"Thank you, Auntie—" Jin Bai dragged out the last syllable, a hint of grievance. Her big eyes, like black grapes, blinked and shone with tears.
Now even Yuzhui couldn't bear it anymore. She looked at Xie Wanyun eagerly, wanting to speak for Jinbai but not daring to.
"——Okay." Xie Wanyun finally said this, and he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
"That's great! Thank you, Auntie, you finally agreed to me!" Jin Bai jumped up with joy and almost hit his head.
"Be careful!" Xie Wanyun grabbed him and said, "We are in a carriage, be careful not to get bumped."
"Thank you, Auntie. Can I go home with you now?" Jin Bai said expectantly.
"This..." Xie Wanyun hesitated. After all, Jin Bai was Yan Suizhi's child, and it would be inconvenient for him to come to Yuanxing Marquis's Mansion every day.
But looking at the hopeful face of the child, she felt a little reluctant. She could be cruel to anyone, including herself, but she couldn't do it to Jin Bai.
Jin Bai was a sensitive child. Seeing her hesitation, he immediately said politely, "If Aunt Xie doesn't want me to go, then I won't go. From now on, Aunt Xie will choose a place, and I will go there every day to learn martial arts from you."
Jinbai played a little trick again, omitting the word "thank you" and just calling her aunt.
Xie Wanyun pretended not to know. In fact, she quite liked her child's little thoughts.
She took Jinbai's hand and said, "Jinbai, come back with me today. We can make another appointment to meet somewhere else later, okay?"
A smile overflowed from Jinbai's mouth, spreading like ripples on the water.
"Jinbai, Quan Ge'er is also learning martial arts from Aunt Xie. From now on, you two must get along well with each other and stop fighting and causing trouble. Can you do that?"
Jin Bai smiled so hard that her teeth were visible and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Auntie, I won't fight with Quan Ge'er anymore. I used to just play with him."
Xie Wanyun found it a little funny. This kid was indeed a mischievous kid.
He sternly lectured her, "I know you're better at martial arts than him, and you're smarter than him, but you're not allowed to bully him, understand?"
"Yeah!" Jin Bai nodded repeatedly, feeling a little jealous. Aunt Xie cared so much about Quan Ge'er. It didn't matter, as long as he could see Aunt Xie every day from now on.
As they spoke, the carriage had already arrived at the Marquis's residence. The gatekeeper came forward, bowed, and said, "Madam, Madam Liu has just come again and has taken the young master away."
Xie Wanyun's face darkened.
Liu Yun'er has been getting more and more naughty lately. Is it because she's been too tolerant? She's let her get away with it.
"Didn't Quan go to school? Why did he run off with Liu Yun'er again?"
Seeing her unhappy face, the servant was suddenly a little panicked and said hurriedly: "Madam Liu brought a lot of food and said she wanted to take my son to a fun place. After coaxing him for a long time, my son finally followed her."
I see.
A hint of anger flashed in Xie Wanyun's eyes.
What child doesn't like to play? Liu Yun'er uses these things to lure the children into neglecting their studies.
Does this idiot even know what he is doing?
Was he really going to disregard his own son's future just to go against him? How foolish and short-sighted!
Jin Bai had been standing aside obediently without saying a word. Seeing the anger on her face, she remained silent for a long time. Then she stepped forward, grabbed her sleeve and shook it, raised her little face and said, "Auntie, Auntie, don't worry, let's go find Quan Ge'er."
Xie Wanyun's eyes were filled with warmth.
Bending down, he stroked Jinbai's little face with his cold fingers.
"Don't look for him. If he knows his limits, he'll come back. If he's just playing around, it's useless to look for him."
He stood up straight and swept his cold eyes across the faces of the gatekeepers.
Those people felt a chill and couldn't help but tense their bodies.
"You all should know who holds your indentures and who pays your monthly allowances. If you can't figure this out, there's no point in serving in the Marquis' Mansion."
When they heard this, they were so frightened that they fell to their knees and begged for mercy. "We know we are wrong, please forgive us, Madam!"
Xie Wanyun said coldly, "It's good that you admit your mistakes. From now on, not just any cat or dog can be allowed into the mansion."
"Don't worry, ma'am! We won't dare to do it again!" several people responded in unison.
