"Liu Si, go and find out what the little princess's relationship is with Qi'er."
Liu Si looked puzzled.
"Your Highness, if you want to know, why don't you just ask His Highness?"
Hearing Liu Si's words, Tang Shiya shook her head. "What I want to know is, in the little princess's eyes, what is her relationship with Ji'er like?"
"I understand, I'll go right away."
"Okay, go ahead."
Zisu had just finished helping Tang Shiya change her clothes, so she bowed to Tang Shiya and left.

outside the palace
"What are your plans regarding Ma Yuling's matter?"
Qin Jingmu glanced at Qin Jingtai, then at Qin Jingyu, and sat on the stool, looking back at the chair.
"Your Majesty... Brother, what are you going to do?"
Qin Jingtai also looked at Qin Jingyi, blinked, and said in a silly manner.
"Don't you all use your brains to think about it? Why are you all asking me?"
Qin Jingyi also slumped down on a stool by the window, opening the window to look out at the hustle and bustle of the street.
"You're the eldest brother, the boss. Who else should we ask if not you?"
"Second brother, if the third brother said that, I might believe him. Do you think I would believe you if you said it?"
"Or, ask yourself: you probably don't even believe your own words!"
After speaking, Qin Jingyu looked back at the bustling street below, while Qin Jingmu turned his head and looked at Qin Jingyu with a half-smile.
"Since you, second brother, have already declared me the eldest, then you and third brother should listen to me."
"Great! You're the boss, big brother! You're definitely our leader now!"
He means you're the oldest.
As Qin Jingtai finished speaking, Qin Jingmu added his own words, then looked at Qin Jingyi, his smile revealing a growing malice.
"I think my second brother should have a solution. Why don't you do it?"
After speaking, Qin Jingyi walked to the side and began to drink his tea.
"But speaking of which, brother, what are you planning to do?"
Qin Jingmu changed the subject and looked at Qin Jingyi.
"Heh~"
"Third brother, go out and find out what's going on at the Nantong Earl's Mansion, especially about Ma Yuling."
"Come here to find me and your brother in one hour."
Upon hearing Qin Jingyi's words, Qin Jingtai stood up. "Alright, then, brother, I'll go right now."
Go ahead.
Qin Jingtai left the private room, and Qin Jingmu looked at Qin Jingyi, who had taken a teacup and sat down by the window to drink tea again.
After waiting for a while without Qin Jingyu speaking, Qin Jingmu spoke first.
"Isn't Big Brother going to say something?"
"What does my second brother want me, his older brother, to say?"
Qin Jingmu fell silent and bowed down.
"Brother, won't you tell me why you sent Qin Jingtai away?"
"Who told you that I deliberately sent him away?"
Qin Jingyi turned to look at Qin Jingmu, his face still bearing that same smiling expression.
"Isn't that so?"
After a pause, Qin Jingyi put down his teacup and sat down opposite Qin Jingmu.
"I deliberately sent Qin Jingtai away, but that wasn't it either."
"What?"
"We'll know pretty much when Qin Jingtai returns."
Although he didn't understand Qin Jingyu's words, Qin Jingmu simply nodded, not responding, and waited for what Qin Jingyu would say next.
"We two are still very different."
"Did you bring enough silver?"
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
Before Qin Jingmu could answer, Qin Jingju stood up and walked ahead, and Qin Jingmu quickly got up to follow.
My mind was still replaying Qin Jingyao's words, "We two are still different."
Where are we going?
Qin Jingmu walked beside Qin Jingyao, and after following him for a while, seeing that they hadn't arrived at their destination yet, he asked...
"How have you felt these past few days outside the palace with me?"
Qin Jingyu didn't answer but asked a question instead.
"What is it that you are talking about, elder brother?"
You can talk about it from all aspects.
Qin Jingmu thought about all the things that had happened during the past few days while staying at the inn with Qin Jingyu.
"Leaving that place, venturing out, and not going back to my maternal grandparents' house, always gives one a sense of exploring the unknown."
"And... the panic of knowing nothing, and the uncertainty about the future."
"ha--"
Qin Jingyu chuckled after hearing Qin Jingmu's words.
"Since this is your first time leaving the palace, don't go back to your maternal grandparents' home; stay outside instead."
"Big brother was absolutely right."
"For nearly seven days, you've been confined to the inn and haven't been allowed to leave. This has caused you to feel panicked and uncertain, which only shows that you can't control the present or the future."
"When we first came out, did you think I was going to take you into the Nantong Earl's Mansion disguised as someone to teach Ma Yuling a lesson?"
"As a result, I never went with you, nor did I tell you what to do next, so you have no idea what happened afterward."
Upon hearing Qin Jingyu's words, Qin Jingmu turned his head in shock to look at Qin Jingyu beside him.
It's entirely because Qin Jingyu said exactly what Qin Jingmu was thinking.
"Don't look at me. When you know, face, and have enough control, you won't have this kind of panic and worry."
"Qin Jingmu, you've always thought we were on the same path, but in reality, we're on completely different paths."
"They look very similar, so you might think they'd be the same. But in reality, they only look alike; they never actually intersect."
"I'll take you to a place you've never been before."
After saying this, Qin Jingyi didn't speak again, but quickened his pace.
Qin Jingmu pondered Qin Jingyi's words while quickening his pace.
A short while later, Qin Jingyu and Qin Jingmu stood in front of a shop.
Upon reaching the entrance, Qin Jingmu looked up at the sign above the door: "Money Comes".
