The place Xu Xinyue went to was none other than Mobaozhai.

Uncle Zhang is the inside messenger.

"Uncle Zhang!" Xu Xinyue's intimate voice sounded.

Uncle Zhang was still at the counter, using his abacus and looking at his account book. He replied without even looking up, "Here I am."

Xu Xinyue approached Uncle Zhang in a flattering manner, fanned him with her own hands, and said with a smile:

"Uncle Zhang, I have something to ask of you."

Uncle Zhang didn't even look at her, and snorted, "You don't come here for no reason, why do you want my help?"

"No, this time it's just a small favor. I want Uncle Zhang to help me revise a script."

As he spoke, he took out the small sandalwood box, took out the manuscript and placed it in front of him with both hands.

"The third part of this original manuscript has a tragic ending. Can Uncle Zhang help change it to a happy ending?

And it would be best if only the third part was revised..."

"... Let me take a look at the manuscript first..."

Uncle Zhang reads very fast. He doesn't need the chapter outline index and reads the entire manuscript directly at a glance.

His brows tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again as the story unfolded, and from time to time he made a "tsk tsk" sound with his mouth.

In less than an hour, the entire story was read.

Uncle Zhang clicked his tongue and said, "This story is interconnected and the tragic ending is inevitable. It may not be easy to change it, Yueyue." Uncle Zhang stared at the ending of the story and rubbed his chin in embarrassment.

"It's not easy to change, so it can still be changed?" Xu Xinyue caught the key words in his words, pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly: "Uncle Zhang, good Uncle Zhang, I have always regarded you as my father.

My shop ran into trouble because of this story, and you have the heart to watch me lose money?

If it were an ordinary person, I could have made the changes myself, but this writer's personal style is too obvious. I am not experienced enough to imitate him, so I'm afraid you are the only one who can help me with this.

Daddy told me that you were a great scholar in the past, and he couldn’t compare to you!"

Uncle Zhang was delighted by Xu Xinyue's flattery.

"Really? Did Old Xu really say that?"

"Yes, Daddy said it himself." He said this while silently thinking in his heart: Daddy, for the sake of your daughter, you have to bear a little bit of grievance for a while.

Uncle Zhang and Xu Yuanshan have always loved to compete with each other, from their youth to the present, from knowledge to wives, and neither of them is willing to "submit" to the other.

Now both of them are over thirty years old and still evenly matched, with no result.

"Since Old Xu thinks so, I'll help you!"

Xu Xinyue was overjoyed:

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang. I'll bring you some snacks!"

"I want the lotus cake from the Treasure Pavilion. Forget about making it yourself. I can't afford it."

At the end of his words, Uncle Zhang waved his hands repeatedly.

As the two of them were chatting and laughing, they didn't notice that a figure had been standing at the door for a long time.

It was Uncle Zhang who discovered him first.

"Hey, Mr. Qi, are you here to buy some paper?"

Qi Mobai nodded slightly and walked into the door.

Xu Xinyue also greeted him naturally with a smile on her face: "Master Qi."

"Yeah." Qi Mobai nodded in response without saying much.

He lowered his head and went to the area where papers were stacked to start shopping.

Uncle Zhang and Xu Xinyue didn't take it to heart and continued chatting without deliberately lowering their voices.

"Where did you get this book? It must have cost a lot of money to ask such a person to write it."

"I don't know. It was originally owned by my father, Chun Yang Bookstore, but it was recently handed over to me. This is the first time I've encountered this situation.

Shopkeeper Wang said that he hired a writer to write this storybook, but later the writer defected to a rival company and leaked the storybook..."

"How could such a mean person be so unreasonable! He is totally unworthy of a scholar!"

Uncle Zhang was so indignant that he didn't notice that Qi Mobai, who was picking paper with his back turned not far away, suddenly trembled, and the rice paper in his hand was twisted into wrinkles by his palm.

Xu Xinyue held down his arms which were waving wildly in excitement.

"Uncle Zhang, don't get excited. People often say that handwriting reflects a person's character. I always feel that the person who wrote such words must have some difficulties to do such a thing. I think that Shopkeeper Wang is not quite right either. It is still unclear who is right and who is wrong."

Qi Mobai turned his head slightly, but because his upper body was hidden in the shadows, his expression could not be seen clearly.

Only the protruding Adam's apple could be vaguely seen rolling up and down.

His earlobes moved slightly, as if he was trying his best to hear clearly what Xu Xinyue said next.

"Anyway, I think there must be something else going on here, and I'll find out.

Uncle Zhang, please help me change the ending first. If I really can’t change it to a happy ending, it’d be best if it’s very different from the original manuscript. This is my only option at the moment…”

"Well, leave it to me. You can go back first."

"Well, I'll go first." Xu Xinyue turned around and was about to leave, but saw Qi Mobai still standing there.

He seemed to have been standing there since just now, without moving.

Then he politely said goodbye to Qi Mobai: "Mr. Qi, take your time to choose. I'm leaving first."

Qi Mobai still didn't turn around, but just tilted his head a little more and nodded slightly at her.

After she left Mobaozhai for a long time, Uncle Zhang slapped his head and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell Yueyue that I let the secret slip, and Old Xu already knows about it!"

He went out to look, but Xu Xinyue was nowhere to be seen.

He muttered, "I hope Yueyue can run faster like she does now when she gets beaten..."

When I turned around, I didn't know when Qi Mobai disappeared.

There was only a piece of wrinkled rice paper and a few copper coins on the counter.

"Young people are so fast, they disappeared so quickly..."

Xu Xinyue returned to Prince Rong's Mansion.

As soon as I entered the mansion, I saw that Xiao Shu's feet seemed to be on fire. He kept turning around with his head down and mumbling something.

Xu Xianyue called out strangely: "Xiao Shu, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Shu looked up immediately after hearing this: "Miss, you are back. Something happened. The master is looking for you!"

Xu Xinyue didn't understand why, so she asked as she walked, "Why did Daddy look for me? Didn't he go out today?"

"It was only after he went out that he found out about that incident." The more Xiao Shu spoke, the weaker his voice became.

"What's going on? You're so mysterious."

"It's the thing that you have never dared to let me know. I already know it..."

Xu Xinyue paused, turned around in surprise, and asked in a low voice: "You mean... the incident with the mountain bandits? Did he know about it!?"

Xiao Shu nodded sadly: "Yes, he is very angry that he was kept in the dark for so long, and he is waiting in your yard now!"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Xu Xinyue glanced at the yard in front of her and turned around hurriedly: "Help me hold it, I'll go out and hide."

Before he could even lift his legs, a powerful shout came from behind him: "Yueyue! Where are you going?"

Xu Xinyue said inwardly, "Oh no."

She didn't care about her ladylike image and just turned around and ran away.

The voice behind him continued: "Xu Xinyue, stop right there!"

Xu Xinyue wandered aimlessly, not knowing the direction, feeling "miserable" inside: I will definitely get beaten today.

Suddenly, a dark figure came from a distance. Xu Xianyue seemed to have seen a savior and shouted to him:

"My Lord, help me!"

Without waiting for Qin Yuechuan's response, he hid behind him in a flash.

Qin Yuechuan had broad shoulders and long legs, completely blocking Xu Xinyue behind him.

Before he could react to what was happening, Xu Yuanshan grabbed a branch he had broken from somewhere, and chased after him breathlessly. Without even bothering to salute, he pointed behind Qin Yuechuan and said:

"Xiao Yueyue, come out here! Don't think I won't dare to touch you just because you hide behind the prince!"

Xu Xinyue grabbed the belt around Qin Yuechuan's waist, poked out half of her head, revealing only a pair of bright eyes, and replied sullenly:

"do not want!"

Xu Yuanshan was even more out of breath after hearing her words, and tried to control himself:

"Please move aside, Your Majesty. This is a private matter of our Xu family and has nothing to do with Your Majesty. Please don't stop me from teaching this little thing a lesson!"

Seeing this, Qin Yuechuan subconsciously raised his hand to protect Xu Xinyue's head, tucked her behind him, and advised kindly:

"Uncle Xu, if you have anything to say, please talk it over. Don't get angry. Maybe I can mediate."

In such a situation, Qin Yuechuan couldn't use his status as a prince to suppress Xu Yuanshan, and he unconsciously used the word "I" in his words.

“Your Highness, there is no need for you to bother mediating. I already know the whole story.

This little girl wanted to hide such a big thing from me, her father. It's really outrageous!

He was kidnapped by mountain bandits and he wanted to hide it from me, and he also wanted to hide that Lao Zhang from me... It's simply, simply..."

Qin Yuechuan probably knew about it, it was because of this matter.

He took the initiative to take the responsibility: "Uncle Xu, this matter is also related to me, I also know about it."

As if she had been reminded, Xu Xinyue poked her head out again: "That's right, the prince also knows about this, Daddy, you..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Xu Yuanshan holding a branch and trying to come around from the left.

Qin Yuechuan subconsciously leaned to the left and stretched out his left arm to protect Xu Xinyue.

Xu Yuanshan wanted to launch a sneak attack from the right side, but how could he compare to Qin Yuechuan who had practiced martial arts since childhood.

He turned to the right again, with his arms spread out to protect Xu Xinyue.

Xu Yuanshan fought back and forth several times, but was finally defeated by Qin Yuechuan's physical strength.

"Uncle Xu, this matter is also for Xu Xinyue's reputation. I have never let anyone know about it, always thinking that it is better to have fewer people know than more.

I didn't want to make you worry, so I kept it a secret. It's not her fault."

"Of course I know it's not her fault. I'm just angry that she hid such a big thing from even a father like me. Sigh!"

Xu Yuanshan sighed, threw away the branch in his hand as if to relieve the force, and said: "It's my fault that I'm useless as a father."
