Chapter 276 Cat and Mouse
After careful analysis, Qiuqiu concluded that their Jinjin was doomed!
Chiu Chiu really loves Jin Fengnian. She's such a sweet and innocent girl, and she loves collecting gold coins; how could she live without them!
So she's determined to protect her naive and innocent Jinjin. [Anyone who dares to bully Jinjin, I'll beat them up!]
Chuchu's little fists are no joke!
Even without Chuchu sticking her butt out, Thirteen knew what she wanted to do. Holding Chuchu in one arm and grabbing Jin Fengnian's collar with the other, she walked away, saying, "I'll save your dog's life!"
Jin Fengnian: "What?!"
So many people are really after his life?
Pulling and tugging, Jin Fengnian finally sat down in the council hall of the Crown Prince's residence. He held his water cup tremblingly, completely disoriented.
Qiuqiu calmly munched on a sesame seed cake beside him. Jin Fengnian turned his head and glanced at her, "Why are you still eating?"
Chiu Chiu looked up blankly: "Huh?"
Isn't her main task just to eat here and be a pretty mascot?
Jin Fengnian was heartbroken: "This concerns the lives of the entire Jin family. If my father, my uncle, and I die, who will earn money for you? Where will you eat for free? Who will be your benefactor and praise you for being beautiful and cute every day?"
The crown prince nearly choked on his water and died on the spot. He looked at Jin Fengnian in disbelief, wondering if his decision to approach the Jin family had been too hasty.
Thirteen patted the prince on the back, "You need to get used to it. Would you like to take another look?"
Upon seeing this, the Crown Prince realized he would have been better off not looking at all!
Chiu Chiu grinned, showing his tiny teeth. He hadn't heard anything before, only noticing the words "pretty, beautiful, and cute."
If something happens to Jinjin, where can we find another person who is so good at flattering her!
Side Quest: Protect Jinjin!
She stopped eating the flatbread, wiped her mouth clean, and walked towards the prince.
The Crown Prince was puzzled: "What does she want to do to me?"
It looks fierce, which is kind of cute, but something seems off about its expression.
Thirteen pondered for a moment, then rubbed his chin. "He probably needs something from you."
Crown Prince: Is this how you ask for a favor?
Chiu Chiu showed His Highness the Crown Prince through her actions how she had always begged for favors since she was a child.
She beat him steadily, step by step, and when she was still a little distance from the prince, she lay down on the ground and started rolling around, covering her little face and crying loudly.
"Wow!"
"Aww, Jin Jin, woof woof woof!"
"Awoooooo!"
Chirp sobbed, and the Crown Prince pressed his forehead, feeling extremely uncomfortable. "Don't cry, I promise you, I'll promise you anything!"
She can't even squeeze out a few tears when she cries; she just screams at the top of her lungs, giving people a headache.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiuqiu scrambled to her feet, dusted herself off, and went back to munching on a flatbread.
【Done!】
The matter of transporting grain had obviously been exposed. It was of great importance. Jin Fengnian felt that the lives of his entire family were hanging by a thread. If they were not careful, they could all be buried alive and waiting to be reincarnated.
“Your Highness, the previous batches of grain and provisions were all personally overseen by me and my father! My uncle accompanied us the whole way. Our Jin family is innocent!”
He couldn't even bear the thought of rats appearing in the grain rations!
The Crown Prince asked Jin Fengnian to sit down first. Since he wanted to use someone, he would naturally investigate their ancestors for eighteen generations.
Although the Kim father and son are obsequious and ambitious, they are not bad people. Their desire for power is to protect their family.
Most importantly, he believes in Chuchu!
People who can play with Chiu Chiu can't be bad people.
"The first few batches of supplies were personally guarded by Gu, so there were absolutely no problems. You can rest assured. The gray-clad man you mentioned probably knew our plan and was aware that Gu's men had already withdrawn from the last batch of supplies."
"He put the rats into the last batch of grain, so that no matter how much grain was stored together with it at the border, it wouldn't be enough for the rats to spoil."
The question now is whether something went wrong on the Jin family's side or if there's a traitor within the Crown Prince's palace.
"Chirp, what do you think?"
Finally finishing her flatbread, Chiu Chiu let out a satisfied burp: "Burp~"
Why is everyone looking at me? She touched her face; there were no blemishes!
How does she see it? Of course, she sees it with her eyes!
Jin Fengnian pleaded, "Chirp chirp, look at your poor Jin Jin!"
Everyone has witnessed Chiu Chiu's ability to turn bad luck into good. May Chiu Chiu protect us!
It has to be said that Jin Fengnian really made the right choice in seeking help from the right person; Qiuqiu is truly a lucky charm!
Qiuqiu patted Jin Fengnian's head, who was squatting in front of her, and said, "There's a way."
She has many men, but few followers.
What are mice afraid of? Cats!
The calf that was lost last time was adopted by Jin Fengnian. If you eat Jin's food, you have to do Jin's work.
Chiu Chiu waved her little hand: "Send them away!"
Jin Fengnian's face fell: "Send the little cow to the border???"
"It's still a child!"
That was his own daughter, to whom he had no blood relation!
Chiu Chiu glared at him, her eyes hinting: Are you out of your mind?
Jin Fengnian looked dejected and could only nod under the gaze of three pairs of eyes.
Chiu Chiu secretly mocked Jin Jin for not knowing its value. The little cow was Little Fatty Orange's trusted underling, with countless followers, but only Jin Jin would truly treat it like a little fool.
With the little cow on the trail, every cat that catches its scent will give chase. The cat army provides excellent protection, ensuring not a single reckless mouse dares to pursue it!
"It's only natural for a cat to catch a mouse." The Crown Prince was satisfied. "Young Master Jin, you should understand what I mean."
Even if Jin Fengnian didn't understand, he had to understand: sacrifice his daughter and a cat to save the whole family's lives.
"Can this humble subject go along? Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. It's not that I'm worried about the little cow, but I need to personally ensure the safety of the grain."
The Crown Prince said, “If you wish, you may go. Now that things have come to this, I will not hide anything from you. I have always felt that the Turks’ request for peace was unusual, and this time I am just being prepared. I will not stop you from going, but I can tell you that this trip is dangerous, and I cannot be sure of your safety.”
"Are you still going?"
Jin Fengnian said without hesitation: "Go!"
He bowed deeply to the Crown Prince, kowtowing once: "Your Highness, although I may be a bit carefree, I know the principle that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. As a citizen of the Great Zhou, I should shoulder the responsibilities of a Great Zhou person. I have no regrets about this journey!"
"Good!" The Crown Prince slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "Jin Fengnian, I underestimated you before."
"This is how a man of the Great Zhou should be!"
Everyone knows that the eldest son of the Jin family only knows how to eat, drink, have fun, and curry favor with powerful figures; no one would suspect anything if he went out. He could also find a way to secretly send messages back if anything seemed amiss.
This matter should not be delayed. Jin Fengnian said nothing, went home, stole a calf, left a letter for his father, and ran away.
Before leaving, Qiuqiu hugged Jin Fengnian and said, "Good luck to Jin Jin!"
Jin Jin is going to be a great hero this time, and Qiu Qiu will protect him!
Chiu Chiu had done something big without saying a word, and felt even more melancholy. She followed Thirteen back in a sullen mood.
Chirp: "Wrong."
Thirteen: "Hmm?"
Chirp chirp: "Go outside, home!"
Despite my worries, I still have to go and file a complaint.
Thirteen silently lit a candle for Gao Wenyan in his heart. It seems that the shadow that this kid left on Qiuqiu is too great!
If this kid keeps causing trouble, will he ever become the Yun family's son-in-law?
