Chapter 128 Even if you get beaten, you can't cry
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zuo Shanzhang was handling official business in his study when he heard a knock on the door. "Come in!"
"Prime Minister, I asked the kitchen to make some dumplings for you. Please have some." Lou came in with a twisted waist and put the things in her hand on the table.
Zuo Shanzhang put down his pen, stretched his body, and asked casually, "Is Jiang Yinyue back?"
"Well..." Lou hesitated for a moment before saying helplessly, "Prime Minister, Madam...hasn't come back yet."
"What?" Zuo Shanzhang was obviously shocked. "She really dares not come back tonight?"
Lou cautiously stepped forward and touched Zuo Shanzhang's chest. "Don't be angry, my Lord. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt. Madam...she's gone too far."
She carefully observed Zuo Shanzhang's expression, and then continued tentatively, "Prime Minister, if Madam really doesn't come back, you..."
"She dares!" Zuo Shanzhang picked up the sweet soup meatballs on the table and ate them slowly. "Tomorrow morning, she will definitely come back obediently. Just wait and see!"
Lou curled her lips and nodded flatteringly, "Your Excellency is right. Madam will definitely be back tomorrow morning."
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She couldn't help but recall what happened back then. "Back then, she was pregnant and had been away from the Prime Minister's Residence for so long, but she eventually came back. So, where else could she go if she didn't come back?"
Zuo Shanzhang curled the corners of his mouth and secretly told himself that if Jiang Yinyue came back this time, he would definitely make her regret it.

The next morning, after Li Suining and Jiang Yinyue had breakfast at the general's mansion, they went to Jiang's house together.
"My beautiful mother, let's go in together." Little Tuanzi took Jiang Yinyue's hand and was about to go in.
"Aning," Jiang Yinyue stood still. She shook her head and let go of Xiaotuanzi's hand. "Aning, you go in first. I... will just wait outside."
"Why?" Li Suining tilted his head in confusion, "Why doesn't my beautiful mother come in with me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Jiang Yinyue kneeling at the gate of the Jiang residence. She immediately went over to pull Jiang Yinyue, "My beautiful mother, please get up."
"Aning, make mother kneel down." Jiang Yinyue's eyes were red. "Otherwise, I really won't be able to face your grandfather."
She looked at the gate of Jiang's house, and recalled the hardships Jiang Heci had gone through to raise her alone, but what did she do after she grew up?
She choked up and said, "In my life, the two people I feel most sorry for are you and your grandfather. Just let me kneel down."
The little girl felt a little distressed, but she also knew that she couldn't persuade her beautiful mother. "Okay, I'll go in and find my grandfather now. Mother, you wait here for us."
She wiped her moist eyes, turned around and ran towards Jiang's house.
The doorman had already opened the door. Seeing the little girl moving her short legs quickly, he nervously said, "Miss Bai Qi, run slowly. Master Jiang is in the study."
After entering Jiang's house, Xiaotuanzi was familiar with the place and quickly found Jiang Heci in the study.
Jiang Heci heard the movement at the door, looked up and saw the little girl, and a smile instantly appeared in his eyes, "You little heartless person, you finally remembered me, an old man."
Little Dumpling stood at the door, opened his mouth, and wanted to call his grandfather, but no words came out.
Jiang Heci frowned, noticing something was wrong with the little guy, and took a few steps forward, "What's wrong with you? Did someone bully you?"
The little girl quickly shook her head, her eyes turning red.
"Sui Ning, tell Grandpa Jiang who bullied you?" Jiang Heci became even more nervous when he saw this and immediately squatted in front of the little dumpling, "Tell Grandpa Jiang."
Li Suining said pitifully, "You are not my Grandpa Jiang..."
"What?" The old master didn't understand what the child said, so he smiled and said, "I'm not your Grandpa Jiang, so who is it? Could it be..."
"Grandfather!" Little Dumpling finally mustered up the courage, rushed over and hugged Jiang Heci's neck, shouting over and over again, "Grandfather, you are my grandpa!"
Jiang Heci was almost knocked down by Xiaotuanzi, but when he heard Xiaotuanzi calling him grandpa, he was stunned for a moment.
After a while, he confirmed that he had heard correctly, and then he asked tremblingly, "Tuanzi, you...what did you call me?"
Li Suining let go of Jiang Heci and grabbed his big hand, "Grandfather, come out with me quickly. Mother is outside and she wants to see you."
Jiang Heci became increasingly confused. "What's wrong with you, little girl? You disappeared for several days, and suddenly you come here to call me... Grandfather? Your mother? Bai Yunfeng's wife? What does she want from me?"
"No." Little Dumpling grabbed Jiang Heci's big hand with both hands and dragged him out with all his strength, "You'll know if you come out with me. Hurry up, hurry up!"
"Okay, okay." Jiang Heci didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As he followed the little girl out, he reminded her with concern, "Slow down, don't fall."
An old man and a child staggered to the gate. Jiang Heci saw Jiang Yinyue kneeling there. He subconsciously wanted to go over and help his daughter up, but stopped in time when he reached his daughter.
He put his hands behind his back, looked at Jiang Yinyue coldly and said, "Why are you here? What are you kneeling here for? This is not the Prime Minister's residence, you don't need to kneel."
"Dad..." Jiang Yinyue raised her head, her eyes already red from crying, "I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
Jiang Heci frowned distressedly. It had been a long time since he saw Jiang Yinyue cry in front of him. He immediately asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Did that bastard Zuo Shanzhang bully you?"
"Dad!" Jiang Yinyue shook her head. Seeing the worry in her old father's eyes, she burst into tears and couldn't say a word.
"Don't cry, what's the point of crying?" Jiang Heci said anxiously, "What did your father teach you when you were a child? Even if you were beaten, you couldn't cry. At least you had to fight back first, and then go home and cry secretly. Have you forgotten?"
"Dad!" Jiang Yinyue wanted to say that she had not forgotten. She almost never cried in front of Zuo Shanzhang. Every time Zuo Shanzhang scolded her or made things difficult for her, she would resist. It's just... it's just that she thought she had no home anymore and no place to cry.
"Mother," Little Tuanzi couldn't bear to watch any longer and knelt before Jiang Heci, imitating Jiang Yinyue. "Grandfather, Mother knows she was wrong and she wants to ask for your forgiveness."
Jiang Heci looked at the two people, one big and one small, and took a step back in disbelief, "You...you..."
At this moment, the two of them were kneeling together, which made him feel even more dazed, as if the childhood Jiang Yinyue and the adult Jiang Yinyue had met.
Jiang Yinyue wiped her tears and tried her best to control her emotions, "Dad, you heard right, Suining...she is my child, your granddaughter."
"What...what?" Obviously the news was too shocking. Jiang Heci felt a black screen in front of his eyes and fainted before he could say anything.
