There are people guarding the area near the forest where the bamboo house is located. These people pretend to be villagers or passing merchants. On the surface, they are just ordinary people, but in fact they are responsible for protecting the safety of Qin Zhao's family.

As long as someone wants to approach this place, Qin Zhao will get the news in advance.

The visitor openly revealed his surname to be Qi, and it was obvious who he was.

Qin Zhao stood up and asked, "Did he come here alone?"

"Yes." The young man said, "We have checked and no one is following us."

Qin Zhao: "Let him in."

The young man took the order and went to do it. Not long after the man left, Jing Li came out after changing his clothes and holding the fish baby.

"Who's here?" Jing Li asked.

Qin Zhao: "Qi Xuan."

Jing Li was shocked: "How did he find this place?"

"I guess Xiao Yue said that." Qin Zhao didn't care and didn't seem too surprised.

He looked up at Jing Li. He and Yuzi were wearing clothes made of the same material. The collar and cuffs of the pomegranate red jacket were sewn with a circle of white rabbit fur, which made them warm and cute.

Qin Zhao straightened Jing Li's collar and said, "The sweet potatoes are already roasting. You come watch the fire later."

"Yeah!" Jing Li nodded obediently.

The sweet potatoes had just been put into the pot and needed to be roasted for a while, but the little fish couldn't wait. As soon as he came out, he ran to the stove eager to try it out, but Qin Zhao quickly grabbed him.

The two little balls on the little fish cub's head were pinned by Qin Zhao this morning. Now they have become a little loose and sway as he walks.

Qin Zhao said, "It's not cooked yet, don't be impatient."

The little fish cub was grabbed by the collar, kicked his legs, and snuggled into Qin Zhao's arms: "Hungry..."

The kid has grown a lot taller these days, and his facial features have also developed a little. The more he looks at him, the more he looks like he was carved from the same mold as Qin Zhao.

"Just wait a little longer, and we'll be ready to eat." Qin Zhao squatted down, rubbed the little fish's head, and looked up at Jing Li. "Did your son learn all these tricks from you?"

She is becoming more and more skilled at acting coquettishly.

"How is that possible?" Jing Li denied it. "Have I ever done that? Ah Qi, what do you think?"

"..." Ah Qi was inexplicably dragged into the couple's flirting, and his ears turned red. "I, I don't know."

The young man's embarrassed look made Jing Li burst out laughing. Qin Zhao said helplessly: "Stop teasing him."

This was the scene Qi Xuan saw when he walked along the secluded mountain road.

The family was happily chatting among themselves, not paying any attention to him, the upcoming guest. Qi Xuan stood outside the fence for a moment, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he cleared his throat again.

“Ahem!”

Qin Zhao turned his head and smiled faintly: "Are you here?"

"..." Qi Xuan was so scared that he almost took a step back. "Come on, come on."

Qin Zhao returned the little fish to Jing Li and squeezed his hand soothingly before letting go. He then glanced at the little emperor standing outside the door, dressed in ordinary clothes, and said indifferently, "Come in."

The little emperor changed into a plain-colored robe today and wore a folding fan at his waist, looking more like a wealthy young man from an ordinary family.

Jing Li felt that this look suited him better.

Qin Zhao led the little emperor in, and Ah Qi followed to serve tea. Jing Li sat in the yard, holding the baby fish, watching the sweet potatoes roasting in the stove. The sweet potatoes gradually began to smell fragrant, but Jing Li seemed to have lost interest.

"Why are you looking for him now..." Jing Li muttered to himself as he stared at the main hall door. "I have a feeling he has bad intentions. What do you think?"

The little fish was concentrating on looking at the roasted sweet potatoes in the stove and ignored him.

"Fish, Daddy is talking to you!" Jing Li said dissatisfiedly.

The little fish turned around and looked at Jing Li blankly.
