Chapter 119 Don’t You Want Your Mother?
Wei Ranzhu watched Bai Yu'an leave, then returned to his Bai Yunfeng identity and asked tentatively, "Do you think Sui Ning knows about this matter?"
"This..." Bai Yunfeng had never thought about this matter before, but when he thought about it now, the color on his face disappeared little by little.
Wei Ranzhu looked at her husband's reaction and understood it in an instant, covering her mouth in disbelief.
Bai Yunfeng's face was pale as he spoke slowly, "That child... didn't say a word on the way back. She was so quiet. I... I didn't even notice anything unusual at the time. She... she must have thought of something."
His eyes instantly turned red, and he grabbed his wife's hand. "What should we do? Will she... want to return to her biological parents? But... but can Zuo Shanzhang be a good father? And Jiang Yinyue... she can't even take care of herself, can she take care of Suining?"
"Yunfeng! Yunfeng, don't be anxious." Wei Ranzhu forced himself to calm down. "Let's find a chance to ask Sui Ning's opinion first. We can arrange other matters slowly."
Bai Yunfeng felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought about his daughter leaving. He hugged his wife tightly and said in a choked voice, "I... I don't want to send her away, I don't want to..."
"I know, I know." Wei Ranzhu patted her husband's back gently, her eyes also red. Wasn't it painful for her to send the little girl away?
At the same time, Li Suining finally waited for Xiao Wu to come back, "Third brother..."
"How is it? Did everything go well today?" Xiao Wu came back from outside and naturally knew the situation, but he still wanted the little guy to tell it himself.
Li Suining nodded. "It went smoothly. The bad guy made the emperor angry, but..."
As soon as she got anxious, tears started to flow, and her little face was full of worry.
Xiao Wu instantly became nervous, "But what? What happened?"
"Third brother, when daddy and I left the palace, we saw Li Changan and Lou. Daddy..." Little Tuanzi suddenly realized something. Did Third Brother know that she was the child of the Prime Minister's Mansion? She...should she continue?
She stood there with a conflicted look on her face, pulling at her hands, not knowing whether she should ask Xiao Wu for help.
At this time, Xiao Wu already understood what Xiaotuanzi meant. Li Suining was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Her parents probably already knew about it, and Xiaotuanzi obviously knew it a long time ago.
He sighed softly and waved to the little dumpling, "Come here."
Li Suining hesitated for a moment, then immediately ran over, threw herself on Xiao Wu's knees, and shed tears silently.
"So, our Sui Ning has long known that I am... the child of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Xiao Wu lowered his head, touched the little guy's head again and again, and asked in a gentle voice.
Li Suining nodded, changed her posture, buried her whole face in Xiao Wu's knees, and cried even harder.
Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel distressed, and gently turned the little guy's head, "Look at Third Brother, tell Third Brother, since you already know, why don't you say it?"
Little Tuanzi was crying very hard at this time, tears falling one after another, her little nose was red, and she answered with sobs, "I... I'm afraid... I'm afraid that you... will... will send me away, wuwuwu..."
She once again laid on Xiao Wu's knees and burst into tears, "Wuwuwu... Third brother, I don't want to leave you, I don't want to... Please don't send me away, okay?"
"Silly sister," Xiao Wu felt even more distressed. He scooped Tuanzi into his arms and placed her on his knees. "Third brother won't let you leave again."
Li Suining looked over with tears in her eyes, "Third brother... no... don't lie to me?"
"Of course." Xiao Wu nodded affirmatively and carefully wiped the little fellow's tears. "But, sister, have you thought it through? The current prime minister is your biological father, and the prime minister's residence is much more luxurious than the general's residence..."
"I don't want that bad guy to be my father." The little girl wiped her tears hard and said angrily.
Xiao Wu twitched the corner of his mouth and continued to ask softly, "Then...what about your mother? Don't you want her anymore?"
The little girl stopped talking for a moment, lowered her head, and tears began to fall one by one.
Xiao Wu held her gently and whispered, "Sister, Third Brother doesn't want to lie to you. Actually... the Prime Minister's wife came to the General's Mansion last time... because she knew the truth."
The little dumpling immediately looked over in surprise.
Xiao Wu nodded. "Later, Third Brother went to see her and... said some harsh words. He couldn't accept that she had abandoned you. But I think she might have some helpless reasons."
The little girl lowered her head again and said in a muffled voice, "Actually... Aunt Meiren is not having a good time in the Prime Minister's Mansion. That big bad guy locked her up in a shabby yard and often lost his temper with her..."
She buried her little head in Xiao Wu's arms again and said aggrievedly, "She's so pitiful."
Xiao Wu gently patted the little girl's back. Hearing this, he was actually a little worried. Perhaps the natural bond between mother and daughter could not be changed. The little girl felt sorry for Jiang Yinyue and might want to go back to her.
He didn't dare to think further, nor could he imagine how his parents would feel now, but now, it was obvious that no matter what the outcome, they should face it together.
"Sister, listen to what Third Brother is saying," Xiao Wu said, his expression becoming more serious. "Tonight, let's talk it over with Mom and Dad, okay?"
With tears in his eyes, the little girl asked timidly, "Dad and Mom...will you send me away?"
"I believe that my parents will respect your choice, but..." Xiao Wu didn't want to lie to the child, "But there are many people involved in this matter, and the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely not be able to hide it, so... what will happen in the end, Third Brother can't tell you now."
Li Suining nodded slowly. She understood that she just really didn't want to leave the general's mansion. In her opinion, this place had long been her real home.
For the rest of the time, the entire general's mansion was immersed in an unspeakable silence, and everyone was waiting for the moment to confess to each other.
On the other side, at the palace gate, when it was almost dark, Zuo Shanzhang brought Zuo Sixian out, both of them were furious.
Lou finally saw someone and hurried over to greet him, "Prime Minister, you finally came out, you..."
When she saw Zuo Sixian shaking his head at her, she realized that things might not go well today. She thought for a moment before whispering, "Prime Minister, An An said he missed you, so I brought him here. The child is in the carriage now."
As she spoke, Lou returned to the carriage and shouted, "An An? Daddy is here, come out quickly!"
Li Changan had fallen asleep in Qian's arms. When he heard Lou's words, he sat up suddenly. "Dad is here? Great! I'm going to the palace."
As he spoke, he rushed out of the carriage and shouted at Zuo Shanzhang, "Dad, I want to go to the palace too. Take me there quickly!"
