Chapter 13 Xiao Suining finally accepted them
Seeing that Qian was not going to stop, Bai Yunfeng and Wei Ranzhu asked Bai Shian to take Li Suining back first. After all, they didn't want to make things too awkward in front of the child.
"Sui Ning, be good and go back with your fourth brother first." Bai Yunfeng touched the little girl's head, fearing that she would be frightened.
However, just as Bai Shian was about to turn around and leave with Li Suining in his arms, the little guy suddenly shouted at Qian, "You're lying!"
Several people were stunned, not understanding what the little guy was going to do.
Li Suining looked at Qian, holding back tears and fear, and complained in a baby voice, "You don't love me at all, and you don't allow me to call you mother. The little food you gave me was earned by my work, and it was left over by you and your brother."
Qian's expression changed.
"Although Daddy can't be with me, every time he comes back, he gives you a lot of money so that you can buy me new clothes and delicious food, but you never do. You spend all the money on your brother."
Li Suining sniffed and looked at Bai Yunfeng and Wei Ranzhu with red eyes. "I want to continue staying in the General's Mansion. It's not that I want to be a young lady, but...compared to you, they are more like my parents, and this place is more like my home."
"Sui Ning, my good Sui Ning!" Bai Yunfeng was extremely moved. He did not expect that Li Sui Ning would have the courage to resist Qian, and the child's words made him more determined to adopt her.
Xiaotuanzi seemed a little nervous. She had been holding back the words she had just said for a long time.
She tugged at her own hands, looked at the expectant eyes of Bai Yunfeng and Wei Ranzhu, and finally mustered up the courage to shout, "Dad, Mom!"
"Good boy, good boy!" Bai Yunfeng and Wei Ranzhu cried with joy. They were so happy that Xiao Suining was finally willing to accept them.
Bai Shian was also very happy, "Sister, be good. Fourth brother will take you to eat some jujube paste cakes, okay?"
"Okay!" Li Suining responded in a milky voice, and then immediately said obediently, "Fourth brother, put me down, I can walk by myself. Fourth brother's leg is not healed yet, put me down quickly."
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister." Bai Shi'an carefully put Li Suining on the ground.
Before the little guy landed on the ground, he immediately ran to pick up the crutch and handed it to Bai Shian, "Fourth brother, use this."
Bai Shi'an limped away, leaning on a crutch in one hand and holding Li Suining's hand in the other.
Qian gnashed her teeth in hatred, and after a moment's thought, she said, "General Bai, Madam General, there is something I should remind you of."
She sneered, "I want to take Li Suining away for the good of the General's Mansion. This child has a tough life. Her mother died shortly after she was born, and now her father has died too. If the General's Mansion keeps her, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."
"That's pure nonsense!" Bai Yunfeng thought it was ridiculous. "Li Tianfu died saving me. If you want to talk about having a tough life, then I'm the one who has a tough life, right?"
Qian's expression changed slightly. Knowing that nothing she said would be of any use, she turned around and left angrily.
But justice is in the hearts of the people. Li Tianfu died to save Bai Yunfeng. The General's Mansion cannot ignore Li Changan. She will not give up.
…
That night, news came from the palace that Bai Shi'an had been rewarded for saving people, and the emperor had rewarded him with many things, including a family dinner.
Everyone in the general's mansion was extremely happy. Bai Shi'an didn't like studying and hung out with the son of Marquis Ding'an and others every day, causing a lot of trouble. Unexpectedly, he made a great contribution this time.
After the family dinner was served, Bai Yunfeng called everyone in the house together, one to formally introduce Li Suining to everyone, and the other to celebrate for Bai Shian.
After nightfall, the general's mansion was decorated with lights and colors, as if it were New Year's Day. Laughter could be heard constantly at the banquet in the front hall.
Li Suining sat on Bai Yunfeng's lap. She was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket with a snow-white rabbit fur collar, which made her look rosy and delicate.
There were two young men standing in front of Bai Yunfeng, one tall and one short, both very handsome, but one had a gloomy look and the other had a burly build. They were the second and fifth sons of the general's mansion.
"Sui Ning, this is your second brother, Bai Yu'an. He usually likes to stay in his yard to study medicinal herbs, so you have rarely seen him." Bai Yunfeng took the initiative to introduce.
"Hello, second brother!" Li Suining greeted him timidly. This second brother was a little scary, and he had a strong bitter smell of medicine on him, which made her even more scared.
Bai Yu'an lowered his eyes to glance at Li Suining, then turned to Bai Yunfeng and said, "Dad, it's nothing, I'll go back first. There's some medicine still simmering on the fire, and I'm worried about the servants watching over me."
"You kid, the family finally has a meal together, and you can't stay a little longer." Bai Yunfeng frowned.
"Okay, you know Yu'er's temper, let him go back." Wei Ranzhu stood up and saw Bai Yu'an off.
"Let's not worry about him." Bai Yunfeng continued to introduce, "This is my fifth brother, Bai Ruian. He goes to school every day and does his homework when he returns home, so you haven't seen him these past few days."
Bai Ruian's chubby, round face looked particularly cute. He always had an honest smile on his face and gently pulled Li Suining's hand, "Hello, sister Suining."
Li Suining responded sweetly, "Hello, Fifth Brother!"
"Okay, we can start." Bai Shi'an noticed that Li Suining's eyes kept glancing at the table, and he obviously couldn't wait any longer.
"Alright! This is a gift from the Emperor after all. If you say start eating, then let's start eating." Bai Yunfeng looked down at Li Suining, "Suining, what do you want to eat?"
Li Suining was dazzled and wanted to try all the dishes on the table.
"Eat a chicken drumstick first." Bai Shian was quick to pull out a large chicken drumstick and gave it to Li Suining. "Eat it, sister. It's delicious."
"Thank you, Fourth Brother!" Li Suining took a big bite of a chicken drumstick that was bigger than her face, and immediately fluttered her feet twice in delight at the delicious taste. "It's delicious!"
Everyone was amused.
Bai Ruian also teased Li Suining with food, making everyone laugh.
But Li Suining was only three years old after all, and her stomach was so small that she was full quickly.
She sat in Bai Yunfeng's arms, her head tilted left and right in a sleepy state, and she asked drowsily, "Daddy, where are the other brothers?"
Bai Yunfeng smiled and replied, "The eldest and third are not here. When they come back, Daddy will introduce you to each other. As for the sixth..."
"Sixth brother is a freak. He never leaves his yard. Sister, don't worry about him." The fifth brother rushed to answer.
Bai Yunfeng glared at Bai Ruian in warning, then gently replied to Li Suining, "Old Six likes to be alone, so I've already had food delivered to him. Suining, don't worry."
"Dad, I'm full." Seeing that Li Suining was very sleepy, Bai Shi'an took the initiative to say, "Sister is sleepy, let me carry her back to sleep."
He carefully picked up the little girl and walked towards Qinxin Garden.
On the way, Li Suining forced himself to stay sleepy, looked at the stars, and muttered in a daze, "Strange, my fifth brother didn't go to school."
"Sister, what did you say?" Bai Shian wanted to ask, but found that the little girl had fallen asleep.
