Chapter 229 Can She Believe What This Guy Says?
"Auntie?" Li Suining saw the woman lying weakly in the corner when she entered the dungeon. She called out tentatively.
The woman closed her eyes, and it was unclear whether she was not awake or if she was awake but didn't want to pay attention to anyone.
The little girl hesitated for a while, then mustered up the courage to shout, "Auntie, do you want to eat something before you go to bed? You'll get sick if you're hungry all the time."
"Get out!" Hai Jiao still closed her eyes and scolded fiercely. She didn't know where this little girl got the courage from and why she dared to bother her.
When Li Suining saw that the person had woken up, his eyes lit up immediately and he took out his steamed buns. "Auntie, please have something to eat. I brought this from the kitchen. It's hot."
Hai Jiao couldn't bear it any longer, she opened her eyes and looked over coldly, her eyes looking murderous.
Little Dumpling shrank her neck in fear, but she kept telling herself not to be afraid and to be brave. The aunt inside was like this because she had lost her relatives, and she couldn't just ignore her.
So, she plucked up her courage, took a steamed bun, and put her little hand inside the railing.
"Auntie, please eat quickly. The city lord and the others won't know, and I won't tell anyone." The little bun's face was full of sincerity, and his big eyes were full of seriousness.
Hai Jiao didn't say anything. She looked at the child's outstretched hand and then looked into the child's eyes.
There was madness and struggle in her eyes.
"Auntie, you'll get sick if you're hungry like this. Come eat quickly. I have three steamed buns here," the little dumpling curled his eyes, "all for you."
Hai Jiao gritted her teeth and her body couldn't help shaking. She slowly moved towards the child's hand.
Li Suining's expression lit up and he immediately became happy. He raised his little hand holding the steamed bun and pushed it forward, hoping that his aunt would get the bun quickly.
The steamed buns were white and soft, and Tuanzi's little hands were just as white. Five delicate and cute fingers pressed five small pits on the steamed buns.
Soon, Hai Jiao moved closer. She didn't make a move, but asked coldly, "Little girl, aren't you afraid of me?"
"Well..." Little Dumpling hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "I'm afraid. Auntie is always fierce, so I'm a little scared, but only a little."
Hai Jiao's eyes turned colder. "Are you afraid that you'd still dare to come?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately reached out and held Mantou, as well as Tuanzi's little hand, tightly in her own hands.
Now, if she pulled hard enough, the child's arm would definitely break.
Her daughter lost her life, so using Bai Yunfeng's daughter's arm as compensation was considered a bargain for them.
"Because I know Auntie isn't usually like this." Little Dumpling didn't seem to sense the danger yet, and continued to explain in a baby voice, "Aunie is just too sad right now. When my dad passed away... I was also very sad."
Hai Jiao paused, frowning tightly as she asked, "Little girl, do you still want to deceive me? Your father? Your father is Bai Yunfeng, and she's alive and well."
As she said this, she tried to tear Li Suining's arm off.
"I am a child picked up by the general." The little girl lowered her head. In her heart, the bad guy Zuo Shanzhang was not her father, and Li Tianfu would always be her biological father.
Her voice was muffled, revealing a hint of sadness. "My father also died on the battlefield. Before he died, he entrusted me to Father Bai. Later, I was taken back to the General's Mansion."
Hai Jiao was completely stunned. This child... wasn't Bai Yunfeng's? She almost... killed the wrong person?
She was a little annoyed. When she felt the child's little hand, which was as soft and smooth as her Ruru's, her tears suddenly fell.
She let go of her hand, grabbed the steamed bun, lowered her head, and stuffed it into her mouth while crying.
"Auntie, please don't cry." Little Tuanzi wiped his tears vigorously. "Can we all stop crying? They are far away. They definitely don't want us to be so sad."
Hai Jiao paused, looked up at Li Suining, and asked coldly, "Your father also died on the battlefield? Then don't you hate Bai Yunfeng? If it weren't for him..."
"Of course I don't hate Father Bai. He doesn't like fighting either. He loves everyone in the General's Mansion. That's why he wishes he could stay in the General's Mansion every day and never have to fight."
Little Dumpling explained anxiously.
"That's nonsense." Hai Jiao didn't believe it at all. "Bai Yunfeng is a general, a military commander. He became a great general precisely because of his repeated victories on the battlefield. If he didn't fight, what use would he be?"
She sneered, "I think he wishes there were endless wars every day. That way, they could occupy countless cities and plunder countless treasures. They're simply beasts who drink human blood and eat human flesh."
"No, no." The little girl shook her head anxiously, "Daddy is not like that. Besides, the general's mansion is very poor. When mom gave birth to my younger brother and sister, she couldn't even afford to buy a ginseng."
Hai Jiao looked at her doubtfully. Obviously, the Bai Yunfeng mentioned by this guy was completely different from the Bai Yunfeng she knew.
Can she believe what this guy says?
Can't believe it!
Although children usually don't lie, they can be easily deceived. This child must have been deceived by Bai Yunfeng and mistakenly recognized the thief as his father!
Hai Jiao snorted, "What does a child know."
The little girl pouted unconvincedly, "Adults don't know everything, and children don't know nothing either."
Seeing Hai Jiao finish one steamed bun, she immediately handed over the second one and said, "Children understand children better than adults."
Haijiao took the steamed bun and glanced at Tuanzi.
"Auntie..." Li Suining cautiously asked, "You...your child..."
"It's my daughter." Hai Jiao lowered her head, feeling a pain in her heart. She said slowly, "Her name is Ru Ru. She's four years old. She..."
She gritted her teeth, but still couldn't control her trembling, and the steamed bun in her hand was instantly squeezed into a ball.
"She was stabbed by a sword... by a soldier of the Bai family army." When Hai Jiao said this, she felt as if the piercing pain seemed to happen to her again, but why was it not her who died?
"How is that possible?" Li Suining widened her eyes in surprise. She didn't believe it.
"How is it impossible?" Hai Jiao looked over, her eyes turned red due to sadness and anger, and her expression looked like an evil ghost crawling out of the King of Hell's Palace.
Little Dumpling slowly shook her head. She really didn't believe it. She had come into contact with the soldiers of the Bai family army, and every one of them was very kind. They would never harm a three-year-old child.
Moreover, she also believed that the military discipline established by her father would never allow them to do so.
"Auntie, maybe... you saw it wrong? Or... those aren't the Bai family's soldiers?"
Seeing that Li Suining was still speaking for the Bai family army, Hai Jiao was immediately furious. She threw away the remaining steamed buns and replied through gritted teeth, "I can't be wrong. They are all wearing the same clothes."
She stood up and went back to the corner, closing her eyes again. "Go away, and don't come back!"
