Chapter 230: Both daughters have different destinies
Xiaotuanzi talked a lot to himself, but Haijiao closed her eyes and ignored him completely.
"Okay then!" She could only leave temporarily, "Auntie, then I... will go back first and come see you when I have time."
She carefully placed the remaining steamed bun in her hand where Haijiao could reach it.
"Goodbye, auntie!" Li Suining ran away with a click of his tongue.
Hai Jiao looked at Xiaotuanzi's back until he completely disappeared, then she withdrew her gaze.
She sat there for a while, then stood up and picked up the steamed buns left by Xiaotuanzi. She ate them bit by bit, tears falling down her face unconsciously.
If her Ru Ru was still alive, then...
Suddenly, there was another noise at the door. Hai Jiao quickly wiped away her tears and shouted impatiently at the door, "Didn't I tell you not to come again? You..."
When the person came in, she realized it was not Tuanzi, but Yun Tiankuo.
"What are you doing here?" Hai Jiao didn't want to pay any attention to him anymore. She turned around, facing away from the outside, and ate the steamed bun in small bites.
Yun Tiankuo didn't say anything. He silently opened the cell door and said in a deep voice, "Okay, go now. When you get out... be careful."
After saying that, he left.
Hai Jiao looked back, but the person had disappeared. She curled her lips speechlessly, swallowed the remaining steamed bun in no time, and left quickly.
——
Today's breakfast, Bai Yu'an and others deliberately ate with Wang Yuanshu, and Yun Tiankuo was also there.
While helping the little dumpling pick up some food, he asked with concern, "Lord Wang, has the reconstruction of Dongyi City been going smoothly these days?"
"It went pretty smoothly." Wang Yuanshu said with a smile, "Most of the buildings in the city were not damaged, but..."
He shook his head helplessly. "However, some people still moved away. After all, in their hearts, they are all people of the Northern Barbarians. They don't want to stay in Dajin. This is understandable."
Bai Yu'an nodded, "Yes, there's no need to force it. Those who can stay will naturally be welcomed by Dajin. Those who want to leave should also be given some severance pay."
"Well, don't worry, I will take care of it." Wang Yuanshu glanced at Yun Tiankuo next to him, not wanting to continue this topic, and began to ask Bai Yu'an and the others how they were living these days.
After breakfast, Bai Yu'an and others went back.
"City Lord Yun, please stay!" Wang Yuanshu stopped Yun Tiankuo who was about to leave.
Yun Tiankuo looked respectful, "Sir Wang, do you have any instructions?"
"City Lord Yun, you're so polite. I've been bothering you for so many days, and it's all thanks to your care." Wang Yuanshu stepped forward, patted Yun Tiankuo's arm, and sighed deeply. "Why didn't you mention your daughter's death?"
Yun Tiankuo clenched his hands at his sides suddenly, pulled the corners of his mouth, lowered his head and said, "It has already happened. No matter how much I say... she can't come back alive."
"Alas!" Wang Yuanshu sighed again and spoke meaningfully, "City Lord Yun, do you know? In fact, it was our general's own idea to take the initiative to attack Dongyi City."
Yun Tiankuo suddenly looked up, his fist at his side trembling slightly.
"As the saying goes, a general on the battlefield is not always subject to the emperor's orders. Moreover, this place is so far away from the imperial city. It would not be easy for the Jin emperor to order an attack on the Northern Barbarians."
Wang Yuanshu glanced at Yun Tiankuo, carefully observing his reaction. "So, I only figured it out later. This... was entirely the general's own intention."
Yun Tiankuo lowered his head and tried his best to suppress his emotions.
"And, do you know why?" Wang Yuanshu looked at Yun Tiankuo.
Yun Tiankuo's face was pale, and his lips trembled slightly with anger. When he spoke, his voice also trembled, "I think it's General Bai's patriotism..."
"You're overthinking it." Wang Yuanshu shook his head. "I've asked, and the reason is actually very simple. The general's daughter was ill at the time, so he wanted to end the battle quickly so he could take his daughter back to the imperial city for medical treatment. That's all."
"What?" Yun Tiankuo couldn't bear it anymore and his body shook uncontrollably.
The figure of that dumpling appeared in front of his eyes. So, Bai Yunfeng killed his Ru Ru for the sake of that dumpling?
"Okay, maybe I shouldn't tell you this." Wang Yuanshu was very satisfied with Yun Tiankuo's reaction.
The letter he sent received a response, and the big shot said that he wanted to kill Li Suining and others.
Don't blame him for being cruel. He comforted Yun Tiankuo and said, "City Lord Yun, you should also be more open-minded. You are both someone's daughter, but your fate is different. You have to accept it."
"Wang... Lord Wang is absolutely right." Yun Tiankuo lowered his head, hatred in his eyes. He had planned to let Li Suining go, but now... this child must die.
Only when Li Suining died could he be worthy of his daughter who also died.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Wang Yuanshu left with a gloating look on his face.
He believed that Yun Tiankuo would become his knife and take the lives of Li Suining and others.
——
On the other side, after Li Suining and others returned to the yard, they changed into northern barbarian clothes and looked completely different.
However, it is very obvious that their eyes are not blue.
"And this." Qingyun took out a small medicine bottle. "This was given to me by Musheng from the grain store. I noticed when I went there yesterday that their eyes are also blue. Although they look different from the Northern Barbarians if you look closely, if you don't look closely, you really can't tell. It's this."
Bai Yu'an recalled carefully and found that when they saw Mu Sheng yesterday, Mu Sheng did have blue eyes. He didn't look carefully and thought that Mu Sheng was also a northern barbarian.
"So, Mu Sheng is from Dajin?" He couldn't help but confirm it.
"Of course." Qingyun laughed and turned to the little girl and said, "Come here, Xiao Suining, I want to help you drip it."
The little girl blinked her eyes, her face full of curiosity. At this moment, she was wearing northern barbarian clothes, and the red and green colors on her body made her look particularly festive.
She nodded excitedly. After all, she always thought that her sixth brother's blue eyes were super beautiful, and she always hoped that she could have a pair of blue eyes.
"Wait a moment." Bai Yu'an gestured to Qingyun to give him the potion.
Qingyun handed it over, and at the same time, he understood his concerns and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this thing won't harm your eyes. It just needs to be applied once every one or two hours."
Bai Yu'an smelled it and indeed did not detect any poisonous smell.
"Okay, let's try it today." He asked the little boy to tilt his head back, and then he carefully dripped the liquid into his eyes.
Li Suining felt her eyes were extremely cold. She couldn't help but blink and asked excitedly, "How is it?"
Qingyun brought the bronze mirror in time.
