Qin Jue looked at the black marks on his body left by Xiao Xi'er's dirty little hands.
Then look at Xiaoxi'er, and you wouldn't know unless you looked. She's definitely a little tabby kitten!
The dirt on her face, mixed with her tears, stuck to Xiao Xi'er's fair and delicate face.
Their clothes were covered in mud and sap from leaves, and their little hands were especially black.
"Little Xi'er, let's go back and take a bath, okay?"
"I don't want to."
Xiao Xi shook her head in refusal. She hadn't had enough fun yet, so how could she go back?
"Little Xi'er has turned into a little kitten, how can Daddy hold her?"
"Daddy, hold me like this."
Xiao Xi sat motionless on Qin Jue's lap, letting Qin Jue see himself.
"A little while later, some people started calling Xiaoxi a lump of coal."
"What (what)"
Little Xi'er opened her big eyes and said, "Daddy, I don't want to become a black lump of coal!"
"But Xiaoxi doesn't want to wash herself clean, otherwise she'll just look like a lump of coal!"
"Come on, Daddy, let's go back and wash up."
"Alright then, Daddy will take Xiaoxi back to get a good bath."
"Yay! Daddy's so good!"
Sanhezi following behind was utterly unbearable to watch; His Majesty was now trying to fool the little princess.
It was incredibly easy for him, and he felt absolutely no guilt.
His Majesty is such a grown man, doesn't he feel embarrassed to fool the little princess? Sigh.
——————
The dimly lit room was filled with cold air, and the man, though only in his thirties, already had a full head of white hair.
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the man threw a cup he was holding at him.
"Useless! Three years have passed, and you haven't found anything!"
"Master, three years ago, our people happened to see Xiao Liyan still alive."
"But in these three years, our subordinates have searched everywhere but haven't found her. She might... be dead."
The person speaking on the ground was struck by a burst of internal force and coughed up blood.
"Dead, huh~"
"She faked her death to escape; if she were dead, it would have saved her a lot of trouble."
"Has her younger brother been found?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, no..."
Immediately afterward, another surge of internal force struck, and the person on the ground was forced against the door, still spitting blood.
"What a bunch of useless idiots, why aren't you going to go find them?"
"I'll go right away."
The person who got up from the ground quickly disappeared from the house.
Are you really dead?
The white-haired man held a teacup and pondered.
"Luo Er"
At a command, a person dressed in black knelt where Luo Yi had just knelt.
"Your subordinate is here. Since she may really be dead, then let the news reach the 'Gannarle' family."
"Spread the word while you're at it."
"A hundred years have passed, and the Chi Maiden will soon appear."
"Your subordinate obeys."
"Wait, remember to be 'good' to the 'Gannarle' family."
"After all... they lost their priest and the head of the family."
The white-haired man put down his teacup, his eyes fixed on the only light on in the entire house.

Qin Jue threw the towel in his hand behind him.
"Yansheng, where did you get so angry? You're like a towel that carries internal energy."
"Get out!"
Yu Ying then realized that Qin Jue was giving Xiao Xi'er a bath.
"Is it really necessary? Little Xi'er is still so young."
As Yu Ying finished speaking, another gust of palm wind struck him, and Yu Ying left the palace without hesitation.
Little Xi'er was still pondering how her father made the towel fly so far, and why that shadowy uncle always appeared with a "whoosh".
After Qin Jue finished tidying up Xiao Xi'er, Yu Ying reappeared.
"Yanfa, Consort Shu has returned to the General's Mansion."
Qin Jue wasn't surprised at all to hear that Yang Jiaojiao had returned to the General's Mansion. Xiao Xi'er also turned around at this moment.
"When she gets back, the usual routine, don't forget."
Our little Xi'er is very poor.
Upon hearing this, Yu Ying recalled how, over the years, Consort Shu had been tricked out of many things by Qin Jue because of the Second and Third Princes.
Derivative works are not like this.
"Father, what do you mean by poor? Am I poor?"
"Being poor means having no money. Does Xiaoxi have any money on her?"
"What money do we have? I don't think I can buy any cattle."
"Money can buy delicious food."
"I only eat my dad's good food, I have no money and no good food."
Xiao Xi lowered her head and thought for a while. After figuring it out, she raised her head and looked at Qin Jue with a serious expression.
"Poor family"
"Father. I'm poor, I have no money."
Qin Jue felt deeply gratified to see that Xiao Xi'er was on the same wavelength as him.
"It's alright, Daddy will help Xiaoxi earn money."
"So squishy! So squishy! (Yay! Yay!)"
"Daddy's the best!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Ying understood. Ever since the little princess was personally raised by Yan Sheng...
This led to an even greater fondness for money; he would collect any money he had and save it for his little princess.
The little princess's private treasury is now almost more than her entire life's savings. How can she be called poor?
Then what am I? A beggar? A pauper? Yu Ying was deeply shocked.
Qin Jue noticed the look in Yu Ying's eyes.
"Aren't you leaving? I'm asking you to leave."
I'm leaving now.
Yu Ying feared that if he stayed, he would suffer even more setbacks, so she decided to leave.
"But Daddy, even if I buy some food, I still don't have any money left."
"How about Daddy teaches Xiaoxi how to make money?"
