[Really?! Jingjing can have her own savings! The birthday gift Grandpa gave Jingjing is still at Tianming Lake, Jingjing doesn't have any money right now...]

Lu Wenshu reached out and gently scratched Jingjing's little nose: "Jingjing, why do you look so incredulous? Of course, the gifts given to you should be distributed separately. You can't read yet. When you start learning to read, your mother will teach you how to keep accounts and manage your own little storeroom."

"Thank you, Mother!"

Xiao Jingjing excitedly leaned closer to Lu Wenshu and kissed her cheek.

【Jingjing loves her mother~ Mother, love her so much~ (*^▽^*)

Fang Yuhua was somewhat envious of her daughter-in-law; she also longed to be close and affectionate with her granddaughter.

"Alright, this matter is settled. Those of you who are supposed to go to the training grounds, go to the training grounds; those of you who are supposed to go to the academy, go to the academy. Yu'er, the Imperial Study has granted you leave today. You can take Jingjing and wander around the various parts of the Prince's Mansion."

"Wen Shu, come with me to prepare for the family reunion banquet. Yan'er, you go do your own thing too, Qing Shi is waiting for you at the door."

"Yes, Mother/Grandmother."

Before leaving, Fang Yuhua looked at the old nanny Guan beside her:

"Granny Guan, first take the embroiderers to take Jingjing's measurements and make a few fashionable summer outfits for the young lady. If needed, just get them from the shop. Oh, and make a new outfit for each of the young masters, to wear in June. Make it exquisite. Give the embroidery workshop an extra month's wages and tell them to finish as soon as possible."

After following Xiao Yu out, Jingjing looked at him and asked, "Big brother, where are we going now?"

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Little sister, how about I take you from Grandmother's courtyard to Tingxue Pavilion, and then from Tingxue Pavilion to the courtyard I prepared for you, so you can get familiar with the way?"

Jingjing nodded: "Okay!"

I was just thinking of going to check on that peach tree, but suddenly the dark, smelly thing is gone!

A smile appeared in Xiao Yu's eyes; this was exactly what he had in mind.

"Jingjing, we've arrived."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jingjing let go of Xiao Yu's hand and went forward to circle around the tree.

[It's definitely gone. However, the tree itself was affected; there's still some toxin left.]

[Shushu, wait a minute! Jingjing will use her magic to drive some away for you.]

Xiao Yu then saw Jingjing raise her hand and gently cover the tree trunk.

Unseen by him, a faint red magical power emanated from Jingjing's hands, flowing into the tree trunk and gradually expelling the toxins within.

A few breaths later, the tree suddenly began to gently sway its branches, making a "rustling" sound.

As Xiao Yu moved down from the treetop, his gaze fell on the ground two steps behind Jingjing.

There was a patch of grass lying here and there, but if you looked around that patch, you could find a few complete footprints.

He walked over and carefully examined the area.

There were some very small clods of soil scattered in the surrounding grass.

He walked to that small patch of land again and circled it.

This place is wrong. Every year, a lot of effort is put in to ensure that the peach trees grow well and that the soil is relatively loose, but this place is obviously harder, as if it has been tamped down with feet.

When Jingjing turned her head, she saw Xiao Yu staring at the ground beneath his feet, motionless.

"Hey bro? What's wrong?"

What happened there? Let me see~

Jingjing walked over quickly, afraid of missing even a little bit.

Jingjing secretly used her magic to look down.

[Huh? Something blocked my magic yesterday, but it's gone today?! What happened?]

Xiao Yu was somewhat surprised. Was the thing his father and the others were able to dig away the same thing that blocked Jingjing's magic yesterday?

It turns out that things that people can see can also block magical power.

Xiao Yu beckoned to Qingya, who was accompanying his father, and whispered in his ear, "Qingya, were you and Qingshi with Father last night?"

"Don't deny it. Qingyan is the head guard. He is only responsible for transferring the guards. Qingzheng has not returned to the palace yet. Others are not so trustworthy. Only you and Qingshi, who are protecting Father's safety, are the ones who made the move."

Qingya nodded helplessly: "Your Highness, you should tell the Prince about this."

Young Master Xiao Yu straightened up, his hands behind his back: "He acted carelessly and deserves punishment."

"Yes. Qingya will accept the punishment from Your Highness. Please tell me, Your Highness, what have you discovered?"

Before Jingjing could recover from her surprise, Xiao Yu told her about his discovery.

Qingya was ashamed, never expecting it was because of a few clumps of grass that were leaning in different directions.

After several tentative attempts, Jingjing's delicate eyebrows furrowed.

How could this be? What could possibly have such a strong poisonous aura?

Furthermore, I could smell bedbugs.

Pouting, Jingjing looked at Xiao Yu: "Big brother, can you take me to the courtyards of my father, mother, and older brothers to help me find my way?"

[After smelling only one bug all day, Jingjing is so sad, waaaaaah ┭┮﹏┭┮]

Xiao Yu was somewhat taken aback by this reason, but still nodded: "Then let's go to my eldest brother's Wenzhu Courtyard first. Mother is still with Grandmother."

"What about the older brother?"

I think I just heard Grandma say that my older brother is going to school?

Xiao Yu led her in another direction of Moon Lake.

"My elder brother is preparing for the provincial examination. He said he was going to the academy, but he just showed his essays to the teacher. Father has asked someone to give him pointers at the Wutong Studio in the front courtyard. He's still there at this time today."

My older brother takes his medicine every day after breakfast, but he missed it today and is probably still taking it now.

"Okay, let's go quickly!"

I don't think I understood... Never mind, as long as my older brother is still here.

Human affairs are so complicated, Jingjing doesn't know anything about them, sigh (⊙︿⊙)

Xiao Yu looked at her with slight worry upon hearing this. The young lady of the Jingwang Mansion has many, many things to know in the future. He will teach her slowly in the future.

"Hey sir, this flower smells so good!"

Jingjing stared intently at the wall covered in purple flowers; she had never seen such a vast expanse of blossoms before.

"This is called wisteria, and it's what Mother Consort liked. This courtyard is where Mother Consort and Father Consort lived."

"Are we almost at Big Brother's courtyard? Didn't Little Brother just say that Big Brother lives next to Mother and the others?"

Meeting Jingjing's clear eyes, Xiao Yu became talkative again: "Yes, it's very close by."

Not long after they started walking, Jingjing began to frown.

[This smells like medicine? So many medicines!]

Xiao Yu felt a little down after hearing her heartfelt words.

He had heard what Doctor Bai said: his older brother was born with a weak mother and had a difficult birth; he had been taking medicine with him since he was a child.
