"Who is this little thief, daring to sneak into my Jin Wangfu and steal my roasted sweet potatoes?"

Fu Jiujiu glared at him, "Could it be that this wasn't prepared for me?"

Tang Xian's laughter was hearty, "This is for my future princess consort."

"Ahem...unfortunately, I am." Fu Jiujiu replied to him.

Now I'm much thicker-skinned.

Tang Xian hung his cloak and didn't immediately approach. Instead, he stood by the brazier, warming himself up a bit. He was afraid that his own coldness would chill her.

Fùjiūjiū knew the man's thoughtfulness, and her heart was sweeter than this sweet potato.

"Tang Qi gege, I have something for you." Fu Jiujiu wiped her hands clean and took out a neatly stacked sheet of paper from her bosom.

Tang Xian opened it, "This is…"

"This is a map of the dungeon where Tang Xiu imprisons He Tianlin."

Tang Xiu was surprised. She had actually gotten this, but she did have a lot of strange things happen to her. He wasn't surprised, he just needed to accept it.

Don't make him guess, Fu Jiujiu has already given the answer, "This took me hundreds of jin of grain to get."

The mice drew a map for her, and she gave them food in return; it was only fair.

"I'll give you a few thousand pounds."

"Fu Jiujiu snorted coldly, "As if you calculated it so clearly?"

Wasn't his the same as hers from then on?

Although there was a map, it was still difficult to get someone out without alerting Tang Xiu.

Fujujiao shook her head, "It's simple, the same method."

Tang Xiu took a deep breath and immediately showed a look of joy, "Can they?"

"Sure, money can make the ghost grind. With grain, rats can burrow holes too." Fu JiuJiu winked at him, "Although it's a huge project, I can already imagine Tang Xiu going ballistic when we pull this off without anyone noticing."

Tang Xian was so grateful that such a smart and unique little girl wasn't on his opposite side.

Otherwise, where would he be her match?

"Cheep cheep, luckily you're not on his side."

Fu Jiujiu's expression turned cold. "Why would I stand on his side? Do I think the food outside is not delicious?"

Tang Xian understood her meaning, after all, He Tianlin was a good example.

"Fei Ni just flies away, a good bow is hidden. I wouldn't want to be the second He Tianlin. If he doesn't reveal himself, he can just be a wealthy idler, and at this moment, he would already be a winner in life." Fu Jiujiu sighed wistfully.

So the two people were initially on different paths, with no common ground. She was most grateful that she hadn't been swayed by He Tianlin and told him her true identity.

Otherwise, Tang Xiu wouldn't have allowed himself to be outside.

"Then what shall we do?" Tang Xian said.

Fu Jiujiu waved her hands, "There's nothing to do. I've already prepared their winter rations, we just have to wait for the tunnel to be dug and then get people out."

If people want to find a way to dig holes, Tang Xiu would definitely be able to stop them. But a group of rats, how could Tang Xiu have ever thought of that?

……

The wedding date for Zou Yuansong and Hang Xueyin has been set, on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month. The Zou family was immediately busy making preparations.

Fu Jiujiu also occasionally went to lend a hand, saying it was help, but she didn't really need to do anything. She just accompanied Jiang Shuangyue in conversation.

Ginger Shuangyue felt relieved knowing that her son had finally let go of his obsession. Some things are just not meant to be yours, and the consequences of fighting for them relentlessly can be immeasurable.

Anyway, her son is smart.

Although Zou Yuansong felt a little awkward every time he saw Fu Jiujiao, he tried to tell himself that his many feelings would cause her trouble.

After all, he can't see his little sister being unhappy.

Therefore, he repeatedly restrained himself.

Jiang Fangru knew that her cousin was getting married and had returned with her child, but the man was still in Los Angeles. That meant he would have to rush back to Los Angeles even during the New Year.

Even Madam Jin could only stomp her foot in anger and scold her son for forgetting his mother after marrying a wife. But as soon as she turned around and saw the man surrounded by two little seductresses, she couldn't help but forget all about it and joined in the fun.

"Since it's so nice that all of you are here today, why don't we just have dinner here tonight?"

Jiang Fangrui looked at Fu Jiujiao. She hadn't planned on going back to her parents' home originally.

If you've already turned your back on someone, why go out of your way to visit them?

Fu Jiujiao spread her hands, "I have to go to the palace this afternoon to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. Who would have thought that my elder cousin would come back without even giving a heads-up."

"Ginger Fangru sniffed coldly, "Aunt, look at her, she's becoming even more unreasonable. I think she's been spoiled by King Jin, being held in the palm of his hand and pampered to the point of being domineering."

"Jiang Shuangyue smiled, "The Empress Dowager's affairs are important, Jiujiu, you go busy. Your cousin won't be leaving for a while."

Fujujiao would visit the palace once every seven days to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and check on her eyes' recovery progress, adjusting the medication dosage accordingly.

This time, it just so happened that I ran into Saiqi Ya.

Saiqiya came to the palace, and Fu Jiujiu wasn't surprised at all. It was just that in a few days, she seemed to have lost weight.

Saiqiya also saw Fu Jiujiu, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke first, "Princess Jin..."

Fu Jiu Jiu was stunned. She could have a falling out with Tang Xian privately, but outside, the two of them weren't married yet, and she couldn't afford to be called that.

She bowed slightly, "Princess Saiqiya, I am not yet the wife of Marquis Jin. It would be inappropriate for you to address me thus."

Saiqiya stuck out her tongue. "I'm sorry, I... I just said it casually, Princess Jiangling?"

You can also call me Chi-chi, that's what everyone calls me.

Saiqi nodded, "This is..."

"I'm here to pay respects to Imperial Grandmother. It's so cold out today, how are you alone here?" Fu Jiujiu felt a chill herself; her clothes weren't very warm, and there weren't many flowers in the garden either.

My brother went to see the emperor, so I'm just hanging around here.

Fu Jiujiu smiled, just about to leave, when Saiqiya said, "Can I go with you to see the Empress Dowager?"

Fu Jiujiu was stunned, "This..."

"Is it inconvenient? Don't worry about it, forget it. Actually, I just wanted to say a few words to you."

Fujujio found it interesting, they didn't know each other. "What does the princess want to say?"

"I... I think you're very beautiful."

"Thank you." Fu Jiujiu's response was actually very superficial.

Saiqiya blinked her big eyes, she was beautiful, with a touch of exotic charm, "I..."

"Saiqiya, who are you talking to?"

Andu walked out and saw Saiqiya talking to a woman. Even from afar, he couldn't tell if it was Fu Jiujiu. As he got closer, he realized that the woman wrapped so tightly was his beloved woman.

"A bird? What a coincidence?" Andu's eyes, full of lewdness, lingered on Fu Jiujiu's face, which was faintly flushed.

Fu Jiu Jiu has smoke and rain, and Nian Xia by her side. Even if she doesn't, she's not afraid of An Du alone.

After all, this guy is just an incompetent idiot.

"That's quite a coincidence, did Prince An come to ask the Emperor to find someone to see you?" Fu JiuJiu said, then exclaimed, "Oh, is that something we can say?"

Cold, two more updates, see you tomorrow!
