Chapter 440 I’m Really Fine, Go Back Quickly
After leaving the palace, Li Suining and Yuan Baoyu were very well-behaved. They held Fuxing's hands on the left and right, and the three of them followed Yuan Xiaonian together.
Along the way, the two little guys talked and laughed, and the group soon left the palace and entered the main street of the imperial city.
"Wow!" Yuan Baoyu was truly stunned by the scene before him. "So many people?"
He felt that he had never seen so many people since he was born. When there were grand ceremonies in the palace, he thought there were already a lot of people, but he didn't expect that there was nothing compared to the number outside the palace walls.
"Yeah, I said it before. Although there are many people in the palace, they are still no match for the people outside the palace."
Li Suining had lived in the palace for so long that he actually missed the daily life.
As more and more people came, Yuan Xiaonian moved his position behind a few people, following and protecting them silently.
The two little guys were very excited, especially Yuan Baoyu. Everything they saw was new to them. They would linger at almost every stall for a while and wanted to buy everything they saw.
Li Suining is obviously much more rational. Not only does he not buy things indiscriminately, he also dissuades people from buying Yuan Baoyu.
Fuxing basically didn't buy anything, but just watched the two children quietly. After all, there were too many people, and if something really happened, she would be in trouble.
"Sister Fuxing," Little Dumpling suddenly saw a beautiful bracelet, "Do you like this?"
Fuxing always wore a black hood and probably didn't have any jewelry on her head, so Xiaotuanzi thought that she could wear a bracelet.
This jade table is clear and moist in color, and is particularly beautiful.
Fuxing seemed to take a look, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head.
"Don't you like it?" Li Suining was a little disappointed. Just for a moment, she thought Sister Fuxing liked this bracelet, but she didn't expect Sister Fuxing to shake her head.
Was her feeling wrong?
Yuan Baoyu had already pulled Fuxing forward. After all, he was a boy and didn't like to look at these jewelries.
Li Suining held the bracelet and asked Yuan Xiaonian behind him, "Brother Xiaonian, doesn't this bracelet look good?"
After leaving the palace, she could no longer call him Second Prince brother.
"It's okay." Yuan Xiaonian's evaluation was neither high nor low, but he saw through the little girl's thoughts, "But... that lucky star should like it."
"Really?" Little Dumpling's eyes lit up instantly. He quickly took out the silver and secretly bought the bracelet, then happily went to chase the person in front.
Yuan Xiaonian looked at her small back and shook his head helplessly.
The group walked around, and soon, the little dumpling began to look careless, looking towards the north from time to time.
"Li Suining, Li Suining, do you think this pony is pretty?" Yuan Baoyu asked her without noticing.
The little girl didn't even look at it, and nodded perfunctorily, "It looks good, it's really good."
"Tsk!" Yuan Baoyu was unhappy. "Li Suining, what's wrong with you? Didn't you want to run out and play too? Why are you unhappy now?"
"No." Little Dumpling quickly shook his head to deny, "I'm not unhappy."
Yuan Xiaonian glanced towards the north and asked in a low voice, "Is the General's Mansion over there?"
Li Suining's eyes suddenly turned red, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Yuan Baoyu also realized something at this time and asked cautiously, "Li Suining, are you missing home?"
Little Dumpling shook her head slightly, then quickly nodded. How could she not miss home?
At this time, people on the street were all buying New Year's goods with their families, but when they thought of the Bai family?
Daddy and my second, fourth, and sixth brothers were in the prison of the Censorate. Mother, along with little eight and nine, and my eldest and third brothers, were confined to the general's residence. And she herself... even if she ran away from the palace, she couldn't see them. How could she not feel sad?
"We..." Yuan Baoyu looked at Yuan Xiaonian tentatively, "We can go..."
"No!" Yuan Xiaonian shattered the fat boy's fantasy without hesitation and said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, there are many people from the Censorate guarding the General's Mansion. If we go in, our escape from the palace will be exposed."
It is obvious how serious the consequences are.
"Okay." The little fat boy couldn't help but feel a little sad. He thought hard and couldn't help but suggest, "Then why don't we go take a look outside? We can go to the gate of the general's mansion and take a look, right?"
This time, Yuan Xiaonian did not object, and several people looked at Li Suining.
"No need." Little Dumpling wiped his tears vigorously and tried to smile. "Really, no need. I'm fine. We should go back after playing for a while. Don't... waste time going to my house."
"It's okay." Yuan Baoyu was still young, but he couldn't stand seeing girls cry. "I've bought everything I wanted. Those two..."
He glanced at Yuan Xiaonian and Fuxing and said confidently, "They don't need to buy anything."
"Really." Li Suining was still very persistent. She didn't want to trouble everyone, so she took Fuxing and the fat boy's hands and said, "Then let's go back to the palace. Otherwise, if we stay out for too long, it will be bad if we are discovered."
Yuan Baoyu was still a little scared. After all, he was young and it was the first time he did such a bold thing.
But he still had the courage to confirm with Li Suining again, "Really? Are you sure you want to go back?"
The little dumpling nodded affirmatively.
The group started walking back again. This time, the two little guys were silent and no one spoke.
After leaving the main street, Li Suining suddenly burst into tears.
"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Baoyu was a little anxious. "Are you homesick again? How about we go to the General's Mansion?"
The little girl cried until she was out of breath. She shook her head and said incoherently, "I... I just saw my mother."
"Ah?" Yuan Baoyu was stunned. "Your mother shouldn't..."
"No, not the mother from the General's Mansion, but the mother from the Jiang family and the Grand Tutor's Mansion." The little dumpling said pitifully.
She just watched from afar as her mother and grandfather were shopping. Both of them looked listless and had lost a lot of weight.
She felt so distressed.
Yuan Baoyu scratched his head. "You actually have two mothers. How lucky you are. But, now that you see your mother, why don't you go over and say hello?"
Little Dumpling shook her head. She didn't want to cause trouble. "Let's go back to the palace."
Yuan Xiaonian nodded, glanced at the quiet Fuxing, and said meaningfully, "Actually, there is someone who can help you go home for the New Year. It depends on whether she is willing."
"Who?" Yuan Baoyu widened his eyes, completely unaware of who Yuan Xiaonian was talking about.
"Brother Xiaonian!" Li Suining understood and shook his head at him, "It's really okay with me. Let's go back to the palace quickly."
On the way, she took out the bracelet and handed it to Fuxing, "Sister Fuxing, this is for you, a New Year's gift!"
"What about me?" the little fat man asked anxiously, "Li Suining, where is my gift?"
