Knowing that there would be leftover oil to eat at noon, the whole family went energetically to work in the fields.
Ma Xiulian picked up Helian Qiao and took her back to the room, had her sit on the edge of the bed, crouched down to look her in the eye, and admonished earnestly, "Guibao, you can’t tell anyone about the ginseng."
"Why?" Helian Qiao asked innocently, her big, shiny eyes wide open.
The Dragon Clan had never been afraid of their own kind eyeing their possessions. If they were strong enough, they could keep it; if they lost it, they would practice harder, aiming to take it back next time.
So, the Little Princess had no idea how complex the human mind could be, and how tangled family relationships could get.
If certain people knew, they would want to sell the ginseng, exchange it for money, and divide the proceeds.
Ma Xiulian paused. She had intended to tell the truth, but Chen Jianjun, who came in just after her, preempted her and said, "Because it’s a surprise! If others knew about it, they might secretly tell Gu Tingyun, and then there would be no surprise."
Looking at Guibao sitting innocently on the edge of the bed, swinging her little legs, her eyes filled with the pure innocence of a blank sheet of paper, his heart softened considerably.
