"Then why are you looking for me?" Qhianqhian couldn’t pretend to be oblivious anymore and had to reluctantly squat down, only to find that she was shorter than Jin Miao standing...

Instantly, she was even more frustrated with her height. Why did she have to end up being a shorty?

"Is the Jin Family... finished?" Jin Miao’s expression was indifferent, as if it didn’t concern him at all.

Qhianqhian was at a loss, unsure how to explain this. Although it wasn’t over yet, it wouldn’t be long... After all, what she did was enough to make the Jin Family disappear completely.

But this child was still part of the Jin Family, so she didn’t know what to say.

Having been caught red-handed doing bad things, what could she do? She could only maintain a smile and remain silent.

"Unfortunately, I haven’t taken action yet." Jin Miao released Qhianqhian’s hand. "Don’t get me wrong, I won’t seek revenge for the Jin Family. I’m just an unacknowledged illegitimate child, and my mother already perished in the fire. No one in this world knows I’m still alive."

If he hadn’t sneaked out at night to build snowmen with friends, he might not have escaped that disaster either.

When he discovered the fire, he ran home quickly, but he saw people trying to escape the house being thrown back in by those outside, and he stopped in his tracks, not daring to take another step forward.

Even though he knew his mother, his aunt and uncle, and his biological brother were inside...

Jin Laifu only knew this woman bore a son, but he never knew it was a pair of twins.

Twins were considered an ominous sign here, representing only one would survive.

Even with fraternal twins, the saying did not apply, only with twin boys. Two children represented one being yin and the other yang, with yin meaning decline and yang meaning rise.

And often when it’s impossible to determine, they would choose to rather mistakenly kill 3,000 than let one go, meaning both children couldn’t survive.

His mother claimed she only had one child to the outside world to protect the brothers and to enter the Jin Family.

Facing Jin Laifu and Jin Xianchuan, however, was different, although their nature was the same.

Jin Laifu’s wife Yang Chunxiu was key to his wealth, and Yang Chunxiu was the only daughter of the first merchant Yang Family, marrying down to him, so he dared not raise a concubine into the household.

However, his and Yang Chunxiu’s only child was extremely extravagant, bringing any woman he liked into the residence, and Yang Chunxiu was happy to see her son expanding branches.

As long as there was news of pregnancy, they would generously reward it.

"In your next life, be born into a good family. Master... he’s not a good father."

Someone watched the house burn down to nothing but ruins and rubble, threw down a handful of yellow paper, sighed, and followed the departing group.

"Is the Master really so afraid of the Madam? One word scared him into handling all these people? How could the Madam not notice, considering she also bore a young master..."

"The Madam is just unwilling to haggle with the Master since it doesn’t threaten her position as the main wife. All she cares about now is Young Master Chuan’s future."

"Young Master Jin Xianchuan is our only young master, and this Jin Yuanshan is just a child not listed in the family register, unrelated to our Master. Be careful not to speak carelessly, or the Master might just..."

Jin Miao followed this group closely, hearing this, he collapsed to the ground, looking at them leave in disbelief.

His relatives, his family, were actually killed by his biological father’s hand?!

Sitting dazedly on the ground for a whole day and night before standing up, he headed to Gold Scale City, but even when he entered the city, he couldn’t do anything to the vast Jin Residence, after all, he was just a child.

But at this moment, he discovered that this "brother" entered the Hua Residence.

Hua Residence was not as heavily guarded as the Jin Residence.

Although someone noticed him, they didn’t pay much attention.

Soon he discovered something was off with the people in this family, and then he saw Jin Xianchuan sending a few boxes here early in the morning. Opening the boxes, the contents dazzled his eyes.

Despite being young, he knew that to survive in this world, one still needed money.

Like him, penniless, three days of hunger nearly made his front stick to his back. Fortunately, kind people gave him some food, saving him from starvation.

Soon the Hua Family left in a carriage, but he didn’t follow it. Instead, he chose to stay quietly on one side, and sure enough, not long after, he saw several strange old men. However, those hands he had seen before, on the day Jin Xianchuan and those two women entered the Hua Residence, those hands were pretty, prettier than his mother’s.

"Gurgle..." At this moment, an odd sound came from his stomach, drawing Luo Qianqian’s gaze to Jin Miao’s abdomen, freezing for a moment.

"We can’t stay long. I’ll give you money to buy food, okay?"

Unexpectedly, Jin Miao shook his head decisively, stubbornly looking at Luo Qianqian, "I don’t want food, I want you!"

Luo Qianqian almost spat out blood. This child, does he even know what he’s saying at such a young age?

"We won’t stay in Gold Scale City." Luo Qianqian frowned slightly, taking out two large silver notes from her pocket: "This money is enough for you to live on, buy a house, and hire someone to take care of you, it should be enough until you can fend for yourself."

"I want to follow you." Jin Miao shook his head, stubbornly holding Luo Qianqian’s hand. Although he didn’t understand what had happened, he was sure this person did something, and that’s why Jin Xianchuan was taken away.

"But..."

"This is poison. If you want to follow her, swallow it." Mo calmly stepped forward, patting Luo Qianqian’s shoulder, indicating that she needn’t worry, handing over a black pill.

To everyone’s shock, Jin Miao grabbed the pill and swallowed it without hesitation, determination filling his eyes.

"Uh..." Mo was also filled with helplessness. This was indeed poison, but in some sense, it could also be considered a tonic... 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Seeing Jin Miao’s resoluteness, Luo Qianqian frowned deeply, stood up, and glanced toward the direction of Gold Scale City: "Forget it, let’s go first and deal with him later."

They couldn’t wait here to be suspected.

If Jin Xianchuan handed over the ’Heaven Chosen Pearl’ now, it wouldn’t be good for the whole world to be looking for Hua Nianyi...

After walking a distance, Luo Qianqian looked again at Jin Miao, who was clutching her dress tightly and had a face full of fear but also determination.

"Mo, what did you give him to eat? Undo the poison first, I don’t want to cost a life for this." Luo Qianqian looked at his pale face, her expression suddenly a bit unpleasant.

No matter what, she still couldn’t bring herself to be cruel to a child.

After all, she had younger siblings too.

Although her siblings should be suffering in the ’elite classes’ under the masters now.

Although not needing to take college entrance exams, there’s no doubt that they’re learning even more than at school... It’s more exhausting than having homework...
