“Q-qiaoqiao.” Wen Ruwan hurriedly stood back up and gave Qiao Mu an embarra.s.sed smile.

“Um, I heard that the city will be holding the Thousand Blossom Festival tomorrow.” Wen Ruwan could not speak fluently at first when she met the child’s dark eyes.

However, after calming her breathing and donning on a fake smile, her speech turned more fluent. “Um, the children haven’t taken a good look at Xijiu City despite how long they’ve been here. How about our whole family go to the central plaza tomorrow to see this festival…”

“Who’s family with you?” Qiao Mu’s face darkened. ‘What a thick-faced person.’

‘Do you think you’ll have the chance to intrude into our family in this life?’

Wen Ruwan shuddered, and her face switched between being flushed and ashen. She did not know how to continue.

“Um, ahem, there’s going to be a lot of people out on the streets tomorrow. Xiao Lin’er is still young, so it isn’t suitable for her to be in such a packed environment,” Second Uncle quickly smoothed things over. “How about we forget this matter?”

Who knew his youngest niece would be curious as she asked with a lisp, “Mother, yommy things to eet at Dousand Fower Festival?”

The hostile atmosphere was instantly dissolved by Xiao Lin’er’s childish words.

Qiao Mu’s tensed face relaxed, and she turned to look at her sister in amus.e.m.e.nt. “Yes, there’ll be a lot of flowers to eet.”

Xiao Lin’er’s eyes lit up. “Sister, I want to eet! Eet flower!”

Wei Ziqin smiled at these two sisters’ conversation. Qiao Zhongbang and Qiao Zhongxing’s mouth also uncontrollably trembled.

This treasure. She had not lacked in food and had an endless supply of snacks and pastries these days. She spent her days in a more nouris.h.i.+ng and blissful manner than the past, and her little cheeks were turning plump too. Yet, all she had on her mind was eating and more eating…

Elderly Lady Qiao coughed and tried to speak on her niece’s behalf. “Then you young ones should go out together and have fun. Ziqin, your belly is getting big, so you should stay at home. Ruwan, how about you take the children out? Pay attention to your safety.”

“Yes, Elderly Lady.” Excitement burned in Wen Ruwan’s eyes.

She did not believe it! If she had the opportunity to spend more time with the children, she would definitely trick that d*mn girl, Qiao Mu, to her side! She was merely a bratty child, how smart could she be? At that time, she just had to use some methods, and she would…

Qiao Mu sent Wen Ruwan a meaningful look before picking Xiao Lin’er up and leaving. However, she did not refute Elderly Lady Qiao’s words.

Upon seeing that she was aloof but did not object and humiliate her on the spot, Elderly Lady Qiao sighed in relief and secretly sent Wen Ruwan a look.

Wen Ruwan nodded at the elderly lady. “Don’t worry, Elderly Lady. I’ll definitely use this opportunity to become closer to these children” was written all over her eyes.

How could she have known that Qiao Mu humored her request because the girl wanted to rip her life from her?

Because…

Killing people at home was unsuitable…

A show was going to raise its curtains at the Thousand Blossom Festival.

Suddenly, Qiao Mu stopped walking, her gaze sharply shooting toward the wall.

Then, she stuffed Xiao Lin’er into Qiao Hu’s arms. “Brother Xiao Hu, take Little Sister back. I need to go out.”

Qiao Hu was currently blabbing on about going to the Thousand Blossom Festival in great excitement. He had just accepted Xiao Lin’er. In the next second, his elder younger sister leaped over the wall as fast as lightning, and her figure disappeared into the night sky.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly called, “Sh-shaoyao! Shaoyao, go and tell Dad!”

“Little Young Master, don’t worry. There’s someone following Miss, so she’ll be fine,” Shaoyao swiftly dissuaded the panicking boy. “Shaoyao will escort you two back to your room first.”

On the other hand, after leaping over the wall, Qiao Mu shot forward like an arrow, producing an elongated shadow under the moonlight.
