Chapter 162 Does the Second Son of the Bai Family Dislike You?
"Zuo Shanzhang..." The Jin Emperor, who had been silent until then, finally spoke, "You truly disappoint me."
"Your Majesty!" Zuo Shanzhang was shocked. He didn't expect Yuan Tianchen to react like this. "Your Majesty, honest advice is unpleasant to the ear. I speak from the bottom of my heart, and every word is truly for Your Majesty's consideration!"
"That's enough!" Yuan Tianchen's face was livid. "I know full well how loyal General Bai and the Bai family army are to the Great Jin. You don't need to continue trying to sow discord. I don't want to hear it."
"Your Majesty, Bai Yunfeng's achievements surpass yours, and now he has joined forces with the old Grand Tutor's disciples. We must be on guard!" Zuo Shanzhang cried bitterly.
"Shut up!" Yuan Tianchen picked up the teacup and immediately smashed it over. "Zuo Shanzhang, don't think I dare not touch you. If you say another word, I will... chop off your head immediately."
"Your Majesty!" Zuo Shanzhang burst into tears, but he did not force Yuan Tianchen anymore. He knew that Bai Yunfeng had always been too loyal, so... if nothing happened, the emperor would not easily suspect the Bai family.
He wiped his tears and said, "Your Majesty, since you don't want to listen, I... will not say anything more. But I beg Your Majesty, no matter what, please don't forget what I just said. This is... a death warning."
He knelt again, "I know that the emperor will not kill me, but I don't have the face to continue serving as prime minister..."
"That's enough." Yuan Tianchen interrupted Zuo Shanzhang. "I asked you to come to the palace just to show it to the old tutor. I won't really behead you or dismiss you from office. You don't need to play any tricks on yourself."
Zuo Shanzhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I am terrified."
"But, we can't just pretend and do nothing." Yuan Tianchen knocked on the table. "Forget about Zuo Sixian's official position. In addition, he and Zuo Jiali will not be allowed to take the imperial examinations for three years. Is that acceptable?"
"It's my fault for not educating my son well." Zuo Shanzhang was naturally willing to accept it.
"As for you," Yuan Tianchen sighed, "for three months, you should reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors and divide up the things you are doing."
"Your Majesty..." Zuo Shanzhang was a little anxious. Yuan Tianchen's actions were equivalent to indirectly revoking his power.
"I've made up my mind, let's do it." Yuan Tianchen waved his hand, stood up and prepared to leave, "You go back and stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I'm going to see the Queen."
Zuo Shanzhang gritted his teeth, but had to accept the result, "Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell!"

Near noon, the old tutor Jiang Heci was also released, and Jiang Yinyue and Li Suining were waiting outside.
As soon as the old man came out, the little girl immediately ran over and threw herself into his arms, "Grandpa, Suining missed you so much."
"A Ning, good boy. Grandpa misses you too." Jiang Heci's eyes reddened as he looked at his daughter and granddaughter. "Good children, you did very well. I heard everything."
He picked up Li Suining, stood up, and patted his daughter's arm with a look of satisfaction on his face. "Well done, Dad. I'm proud of you."
"Dad!" Jiang Yinyue burst into tears instantly and walked forward to hug Jiang Heci gently, "Dad, you have suffered."
"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Heci smiled and pinched Li Suining's nose. "I heard that our Aning is now the Suining County Master. Wow, that's really amazing."
"Hehe..." The little girl tilted her head happily, "I'm the county lady, and my grandfather is the county lady's grandfather. My grandfather is also very impressive."
"Hahaha..." Jiang Heci burst into laughter instantly.
The group returned to the Jiang residence together. From then on, Jiang Yinyue moved back completely. The three of them had lunch together. Little Tuanzi stayed with the old man for a while, and Jiang Yinyue prepared to send her back to the general's mansion.
"Go." Although the old tutor was extremely reluctant, he also knew in his heart that the general's mansion was the home in the little dumpling's heart.
He touched the little guy's round head and said, "Remember, come back and visit grandpa often."
"Well, don't worry, grandpa. I will definitely come to bother you often." The little dumpling said with a smile, and his expression was naughty and cute.
Jiang Yinyue took Li Suining to the carriage. On the way, she couldn't help but say with concern, "Aning, if you are not happy living in the general's mansion, you can come back to the Jiang family at any time. There will always be a room reserved for you here."
"Mom, I'm doing fine in the general's mansion. I'm not unhappy." The little girl tilted her head in confusion, not understanding why Jiang Yinyue suddenly said that.
Jiang Yinyue hesitated for a moment before she said helplessly, "Aning, Mother feels... the second son of the Bai family seems..."
"You mean Second Brother?" Thinking of Bai Yu'an, Xiaotuanzi was a little worried, but she still smiled and said, "Second Brother...it's true that he and I don't have a good relationship, but don't worry, mother. He always stays in his own yard and doesn't interact with everyone much."
Having said that, in fact, she also wanted to have a good relationship with her second brother, but she never had the chance.
Before, she had gone to find Bai Yu'an several times by herself, but every time she showed up at the door, Bai Yu'an would chase her out, saying that he was afraid that she would damage the medicinal herbs. Gradually, she didn't dare to disturb him anymore.
"Okay, in short, the Jiang family is also your home. You can come back anytime, okay?" Jiang Yinyue looked at her daughter reluctantly.
"Well, if you miss me, you can come and see me often," the little girl deliberately rubbed against her mother's arms, "The General's Mansion will definitely welcome you, mother."
"Okay." Jiang Yinyue agreed with a smile.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the general's mansion. Jiang Yinyue got off the car first. For a moment, she was startled.
There were several little guys standing in a neat row at the entrance of the general's mansion. The eldest one Bai Qing'an, the third one Xiao Wu, the fourth one Bai Shi'an, the fifth one Bai Ruian and the sixth one You Zhu were all waiting there. When they saw Li Suining coming out, they instantly looked happy.
"My sister is back." Bai Shian was the first to rush forward and rushed to pick up the little girl from the carriage. "My sister is finally back."
"Fourth brother, why are you back?" The little girl was extremely happy when she saw the fourth brother. She hugged the fourth brother's neck and rubbed it hard. "Fourth brother, I missed you so much."
The fifth brother followed the fourth brother and reached out to hold Li Suining's hand, "Sister, you don't know, when the fourth brother heard that you didn't come back after leaving the palace, he was scared and even went to the Jiang residence to look for you."
"Don't talk too much." Bai Shi'an glared at Bai Ruian, "This is my sister's home. You can come back whenever you want."
He held his sister in his arms and strode in.
You Zhu also followed behind, saying with a disdainful tone, "You can come back anytime, but you can't not come back now, right? Bai Shian?"
"Hahaha..." Lao Wu laughed instantly.
Jiang Yinyue stood there and saw Xiaotuanzi waving goodbye to her, so she immediately waved back as well.
"Mrs. Jiang," Bai Qing'an came over at this time, "Come in and have a seat."
"No." Seeing her daughter's figure completely disappear, Jiang Yinyue's nose felt sore and she couldn't stop crying. She quickly turned her head and said, "I'm going back first. You guys..."
