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

When everyone sat together to eat, the room was filled with the aroma of food, and the warm yellow light shone on everyone's face, making it seem particularly cozy.

Jing Chunxi smiled at Ah Heng and said softly, "Ah Heng, go play with Xiao Man after dinner. He always thinks about you and bought gifts for you and your sister."

Ah Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to pick up the rice in his bowl, his expression full of excitement. The time they had spent together had already made them develop a deep bond, and Ah Heng also missed Xiao Man a little. Xiao Man had contacted him and taught him martial arts, and they got along very well.

Jing Chunxi looked at Aunt Wei and continued, "I sent a letter home when I left Jian'an County. They should have received it by now. My family must be waiting anxiously, so we can't delay too long. Let's sign the contract tomorrow and set off immediately."

She had only come to this decision after discussing it with Ah Qi. As long as they drafted the contract tonight and there were no disagreements tomorrow, they could sign it and have a simple meal together, and the trip would be done.

This way, I can return to Qingshan Villa earlier. Although the outside world is wonderful, home is the warmest harbor. Going back early can also make my family feel at ease.

After hearing this, Aunt Wei and Chengzhi both expressed their understanding. They also knew that they had been out for too long, so they didn't try to keep them.

Aunt Wei nodded gently and whispered, "It's better for you to go back early. Your family must be looking forward to it." Chengzhi also nodded, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but more of understanding.

But A Yue, who was sitting next to him, suddenly pulled Jing Chunxi's sleeve hard, her eyes full of reluctance. She didn't cry or speak, but just held the sleeve tightly, and it was obvious that she was very sad.

Jing Chunxi felt a slight pang in her heart when she saw Ah Yue's expression. She touched Ah Yue's little head again and comforted her softly, "Don't be sad Ah Yue, I will come to see you again."

She then said to Aunt Wei and the few people in front of her, "Now we have businesses in Jiujiang County and Jian'an County, and they come to see our Ayue and Aheng every year." She knew that Ayue was still young and was particularly sensitive to separation and needed more comfort.

Ah Heng, who had been looking downcast just now, suddenly brightened up when he heard this. He nodded excitedly and suddenly said, "If the academy is on vacation, can Sister Xi take me with her when she goes to Jian'an City?"

A Yue also understood what her brother meant. She pulled Jing Chunxi's sleeve tighter and kept looking at her with eyes full of expectation, which meant that she also wanted to see her father.

Jing Chunxi didn't dare to answer directly, and could only comfort her: "There will definitely be a chance." She thought about it and felt that it was normal for her to go out with a younger brother or sister.

Looking at Aunt Wei again, if she was willing to dress up as his mother or serve his aunt, it should not be too difficult for her to meet Lord Xiao. No one in Jian'an City would know them.

She silently thought in her heart that if she had the chance, she would definitely help them realize this wish. Otherwise, the family would be separated and worried about each other all the time, not knowing when they would be able to reunite. It was too heartbreaking.

Suddenly thinking of something, Jing Chunxi dug into his sleeve pocket and pulled out a black wooden plaque with words engraved on it. He handed it to Aunt Wei and said, "If you encounter any difficulties, take this with you to see County Magistrate Jiang."

Aunt Wei looked at Jing Chunxi with suspicion, as if she didn't understand. Jing Chunxi gave her a comforting look and said, "Jiang Jun Shou is one of us."

She knew that Aunt Wei might not understand the situation outside very well, so she needed to give her a clear support.

Jing Chunxi didn't tell them how the current officials in Xunyang City were arranged, or who arranged them. If anyone should tell them, it should be Xu Zize who told them directly. She just wanted Aunt Wei and the children to have a safe place to rely on, so that others could feel at ease while they worked outside.

Ah Heng looked at Jing Chunxi with sparkling eyes, as if he saw some precious treasure. Perhaps he felt that Jing Chunxi had given them a backer, and infinite hope surged in his heart.

He whispered, "Sister Xi, with you here, we are not afraid of anything."

Jing Chunxi smiled at him, his eyes full of relief: "Study hard with cousin Chengzhi, your father is waiting for you, don't let him down." Ah Heng nodded repeatedly like pounding garlic, his face full of joy.

He knew in his heart that Jing Chunxi's words were not only a comfort, but also an expectation. He must work hard so that he can better help his father and the Tao family in the future.

Jing Chunxi then said to Aunt Wei, "If it's not a big deal and you don't want to see County Magistrate Jiang, you can go to the county office and see County Magistrate Tong. Just mention Jing Changning's name." Upon hearing the surname Jing, Aunt Wei looked up and nodded, her heart filled with gratitude. She knew Jing Changning must be Miss Jing's family member.

But Aunt Wei was very cautious and didn't want to cause trouble for her husband and the prince, so she said to Chengzhi and Ah Heng, "Let's try not to cause trouble!"

At Chengzhi's age, he naturally knows the principle of trying not to trouble others. If you use some favors too much, it will make people annoyed and wear away other people's kindness.

So, he nodded firmly. Ah Heng also nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes. They both understood that although the outside world was complicated, as long as they stayed within the law, they would not get into unnecessary trouble.

Jing Chunxi smiled again and said, "You live a stable life and the children learn something. This is the greatest comfort to the prince and Lord Xiao. For other things, you don't have to take risks."

When he said the last sentence, Jing Chunxi looked at Ah Heng, then at Cheng Zhi: "If Jian'an didn't give the order, then you shouldn't wear your original clothes anymore. You have the Crown Prince, your father, and your cousin Chengrui above you. And here you have the Governor of Jiang County and the Magistrate of Tong. You have nothing to do with them."

Ah Heng is young, and Chengzhi’s main task after returning is to take care of his aunt’s family.

Therefore, they should not take risks anymore. What they need is a stable life and opportunities to learn.

Chengzhi and Ah Heng both nodded. They understood what Jing Chunxi meant. Naturally, he meant that they should stop pretending to be beggars and stop randomly gathering information.

If they hadn't been burdened with a deep family feud, they wouldn't have taken such a risk. Now that so many people are helping them, they will naturally do what they should do and won't make any more mistakes, so that their brother (cousin) and elders can rest assured.

Ah Heng said softly, "Sister Xi, we all know. We will behave well and not cause you any trouble."

Chengzhi looked at Jing Chunxi with a determined look on his face and said, "Brother Chengzhi will also take the imperial examination if there is a chance."
