Lu Ze looked at the filthy Lingling with disdain and handed her to Lu Yun. "Lu Yun, why did you teach Lingling to climb through a dog hole? And isn't this dog hole sealed?"
Lu Yun said, "I demolished it again. Why seal this dog hole? This is great. It will be closer for Lingling to go back to her uncle's house in the future."
Lu Ze frowned.
Lingling said in a baby voice, "Hello, uncle."
Lu Yun kissed Lingling on the side of her cheek, "Lingling is so good."
Qi Yuning looked at the dog hole in front of them and called Lu Ze aside. "Lingling, who was over three years old when she first came here, knew about this dog hole. But the little Lingling we saw in the mist before had never walked through this dog hole."
Lu Ze asked, "So, the three-year-old Xiao Lingling who came back earlier is the Xiao Lingling of today?"
Qi Yuning looked at the dirty Lingling in Lu Yun's arms. It was exactly the little Lingling in her memory, even the small scar on her forehead after the fall was exactly the same.
Han Ge'er and Yuan Ge'er hit it off right away and could play together better. Yuan Ge'er was healthy and chubby, while Han Ge'er was thin. Yuan Ge, who looked a few months younger, looked more like an older brother.
After the two boys, Han Ge'er and Yuan Ge'er, played together, they were no longer willing to bring Lingling to play with them.
Lingling felt very aggrieved about this, "I don't want my cousin, I don't want Brother Han, I want my little uncle."
Qi Yuning hugged Lingling and chuckled, "Okay, if you want little uncle, tomorrow I'll ask your father to take you to the palace to find little uncle."
Qi Yuning finally understood why Lingling seldom talked about Brother Han and her cousin when she returned to the past. It was because Brother Han and her cousin both disliked her because she was too young and refused to play with her.
Only the uncle truly dotes on Lingling.
In September, on Lingling's third birthday, Zhao Jie gave Lingling his most treasured set of ceramic ponies.
Qi Yuning took out the ceramic pony that Zhao Jie had given to Lingling in the imperial mausoleum.
After a few years, the ceramic pony had already gathered dust. Qi Yuning also saw a small wooden sword beside it, which was Xiao Lingling's favorite toy.
Seeing Qi Yuning sorting Lingling's old toys, Lu Ze said, "Aren't these the toys the old Lingling used to play with? This wooden sword was Lingling's favorite. Why not give it to the current Lingling?"
Qi Yuning said, "Don't give it to Lingling yet. Let's wait until after the Lantern Festival next year. If the Lingling who goes back in the Yichou year is really the one we have now, she will remember this little wooden sword when she comes back..."
Qi Yuning stroked the small wooden sword and said, "I'm just worried that Lingling might not come back."
Lu Ze held Qi Yuning's hand tightly and said, "How could you not come back? You will definitely come back safely!"
