Liu Yaoyao looked at Liu Jingshu's happy expression, her eyes falling on the book intentionally or unintentionally.

Why did she remember that Granny Xue also gave her a copy, but it didn't seem to be the same.

Hey, how did Liu Jingshu suddenly get this book?

I remember that Grandma Xue also gave her a book before, but why do they look like they are not the same book?

Liu Yaoyao muttered to herself, as if the book in her hand had suddenly turned into a limited edition treasure, while Liu Jingshu's copy was just a pirated product sold on the street.

Back then, she and Ling Chenyu had gone through untold hardships, traveled through mountains and rivers, and were even almost eaten by a wild boar in order to get this book.

As a result, Liu Jingshu got it so easily now. It was like pie falling from the sky. She was even a little jealous.

Liu Yaoyao secretly turned her head and caught a glimpse of Grandma Xue's barely perceptible sarcastic smile from the corner of her eye.

She suddenly felt a chill down her spine, as if her thoughts had been seen through.

There seemed to be some unspeakable secret hidden in Grandma Xue's smile, which made Liu Yaoyao shudder.

Liu Yaoyao's mind moved, and she silently raised her inner doubts.

"Grandma Xue, what do you mean?"

Grandma Xue’s iconic smile is like a blooming chrysanthemum, layer upon layer, becoming more and more brilliant.

She nodded slightly, as if responding to Liu Yaoyao's question.

Liu Yaoyao's mind seemed to be caught in a whirlwind, with all kinds of thoughts spinning wildly.

She tried to find more clues from Grandma Xue's smile.

While Liu Yaoyao's mind was working frantically, Liu Jingshu was still immersed in the joy of getting the new book.

She held the book in her hands, grinning from ear to ear like a child, totally unaware of the undercurrent between Liu Yaoyao and Granny Xue.

Liu Yaoyao stood aside, her eyes as sharp as a dagger, muttering to herself.

"How could Granny Xue, this old fox, let Liu Jingshu go so easily? She must have another trick up her sleeve."

As expected, Grandma Xue's steady voice suddenly rang out, breaking the brief silence.

"Girl, don't leave yet, I still have something to say."

The smile on Liu Jingshu's face had not yet completely disappeared, but when she heard Grandma Xue's words, she immediately put on a respectful look.

"Granny Xue, do you have any other instructions?"

Granny Xue walked slowly, her eyes moving back and forth between Liu Yaoyao and Liu Jingshu, finally stopping on Liu Yaoyao.

"The girl next to you and I have a deep connection. I think she's smart and likable, so I want to keep her to chat with me and relieve my boredom."

Liu Jingshu's smile froze on her face instantly, like a half-torn sticker. She smiled awkwardly, her eyes moving back and forth between the two of them, as if looking for a suitable explanation.

Liu Yaoyao was secretly delighted, as she had long expected that Granny Xue would not let her go so easily.

She pretended to be flattered.

"Grandma Xue, I'm really flattered that you praise me like this. But I'd love to chat with you!"

Granny Xue nodded with satisfaction and a kind smile appeared on her face.

"Then it's settled. You, girl, should stay and keep me, an old man, company."

Liu Jingshu stood aside, her hands clenched, her eyes flashing with complex emotions.

She watched Granny Xue and Liu Yaoyao chatting and singing in unison, as if they were performing a carefully choreographed drama, which made her feel mixed emotions.

"What on earth is this Granny Xue up to?"

Liu Jingshu thought to herself, frowning.

"Why are you so enthusiastic about Liu Yaoyao all of a sudden? Did she discover something?"

Countless possibilities flashed through her mind, but she could not be sure of Grandma Xue's true intentions.

She decided to take action and not let Liu Yaoyao be taken away by Grandma Xue.

Liu Jingshu took a deep breath, forced a smile, and walked forward.

"Granny Xue, Yaoyao is my good sister and I like her very much. However, she has some important things to do recently, so I'm afraid she can't stay with you."

Granny Xue's lips curled up slightly, with a sharp gleam in her eyes.

"Oh? Are you trying to steal my girl? Let me tell you, Yaoyao and I are destined to be together."

Liu Jingshu's heart tightened, knowing that Granny Xue would not give up so easily.

She rolled her eyes and thought of a plan: "Grandma Xue, you also know that my sister and I have a good relationship. How about this, I stay with you and let my sister take care of her things?"

The corners of Granny Xue's mouth twitched slightly, and her brows were furrowed, as if she was disgusted with shit.

"You? Stay with me? I don't like you!"

Liu Jingshu's face froze and she couldn't keep her smile going.

Liu Jingshu's face froze, and the smile on her face instantly froze.

She is the princess consort of the dignified Prince Han, and she had even been the queen in her previous life. She is definitely better than Liu Yaoyao. Why is it that an old country woman has to despise her?

But now I need help.

She gritted her teeth in her heart but had to keep a smile on her face.

"Granny Xue, what you said really makes me feel ashamed. But I'm not here to chat with you. I have something important to do."

Granny Xue was startled, then raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Something important? That's great, I also have something important to do, and that is to keep Yaoyao."

Liu Jingshu looked at Grandma Xue's determined eyes and knew in her heart that this old woman was determined to keep Liu Yaoyao.

She became anxious and decided to use her last resort.

She glanced back calmly and winked at Shadow Knife.

It's time to show your true skills!

Yingdao, this agile and fast-moving gangster, curled up a playful smile after receiving Liu Jingshu's signal.

He seemed to have turned into a wisp of smoke, drifting silently in the direction of Liu Yaoyao.

The moment Grandma Xue turned around, Ying Dao suddenly jumped up from the ground and pounced on Liu Yaoyao like an agile leopard.

He put his arm around Liu Yaoyao's waist, carried her on his shoulders, and prepared to evacuate in a "lightning-speed" manner.

It all happened so fast that when Granny Xue turned around, she saw a dark shadow passing by, and then heard Liu Yaoyao's scream.
