Chapter 348: The Little Ghost, Bao Shu

Meng Qianqian couldn't think of any good ideas for the time being and could only ponder slowly.

The first step in toppling the Chancellor had been accomplished; the self-proclaimed pillar of Great Zhou was now detained in the Ministry of Justice prison.

Although not yet convicted, he couldn't escape punishment.

With this thought, the Duke's Manor still held the initiative.

A thick layer of ice doesn't form in a single day; the Chancellor's plans, spanning over a decade or even several decades, wouldn't collapse overnight.

But it didn't matter; she had patience.

For every card he played, she would counter. Eventually, he would run out of cards, and she was certain he wouldn't get away with it.

Meng Qianqian went to see Bao Shu.

The little one had stopped meditating and was probably asleep again.

Meng Qianqian returned to the main house, and as expected, the little one was sound asleep on the bed.

Tan Er and Bai Yuwei had finished their lotus soup and gone out to play, while Qingshuang was standing guard in the room.

Ban Xia had also served her a bowl of lotus soup.

Qingshuang thought for a moment and said, "Is there any left? Yu Zichuan is on the roof."

Ban Xia: "I can't deliver it up there."

Qingshuang carried the lotus soup out of the room and called out to the roof, "Yu Zichuan, catch!"

Meng Qianqian approached the bed and touched the little one's cheek.

It was soft and could melt anyone's heart.

Ban Xia spoke from outside the door, "Miss, Xique is here."

"Miss."

Xique entered the room and gave Meng Qianqian a bow. Seeing Bao Shu sleeping soundly, she immediately lowered her voice, "Is Miss Bao Shu asleep?"

Meng Qianqian spoke softly, "It's fine. Tell me, does Great-Grandmother want to see me?"

Xique smiled and said, "The manor has been busy these days, and Miss and Son-in-Law haven't gone to play cards with Elder Lady for some time. Elder Lady is feeling bored and sent me to ask if you're going to play cards with her tonight? If not, could you buy some storybooks? Last time, Miss Bao Shu tore them, and the ones you bought have all been read by Elder Lady. She said that if you're busy, just send Zhao Si to buy some more."

Hearing this, Meng Qianqian couldn't help but ask, "Has Great-Grandmother already sent Zhao Si to buy some?"

Xique gave an embarrassed smile.

"What did he buy?" Meng Qianqian asked.

Xique thought for a moment and replied, "Some folk tales—Heavenly Master Exorcises Ghosts, Headless Mystery Case... and Widowed Sister and Brother-in-Law Affairs."

The first few titles didn't seem too bad, but what was this Widowed Sister and Brother-in-Law Affairs?

Where did Zhao Si find such random storybooks?

No wonder Elder Lady always complained that the books Meng Qianqian bought weren't exciting enough after reading Zhao Si's.

Meng Qianqian sighed helplessly, touching her forehead, "I'll go take a look at the study."

Just as she was about to leave, a small, fleshy hand grabbed her sleeve.

She looked down and met a pair of big, bright, and sparkling eyes.

Meng Qianqian found it amusing, "Not pretending anymore?"

Every time Bao Shu meditated, she would fall asleep and be carried back to the room.

The first few times, she was genuinely tired, but later on, she learned to pretend to be asleep to fool others.

Such a little smarty!

"I want to go with Mother," Bao Shu said as she snuggled into Meng Qianqian's embrace.

Meng Qianqian was both amused and exasperated, "Do you want to go out and play?"

Bao Shu pouted, "Wherever Mother goes, Baby will go."

Meng Qianqian sighed, "I'm not going out."

Bao Shu's face fell in disappointment.

Meng Qianqian couldn't help but laugh, tapping her little nose, "I'll take you."

"Hooray!" Bao Shu exclaimed excitedly, climbing out of bed.

Meng Qianqian went to Liu Qingyun's room, "Mother, I'm going out for a while. Do you want to take a walk too?"

Liu Qingyun replied leisurely, "No, I've arranged to play cards with some ladies."

Meng Qianqian was taken aback, "Do you have friends in the capital?"

Liu Qingyun opened a jar of snow cream, "It's all for our son."

The whole family was working to overthrow the Chancellor, and she couldn't let the two little ones fight alone.

Liu Qingyun was very proud, but if she lowered her pride to please others, there was nothing she couldn't achieve.

Meng Qianqian praised, "Mother, you're so amazing. You're not only beautiful but also so capable."

"Liu Qingyun spoke with an arrogant expression, 'If I didn't give birth to such an outstanding son, what would I be doing outside?'"

Meng Qianqian said, "To buy some books."

Liu Qingyun handed her a stack of silver bills, "Come back after you've spent it all."

Meng Qianqian bowed, "Thank you, Mother!"

Meng Qianqian put away the silver bills and strode out of the mansion.

As soon as she got into the carriage, she found Tan Er and Bai Yuwei were also there.

Bai Yuwei immediately pointed at Tan Er, "She wanted to come too!"

Tan Er hugged herself, "Ah, I also wanted to come!"

Bai Yuwei said, "If you can come, why can't I?"

Tan Er said, "I came with my sister."

Bai Yuwei said, "She's also my sister-in-law!"

Bao Shu walked in front of the two and raised her chubby little hand, covering their mouths.

Tan Er pulled her hand away and asked sternly, "Bao Zhu Zhu, why are you doing this?"

Bai Yuwei also grabbed her chubby hand, "Yes, why are you covering my mouth?"

Bao Shu whined, "You're being noisy."

Just as Bai Yuwei was about to argue, she suddenly thought of something and said strangely, "Oh, aren't you supposed to be meditating? If you sneaked out, does my aunt know?"

Tan Er suddenly realized, "Bao Zhu Zhu, you're slacking off again!"

Bao Shu blinked innocently, then turned to Bai Yuwei and said, "Auntie, Tan Er said you're fat."

Bai Yuwei instantly exploded, scolding Tan Er harshly, "Me, fat? Am I as fat as you? I haven't even said you're short! You're thirteen years old, and you haven't grown at all!"

Tan Er hated it when others said she wasn't growing, and she angrily said, "Who says I'm not growing? I am growing!"

"You're not growing!"

"I am! You're fat! So fat! White and fat!"

"White and fat is my auntie's nickname."

Bao Shu, who had started the argument, quietly sat back on her small cushion, concealing her true abilities.

Meng Qianqian said, "You're such a little schemer. Do you want me to tell your grandmother?"

Bao Shu blinked, "All of Bao Bao's pocket money is spent on Mother."

Meng Qianqian: "..."

---

Meng Qianqian went to the market.

After a long time of not visiting, there were many new faces.

More than half of the stalls were unfamiliar to her.

Unfortunately, the bookshop was closed, and when she asked the neighboring shop, she learned that the owner had gone out and wasn't sure if they would open today.

That's how business in the market was; it was all about luck.

"Sister, I'm so hungry," Tan Er said, rubbing her stomach.

Bai Yuwei scoffed, "You just had lotus soup, and you ate two bowls! You won't grow if you just eat."

Tan Er looked her up and down, "You will grow."

Bai Yuwei covered her stomach, "I... I just had a few extra bites."

Speaking of which, the food at the Duke's Manor was too good. Bai Yuwei's gourd-shaped face had become a small round face.

"Little sister isn't fat. Don't worry, Tan Er has grown taller too. We'll have to make new winter clothes."

Meng Qianqian poured a bowl of water, temporarily calming their anger.

Meng Qianqian said, "There's a famous mutton restaurant on the nearby old street. Xiao Ru said their mutton hot pot is excellent. Let's go and try it."

The group went to the mutton restaurant.

Meng Qianqian asked for a private room on the second floor.

As soon as they sat down, Bao Shu needed to use the toilet.

Bai Yuwei muttered, "Why didn't she go to the toilet just now? Kids are so troublesome!"

Tan Er said, "You're the troublesome one! Bao Zhu Zhu, let's go!"

Tan Er took Bao Shu downstairs to look for the toilet.

"It's in the backyard," the waiter said.

"Where is it?" Tan Er asked, searching for a long time without finding it.

Bao Shu couldn't hold it anymore and reached out to grab a passing uncle, "Toilet, pee."

The man wore a conical hat with a very low brim, revealing only a hint of his silver mask.

He extended his hand, which was covered by a black glove, and pointed east.

Tan Er thanked him, "Thank you, sir! Bao Zhu Zhu, let's go!"

Bao Shu was carried in Tan Er's embrace, and she looked back at the man.

Finally finished, I'm going to get vaccinated, woe, please give me a comforting ticket~
