February was the time when the grass grew and the birds flew.

In the simplest building in Muzhang County's town hall, maidservant, Xiaotao, was holding onto a brocade bag in her hands. Her face showed surprise; she was no more than thirteen years old, and her face that had just grown up was filled with incredulity.

"Miss, this is the money you've saved for the past few years!" Xiaotao tightly gripped the silk bag in her hand and stared blankly at the six-year-old girl in front of her. This was not the usual style of a young lady; these silver coins were more important than her life.

Lee Miaoyin blinked her clear black and white phoenix eyes, smiled and said, "Sister Tao, I trust you, and I also trust your father. Take this silver and let your father rent the Return of Spring Hall on South Street."

Although Xiaotao was slightly surprised, she quickly calmed down. Lee Miaoyin might be young, but she had always kept her word. In front of outsiders, she was just like an ordinary six year old child, nothing special.

If his father were to rent out the Return of Spring Hall, it would mean that he would become the head storekeeper. She looked at Lee Miaoyin and saw her smiling face and slightly nodded at her. The two of them had known each other for many years and shared the same thoughts, so she naturally understood the meaning of this nod. At that moment, her eyes burned with passion and tears welled up in her eyes, and the Miss knew that her family was in a difficult situation, her father was weak, her mother was sick, she could not do heavy work in the fields, she did not have the money to do business, and she could only rely on her meager monthly money to live and suffer unspeakably.

Lee Miaoyin stood up. Her pink plum blossom coat was wrapping around her petite body, making her look more and more adorable. Her face was filled with the expression of a talented person, and her undeveloped apple face was comical. Before Lee Miaoyin could say anything to comfort her, Xiaotao burst out laughing when she saw her look.

Lee Miaoyin glared at her and pretended to be angry. "Bad Peach, are you still not going to help me with something?"

Xiaotao resisted the urge to laugh and turned to look at Lee Miaoyin. "Yes, I will go right away!" After she said that, she stuffed the embroidered bag back into her pocket and ran out the door, grinning.

Lee Miaoyin slightly shook her head, looking at the cute and exquisite little girl in the bronze mirror, and sighed, "Little Miaoyin, can you grow up faster?"

She was the direct daughter of Second Miss from the Lee Family and Lee Chengji from County Magistrate. Lee Miaoyin was from the Modern Realm.

As soon as Xiaotao left, maidservant, who was wearing a green jacket, walked into Lee Miaoyin's shack.

"Second Miss, Master invites you to the lobby." maidservant glanced at Lee Miaoyin's residence with her watery eyes. Her face showed a contemptuous expression. A dignified young miss actually lived in a room that was even inferior to a room. Look at her clothes; it was the young miss's worn-out old clothes.

Lee Miaoyin did not have a good impression of Xiao Cui. What kind of master did she have, what kind of servant could a woman like Yang Suyun bring up?

Lee Miaoyin opened her eyes and did not look at the annoying face as she asked in a light voice, "Did father say anything?"

Xiao Cui looked a little impatient, but she did her best to suppress it. It was different today, "Master Mo, you are here, the old master said." Without waiting for Xiao Cui to finish speaking, Lee Miaoyin rushed out of the room towards the front hall.

He hated that his arms and legs were too short to run too fast. Third Uncle hadn't been here for a few days, and coincidentally, he didn't have any private money left. Third Uncle was giving him carbon in the snow.

Inside the main hall, Mo Family Third Young Master, Mo Baize, was quietly sitting at a guest seat in the front hall, the teacups by his side were still warm, and wearing a dark blue brocade jacket with a narrow waist, coupled with that handsome young master's face, he was truly rich and imposing. With a smile on his face and a faint expression, he swept his gaze over to Yang Suyun and her daughter who were seated opposite him, then turned to look at the door of the hall, wondering if that small figure had grown taller.
