Sunny weather.

It's also hot.

It is still the month of the Five Poisons.

The wound is very susceptible to infection.

Qi Caiwei cried until late at night, and only fell into a deep sleep after crying herself to sleep.

Jiang Zijin served her mother for most of the night and tried to persuade her to sleep.

Crying too much can damage your eyes and also affect wound healing.

The doctor repeatedly emphasized that the wound must be kept dry.

It's hard to say whether the wound on my face will leave a scar, but I need to let the wound heal first.

After this incident...

Qi Caiwei didn't want to stay in Jiangzhou for even a moment longer.

She wanted to go back to Beijing to find the best doctor to treat her face and remove the scars.

She took her daughter's hand and said, "Jin'er, bring your brother back from Donglin Academy. Pack your bags, settle the farmland and shops, and we'll leave Jiangzhou in seven days to return to the capital."

Upon hearing the words "return to the capital," Jiang Zijin was the happiest of all.

There was no point in her staying in Jiangzhou if she couldn't see Prince Jing.

Moreover, because of her miraculous resurrection, her reputation in Jiangzhou was ruined, and because she was an illegitimate daughter, the young ladies of noble families were unwilling to befriend her sincerely.

Now that we've fought with the Qin family, it's even more humiliating.

Jiangzhou is an unlucky place.

If she could, she would like to leave her mother behind and return to the capital first.

Despite her illness, Mei-gu still took care of her mother.

Mother also cannot do without Aunt Mei.

Jiang Zijin then asked Granny Gong to help her manage the family's property.

The valuable antique paintings and calligraphy were to be taken with us, as my father and maternal grandfather both greatly admired these refined objects.

All the maids and servants that couldn't be taken with them had to be sold, leaving only the strong and healthy ones to serve on the journey.

The houses, fields, shops, and estates all have to be sold.

Most of those farms and estates were gifts from people who wanted to curry favor with my maternal grandfather, so keeping them would be a potential problem.

Only the gambling dens, pawnshops, and antique jewelry shops remained to make money.

All the money earned from the sale must be deposited into a money exchange.

Granny Gong was very surprised.

It's astonishing that a ten-year-old girl could handle accounts and household affairs so efficiently.

It was something he could do effortlessly.

This also left her completely baffled.

Jiang Zijin couldn't care less about her strange look at the moment.

She didn't want to give her mother a chance to change her mind. Not only was she selling the house, but she also wanted to sell everything in the mansion that she couldn't take with her, whether valuable or not.

I'm never going back to this godforsaken place again.

As for the younger brother.

At least I'm doing better than in my previous life.

I passed the prefectural examination this spring, and once I pass the provincial examination in the autumn, I will become a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examination).

If he couldn't attend Donglin Academy, they would go back to Beijing and hire a private tutor for him, or send him to his maternal grandfather's school so that he could study with his cousins.

Both are better than staying in Jiangzhou.

Unexpectedly, when the servants went to fetch Jiang Zipei back, they were attacked on the way.

I went out early in the morning and didn't return until evening.

He had bruises on his body and face.

"Who hit him? Who hit him?" Qi Caiwei held her son's face in her hands, heartbroken.

Jiang Zipei kept her head down and remained silent.

He dreamed of leaving Donglin Academy, where all the students came from more prestigious families than him.

They were arrogant and didn't even respect their maternal grandfather.

They all ostracized him, ignored him, and some even sabotaged him behind his back.

Even the headmaster thought he was stupid and clumsy.

The classmates gossiped that the headmaster had only accepted him because his maternal grandfather had given him permission.

He didn't understand, was he really that bad?

Seeing her son so pathetic, Qi Caiwei was furious. She grabbed his arm and asked, "Jiang Zipei, are you deaf? Who hit you?"

It's bad enough that I was beaten by Wang for being in the wrong, but why should my son also be bullied?

She doesn't care who it is; she's determined to get justice.

"Mother, don't you know who hit me? It was one of those people you've offended recently." Jiang Zipei shook off her mother's hand and ran out.

Who else could it be!

Although the men were masked, it was easy to tell that they were the servants who often served Madam Qin.

The news of her mother being thrown off the carriage in the street and fighting with Madam Qin spread throughout Donglin Academy.

All the students in the academy were laughing at her mother and at him.

Her mother herself was unaware that she had become the talk of the town in teahouses, restaurants, and inns throughout Jiangzhou.

It has become a laughing stock in Jiangzhou City!

Qi Caiwei hadn't left the house for several days, so naturally she was unaware of these things.

She grabbed Mei Gu's hand and whispered in her ear, "Mei Gu, go and find someone to set fire to Tianxiang Tower and the estate below Qingyun Temple."

If the Qin family doesn't cherish those two places, then let them be razed to the ground. Let's see if that Wang family will be heartbroken.

Pei'er is innocent and still a child. How could Wang Shi do such a thing?

Poisonous woman!

Mei nodded in agreement.

He hurriedly left with a bag of silver in his pocket.

The lady was more heartbroken than if she herself had been injured, seeing her husband and Pei Ge so badly hurt.

Qi Caiwei was breastfed by her, and Jiang Zipei was raised by her.

Just like my own child.

Jiang Miaomiao sat on the wall, swinging her legs and constantly picking red berries and stuffing them into her mouth.

They stuffed them in handful by handful.

Juice and saliva were oozing out of his mouth.

The fruit is small; one isn't enough, you have to eat a handful.

Aunt Xiuxiu sat beside her, supporting her with one hand and picking fruit with the other.

She was going to make sweet and sour cherry omelets for the children.

Once the basket is full, pass it down to the next person.

Qiao'er and Princess Rong'an caught it under the ladder and the wall.

King Jing said that the fruit wouldn't spoil if they picked it, and if they liked it, they could pick it all.

They even mobilized all the servants in the mansion to help pick them.

Jiang Miaomiao was stuffing fruit into her mouth when she saw Mei Gu from across the street being helped by a maidservant as she hurriedly got into a carriage and left.

Chiu Chiu followed.

An hour later, Chiu Chiu returned.

She also had an earring dangling from her mouth.

Then it perched on Jiang Miaomiao's shoulder and chirped.

[Mei Gu went to a dilapidated temple outside the city, found some beggars, gave them a lot of silver... and also sent them a lot of kerosene... I didn't hear clearly what they were going to burn...]

Kerosene!

What place do they want to burn with kerosene?

The little girl was startled.

I almost fell off because I wasn't sitting properly.

With quick reflexes, Xiuxiu grabbed her collar, lifted her up, and leaped to the ground.

After checking her over carefully, I asked, "What happened to Miaomiao? Was she bitten by a bug?"

The little girl suddenly shivered, thinking she had seen an insect.

The little guy is most afraid of caterpillars.

"No bites, no bugs."

Jiang Miaomiao patted her chest with her chubby little hands, "This baby is so scared!"

I almost fell in and became fish food.

After being startled, he completely forgot about what had just happened.

Qiao'er and Princess Rong'an both thought she was frightened, so they quickly came over to hug her and comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, Miaomiao. If you fall, we'll cushion your fall so it won't hurt," Princess Rong'an said, stroking her little head.

Jiang Miaomiao: ……

Having an older sister is such a wonderful thing.

They'll braid your hair, make you pretty little dresses, and patiently play with you.

They'll even be used as human cushions...

Having nothing to repay them with, she planted a big kiss on their cheeks.

They even stuffed two red berries into their mouths.

Princess Rong'an and Jiang Qiao'er exchanged a glance, unsure whether to swallow or spit out the cherries in their mouths.

They would occasionally see little girls picking their toes.

Did he wash his hands or not?

"Miao Miao washed her hands, so you can eat without worry," Aunt Xiuxiu said with a slight smile.

Jiang Miaomiao: ……

Is she such an unhygienic person?

Although I might be tempted to pick my toes, I always wash my hands before eating.

She won't accept food from anyone who doesn't wash their hands first.
