Chapter 379 Aren’t You Scared? She’s Like a Ghost
Yuan Xiaonian and Yuan Baoyu were obviously shocked, and looked at Li Suining in disbelief.
Yuan Baoyu was the first to react and said viciously, "Li Suining, you are right. It will be you and your mother who will suffer. Humph!"
Yuan Xiaonian's aura was obviously more dangerous, and he narrowed his eyes as he looked at the little dumpling.
Li Suining was a little afraid of him, so he pulled Yuan Baoyu and hurried to the back door. "Let's go find those two distinguished guests now."
They had agreed last night to leave the cold palace directly through the back door today so that they would not be discovered by Shaoyao and the others.
"Okay." Yuan Baoyu nodded.
The two little guys walked in front, and Yuan Xiaonian followed silently behind.
Yuan Baoyu was a little unhappy and asked Li Suining dissatisfiedly, "Why is he following us?"
"Don't worry about him." Little Dumpling looked back.
She had agreed to let Yuan Xiaonian go with her yesterday, so it was impossible for her to drive him away now.
Fortunately, Yuan Baoyu soon stopped caring about Yuan Xiaonian's existence and quickly found the yard with Li Suining.
They hid in the corner outside the wall.
Yuan Baoyu lowered his voice and said, "They live in here, a mute and a blind man."
The little dumpling nodded.
Yuan Baoyu asked again, "Li Suining, do you want to go in and see them?"
"No, let's wait a while." Li Suining said firmly, "The mute will come out."
She had naturally asked the stars last night if she could see the girl today.
"Really?" The little fat man was skeptical.
Li Suining nodded vigorously, and she subconsciously looked in Yuan Xiaonian's direction.
The young man was tall and slender. He was standing not far away with his arms folded, attracting a lot of attention.
Soon, Yuan Baoyu also noticed it. He stamped his feet in anger and said, "How could this robber be so stupid? Why didn't he hide?"
"Don't worry about him, someone is coming out." When the little dumpling heard the voice, he quickly pulled the Yuan Baoyu.
The two little guys looked at the gate not far away together, and sure enough, they saw the gate slowly open, and then a little girl who looked about eleven or twelve years old came out.
The little girl was wearing a black dress and a huge hood that covered her head and face. She looked a little scary at first glance.
Yuan Baoyu couldn't help feeling a little scared and subconsciously hid behind Xiaotuanzi.
Li Suining was also a little scared. She subconsciously looked back, but found that Yuan Xiaonian, who had been standing there blatantly just now, was gone.
She struggled for a bit, but still mustered up the courage to run out.
Seeing this, Yuan Baoyu had no choice but to grit his teeth and follow immediately.
Soon, the girl in black seemed to be startled when she saw the two little guys suddenly appearing.
She subconsciously took a step back, pulled up her hood, and covered her face tightly.
She planned to bypass the two children and go back immediately.
"Miss!" Li Suining immediately chased after her, "Can you help us? We are lost."
Yuan Baoyu stood obediently behind Xiaotuanzi. He knew that Xiaotuanzi was lying, but he did not expose him.
However, his little hands were always grabbing the corner of Li Suining's clothes, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at the mute girl.
The girl in black shook her head, meaning that she could not provide any help.
"Miss!" Little Dumpling couldn't give up. She continued to follow the other party, begging, "Miss, can you please help us? We are coughing. Can we go in and have a glass of water?"
"Ah?" Yuan Baoyu shouted reluctantly to express his opposition.
Li Suining immediately turned around and winked at the little fat boy.
She pulled Yuan Baoyu in front of her and said, "This is the fifth prince. Have you met him? He is thirsty too. Please help us."
Yuan Baoyu shrank his neck tightly, wishing he could run away immediately.
He knew that the mute girl's dark hood was facing him. Perhaps... she could recognize him?
He didn't know and didn't dare to look up to confirm.
Li Suining kept her little head tilted up, waiting for the girl in black to give her an answer.
Even though she was standing so close, she still couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly. The girl's face was hidden in the dark hood. From her angle, it looked like a huge black hole.
She suppressed her fear.
She must figure out who these two people are and whether her father's case is related to them. Only by figuring out all this can she rescue her father and brothers.
Finally, the girl in black nodded and agreed to their request.
The little dumpling immediately turned around and smiled happily at Yuan Baoyu.
Yuan Baoyu looked like he was about to cry, and asked Li Suining in a very low voice, "Are we really going in? But I don't want to drink water."
"Shh!" Little Dumpling quickly warned Yuan Baoyu not to talk nonsense.
She leaned close to the fat boy's ear and whispered, "Don't be afraid, she knows you are the fifth prince and will not hurt us."
After she finished speaking, she nodded heavily. At this moment, she saw Yuan Xiaonian standing not far away from the corner of her eye.
Soon, the girl in black opened the door and stood by it, waiting for them to go in.
Li Suining carefully pulled Yuan Baoyu into the yard.
When the girl in black closed the door, Li Suining looked out through the crack and found that Yuan Xiaonian was gone again.
She guessed that the girl in black had not noticed Yuan Xiaonian's existence from beginning to end.
"Thank you, young lady." She saw the girl in black turn around and immediately spoke sweetly.
The girl was very quiet and made almost no sound when she walked. She was in front, and Li Suining and Yuan Baoyu followed behind.
The palace in front of me was not big, like a small courtyard prepared for the servants in the palace, but it was very clean.
Moreover, Li Suining discovered that there were no maids or eunuchs inside.
Yuan Baoyu soon discovered this. He became more and more frightened and held Li Suining's hand tightly.
The girl in black led them to the front hall. When she walked towards the backyard, Li Suining followed her again, but she immediately stopped to stop her and signaled Li Suining to wait in the front hall.
"Okay, little sister, we'll wait here." Little Tuanzi didn't dare to act rashly, and immediately pulled Yuan Baoyu to find a chair to sit on.
Soon, the girl in black left on her own.
"Let's go quickly, it's so scary here." As soon as the mute girl left, Yuan Baoyu jumped off the chair and pulled Li Suining away.
"No." Li Suining shook her head. She told Yuan Baoyu seriously, "I want to stay, and I may come for a long time in the future."
Yuan Baoyu couldn't understand, "Aren't you scared? That girl looks like a ghost."
"I'm scared." Li Suining didn't lie. "But no matter how scared I am, I'm coming here. There's something I need, and maybe only they can help me with it."
"Whatever it is, I can help you. Father dotes on me so much, he'll agree to anything I ask." Yuan Baoyu just wanted to leave quickly. He pulled Li Suining hard and said, "Let's go. I beg you."
He somewhat regretted bringing Li Suining here.
