At this point, Xiao Jiu deliberately kept everyone in suspense, clicking her tongue a few times before falling silent.

"Tell me quickly, what did Yun Shuisheng do? Don't keep me in suspense, or I'll poke you!" Yun Duo knew Xiao Jiu was keeping her in suspense, so she deliberately said in a 'fierce' tone, while poking Xiao Jiu twice more.

(Xiao Jiu: ? Does that mean you won't poke me if I say something?)

Xiao Jiu couldn't do anything with Yun Duo. Of course, it was also because although Yun Duo sounded fierce, she was actually very gentle and was just playing around with her. Xiao Jiu naturally wouldn't get angry with Yun Duo because she couldn't keep the suspense any longer. She just honestly said, "Yun Shuisheng went to cut a tube of bamboo and brought it into the house. Right in front of Zhao Cuifen, he split the bamboo into strips, shaved them into bamboo sticks, and put them in Yun Youliang's hand. He said, 'The ten fingers are connected to the heart,' and then pretended to be sleepy and wanted to take a nap, asking them to keep their noise down."

"Yun Youliang only inserted a small section of bamboo skewer into Zhao Cuifen's fingernail, and Zhao Cuifen screamed like a pig being slaughtered. Then, without Yun Youliang asking any more questions, she spilled everything like beans from a bamboo tube."

"What did she say?" Knowing that the "good stuff" was coming, Yun Duo became much more focused.

"Cough cough," Xiao Jiu deliberately cleared her throat, propping herself up on her hind legs, and looked at Yun Duo, saying, "She said that Wang Tiejun told her that the young master of the Lin family in town got a government job in the county because you spoke well of him to the county magistrate. It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, the young master Lin wouldn't even be able to see the county magistrate. Wang Tiejun told her to appease you so that you could go to the county magistrate and ask him to get an official position for Wang Tiejun."

"Cough cough cough cough..." Upon hearing Xiao Jiu's words, Yun Duo choked on her own saliva and coughed violently.

If he's so good at thinking, why doesn't he just dream?

Bah! You misspoke. Aren't they just dreaming? Daydreaming, no less. It's even more far-fetched than pure fantasy. Have they got their heads stuck in a door? Asking me to help Wang Tiejun get a promotion? Even if my involvement in the Lin family's young master's lobbying was just a smokescreen, and even if the county magistrate genuinely brought the young master into the county "government" because of my connections, why should I help Wang Tiejun get a promotion? Because they're so powerful?!

"Duo'er, what's wrong? Why are you coughing all of a sudden? Did you catch a cold because you didn't cover your tummy while you were sleeping?" Yun Da had just washed his face with cold water outside and hung his towel on the bamboo pole when he heard his granddaughter's series of coughs. He immediately became worried. While asking her questions, he quickly went to make a bowl of warm water with some honey and brought it inside for Yun Duo.

"Grandpa, I'm fine." Yun Duo had just answered after suppressing a cough when she heard the door open. She quickly tucked Xiao Jiu under the sheet next to her, and obediently turned her head to face the door. "Grandpa, I'm really fine. I just choked on some saliva. I always cover my stomach with a sheet when I sleep, so don't worry."

Hearing that his granddaughter wasn't cold, Yun Dazheng felt a little relieved. He then handed the warm water he was holding to Yun Duo and said, "It's good that you're not cold. Here, drink some water to soothe your throat. Coughing hurts your throat, and your throat is delicate, so we can't be careless."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Yun Duo quickly took the bowl from Yun Dazheng's hand, took two big gulps, and then looked up at Yun Dazheng with a smile: "It's so sweet."
