The little cutie helped Hoshino Sakai board the carriage, signaled to the coachman and then lowered the curtain.
"go back."
"yes."
The coachman waved his horsewhip gently, and the carriage slowly merged into the crowd of pedestrians coming and going on the long street.
Rumeng watched the carriage go further and further away. When the carriage could no longer be seen, she sighed quietly, turned around and walked into Chunfeng Pavilion.
The cute little girl picked up a pot and poured a cup of herbal tea, then carefully handed it to Sakai Hoshino.
"Aunt Hoshino, you drink tea."
"Okay, thank you Yue'er."
"It's okay, it's okay. This is what Yue'er should do. Are you feeling uncomfortable, Aunt Hoshino? If you feel uncomfortable, Yue'er will have someone prepare sobering soup for you as soon as you get back."
Sakai Hoshino nodded and took a sip of tea. Seeing the little cutie's still worried eyes, he shook his head with a smile.
"Yue'er, don't worry, my aunt is really fine.
I'm sure I'll be a little dizzy after drinking so much wine, but there's nothing uncomfortable about it, so you don't have to worry about me."
When the little cutie heard Sakai Hoshino's words of relief, she raised her hand and patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Anyway, it was Yue'er who dragged you out to drink, Aunt Xingye. Yue'er must take care of your health.
As long as Aunt Hoshino is sure that nothing is wrong with you, Yue'er will feel relieved.
Otherwise, if I drink Aunt Hoshino out just to win such a small amount of money, Yue'er will feel guilty for the rest of her life."
"It's okay, it's okay. Drinking this much is not a big deal to me."
The little cutie nodded with a smile, reached out and took out a stack of folded banknotes and stuffed it into Sakai Hoshino's hand.
"Aunt Hoshino, we won a total of 18,750 taels of silver in today's opening.
These seven thousand taels of silver notes are yours, please keep them and don't lose them."
Sakai Hoshino looked down at the thick stack of banknotes in his hand, with a hint of doubt in his beautiful eyes.
"Seven thousand taels? It seems a bit much.
Yue'er, please wait a moment, I'll do the math first, and if there's too much, my aunt will return it to you."
The little cutie saw Sakai Hoshino trying to calculate something with her fingers, so she reached out and took her jade hands.
"Good aunt, a little more or less doesn't matter."
"No, no, the promised 30% will become 30%, and my aunt can't take advantage of you."
"How can you take advantage of me? Without your aunt's drinking ability, no matter how powerful Yue'er is, you wouldn't be able to earn so much money in one afternoon.
You deserve all this, and there is no need to make such a clear distinction between mother and daughter."
"this……"
"Good aunt, just keep it. The reason why we can win so much money is mostly due to you.
If you want 30% Yue'er, just give 30%, then Yue'er is too heartless."
"Okay, then my aunt won't be polite to you anymore. After my aunt wakes up, I will go to your house to find you.
Then, aunt, I will take you and your brothers and sisters for a walk around the streets and buy you some gifts."
"Okay, Yue'er is always waiting for your visit, Auntie."
Sakai Hoshino nodded with a smile and carefully put the banknote into his arms.
"Well, that's settled then."
When the little cutie saw Sakai Hoshino put away the banknotes, he suddenly reached out and poked her slender waist.
"Good aunt, tell the truth. Do you want to go to our house to find Yue'er? Or to find my father?"
Sakai Hoshino was about to serve tea when he suddenly paused and gave the little cutie a charming look with his beautiful eyes.
"Smelly girl, what are you talking about?"
"Are Yue'er talking nonsense? I don't know who was so distracted when seeing Yue'er's stinky father.
If there were no outsiders present, I would have pounced on him right away.
Alas, with my stinking old man’s virtue, he actually——
I can actually become your heart-stealer, Aunt Hoshino.
This is really blind to the sky!"
"Stinky girl, shut up and don't talk nonsense."
"What Yue'er said is true, Aunt Xingye, how dare you...hahaha...hahaha...
You actually tickled me, Yue'er will fight with you."
In the blink of an eye, the sound of Sakai Hoshino and the two laughing and joking could be heard in the carriage.
The driver heard the sweet laughter coming from the carriage behind him and immediately fastened the hook on the curtain to the lock of the carriage frame.
After about half a stick of incense, the carriage slowly stopped outside the gate of Liu Mansion.
The coachman jumped out of the carriage and reached out to knock on the carriage compartment where whispers were still coming from.
"Miss, we are home."
The whispers in the car suddenly stopped, and the little cutie lifted the fabric on the window and stuck her head out.
When the little cutie saw the gate of Liu Mansion, she flicked her finger on the coachman's forehead.
"Si Lan'er, why did you come back to our house?"
The driver looked at the little cutie pitifully, covered his head and pouted his lips.
"Miss, you only told the slave to go back outside the gate of Chunfeng Pavilion, and you didn't tell Lan'er whether to go back to our house or Honglu Temple.
Lan'er thought you meant to go back to our house, so she had no choice but to drive the carriage back to our house."
"Little fool, of course I have to go to Honglu Temple to see Aunt Hoshino off first."
Lan'er nodded hurriedly, grabbed the riding whip and jumped back into the carriage.
"Oh, Lan'er knows that she was wrong. Miss, don't be angry. I will drive to Honglu Temple right now."
As soon as Lan'er jumped on the carriage, Young Master Liu's questioning voice came from beside her.
"Lan'er? Why are you disguising yourself as a man? Where's Yue'er? What are you doing again?"
"Old...Master, your servant Lan'er is here to meet you, Master."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Lan'er who slowly jumped out of the carriage to salute him, and waved his hand casually.
"Little girl, how many times have I told you that even if I have established my own business, as long as my old man is still here, I will still be the eldest son of the Liu family."
"Yes, yes, young master, I know I was wrong."
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Master."
"Where's Yue'er? What are you doing?"
Lan'er's face panicked, and she subconsciously glanced at the carriage beside her.
"We, we."
Seeing Lan'er hesitate to speak, Liu Mingzhi walked to the carriage with a slight frown and opened the curtain of the carriage.
The moment the car curtain was lifted, Young Master Liu saw the little cutie scratching his brow and smiling sullenly.

"Daddy, hello."
Mr. Liu's gaze directly passed over the little cutie, and looked at the corner of the carriage where he was huddled with a strange expression.
Sakai Hoshino who wanted to escape but couldn't.
Looking at Sakai Hoshino, who was pretending to be a man like Little Cutie and Lan'er, their master and servant, Mr. Liu instinctively frowned.
"Hoshino? Why are you dressed like a woman disguised as a man?"
When Sakai Hoshino saw that Young Master Liu had already seen him, he waved his hand with a slightly nervous look on his face.
"Liu...Mr. Liu."
Liu Mingzhi was about to speak when he suddenly smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
"Why is there such a strong smell of alcohol in the carriage? What on earth did you three do?"
"Liu Jun, I, I, I!"
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, closed the folding fan in his hand and walked directly towards the mansion.
"Let's get down and let's talk about it when we get home."
