Yun Ruiqian hugged Sisi's waist and snuggled against her. "Sixth Sister, you're so kind. Sixth Sister, I'm so envious of Twelfth. I wish I were as small as Twelfth."

Yun Ruiqian is the eldest son of Sisi's second grandfather's sixth cousin. He is five years old this year and is the ninth among the boys of Sisi's generation.

Sisi pinched Yun Ruiqian's little face. "Sit still, Sixth Sister will get you a leg of lamb."

"Okay. Sixth Sister, can I play with you from now on?"

"Yes." Sisi took a leg of lamb, scraped off some meat, and gave it to Yun Ruiqian.

Yun Ruiqian hugged a lamb leg, munching on it while smiling at Sisi.

Sisi also grabbed a leg of lamb and started gnawing on it.

Yun Ruiqian was even happier. Sixth Sister also loved gnawing on lamb legs.

The other children gathered around when they saw Yun Ruiqian getting the lamb leg.

"Sixth sister, I like you too."

"Sixth cousin, I want to play with you too."

...

Soon, a bunch of little kids surrounded Sisi.

Sisi gave each of them a spare rib to grab and gnaw on.

Twelve was sunbathing in Wang Ningxue's arms when she turned around and saw a bunch of children surrounding Sisi.

Twelve immediately panicked. "Ahhh... Get away! Get out of my way! My sister is mine! Mine!"

Wang Ningxue was also afraid that if Sisi had another younger brother, she wouldn't love Twelve anymore.

So, when Twelve started acting up, Wang Ningxue took Twelve to find Sisi. "Sixth, Twelve wants to eat meat too."

Sisi took Twelve from her. "Twelve can't eat meat yet, can she?"

"No. Give him a bone with the meat scraped off so he can gnaw on it and he'll stop making a fuss."

"Okay." Sisi gave Twelve a bone.

Twelve grabbed the bone with one hand and Sisi's clothes with the other. "Ahhh..." My sister is mine, you're not allowed to take her from me.

The children older than Sisi were still a little too proud to admit it.

Sisi ignored them.

After finishing their meal, Sisi and her group set off again.

Grandpa Yun finally had a chance to ask Sisi a question. "Sixth Brother, did your master already guess that Qi Zhiyuan would make things difficult for us?"

Sisi thought to herself: "Does this even need to be guessed? Great-Grandpa, you've offended so many people, there must be one or two fools among them."

"...Do you mean Qi Zhiyuan could be someone else?"

"Hmm. Also, if I were Qi Zhiyuan, I wouldn't be openly dealing with you guys."

"..."

Yun Yuqi and Old Madam Yun were also in Sisi's carriage.

Yun Yuqi: "Then... what will they do?"

Sisi looked at Yun Yuqi and said, "If I were Qi Zhiyuan, I would hire a bunch of bandits to kill you all."

Yun Yuqi: "..." Luckily, Qi Zhiyuan isn't as bad as you. No, his grandfather and father offended more than just Qi Zhiyuan. "Then... then don't let Lao Hei go hunting anymore."

"There are only those who steal for a thousand days, not those who guard against thieves for a thousand days. If you want to live, practice your skills properly."

After saying that, Sisi prepared her little bed. "I'm sleepy, I'm going to take a nap."

Yun Yuqi wanted Grandpa Yun to talk to Sisi and tell her not to let Lao Hei go out. "Grandpa?"

"Xiao Liu is right. Starting tomorrow, in addition to practicing your skills, you'll run alongside the carriage for two hours each time. Your grandmother and I will run too."

Sisi's mood improved a bit.

Yun Yuqi: "..."

After dinner that evening, Grandpa Yun announced the decision.

Needless to say, the Yun family members are the first to be targeted if anyone else were to try something underhanded.

Sun Xingyao and his men had been chased before, and they knew that running fast might save their lives.

After thinking it over, Gao Pengcheng and the others decided to follow the carriage. Qi Zhiyuan's situation had shown them that they were now in the same boat as the Yun family.

So, starting from the second day, Sisi and the others changed their routine to getting up early in the morning to practice martial arts for an hour, then eating, and finally setting off.

After setting off, recite the text for one hour. After one hour, get off and run with the carriage. The younger and older should run less. Yun Yuqi's generation and Sisi's generation, those aged thirteen and above, must run for a full hour.

Run, then have lunch. After lunch, read for an hour. After an hour, run again.

Apart from Feng Chan, Twelve, and Twelve's wet nurse, everyone else had to run away.

Feng Chan is pregnant, and Twelve can't run yet.

Dr. Sun didn't really need to run. But he felt that since Old Master Yun had run, why shouldn't he?

Shen Tengwen was resting with his eyes closed when he suddenly heard a commotion. He knocked on the carriage door. "Why is it so noisy outside?"

The coachman said as he drove the carriage, "Sir, there's a group of people following the carriage outside. They're quite strange. There are old people and young people, men and women, yamen runners, and... wait, sir, I saw Minister Yun. Sir, they're from the Yun family."

"The Yun family? Wasn't the Yun family exiled by the Emperor?"

"Yes, sir. Are the guards deliberately making things difficult for them?"

Shen Tengwen frowned. Minister Yun was devoted to the people, yet he ended up in exile. "Stop them."

"yes."

Grandpa Yun was running with great enthusiasm when he was suddenly stopped. "Who are you?"

Lord Shen stepped down from the carriage. "Old Master, do you still remember me?"

Old Master Yun looked at it. "I remember. You visited me when you passed the imperial examination. What brings you here?"

"I'm going to the prefectural city on business. What are you all doing here...?"

"We are exercising."

"Exercise?"

"Um."

Lord Shen did not believe it.

Lord Shen looked at Chao Yun Xiaoba and walked over. "Little one, how old are you this year?"
