Jiang Mingyi chased away Chen Bei's drowsiness and also summoned Jiang Mingzhu and the others who were taking a nap.

Jiang Mingxu's eyes widened. "Wow, Chen Bei is amazing!"

Bao'er nodded repeatedly, "Brother, keep it up, don't get hit!"

Jiang Mingzhu: "..." Are they siblings?

Why are you cheering for outsiders? Be careful your brother doesn't get angry if he hears you.

As Jiang Mingzhu was thinking, she saw her brother's attack move as swift as the wind, and it looked like he was about to strike Chen Bei's beautiful face. She couldn't help but say, "Chen Bei, be careful!"

It's such a shame that such a beautiful face is swollen.

The sound startled Jiang Mingyi, causing him to deflect the palm strike slightly. When he realized what was happening, the man's fist was aimed at his nose.

When Gu An'an was called back, she saw two young men with bruises and swelling on their faces.

One was originally as aloof as a pine tree on a mountain, while the other had a rosy face like the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival.

Now, both faces are covered in bruises, which is a real waste of their good looks.

"Sister Gu, are you done with your work? I'm fine."

Chen Bei smiled and tugged at Gu An'an's sleeve, "Actually, it was just a misunderstanding with A-Yi, we've made up."

That's someone who can bend and stretch.

Gu An'an's gaze fell on Jiang Mingyi. "Young Master Chen is staying at our house for a while. I arranged for him to stay in your room. It was my fault for not informing you in advance."

Jiang Mingyi was originally feeling somewhat resentful and was prepared for Gu An'an to confront him.

Originally, she always had a point when she was in the wrong.

Now that he was apologizing, Jiang Mingyi's anger dissipated considerably. "The teacher's wife's family has encountered some trouble, and the teacher wants us to go home and review our lessons on our own."

When he returned, he found someone in his room.

At first, I thought it was Pearl, but later I found out that it was actually a man dressed as a woman.

A single word, "disgusting," sparked a fight between the two. If Zhu'er hadn't cried out, "Mother's back!", Jiang Mingyi wouldn't have stopped.

Even though he couldn't beat this person.

However, with such cumbersome clothing, he suffered a loss while the other party didn't gain much advantage.

Gu An'an looked at the person who was lazily explaining, "Zhu'er, bring the medicine for your injuries."

However, since two people were injured, there was a specific order to applying the medicine.

"I can do it myself. I often spar with my older brother at home and I've gotten injured quite a few times. It's just commonplace."

Jiang Mingzhu looked at the person whose lips were slightly bruised and whose eyes were also dark, and felt a pang of pity. "Let me help you."

"Thank you, little pearl."

Jiang Mingyi's subtle psychology immediately became even more subtle.

A young man from the Chen family suddenly appeared out of nowhere; Gu An'an really seems to enjoy picking up kids more and more.

He still disliked Chen Bei's strong smell of perfume, so after applying medicine to his wounds, he went back to tidy up the house.

When Gu An'an came over, she saw the young man picking up the books that had been scattered on the ground.

He was probably injured as well, as there were gasping sounds as he moved.

Are you angry with me?

Jiang Mingyi had just heard footsteps. When he saw who it was, he shook his head but didn't say anything.

“It was my fault for making the arrangements. Now that your father has moved out, I’ll have A’bei move to the front yard.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingyi looked at Gu An'an. The boy had bruises on his face, but his eyes were sharp. "He's gone?"

"Reluctant to part with it?"

Jiang Mingyi remained silent. His memories of his father were extremely vague, and even this reunion between father and son did not bring much warmth.

Whether Jiang Mingyi leaves or not doesn't have much impact on him; he just didn't expect Jiang Yong'an to leave.

“Yi’er, you are studying and hoping to pass the imperial examinations, so you are destined not to stay by our side. Anping County is a small place. Although the people are simple and honest, you can live and work in peace here. But I still want to go to Anzhou Prefecture to take a look. Madam Xie asked me to take care of Chen Bei for a while, and I cannot refuse.”

Jiang Mingyi silently watched the person arranging the pages of the book.

That page had been folded before, and she pressed the creases flat, patiently as always.

When do you plan to leave?

Gu An'an laughed, "It's too early to say now, we'll wait for the right opportunity."

Her Gu Ji Restaurant has only just stabilized; how could she easily talk about expansion?

Gu An'an isn't some hot-blooded young man; even if she were to open a franchise store, she would still need to conduct due diligence, wouldn't she?

I did do some research during my last trip to Anzhou Prefecture, but I'm not in a hurry yet.

Let's wait a little longer.

"Then you should stay home and study hard during this time. If you need anything, just let me know. If Chen Bei bullies you, tell me too, and I'll teach him a lesson."

Jiang Mingyi frowned slightly. "Won't you offend the prefect by doing this?"

“Abei is not one of those spoiled young masters.”

This explanation sent turmoil through Jiang Mingyi's mind. Why was she so familiar with that young man from the prefectural government?

Mingming, he spends every day with his siblings.

Gu An'an had no idea about the boy's subtle thoughts. "By the way, Yi'er, your eleventh birthday is in a few days. Although it's not a big birthday, we should still celebrate. Is there anything you want for your birthday?"

A birthday present?

Jiang Mingyi's heart, which had been filled with sourness, welled up with a different kind of feeling again. "I don't want anything, Mother, you don't need to spend money."

"Then I'll make the decision myself." Gu An'an thought for a moment and added, "Abei just likes things for girls. He doesn't have any bad intentions. If you can't stand it, then talk to him less and try not to have any conflicts."

Boys are full of vigor and it's normal for them to fight, but fighting all the time isn't a solution.
