Xiao Xi'er looked at the things on the ground and slid off Qin Jue.

"Slow down, do you hear me?"

"Okay, Daddy."

Little Xi ran to the ground and picked up the potato.

This one is yellow, and this one is purple.

Xiao Xi'er first picked up a potato and asked Qin Jue what it was.

Qin Jue squatted down, holding a potato in one hand and a sweet potato in the other.

Patiently explain to Xiaoxi

"This yellow one is a potato."

"This purple one is a sweet potato."

"What do they do?"

It's for eating.

Little Xi'er's eyes lit up when she heard it was about food.

She crawled up to Qin Jue's ear and said, "Daddy, let's hide it!"

Why hide it?

Xiao Xi was so frightened by Qin Jue's words that she quickly covered Qin Jue's mouth with her hand.

Then, looking at his father with an idiotic gaze, he seemed to think, "What a fool!"

Qin Jue was so amused by the way the little guy was looking at him that he almost laughed out of exasperation.

Xiao Xi'er felt relieved when she saw that no one was looking in her direction.

She climbed onto Qin Jue's shoulder again and whispered to him.

"Father, this batch of things fell from the sky."

"Since it fell into my nest, it's mine now, and I'm going to hide it."

"We can't let anyone else know about this."

"Daddy's so stupid!"

Xiao Xi'er wasn't satisfied with just talking. She also patted Qin Jue on the shoulder to comfort him.

"ha--"

"Let's do as Xiaoxi says."

"Uh-huh"

Xiao Xi nodded repeatedly.

It was at this moment that Zou Heng carried Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai in.

"Master, the things were thrown away by the Second Prince and the Third Prince."

Neither of them expected that their father would actually be in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The two felt their father's gaze upon them and dared not look up.

Xiao Xi broke the silence.

"Father, Liu Yin is here, what should we do?"

"Hide it quickly!"

Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai both wondered who it was when they heard that childish voice.

The two exchanged a glance and immediately looked up.

She really is the younger sister I've been longing for.

My little sister has a round face and a soft voice, she's so cute!

"It's alright, these all belong to Xiaoxi'er, no one can take them away."

"Cen Di? (Really?) Daddy, that's amazing!"

Qin Jue held Xiao Xi'er in his arms again.

After Qin Jue stood up, he noticed that the two boys had been staring at Xiao Xi'er ever since she started talking.

He glared at the two brothers.

"Brother, it's spring already, why is it still so cold?"

"Shut up."

Qin Jingmu made no attempt to hide his dislike for his younger brother.

"Little sister, little sister, it's me, your big brother!"

"Call me 'brother' so I can hear it, little sister?"

Qin Jingtai remained silent and did not answer Qin Jingmu.

However, Qin Jingtai turned his attention back to Xiao Xi'er.

Those eyes lit up the moment they saw Xiaoxi'er.

"Sister, I've finally seen you!"

Xiao Xi looked at the person in front of her who kept calling her "little sister".

I'm wondering if he mistook me for someone else; I don't have a pot.

"Father, is he...?"

"Those two are bad guys who stole Xiaoxi'er's things."

Xiao Xi'er immediately bristled upon hearing this.

"What?"

"Father, quickly chase them away! Our delicious food is almost gone!"

"Waaaaah"

Xiao Xi'er became increasingly sad, and climbed onto Qin Jue's shoulder to cry.

Qin Jingtai was still thinking about how to steal Xiao Xi'er's food.

When Qin Jingmu saw Xiao Xi'er crying, his heart ached, and he lowered his voice to comfort her.

"Little sister, don't cry. Big brother won't take Xiaoxi'er's food."

"Cen's (Really)?"

"Hmm—"

With just a glance from Qin Jue, Zou Heng stuffed something into the mouths of both Qin Jingmu and Qin Jingtai.

The two tried to speak, but could only make "uh-uh-" sounds.

The two people, whose mouths were stuffed with something, didn't understand why they were being gagged for no reason.

After Xiaoxi asked the question, she didn't receive a reply from either of them.

Blinking her tear-filled eyes, she looked at Qin Jue.

"Little Xi'er, look, they're not answering whether it's true or not anymore."

"They're bad guys, they wanted to steal Xiaoxi'er's food."

"Little Xi'er, don't you trust your father?"

Qin Jue also added a dejected tone.

Seeing that her father was unhappy, Xiao Xi'er used her two little hands to pull at one corner of Qin Jue's mouth, forcing a smile.

"Little Xi'er believes in her father."

"Daddy, don't be unhappy."

"Then Daddy will be happy. Daddy would never lie to Little Xi'er."

"Yes, little Xi'er will always remember (believe) her father. They're like little devils."

Qin Jingmu stared wide-eyed at his father in disbelief.

How could Father Emperor wrong me and Qin Jingtai like this?

We never intended to steal the little sister's food.

Father Emperor simply doesn't want us to have any contact with my little sister.

Even after Xiaoxi said it, she still felt very angry; she had almost believed it.

And those two scoundrels even upset Daddy.

Xiao Xi'er wanted to stay with Qin Jue, but found that Qin Jue was holding her very tightly and she couldn't get off at all.

Little Xi'er turned to look at Qin Jue and said in a soft voice, "Daddy, put me down."
