could King Jing know that this kind of fish had disappeared near the capital"“I was lucky. When I settled down in this place, I met an old farmer who needed money. He asked me if I wanted some fish. I...Moreover, isn't Hu Ailan his biological mother Around the age of four, children are at their most attached to their mothers. Since the two relied on each other so much, isn't Dong'er's attitude towards Hu Ailan a bit strange

I'm always afraid of getting too close to her.

Fang Jinshi felt that there was definitely something fishy about it, and it was still very necessary to figure out what was going on.

She took a fresh wild peach from her bosom, smiled at Dong'er, and beckoned him over.

This kid, despite having a heavy guard up, is still just a child. He's also been hungry for a long time, and food holds deadly allure for him, especially this luscious peach radiating sweetness.

Although Dong'er didn't move, her eyes were glued to the peach in her hand, her gaze as if wanting to snatch it up instantly.

Fang Jinxiu wouldn't let him have it so easily. She pulled back her hand, using her height as an adult to bully Dong'er, who was too short to reach.

He smelled the taste of peach but couldn't see or eat it.

"Want to eat it I could give it to you, but this peach is a treasured good of mine. I wouldn't even eat it myself. Why would I just give it away for nothing"

Dong'er, who had never spoken a word proactively since arriving at the Zong family, actually responded to Fang Jinshi this time.

"Because I'm a child, I might be your son in the future."

Fang Jinxiu was stunned for a moment. This child, is her thinking a bit too... too mature

Would a typical four-year-old say this

From the moment she started speaking with the boy, Fang Jinxiu had already set a trap to test him. Her words were not intentionally simplified for someone so young.

A four-year-old child's understanding ability differs greatly from that of an adult, yet Dong'er accurately understood her words.

Either the other party is a genius child prodigy, or this child has been receiving cultural education since they were babbling, and their thinking has been trained.

If it was the former, she wouldn't have much to say. If it was the latter, Dong'er must not be Hu Ailan's biological child.

Given her circumstances and capabilities, she was simply unable to find a suitable early childhood educator for her toddler, who was just over a year old. This kind of care was only something children from wealthy families could afford.

Moreover, the people in the countryside these days are barely surviving, let alone having the awareness to send their children for early education.

It's simply a fairy tale.

Fang Jinshi's gaze at Dong'er was filled with scrutiny. "Whether you can become my son is still uncertain. Do you think my son, Fang Jinshi's son, is someone anyone can just become"

Dong'er looked at the peach and swallowed.

"What if I offered you a secret in exchange"

Oh This boy really surprised her.

Fang Jinshu remained calm and said, "Then I'll have to see if this secret is worth a peach."

"If you try to fool me with baseless gossip about random cats and dogs fighting, wouldn't I be the one at a loss"

"What's the secret Tell me."

Dong'er furrowed her brow, seemingly considering whether to agree to tell her the secret in advance.

Fang Jinshu secretly smiled, the little brat, no matter how clever he was, he was still just a little kid, daring to play tricks in front of her.

After a moment of thought, Dong'er's stomach let out a rumbling sound. Fang Jinshi smiled and raised an eyebrow.

"Hungry I still have some delicious egg pancakes and meat buns here. As long as you tell me your secret, you can have them all."

If the temptation isn't enough, Fang Jinshi should increase the stakes. Dong'er might be able to figure it out if she gets a few years older. Egg pancakes and meat buns are food that the Zong family usually eats, and they're about to have breakfast soon. It's not like she could be tricked into having nothing left to wear by Fang Jinshi.

She pulled the boy who was constantly swallowing saliva into a corner, and laid out food and drink in front of Dong'er.

Give him a bite for every word he says.

Fang Jinshiu's rou jia mo was incredibly delicious, even adults couldn't resist its flavor, let alone Dong'er, a young boy who had never seen anything like it before.

This kid, after just one bite, was completely subdued by Fang Jinxiu's delicious food. His little secrets poured out like money!

We agreed to say one sentence for every bite. Before, I was so quiet, but now I'm chatty Cathy! I can't help but say ten sentences for every bite.

He exposed all of Hu Ailan's scandals and little secrets.

Fāng Jǐnxīu listened and was truly astonished. She chuckled twice, a glint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

"So that's how it is."
