The mysterious milk group, hands on hips, is being fought over by five dads who are going crazy over

Aning stared blankly at her mother, her clear eyes welling up with tears, which quickly disappeared.

She raised her hand to wipe away the tears welling up in her mother's eyes and asked:

"Is Mother worried that something might happen to Aning, so she wants to send Aning away?"

Qiao Wan forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Will Aning be scared?"

"Ah Ning, don't be afraid."

Aning shook her head and asked, puzzled:

"But Aning doesn't want to leave, doesn't want to leave her mother. Can't her mother go with Aning?"

"Mother..." Qiao Wan paused, then explained gently, "Mother cannot."

Putting aside Huo Ting's order forbidding her from leaving the manor, according to the rules of the Great Liang, once a woman marries, her husband is her master. If she were to take A Ning and run away, it would implicate her family...

Moreover, if she stayed in the manor, she could still find a way to stop Huo Ting. Even if it cost her her life, she would never let Huo Ting go after A Ning!

As long as they can get through tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony, even if Huo Ting is still angry, there's no need for him to bring A Ning back. At that time, A Ning can grow up safely...

Ah Ning's little face scrunched up, not understanding why her mother wouldn't come with her. Her father was clearly a big bad guy, and her mother would only be bullied if she stayed in the mansion alone!

Aning was held in her mother's arms, her little mouth tightly pursed, her face serious, but her mind was working very fast.

No matter what, she won't leave. She will find a way to stay by her mother's side and protect her!

Qiao Wan wasn't feeling well, and she was exhausted from all the things that had happened these past two days. I talked to her for a while and then went to bed to rest.

Looking at her mother's pale face, Ah Ning felt that something was wrong.

She clearly gave her mother talisman water, so her health should have improved.

No, no.

Ah Ning frowned and shook her head.

Yesterday, my mother was indeed feeling better, and her complexion was much better. But today, the dark circles on her forehead have become even more pronounced.

How could this happen?

Ah Ning shook her head, suppressing her worries, and went to the side room after eating breakfast.

On the large bed, the golden egg was tightly wrapped in two quilts, but there was still no sign of it hatching.

Aning moved a small stool and sat down by the bed, looking somewhat worried.

"You idiot, when are you coming out?"

"Grandma's hen hatched chicks, and they emerged in just two days. Why haven't you made any noise at all?"

As she spoke, Ah Ning tilted her head and poked the egg again, "Does that mean a blanket won't work, only a hen will?"

But the idiot seemed to be asleep and ignored her.

Ah Ning waited for a while but still didn't receive a response, so she frowned and sighed.

"Master never taught Ah Ning how to hatch eggs. I wish you could hatch soon."

"Maybe if you come out, Grandmother will be so happy that Aning won't have to go to the altar anymore? That way, Mother won't be unhappy, and there won't be any need to send Aning away. Aning can stay with Mother forever."

She stretched out her delicate, white fingers and poked the egg repeatedly. "How can I hatch you?"

"Young Miss".

Suddenly someone entered the room. A Ning turned her head in a daze and saw an unfamiliar servant bowing and smiling at her.

Ah Ning blinked: "Is something wrong?"

The servant glanced discreetly at the golden egg on the bed, a fawning smile spreading across his face. "Madam has instructed me to summon the Second Miss."

"Mommy misses Ah Ning!" Ah Ning's eyes lit up, and she put the stool back in its place and ran to her mother's room.

But when she arrived, she found her mother fast asleep, with sweat dripping from her forehead.

"Strange, didn't Mother call Aning over?"

Yingxia shook her head, puzzled. "Miss, Madam is still asleep."

"Okay." Aning pouted, pinched her sleeve, and laboriously stood on tiptoe to wipe her mother's sweat little by little.

She then took out another talisman and made a cup of talisman water, handing it to Yingxia. "Sister Yingxia, when Mother wakes up, remember to make sure she drinks this all."

After saying that, she put her small purse in her hand and hurried towards the side room.

But when she entered the side room, the quilt that had contained the golden egg was now empty!

Only the nest where the golden egg once lay remains, still warm!

The eggs are gone? They were taken away?

Aning was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Grandma used to like to take the little rabbit away when she wasn't around and play hide-and-seek with her.

Did that uncle just trick Aning away and take the egg too, trying to play hide-and-seek with her?

Ah Ning straightened her disheveled clothes, made sure the small purse was still hanging on her waist, and then plunged headfirst into the snow.

But after searching everywhere, they couldn't find anyone. Ah Ning pouted, "That's not fair! How can you hide so far away during hide-and-seek?"

She picked up her small purse, rummaged through it, and pulled out a talisman. She folded it into the shape of a paper crane and muttered a spell.

Soon, the origami crane flapped its wings and flew out of the Biyou Courtyard.

Ah Ning was in high spirits and quickly chased after him through the snow.

Hide-and-seek is Ah Ning's best game!

The prime minister's residence was very large, and there were many servants.

Many people saw Aning chasing after a flying origami crane. After their initial surprise, they all ran back to report to their master.

Ah Ning didn't know the way and wandered around for a while, not knowing where she was.

There are no houses in this place, but a lot of bamboo has been planted here, and many of them have been broken by the weight of the heavy snow.

Ah Ning carefully stepped over the broken branches and walked forward, and soon found the person!

The origami crane circled twice above her head and then flew back. Ah Ning smiled and patted its head, and it obediently crawled into her little pouch.

Aning waited for a while and saw that the man was standing suspiciously by the well, holding the egg and not hiding it, which made her very curious.

She simply stepped forward, put her hands on her hips, and frowned, all in one smooth motion:

"Hey, sir, is this your first time playing hide-and-seek?"

The servant froze, slowly turned around and lowered his head. When he saw A-Ning, he took two steps back and almost tripped over a tree branch.

Ah Ning tilted her head back and said in a childish voice, "You should hide the egg now, so Ah Ning can start looking for it."

"You were holding it in your arms the whole time, and Ah Ning saw it immediately. You lost!"

The servant looked rather unpleasant, having no idea what she was talking about. Just as he was about to coax her away, a voice came from behind him.

"What happened?"

Su Xiaoyin, wrapped in a thick fox fur coat, arrived alone. Her gaze swept over A Ning, clearly displeased: "Didn't I tell you to steal the eggs? Why did you bring her along?"

The servant had no way to explain himself: "Aunt Su, I was walking very carefully the whole way and didn't notice her following me..."

"Alright." Su Xiaoyin gave A Ning a cold look. "This girl is very strange."

"But she's still useful; she can't be moved now."

The servant swallowed hard. "Aunt Su, what should we do?"

"What should we do?" Su Xiaoyin sneered, "The old lady values ​​this egg and this girl very much, and has even considered not letting this girl replace Qiaoqiao."

"But Qiaoqiao is also someone I carried for ten months and gave birth to. How could I just stand by and watch her die?"

Su Xiaoyin glanced at A Ning with disdain, took the golden egg from the servant, and threw it into the well without the slightest hesitation!

Ah Ning stared blankly at what was happening, her eyes suddenly reddening!

"You mean auntie! Give me back my idiot!"

Originally, once the silly thing hatched, she could stay by her mother's side!

But now, the egg is gone!

Ah Ning pouted and hurriedly ran to the well to see if the egg was broken.

But Su Xiaoyin suddenly flipped her over and pressed her against the well, her long, sharp nails pressing against the tender flesh of her neck, and forcefully slashed—

Bright red blood seeped out little by little, staining her fingertips.

Su Xiaoyin sneered, "You little country bumpkin, I'm already letting you live a few more days, but you dared to steal the spotlight at Yao Yao's birthday party! Being able to be my Qiao Qiao's scapegoat is a blessing you've accumulated over several lifetimes."

"Now that you've lost the old lady's precious egg, do you think she'll still protect you?"

Ah Ning was pinned down, half of her body dangling over the well opening, unable to move, her round eyes burning with anger.

While reaching for the purse at her waist, she said in a cute but fierce tone, "You're so mean! Give me back my idiot!"

As she finished speaking, a drop of bright red blood dripped down Ah Ning's neck and fell into the well...

The next instant, a beam of golden light suddenly burst forth from the bottom of the well, shooting straight into the sky!
