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

Qiao Wan immediately pulled A Ning aside.

The group of people then bowed down to the old woman.

Surprisingly, these villains who almost kidnapped her actually apologized politely.

The old woman turned to look at Ah Ning, feeling both relieved and touched. She nodded and said, "Alright, I accept your apologies. After all, I haven't suffered any real harm."

Upon hearing this, all five of them looked up at the same time!

Scarred man: "Thank you for your forgiveness!"

"As we just mentioned, if you have any other needs, we can help you within our capabilities!"

"This..." The old woman hesitated.

Qiao Wan said, "Grandma, there's free labor right here, might as well use it. With Aning around, they wouldn't dare do anything."

"Moreover, the day they tried to kidnap you really frightened you, and you had to endure the cold on the mountain for two days for nothing."

The old woman nodded thoughtfully and said, "Now that the snow has melted, since you sincerely apologize, why don't you help me plow the land?"

Plow?

The man in the headscarf immediately replied, "Leave it to us!"

"We brothers may not have much else, but we're got boundless energy! We can't even use it all up!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than several men picked up hoes and winnowing baskets from beside the door. "Where's the land?"

The little rabbit rolled its eyes, quickly jumped out, and raised its chin.

Ah Ning immediately understood and said in her childish voice:

"The little rabbit knows where it is; just follow it!"

Once the little rabbit left, the bear left too, and soon only the three of them were left in the house.

Qiao Wan served three bowls of sweet potato porridge. "Have some porridge first to warm yourself up."

Ah Ning took a big gulp, raised her hand to rub her stomach, and said with a smile:

"Grandma's porridge is so sweet and delicious!"

The three sat down and chatted for a while, until dusk approached, before Qiao Wan stood up and said:

"Grandma, it's getting late, Aning and I should go back now. We'll come to see you another day."

The old woman smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Alright, alright, it's time to go, otherwise it will be very late when we get back to the capital."

Aning stood up and hugged the old woman.

Grandma, I'll miss you.

I will come to see you often.

"Okay, okay." The old woman hugged her back and ruffled her hair. "Grandma won't go anywhere. I'll just wait for you here."

Aning nodded emphatically.

Suddenly remembering something, she closed her eyes and formed a hand seal. After a while, a complex rune lit up on the old woman's chest and slowly imprinted itself onto her chest.

The old woman asked with some confusion, "Ah Ning, what's this?"

Ah Ning withdrew her hand and smiled sweetly, "Grandma, this is a protective spell. With this, no one will be able to hurt you anymore!"

"Furthermore, if anyone harms you or breaks the seal, Ah Ning will know immediately, even if it's as far away as the Prime Minister's residence. She'll rush over to help Grandma chase away the bad guys!"

The old woman's eyes welled up with tears, but she didn't shed any in front of the child. She smiled and said, "Our Aning is such a good girl. Alright, it's getting dark, hurry back with your mother."

Qiao Wan took A Ning's hand and pointed to the pile of gifts in the corner, saying, "Grandma, these are ginseng, cordyceps, thick mattresses, and fur coats that I carefully selected."

"Don't worry about the cost, use it with confidence. I'll bring you more next time I come."

The old woman nodded with a smile, holding back tears that were about to spill over, "Okay, I don't care, go on your way, go on your way."

Ah Ning reluctantly parted ways with her grandmother and followed her mother into the carriage.

The carriage had been traveling for a short while when Aning fell asleep.

When she woke up again, Yingxia was carrying her towards Biyouyuan.

It was completely dark. Ah Ning rubbed her eyes sleepily and said in a soft, sweet voice:

"Sister Yingxia? Where's Mother?"

Seeing that she was awake, Yingxia smiled and said, "As soon as the carriage stopped, Madam was summoned to the Old Madam's courtyard and ordered me to carry you back, Miss."

"Madam is so considerate of Miss. She's afraid that if I move too roughly, I'll wake you up. She's told me this several times."

Hearing this, A-Ning felt a warmth in her heart and said, "Sister Yingxia, quickly put A-Ning down."

Once her feet were on the ground, she excitedly asked, "Sister Yingxia, would you like to play a fun game with Aning?"

Yingxia bent down slightly and asked curiously, "What fun games are you playing?"

Ah Ning chuckled twice, grabbed Yingxia's hand, and headed in the opposite direction from Biyou Courtyard.

By the time Yingxia realized what she was about to do, it was too late; she was already standing at Aunt Su's door...

Yingxia looked down and saw that the invisibility talisman on her chest was still firmly attached. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Miss, what exactly do we need to do?"

Ah Ning winked playfully, and the next moment she reached out to knock on the door.

Knock knock knock knock.

There were four knocks, neither too loud nor too soft.

Who is it?

A sleepy voice came from inside the house, "Go out and take a look."

Then came the sound of footsteps, and the door was pulled open—

The maid looked left and right, but there was no one in sight at the door, and the courtyard was empty except for the rustling of leaves in the wind...

The maidservant suddenly shivered and quickly closed the door.

"Master, there's no one outside. You must have misheard."

No sooner had he finished speaking than there was another knocking sound coming from the door behind him!

This time, however, the banging was even more frantic than before!

The maid cried out in surprise and was instantly thrown three zhang away!

She leaned against the table, her fingers trembling as she pointed to the door, "M-Master..."

"Did you hear that? There's another knock at the door, but there's no one there..."

"Tsk." Su Xiaoyin clicked her tongue impatiently, got up and put on her clothes, and couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks about her.

"What courage do you have? You're scared out of your wits already?"

"If something really happens, will I have to protect you?"

Su Xiaoyin rolled her eyes. She had just put on her clothes and was walking towards the door when she heard several loud banging sounds coming from the window next to her!

She quickly turned her head, and the sound disappeared instantly. There was nothing by the window!

Now, Su Xiaoyin felt a little panicked. She reached out her hand and said, "Quick, come here and stand in front of me."

The maid was trembling with fear, but dared not disobey, and stood shakily in front of her.

Su Xiaoyin stared warily at the window and said:

"Who is it? Who's outside?"

Almost as soon as the words were spoken, the window was struck as if by something, making a loud "bang bang bang" sound, and you could even see the window shaking from the impact!

Su Xiaoyin panicked completely and cried out, "Who is it?!"

Almost at the same time, a loud banging sound came from the other window!

The windows on both sides were being banged on at the same time, then the door was being banged on, and then the windows were being banged on again!

It's as if something outside is in a hurry to come in!

Su Xiaoyin grew increasingly frightened, gripping the maid's hand tightly and pulling her in front of her as she shielded her, her voice trembling:

"W-What exactly happened?!"

"What on earth is playing tricks on me?!"

After a scream, all the noise subsided.

Su Xiaoyin was panting heavily, keeping a watchful eye on any movement outside.

The next instant, a sharp voice rang out—

"Su, Xiao, Yin—"

"Give me your life!"
