Chapter 93 I Will Definitely Help My Brother
Jiang Heci laughed in his heart. He naturally understood what Xiaotuanzi meant, and he also knew that this little guy had been thinking about this matter.
He glanced at his daughter who was still stunned and said gently, "Go in first."
Jiang Yinyue followed quietly behind, the image of the child just now kept appearing in her mind, and she couldn't help but smile a little more.
When they arrived at the front hall, the father and daughter sat down. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. After all, it was here that they had quarreled again.
Jiang Yinyue knew in her heart that her father had been disappointed in her since the day she married Zuo Shanzhang.
She no longer dared to ask for her father's love or forgiveness, but only hoped that her father could spend his old age in peace.
She thought about it and finally decided to take the initiative to speak, "Dad, yesterday... did you meet An An at the market?"
This one sentence brought back memories that Jiang Heci didn't like, and his face instantly darkened. However, thinking of Xiaotuanzi's good intentions, he controlled his temper and nodded, "Yes!"
"Dad, I know that many of An An's current behaviors are not in accordance with the rules, but after all, he has been wandering outside for three years and has suffered so many grievances. We should be more tolerant of him. You scolded him in the market in front of so many people..." Jiang Yinyue sighed helplessly.
Jiang Heci could no longer tolerate it and asked angrily, "I scolded him? Did your precious son tell you what he did at the market yesterday?"
Jiang Yinyue frowned. "He's just a four-year-old. Even if he did something wrong, we adults can go home and correct him. Dad, even children need to maintain their dignity."
"Want to save face?" Jiang Heci slammed the table and stood up. "I think his heart is almost broken. What's the point of saving face?"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was angry at Zuo Wen'an for being so ignorant, and also angry at his daughter for not being able to distinguish right from wrong. "Did you know that he had those lackeys beat up a child his own age yesterday?"
"Hahaha..." Jiang Heci sneered, "What a coincidence! You've also seen that child. It's the little one who just wanted to reunite with you and me. How old is she? If I hadn't shown up in time, those bastards in the Prime Minister's Mansion wouldn't have shown any mercy. Would they have beaten her to death?"
Jiang Yinyue widened her eyes in disbelief. Zuo Wen'an and Qian had not mentioned these things yesterday. This... was really too much.
However, she couldn't blame the child in front of her old father at the moment, otherwise Jiang Heci would only become more aggressive and might be even harsher on Zuo Wen'an next time... Jiang Yinyue couldn't help but shudder when she thought of Zuo Shanzhang's methods.
She wants to protect her father.
"Dad, no matter what, An An is only four years old. He may not be able to imagine the consequences of some things. I will slowly teach him in the future." Jiang Yinyue lowered his eyes, "You... just don't worry about it from now on."
"Good, very good, very good!" The old tutor laughed in anger. "You're right, I'm meddling in other people's business. Since I don't acknowledge you as my daughter, then what does Zuo Wen'an look like to me?"
"Dad, you know that's not what I meant." Jiang Yinyue wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.
After a long moment, she could only sigh and then asked with concern, "By the way, Dad, you haven't been in contact with the people in the General's Mansion recently, right?"
Ever since the prince's tutor was chosen to be the son of the Bai family, she always heard some rumors in the prime minister's mansion that Zuo Shanzhang was going to take action against the general's mansion.
After hearing this, Jiang Heci was so angry that he was speechless.
He was even too lazy to remind Jiang Yinyue that the little ball just now came from the general's mansion that she had warned him not to visit.
After being married to Zuo Shanzhang for so many years, his kind, smart and decisive daughter may have really changed, and even he doesn't recognize her as her father.
"Go away!" Jiang Heci turned around disappointedly, his back to Jiang Yinyue, "Don't come here again!"
"Dad!" Jiang Yinyue didn't care that her father wanted to drive her away, but she couldn't let her father become an enemy of the old fox Zuo Shanzhang.
She pleaded, "Dad, please listen to my advice and stay away from the people in the General's Mansion, okay?"
"Let's go!" Jiang Heci didn't want to listen anymore. He left with a single word and took the lead.
"Dad..." Looking at her father's aging figure, Jiang Yinyue wiped away her tears and her eyes gradually became firm. No matter what, this time, she would stand firmly on her father's side. If Zuo Shanzhang really dared to do anything to her father, she would definitely not stand idly by.
It is better to die with honor than to live in disgrace.
Her life had long been ruined by Zuo Shanzhang and Lou. At worst, she would die with them.
——
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zuo Sixian learned from a servant what happened at the market yesterday, and he gave the other party ten taels of silver.
"You did a great job. You know, I asked you to report An An's situation to me because I care about him and I'm afraid he'll go astray. After all, I'm his eldest brother."
The servant was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I understand. The eldest master is very thoughtful. The young master will understand it in the future."
"Go." Zuo Sixian waved his hand.
He turned and walked towards Zuo Shanzhang's study.
He had never thought that his grandfather had been in contact with Li Suining for such a long time. Could it be that...his grandfather knew something? But he felt it was unlikely.
But no matter what, he felt that Jiang Heci should not help the people in the General's Mansion. After all, Bai Qing'an stole his job as the prince's companion, and the Bai family should pay the price for it.
"Brother, you're here!" Zuo Jiali, who had been waiting in the yard, saw Zuo Sixian and immediately came forward with a smile. "Brother, what are you thinking about? You look so worried."
"Alas!" Zuo Sixian sighed, "Did you hear? Yesterday, my grandfather scolded An An in the street because of Li Suining. This is really..."
"What?" Zuo Jiali yelled instantly, "Grandpa is getting senile? Why is he always helping outsiders? It's okay if he doesn't like us brothers, but An An is his own grandson, why is he still like this?"
Zuo Sixian shook his head helplessly. "Forget it. There's no point in getting angry. Maybe that Li Suining is really good at pleasing people. Didn't you say last time that the kid called you Brother Zuo Er, and weren't you very happy too?"
"That's different." Zuo Jiali couldn't accept it. "An An is indeed ignorant, but he is our biological brother after all. If he and Li Suining really had to fight, I would definitely side with my biological brother."
He pushed open the study door and said in a low voice, "Brother, we can't just let this go. I'll tell father and let him make the decision!"
"Dad," Zuo Jiali said with a look of grievance as he entered the study. "The people in the General's Mansion are so shameless, especially that Li Suining. It's really as Qian and An An said, a villain. Now she has deceived my grandfather and even scolded my brother for her!"
