Chapter 72 We are still good friends, right?
Bai Qing'an entered the Eastern Palace, Bai Shi'an went to the military camp, Bai Ruian and You Zhu went to school every day. In a blink of an eye, only Li Suining and the two little guys were left in the general's mansion.
Li Suining would act cute with his younger siblings for a while every day, and the rest of the time he had to spend by himself.
She often went to Jiang's house to find Mr. Jiang. The old man and the young girl made a good companion.
That day, after Li Suining finished seeing Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu, he went to Jiang's house again. But before he saw Mr. Jiang, he heard that Miss Jiang had returned.
"Grandpa Jiang's daughter?" Little Dumpling widened his eyes in curiosity.
"Yes." The servant nodded. "It's in the front hall. If you want to see our master, you'll probably have to wait a while."
"Then...can I go and see Miss Jiang?" Li Suining had heard from Wei Ranzhu that Miss Jiang was a top-notch beauty, and she had always wanted to see her.
"Well..." The servant thought about it and felt that it was not a big problem. "I think it's okay. You can hide in the dark and take a peek. Just don't disturb the conversation between the father and daughter."
"Okay, thank you, little brother. I will definitely not disturb them." Li Suining tiptoed to the front hall.
The servant smiled and shook his head. This little girl looked so much like the eldest lady when she was a child, so everyone in the Jiang family loved her very much, especially Old Master Jiang, who almost wanted to snatch her away from the general's mansion and raise her himself.
Little Dumpling quickly ran to the back of the front hall and walked in quietly. She faintly heard voices inside and couldn't help but chuckle.
She sneaked behind the screen in the front hall, carefully stuck her head out, and when she saw the woman not far away, she was stunned for a moment.
The woman is really beautiful. Unlike my mother, she has that kind of delicate beauty. Her every frown and smile makes people unable to take their eyes off her.
Little Dumpling felt his heart was beating so fast, as if it was about to jump out.
She quickly retracted her head, crouching behind the screen, somewhat confused about her own reaction.
At this time, the voice of Mr. Jiang in the front hall rose a few notches and came through with exceptional clarity, "If you came here today just to tell me this, then you're done and can leave."
The old man was obviously a little excited.
"Dad, why do you have to go against Shan Zhang?" Jiang Yinyue's voice could be heard clearly. "Besides, you and that... child named Li Suining, you... are so close to a child... If you want someone to keep you company, I can bring An An here more often in the future."
"Haha..." Jiang Heci sneered, "No need. I'm very happy to have Sui Ning accompany me. As for you and your An An, just enjoy your life in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Don't worry about me."
"Dad, all these years, check your conscience. Have I ever ignored you?" Jiang Yinyue looked weak, but when they really started arguing, she seemed very stubborn. "It was you who insisted on severing ties with me back then. It was also you who kept me from going home for so many years. Why... do you blame me?"
"So even now, you still think that I'm wrong? Am I getting senile and confused?" Jiang Heci seemed extremely angry.
Li Suining stood up again and stretched her little head to look. She saw Jiang Yinyue secretly wiping her tears.
"Go away, you are not welcome here!" Jiang Heci said this, without even looking at his daughter, turned around and strode away.
When he walked behind the screen, he saw Xiaotuanzi and a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.
He paused for a moment, then continued walking out. Seeing that Li Suining hadn't caught up with him, he asked in a deep voice, "Why? Are you here to look for her?"
When little Tuanzi saw Jiang Yinyue looking at her, she quickly retracted her little head, stood up and chased Jiang Heci.
Jiang Heci left very quickly, and it was obvious that he was still angry.
"Grandpa Jiang, wait for me." Li Suining moved his calves very quickly, but he still couldn't keep up with Jiang Heci.
Fortunately, Jiang Heci heard her words and deliberately slowed down, obviously waiting for her.
"Grandpa Jiang, doesn't your daughter let you play with me?" Little Dumpling chased after him, raised his little head, and asked pitifully.
Jiang Heci laughed and said, "Yes."
Jiang Yinyue reminded him of those things just now. It was obvious that the Prime Minister's Mansion was targeting the General's Mansion. Little Tuanzi was still young and didn't understand these things, but I believe Bai Yunfeng should have felt the pressure.
"Why?" Li Suining didn't understand. "Did I do something wrong?"
As for why, Jiang Heci knew it clearly in his mind.
First and foremost, Bai Qing'an snatched the job of the prince's tutor, which should have been prepared by Zuo Shanzhang for Zuo Sixian. Secondly... many officials involved in the Imperial Examination Hall incident were Zuo Shanzhang's followers. Obviously, they also blamed the General's Mansion for this.
As for whether there were other reasons, Jiang Heci didn't know, but he always felt that the guys in the Prime Minister's Mansion seemed to particularly hate Xiaotuanzi.
Why?
Jiang Heci didn't understand. The little guy following him was obviously well-behaved and sensible, and there was no reason for him to dislike him.
"It has nothing to do with you." He gritted his teeth in anger when he thought of his disappointing daughter. "She herself has always been unable to judge people and distinguish good from bad."
Li Suining stood still. "Then Grandpa Jiang shouldn't be angry with her. When she sees the truth, she will know that Suining is a good child."
She ran over, stood on tiptoe, and took Jiang Heci's big hand, "Then Grandpa Jiang, we are still good friends, right?"
She looked pitiful and said, "Now, my brothers are all gone, and only Grandpa Jiang is here to play with me."
"Hahaha..." Jiang Heci finally laughed out loud and gently pinched the little dumpling's nose. "Don't worry, we are still good friends. Grandpa Jiang will continue to play with you."
"Thank you, Grandpa Jiang, you are so nice!" Li Suining clapped his hands happily.
Jiang Heci couldn't help but say, "Then why don't you stay with grandpa tonight and not go back?"
"No!" Little Tuanzi shook his head. "If I don't go home, Mom and Dad will worry. Besides, my fifth and sixth brothers will miss me after school. Don't worry, Grandpa Jiang. I'll come find you after they go to school."
"Little brat!" Jiang Heci knew that he was too greedy, but every time he saw Xiao Suining, it was as if he saw Xiao Yueyue.
He really missed the time when his daughter was little, when he could hold her in his arms every day and take her to buy candied haws... But now... Jiang Heci couldn't help but have a headache.
In the evening, Li Suining returned home early. When she saw Bai Ruian and You Zhu, she rushed over happily, "Fifth brother, Sixth brother, you are finally back."
Unexpectedly, both brothers were reluctant to pay attention to him.
Bai Ruian looked thoughtful. "Did I really see it wrong? But that back view really looks like Third Brother, right?"
"Who knows?" You Zhu spread his hands. "Maybe everyone looks the same when they sit in a wheelchair."
Li Suining couldn't help but widen his eyes. Could it be that the fifth and sixth brothers also saw the third brother?
