Chapter 358 Chirp, Chirp's Back Again!

The once lifeless Wenyang Marquis's mansion was filled with laughter and joy again, but after only three days, everyone was frowning again.

"The chickens in the west, the geese in the south, and the dogs in the east! Butler Liu, please tell your wife, they are so pitiful!"

Before Steward Liu could figure out where the chickens and geese came from in the Marquis's mansion, the little maid was already crying, "This servant is so pitiful!"

Butler Liu: "Did Miss bully you too?"

"No, not at all," the maid hesitated. "It's just that Miss ran too fast, and I couldn't catch her at all!"

Despite being in a coma for a year, Qiuqiu's physical condition hasn't deteriorated at all. Perhaps it's because Heaven was afraid she'd run out of luck and kick the bucket at any moment, so it gave her a boost in physical abilities.

This makes Qiuqiu more agile than other children her age, and also more difficult to catch.

Dong Xiao married Chen He half a year ago and is now three months pregnant, so this kind of "physical work" has been handed over to the new maid.

The little maid was chubby and couldn't keep up at all. In no time, the young lady was running all over the courtyard, and all the complaints came to her.

Isn't her life miserable?

On the first day after waking up, Chiu Chiu discovered that her little teeth could gnaw on bones, so she immediately had a big meal to replenish her energy.

This made her look like a little wild monkey.

Sigh, we can't mention monkeys yet.

Zha Zha has grown into a big monkey, and she watches over Qiu Qiu every day. She scratches anyone who tries to stop her from making a fuss.

Butler Liu had no other choice but to complain to his wife, Qiuyue, saying, "Have Madam give Miss a good talking to!"

Qiuyue rolled her eyes at him and left.

This fool, it's good that Miss is still alive. What's wrong with making a little fuss?

But the news quickly reached Yun Jinglan's ears. She dragged the disobedient Qiuqiu in from outside, and everyone in the room rushed over to her.

Yun Jinglan tapped the rattan cane in her hand, and everyone gave Qiuqiu a look that said "good luck" before retreating.

Chirp: As expected, once you get something, you don't cherish it!

Yun Jinglan's vine did not fall; she understood what Qiuqiu was thinking from her expressive little face.

but……

Why can't she hear Chiu Chiu's inner voice?

Her face darkened, she handed Qiuqiu to Qiuyue, grabbed Su Junyao and left. The first thing she said when she got back to her room was, "I can't hear Qiuqiu's feelings anymore."

After a year, they had almost forgotten that Chiu Chiu was actually a chatterbox.

Upon careful consideration, Su Junyao realized that it had indeed been a long time since he had heard Qiuqiu's thoughts.

They asked other family members, and after a long time, they finally confirmed one thing.

Their mind-reading ability failed.

"mother?"

Everyone turned around and saw a fluffy little head peeking in from outside, looking very guilty!

Chiu Chiu was startled. Why were they so serious?

She scratched her head, and the first thing she did upon entering was to kowtow to everyone, saying, "I was wrong!"

Everyone: “!!!”

Chiu Chiu explained that she just wanted to play with them, but she didn't expect that her strength would become so great, and even beyond her control.

She felt like this body no longer belonged to her.

"I still need some time to adjust."

Yun Jinglan hugged her and nodded, gently stroking Qiuqiu's hair. The little girl's hair had grown quite a bit and was already long enough to be braided. Two silver bells were tied to it, jingling wherever she went.

"Chirp chirp, lately Mommy doesn't seem to understand what you're doing."

Chiu Chiu patted her mother: "You can't read my mind anymore!"

Xiao Yuan's face was full of regret. Why were they so indifferent to their child's privacy before?

Everyone: "You knew?"

Chuchu crossed her arms and stood up instantly, coldly declaring to everyone, "From now on, I'm a girl with privacy!"

Yun Jinglan: "Why?"

Chiu Chiu covered her mouth and stammered, "He told me not to say."

"who?"

Chiu Chiu's stern little face was unusually cute. She turned around and patted her mother's head, "Lan Lan, be good, don't ask."

Yun Jinglan: "You're just asking for it!"

There are both good and bad things about not being able to hear Chirp's heartfelt words.

Su Junyao comforted her, saying, "It's good to be an ordinary little girl."

After a year of correcting the wrongs, everything is progressing in the right direction.

Chiu Chiu has also completed her mission.

After staying at home for half a month, seeing that Tiandao really had no intention of going back on his word, Qiuqiu decided to go out and check out her territory.

The little dumpling, with her three-headed figure, hadn't grown very tall yet; she was still short and stocky, but she was already waddling along the streets of the capital. The people on the street couldn't help but cast loving glances at her.

He scratched his head, puzzled, then his eyes lit up: "Grandpa!"

Old Zhang, the sugar sculptor, was still sitting in his usual spot. "Chirp, do you still recognize me? Want some sugar?"

"eat!"

Old Zhang took the lead, and the remaining people spontaneously stuffed things into Qiuqiu's hands, while the brothers Su Jingwen and Su Xiucheng followed behind, paying for her with a heavy heart.

As they walked, Chiu Chiu couldn't keep up with her weight at all.

The wobbly little dumpling wanted to continue shopping, but her third brother grabbed her, asking, "Where else do you want to go?"

Chiu Chiu didn't know what she was going to do, but finally decided to go to the palace.

Everyone came to see her, but Fu Ning didn't. It felt a little strange.

"Find Fu Ning."

The twins exchanged a glance, their expressions not particularly pleasant. "Chirp chirp, maybe we shouldn't go for now."

"Perhaps Princess Fu Ning will come to see you in a few days?"

The more they chirp like this, the more they want to go.

They're definitely hiding something from her!

"Look at Funing!"

With each new emperor comes a new court, and Emperor Changshun's sweeping reforms and the subsequent submission of the Turks to become a vassal state marked the complete end of Emperor Jingming's era.

I'm afraid that Qiuqiu's privilege of freely entering and leaving the palace is no longer available.

But the two brothers couldn't refuse Qiuqiu's request, so they accompanied her to the palace gate, thinking that they would run faster when she chased them away.

As the vermilion palace gates came into view, Qiuqiu felt a surge of emotion. The most primal tragedy in this world stemmed from the struggle for power.

The palace is like a microcosm of social class, with a cannibalistic desire hidden beneath its magnificent facade.

Chiu Chiu saw the beginning and end of everything in the Heavenly Dao, and everything was driven by desire.

Fortunately, some people can control their desires.

Chirp let out a long sigh. A beautiful world is what people truly desire!

Having lost their mind-reading abilities, the two brothers had no idea what Chiu Chiu was thinking, so they poked Chiu Chiu and asked, "Going home?"

"I won't go back! I won't go back!"

Chirp: "?" Who answered for me?!

Little Eunuch Cai is now a favorite of the Emperor, walking with a swagger. He rushed back to Qiuqiu, looking quite anxious.

"Your Highness, you've finally arrived! This servant has been waiting for you for days. If you hadn't come soon, I would have gone to the Marquis's residence to snatch you away."

Chiu Chiu felt that after taking a nap, Grandpa Cai had become greasy.

A furrowed brow—this is definitely not a simple matter!

"Then I won't go."

With her little hands tucked into her pockets, she turned to leave.

It was easy to come here, but there's no going back.

Little Cai's fox-like eyes narrowed into slits: "That's not up to you!"

"Gao Jinbao has arrested the county princess and taken her away!"

Gao Jinbao: "..."
