After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

I never expected my little sister to be such a fan of beautiful women.

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

The group walked through the long corridor that nestled against the mountain and beside the water, and arrived at Qi Zhenghai's back garden, where melodious pipa music drifted over.

Attracted by the sound of the pipa, the group listened carefully behind a peach tree and saw a woman in fine clothes sitting on a swing opposite them, holding a loquat in her hand.

With skin as white as snow, arched eyebrows, and a slender waist, her fingertips gently caressed the loquat. Looking at her profile through the peach blossoms, she seemed like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

Granny Chen was also engrossed in watching.

"Isn't this what they mean by 'holding a pipa while half-concealing one's face' in traditional opera?"

Stir-fried loquats with noodles?

This stuff probably doesn't taste good.

Gu Yu'an "..."

Qi Zhenghai stroked his beard smugly and led the group over.

"Let me introduce you, this is my beloved concubine, Zhou."

Gu Yu'an nodded. "This lady before me must be the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan."

Lady Zhou curtsied and said, "Young master, you flatter me."

Gu Linglong excitedly exclaimed, "Wow, this is the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan! She's so beautiful! She's had three sons and still maintains such a great figure!"

It's a pity that neither of Master Qi's two sons from his legal wife nor his three sons from his concubine were his biological children.

【Greenland~】

Gu Yu'an was secretly relieved that Master Qi couldn't hear his younger sister's true feelings, otherwise he would have been furious!

After a simple meal, Gu Yu'an and the others bid farewell and returned home.

When Gu Mingtang returned from court, he went straight to the bedroom, picked up Gu Linglong, and pressed his face against hers.

Oh dear, Daddy's beard is so prickly, it doesn't smell as good as Mommy's!

Gu Mingtang was taken aback, then scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "Madam, please hold her for now, I need to attend to my official duties."

[Mom smells the best, let's stick this on~]

Su Xiuran smiled wryly.

After finishing his 'official duties', Gu Mingtang immediately hugged Gu Linglong.

He pressed his forehead against Gu Linglong's forehead.

Wow, Daddy shaved his beard and looks so young!

Gu Mingtang raised an eyebrow, secretly delighted.

Su Xiuran couldn't bear to look and teased, "Didn't you say that a beard is a symbol of manhood and gives him dignity? How could you bear to shave it off?"

Gu Mingtang knew that his wife was teasing him. Su Xiuran had advised him several times before to shave his beard to look younger, but he had always refused.

Now, his daughter shaves her head without even saying a word, and he immediately blushes.

"Isn't this because I'm afraid of hurting our little girl?"

Gu Mingtang looked at Su Xiuran's breasts, which were even more impressive than before after she had finished her postpartum period, and his face turned even redder.

Gu Linglong was taken away by the nanny.

The shadows of the trees under the moonlight were reflected on the window.

Su Xiuran told Gu Mingtang about her youngest daughter's strange behavior that morning, and Gu Mingtang comforted her.

"Madam, don't worry, our daughter has the ability to foresee the future. She probably foresaw something. It's alright."

Su Xiuran felt Gu Mingtang loosening her belt, and she slapped Gu Mingtang's hand.

"I'm talking to you, what do you mean by that?"

"I just meant a little something, you know what I mean?"

Gu Mingtang looked at her with a pitiful expression.

Su Xiuran softened and remained silent, still worried about her youngest daughter, letting Gu Mingtang do whatever he wanted to her.

The shadows of the trees on the window swayed and swayed until midnight...

Early in the morning, the servant reported that the Qi family had sent an invitation to visit their residence.

Gu Yu'an was cautious and did not reveal his true identity, but instead asked them to go to the Yuelai Inn in the city.

After receiving the invitations, the group, remembering that their younger sister loved excitement, also took Gu Linglong, who was still sleeping, away.

Upon entering the main hall of the Qi residence, Qi Zhenghai greeted them with an even warmer attitude than he had shown them the day before.

Qi Zhenghai ordered someone to bring five hundred taels of silver. "Young friend, this is a thank you gift for helping to exorcise the ghost. If you ever need anything in the future, come to me. I will never refuse."

Gu Yu'an felt relieved to receive the five hundred taels of silver. If he were ever exiled in the future, these five hundred taels could save his life.

"Thank you very much"

Qi Zhenghai thought of what he had found out yesterday. After all, it's best not to wash one's dirty linen in public, so he swallowed his words and started talking about other things instead.

Gu Ziming was getting a little bored because there was no excitement to watch.

"Brother, may I stay in the manor for a while?"

Qi Zhenghai laughed heartily and called over his servant: "Of course, I have a son who's about your age, you two can play together."

"Take the young master around to see the sights."

"Yes"

Gu Yu'an and Qiao Zhenghai chatted about the stars and the moon, from poetry and songs to their ideals in life...

Suddenly, they heard the servant's exclamation.

"It's terrible, sir! Young master and young master Gu are fighting!"

Qi Zhenghai immediately stood up. "What happened? How could you fight with such an important guest? Take me there immediately!"

Gu Ziming on the other side felt quite aggrieved.

As he ate the candied hawthorn his older brother had bought, he saw in the distance a child about his age and a man flying a kite.

Judging from his clothes, he must be the son of a wealthy man.

He looked closely at the two men and saw that they looked somewhat alike. He couldn't help but think of what his younger sister had said about the rich man's five sons not being his biological children. He was stunned for a moment.

The young master spotted him and roared.

"Hey, what are you doing hiding there? Trying to steal something?"

The servant stepped forward with an obsequious smile and said, "Young master, this is a guest of our household."

The young master snorted coldly, "Hmph, another poor relative trying to freeload!"

"This candied hawthorn must have been bought for you by my dad. Give it to me."

Gu Ziming stared at him, his face full of disbelief. How could someone be even more shameless than him?

"This was bought for me by my older brother, not by your father. I'm not giving it to him."

The young master got angry when he was rejected; everyone at home spoiled him.

"They have to give it to us whether they want to or not."

The young master went forward to snatch it, but Gu Ziming refused. The two started fighting, and the servant who tried to break it up got punched himself.

So he came to report it, feeling rather disgruntled.

Gu Ziming accidentally pulled down the young master's pants, revealing seven red moles on them.

The young master felt humiliated, and Zhou Peng, who was flying a kite with him, came to break up the fight.

Gu Ziming was only six years old and not very tall. In her haste, she also pulled down the man's pants.

"My God, you two both have seven red moles on your butts, exactly the same!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhenghai, who had just arrived, abruptly stopped and did not go any further. He gave the man and his son a mischievous look.

Gu Yu'an shouted, "Stop! What are you doing?"

Gu Yu'an pulled Gu Zimo down to squat down. "Zimo, are you alright?"

The young master jumped out: "Sir, you've come at the perfect time! These are candied hawthorns my father bought for me. Make him hand them over!"

Gu Ziming was so angry that he lost his temper. "What do you mean, 'your father'? Your father is the man next to you. I saw it. You both have seven identical red moles on your butts."

Gu Yu'an's expression immediately changed: "Gu Zimo, if you continue talking nonsense, I'll punish you according to family rules."

Zhou Peng's heart skipped a beat. "Young master, you can't speak carelessly. I'm the young master's cousin, so it's normal for us to have some similar features."

Gu Ziming was already furious when he remembered that the man had just taken sides and he had been punched several times by him.

"Did Master Qi's other sons also have seven red birthmarks?"

Zhou Peng's murderous intent began to rise. He had finally made it this far, and that old man Qi Zhenghai was about to die of illness.

With his vast fortune about to fall into his hands, how could anything unexpected happen at this time?

Since killing one person was the same as killing two, he suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed at Gu Ziming.

"Be careful"
