Chapter 101 He was really nervous just now
After Bai Shi'an sent Li Suining back to the general's mansion, he lingered for a long time before leaving reluctantly.
Before he left, he made an agreement with Xiao Wu and You Zhu that if anything happened to his sister, they must inform him immediately.
That night, Xiao Wu found Li Suining privately.
"Third brother..." he said apologetically, "Let me tell you I'm sorry first."
Little Tuanzi immediately ran forward, snuggled up to Xiao Wu's legs, and shook his head sincerely, "No, Third Brother, don't apologize. I believe in you."
What she meant was that she knew that everything her third brother did was for the General's Mansion.
Xiao Wu raised his hand and touched the little girl's head. During the day, he almost let down such a good sister.
He spoke softly, "No matter what the reason was, Third Brother shouldn't have decided to send you away without authorization. Third Brother was too arbitrary. Now that I think about it, perhaps if I stay, I can better protect the General's Mansion."
The little girl tilted her head, seeming to understand, and blinked her round eyes. "Third brother, what should I do to protect the general's mansion?"
"My sister is indeed very smart." Xiao Wu gently scratched the little girl's nose.
Li Suining immediately wrinkled her nose shyly and waited obediently for him to continue.
"Actually, my sister is right. The reason why Third Brother sent you away is because he got the news that the Prime Minister's Mansion wants to use you to drive the General's Mansion out of the Imperial City." Xiao Wu's expression became a little colder.
"Ah?" The little girl opened her mouth in shock.
Soon, she asked angrily again, "Why are the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion so mean? Why do they always bully us?"
The word "we" caused ripples in Xiao Wu's eyes. For a moment, he couldn't help but worry. If Xiaotuanzi knew the truth one day, would she blame him for bullying her family?
This thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly reaffirmed his choice. He gently answered Tuanzi's question, "I think it's mainly because my elder brother took the position of Prince Zuo Sixian's companion..."
The little boy's reaction was strange, and he immediately stamped his feet. "What do you mean by robbed? It's as if that position originally belonged to him."
Xiao Wu laughed and felt pleased that Li Suining had such a quick and clear mind.
"My sister is right, but the Prime Minister's Mansion is used to being overbearing. In their eyes, many things in the world belong to them by nature." He continued, "Also, most of the nails that were pulled out of the Imperial Examination Hall were also retainers of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In their view, this is another major evil done by the General's Mansion."
The little girl pouted her lips, obviously she didn't accept either of these two opinions.
Of course, there is another reason that Xiao Wu did not mention, and that is Li Changan and Qian. You can guess how many bad things they said about Li Suning and the General's Mansion in front of Zuo Shanzhang.
"Does Third Brother know what they're planning to do?" Li Suining asked curiously. "I'm just a child, and I don't have any connections with the Prime Minister's Mansion. How are they going to use me to harm the General's Mansion?"
Xiao Wu shook his head. "It's precisely because Third Brother didn't know that I resorted to this desperate measure and chose to send you away first."
Li Suining understood, "So it was because of the Prime Minister's Mansion that I almost couldn't go home. I hate them."
"Be good, but now Third Brother believes that you can really predict the future, so Third Brother needs your explanation to let Third Brother know what they will do. Then, we will work together to find a solution." Xiao Wu said solemnly.
"Okay!" the little guy agreed immediately, "I'm willing to help Third Brother."
"How good!" Xiao Wu couldn't help but say, and then reminded the little girl, "However, this matter should only be known to you and me. I don't want others to know about it and worry about it for the time being."
Xiaotuanzi nodded again, indicating that he thought so too.
Xiao Wu's face showed a little more smile. With such a good sister, he was really going to become the second Fourth Brother. He really didn't want her to leave at all.
"Sister, can you tell me now how you predict the future?" This is what he is most curious about.
"Well, I can't really explain it," the little guy answered seriously, "Sometimes, when you see someone for the first time, you seem to know a lot of information..."
Her eyes lit up, "For example, when I first saw the Crown Prince, I knew he would never become the emperor in the future."
Xiao Wu's expression changed instantly, "Sister, don't talk nonsense about this matter anymore."
"I didn't say anything nonsense." Little Dumpling said aggrievedly.
"Third brother is not disbelieving what you said. What third brother means is that this matter..." Xiao Wu thought about it. Li Suining would never have the chance to meet the prince in the future. He was really too nervous just now.
He immediately patted the little guy's head again, "Alright, alright, it's okay. Go on, what else? For example, how did you know that Third Brother would be in danger today?"
"The stars told me." Little Dumpling pointed outside. "Ever since I was old enough to understand, the stars have told me a lot of things. However, the things the stars tell me usually happen very soon, not for a long time."
"Stars?" Xiao Wu frowned, feeling it was truly magical. "What exactly will it tell you? Are they all about you?"
"Almost." Little Dumpling nodded, "But now I can also ask some questions, such as..."
She said viciously, "I can ask the stars what will happen in the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow, and then I can see what happens in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Third brother, can I go and ask now?"
"Wait a moment." Xiao Wu quickly pulled her back. He was a little worried. What if Li Suining saw Li Changan in the Prime Minister's Mansion? He couldn't take that risk.
He thought about it carefully before slowly saying, "Well, sister, you don't have to look at the Prime Minister's Mansion. Just pay attention to the situation on Dad's side. If anything goes wrong with him, tell me immediately, okay?"
Li Suining didn't quite understand Xiao Wu's intention, but she believed in her third brother. Her third brother was so smart, so she just had to be obedient.
"Don't worry, Third Brother. I will check the stars every night to see if Dad will encounter any danger the next day."
"Be good! Then Third Brother will wait for your news." Xiao Wu naturally couldn't just point at Xiaotuanzi. After separating from Li Suining, he went to see Qingyun again.
"Those masked men are now locked up in the barracks. Have someone figure out where they came from. It would be best if..." His expression grew colder, "get rid of them all."
"Yes, Sect Master!" Qingyun felt a little scared. "It seems that today is all thanks to Miss Seven. But how did Miss Seven know that you were in danger?"
Xiao Wu did not answer. If he and Li Suining could really cooperate successfully this time, then... Li Suining would definitely become his most powerful trump card in the future.
