Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

Xiao Wu's heart pounded. She was already caught in the trap, and extricating herself would not be easy.

But if she didn't break the deadlock, she would die. Xiao Wu had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue acting.

"Give me the ring, and I'll destroy it."

"Why should I believe you?" The guard sneered, clearly having lost patience with Xiao Wu.

"I'll destroy it right in front of you, since I can't run away anyway," Xiao Wu said again.

"No!" The guards' repeated refusals only strengthened Xiao Wu's suspicions.

The bodyguard in front of him was most likely Li Yuanqi, and his nervousness about the ring was definitely not because he was afraid Xiao Wu would run away.

After all, the two were vastly different in strength, so even if Xiao Wu wanted to run away, it would be very difficult.

However, this speculation actually relieved Xiao Wu. If the other party was Li Yuanqi, then as long as he saw her risking her life to save Lian Rongrong, there would definitely be room for maneuver.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wu suddenly squatted down, picked up the ring, and threw a handful of sand at the guard's face.

"What is this girl trying to do? I'm getting more and more confused." Xiaobai's confused voice rang out from inside the space.

"Don't tell me you don't understand, I don't understand either." As Lian Rongrong spoke, Xiao Wu had already taken the ring and started running back.

Furthermore, she was shouting for help while running, and no one could say that she had ill intentions.

Li Yuanqi, disguised as a bodyguard, was also completely bewildered. He asked the air in a low voice:

"What's going on?"

"Let's follow them and see what happens." Lian Rongrong and Li Yuanqi were of one mind, so they could communicate even in the same space.

By this time, Xiao Wu's shouts had attracted a lot of people, including Lian Rongrong's second brother, Lian Yicheng.

"What's wrong, Xiao Wu?" Lian Yicheng strode over and caught Xiao Wu just as she was about to fall.

"Father, that person is going to kill Auntie." Xiao Wu looked panicked, tears streaming down her face, but she still pointed at Li Yuanqi.

Upon hearing this, Lian Yicheng became enraged. He drew his long sword from his waist and, without thinking twice, was about to attack Li Yuanqi.

As things escalated, even Rongrong could no longer hide herself.

Lian Rongrong activated her consciousness, allowing herself to enter the ring's space, and then activated her will to appear in front of everyone.

"Second Brother, stop! That's Yuan Qi!" Lian Rongrong's voice rang out just before Lian Yicheng's longsword fell.

Even if the two of them fought, Lian Yicheng wouldn't gain any advantage, but it would still be bad no matter who got hurt.

Li Yuanqi waved his long sleeves in front of his face, instantly restoring his original appearance.

Lian Yicheng looked at Li Yuanqi, then turned to Lian Rongrong, and asked with a bewildered expression:

What are you two doing?

Lian Rongrong glanced down at Xiao Wu, her large, watery eyes filled only with the joy of surviving a disaster, without a trace of confusion or surprise.

At this moment, Lian Rongrong was almost certain that Xiao Wu was the one who had poisoned her earlier. As for why Xiao Wu was behaving this way today, she figured it must be because she and Yuan Qi had slipped up in some way.

It seems that this six-year-old girl is quite a troublesome problem.

"Second brother, let's talk about this when we get back."

Lian Rongrong gave Lian Yicheng a look, and the siblings understood each other perfectly. Lian Yicheng immediately nodded in understanding.

Those who had rushed over after hearing the commotion dispersed upon seeing the scene. In the end, only Li Yuanqi, Lian Rongrong, Lian Yicheng, and Xiao Wu remained.

As Xiao Wu walked past, even Rongrong and Li Yuanqi turned their heads to glance at her. Sensing their unfriendly gazes, Xiao Wu immediately put on a pitiful act.

At this moment, Lian Yicheng, who was following behind, walked over, patted Xiao Wu's shoulder, and said softly:

"Don't be afraid, it's okay."

Xiao Wu nodded and followed closely behind.

On the boat, inside Lian Rongrong's house.

"What are you saying?" Lian Yicheng's voice involuntarily rose a few decibels. "Someone else threw Rongrong off the cliff that day?"

"That's right, so today's plan was designed to lure out that person. And in the end, only Xiao Wu herself appeared."

Lian Rongrong's words were loaded with meaning, but Lian Yicheng, who understood the unspoken message, became somewhat annoyed.

"Rongrong, you don't doubt Xiaowu, do you? She's just a child."

And you saw what she did today; she risked her life to save you.

Lian Rongrong sighed. Just what she feared most had come to pass. Right now, her biggest worry was that her second brother would blindly protect that girl.

If that's the case, it will be difficult to find out the truth about many things.

Lian Rongrong took a deep breath, trying her best to calm herself down, before slowly speaking:

"Second brother, today behind those rocks, I clearly saw the killing intent in Xiao Wu's eyes."

I couldn't be wrong about that look in your eyes.

"You can't be mistaken? Rongrong, even what you see with your own eyes may not be true, let alone just a glance."

You judged Xiao Wu to be the one who harmed you that day based on just one look? Don't you think that's a bit too hasty?

Although Xiaowu is not my biological daughter, after spending so much time with her these past few days, I can tell that she is a sensible and good child.

Didn't you see how much suffering and pain Xiao Wu endured?

How can you suspect her just because she unintentionally got involved in your scheme?

“But what if she is?” Li Yuanqi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

Normally, Li Yuanqi is very respectful to Lian Rongrong's parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law, but today, when it comes to Lian Rongrong's safety, Lian Yicheng is only trying to exonerate Xiao Wu.

This situation inevitably made Li Yuanqi somewhat disappointed in his brother-in-law.

"She's only a six-year-old child, why would she harm Rongrong? And how could she possibly repay Rongrong?"

"Why harm her? How should she harm her? You should ask her yourself." A ruthless glint flashed in Li Yuanqi's eyes.

At this moment, no one doubted that Li Yuanqi could be so crazy as to lay a hand on a six-year-old girl.

"You're all insane! Xiaowu is my daughter. If you want to torture her, then come at me."

Lian Yicheng stormed out of the room. Xiao Wu was standing outside the door when she saw him. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she said with a wronged expression:

"Dad, do Aunt and Uncle think I'm a bad person? Xiao Wu isn't! Xiao Wu really isn't!"

Xiao Wu only followed her aunt because she saw that she was in danger. If I don't pretend to cooperate, I'm afraid the bad guys will hurt my aunt.

But I really didn't know that the person was actually my uncle in disguise. It was Xiaowu's fault for ruining my aunt and uncle's plans.

Tears welled up in her eyes; Xiao Wu truly captured the little girl's pitiful state perfectly.

Seeing his daughter like this, Lian Yicheng felt even more heartbroken. He took Xiaowu's hand and said loudly:

"Whether others believe you or not, your father believes you! As long as your father is alive, no one can put a bad name on you."

Inside the room, Li Yuanqi clenched his fists. If Lian Yicheng weren't Lian Rongrong's second brother, he probably would have already grabbed the father and daughter and beaten them both.
