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

Jing Chunxi waited until they had had enough of the fun before he said to them, "From now on, you can call him Prince."

It's easy to get confused between "Mr. Tao" and "Young Master Tao." There's no need to address them that way now; a proper title should be used. Especially when it comes to status, a proper title not only avoids confusion but also demonstrates respect and protocol.

"what!"

Chuntao and Tangsuan were stunned and confused. They glanced around the room, seemingly searching for the "prince" mentioned, but they weren't sure who it was.

Jing Chunxi: "Young Master Tao's last name isn't Tao, just call him Prince."

Although Tang Shuang was very curious and wanted to ask why, she immediately reacted after Chun Tao pinched her.

The two immediately replied: "Got it."

Breakfast is served.

The skin of the meat swallow is as thin as a cicada's wing. After cooking, it is crystal clear, with a chewy and crisp texture, and it will not become mushy even after being cooked for a long time. The filling is plump and juicy, and the meaty aroma is overflowing. Take a bite, and the fresh juice will burst in your mouth.

Jing Chunxi picked up a piece of meat swallow, blew on it gently, and put it into her mouth. After the first bite, she was amazed by the unique texture and taste. Sure enough, after two bites, Jing Chunxi fell in love with it.

Delicious food is indeed available everywhere, but the tastes vary slightly. This little meat dumpling can actually be so satisfying.

In the study in the front yard, only Xu Zize, Cheng Rui, and Cheng Zhi, the two brothers, and Qing Feng were present. The room was filled with the faint scent of ink, and the sunlight from outside shone through the half-open window lattice onto the desk, making it seem particularly peaceful.

Seeing Jing Chunxi come in, Xu Zize motioned her to sit in the empty seat next to him. Jing Chunxi smiled slightly, nodded lightly in thanks, and then slowly sat down.

She looked around and found that the expressions of her three cousins ​​were very natural, without any sense of strangeness or incongruity, and they seemed very familiar and warm.

According to Chuntao, they had already entered the front yard early in the morning. I'm afraid they hadn't just recognized their relationship, but had also poured out all their experiences and hardships over the past ten years. Judging by the smiles on the three brothers' faces, they must have had a very pleasant conversation.

"Miss Jing, do you know who we saw at the County Magistrate's Mansion?" Cheng Rui said this with a strange expression, his eyes filled with excitement and mixed emotions. Cheng Zhi, who was standing beside him, had tears in his eyes, and even Xu Zize had a look of joy on his face.

Jing Chunxi looked at the three of them, a trace of doubt rising in his heart. Did they run into old acquaintances? Old acquaintances who cared about each other? Or perhaps relatives.

But looking at their expressions, it was clear that something good had happened, which made Jing Chunxi wonder if there was another bloodline left in the Tao family. She frowned and shook her head slightly, indicating that she couldn't guess.

This time it was Xu Zize who answered. He smiled slightly and got straight to the point: "They saw Xiao Deyuan."

This time it was Jing Chunxi's turn to be stunned. She was not unfamiliar with the name Xiao Deyuan, but for a moment she couldn't remember who it was specifically, and she couldn't even think of who the surname was related to.

Seeing that she couldn't react, Xu Zize didn't keep her in suspense and said directly: "He is my second uncle, also the uncle of my cousins, and the father of Ah Heng and Ah Yue."

Jing Chunxi patted her head, then suddenly realized it was him! She exclaimed, "He joined the Crown Prince? Or the County Magistrate? Ah Heng clearly said he's not that kind of person." After saying this, she quickly covered her mouth. She realized that she had spoken out of turn. She really had no right to speak about the character of unrelated people, especially the relatives of the three brothers!

But he also felt that his idea was right. He had already entered the county magistrate's office, so it was no wonder that she took it for granted.

"He went in on purpose and was sent here to work as the prince's aide. This is the evidence he collected for us to bring out." Cheng Rui pointed to the desk in the study, where a stack of letters lay.

Jing Chunxi looked in the direction of his gesture and saw the letters neatly stacked together. Some of the papers had turned slightly yellow, and some had curled edges. It would probably not be easy to find a place to hide them in the county magistrate's mansion.

The two brothers were still terrified. That night, in the dark, they and their uncle suddenly bumped into each other in the study, and the three of them almost drew their swords and drew blood.

Fortunately, Chengzhi suddenly cried out in surprise, calling out "Big Brother" to alert Chengrui, and his uncle heard the sound. It was also because Ah Heng was sure that his father was not the kind of treacherous and treacherous person who would take advantage of others' misfortunes that they listened to their uncle's explanation with full vigilance.

Despite their suspicion and wariness, my uncle was delighted to see them. He was just wondering how to send the evidence he had collected, and to whom, when he suddenly found help.

Hearing this, Jing Chunxi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was relieved for Ah Heng and felt relieved for him. As expected, father and son are connected by heart. He still understood his father. This Lord Xiao had not let them down, had not let Aunt Wei's family down, and had even stepped forward to take risks for the Tao family. It was admirable.

Jing Chunxi smiled slightly and gave them a heartfelt sigh: "That's great! Aunt Wei didn't marry the wrong person, and Ah Heng and Ah Yue also have a good father!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Xu Zize thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Have my uncle and aunt already had a fake divorce?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Rui and Cheng Zhi nodded sadly. It was a fake divorce, but for the safety of both of them and Ah Heng's family, the divorce agreement had been approved by the government.

Cheng Rui sighed, tears welling up in his eyes. He said, "We wrongly blamed my uncle at first, but Ah Heng said that my uncle had given him instructions before he left. Now that I think about it, my uncle didn't intend to return alive. He came here with revenge in his heart."

Seeing the two brothers looking dejected, Jing Chunxi shook her head dissatisfiedly: "Lord Xiao went alone, he was completely a sheep in the belly of a wolf. Fortunately, no one noticed, otherwise..." She felt a headache just thinking about it, but she also admired his bloodiness very much. It's just that this scholar's temperament is a little stubborn, isn't it?

Xu Zize narrowed his eyes, but instead breathed a sigh of relief, and said meaningfully: "Don't be too sad, I think this is a good thing. I will arrange for a few people to enter the mansion to protect your uncle's safety."

Jing Chunxi was slightly taken aback. She understood the deeper meaning behind Xu Zize's words, but couldn't grasp it for a moment. Xu Zize continued, "But I still have to continue to wrong my aunt."

When he said this, although he didn't say it clearly, the eyes of Chengrui and Chengzhi both dimmed. The two brothers also understood the meaning in their hearts.

After a long time, the study was silent, with only the occasional sound of wind coming from outside the window and the branches and leaves outside the house rustling against the window frames.

Xu Zize glanced at Jing Chunxi and even moved his chair towards her. He looked at her with a serious expression, "The evidence collected by my uncle involves the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. Xi'er, do you want to take a look at the contents?"

Hearing this, Jing Chunxi's eyes were fixed on the stack of letters.

Seeing Jing Chunxi's expression, Xu Zize thought she was nervous. But he continued, "If we submit this stack of letters, along with the stack of letters from Jiujiang County, to the censors, the first ones to be executed will be the Taifu Mansion, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and several other families."

After Xu Zize finished speaking, he looked at Jing Chunxi nervously, his eyes unblinking, trying to see what emotions she had. He knew Jing Chunxi's past with the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, and understood her complicated feelings towards it.

"The Marquis of Pingyang Mansion has no relationship with our Jing family for a long time. Brother Xiaokang, my last name is Jing, not Chu! Even if the sky falls, it will not change." Jing Chunxi stared at him, pursed his lips slightly, and the attitude revealed in his eyes was very firm, not fake.

Finally, she even blurted out, "They won't just exile us, will they?" The meaning of her words was very clear. She wished that all the people in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion would be executed immediately.

"They are not the masterminds, and they shouldn't be. Even if they are exiled, children under ten years old can be pardoned." The Jing family had experienced this, so Jing Chunxi naturally understood it. However, after hearing Xu Zize's words, Jing Chunxi was still a little angry.

She bit her lip, her heart filled with resentment. Chu Qingfu (Fu'er), who had bullied her and her brother daily and even wanted to steal her brother's throne, was a year younger than her. With the year approaching, the case would definitely not be decided until next year. Even if it was delayed for another year or two, Fu'er would only be nine years old by then.

Jing Chunxi gritted his teeth, feeling sullen, and said, "He got it easy."

She thought to herself that, in this case, her original plan to place someone in Wenhua Academy would be useless, but she still felt unwilling and had no place to vent her anger.
