Chapter 145 How Could She Not Be Afraid
Li Suining slept very uneasily that night. She would wake up suddenly from time to time and run to the yard to look, but the sky was still pitch black and the stars had not come out.
She felt more and more that something unexpected would happen tomorrow.
"Is Aning too nervous?" Jiang Yinyue asked with concern. In fact, she didn't sleep much either. After all, tomorrow's events were too important and could determine the rest of her life.
"Mother," the little girl raised her head from Jiang Yinyue's arms, her face full of worry, "What if something unexpected happens tomorrow and our plan fails?"
Jiang Yinyue paused as she patted her, then quickly returned to normal, "Failure... That's Mother's fate, Mother accepts it."
She knew that if she failed, Zuo Shanzhang would not keep her, but fortunately Aning had a good home, so she felt relieved.
"Be good, don't be afraid. I have no regrets that I was able to recognize Aning and do such a brave thing with Aning." Jiang Yinyue said as she gave the little dumpling a light kiss on the forehead.
Li Suining's eyes gradually misted up, but soon she became determined, "Mom, we will succeed."
She must rescue her mother from the Prime Minister's Mansion and let her mother live a happy life.
must!

The next morning, Jiang Yinyue got up early and started dressing up the little girl.
Because she knew about the flower viewing banquet early on, she had several sets of clothes customized in advance and gave them to the little one to try on one by one.
"The young lady is so beautiful, like a flower fairy." The personal maid next to her couldn't help but praise her.
Jiang Yinyue's face was full of pride. She tried on all the clothes, but she thought every one of them was beautiful and she had no way of choosing.
"Aning, which one do you like?" She could only ask Xiaotuanzi for his opinion.
At this time, the little girl was wearing a lilac gauze skirt with flowers of various shapes embroidered on it with silver thread. The stamens of each flower were decorated with small pearls. At first glance, it looked exquisite and rich.
When she heard her mother's words, she raised her chubby little hand, and the bell on her wrist rang crisply. She pulled the hem of her skirt and spun around happily, "Mom, I think this set is very beautiful."
"Beautiful! Then listen to our Aning and wear this one." After deciding on the clothes, Jiang Yinyue helped Li Suining tie her hair.
Little Tuanzi's hair was still a little sparse, but it had grown a lot longer. Jiang Yinyue simply helped her tie it into a small bun, then decorated it with wisteria flowers and gave her earrings of the same color. After everything was done, Li Suining really looked like a little princess in the palace.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Jiang Yinyue was very satisfied with her work and asked the little guy for his opinion with some anticipation.
"Yeah." The little dumpling nodded vigorously and grinned happily, "I like it very much."
Jiang Yinyue smiled softly. If time permitted, she really wanted to help Li Suining with a few more hairstyles. After all, in the future... she might not have many opportunities.
"Madam, it's getting late. It's time to go out." Lou, who had been waiting outside, urged impatiently.
"What's the rush?" Jiang Yinyue's face darkened. "If Aunt Lou can't wait, you can leave first."
Lou snorted, her tone returning to her usual tone. "Madam, you're joking. The Empress invited you, Madam. I'm just taking advantage of her. How dare I leave first?"
"If you don't dare, just shut up and wait!" Jiang Yinyue didn't give her a good look.
Lou gritted her teeth silently, cursing inwardly, "Bitch, I wonder how long you can hold on to your pride! After today, you and your old, nagging father will both be beheaded, humph!"
Jiang Yinyue hesitated for a while before taking the little girl out.
At this time, Qingyun came up and said in a low voice, "Seventh Miss, the Third Young Master wants to see you."
The little dumpling nodded.
After the group left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Yinyue saw Xiao Wu waiting in the distance and patted Li Suining's shoulder. "Go ahead, don't worry, Mom is waiting for you here."
The little girl immediately ran towards Xiao Wu, and the bell on her wrist rang out in a clear and pleasant sound.
Seeing this, Lou became impatient again, "You're so slow, you don't know the rules at all."
"If you're in a hurry, just get in the car and wait. Don't talk nonsense here!" Jiang Yinyue's face turned cold. She didn't like standing with Lou either.
"Yes, ma'am, I'll get in the car first." Lou looked back at Qian behind her, then turned and walked towards the second carriage.
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Yinyue's face darkened, and he looked at Qian with dissatisfaction, and asked coldly, "Why? Are you going too?"
"My dear Madam..." Qian didn't dare to raise her head, nor did she dare to look at Jiang Yinyue. "I am really curious and want to follow you into the palace to broaden your horizons. I hope Madam will agree to this."
Jiang Yinyue didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Lou immediately spoke up, "Madam, you wouldn't be so stingy, would you? This Qian is An An's adoptive mother after all. She begged me, so I agreed. Madam, don't worry. I will take good care of her after she enters the palace and won't cause any trouble for you."
Jiang Yinyue glanced at the two of them, turned to look in the direction of Li Suining, obviously agreeing.
Lou and Qian looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly got on the carriage.
Over at the little dumpling's side, Xiao Wu solemnly instructed, "Sister, remember one thing about this matter. Protect yourself and your mother. Even if the divorce is unsuccessful, it doesn't matter. We can find another opportunity."
"Yes, but Third Brother," Little Dumpling gently grasped the corner of Xiao Wu's clothes, "No stars appeared last night. I was always worried...would there be any accidents?"
"Be good, it's okay." This was also what Xiao Wu was worried about, but now that things had come to this, he knew he could only act according to circumstances.
He caressed the little guy's head lovingly and said, "If something unexpected happens, the worst that can happen is that this thing won't work out. We can find another opportunity. Don't worry too much. Besides, mother is going to the palace today and will be able to take care of her when the time comes. Don't be afraid."
In fact, Li Suining was just a four-year-old child. How could she not be afraid when they gave her such a heavy burden?
"Yes, Third Brother, I understand." Li Suining stepped forward and gently hugged Xiao Wu, "Third Brother, I'm leaving now."
"Go, remember, the most important thing is to protect yourself." Xiao Wu finally instructed.
Little Tuanzi ran back to Jiang Yinyue and said in a baby voice, "Mom, let's go."
"Okay!" Jiang Yinyue nodded to Xiao Wu, turned around, carried Li Suining into the carriage, and got into the carriage himself.
The group headed towards the palace, and Qingyun followed the carriage so that he could take them to the palace gate.
On the way, Lou Shi whispered to Qian Shi to confirm, "Did you bring the things?"
Qian nodded. Her face was pale, her palms were sweaty, and she was so nervous that she could hardly speak.
"Look at what you've accomplished." Lou rolled her eyes at her. Thinking of the things on her, she was actually a little nervous.
She took a few deep breaths and spoke slowly, as if to persuade Qian, but also to persuade herself, "This is the last hurdle. Once we get through this, there will be a bright future ahead."
