Although this scene seemed gratifying, it actually displeased the old lady.

The Taoist priest's words had already taken root in people's hearts. Baili Wanwan's willful actions not only displeased Old Madam Lin, but also deepened her suspicions.

Lin Lan already knew what had happened on his way here. Seeing that Old Madam Lin looked displeased, he took the opportunity to speak his mind.

"Grandmother, don't be fooled by this old Taoist's words. What he said is pure fabrication. He can't possibly exorcise any evil spirits. It's just a trick to cheat and deceive."

After saying that, he also mentioned the recent significant increase in the shop's sales, adding, "Wanwan is so intelligent and adorable; she can only bring good fortune to the household. How could she be a demon..."

As he spoke, he summoned his servants to tie up the Taoist priest and send him to see the authorities.

This absurd matter ended hastily in this atmosphere that left people feeling helpless and indignant.

Having resolved the matter with the old Taoist priest, Baili Wanwan no longer had any desire to stay.

Once he became stubborn, he immediately insisted on returning to the Wan family.

"Fairy sister, can you not leave..." Lin Yang'er saw her walking out angrily, so she chased after her, her tone somewhat pitiful.

Even Lin Lan chased after her, wanting to persuade her to stay a few more days.

He really liked Wanwan, thought she was cute and kind, and genuinely doted on her like a younger sister.

But Baili Wanwan rarely had a sullen face, and she said with great displeasure, "What am I supposed to do here? Wait for you to burn me to death like a monster?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Lan was immediately ashamed and unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.

Don't let Baili Wanwan's small size fool you, she's not someone to be trifled with!

Anyway, Lin Yang'er's matter has been resolved, so she has done her best.

Seeing that his attempts to persuade her to stay were unsuccessful, Lin Lan had no choice but to call a carriage and personally send her back.

Ever since Baili Wanwan returned to the Wan family from the Lin residence, she has not been as cheerful as before. She has been sullen all day long, clearly still unable to forget the hurt caused by the last incident.

After selling his goods at the market, Zhang Xiu thought of his children at home, so he went to a pastry shop and bought some pastries to take home with him.

Both Wan Yuekui and Wan Yuechi in the family went to school, leaving only Baili Wanwan at home.

Upon seeing Zhang Xiu return, she looked up and sweetly called out, "Auntie."

Zhang Xiu responded, then took out some pastries from behind her and said to Baili Wanwan, "Look what your aunt bought for you. Quickly wash your hands and come over to try some."

Seeing the delicious food, Baili Wanwan's low spirits finally improved.

She obediently washed her hands and ran to the table, watching with some anticipation as Zhang Xiu unfolded the pastries.

Inside are eight pieces of white jade cake shaped like peach blossoms.

These pastries are exquisitely presented and taste delicious.

Normally, Zhang Xiu's family would never buy it; they would only buy a few pieces for their two children to try on special occasions.

Now that Baili Wanwan has joined the family, Zhang Xiu naturally prioritizes her.

Zhang Xiu put four pieces on her plate, put the other four away, and then said to her, "Eat quickly."

Unexpectedly, Baili Wanwan only took one piece and held it in her palm, while the other three pieces remained untouched.

Zhang Xiu was puzzled and asked her, "Why aren't you eating? Don't you like it?"

Baili Wanwan shook her head, her curled eyelashes fluttering like little fans. "No, those are for my two older brothers, I can't eat them..."

Zhang Xiu never expected that she could say such touching words at such a young age.

He felt more and more that taking her in was the right thing to do.

"I've saved these for the brothers, these are just for you. Eat up, don't think too much..."

After giving her his instructions, Zhang Xiu went off to attend to other matters.

Baili Wanwan took a bite of the pastry in her hand, and the sweet taste made her very happy.

After finishing the pastry in her hand, she wrapped the remaining three pieces in a handkerchief and went out.

Wan Yuekui and Wan Yuechi should be back soon.

She wanted to get there quickly and meet the two of them as soon as possible so they could share the delicious pastries together!

Walking along the winding path by the sea, I was very happy the whole way.

"Stop!" Just then, a familiar yet unfriendly voice came from behind.

Baili Wanwan turned around upon hearing the sound and found Wan Qiusui standing behind her, looking at her with a very resentful expression.

"What!" Baili Wanwan glanced at him with some displeasure.

Wan Qiusui's gaze fell on the object that Baili Wanwan was holding in her hands. She raised her chin and asked her rather domineeringly, "What are you holding in your hands?"

A hint of wariness flashed in Baili Wanwan's eyes: "What's it to you!"

Wan Qiu Sui was instantly enraged upon hearing this and stepped forward to snatch it.

Baili Wanwan held the pastries tightly in her hands, refusing to let go.

"You brat! You think I won't beat you up?!"

After he finished speaking, he snatched the pastries away and then forcefully pushed Baili Wanwan away.

Baili Wanwan was only focused on protecting the pastries, so she didn't have time to cast a spell.

Her small frame was no match for Wan Qiuhui's shoving.

The moment the pastries were snatched away, she fell heavily to the ground.

My palm hit the sand and stones, and the skin was immediately rubbed raw.

A faint trace of blood was seeping from her fair palms.

But Wan Qiusui had no time to pay attention to her at that moment.

He quickly opened the stolen goods, revealing the exquisite pastries inside.

Wan Qiusui's eyes immediately lit up with surprise and pride.

"Hmph, I knew you were hiding something good!"

He had hardly ever eaten such beautiful pastries before, so when he finally got his hands on one, he couldn't contain his excitement.

After he finished speaking, he didn't even bother with Baili Wanwan, who was still lying on the ground, and ran home with the pastries in his hands.

Baili Wanwan got up, her face full of anger.

So when Wan Qiu Sui passed by a puddle of dirty water, she used a little magic to make his feet fight.

Then a scream was heard, and Wan Qiusui lost control of her feet and fell into the mud.

Coincidentally, fishermen from Lanhai Village also happened to be passing by.

Wan Qiusui was initially heartbroken over the pastries that had fallen into the pit, but when others saw them, he felt extremely ashamed and could only run home in his wet and dirty state without saying a word.

The fisherman was a neighbor who lived not far from Wanjia's house, so he knew Baili Wanwan.

Seeing Baili Wanwan lying on the ground and Wan Suijin's brat running around in such a hurry, he guessed what was going on.

He quickly helped her up, brushed the dirt off her, and asked, "Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?"
