Chapter 9 I Want to Stay Here to Guard My Sister
The general's mansion was extremely busy that night.
Bai Yunfeng personally led people up the mountain to rescue people, while Wei Ranzhu stayed at home to take care of the two children.
Fortunately, Bai Shi'an's leg was not seriously injured. After examining him, Wen Yuanzhang prescribed some medicine and told him to lie in bed and rest for half a month.
But he had no place to lie down. He limped to Li Suining's place, leaning on a wooden stick.
He knew that if Li Suining had not kept telling him about the danger, he would not have been so cautious during the day and the consequences would definitely have been more serious.
Li Suining had just recovered a little when he got caught in the rain. He developed a high fever as soon as he got home. He was talking nonsense and kept shouting for his fourth brother not to go riding.
Bai Shian stood at the door listening, wishing he could slap himself a few times. He was too embarrassed to go in, so he just stood guard at the door.
In the second half of the night, the high fever finally subsided and Li Suining fell asleep due to weakness.
As soon as Wei Ranzhu went out, she saw her fourth son looking at her with a guilty look on his face. She walked over and touched Bai Shian's head, "Don't worry, sister is fine."
"Mother..." Bai Shi'an's voice choked as he spoke, "I'm sorry, it's my fault that Sui Ning was harmed."
After all, he was just a thirteen-year-old boy. If he did something wrong, he would be afraid and blame himself.
He just didn't want anyone to replace Bai Mianmian, and didn't want everyone to forget Mianmian.
"Be good, it's okay. Sui Ning won't be angry with you." Wei Ranzhu looked at his fourth son seriously. "Are you willing to accept this sister now?"
Bai Shian still hesitated for a moment, and asked sadly, "Mianmian...you will never come back, right?"
Wei Ranzhu's nose also soured when Bai Mianmian was mentioned. She touched her son's head again, "Maybe she has come back? It's just that she has changed her identity and name, but her love for us will not change."
Bai Shi'an was stunned for a moment. He instantly understood what Wei Ranzhu said and felt as if struck by lightning.
Yes, if Mianmian were alive, she would also be three years old. She would smile as soon as she saw herself and would chase after herself, calling her “Fourth Brother” and “Fourth Brother” non-stop.
He was so stupid, he almost killed his sister again.
"Okay, the imperial physician said your knee needs rest, so go back quickly." Wei Ranzhu urged.
"Mom, I'm not going back. I want to stay here and take care of my sister." Bai Shi'an said firmly, "Just like I took care of Mianmian before! Mom, please let me stay!"
Wei Ranzhu thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Okay, then I'll ask the maid to tidy up the soft couch inside, and you can rest on it."
"Thank you, mother. You should go and have some rest." Bai Shi'an said as he glanced at Wei Ranzhu's belly. "I think my brother is tired too."
"Huh?" Wei Ranzhu was slightly surprised. From the very beginning, Bai Shian firmly believed that she was pregnant with a little girl this time. Why did he change his mind now?
Bai Shian smiled and said, "Sui Ning said that you are pregnant with a little brother, and I believe her."
Although he didn't know the reason, he felt that it was no coincidence that Li Suining predicted that they would fall off the horse. This sister seemed to be a little special.
"Be good and go in." Wei Ranzhu didn't care too much.
Maybe before, she really hoped to have another daughter, but now that she has Xiao Suining, she feels very content.
——
At noon the next day, Bai Yunfeng finally returned.
He sent all the rescued people back to their respective homes, then went to the palace in person to report the matter before returning in a hurry.
He changed into clean clothes and immediately prepared to go see the two children, but was stopped by the gatekeeper.
"General, there's a woman outside claiming to be the young lady's mother. She said she heard the young lady got caught in the rain and wants to visit her."
"Qian?" Bai Yunfeng didn't expect this woman to come. It seemed that she had heard about what happened in front of the rice shop yesterday.
Considering that Qian was Li Suining's stepmother after all, he nodded in agreement, "Okay."
However, when he thought of the injuries Li Suining had sustained a few days ago, he felt he had to teach her a lesson. "Tell her to wait in Wangyue Tower, on the top floor!"
"Yes." The servant responded and left, already understanding what his master meant.
——
At the gate of the general's mansion, Qian's face was full of anticipation, carrying a basket filled with a dozen of Li Suining's favorite eggs.
But in the past, this little bitch was only fit to pick up the egg crumbs dropped by Li Changan on the ground and eat them.
Early this morning, she went to the rice shop to buy rice, and heard the clerk inside say that Xiao Suining was abandoned there yesterday.
Ever since Li Suining was taken away by Bai Yunfeng, she has been planning when to take Li Suining back and then let Li Changan enter the general's mansion.
But every time she came to the gate of the general's mansion and looked at the tall and majestic door lintel, her legs became weak.
But things are different now. Since they left Li Suining in the rice shop, it means they no longer want this little bitch. She took the initiative to come and pick up Li Suining. The General's Mansion should thank her. It will be natural to adopt Li Changan at that time.
The more Qian thought about it, the happier she became. When the servant came back, she didn't notice the cold hatred in his eyes at all, and happily followed him into the general's mansion.
As soon as she entered the gate, she was shocked and her eyes widened: This general's mansion is so big and beautiful.
Thinking that her son would soon move in and would definitely take her in later, she couldn't help but get excited and spoke warmly to the servant, "How many people are there in our general's mansion?"
"General, Madam, there are six young masters," the servant said in a softer tone, "and a young lady."
"Young lady? You are talking about that bitch Li Suining..." It seems that this servant is still not aware of the situation.
Qian sneered and lowered her voice, "What little lady? She won't be soon. I'll take her back today."
Her tone was full of sarcasm. "Let me tell you, I know exactly what kind of girl I raised is, and I dare not bring disgrace upon the General's Mansion. Besides, if the General's Mansion wants to repay their kindness, they should adopt our Chang'an, right?"
She was delighted when she thought of what the servant had just said: the general had six sons. This meant that the general liked boys.
"Our Chang'an has been smart and kind since he was young. He is only three years old now, but he plays the wooden sword so coolly. The fortune teller said that he is destined to be a general!" Qian was complacent.
The servant gritted his teeth in hatred. He saw clearly what Li Suining looked like when he was brought back. Qian and her son were simply beasts!
He was too lazy to pay attention to Qian and quickened his pace.
"Slow down, please slow down." Qian tightly gripped the basket in her hand and almost ran, "Where did General Bai ask me to wait?"
"Just ahead." The servant pointed casually.
Qian looked up and saw a very tall pavilion not far away, which looked extremely luxurious.
It was the first time she saw such a tall house. She had heard that dignitaries always hosted guests in high-rise buildings, and the taller the building, the more important it was.
Does this mean that the general values me very much?
She became more and more proud and her steps became much faster.
