The man walked away with the fake ledger. Fu Jiujiu stayed in Tang Qiyue's room and looked around. She guessed that the real ledger should still be in the room.

But she didn't move.

But she didn't know if these people would come back, so was her home still safe?

Fujujijiu thinks Tang Qi is impossible to be such a person who doesn't consider the consequences when doing things.

Could it be... Perhaps...?

Fujujui, in order to confirm her own thoughts, suddenly stood in the yard and shouted into the air: "Oh, I hurt so much, woo... I'm bleeding?"

Suddenly, two people appeared before him.

"Cuckoo girl, let me see, aren't you poisoned?"

Chen Long, quickly send Miss Jiujiu to the attic.

Fujujiao blinked her big eyes at the two people, sure enough there was someone beside her, then why didn't they appear just now?

Or are they certain that person won't kill themself?

You know, she just about had a heart attack.

Who are you?

"Chirpy girl, don't be afraid, we are good people. I am Lin Zhen, he is Chen Long. You've seen my brother Lin Wei before, take a good look, we look very alike."

Fu Jiujiu examined Lin Zhen carefully, his brow and eyes truly resembled Lin Wei's. Moreover, they lacked that familiar scent on them.

They are not on the same side as that fake wind sickness from before.

If they were in a group, the poisoned hand would definitely meet them. She not only put poison in the account book but also used a very faint scent.

She could tell the difference.

Even so, she couldn't believe them right away.

"Second Brother Lin, don't say so much. Miss Chirp is in pain. Could it be that someone poisoned her? Let's quickly take her back to the pavilion."

"Okay," Lin Zhen said, and was about to pick up the little milk dumpling and leave.

Fu Jiujiu didn't want to go with them at all, so she quickly wiped the blood from her mouth. "I just accidentally bit my tongue, it hurts so much, I can't eat delicious food anymore."

The two looked at each other, immediately realizing they had been tricked.

After all, they've spent quite some time with the little milk dumpling. Once their master left, they stayed by her side, and their master also warned them that this little girl is full of tricks.

"Cough cough... Miss Jiūjiū, are you really alright?" Chen Long asked.

Fujuju stuck out her tongue and pointed at the tip of her tongue, "Ouch, it hurts so much."

It's just a broken tongue, it's nothing serious.

Since he's already here, Lin Zhen can only tell the young lady about the master's plan. Otherwise, the little girl might misunderstand him as failing his duty.

Although he wasn't sure if the little girl could understand such complex matters.

Before he could finish his sentence, Fu Jiujiu understood.

Tang Qi knew someone would come to steal the ledger, but she didn't expect it to happen at this time and that she would be here just in time to see it.

"Hey, little sister, the two of us were just about to make a move!"

Fujujiao tilted her head, "Then why don't you intervene? He pinched me."

"But I remember you never lost against Fengbei, so... just wait a little longer. Anyway, rest assured, with the two of us brothers here, nothing will happen to you. No one will be able to harm you."

Fu Jiujiu's internal strength wasn't deep, and they maintained a perfect distance. Fu Jiujiu truly didn't know that someone was protecting them all along.

One can only say that Tang Qi really thought everything through.

"When Fengbei was here, did you come?"

"Well, Master ordered us to stay when he left. We were always by his side, protecting him."

Fujujiao is a little touched.

"The master had already prepared a false account book and hid it in the secret compartment. It's a pity that man was too foolish to find it. We were racking our brains on how to get him to take it."

"So you've arrived," Chen Long continued. "He managed to get a fake one by pure chance, how silly."

Lin Zhen also thought the plan was going to fall through. The Fifth Prince's people thought they were the sparrowhawk, but they didn't know there was an eagle behind the sparrowhawk.

"You're still saying others are dumb, aren't you just being baited by Miss Jiujing?" Lin Zhen said.

Chen Long was also anxious, after all, that person was under the Fifth Prince's command, and the little girl was in the room, separated by a wall. If something really happened, he was afraid of being one step late.

Heavens knows, he was so nervous just now to have left the little girl alone with that man.

His heart was in his throat.

Fu Jiujiu looked at the two people. They weren't as pale and thin as they could be, but it was obvious that they hadn't eaten well in a long time.

Probably doesn't trust himself.

Since you're all out in the open anyway, there's no need to hide it. My family is having braised pork for dinner tonight.

"Braised pork, Brother Lin Er, braised pork." Chen Long was about to drool.

When they were executing the mission, they would buy a bunch of steamed buns. Since the weather was cool, they wouldn't go bad easily. When they got hungry, they would just bite into two. The first meal was fine, but after that, they became hard and tough, making them difficult to eat.

Lin Zhen also wanted to eat, after all, he hadn't had a decent meal in dozens of days.

"This…" Lin Zhen was still considering, they were dark guards, it wasn't appropriate on the surface, was it?

"It's okay, I'll go tell Seventh Brother."

But Fujujiao didn't know when she would see him next.

"Seventh Brother since you let them protect me, then you have to listen to me." The little girl said domineeringly.

After looking at each other and considering the protests from their rumbling stomachs, they finally agreed.

The little girl brought two big men back home, which startled Tian Guihua. After knowing their identities, she felt relieved.

"Please, come in," said Tian Guihua politely.

"Mother, please let the second brother make more meat tonight. The two uncles haven't had meat in a long time."

Tian Guihua laughed and cried, "Alright, enough wine and meat."

"The meat is enough, but the alcohol can't be drunk."

After all, drinking leads to trouble.

Fu Jiujiu glanced at the tall man and said, "Mother, isn't our county lacking someone to guard the house?"

"Yeah, me and your dad are planning on going to buy it once we're done with this for a while."

Fujujiao looked at the two men and smiled, "You don't need to buy it. Aren't the two uncles more trustworthy than the buyer?"

Lin Zhen couldn't help but laugh and cry. This little girl was simply a sly fox!

Their elite Dark Guards actually going to a family clinic... only she could come up with something like that.

It's alright though, as they have never shown their faces to outsiders anyway. This was Master's plan all along.

Fu Jiujiu successfully hired two top-notch experts to protect the manor without spending any money. This time, the Tian family is probably going to have to think twice before causing trouble again, as they might not be able to withstand their own physical limitations.

"Yanyan, how many times have you gone in and out of the house? Is something the matter?"

Mengyan saw that there were guests, and she wanted to go out.

"Mother, the strawberry seedling's ledger is missing. I wonder if I left it in your room?"

Fu Jiaojiao shrunk her neck, Tian Guihua had already let her come in.

Mengyan looked around but couldn't find it. "I'll go take a look in other rooms," she said.

Fu Jiujiu saw her anxious expression and quickly surrendered, "Fourth Sister-in-law, is that ledger still useful? I...I took it to play with."
