Chapter 963 Fleeing Famine? There's No Way to Escape (10)
The little guy shoved the biscuit into his mouth with a "whoosh," then chewed it very carefully, not wanting to swallow it for a long time.
However, this time Ning Yan didn't hold back. She ate all the pancakes in her hand in a few bites, and then drank the soup in her bowl in a few gulps, thus ending her lunch.
After finishing her meal, Ning Yan wiped her mouth and headed to visit the Ning family.
When Xiao Bao saw his sister lift her leg to leave, he immediately became anxious, "Sister, where are you going? Take Xiao Bao with you."
"It's hot, you'd be better off staying in the carriage. I'll be right back."
"No, no, it's not hot, Xiao Bao will go."
Lu Chengwen, who was not far away, also said, "Miss Ning, why don't you take him with you? It'll be good for him to walk around and stretch his muscles."
Well, Ning Yan had no choice but to take the child with her to the Ning family's resting place.
Xiao Bao didn't want to be carried; he just held Ning Yan's hand and followed her. He was as well-behaved as could be.
The wet nurse watched the two figures disappear into the distance, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
Throughout her journey south, she had enjoyed the best treatment, but as soon as this little bitch arrived, she was forced to squeeze into a carriage with the maids.
The car was already crowded, and with this weather, she became irritable and restless after only half a day.
As long as this little bitch lives, her life will never be easy.
Sensing the malicious gaze behind her, Ning Yan turned around abruptly, meeting the nanny's malevolent eyes.
The wet nurse was startled and quickly withdrew the malice in her eyes, pretending that nothing had happened.
Ning Yan scoffed lightly, turned around, and continued walking with Xiao Bao in her arms.
Xiao Bao: "What's wrong with my sister?"
"It's nothing. It's just that your wet nurse thinks I took her job and hates me. I guess it won't be long before she forces me to leave you."
But that's perfect, you're almost fully recovered, you don't need me to come with you.
Xiao Bao frowned: "I need it, I need my sister's." The wet nurse is so annoying!
"Okay, okay, we need to. At the very least, we'll be together the whole way to Jiangnan."
Xiao Bao pursed his lips and remained silent.
He wanted to stay with his sister forever.
When Ning Yan returned to the Ning family, Old Madam Ning quickly waved to her.
"Oh dear, why did you bring the young master along? It's so hot here!" With that, she picked up a palm-leaf fan and started fanning the child.
This palm-leaf fan was my grandmother's old companion. She couldn't bear to throw it away when we were fleeing famine, so she just held it in her hand. It wasn't heavy, and she thought she could just throw it away when she got tired.
Unexpectedly, after keeping it all this time, it has finally come in handy.
Surprisingly, the young master seemed to enjoy being slapped. "Thank you."
"Oh my, this child is so sensible. You're welcome."
"Did you all eat the milk?"
Old Ning touched his nose with his empty hand. "Yanyan, well, at noon, Master Lu had a lot of pancakes delivered. We really got a great deal from him."
Actually, the Peach Fairy Goddess had given them quite a few good things. Perhaps she was prescient and knew that the Lu family was eating cakes today, so she gave them thirty cakes in one go. They would go bad if they didn't eat them, so they were very full today. Now she wanted to walk thirty miles to digest the food in her stomach.
"Is there enough water?"
"Enough." Thinking of that delicious plum juice, Old Lady Ning smacked her lips. What to do? She wanted to kowtow to the Peach Fairy Goddess again.
It's a pity that the granddaughter brought the young master back; otherwise, she could have had a taste too.
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. You can take a nap at noon so you'll have more energy for your journey this afternoon."
Grandma Ning nodded, "Okay, I understand." Actually, it didn't matter whether she slept or not, since she didn't need to walk anyway. The men in the family took turns walking. They were well-fed and had plenty of water, so they weren't afraid of walking at all. They were all very energetic.
Seeing that everything was alright, Ning Yan took the young master's hand and walked back. When they reached the convoy, the young master's eyes lit up. "Sister, you get in the car first. I'm going to check on Father."
Ning Yan glanced at Grandpa Lu, who was resting not far away, and nodded slightly.
The young master shoved Ning Yan into the car, then slipped out and ran off to find his father.
"Little Bao, you finally remembered your father?!"
Xiao Bao jumped onto his father's lap, hugged his neck, and wouldn't let go, saying, "I missed Daddy!"
Lu Chengwen was usually quite serious, but after being hugged by his son, he didn't feel hot at all; instead, he felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey.
"Hmm, did you have a good day?"
Xiao Bao: "I'm so happy! My sister is such a good storyteller. I've learned so many idioms..." He went on and on, but soon he changed the subject: "But my sister isn't happy."
"Oh, why is my sister unhappy?"
Xiao Bao glanced at the wet nurse not far away, then whispered in his father's ear, "I saw the wet nurse glare at my sister, and she got angry."
Lu Chengwen narrowed his eyes. "Wet nurse, have you forgotten your place after taking care of Xiaobao for so long?"
The child cried so much that she couldn't soothe him, and he even developed a high fever for several days. If it weren't for Miss Ning, who knows what might have happened to Xiao Bao.
"It's alright, Father will avenge Miss Ning."
Xiao Bao gave his father a quick kiss on the cheek, saying, "Daddy's the best."
After kissing me, she let go and slid down, saying, "Daddy, put me down quickly, I want to go find my sister to sleep."
Lu Chengwen: ...
Watching Xiao Bao run away, Lu Chengwen was both amused and exasperated. A sister he had just met could make him forget even his own father. What a brat!
With the help of the maid, Xiao Bao got back into the carriage. He glanced around and saw that his sister was asleep. He quickly moved quietly, looked at the bed, and it seemed that his sister had left a place for him. He quietly took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, and lay down next to his sister.
Ning Yan couldn't possibly fall asleep so quickly, but she sensed the little one's movements and, to prevent the child from falling off halfway through sleep, simply moved him to the inside.
The little guy was suddenly picked up and immediately opened his eyes, but seeing that his sister hadn't opened her eyes, he didn't make a sound, closed his eyes and went to sleep obediently.
Nothing happened for the next two days, and the wet nurse never appeared around Xiao Bao again.
Only after inquiring did I learn that the wet nurse had been sent to the last car and was strictly forbidden from getting close to the young master, because the young master would cry every time he saw her!
After finding out the truth, Ning Yan kissed Xiao Bao twice. When they were on their way again, Ning Yan lowered the carriage curtain, took out some fruit from her divine palace, and secretly fed it to Xiao Bao.
"Sister, the fruit is so delicious."
"Then eat as much as you want, but don't tell anyone. Can you do that?"
Xiao Bao nodded vigorously, picked up a cherry and fed it to Ning Yan's mouth, "Sister, eat it, Daddy and I won't say anything."
His sister is indeed the best to him. A few days ago, she promised to cook him something delicious once he recovered, and sure enough, she did today.
Ning Yan felt that Xiao Bao was probably born to the wrong mother; he should have been born to her. He was too smart and too sensible.
