”I've really never seen a fool like the Seventh Prince, rushing to become his father!” Jin Xiaotao sat in the room, eating melon seeds while rolling her eyes.

Every time she thought about how Jin Xiaoluo had given birth to a bastard and could even claim the life of a prince, Jin Xiaotao would feel a lump of mud in her heart, causing her to be unable to catch her breath. When she turned around, she saw Guangkun staring blankly out of the window with listless eyes.

She had originally thought that after the Mrs. Ji came to ask He Guangkun a few questions, Jin Xiaolou would have been swept out of her room in the blink of an eye and back to her home in Xin Ning.

The wind blew past, but Jin Xiaolou did not even move the grass. Instead, she was even more pleased with herself.

Linlang Liu-Li's two businesses were in full swing as they started to make something like jelly. It was said that she had already made her way into the palace.

Jin Xiaotao threw the melon seed shell on the table towards He Guangkun, causing the scattered seed shell to splash all over his body.

He Guangkun stood up abruptly, he shook off the melon seeds on his body, and stared at Jin Xiaotao with disbelief: ”How dare you! Disrespectful! How could I take an ignorant woman like you! ”

Jin Xiaotao coldly snorted. ”I even regret marrying such a useless man! If it weren't for you holding me back, I wouldn't be like this today. ”

”What happened to you today?” He Guangkun's face was filled with anger.

Although he couldn't compare to the famous aristocrats in the capital, he still raised himself up in a noble house. In the Xin Ning, in a place where the heavens were high and the emperor was far away, he was still the crown prince.

It was her own fault for being blind. At that time, Jin Xiaotao was the subject of a peasant girl, and it was father and mother who absolutely did not agree to it in the first place.

”What's wrong with me?” Jin Xiaotao was so angry that she started laughing, ”Look at Jin Xiaolou, then look at me, what did you say happened to me?!”

”A human heart is not satisfied with swallowing an elephant!” He Guangkun didn't want to speak anymore with Jin Xiaotao, he only regretted marrying Jin Xiaolou back then.

One of these two sisters was from heaven while the other was from earth!

Jin Xiaotao was also unwilling to waste words with He Guangkun, she glared at him, then raised her head and shouted out: ”Luo'er!”

After a moment, a Little Maid with two bun entered the house.

”How is it going with what I told you to ask?” Jin Xiaotao's face was filled with impatience.

”If you find out anything about the shopkeeper, the jelly is extraordinarily simple. It's made from lotus flowers that grow out of the mud on the riverbank.”

”Lotus stem?” I've never heard of such a thing! ” Jin Xiaotao's face was full of suspicion.

”Mm …” I think it's called the Ghost Head Lotus Rod, which can be grinded into powder and turned into a tune! ” Luo'er looked up, ”It's really very simple, but very few people know of this recipe, so Jin Xiaolou made it fresh.”

Jin Xiaotao rolled her eyes. ”Did you hear it from someone, reliable?”

”There's a girl called Jinhua in the Liuli Workshop.” ”I'm from the same village, so I didn't know her at all. She told me all about it after just a few words.”

”Then, how could you know about that lotus flower pole?” Jin Xiaotao's face revealed extreme joy.

Luo'er nodded and leaned over to whisper a few words into Jin Xiaotao's ear.

The two of them immediately walked out.

When He Guangkun saw Jin Xiaotao's expression, he knew that she was going to make things difficult for him again.

Last time, under the pressure and enticement of Jin Xiaotao, He Guangkun had already unwillingly lied in front of the Mrs. Ji.

Because of slandering Jin Xiaolou as her own child, He Guangkun had always felt uneasy. Right now, he followed Jin Xiaotao and left the house from head to toe, hurriedly heading towards Golden Appendage Lane.

Jin Xiaolou was bringing along Lin'er and Lv Yun to play with the tadpoles by the river.

It was still too early for Fang Zi to open the door, so the three of them were tired from playing. They were sitting by the river in the cool breeze when they suddenly saw a person sneakily leaning behind a willow tree not far away, peeking his head out towards them.

Jin Xiaolou's eyes were sharp, and instantly recognized that it was He Guangkun.

Jin Xiaolou turned and said to Lv Yun, ”Look after Lin'er, I'll be right back.”

With that, he stood up and walked towards He Guangkun. Seeing Jin Xiaolou coming over, He Guangkun immediately stood up, his expression serious.

In He Guangkun's impression, Jin Xiaolou was still the little girl who told him to paint some vinegar when he first met her, but now that he had taken a closer look, he realised that this little girl's face had become more plump and fair, and was even more radiant than before.

Shi Mu felt a little dizzy. He supported the willow tree by his side before standing up.

”Lady Xiaolou, do you still remember me?” He Guangkun asked softly.
