Tang Qiqi said, "Uncle Zhuzi, you were so brave today, just like a father protecting his wife and children!"
She noticed that both her mother and Uncle Zhu seemed very uncomfortable. Her mother's cheeks were flushed, like a shy young girl, while Uncle Zhu turned into a blushing, stammering man: "Qiqi, no... you can't talk nonsense!"
"I'm not making this up, Uncle Zhu. Were you just about to sacrifice yourself to save my daughter and me? I wish you were really my father." Tang Qiqi continued to stir things up. After all, she was a child and could do whatever she wanted.
"Qiqi, don't talk nonsense!" Xu Lanzhi quickly scolded.
Tang Qiqi continued, disregarding everything else, "That's true. Qiqi has never seen her father since birth. Uncle Zhuzi was there for us during the most difficult days. He's like a father to us sisters, even though he's not our father!"
Today, when Erzhuzi protected them, the word "Lanzhi" sounded different to Tang Qiqi. She had always felt that Uncle Zhuzi had a special feeling for her mother, and now she was sure of it!
While this might not be apparent in ordinary times, the mother's vulnerability and helplessness became apparent in this crisis.
When Xu Lanzhi was protecting her, Tang Qiqi could clearly feel that Xu Lanzhi was trembling. Later, after Erzhuzi broke through the encirclement and hugged them, Xu Lanzhi obviously relaxed.
Tang Qiqi seemed to see a hint of ambiguous emotion in her eyes. In order to preserve this hard-won little happiness, Tang Qiqi hesitated for a moment, so the three-wheeled motorcycle in the space didn't have a chance to show off. Otherwise, General Liu probably wouldn't have had anything to do.
Tang Qiqi was hoping that this incident would help their relationship take a step forward, but Erzhuzi awkwardly said, "Sister-in-law, I was in a moment of panic and offended you. Please forgive me. Qiqi is still young and speaks without thinking. Please don't take it to heart."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lanzhi said calmly, "Brother Zhuzi, you're overthinking it. Qiqi has always been so unreliable. Now that this matter is settled, let's go back quickly. We have a lot of things to do at home!"
"Oh!" Erzhuzi didn't understand why Xilanzhi suddenly became so cold. He thought she was angry because of what Qiqi had said, and he felt bored. He could only obediently lower his head and follow behind him.
Tang Qiqi noticed that after Erzhuzi finished speaking, her mother's expression turned sour, and she even walked with a brisk pace.
Tang Qiqi glared at Erzhuzi. Shouldn't the man take the initiative in this kind of thing? Instead, he not only didn't put in any effort, but he also hurriedly tried to distance himself from the situation. Which woman wouldn't be angry in his place?
"Uncle Zhu, you're such a blockhead!" Tang Qiqi said angrily, then left him to chase after Xu Lanzhi. Her matchmaking journey was far from over!
Erzhuzi was completely baffled, muttering to himself, "Everything was fine just now, how come the mother and daughter are angry now? What did I do wrong?"
Tang Qingshan felt ashamed to go back because he had been beaten and, more importantly, because of the terrible things he had done. After all that, Tang Yongnian stopped pressuring him, and the father and son stayed at the inn, waiting for Tang Qingshan to recover before making further plans.
This was a rare moment of alone time for the father and son, and their misunderstandings gradually eased.
One day, when he had nothing to do, Tang Qingshan asked curiously, "Dad, how come Tang Qiqi is so powerful? She can summon fierce dogs and even mighty generals."
Tang Yongnian couldn't explain it clearly; he was just as bewildered as everyone else. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed such a strange thing.

He pondered for a long time and said, "I can't say for sure either. It's all over the streets and alleys now. People are saying that Tang Qiqi is a celestial maiden descended to earth and has supernatural powers."
But thinking about it carefully, Qiqi is really an extraordinary child. You see, the Lanzhi family's life has become much better ever since he was born.
"They've set up chicken farms, established planting bases, and now Jiaping's family and those two boys are back to trading goods. This Qiqi is something else!"
Tang Qingshan asked incredulously, "Dad, are you saying that Sister Lanzhi's family's rise to prominence is all thanks to Tang Qiqi? That can't be, he's just a little kid."
“Children are not all the same. Look at your son, he’s four years old now, what can he do? And look at Qiqi, Xu Lanzhi takes care of all the big and small things in their family!”
Tang Qingshan said thoughtfully, "Father, what you say is true. What is it about Tang Qiqi that makes her so special?"
Seeing Tang Qingshan deep in thought, Tang Yongnian immediately reminded him, "Let me tell you, don't get any funny ideas. Lanzhi is loyal and devoted to our family. If you do anything to betray them, it would be an outrage against heaven and earth!"
Tang Qingshan looked at Tang Yongnian and said, "Dad, you just said you believed I had changed my ways. I was confused before, but I wasn't really stupid. Now I know who's good to me. Besides, if I knew Tang Qiqi was so capable, would I have gone to cause trouble for her family? Would I be out of my mind?"
Tang Yongnian nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's at least human. But look at Qiqi, your son Tiedan can't keep loafing around at home like this every day."
Tang Yongnian is starting to worry about his grandson again!

Xu Lanzhi didn't ask Tang Qiqi about General Liu's matter the whole way. She was going to ask on the way, but Tang Qiqi brought up his relationship with Erzhuzi. Erzhuzi was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he hurriedly tried to clear his name, which made Xu Lanzhi very unhappy. She was too busy being angry the whole way.
Now she wants to find out who General Liu really is. She feels that what he said before he left was an implication, which makes Xu Lanzhi very uneasy!
Xu Lanzhi grabbed Tang Qiqi anxiously and asked, "Qiqi, tell your mother carefully, who exactly is this General Liu? He said he came here specifically to save you, but how did he know you were in trouble? Are they good people or bad people?"
Tang Qiqi said helplessly, "My goodness, you're asking so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?"
Xu Lanzhi said seriously, "Answer them one by one, don't miss any!"
Tang Qiqi had no choice but to honestly reply, "But I can't answer any of these questions. I only stayed with them in Lanling for two days, and all I know is that they are an extremely wealthy family. As for whether they are good or bad people, who knows? Anyway, they were very kind to me!"
Xu Lanzhi asked worriedly, "Did they say anything to you? I always feel like they're after you. Even though he saved us today, he's my own daughter. Why should he tell me what to do and tell me to raise her properly? Do you know what they mean by this?"
Tang Qiqi said impatiently, "Mother, you're overthinking it. They are very particular families. Maybe they just can't stand how wild I am, that's why they said that. Don't take it to heart. They don't think they can control everything, let alone me, Tang Qiqi! No way!"
