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

When July finished dressing herself and walked in again, Jing Chunxi was already dressed and sitting in front of the dressing table.

She looked at Qiyue in the mirror, her eyes filled with curiosity and confusion, and asked, "Did everything go so smoothly last night? Didn't you even need to explore the route in advance?"

Qiyue was combing Jing Chunxi's hair as she said with a smile, "The housekeeper has a blueprint of the Pingyang Marquis's mansion. Even the courtyard and room where Xiaolian lives are marked. We can find it right away once we go in."

There was a hint of relief in her tone, as if she didn't take last night's actions seriously at all. After hearing this, Jing Chunxi understood that Xiaolian had probably provided the drawings herself.

She nodded, feeling extremely relieved. After all, Jing Chunxi had arranged for Xiaolian to enter the Pingyang Marquis's residence. If anything went wrong, it would be her fault.

July continued to talk to herself, "Saving Xiaolian is none of our business. Our task is to sneak into Peng's yard and knock Peng, Liuli and the wet nurse unconscious. The key to the warehouse is on Liuli. Once we open the warehouse, we will soon find the large stack of indentures." There was a hint of pride in her voice, as if she was very satisfied with the completion of her mission.

July continued, "I only gave Xiaolian's contract to Brother Jing. The rest of the indentures were scattered in the small courtyards where the servants lived. I'm afraid there will be chaos in the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion today." Her voice was full of gloating, and she was very happy about the chaos that the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion was about to face.

Jing Chunxi thought of the servants of the Pingyang Marquis's mansion packing up their belongings and rushing off at dawn. It must have been a spectacular scene. Such an outcome would surely leave the Pingyang Marquis's masters in a state of embarrassment. The corners of her mouth lifted, revealing a hint of triumph.

After July finished speaking, she looked at the lady in the mirror and saw her smiling face. She knew they had done the right thing, and she felt relieved.

She thought for a moment and continued, "It's strange. There aren't many good things in Peng's warehouse. They're all too big and heavy to move. Some are even broken and tattered. There are also some worthless things."

"It must have been moved." Jing Chunxi thought to himself as he said this: There's no way Peng Shi didn't have a dowry. Even if she'd spent the money from selling the shop and farm, there's no way she'd have this little left in just two or three months. So the most likely scenario is that word of the matter has spread!

A trace of uneasiness flashed through her mind. If Peng had already transferred her property, then the Taifu Mansion and the Prince of Heping Mansion might also be transferred.

Thinking of this, Jing Chunxi was shocked. If that was the case, wouldn’t their trip be in vain?

Thinking of these things, Jing Chunxi suddenly became a little anxious, and hurriedly said to Qiyue: "Hurry up and call the master over!" She couldn't wait to discuss countermeasures with the master.

However, she soon felt that this was too slow and quickly changed her words, "No, hurry up, I'll go over there." In her haste, she wanted to rush out without even fixing her hair.

Seeing this, Qiyue quickly pulled her back and said, "Miss, please don't be anxious. Let me help you comb your hair first."

"Miss, Brother Jing is here." Jiu Yue's voice suddenly came from outside, interrupting Jing Chunxi's anxiety.

Jing Yi's voice also came in: "Xier! Something happened!" As expected, the person you are looking for is already outside.

Jing Chunxi felt a little relieved when she heard Jing Yi's voice. She quickly said, "Master, please go to the flower hall first. Jiuyue, start setting up the dinner. I'll come after I finish washing up."

After saying this, she stood up and shook her head in front of the bronze mirror as she responded. In terms of hair-combing skills, Qiyue was still far behind Chuntao, but at least she could still comb her hair neatly and smoothly, suitable for going out.

Because he was anxious to talk to his master, Jing Chunxi shortened the time he spent rinsing his mouth and washing his face by half. After a while, he ran into the hall and sat opposite his master.

When Jing Yi saw her come in, he smiled and said, "Xiao Lian is rescued!" He thought Jing Chunxi was still unaware of this and was in such a hurry, so he reminded her specifically.

However, Jing Chunxi hurriedly replied, "I understand!" She immediately expressed her concerns: "Master, Taifu Peng and the Crown Prince might transfer their property!"

Jing Yi shook his head and smiled. If the table wasn't a bit too big, he might have hit her on the head with his chopsticks. He said, "It's so worrying for a child. Master even asked someone to watch over her! Everything was fine last night. Neither family moved."

He glanced at Jing Chunxi, pushed the plate of dumplings on the table to her, and picked up a big bun and started to eat it.

Jing Chunxi felt a slight sense of relief after hearing her master's words. She knew that her master was always cautious. Since he said neither family had moved, then everything should be fine. She took a sip of soy milk before putting a dumpling into her bowl. The dumpling was filled with pork and cabbage, and it burst with juice, fresh and sweet.

Really delicious!

Ever since she had that dream the night before, Jing Chunxi had developed an inexplicable affinity and trust for her master, yet she was also deeply concerned about his safety. The dream was so vivid that it forced her to be on guard.

She certainly wouldn't want to sacrifice her master's life for the sake of those treasures. But the decision was made after she pleaded with her mother. She didn't know how much her mother had to persuade her master to make this trip to the capital possible.

She sighed slightly in her heart, feeling that she was in a difficult situation and didn't know what to do.

"Don't be afraid, Master is here. I promised your mother that nothing will happen to you."

Jing Yi looked at Jing Chunxi in front of him. She suddenly became silent, with a heavy expression on her face, as if she was worried about something. He thought she looked like that because she was afraid, so he comforted her softly.

His voice was low and gentle, with a reassuring power, as if telling Jing Chunxi that as long as he was there, there was nothing to be afraid of.

However, Jing Yi's words did not make Jing Chunxi feel better, but made her feel even more depressed.

Ever since returning from exile, she had been with her master, and they had taken many adventures together. Every time, her master put her safety first and never let her take risks.

But now, she had put her master in danger for a small sum of money. This thought filled her with guilt and self-blame. She felt that if she really disregarded her master's life for these material gains, her conscience would be fed to dogs, and she might even be punished by heaven.

If she was really so heartless, perhaps the fairy aunt she had invented would take her space back because of her greed, and even regret giving her this chance to be reborn.

This thought made her feel even more uneasy. She felt as if she was standing at a crossroads, not knowing how to choose.

Mainly because she thought that person was Jing Yi, Jing Chunxi suddenly felt a tugging pain in her heart. This feeling was so strange, something she had never experienced before. It was like a thin thread had entangled her heart, making her unable to escape.

She had no idea that her feelings for her master were not just gratitude and trust, but also an inexplicable emotion.

Jing Chunxi finished his breakfast with a heavy heart.
