Chapter 556 Very Easy to Coax

Si Jinyu turned around and saw that she was wearing a pink lotus-colored dress with a sky-blue chemise, which was exactly the color that a girl of her age liked. When she walked towards him, the blue and white flowers embroidered with silver thread on the hem of her skirt swayed, making her look coquettish and lively, but her face was too well-behaved and serious, not at all like a thirteen-year-old girl.

The little girl walked up to him and asked him with a slightly expectant tone, "Will you stay today, brother?"

Si Jinyu was speechless for a moment.

When she was still a four-year-old child, she asked him if he would stay with her when he sent her here. He was worried at that time, so he stayed with her in the manor for three days. After that, she would ask him every time she came here.

Maybe because she was still a child before today, Si Jinyu didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. But when she asked this question again today, Si Jinyu felt that it was a little inappropriate.

No matter what the reason was for her to grow up so quickly, now that she was grown up, she was a girl, so it would be inappropriate for him to stay overnight.

In particular, this little girl doesn't even have the awareness of the differences between men and women.

"I still have some things to do at home. I will have dinner with you later and then I will hurry back to the city."

Little Li Sheng was a little disappointed and was about to leave again.

Si Jinyu noticed the disappointment on the little girl's face and knew that she would not be used to being alone in the manor. Despite this, she still had no intention of changing her mind.

He reached out and touched her head, his voice clear, "When you are more stable, I will take you back to the mansion, and then find a chance to let you go to the palace to see Linglong."

When he heard that he could go see Linglong, little Li Sheng's eyes lit up and he nodded obediently without any unhappiness.

It can be said that he is very easy to coax.

It was so easy to coax that even Si Jinyu was a little bit unbelievable.

After all, when he was raising his own sister, he didn't have such peace of mind.

…

After accompanying Li Sheng to finish the meal, Si Jinyu asked the Du Ba couple to take good care of her and said that he would come to see her again in two days. Then, he got on the carriage for the return journey before it got dark.

Li Sheng sent the person to the door, watched the carriage go away, then lifted her skirt and ran quickly to a big tree in the attic in the backyard. She wanted to climb the tree, but then she looked at her new clothes and hesitated for a moment.

She turned her head to look in the direction of the courtyard wall, thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, tied up her skirt, and then quickly and carefully climbed up to the roof of the attic using the tree trunk.

Li Sheng stood up and just in time saw the familiar carriage turning out from the dense forest on the distant mountain road, and then slowly moving away along the mountain road.

Li Sheng just stood on the roof and watched from afar until the carriage disappeared into the sunset. Then he slowly withdrew his gaze and let out a soft, small breath.

Brother, gone again.

On the other side, just as Si Jinyu's carriage turned into the official road, several horsemen appeared from the dense forest. The two leading the horses were both dressed in gorgeous clothes, with several prey hanging on their horses' backs. They were obviously young men who had just returned from hunting.

One of the men in a cyan brocade robe looked at the carriage going away and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is that Si Jinyu's carriage?"

A person nearby took a closer look and curled his lips, "It looks like it."

The young master of the Si family has always known how to enjoy life. Even though there are regulations for carriages in Yongjing City, Si Jinyu's carriage is able to be decorated extremely luxuriously within the regulations.

"What is he doing outside the city?" asked the man in blue.

Someone nearby shrugged, "How would we know? I heard that the Si family stole the show at the charity banquet in the palace a few days ago. I'm afraid Si Jinyu is feeling very proud now."

The man paused and said, "But speaking of it, I have indeed seen him running in and out of the city from time to time recently. I remember that there is his manor not far ahead. Hey! Brother Yuwen, do you think he has someone hiding outside?"

There was obvious mockery in the man's eyes when he said the last sentence.

Yuwen Su raised his eyebrows when he heard this, seeming to be interested.

Although the Si family had not been in Yongjing for a long time, he had heard of Si Jinyu's usual demeanor. He always looked like a gentleman.

Humph, he is just the son of a merchant, but even these children from noble families look down on him.

He just relies on the fact that he has a spoiled sister.

Thinking of this, he looked in the direction the person next to him pointed, towards the farm not far away, and saw a graceful figure standing on the roof in the sunset.

Yuwen Sugu was startled, and when he was about to take a closer look, he saw the figure slightly turn sideways, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the roof.

Is this... is he dazzled?

"Could it be that there is really someone?" Yuwen Su murmured to himself in a low voice. The young master beside him couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean there is really someone?"

Yuwen Su glanced at the other person, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Whether Si Jinyu has hidden someone, we can go and take a look tomorrow and then we will know for sure, right?"

The other person was stunned at first, then he reacted and pointed at Yuwen Subai and smiled without saying anything.
