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

Aning, who was invisible, walked closely beside Qiaoqiao and naturally heard the questions from the adults below.

She stopped and turned to look at the stage.

But seeing that the older brother showed no sign of panic and spoke confidently, I felt relieved.

What Aning needs to do is solve the problems that her older brother can't solve, and let Qiaoqiao go home safely.

As for other things, they have nothing to do with her!

Aning skipped and hopped along behind Qiaoqiao, extremely happy.

But when she got to Huo Ting, she saw that he had a stern face and didn't even look at Qiaoqiao. He was staring intently at the older brother who was speaking on the high platform.

On the contrary, Su Xiaoyin, with tears still on her face, hugged Qiaoqiao tightly!

Ah Ning couldn't help but tilt her head.

Strange, isn't he Qiaoqiao's father?

Why did he not react at all when Qiaoqiao returned safely?

Aning couldn't understand, so she shook her head and went back to her mother's side.

Looking at her mother's worried face, she pursed her lips, reached into her little purse, and patted the silly boy's head, once, twice, three times, until she pulled out a single golden hair!

Inside his pocket, the idiot's eyes widened as if struck by lightning!

But because of his promise to Aning, he couldn't make a sound, and could only huddle in his pocket, desperately searching for the exact spot where his fur had fallen out...

Aning was completely unaware of all this. A sly glint flashed in her eyes as she stepped forward and took her mother's hand.

Qiao Wan was startled by the commotion for a moment, but when she looked down, she saw nothing.

But I could definitely feel it in my hand, as if I were being held by a tiny hand.

How could that be?

Could it be...A-Ning?

Qiao Wan looked around discreetly, but did not see any sign of A Ning.

The next instant, a tickling sensation came from my palm.

When she looked down again, she saw a golden hair lying in her palm!

It's on that idiot!

So just now... it really was Ah Ning!

Qiao Wan subconsciously looked towards the high platform, recalling how the Imperial Advisor had remained silent for a long time with his back to everyone before Qiao Qiao stepped down from the platform, and then the Imperial Advisor announced that this sacrifice would not require a human sacrifice...

So when Aning said she was going to stay home and keep the idiot company, she was actually using some method to hide herself and follow him over to help Qiaoqiao.

So, that golden light that dispelled the dark clouds just now was also...

Thinking of this, a hint of doting appeared in Qiao Wan's eyes, and the corners of her lips curved slightly, with a touch of barely perceptible pride.

Her Ah Ning is really amazing.

Aning tilted her little head and grinned happily when she saw her mother finally smile.

Fearing that the invisibility talisman would fail and expose her, A-Ning returned to her residence alone after a short while.

"Miss, where have you been?"

Outside Biyou Courtyard, two maids, their faces flushed with anxiety, said, "We've been looking for you for so long, searching the entire Prime Minister's residence, but we couldn't find you. We were so frightened!"

Ah Ning hadn't expected to be gone for so long. Her fingers, hanging by her sides, unconsciously clenched together. She tilted her head shyly. "I'm sorry, Mother prepared some pastries for Ah Ning. Sisters, please eat with Ah Ning!"

Upon hearing this, the maid's anxious emotions calmed down, but she did not ask for any of the young mistress's pastries. Instead, she escorted the young mistress back to her room and then obediently stood guard at the door.

Aning took off her small purse, lay down in the soft quilt, and could barely keep her eyes open.

Even though I didn't seem to do anything today, and casting a simple prayer for clear skies didn't take much effort, I still feel exhausted all over.

Is it because the Imperial Advisor's speech is too hypnotic?

Ah Ning was half asleep when she saw the silly thing pop out of the little pouch, stomping its thin little legs angrily.

"Damn it! Absolutely awful!"

"Ah Ning, you're so mean! How could you pluck the phoenix's feathers! It's not pretty anymore!"

Ah Ning tried hard to see if it was bald, but her eyelids felt unusually heavy. She mumbled a question in her sleep:

"Is this idiot, like Aning, a girl?"

Before she could hear a reply, she fell into a deep sleep, leaving only a golden chick hopping around her pillow.

The sacrificial ceremony has ended.

Zhou Shengze's speech convinced everyone below. After completing the final procedures, he was about to enter the palace to report to the emperor when Huo Ting stopped him.

Zhou Shengze smiled and said, "Your Excellency, what are your instructions?"

Huo Ting's expression was cold and stern as he asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened up there? Why was the planned human sacrifice canceled at the last minute? Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengze's expression stiffened, and he asked in confusion, "Your Excellency, I have already explained it very clearly. Besides, shouldn't you be happy that your daughter is safe and sound?"

Seeing that he avoided answering, Huo Ting changed the subject: "That golden light that dispelled the dark clouds just now, I'm afraid it wasn't the work of the Imperial Advisor, was it?"

"This..." Zhou Shengze, who always told the truth, was momentarily at a loss for words.

Huo Ting understood: "Could this extraordinary natural phenomenon be related to the Prime Minister's daughter?"

Seeing that he kept asking questions, each one more in-depth than the last, Zhou Shengze frowned slightly and bowed respectfully.

"Your Excellency, I must return to the palace to see the Emperor, so I will not linger any longer. Let us meet again another day."

After saying that, he left with great speed.

Huo Ting watched him leave, then turned to look at Qiaoqiao.

In recent years, he has devoted himself to teaching Huo Zhiyao and placed high hopes on her, but he has neglected Qiaoqiao.

Unexpectedly, her appearance at the sacrificial ceremony resolved the severe weather that had plagued the people of Daliang for four years...

Huo Ting pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and took Qiaoqiao's hand for the first time. "From now on, come to the study every day at 1-3 PM, and your father will personally teach you to read and write."

Upon hearing this, Qiaoqiao's eyes flashed with joy and surprise!

In the past, this was a privilege that only Sister Yaoyao received!

Can she do it too?!

Su Xiaoyin leaned weakly into Huo Ting's arms, "My lord, I knew that you would cherish both Yao Yao and Qiao Qiao like treasures."

A few steps away, Qiao Wan saw the heartwarming scene of the family of three. When she met Su Xiaoyin's provocative gaze, she was no longer as sad as before. There wasn't even the slightest fluctuation in her heart. She turned around and calmly got into the carriage.

Before, she might have hoped that Huo Ting would give Aning fatherly love, but now, she has completely given up hope.

Ah Ning has endured countless hardships to acquire these skills at such a young age. As her mother, she naturally has to pull herself together and not let her daughter down!

On the way back, they passed a pastry shop in the south of the city. Qiao Wan ordered the driver to stop so she could buy some herself.

Huo Ting forbade her to leave the manor, but today was an exception because of the sacrificial ceremony. She didn't know when she would be able to come out again, so she bought some of every kind of pastry.

"Madam, this is ten taels of silver in total. Please take it."

Qiao Wan nodded, and was about to take the silver when she suddenly felt dizzy and her vision blurred. She then collapsed to the ground...
