Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

When Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Liu raised her eyes in surprise and frowned:

"It's time to build a house. The family is growing. Your brother and two younger brothers will all start their own families in the future..."

But when it comes to building a house, Liu is worried about whether the family has enough money.

Qu Jingyao smiled and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry about these things! Everything will be fine in the future."

Liu sighed, a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes, and she whispered that the burden of the family suddenly fell on them, the brothers and sisters.

"Don't think too much, Mom. Actually, your daughter is living a fulfilling life right now. Don't worry, Mom. Trust us."

Liu murmured softly as she served herself some food. She suspected her father was not dead, but if he was not dead, how could he have been gone for so long?

When Qu Jingyao heard what Liu said, she was suddenly stunned. She asked her mother if she knew anything, or...

"Mother doesn't know either. Maybe I'm just too suspicious. But your father knows some martial arts. He's been running around in the mountains with your grandfather since he was a child. Why would he fall off a cliff? Besides, we never found him, and only brought back a bloody piece of clothing..."

Liu told her daughter about the suspicions she had for a long time and told her not to tell her brother about it, lest he...

"Mom, I understand. Don't worry. If Dad is okay, he will come back sooner or later."

Liu nodded with a melancholy look on her face, and then called her to bring all the food into the house. Didn't she say she was going up the mountain? Then she should finish her meal early and go up before it gets dark, otherwise the mountain road would be difficult to walk on.

"Madam, let me bring it to you." Bai Guo stepped forward and took it.

In the yard, Qu Qingchen washed his hands, moved the kang table from the main room and returned to the west room.

Xiaoyang in the room also woke up at this time. He was still a little restrained when he saw the relatives who suddenly appeared in front of him. His temperament was quieter than his brother's. Xiaochen was still chattering beside him, telling him about how he helped his sister negotiate business today.

"By the way, mother, my sister said she would send us to school."

When Xiaoyang heard this, a light flashed in his eyes for a moment, but it quickly dimmed.

Right now, she and her mother are living in her eldest uncle's family home, so they can't ask others to support their education in the future!

"Hurry up, it's time to eat." Liu's mother and daughter and Bai Guo walked in with food.

Xiaoyang could smell the fragrant chicken soup from far away, and his stomach started to growl involuntarily.

He raised his eyes and just saw everyone's chuckles, and his ears instantly turned red with embarrassment.

"Let's eat, Xiaoyang is hungry."

Liu said as she placed a bowl of eggs in front of him. Yue Niang looked at the sumptuous meal on the table and said embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law, this is too expensive."

"Don't think too much. Take care of yourself first. You'll understand everything later. These are all hunted by Dabai in the mountains."

As they were talking, Qu Jingyao and his sister also sat down on the kang.

This time, Baiguo did not eat with the masters, but came to the kitchen alone. Let her family have a good reunion dinner today.

During the meal, Qu Jingyao noticed Xiaoyang's reservedness and gently reassured him not to be nervous, saying that everyone here was his family and he could do whatever he wanted in the future.

"In a few days, when you are well again, I will send you and Xiaochen to school in town. Our family will depend on you, Xiaoyang, in the future. Xiaochen talked to me and he said he is not interested in this and wants to do business. We have agreed that no matter whether he can pass the exam to become a scholar or not, I will take him to learn business together."

After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Yue Niang opened her mouth and looked at Qu Qingchen.

Liu understood Yue Niang's meaning at a glance, and explained to her that Qingchen was already too old to go to school, and she had already taught Qingchen and his siblings everything she could, and he was not interested in this either, so she, as his mother, did not force him.

"Little aunt, don't feel burdened."

Qu Qingchen actually always wanted to join the army, but he was worried about his mother and sister, so...

Liu looked at the two children eating with relish and felt happy too.

Qu Jingyao also told her brother about her idea of ​​building a house. She also needed to find someone to reclaim the wasteland. If she did it herself, she would be exhausted. Besides, she couldn't miss the good opportunity to plant crops.

"Brother, we will move our father's grave tomorrow."

After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Liu remembered that Cui Lian had reminded her before she left that the people from the coffin shop would come early the next morning.

The meal ended with Liu and Yue Niang chatting. Looking at Yue Niang whose eyes were red from crying, she took Bai Guo out of the yard.

Before leaving, she reminded her brother to take good care of Xiaoyang at night. The medicine had already been boiled and was kept warm in the kitchen.

"Are you going up the mountain?"

"Well, I'll have to ask my brother to look after Xiaoyang and his brothers at night for now. Once the house is built, we'll have more space to live in."

Qu Qingchen smiled and told Baiguo to let her master stay longer and be careful in the mountains at night.

Qu Jingyao blinked mysteriously and told his brother not to worry, and not to forget to get up early and wait for him in the woods in Baiguo, and to do so every day.

"Don't worry, I know."

After the brother and sister finished talking, Qu Jingyao took Baiguo and walked towards the back mountain. Baiguo didn't understand why his master wanted to stay in the mountain at night?

"Master, what are we doing..."

Qu Jingyao asked Baiguo as they walked, can she trust her completely?

She didn't want all her secrets to be revealed to her former master.

"Master, rest assured, as long as this slave has promised, I will never go back on my word. I will never betray you at any time in the future."

As she spoke, she took out a dagger and slashed her arm cleanly, then knelt in front of Qu Jingyao and swore an oath.

She took a step forward and gently picked up the ginkgo. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and the smile in her eyes became more sincere.

"Okay, I believe you. From now on, if anything strange happens to me, I hope you will keep it a secret. Otherwise..."

"Master, rest assured. I'll remember this."

As soon as she finished speaking, the master and servant had just arrived at the back mountain when Bai Xue appeared and came to her with a low growl.

"Master, are you here?"

"Um, Snow White, where's Dabai?"

"It's on the mountain. Does the owner need it for something? I'll go and call it back."

Qu Jingyao instructed Bai Xue to find Dabai and then meet up with her at the cave entrance in front of her.

Snow White growled and ran quickly up the mountain.

"Master, do you want to stay in the cave at night? Then I should prepare some things, otherwise it will be a bit cold at night."

"No problem, you'll know when the time comes."

The master and servant quickened their pace, and soon they passed through the dense forest and arrived at a hidden small cave.

With a low roar, the figures of Dabai and his wife appeared not far away from them.

"Master, we are here."

"Okay, let's go. Master will take you to a nice place, but don't scare the little animals there."

The two white tigers shook their big heads and followed their master towards the cave.

Baiguo walked in front of her, looking at the dark cave nervously.

"It's okay, Baiguo, don't be nervous."
