Chapter 64 We must find a solution that satisfies both sides
Bai Qing'an looked at Li Suining and said, "Before I left on the 11th, my sister came to see me again."
"Hehe!" The little dumpling squinted his eyes happily.
Bai Ruian was so happy that he cried. He excitedly grabbed Li Suining's shoulders and said, "Sister, how did you do it? How did you convince big brother?"
The little dumpling scratched his head in confusion, looking like he didn't know what was going on.
Bai Qingan couldn't help but laugh, and he picked up Li Suining and put him on his knees, saying with a smile, "This little guy asked me a question."
"What's the problem?" The fourth, fifth and sixth brothers all had question marks in their heads at this time, and they were obviously extremely curious.
Bai Qingan said slowly, "She said, 'Big Brother, if you know the questions in advance, it's cheating, it's wrong.' Then, if I ask Xingxing every day what will happen in the future, isn't that cheating every day?"
The fourth and other two were stunned for a moment. Obviously, they had never thought about this problem, but this... seemed to be the case.
"Then what?" Bai Ruian asked anxiously again.
Bai Qing'an curled his lips, "My sister said she has no regrets and she is very happy that she has this ability. She didn't hurt anyone, she just wanted to protect the people she loves. She doesn't think she did anything wrong."
Bai Shian and others' eyes instantly turned red, and they looked at the little guy with some emotion.
Indeed, since discovering Li Suining's abilities, the child has never sought any benefits for herself. She has always been busy with her family and protecting everyone in the general's mansion.
"Sister, you are the best sister!" Bai Shian wiped his tears and said proudly.
"Yes, Suining is the best sister," Bai Qing'an said with a guilty look on his face, "I, your eldest brother... almost let all your efforts go to waste. I apologize to you all!"
He put Li Suining on the ground, then stood up and bowed solemnly to his younger brothers and sisters.
"Big brother!" Li Suining said in a baby voice, "Big brother, you are the best big brother, so you don't need to apologize to us."
"That's right, big brother has always been our role model, and we are proud of him!" Bai Shian said in a firm tone.
"Alright, there's only one exam left," Bai Ruian said, pinching his waist proudly. "Tell those bastards from the Prime Minister's Mansion to come over!"
Bai Qingan immediately shook his head in warning, "Old Five, stop talking nonsense."
Bai Ruian stuck out his tongue and said, "No matter who the troublemaker is, I believe the person behind him must be someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Seeing Bai Qingan looking at him displeased, he immediately assured him, "Okay, I get it. I won't say anything nonsense."
There are three exams, and only the last one is left on the 15th. The little guys know in their hearts that this will be a tough battle. Those bad guys will definitely do their best to prevent Bai Qingan from getting a good result. But no one knows what other means they have.
Finally, it was dark and Li Suining stood in the middle of the yard again, looking at the stars quietly.
This time, she saw a fire that burned Bai Qingan and the test papers of dozens of others. The most worrying thing was that she didn't even see who set the fire or how it was set.
"What should I do? The fire is so big." The little guy stamped his feet anxiously.
"We can go find Master Jiang," Bai Shi'an said first. "We can tell him that we've heard rumors that someone is going to set fire to the Imperial Examination Hall and burn the examinees' papers. We want him to ask the court for troops to strengthen the guard."
You Zhu on the side said coldly, "If I had known that the Imperial Examination Hall had increased its security, I wouldn't have chosen to set it on fire. I would have found another way. In any case, I would have to destroy someone's scroll."
"Yes." Bai Ruian nodded in agreement. "By then, we will be caught off guard and won't be able to help Big Brother."
"What should we do then?" Bai Shian was extremely anxious.
Little Dumpling said tentatively, "Can we have Big Brother give his paper to Grandpa after he finishes the test? That way, the bad guys won't have the chance to destroy Big Brother's paper."
Bai Shian couldn't help but nodded in agreement, "Sister's method is feasible, but we have to convince Mr. Jiang."
"I'll go and convince the old man." Little Dumpling said confidently.
"Sister, your method is indeed good," Bai Rui'an patted the little guy's head in appreciation, "but, this way, we have lost a good opportunity to catch this person, which may be our only chance."
Several people fell silent again.
"Let's go tell big brother first and see what he wants to do." Bai Ruian suggested.
The group went to find Bai Qing'an again and told him about the fire.
"How outrageous!" Bai Qing'an was clearly furious. "How could they do such a thing? Those are scores of people's papers, and their futures are at stake. How dare they be so bold?"
He couldn't help but slammed the table and said, "No matter what, we must find a way to catch this person and make them pay the price."
Sure enough, Bai Qing'an didn't want to let that person go unpunished.
Everyone started discussing again, trying to find a win-win solution that would both protect the rolls of paper of these people and catch the lunatic who dared to set fire to the Imperial Examination Hall.
Finally, they finally came up with a solution, but whether this solution would succeed depended entirely on Li Suining.
——
The next day, at dawn, Li Suining was sent to Jiang's house.
"Grandpa," Little Tuanzi, who had become a regular here, carried a food box almost as tall as herself and went straight to Jiang Heci's study, "Grandpa, I brought you my favorite snacks."
Jiang Heci practices calligraphy and reads books every morning, and this has not changed for decades.
He still held the brush in his hand, looking at Tuanzi who appeared at the door, and raised the corner of his mouth silently, "Why are you, this little troublemaker, here again? You have something to ask of me again?"
"Hehe, I missed grandpa, so I came to see him specially." Li Suining walked into the study room with a lunch box in his hand.
She didn't know that she was the only one who dared to bring food into Mr. Jiang's study.
She carefully opened the food box, took out all the food, and placed it on the table. She excitedly turned around and called out to Jiang Heci, "Grandpa, come and eat!"
"Okay!" Jiang Heci shook his head helplessly, put down his pen, walked over and sat down at the table.
The food on the table was all so sweet that it made your teeth ache. The old man didn't like it. He looked at Tuanzi helplessly and asked, "Are you here to bring me food, or are you bringing your own food to eat here?"
Li Suining paused in his climb up the chair, raised his head, and looked at Jiang Heci pitifully, "Grandpa, don't you like these?"
Jiang Heci was visibly stunned, a distant scene flashing before his eyes. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Little guy, you said...your mother died shortly after you were born?"
