"Return the money... six thousand taels..."

The little girl, with a fierce yet endearing expression, reached out her small hand to Qi Caiwei.

She falsely accused her mother and even drugged her brothers...

That mother and daughter are so wicked.

I should never have backed down; I should have let the prefect give them a good beating...

Qi Caiwei glanced guiltily at the wealthy patrons in the room; their resentful gazes made her feel as if a heavy stone was lodged in her heart.

Although most of these people were asking her for favors, none of them liked having their secrets held by others.

Looking at the little one again, with its innocent and naive eyes, she became even more annoyed.

She's so young, yet she says such things. If no one had taught her, she would never have believed it, not even if you beat her to death.

Why would Lu Qingyao want to know about these ladies' family affairs? Or had she noticed something?

Thinking about this, Qi Caiwei felt uneasy.

With a determined look, she said, "Aunt Mei, give it to them."

Qin Su took the silver notes with one hand, crumpled them up, and found six notes with a face value of one thousand taels each.

"Ha! Miss Qi is indeed very generous..."

After saying that, he picked up Jiang Miaomiao and went downstairs without looking back. At the top of the stairs, he gave Manager Lou a warning look.

The shopkeeper shuddered at the sight.

No matter how much Qi Caiwei and her daughter pleaded, they couldn't dispel the resentment these wealthy patrons held towards her.

They had no choice but to turn the tables and go door-to-door to deliver gifts and apologize.

Then, each family made a promise.

As for whether it will be fulfilled, that's up to fate...

On the carriage.

Qin Su cupped the little girl's face in her hands and asked solemnly, "Miaomiao, tell Auntie, where did you overhear what you were saying just now?"

The little girl spoke with great conviction, but her intuition told her that the little one was lying.

She definitely didn't overhear it herself.

It's very likely that kid Cui Xingzhou.

Jiang Miaomiao blinked her bright eyes as she looked at Aunt Qin.

"Brother Cui drank some wine, saying that the young ladies in the brothels told him... Auntie, do they have candied hawthorns in the brothels?"

I'm sorry, Brother Cui!

I'll definitely have Aunt Xiuxiu cook you something delicious to make it up to you, since no one will believe you if you say you're my older brother or second older brother.

"Hehe, there are no candied hawthorns there, so little kids can't go!"

Qin Su's brows twitched.

As expected of that kid, he's completely out of control!

However, by a twist of fate, something good happened.

The little guy is really clever; at such a young age, he can already apply what he's learned and even knows how to use a counter-espionage scheme…

It was so adorable that I couldn't resist giving the little guy a kiss on the head.

Suddenly, something occurred to me.

"Miaomiao, what else did Brother Cui say? Did he mention where Uncle Chen Qian hides his secret stash of money?"

Jiang Miaomiao shook her little head, leaning against Aunt Qin and pretending to be asleep.

If she kept asking, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

When Lu Qingyao and Xiuxiu returned, it was already evening.

She glanced at her two sons, who were still half asleep, and then at the six thousand taels of silver notes that Qin Su handed her.

I don't know whether to cry or laugh!

This six thousand taels was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

I intended to keep it pressed down...

Qi Caiwei and her daughter were the bait on the fishing hook.

The framing in the capital, the ambush on the road to Xiajiangzhou, the bandits in Taoxi Village, and now Jiang Zijin's plot...

One by one.

I will keep them all in mind.

They could have killed her.

I just want to make them wish they were dead!

Little Miaomiao, of course, had no idea what her mother was thinking; she only felt that her mother's gaze was somewhat sharp.

"Sister, the doctor is here." Xiuxiu invited the doctor to take her brothers' pulses.

After taking their pulses, the doctor said, "Madam, the young masters are fine. They probably have a low alcohol tolerance but drank too much strong liquor."

"Strong liquor?" Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyao quickly instructed her maid to prepare some hangover soup.

"Doctor, can you tell what kind of strong liquor you drank?"

"It looks like spirits..."

Lu Qingyao pinched the bridge of her nose.

The medicine wasn't administered, but this liquor is notoriously strong; the children couldn't possibly withstand it!

The world is a dangerous place, and people's hearts are unpredictable. It's good to teach them a lesson.

"Hiccup~~ Hiccup~~"

Jiang Miaomiao suddenly burst into burps.

Feeling a little embarrassed in front of outsiders, she snuggled closer to her mother.

Lu Qingyao smiled and looked down at her daughter's round little belly, touching it gently.

With a slight frown, how much did he eat?

"Could you please check my daughter as well, doctor, to see if she has ingested anything wrong?"

The old doctor took Jiang Miaomiao's pulse, looked at the baby's belly with a half-smile, and stroked his beard. "The little girl is fine, she just ate too much..."

Jiang Miaomiao: "..."

She didn't eat much.

The old doctor must be a quack.

The reason why a baby's belly looks like this is because the abdominal muscles are weak and the internal organs of the abdominal cavity are developing rapidly, so even a little food will make the belly bulge.

Yes! That's right.

After the doctor left.

The three older brothers slept soundly until dinner time.

Although Lu Qingyao was somewhat annoyed with Cui Xingzhou, she still invited him to stay for dinner because of his kind heart.

"Aunt, Uncle asked me to pick up Aunt tomorrow, so I'll head back now." Cui Xingzhou was too ashamed to eat anymore and made an excuse to slip away.

It was so embarrassing. I went there all high and mighty, but I was knocked out by just one drink. In the end, I only managed to save face with the help of a two- or three-year-old girl.

He covered his face and ran back to the Cui residence, where he dutifully knelt in the ancestral hall.

No matter how strict my uncle was with his students, he was very lenient with his grandchildren, much more so than his parents.

But the prerequisite is that you must take the initiative to admit your mistake.

My aunt said that everyone makes mistakes, and a good child is one who can admit their mistakes and correct them.

Sure enough, Aunt Qin came.

"Sixth Brother, go and eat quickly. The old lady has something to tell you."

Cui Xingzhou immediately got up, grabbed Qin Su's arm, and said in a coquettish tone, "It must be that Aunt Qin pleaded for me in front of Uncle and Aunt, right?"

"Stop joking around, hurry up and go, don't keep them waiting." Qin Su poked his forehead.

This kid is kind-hearted, but a bit dim-witted.

Not only did he almost drown, but he also got tricked...

Seeing his grandnephew's dim-wittedness, Grand Tutor Cui couldn't bring himself to scold him. He simply said with a stern face, "Sit down and eat."

Grandma Cui couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, sit down and eat. I've sent someone to tell your parents that you'll be eating at your aunt's place today. I've had the chef make your favorite roasted mutton."

Cui Xingzhou then sat down with pleasure. His uncle and aunt had come from the capital and preferred light flavors. They also wanted to avoid making the younger generation feel awkward, so they ate alone.

But he just loves eating with his parents.

Because eating with his father and mother, he could easily choke to death.

If you can't even eat a few bites of a meal, you'll get scolded.

Even the best food is no match for anyone!

Cui Xingzhou placed a piece of stewed mutton into the bowls of both Grand Tutor Cui and the old lady before asking, "Uncle and Aunt, is there anything you want to tell your grandson?"

Grandma Cui also put a piece of meat in his bowl, saying, "Your aunt and uncle are coming to Jiangzhou for the New Year this year. Go and check on them for us..."

Cui Xingzhou never expected that his words would come true; his aunt really was coming tomorrow.

"Auntie, you've forgotten, I was originally going to go with my parents."

Why do I need to give you special instructions?

Grand Tutor Cui spoke up, "Go ahead of time, and don't let anyone find out..."
