cold winter.

A bowl of hot mutton soup can dispel all the chill.

It warms the heart and the stomach.

Whether it's roasted mutton or mutton soup.

The aroma is irresistible, instantly improving any bad mood.

In addition, the excellent skills of the chefs at Yipinju have attracted many people to come here.

Even Sun Yanshu came here because of its reputation, and bumped into his elder brothers. The three of them took advantage of the time before the food was served to go to the bookstore next door to browse.

When Jiang Miaomiao saw that her brothers were going out to play, she slid off the stool and ran to their feet, raising her arms.

"Brother, hug me, Miaomiao wants to go too."

Children are never idle, and Jiang Miaomiao, who was visiting a big city for the first time, was especially curious about everything.

Two-year-olds are at the age when their curiosity is at its peak.

Jiang Zifeng picked up his younger sister and said, "Mom, I'll take my sister out to play for a while. We'll just stay next door."

The little guy is a glutton; when he's not out playing, all he does is eat and he doesn't like to exercise.

Even though she can walk already, she likes to cling to adults when she has nothing to do, or she'll ride around on her own special mount with a nonchalant air.

They wouldn't take another step.

So, there's a reason why people are fat.

Lu Qingyao looked at her little girl, "Miaomiao wants to go out and play, doesn't she?"

"I want to go!"

Little Miaomiao blinked and nodded repeatedly, wanting to go out; staying inside was so boring.

"Going is fine, but can you walk by yourself after you get off?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little baby twisted his body and tried to slide off his brother's arms.

Lu Qingyao smiled. The little guy's cleverness was something she couldn't tell who he took after!

Little Miaomiao held one of her older brothers' hands and walked towards the door. She hadn't gone far when she bumped into someone at the corner.

It should be said that the person bumped into them.

"You blind bastard, how dare you bump into me..." Jiang Zipei covered his forehead, swallowing back the words he was about to say.

She looked up in surprise and asked, "What, it's you guys?"

Jiang Zifeng and his brother quickly picked up their sister and checked her over, worried that the silly boy might have hurt her.

"Was your little sister hit? Does it hurt anywhere?"

Little Miaomiao shuddered, stretched out one hand, drooping her wrist, pouted her little mouth, and uttered two words in a wronged tone.

"My hand hurts, I apologize!"

Jiang Zifeng picked up his younger sister and started to walk back, because they needed to see a doctor.

Children's bones are fragile and easily fractured.

"Brother, wait a minute." Jiang Ziyan grabbed him, then looked at Jiang Zipei, "Fourth brother, quickly apologize to your sister!"

"Hmph, she's just a little brat. Why should I apologize to her? I don't want to!" Jiang Zipei tilted her head back and turned away.

Jiang Zipei was immediately slapped across the face, the pain stinging intensely.

After realizing what had happened, she understood that Jiang Zifeng had hit her. Her face flushed red, and she glared angrily, "Jiang Zifeng, how dare you hit me! I'm going to tell my mother to have someone beat you up!"

After all, he was the eldest brother, so he didn't dare to hit him, nor could he beat him; he could only talk back.

Jiang Ziyan glanced at him. What else could he possibly rely on?

"Because my brother is your eldest legitimate brother, and you are a son born out of wedlock!"

Jiang Zipei was so angry that she jumped up and down, "No, you are not! Grandmother and Father have already abandoned you. You are discarded children."

He knew how to hit a nerve; with just one sentence, he made the three siblings' faces fall.

“Mother said you should have died long ago, why don’t you just die?” Jiang Zipei said smugly.

Jiang Zifeng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but his arms were held tightly by Jiang Ziyan and Sun Yanshu.

The young man was so strong that the two men held on to him tightly and dared not let go.

It wasn't that they were swallowing their anger, but rather that they were afraid Jiang Zifeng would kill someone with a single punch...

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped to watch and pointed at Jiang Zipei.

"How can a child speak so viciously? Whose child is this? He has no manners at all."

“He is the illegitimate son of Jiang Yunze, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and my fourth brother…” Jiang Miaomiao said to everyone in a childish voice.

Everyone was in an uproar.

"What kind of family is this? How dare a son of a concubine insult his elder brother? It's outrageous! Their father even holds a position in the Ministry of Rites. How could he raise such a son? Like father, like son..."

The speaker was Cui Xingzhou, the youngest son of Prefect Cui, who was also a well-known scoundrel in Jiangzhou City, and came from a prominent family.

I just love standing up for the weak!

That mouth of hers could talk someone into hanging themselves.

After saying this, Cui Xingzhou felt something was off and quickly changed his words.

"That's not quite right. I think these two young masters and ladies are quite well-mannered. It's not that their father didn't teach them well; it must be that their birth mother didn't..."

Everyone agreed that this made sense.

They share the same father but different mothers, yet their personalities differ greatly. Isn't that because their birth mother didn't raise them well?

Jiang Zipei blushed and vehemently denied it, "No, they are not my brothers... no, my mother is not..."

"Oh! This illegitimate son doesn't even recognize his own elder brother anymore, how dare he!" Cui Xingzhou teased with a smirk.

Qi Caiwei and Jiang Zijin sat in the carriage at the back of the crowd, their faces ashen.

They had almost torn the handkerchief in their hands to shreds.

They had been there for quite a while, and were about to get off the carriage when they heard Jiang Zipei say, "Mother said you should have died long ago."

They were so angry they almost vomited blood.

"Aunt Mei, what are you standing there for? Go and bring that brat back to me right now!"

"And that arrogant scoundrel, wait until it's late at night, find some homeless people, and beat them to death!" Qi Caiwei said through gritted teeth.

If you can't touch Lu Qingyao, are you sure you can't even deal with a scoundrel?

She simply refused to believe it.

She was already seething with anger when she left the pawnshop today, and this outburst only made her chest ache with rage.

Mei hesitated for a moment, fearing her young mistress was still angry, so she confirmed again, "Madam, how about we just give her a beating? It's better to avoid trouble..."

Her daughter is prone to making foolish mistakes when she acts impulsively, just like in the bamboo shoot business; she can easily fall into someone's trap without realizing it.

Those mother and her children, young and old, were all cunning and treacherous; none of them were easy to deal with.

"Madam, as far as I know, the scoundrel you're talking about is the sixth son of Prefect Cui. Do you still want to beat him to death?"

A calm, unhurried voice came from outside the car, but somehow it sounded gloating.

Qi Caiwei and Jiang Zijin felt as if they had been struck by lightning, their hearts pounding.

They hated this Granny Gong so much, but they couldn't hit her or scold her.

He would call her "Madam Ru" all the time. What kind of lady would have "Ru" before her name? He was afraid that others wouldn't know she was a concubine.

Even though I hate her, I can't find anything wrong with her.

If she hadn't reminded me at that moment, I probably would have gotten myself into big trouble.

A chill ran down my spine.

The Cui family is one that even my father can't afford to offend!

Qi Caiwei swallowed hard, composed herself, and then lifted the carriage curtain, saying, "Aunt Mei, hurry up and bring Pei-ge'er back! What a disgrace!"

"Madam, don't you intend to quell this matter? If this gets to the ears of the censor, Lord Jiang will probably be impeached again..." The ghostly voice came from outside the carriage again.

A barely perceptible smile flashed in Granny Gong's eyes.

Qi Caiwei and her daughter suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads.

Unable to sit still.

It's the censor again, that damned censor!
