Chapter 236 Do You Believe What This Child Says?
Hai Jiao didn't say anything. She had naturally thought about this possibility, but she was unwilling and unable to accept it.
The outcome was obvious. She continued, "Of course I won't enter the City Lord's Mansion, but... I'm pregnant..."
Hai Jiao stopped again. She just cried softly at first, but in the end, she covered her face and sobbed uncontrollably.
"Auntie, don't cry, don't cry!" Little Tuanzi hurried to coax Haijiao. She wiped Haijiao's tears in a panic, but she couldn't wipe them all away. She was so anxious that she started crying too.
"Wuwuwu..." She opened her mouth and cried even more sadly than Haijiao, "I know you must be very sad. I am very sad too, wuwuwu..."
Hai Jiao heard the little guy crying and quickly stopped. She picked up Li Suining and said, "Don't cry, don't cry. I won't cry anymore. You won't cry either, okay?"
After such a long time, she still didn’t know what this ball was called, “Tell Auntie, what is your name?”
The little girl sobbed and introduced herself, "My name is Li Suining."
Hai Jiao understood that the child had not changed his surname. She smiled and wiped the little girl's tears, "Don't cry, Sui Ning, don't cry, I won't cry either."
Little Dumpling asked tentatively, "Did your aunt's sister and...daughter all die in the war?"
Hai Jiao nodded.
"Hai Ya..." Yun Tiankuo sighed, "Actually, after that incident, she has been living in a very sad mood. This time... she shouldn't have shown up, but..."
He was obviously in some pain. "I always feel...she did it on purpose. She feels very guilty about scheming you, so..."
Hai Jiao understood what Yun Tiankuo meant. In fact, Haiya was looking for an opportunity to commit suicide.
"Auntie, my dad..." Little Dumpling cautiously probed again, "Daddy Bai wouldn't kill innocent people, and neither would the Bai Family Army. I followed them all the way from Dajin to here, and I stayed with them every day. Really, they wouldn't kill children."
Hai Jiao frowned, "What do you mean? I saw it with my own eyes, could it be fake?"
Li Suining didn't know what to say, but she just believed in the Bai family army.
Hai Jiao put the little girl down. "Li Suining, this is what I want to say. Tian Kuo wanted to kill you because... he wanted to avenge our Ru Ru. But now that he knows you are not Bai Yunfeng's daughter, he won't hurt you again. Can you forgive him?"
Little Dumpling could feel that because of what he had just said, they were distancing themselves from him again.
She nodded. "I understand Uncle City Lord. I'm not angry with him. I just hope... one day, you will believe that Father Bai and the Bai Family Army won't kill innocent people. They are all very good people."
"Okay, don't make your two brothers wait anxiously, go back quickly." Hai Jiao didn't want to listen to this girl anymore because she realized that he might not be able to help but believe her.
But, she had witnessed her daughter being killed by the Bai family army with her own eyes. How could such a thing be wrong? How could she trust the enemy's lobbying?
However, there was one thing she wanted to remind Xiaotuanzi, "Oh, there's one more thing you need to remember."
Li Suining blinked and nodded seriously.
"It was Wang Yuanshu who wanted to kill you. Tian Kuo was waiting here today because of Wang Yuanshu's instigation. You should be careful from now on."
Hai Jiao waved her hand, "Okay, let's go back."
"Okay then." Little Dumpling also waved her hand. Although she had many questions in her heart, she believed what Aunt Haijiao said. "Then I'll be leaving. Goodbye!"
She looked at the two of them deeply, then turned and ran towards Bai Yu'an and Qingyun.
Hai Jiao looked at the little guy's back and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Tian Kuo, do you believe what this child said?"
Yun Tiankuo didn't say anything.
"If what she said is true," Hai Jiao frowned, "could it be that we really have made a mistake?"
Yun Tiankuo shook his head. "The one who killed Ru Ru was a soldier from the Great Jin Dynasty. There's no doubt about that. Besides, there are so many people in the Bai Family Army. Even if Bai Yunfeng really wanted to discipline them, he couldn't control them all."
He didn't want to think too much about this matter. He had to avenge Ru Ru. If even the Bai family army could not be considered an enemy, he didn't know who else to look for.
His Ru Ru cannot just die in vain.
"By the way, how are your preparations going?" Yun Tiankuo suddenly asked in a deep voice.
Hai Jiao also suppressed something, "Our people are almost ready, but... I'm afraid we're short of manpower. There really aren't many people left in the city who can be used."
Yun Tiankuo sighed, "Hai Jiao, we only have one chance, we must succeed in one strike, otherwise... both us and Dongyi City will be finished."
"I understand, so there's no need to rush. Oh, right," Hai Jiao suddenly remembered something. "When I went to see them today, I saw a noble person. If she could come forward, we would definitely be able to recruit more troops, and Wang Yuanshu and those people would be dead for sure."
"A distinguished person?" Yun Tiankuo was a little confused. What kind of distinguished person could come to Dongyi City now?
Hai Jiao moved closer to him and said more mysteriously, "The princess has come to Dongyi City."
"Princess?" Yun Tiankuo was clearly shocked. "Are you talking about Princess Ling'er?"
Hai Jiao nodded, "Yes, I saw her today with two maids heading towards the Fire House. They should be staying there."
She looked visibly excited. "Tian Kuo, if Huo Ling'er can come forward, then mobilizing the troops from the surrounding cities would be a piece of cake. By then, let alone killing Wang Yuanshu and taking back Dongyi City, we'd be able to capture even a city a little further away."
"No." Yun Tiankuo's first reaction was to refuse. He knew Huo Linger's identity and weight, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
"If Princess Ling'er encounters any mishap in Dongyi City, then all of us will die." He didn't want to take even the slightest risk. "Let me think about it again, let me think about it again."
Hai Jiao also knew the importance of this matter and did not urge her.
Soon, the two parted ways.
On the way back to the City Lord's Mansion, Li Suining briefly talked about Yun Tiankuo, Hai Jiao and Ru Ru. She still firmly believed that the Bai family army would not kill children.
"Absolutely impossible!" Bai Yu'an immediately said after hearing this that such a thing would not happen. "Let alone a four-year-old girl, even if it was an unarmed woman or an old man, the Bai family army would not kill her. This thing could not be done by the Bai family army."
"That's Wang Yuanshu." Qingyun said disdainfully, "How many evil things has Wang Yuanshu done that we still don't know about?"
"I know." Little Tuanzi immediately raised his hand, attracting the attention of the two. "Auntie Haijiao said that the city lord would come to kill me today, and it was also the work of that bad guy Wang Yuanshu."
She was furious. "It seems like Wang Yuanshu is just as bad as Zuo Shanzhang. Humph!"
