A five-year-old goddess, raised to become an emperor for all time through a bronze mirror.

Niannian said anxiously, "But my aunt said... she'll be kicked out!" She didn't want her aunt to get hurt because of this.

"Oh?" Pei Yunjing became interested. "Tell me what exactly happened." He raised his hand and moved the half bowl of noodles he had deliberately left aside to the side.

For some reason, Niannian felt a strange sense of peace and told everything in detail.

After listening to her story, Pei Yunjing said calmly:

"If everything you said is true, then all three of them lied to you! Fu Tong is spoiled and arrogant because she is the granddaughter of the Fu family, but does Zheng Peilan dare to bully you so openly? She is convinced that your aunt will cover it up for her!"

If you think you can just tolerate it, what you'll get in return won't be as simple as a slap! Besides, your grandfather will only kick Zheng Peilan out; your aunt won't be affected!

Niannian lowered her head, digesting these words. She hadn't expected this AI to be so amazing; every word it said made sense.

Yes, because she kept enduring it, Zheng Peilan slapped her today. If she continues to endure it, what will happen in the future...?

Niannian shook her head vigorously, thinking, "No, no, I can't hold back anymore! I have to tell Grandpa!" She jumped off the stool, "Thank you, Brother Ai!"

"Ok?"

"My name is Pei Yunjing!" he said lazily, raising his lips.

At this moment, only the sound of footsteps fading into the distance answered him.

Niannian walked briskly to the door of her grandfather's study, which was filled with the faint scent of ink.

Just as she raised her little hand to knock on the door, she was unexpectedly spotted by Wen Wanqing, who was passing by.

Wen Wan frowned slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of wariness and displeasure, and asked, "Niannian, what are you doing here?"

Niannian turned around upon hearing the sound, and the handprint on her fair, snow-white face appeared unusually abrupt and glaring.

She answered softly, "I...I wanted to talk to my grandfather, Aunt." Her tone was slightly timid but firm.

!!!

Wen Wan was startled. Could it be that this little brat was planning to complain to the old man?

We absolutely cannot let her succeed!

Thinking of this, Wen Wan moved swiftly to Niannian's side, coaxing her softly, but she also reached out and tightly grabbed Niannian's delicate little hand, trying to forcibly take her away from this place.

"Be a good girl, Niannian. Your grandpa is really busy right now. Shall we go back to our room?"

However, Niannian was not having any of it. She stubbornly gripped the doorknob tightly with her other little hand and refused to let go even a little.

At the same time, it puffed out its round cheeks, like a cute little hamster, and made a few soft humming sounds from its nose in protest:

"No, Auntie, I want to stay here! I want to find Grandpa! Grandpa—Grandpa—Niannian is here to see you!"

Although I am very willing to follow my aunt's arrangements, this matter is just too important for me right now!

"Oh dear, why are you so disobedient? Come with me now!" Seeing that her persuasion was ineffective, Wenwan's face gradually darkened, and her voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.

Niannian tilted her head back and saw that her aunt's expression had changed.

What's going on? This isn't the gentle aunt I usually talk to!

She fearfully loosened her grip on the doorknob, her little mouth pouting, looking extremely aggrieved.

When Wen Wan saw Niannian let go, her cold expression changed completely. "Oh, Niannian, be good. Let's go back first. We can't disturb Grandpa!"

Suddenly, the study door opened, and Old Master Fu, dressed in a dark polo shirt, crisp trousers, and his usual black leather shoes, walked out slowly with an angry expression.

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to make a scene outside the door when I'm in the study?"

Although his hair had a few strands of silver, he still maintained a neat appearance, always combing his hair meticulously, making him look energetic.

Wen Wan quickly stepped in front of Niannian, forcing a smile, "Okay, Dad, I know, I'll take Niannian away right now!"

"Nian Nian is here?"

Upon hearing Niannian's name, Grandpa Fu smiled. "Niannian? Where is Niannian?"

"Grandpa, I'm here!" Niannian poked her head out and said pitifully.

Grandpa Fu immediately noticed the red handprint on her face. He pulled Niannian over, squatted down, and asked with concern, "What happened?"

"It was Tongtong's grandma who hit her!"

!!!

"what?"

Grandpa Fu was shocked; he never expected that the old woman had already laid her hands on his precious child. He picked up Niannian and headed towards Zheng Peilan's room.

He stood tall and walked with a steady gait, exuding an undeniable aura.

“Dad…Dad…Mom…she didn’t mean it…” Wen Wan chased after her, explaining.

Grandpa Fu ignored her completely and kicked the door open.

There was a "bang" sound.

Zheng Peilan was lying in bed, enjoying a face mask, when she was startled by a sudden loud noise and muttered curses under her breath.

"Hey, who's blind?!"

She ripped off the face mask and strode towards the door. She wanted to see which blind bastard was behind it all and make him regret it!

Just as she was about to unleash a torrent of abuse, she saw Old Master Fu holding Jian Niannian, looking furious, which was quite frightening.

Zheng Peilan immediately understood that it must have been this little brat who went to complain. "Father-in-law, what's going on?"

Not wanting to see her, Nian Nian buried her head deeply in her grandfather's neck.

Old Master Fu gently patted her back and said sternly, "I can't accept being called a father-in-law like this. I'm asking you, did you hit Niannian?"

He didn't come here today to reason with people; he came here to support Nian Nian!

Zheng Peilan said without changing her expression, "Yes, a sapling won't grow straight if it's not pruned! She hit Tongtong today, so I had to teach her a lesson."

Father-in-law, I treat Niannian this way because I consider her my own granddaughter!

Upon hearing this, Old Master Fu was taken aback. Both sides were his children, and he couldn't possibly protect only one. "Someone, bring out the surveillance footage from today!"

After a while, Butler Liu reported with a tablet: "Master, the surveillance footage has been deleted, but there is a backup in the cloud, so it can be restored." After speaking, his gaze fell on Zheng Peilan's face.

Grandpa Fu's tone carried a warning, "Oh... as long as it recovers..."

Zheng Peilan's heart tightened. "Father-in-law, do you not trust me?"

At this moment, Niannian raised her head and said aggrievedly, "Grandma, let me tell you, it was clearly Tongtong who pushed me first. Why don't you believe me and insist on hitting me?"

Why are you still calling the baby a "slut"?

Once the words were out of her mouth, she could no longer hold back her tears, which flowed like a burst dam.

They rolled down like beads from a broken string, each one about the size of a soybean, a sight that truly tugged at the heartstrings.

At this moment, Old Master Fu was filled with mixed feelings, a mixture of grief and indignation.

He was deeply saddened by what his precious daughter Niannian had gone through, and at the same time, he was filled with resentment towards Zheng Peilan.

Suddenly, Old Master Fu raised his foot and kicked Zheng Peilan hard with all his might, cursing loudly:

"Go to hell..."

With a muffled thud, Zheng Peilan fell to the ground, her body crashing heavily onto the cold earth, followed by a series of pitiful screams.

"Ouch... Ouch..."

Seeing this, Wen Wan rushed forward and hugged Zheng Peilan tightly, anxiously calling out, "Dad, please don't get angry! Getting angry will harm your health!"

At the same time, Butler Liu quickly turned on all the surveillance footage that had been repaired.

Grandpa Fu frowned, staring intently at the screen, scrutinizing each frame.

Only now did he realize that whenever he left home, Zheng Peilan would instigate Tongtong to bully Niannian.

What surprised him even more was that his daughter-in-law, whom he had always regarded as virtuous and kind, not only helped to cover up the truth, but also begged Niannian not to reveal a single word to him.

Grandpa Fu found it utterly absurd, and he laughed in exasperation. "My life is like someone poking my armpit—it hurts, but I also want to laugh."
