Juanjuan woke up early as usual, but discovered something strange about the day.
That is, the parents don't sleep in the bed.
That's very strange.
Looking at the barely dawning sky outside, Juanjuan rubbed her eyes, yawned, put on her shoes, rolled out of bed, and went to see if her brothers had returned.
Is she all alone at home now?
The morning breeze carries the scent of damp earth after the rain, birdsong fills the air, and the sky is clear and azure, with one or two white clouds like snowflakes, as if they were painted on the sky.
As soon as Juanjuan stepped out, she saw her second brother exercising and her third brother sitting in the yard playing with a small bird.
Good morning, Juanjuan.
Her second brother was the first to greet her.
Then her third brother looked over and smiled at her, saying, "Get up."
Juanjuan blinked, a polite response to her brothers, and then asked, "Where are Dad and Mom?"
"Oh, Father and Mother."
Bai Yun'an looked at his younger sister, thought for a moment, and said, "They went out with eldest brother, it seems they were going to check out the shop. Eldest brother is greedy, so he went out with them."
"My second brother and I stayed to keep Juanjuan company."
Juanjuan had just nodded, already believing, when she heard Third Brother's inner thoughts.
Where are Mom and Dad? They're obviously out checking on last night's harvest with Gou Dan.
What were the results last night?
That's right!
Juanjuan recalled last night, which felt like a dream: it was raining, thundering, and her brothers weren't there.
So, what did the brothers do last night?
Juanjuan was curious, but dared not ask.
Who told her to keep her ability to read minds a secret? Normally, Juanjuan, who can't read minds, wouldn't know this.
Juanjuan took a deep breath and told herself not to be so curious, not to be so curious.
Just because she wasn't curious enough to ask doesn't mean others weren't wondering about it.
Mother: [This Yun An is truly remarkable; no wonder he's an unfavored prince who is still feared by others.]
Juanjuan: ? How come the Third Prince's persona has suddenly been confirmed again?
Father: [That's impressive. Throwing out the disaster relief funds has made it known to everyone, and some people have even hoarded them. This is adding insult to injury for the Kang family; truly remarkable.]
Juanjuan: So, last night the brothers went to the Kang family and threw the disaster relief money outside?
Juanjuan had never seen disaster relief funds, but she had heard of them; they were given to people who suffered from natural disasters and man-made calamities.
Eldest brother: [Although this idea came from the youngest brother, I couldn't be left out. I'm quite capable too!]
Juanjuan ate her pancake and nodded casually.
She knew her older brother was very capable.
Bai Tian and Jiang Dai said they were also very clever; in just one morning, they had come up with a story about the appearance of the Kang family's disaster relief funds.
"Did you know? The Kang family has committed countless evils. Last night, the heavens couldn't stand it anymore, so a bolt of lightning struck the Kang family directly. With a crack, the disaster relief funds seemed to be controlled by magic and came out on their own!"
Mu Zhaoyuan, who was about to take Juanjuan to the horse farm: ?
Juanjuan, who happened to overhear this: ?
"Let's go take a look."
Mu Zhaoyuan immediately dismounted and sat down with Juanjuan at the tea stall, listening to the chatter of several older women.
"You must be kidding! How could silver run away by itself!"
"Are you kidding me? Those disaster relief funds were just lying around in front of the Kang family's house, and some even ran off to other people's homes. Wasn't it because God couldn't stand it and struck down a bolt of lightning, causing the disaster relief funds to run away? Tell me, who did that?"
"What if...someone did this?"
"With so much silver, wouldn't the Kang family hide it very carefully? How could one person take out the silver and put it in someone else's house? With so many people involved, do you think the Kang family would be stupid enough not to notice?"
"What you're saying makes some sense. With too few people, it can't be done; with more people, the Kang family will know."
The old woman, who firmly believed it was divine intervention, slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Of course!"
Juanjuan looked at the old woman who believed in God's help and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.
