Chapter 226: Kindness and Softness Are Different
The wind was quite strong today and it happened to be blowing from the south, so all the dust from the demolition of the house in the backyard was blown over here.
Mr. Gu is really capable of making a fuss. He treats this place as his own home.
"Miss." The butler came hurriedly.
"What are you in such a hurry for?"
"Wang's family is here to pick her up."
"Catch the pearl?"
"Yes, the person is waiting in the living room. I'll go get him right away."
"Go ahead." Ye Qianning nodded.
It seems that Dad had made plans that day. Wang's eldest brother runs a small business in Kyoto City. Since Wang married Xiang Mingli, he has been giving them things a lot.
Now that Wang is dead, my father asked her parents to come and pick her up. I guess even if they take her back, she won’t have the courage to stay in Kyoto.
What concerns her most now is the person behind the old lady. After two days of investigation, there is still no news. She has also asked the yellow fox and other animals in the mansion.
There is still no news. The longer we can't find this person, the scarier it becomes. He must have done everything perfectly.
Not long after, Ye Qianning saw the servant holding down the struggling Xiang Siyan, and the housekeeper carrying the crying Xiang Zhenzhu towards the front yard. It was better for them to leave.
He could live longer if he left. If he continued to act like this in front of her for a long time, it would be hard to say whether Xiang Siyan could reach adulthood.
"Little girl, what are you doing here?" Old Gu walked over, rubbing his eyes.
"Mr. Gu."
Gu Lao came up to her, his eyes still a little hard to open: "Little girl, let me see, your eyes were blown by the wind, it seems like something has entered them."
"Why are you demolishing the house if there's nothing wrong?" Although Ye Qianning complained, she pulled Old Gu to bend down with her little hand.
Gu Lao half squatted and said: "How can we live here if we don't demolish it?"
Ye Qianning held his eyes open and blew on them: "Blink a few times, close your eyes for a while and then open them again."
Old Gu raised his head, rolled his eyes, closed them, and kept talking: "You know, the south wind is blowing so hard today that I can't even open my eyes."
"Just have someone clean it up and renovate it. There's no need to tear it down."
Speaking of bad luck, there is no house in Kyoto that is not unlucky. The family before the general was even executed along with their entire family.
There was no courtyard in the imperial palace where people had not died, and no one had ever seen it demolished.
"It's better to rebuild than to renovate. By the way, I just saw several people coming to the front yard. Have the two children from the second house been sent away?" Old Gu slowly opened his eyes and rubbed his hands a few times before he recovered.
"kindness."
"It's good to send him away. The other day I was worried that your father would be soft-hearted and keep him here."
Ye Qianning didn't respond but just laughed. There is a difference between being kind and being soft-hearted.
"You have been bored in the mansion for two days. It is too dusty here today, so I will take you out for a walk." said Mr. Gu.
"Let's do it another day. I still have to go to the aunt's courtyard later."
"Everything else about the general's mansion is good except that there are too many concubines. Fortunately, they are of decent character, otherwise it would be a headache for you." When mentioning concubines, Old Gu frowned.
"It's Daddy's concubine, so he should have a headache if he wants to."
"You don't understand. There are very few harems as harmonious as theirs. Marquis Xiang Ming may not be good at other things, but his concubines are pretty good." Old Gu was direct and accurate in judging people by their faces.
"I agree with this." Ye Qianning nodded.
However, the way the aunts and dad get along doesn't look like a couple, but more like siblings. Anyway, no matter what the relationship is, everything is good as long as the person is good.
"You really don't want to go out and take a look?"
"No."
"If you're not going, then I won't go either. I'm going to play a few games of chess with Zhan Yi." Old Gu lives a leisurely life.
"You all treat the General's Mansion as your own home."
Gu Lao laughed when he heard this: "Anyway, Xiang Minghou can't get up now, so he can't take care of things."
Ye Qianning was too lazy to care. After all, they had brought their own money and the General's Mansion didn't have to spend any money. They could stay there if they wanted.
