Fortunately, Shen Jiao had the foresight to worry that the child would be shy around strangers, so she was the only one who accompanied the little boy to breakfast.
Otherwise, she would probably have no choice but to pack her bags and go live on Mars for a while.
Fortunately, Madam Gu suddenly had something to discuss with Shen Jiao and called her away.
That's how they escaped the barrage of questions from Little Radish Head and Peashooter.
Granny Xi was very thoughtful, so Madam Gu specially hired Granny Xi to take care of Little Radish Head.
But the children run off very quickly after finishing their meal.
Granny Xi was getting old. At first, she could keep up with Little Radish, but after a while, she could no longer find the little boy.
Little Radish Head found the tyrant on a jujube tree.
Ji Yan lay on a tree branch, swinging one leg listlessly, watching the wild geese flying south through the gaps in the leaves.
His deep eyes were utterly still, like a stagnant pool.
Hearing the noise, Ji Yan glanced at it coldly to the side, then turned back.
They ignored the little radish head.
He doesn't just dislike this world; he loathes it and wishes he could destroy it all.
At the same time, he has no liking for humans as a species.
Even if it was a cute little boy he had personally kidnapped, he couldn't treat him well.
It can be said that he has reserved his best temper for Shen Jiao throughout his life.
Ji Yan was particularly fond of quiet when he was alone. Even the slightest sound would make him so irritable that he wanted to kill someone. Wang Fu was afraid of losing his head, so he never dared to disturb him without permission.
His long, slender fingers slowly snapped off a tree branch.
If he wanted, he could pierce Little Radish Head's throat with that branch, splattering blood everywhere.
But what if the frizzy hamster is unhappy?
Ji Yan was even more annoyed, but threw away the branch.
"Get out of here!" This was said to Little Radish Head.
"Are you in a bad mood?" Little Radish Head didn't leave.
She was so short that she had to crane her neck to see even a glimpse of the tyrant.
Ji Yan ignored it.
Not getting a response, Little Radish assumed that the handsome older brother was in a bad mood, so she obediently squatted down against the tree trunk.
"Then I'll sit with you for a while."
My mother once said that people in a bad mood will vent their malice on those around them, but they are not trying to express dislike; they just need to be alone for a while.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yan glanced at the little radish head again.
They felt that the little brat was just as brave as Shen Jiao.
Ji Yan suddenly became interested and picked a leaf, which he then accurately tossed onto the top of Little Radish's hair.
What business do you have with me?
Little Radish Head looked serious: "I want to have a talk with you."
Want to chat?
It's ridiculous that people from eighty- or ninety-year-old women to two- or three-year-old children in Da Yan are terrified and have nightmares just from hearing his name.
How dare a five-year-old brat speak so arrogantly? Let's have a chat with him.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
Little Radish sighed, looking like he'd been worrying for half his life: "At this age, I can't live without a child, I can't stand on my own two feet."
Ji Yan: "..."
He gave a half-smile: "Say it again?"
Little Radish Head: "Promise me you'll try your best?"
Ji Yan: "..."
Little Radish Head squinted: "Not talking? Is that not allowed?"
Ji Yan's tone was sinister: "Say one more word, and I'll cut out your tongue."
Little Radish Head was completely immersed in the role of an elder teaching the younger generation. She wanted to pat the tyrant on the shoulder, but unfortunately, she wasn't tall enough.
She did the next best thing and patted the tyrant's thigh.
"Add some fuel, so the neighbors won't laugh at us."
...
Madam Gu sought out Shen Jiao to ask when she planned to return to Great Yan.
These past few days, Master Gu and Gu An have been traveling around tirelessly, all in order to settle the affairs in the Southern Frontier as soon as possible and start anew in the Great Yan!
Because of a shortage of manpower, Liang Heng was also forced to do manual labor, but he was happy, after all, he was paid five thousand taels a day!
Who else but the Gu family would dare to squander money like that?
Who else dares?
Shen Jiao stated that the decision on when to depart rested with the tyrant and was beyond her control.
Mrs. Gu understood.
Although the tyrant had a bad reputation, being capricious and cruel, if viewed through the lens of a son-in-law, Lady Gu was still quite satisfied with Ji Yan.
Handsome, rich, devoted, and loyal—he's hard to find even with a lantern. How wonderful!
“Young people should travel and see the world. Your mother and father will go to the capital first. When you return, everything will be settled at home.” Madam Gu smiled gently.
She has two sons, and now she has a lovely and intelligent daughter, making her life complete.
Shen Jiao was at a loss, wanting to say something but hesitating, having so much to say but not knowing where to begin.
Madam Gu understood her meaning and said, "Jiaojiao, moving to Da Yan is a decision made after careful consideration by your mother and father. You don't need to feel burdened. Your mother has lived half her life in the Southern Frontier. Your father has been gone for many years, and His Majesty has grown up. We also want to visit the place where Jiaojiao lives."
I want to walk the path that Jiaojiao walked.
Enjoy the scenery that Jiaojiao has seen.
Let's appreciate the hardships Jiaojiao faces in her life.
Shen Jiao understood Madam Gu's meaning and felt a warmth in her heart: "Thank you, Mother."
"Something terrible has happened!" Granny Xi suddenly stumbled in.
Madam Gu's heart skipped a beat.
Granny Xi was born a palace maid and knew the rules very well; she rarely acted so loudly.
Something incredibly important must have happened!
Before she could catch her breath, Granny Xi exclaimed, "Princess, you must go and see! Young Master Ji is trying to kill Miss Guan!"
