Seeing that Xu Lanzhi finally understood her feelings, Tang Qiqi yawned widely and fell asleep in Xu Lanzhi's arms.

Xu Lanzhi felt enlightened. Tang Qiqi was extraordinary from birth. Since she had this idea, it would definitely work out tomorrow.

Xu Lanzhi waited with hope until the east began to lighten, but she was also a little worried. What if the young master of the Sun family refused to drink milk?

Everyone says that waiting is the most agonizing thing. Xu Lanzhi couldn't stay in bed any longer. She got up, put on her clothes, and looked around at the courtyard gate.

But then she discovered someone hiding in a corner outside the courtyard. Xu Lanzhi was startled and asked sharply, "Who's there!"

It turned out to be Erzhuzi. He quickly said, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, it's me, Erzhuzi!"

Xu Lanzhi asked curiously, "Erzhuzi, what are you doing here?"

Erzhuzi smiled憨厚ly and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm worried that bad guys will come and harass you again. It's just you and the children at home, so I'll guard the door for you!"

Xu Lanzhi was somewhat touched and said to Erzhu, "You silly boy, you must have been freezing outside all night, come inside quickly, I'll pour you a cup of hot tea to warm you up!"

Erzhuzi shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, I won't go in. Chunya and the others are here, so as not to make them worry. It's getting light, so I'll go back now!"

Erzhuzi was about to leave after speaking when Xu Lanzhi stopped him, saying, "Wait here for me!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back into the house. A short while later, he came out with two steamed buns in his hand and handed them to Erzhuzi: "You've been guarding here all night, you probably haven't had dinner yet, right? Take these to tide you over."

Erzhuzi was about to decline, but Xu Lanzhi said, "Your brother Dongsheng brought some things home, and I still have some in my room. You should eat them!"

Erzhuzi then took the steamed bun, took a few steps, then stopped and asked with a reluctant expression, "Sister-in-law, are you really going to the Qian family to exchange for Granny Wang?"

Xu Lanzhi smiled at him and said, "Sister-in-law has thought of another way. You should go back and rest. Thank you, Erzhuzi!"

Erzhuzi walked away dejectedly, his back view making people feel extremely lonely!

After seeing Erzhuzi off, Xu Lanzhi paced anxiously at the door. Finally, as the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, the steward of the Sun family and a handsome man rode in on horseback.

“Young master, that’s her family’s dairy cow!” the Sun family steward said, pointing at Xu Lanzhi.

After saying that, he turned to Xu Lanzhi and said, "Sister-in-law, this is our young master. Our young master loves to drink milk. He wants to offer a high price to buy your cow and deliver milk to you every day to feed your baby. What do you think?"

Xu Lanzhi curtsied to the young master Sun and said bluntly, "Young master Sun, before yesterday, we would never have sold these two cows, but a family emergency has occurred. I would like to ask for your help. If you can help, I will give you these cows for free!"

Seeing that Xu Lanzhi was neither humble nor arrogant, and that although she needed his help, she did not beg in a lowly manner and spoke in a way that was not offensive, Young Master Sun asked curiously, "I wonder what kind of help this sister-in-law needs from me?"

Xu Lanzhi recounted how Wang Shi had been falsely accused and how Qian Yuanwai had abused his power to bully others. Finally, she said, "Young Master Sun, we are just ordinary people. No matter how much you plead, no one will care. But my mother-in-law is the backbone of our family, and she has indeed been wronged. Young Master Sun, could you please help us?"

Upon hearing this, Young Master Sun asked, "Sister-in-law, the Master Qian you're talking about wouldn't happen to be the Master Qian from Willow Tree Town, would it?"

Xu Lanzhi nodded and said, "That's right, it's that Master Qian!"

Upon hearing this, the butler smiled and said, "Young master, what a small world! Whether it's for the young master's food rations or for some other reason, you can't just stand by and do nothing!"

Young Master Sun said to the butler, "You're quite the good guy, agreeing to this for me? Hurry up and milk the cows! If you starve my precious son, I'll skin you alive!"

Upon hearing this, the steward hurried to the woodshed to milk the cows!

Young Master Sun then said to Xu Lanzhi, "Sister-in-law, it's quite a coincidence that I have some connection with that Master Qian. Since that's the case, I'll go for you. Remember this: if your mother-in-law returns safely, I'll take this cow with me!"

Xu Lanzhi was overjoyed and readily agreed.

At this moment, Tang Chunya and her two sisters also got up. Tang Chunya was startled when she saw the imposing and noble young master Sun.

She quickly shrank back and muttered to her two younger sisters, "Who exactly is that person outside? I don't think Xu Lanzhi can be kept here. She's chatting and laughing with him again."

Tang Xiahe said with a stern face, "If you want to know what Lanzhi is doing, just ask her. Why do you always make up stories about her?"

After saying that, he was also curious and went out to take a look. At this time, the steward, Sun Fu, had already milked the cows, so Young Master Sun went out with the steward!

Once Tang Chunya saw that everyone had left, she immediately came over and questioned Xu Lanzhi: "Didn't you say you were going to the Qian family mansion to rescue your mother this morning? Why are you chatting with a man here so early in the morning!"

Xu Lanzhi was in a good mood because Young Master Sun was willing to help, so she didn't mind the barbed words from Tang Chunya.

She said to Tang Xiahe, "Second sister, our mother is saved! I told Young Master Sun that if he saves our mother, I'll give him the dairy cow, and he promised!"

Tang Xiahe was overjoyed to hear this and said happily, "Lanzhi, how are you so smart? We can't afford to offend that Qian guy, although there are people who can. Now that's great, your mother is saved, and you won't have to suffer anymore!"

Xu Lanzhi smiled. It wasn't that she was clever; it was that her little Qiqi was clever. However, she didn't say this to anyone. In other people's eyes, the more ordinary Qiqi was, the safer she was.

She paused and said, "Who says otherwise? It's just that our little Qiqi will have to suffer; she'll probably only be able to drink rice porridge from now on!"

Tang Chunya felt uneasy when she saw that Xu Lanzhi was ignoring her. She couldn't get a word in edgewise when she saw the two of them talking, so she could only feel anxious.

Now that she'd caught up in the conversation, she said casually, "Why does a little girl like you have to drink milk? It's a waste!"

Xu Lanzhi couldn't stand her talking about Qiqi like that, so she retorted, "Big sister, you're a woman yourself, how can you look down on your daughter so much? Why is our Qiqi not worthy of drinking milk?"

Tang Chunya was used to being assertive, and she really wasn't used to Xu Lanzhi's sudden toughness.

She argued unreasonably, saying, "If it weren't for you, Mother wouldn't have suffered this misfortune. How dare you take advantage of me? Isn't saving Mother your duty?"
