Chapter 104 Fifth Brother, Are You Crying Because of Greed?
Bai Ruian led Li Suining carefully along the way and soon arrived at the door leading to the front hall.
"Shh!" The little fat boy turned around and gestured to his sister. The noise in front could be heard from here. It was obvious that the front hall was very lively at this time.
He lowered his voice and told the little girl, "Sister, we will lie down at the door and take a look from a distance to see how arrogant the prime minister's son is. That way, we will stay away from him next time we see him."
"Okay!" The little dumpling looked so cute as he moved so quietly.
Bai Ruian was so cute that he laughed foolishly, then ran to the door first, showing his chubby head and looking not far away.
Soon, a small round head appeared from under his fat head, looking inside with the same curiosity.
At this time, the prime minister's legitimate son was obviously surrounded. They could only faintly hear the other party crying, but could not see what he looked like.
The little dumpling frowned and muttered in confusion, "Strange, why does this voice sound so familiar?"
"Really?" Bai Rui'an didn't pay much attention. "I guess all children's cries sound similar."
In the crowd, Lin Qingxuan was really enlightened today. He had never thought that the legitimate son found by the Prime Minister's Mansion would be so naughty. He heard that Zuo Shanzhang still treated this little bastard as a treasure. He couldn't help but think that, at about the same age, this little bastard was not even one ten-thousandth as good as his sister Sui Ning.
He didn't want to waste any more time with this unreasonable guy, so he looked at Zuo Jiali coldly and said, "Zuo Er, take your precious brother away quickly. Our Marquis Mansion Temple is too small to accommodate the giant Buddha from your Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Please forgive me, Your Highness." Zuo Jiali could no longer stay. "My brother is still young and naive. Please bear with me if I have offended him."
As he said this, he picked up the still crying Zuo Wen'an and strode out.
The crowd quickly dispersed.
When Bai Ruian saw someone coming out, his eyes widened instantly. From a distance, he felt that the other person looked familiar, so he rubbed his eyes hard.
"Fifth brother," Little Dumpling was the first to recognize him. He couldn't help but run out, pointing with his little hand, and exclaimed in surprise, "Fifth brother, the person that Second Brother Left is carrying is Li Changan!"
Bai Ruian also remembered that he had indeed seen that child, and the person following them was Qian!
He quickly stood behind his sister, protecting her with his chubby hands, but his mind was racing. What he didn't understand was why Qian and Li Changan were hanging out with Zuo Jiali, and... Zuo Jiali, that arrogant and rude guy, was actually... carrying Li Changan?
Unless... combining today's series of information, and the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's Mansion that Lin Qingxuan mentioned... Bai Ruian vaguely guessed an incredible answer. Could it be that... Li Changan is the legitimate son who was found?
But how is that possible? Isn't Li Changan Li Tianfu's son?
But Li Suining...
"Fifth brother," Little Dumpling turned around and looked at Bai Ruian in confusion, "Why are Li Changan and Qian with the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Bai Rui'an was so shocked by the idea that just popped up that he broke out in a sweat. He quickly explained vaguely, "I think he knows her. You don't know the guy second from the left. He's just making some shady friends."
At this time, Lin Qingxuan came back and saw the brother and sister. He smiled and asked, "Why did you come out? It's a pity that you came out too late. The Prime Minister's Mansion..."
"Brother Prince!" Bai Ruian quickly interrupted Lin Qingxuan. He felt that he was so anxious that he started to sweat.
He wiped the sweat off his face, then pulled up the little boy and said with a dry laugh, "Brother Prince, I'm really sorry. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home, so I have to go back to the general's mansion immediately."
"Ah?" Lin Qingxuan was obviously startled.
Bai Ruian didn't say anything and hurriedly pulled Li Suining out.
"Fifth brother, come on, what's going on at home?" Lin Qingxuan immediately chased after him. "My main meal hasn't even started yet, but my uncle has gifted me with a lot of goodies. And the Crown Prince, since he's not here yet, has sent me a lot of delicacies from the Western Regions. You must try them."
"No!" Bai Ruian kept walking and swallowed hard, "Brother Prince, we really have to go back. Another day, another day I'll bring my sister here."
He walked faster and faster, obviously having made up his mind.
Lin Qingxuan chased to the door, knowing that he couldn't force it, so he shouted at the top of his voice, "Okay, Fifth Brother, Sister Sui Ning, if you have anything to do, go back first. I'll send someone to bring you some delicious food to the General's Mansion later."
The little girl was dragged along and trotted all the way. After hearing this, she did not forget to turn around and thank him, "Thank you, brother Prince. I will come to see you another day."
Finally getting on the carriage, Bai Ruian was panting. He suddenly felt that it was right for his fourth brother not to come, otherwise... it would cause a big disaster, but...
He looked at the little girl sitting next to him with an uneasy look. "Could my sister really be the Prime Minister's child?" Then... would my sister leave the General's Mansion?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have red eyes and tears fell uncontrollably.
"Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?" Little Dumpling was frightened and immediately became flustered. "Fifth brother, are you really craving those delicacies that the prince brother mentioned? Are you crying because of your greed?"
Bai Ruian was so embarrassed that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He simply hugged Li Suining and cried while saying, "Yes, Fifth Brother is too greedy and wants to eat it too much."
But what he was thinking in his heart was that as long as his sister stayed in the general's mansion, he could go without eating meat for the rest of his life.
He doesn't want his sister to leave.
Bai Ruian's tears didn't stop until he returned to the general's mansion. He thought that he might have been overthinking it. How could things in the world be so coincidental?
So, he returned to his yard in a daze, and when You Zhu came back from school, he immediately went to find You Zhu.
"What's wrong with you?" You Zhu frowned when he saw Bai Ruian's expression. In his impression, this fifth brother was extremely smart and laughed all day long, as if he never had any worries.
He crossed his arms and scoffed, "Could it be because Dad caught me skipping class today?"
"Sixth brother, do you still remember?" Bai Ruian was in no mood to joke. He lowered his voice and said, "The day my eldest brother came back before the New Year, he said that the Prime Minister's legitimate son had been found."
You Zhu instantly became alert, "Why are you asking this?"
"There's something, I don't know if I'm overthinking it," Bai Ruian said, looking tearful as he mentioned it. "I went to Lin Shizi's birthday party today, and saw Zuo Er... I saw Zuo Er's brother, Li Chang'an, and Qian Shi together..."
"You went to the Ding'an Marquis' Mansion?" You Zhu grabbed Lao Wu by the collar. "Did you go there alone?"
Bai Ruian was already scared, and seeing him like this, he became even more frightened. He stammered, "I... I'm with my sister..."
