"You and I know about this, but my father doesn't. If my father knew that I took the cat, he would definitely think that one of us was a traitor."
"Even if we have four mouths, we still won't be able to explain it clearly. So no one is allowed to speak. Yours, understand?"
On the return carriage, Li Shengyi checked himself for the third time to see if there was any cat hair on his body.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, she glanced at Meng Jiuan again.
The latter saw her looking at him, his mouth drooped, and he said, "Look at what I'm doing. I won't say anything nonsense."
"Besides, Qin Yuanqing is a prime minister after all. As the old saying goes, a prime minister's stomach can hold a boat, and a general's forehead can hold a horse."
"The kitten I keep in my house needs to be bathed and burned with incense every now and then, so how could it be dirty?"
His muttering made Shen Wangchen clench his fist to his lips and cough lightly, “The master is indeed tolerant of the young lady, but for you…”
When Meng Jiuan heard what Shen Wangchen said, he immediately glared at him, "What do you know? The friendship between Yuan Qing and I can't be destroyed by a few kittens!!!"
Shen Wangchen didn't continue talking, but just moved his seat to the side. If the carriage wasn't too small, he would have wanted to sit far away from him.
Meng Jiuan saw this scene and became even more angry.
When the carriage finally stopped at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the words spoken by the coachman outside the carriage made Li Shengyi's breathing pause for a moment.
Before getting off the carriage, she turned around and looked at the two people in the carriage as she walked to the front. "Remember what I just said!"
Seeing the two of them nodding their heads in agreement, she finally got off the carriage with peace of mind.
The snow in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion had been cleared, but the road surface was prone to icing in winter. After seeing the dark green figure standing at the gate like a green pine, Li Shengyi no longer rushed towards the figure directly as he did before.
"Daddy, I'm back!"
When the little girl's figure gradually approached the door, Qin Songmo heard the crisp sound coming out of her mouth. His frown relaxed a little, and he bent down and hugged his little daughter who had come to him into his arms.
"Did you go to the General's Mansion to play with the cat?"
Li Shengyi subconsciously stretched out his hands to hug the man's neck.
As a result, just as she stretched out her hand, she heard a man's flat voice in her ear.
The small body grew stiff.
Li Shengyi turned his head to look at Meng Jiuan and the other two who were following behind him. The latter hurriedly shook their heads when they saw him.
"No one told me there wasn't much fun to do in the General's Mansion. The only things that could keep you here were those three or two kittens."
"Kittens are fun?"
The man's deep voice sounded in my ears.
His dark pupils scanned the whole body of his little daughter in his arms. When he saw the white cat hair on her shoulder, his sword-like brows slightly frowned, and he stretched out his slender fingers to pinch the cat hair.
Li Shengyi was already feeling guilty, and when she saw him stretch out his hand in front of her, she subconsciously closed her eyes, and her eyelashes kept fluttering, which showed that she was very nervous at the moment.
The expected pain from having my cheek pinched did not come.
Instead, that cold and deep voice sounded in her ears again.
"Now that you know you're scared, what were you doing before?"
Qin Songmo frowned and threw away the cat hair. When he turned his head to look at his friend beside him, there was a hint of affection between his eyebrows. Although there was no emotion in his eyes, Meng Jiuan and the others still weakened their legs.
Especially Meng Jiuan, he had planned to trick his future daughter to go to his house to play.
Now that his plan had succeeded, apart from the initial smugness and joy, he was now filled with nothing but regret.
I should have reported it earlier.
If he had reported it earlier, he wouldn't be so nervous because of guilty conscience.
Unfortunately, he was a general, and at that moment, there happened to be a few civilians passing by the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If he begged for mercy from the person in front of him at this time, he didn't know how the people would accuse him in the future.
Gritting his teeth and meeting his friend's indifferent gaze, Meng Jiuan bared his teeth and said with an awkward smile, "Yuanqing, it's cold outside. Let's talk inside."
It was indeed cold outside. I don’t know how long Qin Songmo had been standing there. His cheeks, which were already pale to begin with, had already turned pale from the cold.
Li Shengyi was curled up in his arms at this moment, and could not feel any warmth in his arms.
It was as if the person holding her was not a person, but a corpse.
After tugging at the corner of the man's clothes, I heard him say, "Yes, Daddy, it's cold outside, let's go in."
Since his little daughter said so, Qin Songmo had no choice but to listen.
Glancing at his friend who was giving him a flattering smile, he opened his pale, thin lips and asked, "Have you completed the task that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entrusted to the Dali Temple last time?"
Meng Jiuan paused when he heard this.
Frowning and shaking his head, he raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, "Should everything be done? Otherwise, should I go to the Dali Temple and take a look?"
On Yun Bixian's birthday, the prince was almost framed, and then Qin Songmo was taken to a small building full of singing girls.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is determined to find out the truth about this matter. Although some time has passed since the incident, there has been no progress at all.
Qin Songmo nodded slightly, "Go ahead, don't come back if you can't find out."
If Meng Jiuan couldn't understand the meaning behind these words, then he would have been with Qin Songmo for so many years in vain.
But what's the use of understanding it? Today he deliberately coaxed Li Shengyi to go to his house and even gave Li Shengyi a kitten.
Knowing that Qin Songmo has mysophobia.
Someone patted his shoulder, and Meng Jiuan turned around with a dejected look on his face.
Seeing Shen Wangchen looking at him with sympathy, he immediately restrained his aura and glared at him, "What are you looking at? What's so good about it!"
Shen Wangchen shook his head and sighed, “Investigate the case as soon as possible, otherwise…”
"I'm going to be the young lady's second daddy."
When he said this, the helpless expression on Shen Wangchen's face suddenly turned into a smile, which made Meng Jiuan stunned.
It was not until Shen Wangchen's back completely disappeared around the corner and could no longer be seen that Meng Jiuan recovered from what he had just said.
He almost wanted to bite his back teeth off. To vent his anger, he raised his fist as big as a sandbag and punched the vermilion door beside him.
Seeing the fist mark on the door, he was so scared that he looked around. When he saw that there was no one around, he turned around and left in a hurry.
Damn it! He should check the almanac more often before going out recently.
Otherwise, why would I keep running into these bad lucks!
Not only was he bullied by his best friend, but he was also about to lose his position as the second father of his future little daughter!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Meng Jiuan walked faster.
He must get rid of Yun Bixian as soon as possible, otherwise he will never have the chance to get close to Little Radish Head and become her second father!
Having made up his mind, Meng Jiuan took a deep breath and rode his horse towards the Dali Temple without caring that the sky above his head was gradually getting dark.
This time, he will take back everything that belongs to him!
