"What...what did you say to Yun Xiaoliu the day we arrived?"

"She didn't say anything. She just said that I liked her and asked her what she liked to do in her free time. She said she liked to go out and wander around. I asked her if she could take me with her. She said yes, so I went out with her."

"...You mean you asked her to take you out?"

Tian Yajiao nodded. Even the bandits didn't dare offend Yun Xiaoliu, so she certainly didn't. "Yes. Xiaoliu is so good to me. I told her I wanted to go out of town to play, and she took me. Mother, I want to embroider a handkerchief for Xiaoliu to express my gratitude."

Embroidered handkerchief? "Did you really ask her to take you out?"

"Really. Why would I lie to you? What pattern should I embroider?"

Madam Tian wanted to suggest embroidering a knife. "Mother doesn't know what she likes either. Let me tell you, she's incredibly shrewd, so don't mess with her."

"I've already provoked him." "How could I have provoked Xiao Liu? I like Xiao Liu so much, Xiao Liu is so cute."

Madam Tian believed her. "Your eldest brother is just scaring me. He said that Xiao Liu took you to a brothel."

"How could that be? Xiao Liu and I are both girls. How can girls go to brothels? Mother, I want to embroider a kitten. What do you say?"

"Okay. When I was Xiao Liu's age, I also liked cats and dogs. By the way, next time you want to go out and play with Xiao Liu, remember to tell me. I was almost scared to death by your older brother."

"My older brother is really bad."

"Um."

In the evening, Tian Minglei returned home to find his mother glaring at him. "Mother, why are you glaring at me?"

"You framed Xiao Liu."
