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

A-Ning nodded: "Aunt Yun Shu, don't worry. As long as we find the altar set up by the person who is borrowing my life before nightfall and destroy it, the bad guys won't be able to borrow my big brother's life tonight."

A glimmer of hope flickered in Yun Shu's lifeless eyes, yet she hesitated: "The one who harmed An'er must be Qian Shi! But our family only has a small courtyard in a corner of the Prince's mansion, we see each other all the time, yet we've never seen Qian Shi set up any kind of altar..."

Hearing this, Ah Ning wasn't worried at all. Her small face turned serious, and she patted her chest like a little adult, assuring him, "Don't worry, don't worry, Ah Ning has a way to find it, Auntie, don't worry!"

As she spoke, she counted on her fingers, one item at a time: "A bronze mirror, a pair of bronze scissors, cinnabar and a calligraphy brush, and my older brother's birth date and time. Auntie, can you prepare these for Aning quickly?"

Although Yun Shu didn't understand what she was going to do, she didn't dare to delay for even a moment because it concerned her son, so she hurriedly went out to prepare.

Qiao Wan, however, was extremely curious. "How is Aning going to find that altar?"

Hearing this, Xiao Aning's lips curled up slightly, and she said with a hint of pride, "Mommy will find out soon!"

Yun Shu seemed to have no personal maid, doing everything herself, and soon returned with what A Ning wanted.

After locking the door again, Yun Shu put everything on the table and, following A Ning's instructions, personally wrote An'er's birth date and time on the yellow talisman paper.

She put down her pen, her voice trembling, "Ah Ning, then... what should we do?"

Sensing her fear and nervousness, Xiao Aning kindly gave her a big hug, saying, "Auntie, don't be afraid, just leave it to Aning!"

"No matter what happens later, Auntie must stay by your older brother's side and not leave him."

As she spoke, she picked up her brush and drew three talismans with cinnabar for her mother.

"Mommy, hold this talisman. If any bad people try to get close to big brother, throw the talisman at them!"

Qiao Wan carefully put the talisman away, saying, "Mother will remember it."

Having arranged everything, Ah Ning's soft smile disappeared, her face straightened, her light eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she deftly pricked the pad of her middle finger with scissors, drawing the talisman again.

This time, however, it was painted with blood.

When the scissors cut her fingertip, Qiao Wan frowned in pain and instinctively wanted to step forward to stop them, but then she remembered something and stopped in her tracks.

Her husband, Aning, was rushing to save lives, and she couldn't go and cause trouble at such a time.

Thinking of this, a hint of pride rose in Qiao Wan's eyes as she looked at A Ning with tenderness, praying in her heart that she would succeed.

Aning was completely oblivious to her mother's gaze, concentrating intently on drawing the talisman.

After drawing the talisman, she took the scissors and went to the bedside. She neatly cut off a strand of silver hair from the end of her older brother's hair and wrapped it in a piece of yellow paper with his birth date and time written on it.

He walked back to the table, folded the yellow paper containing the hair into the talisman he had just drawn, folded it into a triangle, then held it upright in front of his chest with his index and middle fingers, closed his eyes and whispered a spell.

In just a few moments, Ah Ning suddenly opened her eyes and threw the self-igniting talisman in her hand onto the palm-sized bronze mirror.

The talisman quickly burned out, turning into a handful of ash that fell onto the mirror.

With a gentle blow, Ah Ning blew away the talisman ash, and the next moment, a dim image appeared on the mirror.

The scene was extremely dark, with a table in the center, on which was placed incense, a set of clothes, a pair of shoes, and a small wooden figure tied with a red string.

Ah Ning's grape-like eyes suddenly lit up, and she raised the bronze mirror, saying crisply, "Found it!"

Yun Shuxin tensed up and immediately stepped forward, staring intently at the image reflected in the bronze mirror.

Although the image in the mirror was completely black, the surrounding environment could be vaguely seen.

Yun Shu recognized it almost instantly: "This is...this is Qian's bedroom! She actually put this terrifying thing...in her own bedroom!"

After saying that, her gaze was drawn to the things on the table again, and she covered her mouth in horror, saying, "These clothes and shoes, they're all An'er's lost items! How did they end up here...?"

Ah Ning blinked and explained earnestly, "This kind of magic is extremely sinister. To cast it without any mishaps and avoid backfiring, you naturally need something that carries the aura of the person whose life has been borrowed."

Hearing this, Yun Shu felt even more heartbroken. Seeing An'er's breathing growing weaker and weaker, she hurriedly said, "Now that we've found the place, let's go and destroy her altar!"

"No way!" Ah Ning tilted her head back, refusing her suggestion. "Didn't Ah Ning just say that Auntie and Mother would stay by Big Brother's side, and Ah Ning can handle the matter of destroying the altar!"

"But you're just a child, how are you going to..." Yun Shu hesitated.

"Yun Shu." Qiao Wan took her hand and pulled her back two steps, saying gently, "You said before that Aning was different from ordinary children, and praised Aning for being amazing. Why are you questioning her now?"

Yun Shu frowned: "I'm not questioning, I'm just worried. After all, that's Qian's bedroom. Destroying that thing in her bedroom isn't an easy task! I'm afraid Aning will get hurt!"

But when she turned around, she found that Xiao Aning had already run out.

Yun Shu panicked: "Wanwan! That's your own daughter! How can you let her go to such a dangerous place? Come on! We need to catch up! Even if she's incredibly capable, she's still just a child. How can you let a child go ahead of me to do something dangerous?!"

Unexpectedly, Qiao Wan stopped her and said earnestly:

"It is precisely because Aning is my biological daughter that I trust all the decisions she makes."

Yun Shu paused, stunned, and listened intently as she continued:

"Have you forgotten what A-Ning just said? She told us to stay by An'er's side at all times, and she even gave me some talismans, saying to throw them away if anyone comes."

"What does this mean? Maybe Ah Ning foresaw that someone would do something bad to An'er after the altar was destroyed, so she arranged for us to guard this place."

She gently patted Yun Shu's back, her voice tender, but her eyes were resolute: "Yun Shu, what you need to do now is to stay by An'er's side and protect him, and wait for Aning to come back."

Yun Shu squeezed her eyes shut, a tear rolling down her cheek, and said heavily, "Fine. I'm sorry to have troubled you and Aning, Wanwan..."

Meanwhile, Aning left Yunshu's room and swaggered out.

But as they walked, they lost their way.

Where is the Qian family's house...?

Ah Ning tilted her head and looked around, but found that all the houses in the vicinity looked the same, and she couldn't tell which one was the wife's bedroom.

Just then, several maids came over carrying trays, and A-Ning quickly put on a big smile and waved to them.

"Beautiful sister, may I ask..." A Ning, unsure how to politely address Madam Qian, remembered that everyone in the Prime Minister's residence addressed her mother as "Madam," and continued, "Are these things being sent to Madam Qian?"
