Xiao Yu'er: Brother Mubai Is the Best! I'll Marry Him When I Grow Up!

"Could it be... because of my younger brother?"

Because Zhao Yuzhen was older than Li Mubai, she called Li Mubai "little brother".

Now.

Looking at the yellow Xuan paper notice posted on the wall.

A flash of inspiration struck the beautiful woman; everything connected, forming a complete line of memory.

She suddenly realized.

The reason these people suddenly became so respectful is entirely thanks to Li Mubai!

To borrow the tiger's power and rely on one's backer.

These people,

Everyone suspects that she has a powerful backer.

That's why it's like this!

That makes sense.

The situation was critical last night.

Those thugs were very loud, so many residents must have been paying attention to this.

Of course, he also overheard her conversation with Li Mubai.

Especially the way Li Mubai addressed her, Sister Zhao!

This is the real reason why these people are behaving themselves and no longer teasing her.

She was a newcomer to the area.

Because the tofu was made so well, it took away business from several other families, which caused them to feel resentful.

So you can always hear rumors and gossip about her.

Regarding what these people said...

Her usual approach is to be tolerant in order to avoid causing trouble.

She endured humiliation and hardship for Xiao Yu'er's safety.

When faced with malicious sarcasm, she chooses to avoid it, pretend not to hear it, or simply laugh it off.

I never expected this.

What happened last night should have been a crisis.

In the end, however, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

From this day forward, she has truly established herself in Jingxi Street and in Spirit City!

"Little brother, I really have to thank you!"

The beautiful woman wore a faint smile, her heart filled with gratitude.

Then, amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd, he carried Xiao Yu'er away.

"Mom, why are that usually fierce aunt and uncle so polite to us today?"

In a simple home.

Xiao Yu'er stared at her mother with her big, innocent eyes, asking in confusion.

She is still young.

That little brain just couldn't figure it out no matter how hard it tried.

On ordinary days.

The older women and men were clearly looking at her and her mother with eyes that seemed to want to devour them.

But why, at this moment, have these people suddenly become so kind?

Especially one of the older women.

He used to call her "little bastard," but just now he greeted her with a kind smile and called her "little darling."

And the beautiful woman.

They are busy grinding grain right now.

She scooped the soaked soybeans into the millstone while simultaneously grinding them into raw soy milk.

Hearing her daughter, who was sitting on the stool, ask a question, the beautiful woman stopped what she was doing, and a kind look appeared in her bright eyes:

"Because... those people are afraid of us now."

The little girl doesn't seek to understand things deeply:

Why are those people afraid of me and my mother? Are we that scary?

The beautiful woman smiled smugly:

"Of course we're not scary, but... they're afraid of you, Brother Mubai."

"But... Brother Mubai is such a good person, he's not a bad person, he even bought candy for Yu'er, he's not scary at all!"

The little girl blinked, staring blankly, still looking confused.

"Xiao Yu'er will understand these things when she grows up."

The beautiful woman stopped what she was doing and then took a handkerchief to dry her hands.

Then, he strolled over to the little girl's side.

She raised her hand and gently patted the little girl's head, earnestly instructing her:

"Yu'er, don't forget this when you grow up. If it weren't for your brother Mubai last night, you and your mother would never have seen each other again. Brother Mubai has done us a great favor, you must remember that, understand?"

The little girl nodded firmly.

Her small face was also full of sincerity as she said:

"Yu'er will never forget! Brother Mubai taught Yu'er to read and recite, and now Yu'er can even recognize the words on the shop signs outside. Yu'er is so grateful to Brother Mubai."

"When I grow up, I'll marry Brother Mubai and become his wife!"

The beautiful woman looked pleased and said indulgently:

"Hmm, Yu'er is such a good girl!"

"Then you stay here obediently and wait for Mommy to finish grinding the tofu. Later, I'll take you out to buy candied hawthorns, okay?"

As for the last sentence...

She dismissed it as childish banter and didn't take it seriously.

Upon hearing this,

Xiao Yu'er happily agreed:

"Okay!"

Children have no resistance to candied hawthorn berries.

Seeing this.

The beautiful woman nodded in satisfaction, then went back to the millstone, washed her hands with clean water, and continued working.

At that time and at that moment.

Inside the magnificent Pope's Grand Hall.

Bibi Dong sat on a golden and glazed throne, a symbol of the center of power.

At this very moment.

Her face was solemn, yet her cool and aloof features revealed a captivating charm that made her breathtakingly beautiful.

"Someone come here."

A cold, clear voice echoed in the empty hall.

It was just a casual remark, but the voice was incredibly penetrating, carrying directly outside the main hall.

Soon.

A guard dressed in silver armor entered the main hall.

Upon entering the main hall, the guard immediately knelt on one knee and waited silently for instructions.

"You personally lead a team to the City Guard Office and arrest everyone on the list provided by the person in charge there."

"Then they were put into prison carts and paraded through the streets as a warning to others."

"At noon, bring them all to the Spirit Hall and behead them as a warning to the public!"

Bibi Dong's expression was solemn and dignified.

It's easy to tell from her tone that she takes this matter very seriously.

"Promise!"

A strong, resonant voice came from the guard's mouth.

Just this one word.

The guard stood up, bowed slightly, and slowly took a few steps back before turning and striding away quickly.

He had just sensed from Bibi Dong's tone how important this matter was to her.

Therefore, he needs to hurry and get this done.

Seeing the guards leave.

Bibi Dong then slowly stood up and looked out of the main hall.

Outside the main hall, the sun shone brightly, like a blooming flower.

The reason she ordered the guards to act this way was to make an example of them.

Otherwise.

She wouldn't need to parade those corrupt officials through the streets and then behead them at the entrance of the Spirit Hall.

Do this.

The purpose is to serve as a warning.

Let those who cannot be found out stop their misdeeds.

She did not intend to search every member of the Spirit Hall, from top to bottom, inside and out.

Do that.

This is detrimental to the development of the Spirit Hall and could very likely cause instability within it.

This was not the outcome she wanted to see.

The rampant corruption among the mid-level core members of the Spirit Hall has become a major constraint on the Spirit Hall's development.

This is an important piece of information obtained through a conversation with Li Mubai.

It was that conversation.

This made her determined to change the current situation facing the Spirit Hall.

This will allow the Spirit Hall to return to its normal upward trajectory.

Gazing outside the palace, Bibi Dong's eyes were deep, but she was secretly pondering:

"This incident may serve as a temporary warning, making those below him more cautious for a while."

"But this is by no means a long-term solution."

"It seems we need to establish a supervisory body that is directly responsible to me."

"Let's discuss this matter at the next meeting. After all, it's of great importance, and we need the approval and support of the Worship Hall."
