, you should at least accompany your brother to see Mulan Courtyard, right?"

The obvious tone of persuasion made Jing Chunxi feel comfortable. He smiled and nodded, saying, "That's fine!"

It was her original intention to visit Mulan Courtyard, but she was worried that she wouldn't be able to see it and wanted to find an excuse to avoid it.

Seeing her expression and the perfunctory words she didn't say, Tao Jin smiled and said, "I didn't tell you about the mechanism in the rockery."

Jing Chunxi wasn't very interested in that place and said, "Let's go to the garden together when Uncle Qi comes back."

Seeing that Jing Chunxi didn't want to talk much, he knew she might still be a little dizzy, so he sat over and let her lean on his shoulder, and even lifted the curtain a little to let her breathe. He said, "Rest for a while. This way, you have to go around three alleys and two main streets, and it will take more than a quarter of an hour to walk."

"Ah? So far." Jing Chunxi was startled. She raised her head slightly, but Tao Jin pressed it onto her shoulder again.

She widened her eyes, unable to believe that they had walked so far. It was clear that they had not walked for very long just now!

Tao Jin explained: "The first basement is under the garden. But now the street is not in a straight line."

Jing Chunxi was speechless, but he also understood that the further they went, the safer it might be for them, and it would be less likely for them to suspect his house.

She suddenly thought of something and asked Tao Jin hurriedly, "What's your maternal grandfather's surname?"

Chuntao reminded her early in the morning that the name of the mansion on the gate of the house had been removed, and they didn't even know which street the house was located on. They always felt that it was a bit inconvenient to do things this way.

Tao Jin was slightly stunned when he heard her question, then replied: "My last name is Tao!"

As if suddenly waking up, Jing Chunxi's face flashed with anger. He suddenly sat up straight and cursed in a low voice: "Your father is such a scumbag!"

Tao Jin...

He was speechless for a moment when he heard this. He knew that the little girl had already lumped his father and her scumbag father together.

This idea is actually normal. If the child is not cut off from the family, how could he take the mother's surname?

He wanted to explain, but when he saw the little girl's angry face, which seemed a little fierce, and she seemed to be willing to risk her life for him, a warm feeling arose in his heart.

Looking at him again, her eyes were full of sympathy. She felt wronged because of him, and her eyes began to turn slightly red. She even leaned towards him involuntarily, as if she was standing on the same side with him.

Tao Jin didn't say anything else. Instead, he felt warm in his heart and hugged the little girl's shoulders.

At the same time, in a magnificent mansion in Zhaoqing Prefecture in Lingnan, a tall, handsome middle-aged man was sitting in his study, holding a letter with a frown on his face.

Suddenly, he sneezed three times in succession.

He stopped what he was doing and touched his nose: Who is talking bad about me behind my back?
