Chapter 79 General Bai seems to know nothing about this
Qingyun hurried to find Xiao Wu again.
"What's wrong again?" Xiao Wu was obviously very impatient. Today, Qingyun came to ask for his advice more times than ever before.
"Master, Miss Seven..." Qingyun sighed deeply, "She said that if you don't see her today, she won't leave. She even asked that maid Caiyue to go back and deliver a letter to the General's Mansion!"
"That girl hasn't left yet?" Xiao Wu was slightly surprised. At this moment, he really had a new respect for that girl.
He hesitated for a moment before saying coldly, "Bring her here. I want to see if there's anything important that requires her to see me."
"Yes, Master, I'll go right away." Qingyun turned around and ran out, obviously he had been waiting impatiently.
Soon, the little dumpling came.
"Third brother!" As soon as he entered the door, the little guy ran forward and threw himself on Xiao Wu's knees as if he had seen a long-lost relative.
She tilted her head back, her clear eyes full of innocence, "Third brother, why don't you see me? We haven't seen each other for so many days, don't you miss me?"
Xiao Wu seemed to have been struck by acupuncture. He was motionless and even forgot to breathe.
Suddenly, a suppressed low laugh came from the side. It was Qingyun.
"Get out!" Xiao Wu was furious and felt like he was being laughed at.
He took the fan and used the other end of the fan to push the little ball away, "Stay away from me."
Seeing that the little dumpling was about to come up to him again, he hurriedly said in a cold voice, "Stand still, stand right there, or I'll knock you out and send you away again."
"Oh." Li Suining stood up reluctantly, looking at the distance between herself and Xiao Wu. There was still enough space for an adult to stand there. She asked in a baby voice, "Third brother, can I take a step forward? I want to be closer to you, just a little bit."
Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel a headache. This little guy was too clingy. "No, stand still, or I'll knock you out."
"Okay." The little guy sighed helplessly like a little adult, hung his head, and looked unhappy.
Xiao Wu tried his best to ignore Tuanzi's dissatisfaction and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to see me for?"
"What does third brother want to do?" Unexpectedly, Li Suining threw the question back.
Xiao Wu frowned, not understanding what this ball meant.
Li Suining continued, "Will Third Brother come home with me after he finishes what he wants to do?"
Xiao Wu continued to remain silent, but his brows furrowed even deeper.
"Then whatever Third Brother wants to do, I can help you." Little Dumpling puffed out his chest, looking all-powerful. "After that, I can go home with Third Brother."
Xiao Wu understood. He naturally didn't think a three or four-year-old kid could really help him. He was just a little curious...
"Li Suining, today is only the second time we've met. Why do you insist on me going home with you?"
Li Suining said as if it was a matter of course, "You are my third brother, we are a family, why shouldn't I want to go home with you?"
Xiao Wu's expression changed slightly, and he looked away and said, "Your last name is Li, and mine is Xiao. In the final analysis, we are not a family."
"Nonsense!" Little Dumpling stomped her feet in anger. She learned these two words from Jiang Heci.
She asked confidently, "You are the Third Young Master of the General's Mansion, and I am the Seventh Young Miss of the General's Mansion. Your father is also my father, and my mother is also your mother. We just have different surnames. How can we not be a family?"
Xiao Wu moved his wheelchair, turned his back to Li Suining, and slowly said, "Yes, we are all children of the General's Mansion, so everything we do must be based on the interests of the General's Mansion."
Li Suining tilted his head, not quite understanding what was meant.
"Okay, you can go back." Xiao Wu spoke again, his voice much calmer.
"No, I can't go back yet, I have to stay..." Before the little dumpling could finish his words, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and fainted again.
At this time, Xiao Wu had turned around again, and this time, he used some sleeping pills.
"Qingyun!" he called out, and Qingyun came in immediately. "Send them out, and have them go down the mountain immediately."
"Yes, Sect Master." Qingyun carefully picked up the little girl, turned around and went out, handing her to Caiyue, "Miss Caiyue, take Miss Seven down the mountain, it's getting dark."
Caiyue saw Li Suining fainted again, and her face suddenly turned unfriendly and asked, "Who are you? Is your master really a friend of our young lady?"
"This..." Qingyun didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say vaguely, "You should wait until Miss Seven wakes up and ask her what happened."
He apologized with an apologetic look on his face, "Miss Caiyue, goodbye!"
Caiyue snorted, carried Li Suining onto the horse, and left quickly.
"Oh!" Qingyun sighed helplessly. It was the first time he realized why his sect leader was so annoying.
He shook his head and went back. The little guest finally left and they had to talk about some serious business.
"Master, news has been sent back from the court." Qingyun continued with a serious expression, "Zuo Shanzhang has been gathering forces to target the General's Mansion and wants to drive it out of the imperial city. However... General Bai seems to be completely unaware of this."
Xiao Wu frowned. He was not surprised by this situation.
His father was once Bai Yunfeng's adjutant. When he was seven years old, his father died. He followed Bai Yunfeng into the general's mansion and became the third young master of the general's mansion.
Afterwards, he followed Bai Yunfeng all the way, fighting east and west, until...
Xiao Wu knew his father's character very well. Bai Yunfeng was brave and good at fighting. He was brave and resourceful on the battlefield and invincible, but in the court... he never regarded any colleague as an enemy and did not guard against anyone. If the Da Jin Dynasty had not been inseparable from him, he would have died countless times.
He sighed softly and said slowly, "What did they find out about the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
"That's quite a big gain." Qingyun's eyes lit up. "The Prime Minister's son, who had been missing for three years, has been found. Guess what? His previous name was Li Chang'an..."
Xiao Wu was also shocked. Li Changan, this name... he seemed to have heard it somewhere.
Qingyun continued, "Master, this Li Changan... is none other than Miss Seven's former brother, and also Li Tianfu's son."
Xiao Wu's expression became more complicated, and his furrowed brows showed that he was thinking.
"Li Chang'an and that Qian have been saying a lot of bad things about Miss Seven since they entered the Prime Minister's Mansion." Qingyun sneered, "According to them, Miss Seven is Li Tianfu's illegitimate daughter who was left alone, and Li Chang'an is the son of the twins born to Jiang Yinyue. The other daughter... died long ago."
Xiao Wu raised the black fan in his hand and said, "Interesting, go on."
