Amidst repeated praises, Ping'er managed to finish reciting her article, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and left with the excuse of changing clothes.
Wu Ziya watched them, their brotherly friendship and respect, as if the whole family's hopes rested on Ping'er. She was so angry that she almost tore her handkerchief. Why? Why?
She watched Ping'er leave alone, then stood up and followed her.
Seeing this, Aunt Jia pressed her nose with a handkerchief and said to Jiayue beside her, "I'm going to change my clothes."
"Let me stay with you." Jiayue was worried about her.
Aunt Jia nodded towards Lu Yan and said, "What a great opportunity! You should get pregnant soon. You'll be able to rely on her in the future."
Jiayue frowned as she watched Aunt Jia leave. It would be great if the spy could escape easily. Aunt Jia probably didn't know that she was already an abandoned child in the eyes of the Fourth Prince, right?

Wu Ziya looked at the shimmering lake behind Ping'er, a strange smile curling up at the corner of her mouth: "Ping'er is such a good child. Good children should be filial to their mothers. Mother likes fireflies. Can you help me catch some?"
Ping'er turned around and looked around. Sure enough, there were fireflies dotted around the lake. He didn't want to go, but he remembered the teachings of his teacher and nanny that one should be filial and respectful to elders, so he turned around and went to catch the fireflies.
Wu Ziya looked at Ping'er's back, her eyes flickering again and again.
