Qin Niexun was about to go upstairs to find them when he noticed that his sixth brother Qin Qianyi’s face looked a bit pale. He asked, "What’s wrong? What’s the big problem?"

"Fourth Brother! Don’t go yet. Let’s listen to Ann. She heard voices in the Great Brother’s temple!" Qin Qianyi replied, then discreetly mouthed to his fourth brother, "Ann seems to have heard ghosts talking!"

Qin Niexun suddenly stopped, his expression turning serious.

He walked up to them, looked around, and said, "Let’s discuss this in the study."

This kind of matter shouldn’t be spread around.

Qin Niexun remembered that they had previously thought Ann encountered something dirty, but it turned out to be the spirit of their great-grandfather, not something sinister.

The three siblings entered the study on the first floor, and Qin Niexun carefully closed the door.

Qin Qianyi continued holding his sister, sitting on the sofa. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

At that moment, he was secretly relieved that his fourth brother had a hand injury and couldn’t hold Ann; otherwise, he would have had to let go of her.

As he was thinking this, he saw his fourth brother Qin Niexun extend his hand towards him. "You’re too timid. I’ll hold Ann."

Qin Qianyi: ???

Although he was a bit scared, what did being timid have to do with holding Ann?

Qin Qianyi reminded him with concern, "Fourth Brother, your hand is injured."

So, Ann should stay in his arms!

"It’s fine. I only have one hand injured. My other hand can work perfectly fine," Qin Niexun said seriously, lifting his uninjured hand. "Besides, I’m just holding Ann while sitting. She’s so light, one hand is enough."

Qin Qianyi thought this might be the longest sentence he had ever heard from his fourth brother.

Qin Sui’an blinked her round eyes and, while recalling the voices she heard in the temple, also picked up on her fourth brother’s and Sixth Brother’s thoughts.

She looked up at her Sixth Brother holding her.

[Even though encountering something like ghosts is scary, I still want to be held by my Sixth Brother!]

She then turned her little head to look at her fourth brother sitting beside her.

[Sixth Brother is so scared, but he’s holding Ann so close. Wouldn’t that make him even more frightened if he hears more clearly?]

Qin Sui’an widened her bright eyes.

Her fourth brother made a good point!

She gently patted her Sixth Brother’s hands holding her and said in her sweet voice, "Sixth Brother, let Fourth Brother hold Ann."

Qin Qianyi was willing to argue with his fourth brother about who should hold Ann, but he couldn’t ignore Ann’s wishes.

He reluctantly released his hands, looking heartbroken. "Ann, go to Fourth Brother."

Instead of moving directly to her fourth brother’s arms, Ann clung to her Sixth Brother’s neck, tilted her face, and gave his cheek a kiss. "Sixth Brother, don’t be scared."

The soft and fragrant touch, even though it was fleeting, made Qin Qianyi’s heart blossom with happiness.

His mood, which had been gloomy just a moment ago, instantly brightened. He couldn’t help but smile widely and chuckle, "Okay, I’m not scared."

After comforting her Sixth Brother with a kiss, Qin Sui’an moved into her fourth brother’s embrace.

She wasn’t a child who needed to be held by her brothers, but they all liked and wanted to hold her.

Qin Sui’an adjusted her sitting position and comfortably nestled in her fourth brother’s arms, avoiding his injured hand.

Qin Niexun glanced at his younger brother Qin Qianyi and noticed his radiant smile, which made him feel a bit sour inside.

Ann had never kissed him.

But if Ann kissed him now, his younger brother would surely throw a tantrum.

Forget it, holding Ann is enough.

Qin Niexun reassured himself internally, and his thoughts were clearly heard by Qin Sui’an.

Qin Sui’an looked at her fourth brother with admiration in her bright eyes.

Fourth Brother is so smart! He can even guess that Sixth Brother would throw a tantrum~

Originally, Qin Sui’an had planned to give her fourth brother a kiss as well to even things out. However, she decided against it to avoid upsetting Sixth Brother.

Hmm, Fourth Brother is right; I shouldn’t kiss him, or Sixth Brother will get upset.

Qin Sui’an kept her thoughts to herself and smiled secretly.

With her Sixth Brother comforted by her kiss, Qin Qianyi’s foolishly happy smile remained unchanged. "Ann, what did you hear while you were at the temple?"

After asking, he grabbed a cushion and held it in his arms, feeling a bit scared with nothing else to hold.

Qin Sui’an’s expression was very serious as she slowly replied in her soft voice, "Ann heard a lot of things."

Qin Sui’an had a good memory. Even after a long time, she still recalled clearly what she heard in the temple.

From the initial hall, the Great Hero Hall, to each subsequent hall, Qin Sui’an repeated almost every word she heard verbatim.

Qin Niexun and Qin Qianyi listened attentively, their expressions serious.

In fact, towards the end, the small Buddhas in each hall reacted similarly to little Ann and said similar things.

After finishing, Qin Sui’an felt her throat was dry and wanted to drink water.

Qin Qianyi quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Ann. "Ann, drink some water."

Qin Sui’an was so surprised she thought her Sixth Brother might also have mind-reading abilities, as he seemed to know she wanted water.

She was astonished. "Does Sixth Brother also have mind-reading abilities?"

"Impossible," Qin Qianyi also wished he had mind-reading abilities, but such things can’t be sought.

He explained with a smile, "You’ve talked so much, you must be thirsty."

"Oh~" Qin Sui’an took the cup, her round eyes curving. "Thank you, Sixth Brother~"

"Be good, drink slowly," Qin Qianyi said as he looked at their fourth brother. "Fourth Brother, what do you think about what Ann said?"

Qin Niexun had been silently noting down the points of concern while listening to Ann.

The voices she heard, whether they were from ghosts or something else, seemed to recognize the silver bracelet Ann was wearing and referred to "Miss Zhaosi," which seemed to be their mother Ye Zhaosi.

Before Qin Niexun could share his thoughts with his younger brother, Ann’s voice interrupted:

Qin Sui’an’s already round eyes widened even further upon hearing her fourth brother’s guess.

She was so surprised she even forgot to drink her water. "Is ’Miss Zhaosi’ mommy?"

Although Qin Qianyi couldn’t hear his fourth brother’s thoughts, he could infer from Ann’s expression and her words.
