In the west chamber, Xiao Hen was organizing the chaos that Little Jingkong had created. Ever since he mentioned that he had an even bigger surprise for Gu Jiao, the little guy was convinced that his surprise was hidden within the room.
The little guy had rummaged through boxes and cabinets, flipping them inside out, but never putting anything back himself.
This habit had been pointed out several times by the family, and of course, he always responded well verbally, but would either forget as soon as he turned his head or, if he didn't forget, his efforts at tidying up were as good as nothing.
It always ended up being either Xiao Hen or Gu Jiao who had to reorganize everything all over again.
Absorbed in cleaning, Xiao Hen was unaware that Marquis Gu had come to the house and was even less aware that Marquis Gu had been bullied by his own chickens.
"Brother-in-law."
A soft, cautious, and slightly cheerful call suddenly came from the doorway.
