Acai's Sky

Chapter 272: Foster Care

"Crack~"

The storyteller clapped his hands and said, "Stop talking."

The originally noisy voices in the hall suddenly stopped, and everyone stopped talking, all looking towards the center of the stage.

There stood a storyteller in a green gown. He was calm and composed, gently waving his folding fan, ready to start today's exciting chapter.

"Dear readers, today we are going to talk about some interesting things about the Wuwei Marquis Mansion..."

The storyteller's voice was mellow and magnetic, as if it had a kind of magic, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Speaking of which, early this morning..."

As the storyteller narrates, a vivid picture slowly unfolds before people's eyes.

"The entire mansion is bustling with activity at night, like a unique game of hide-and-seek..."

Ah Cai stared intently at Tong Jiawu on the stage and couldn't help but whisper, "Isn't it a problem for the storyteller to ridicule the Wuwei Marquis Mansion in this way?"

Tong Jiawu smiled slightly, gently picked up Ah Cai, and placed her on the chair beside her. She said softly, "What's the harm? We've been listening to this for five years now, and we've heard all the interesting stories about various mansions. It's just that the stories about the Wuwei Marquisate seem particularly rich and colorful."

Ah Cai opened her mouth in surprise and asked in disbelief, "Can you even talk about the affairs of princes and ministers so casually?"

Tong Jiawu nodded affirmatively and responded, "Of course, whether it's true or not, just treat it as a joke."

Ah Cai blinked her bright eyes and suddenly suggested, "How about we make up some stories and spread them? For example, about a mysterious treasure left over from the previous dynasty..."

Tong Jiawu couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said jokingly with a smile: "If you really want to turn the Marquis' Mansion upside down, then go ahead and make it up!"

Ah Cai sang while shaking her head.

"I have a little secret..."

"Don't tell anyone..."

She turned her head to look at the box next to her. She felt like someone was staring at her. She scratched her head and thought, maybe she was having hysterics!

……

In the box on the right side, Fatty Wang was listening to Ah Cai's unpleasant baby voice and teasing her shoulders.

Qi Yunkai patted Wang Dapang with his fan, telling him to be more obedient and scare the little guy away so that he could settle the score with him.

"Has our Lord Lin recently given the little one a lot of mini tableware and supplies?"

Fatty Wang nodded. "I think that thing is cute. The little girl will like it."

"Shall we give you something? Tai Chi is really good to practice. Every time I practice it, I sweat all over, and my blood circulation feels smooth and comfortable."

Fatty Wang couldn't think of anything to give the little girl. "The toys in the palace are all for princes and princesses. Are they suitable for a little girl?"

"Give it away! Ask the inner court to make more clothes and jewelry for the little dolls, the more exquisite ones, and give them away."

Fatty Wang paced back and forth. "Just now, that girl said they were also making up stories about treasures from the previous dynasty for the storyteller. Did they know something..."

Qi Yunkai didn't take it seriously. "It's not surprising to hear about the chaos in Marquis Lin's mansion. The boy I met today has been watching the drama in the mansion for five years."

……

The box on the left.

Lin Hou smiled and listened with great interest to his daughter's out-of-tune singing.

"Hahaha, there's actually some secret you're hiding that you don't want to tell..."

Steward Feng, who was standing by, saw Lord Lin laughing non-stop and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Could it be that the young lady really knows where the treasure is hidden?"

Marquis Lin raised his lips slightly and chuckled softly, "Haha, didn't you hear that little girl about to start making up a story? In my opinion, they probably just know that the treasure is hidden in our mansion, but what they are really interested in is nothing more than watching us make a fool of ourselves."

Captain Li, the guard standing nearby, had a helpless look on his face, muttering to himself: This father and daughter are really alike, both so keen on watching the lively scenes at home!

At this moment, Steward Feng lowered his voice and said cautiously, "I just seemed to catch a glimpse of Fatty Wang passing by. Could it be that even our extremely noble Emperor Qi has come out of the palace for a stroll today?"

Lord Lin nodded slightly, agreeing with what Butler Feng said, and then replied nonchalantly, "Don't pay any attention to him. He must be jealous after hearing how many gifts I gave to my own children..."

At this point, Lord Lin suddenly changed the subject and added firmly, "Humph! He has a large family with many sons and daughters, yet he covets my sweet and adorable little girl. No way! No matter what, no one can take my precious daughter away from me..."

Butler Feng was speechless. Who the hell stole your child? Why is the Marquis so narcissistic lately?

He looked up at Guard Captain Li and saw that he also had a shameless expression on his face...

Lord Lin was contented, "The little girl likes to hear about the funny things happening in our mansion, so let's make up a few more for her to enjoy."

Butler Feng covered his face with his sleeves. He was so embarrassed. He even made up his own fun? Really.

……

"Crack~"

"That's all for today's fun. Next, let's talk about the little quirks of the young masters of the Qin Mansion."

"This Qin Moyu, Master Moyu, goes into the underground tunnel every night to have secret meetings, and his own children are all fostered in other families..."

"Pfft~"

"Cough cough~"

"God damn foster care, this storyteller is simply killing me, cough cough cough..."

Ah Cai was coughing violently and kept muttering and complaining.

Seeing this, Tong Jiawu hurried forward and carefully wiped the cough stains from the corners of Ah Cai's mouth. She said softly, "Okay, this kind of thing is nothing new to everyone. People say it every day. It's just that there's no solid evidence."

Ah Cai became even more curious after hearing this. Her eyes widened as she asked, "Isn't this storyteller afraid that the young master of the Qin family will come and settle the score? How can he be so bold?"

Tong Jiawu smiled slightly and explained, "You are still too naive. Do you know who opened this teahouse? It is the property of the Jin Palace!

In this area, who dares to meddle in other people's business? Besides, that Prince Jin is a notorious troublemaker, and no one dares to provoke him easily."

Hearing this, Ah Cai immediately became interested and asked, "Oh? Could it be that this scoundrel from Ningguo seems to have some literary talent? It's really unexpected...

But as the saying goes, what we fear most is hooligans with culture..."
