Jiang Zijin felt ashamed and refused to get off the carriage.

Qi Caiwei also dared not show her face.

However, she was also afraid that her son's behavior would reach the ears of the censors, leaving a stain on his reputation and potentially hindering his chances of passing the imperial examinations.

She lifted the curtain. "Granny Gong, what should I do?"

"Apologize, go apologize to them," Granny Gong said calmly. "Let outsiders see that you are well-mannered and knowledgeable..."

"No, I'm not going."

Apologizing to a few brats is tantamount to trampling on her dignity, and she refuses to do so.

Just as Qi Caiwei was hesitating.

Jiang Miaomiao walked up to Cui Xingzhou, tugged at his hand, and pointed to the back of the crowd.

“Brother, my fourth brother’s mother is there, in the carriage.”

Instantly, everyone's eyes fell on Qi Caiwei's face, and she was so frightened that she lowered the curtain.

Cui Xingzhou snorted, "Oh! Like mother, like son. This illegitimate son is definitely spoiled by his birth mother, and maybe even orchestrated by her..."

This one sentence seems to have condemned Qi Caiwei.

She had no way out.

"Madam, let's go!" Granny Gong, with great insight, reached out to help her.

She wasn't given any chance to hesitate.

Qi Caiwei gritted her teeth, put on a smiling face, got off the carriage, and walked towards Jiang Miaomiao.

With a sweet smile.

She took a piece of chestnut cake from the maid and handed it to the little girl. "Miaomiao, it's all your fourth brother's fault. Your mother apologizes on his behalf, okay?"

For a little girl like her, it's just a piece of cake. Children this age are at the age when they are most greedy.

Once you've won her over, no one else will have anything to say.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Miaomiao showed her no respect at all, turning her head away, "Hmph! You're a bad person... I won't eat it... It's poisoned..."

Qi Caiwei felt a mouthful of blood choke in her throat, her face turning red and then white.

That brat is just as annoying as her mother!

Jiang Ziyan quickly pulled his sister back into his arms; he needed to stay away from the bad woman, in case she went crazy...

"Don't be afraid, Miaomiao, your brother is here."

"Mother, they bullied me." Jiang Zipei threw herself into her mother's arms, wiping away tears and sobbing.

It gave onlookers goosebumps. He's already a big boy, almost as tall as his mother, and he's still acting like this...

Like mother, like son.

Qi Caiwei looked somewhat embarrassed and pushed him away, saying, "Hurry up and apologize to your eldest brother, second brother, and fifth sister!"

After apologizing, he quickly left, not wanting to lose face again in Jiangzhou after already losing face in Qingshi Town.

They are all lessons learned in blood.

Jiang Zipei was dumbfounded.

Is this still her mother? Why is she siding with outsiders?

"No, it was clearly Jiang Zifeng who hit me first."

"Hurry up and apologize to your brothers..." Qi Caiwei pushed her son, feeling utterly helpless. How could she have such an unreasonable son?

Jiang Zipei, in a fit of stubbornness, shoved his mother away, "No, I won't apologize, I did nothing wrong!"

Qi Caiwei stumbled as he flung her.

In a fit of anger, she slapped her son hard across the face, her tone commanding, "Go, go apologize."

Jiang Zipei stared at her mother in astonishment.

Is this still the same mother who used to love and pamper her?

Reluctantly, he bowed to Jiang Miaomiao and her two siblings, looking aggrieved, and said, "Big brother, second brother, I'm sorry."

"Hmm." Jiang Zifeng nodded lightly.

"And me too, Fourth Brother hasn't apologized to me yet," the little girl said, pointing to herself in a childish voice.

Looking at everyone, he felt a sense of relief.

Jiang Zipei gritted his teeth, "Fifth sister, I'm sorry, brother apologizes to you."

After saying that, she ran away angrily without a second glance at her mother.

His mother had never hit him since he was a child, and even forced him to apologize. His mother must not love him anymore.

Seeing that her son had run away and hadn't returned to the carriage, Qi Caiwei quickly ordered someone to drive the carriage after him...

Jiang Ziyan looked at the little rascal in his arms with a smile, "Miaomiao, your hand doesn't hurt anymore?"

"Hehe... my hand is all better!" Little Miao Miao smiled, revealing her tiny baby teeth, and stretched out her hand to shake it.

As expected, he couldn't escape his second brother's sharp eyes.

Lu Qingyao, who was inside the house, had no idea what was happening outside and was wondering why the children had returned so quickly.

They all look a bit wilted.

The two brothers took Jiang Zipei's words to heart.

Although I hit the person and received an apology, I couldn't feel happy at all.

Jiang Miaomiao felt sorry for her mother; it turned out that the dream her mother often had was real.

In her previous life, her mother and brothers had also struggled on the edge of life and death, just like her, and were even buried in the cold, bone-chilling snow.

What despair a mother must feel watching her children leave her one by one.

The little girl hugged her mother's hand tighter, pressing it against her mother's chest, feeling the rise and fall of her breath and the warmth of her body.

That's wonderful, they're all fresh and alive.

Lu Qingyao sensed her little girl's emotional fluctuations and kissed her head. "Miaomiao, what's wrong? Are you sleepy? Go to sleep, Mommy will hold you while you sleep."

In the private room next door, Qi Caiwei brought her son back.

We finally managed to book a private room, so how could we waste it? Besides, when people are in a bad mood, they just want to eat a lot.

Jiang Miaomiao, who had originally wanted to take a nap, suddenly felt better when she saw the lamb leg. She sat back down in her chair and started gnawing on the lamb leg.

This was specially prepared for her by Manager Jin, who was worried that her baby teeth, which hadn't fully grown in, wouldn't be able to chew it. So he stewed it for half a day, and when she took a bite, it was fresh, fragrant, soft, and tender.

It doesn't get stuck in your teeth at all.

It suited her perfectly.

After eating and drinking to its heart's content, it patted its round little belly and wandered around.

Lu Qingyao and Xiuxiu kept glancing at her while they ate, and when they saw that she had fallen asleep on the couch after getting tired from her stroll, they didn't pay much attention to her.

Jiang Miaomiao opened her eyes and slipped out with Qiuqiu.

She had just seen a pond full of fish in the garden of Yipinju, all sorts of colors, and she wanted to feed them.

The little girl hugged her little red bird and went to the pond in the backyard.

Standing by the pond, the fish underwater are clearly visible, as are the dark aquatic plants that extend to the bottom.

The water looks very deep.

The fish swarmed around her.

"One, two, three, four..." Many plump and round tricolor koi.

Jiang Miaomiao felt that there were too few koi in her large tank, and they were too thin. She wished she could catch a few more to take home.

He should have brought his older brother along.

after dinner.

On the second floor, by the water's edge, leaned a beautiful young woman.

The setting sun cast its golden rays on the water, making it shimmer and sparkle.

A tiny pink blob stood by the lake, scattering something into the water, attracting all the large red koi carp.

Extremely glaring.

Jiang Zijin, impatient after hearing her mother scolding her brother, put on her cloak, dismissed the maid, and lifted her skirt to walk downstairs.

She observed that the little figure was alone, with no one around.

As darkness fell, visibility decreased.

A little child ran to the water's edge all by himself.

It's easy to slip and fall into the water...
