Everyone says the General's Mansion is bustling with descendants yet plagued by endless misfortune, and yet they picked up a "money-loser" and treat her like a treasure.
Just as t...
Chapter 95 The Third Young Master Obviously Just Lied
Li Suining stood in the yard, looking at the stars intently. After looking for a while, she sighed with some disappointment.
In fact, these days, she would ask Xingxing almost every day whether Aunt Xingxing Beauty often went back to visit Grandpa Jiang, but it was obvious that Aunt Xingxing Beauty had not been back recently since the father and daughter met that day.
She puffed her cheeks in frustration, wondering if they had quarreled again.
She couldn't help but shake her little head. Adults nowadays... are really worrying.
However, in the next few days, the same thing happened almost every day, and Aunt Meiren never went to see Grandpa Jiang again.
That day, Xiaotuanzi couldn't sit still anymore, so he ran to Jiang's house and asked Jiang Heci in person.
"Grandpa Jiang, why hasn't Aunt Mei come here recently?" She asked with a worried look on her face as she sat opposite the desk.
Jiang Heci glanced at this guy. It had been seven or eight days since Jiang Yinyue came back last time. He didn't expect that the little guy actually knew that Jiang Yinyue had not come back.
He knew that this dumpling was just worrying for nothing, but how could the problem between him and his daughter be solved by just a dumpling?
"You're still young, you don't understand." Jiang Heci acted as if there was nothing wrong with this. "How can a married woman always go back to her parents' home?"
He lowered his eyes to look at the little girl and asked seriously, "Take your general's mansion for example, does your mother always go back to her parents' home?"
"It seems... not." Li Suining's eyes lit up instantly. "So, you and Aunt Meiren have reconciled?"
"Yeah." Jiang Heci continued reading, lying to the little girl without leaving any trace. "There's no such thing as overnight hatred between parents and children. You don't have to worry about it."
He couldn't help but look at her with a smile, "You, you are just a four-year-old little girl, and you are still learning to worry about other people's affairs like adults. When you grow up..."
He couldn't help but tut a few times and shook his head, "It's terrible, be careful or your hair will turn white like mine soon."
"Hehe..." Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the little girl was not afraid at all. She covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "It's okay, Grandpa Jiang, I like your hair. Your hair is white and colorful, so beautiful."
Jiang Heci was instantly at a loss for words, "I'm really defeated by you, this little idiot."
"Grandpa Jiang, since Aunt Meiren is too busy and has no time to visit you, I can come to play with you often like before, okay?" Little Dumpling said excitedly.
The old master pretended to be disgusted and said, "Okay, come if you want, but don't come too often, otherwise, I won't be able to do any real work."
As he spoke, he began to list Li Suining's crimes, "Look, I originally planned to finish this book in seven days, but now it's been half a month, and I've only read the beginning."
Li Suining was furious, his chubby hands on his waist. "Grandpa Jiang, stop accusing me. I haven't bothered you in the past seven days, and you haven't been reading. You've been hanging around the gate every day, obviously waiting for Auntie Beauty to come."
"..." Jiang Heci was speechless, but now he couldn't tell whether the one he was looking forward to every day was his daughter or the dumpling in front of him.
He laughed and said, "Okay, I'm just lazy and don't like reading, okay?"
The old man and the child soon got together again, and the old tutor began to teach the little Tuanzi how to play chess, but the little Tuanzi was obviously too young and didn't even recognize the words on the chess pieces.
Jiang Heci taught for a whole day, but Li Suining still didn't learn it.
In the evening, Xiaotuanzi was ready to go back, "Grandpa Jiang, let's play chess together next time."
"..." Jiang Heci quickly waved his hand, secretly hoping that when Xiaotuanzi came again, he would have forgotten about playing chess.
Li Suining took a carriage back to the General's Mansion. When he got off, Caiyue suddenly exclaimed, "Is that the Third Young Master?"
Little Tuanzi followed Caiyue's gaze and saw that his third brother was not far away. It seemed that his brother Qingyun was there too, and both of them looked solemn.
Soon, Xiao Wu also noticed her and waved his hand to let Qingyun leave.
"Third brother!" Li Suining ran forward happily and asked in a low voice, "Was that Brother Qingyun just now? Do you guys... have anything important to do?"
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, then quickly said with an evasive look, "No."
"Oh." Little Dumpling didn't think much about it.
After entering the general's mansion, Xiao Wu quickly returned to his own courtyard.
Caiyue lowered her voice to remind Li Suining, "Seventh Miss, the Third Young Master was clearly lying just now."
"Really?" Li Suining was slightly surprised, not quite understanding why his third brother would lie to him.
Caiyue touched her chin and said seriously, "Based on my experience, the Third Young Master will definitely have something important to do tomorrow..."
Seeing that the little girl seemed a little disappointed, she immediately added, "But Miss Seven, don't be sad. The Third Young Master didn't tell you because he was afraid you would worry."
Little Dumpling blinked her big round eyes. She wanted to help her third brother.
So, when the stars came out at night, she immediately ran to the yard, wanting to know what her third brother was going to do the next day.
However, when Xingxing told her everything, her expression became obviously more serious at first, and she seemed a little sad, but soon, her face was filled with horror again.
"Sister?" At this time, Bai Ruian and You Zhu came over together, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Suining quickly wiped away the tears in her eyes and shook her head vigorously, "Fifth brother, Sixth brother, I'm fine."
She yawned and said, "Fifth brother, Sixth brother, I'm sleepy. I'm going back to sleep first."
The little guy ran away without looking back.
Bai Ruian and You Zhu looked at each other, obviously realizing that something was wrong with this guy. Thinking of what Li Suining had just seen looking at the stars, they guessed that something bad was going to happen.
"But if something happened, why didn't my sister tell us?" Bai Ruian was a little confused.
You Zhu was equally puzzled. "Maybe... she would ask someone else for help? For example... Xiao Wu?"
"That's possible." Bai Ruian nodded, still feeling a little uneasy.
That night, Xiao Wu hardly slept a wink. He sat by the window, looking outside quietly.
He didn't know whether his decision was right or not, but it was almost the best solution he could think of at the moment.
He knew that the outcome of this matter might be that he would have to leave home for some time, or perhaps... Bai Yunfeng and the others would never forgive him in their entire lives, but as he had said at the beginning, he must protect the General's Mansion at all costs.
Finally, daybreak came, and Xiao Wu knew that his plan had begun to be implemented and he had no chance to regret.
He waited for a long time, and after making sure that everyone had finished breakfast, he moved his wheelchair and headed towards Qinxin Garden.
