Chapter 698 Mischievous An'an
"Father!"
Pingping looked at the people standing at the entrance of the academy with delight.
But he didn't rush over; suppressing his joy, he quickened his pace.
He has lost some of his childishness and gained more of a scholarly air.
"Oh dear, brother, you're so slow! Father and I have been waiting for you for ages!"
An'an thought Pingping was too slow, so she ran over, grabbed Pingping's hand, and ran forward.
When An'an stopped, Pingping looked somewhat helpless.
“An’an, you’re in school too, why are you still so carefree? A girl should act like a girl…”
"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen..." An'an covered her ears, looking unhappy. "I have to listen to the teacher at school, and now I have to listen to your nagging at home. It's so annoying!"
Pingping sighed helplessly, looked at Chen Yongnian, and said, "Father, are we not leaving yet because we're waiting for someone?"
Chen Yongnian nodded, "Let's wait for Headmaster Tao!"
“Okay!” Pingping replied, took a book out of her bag, and squatted down in the corner to read it.
Seeing this, An'an murmured, "My brother is going to become a bookworm, what should we do?"
After saying that, she looked at Chen Yongnian, seeking help.
Chen Yongnian patted An'an's head and said with a smile, "This is your brother's choice. As long as he likes it, that's fine. Just like An'an likes to jump around, your father and mother won't restrict you!"
An'an blinked, it was unclear whether she understood.
Then, her attention was drawn to the people coming out of the door.
"Feng Zheng, Feng Zheng, my dad and mom are back! Want to come play with me? My mom must have brought lots of delicious food!"
An'an took off running before Chen Yongnian could even react.
However, the person An'an called out to only pause for a moment and did not answer.
"Feng Zheng, what's wrong?" An An stopped in front of Feng Zheng, looking puzzled.
Feng Zheng lowered his head, his hands constantly rubbing his robes. "Little Yunxi, I... I won't go!"
After saying that, he secretly glanced at An'an, as if afraid that she would be angry.
He wanted to go too.
But recently his father has been strict, so he doesn't dare to go out and play.
A few days ago, my older brother came back and was scolded by my father. He was also forbidden from having any more contact with Xiao Yunxi's mother, or else he would break my brother's legs.
If I go with Xiaoyunxi to see Xiaoyunxi's mother, will my father break my legs too?
Feng Zheng was unsure, but he didn't want to see An An disappointed.
He felt that Xiao Yunxi was the cutest and most interesting girl he had ever met!
An'an tilted her head and looked at Feng Zheng, asking in confusion, "Feng Zheng, is it because your family won't let you go out to play? How about this... I'll go back with you and talk to your family properly!"
She had a precocious and shrewd demeanor that made Chen Yongnian want to facepalm.
This looks like a miniature version of my wife!
Chen Yongnian sighed, walked over, and said gently, "An'an, everyone has their own things to do. You can't force others, understand?"
"Oh!" An'an seemed a little disappointed.
Then, she suddenly pulled off the purse hanging from her waist and took out a piece of candy.
"Here you go, I'll play with you again next time!" She stuffed a piece of candy into Feng Zheng's hand and grinned.
Feng Zheng was given a piece of candy, and he looked somewhat bewildered and lost.
He looked at the candy in his hand and nodded. "Thank you!"
After saying that, he turned and got into the carriage.
An'an watched Feng Zheng leave, then looked up at Chen Yongnian and said, "Father, why is he acting so strangely today? He doesn't seem to be like this before!"
"It's alright, don't worry about it!" Chen Yongnian said, glancing at the carriage that was moving away.
Perhaps the Feng family realized the crisis.
The official is now preparing to promote Xie Xing.
You don't have to get along with someone, but you can't side with someone you don't get along with.
The people of Yunhe County could all see that Chen Yongnian and his wife Wan Qiqi were on Fang Ziming's side.
Then, those who seem to have a good relationship with you and your wife will start to distance themselves and maintain a distant relationship.
I imagine that's what Master Feng thought too.
Chen Yongnian didn't have to wait long before Tao Ran arrived.
At the same time, An'an went to greet Tao Xiujin, shared the candy in her pocket, and pulled Tao Xiujin's hand to run outside.
Chen Yongnian was genuinely troubled.
He was afraid that Tao Ran would say he hadn't taught his child well, which was why he was so unruly.
However, Tao Ran saw it but said nothing.
He glanced at the child who had run away, then at Chen Yongnian, and gestured to talk as they walked.
"When did you get back?" Tao Ran asked.
"I just arrived. My wife went to the restaurant and asked me to pick up Pingping and An'an!" Chen Yongnian replied.
"If I remember correctly, Lord Fang is being buried today?" Tao Ran turned his head to look at Chen Yongnian, seemingly waiting for him to continue.
"Yes, the Fang family mother and daughter went back to the Tang family with Master Tang!" Chen Yongnian's eyes showed a hint of worry.
"Since the Tang family dared to bring them back, they won't make any obvious moves. The only thing to worry about is Fang Luxue's marriage!"
Tao Ran paused, then said, "Given the Tang family's nature, they might be treating her marriage as a transaction."
"I promised Lord Fang that I would protect Fang Luxue..." Chen Yongnian thought of this and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
"Don't worry too much. Qiqi hasn't said anything about this, so she'll definitely be fine. She cares about Fang Luxue's situation even more than you do..."
Along the way, Tao Ran and Chen Yongnian slowly analyzed and learned the whole story of the government's affair.
Finally, he said, "Perhaps it's not a bad thing for them to go back!"
"Hmm?" Chen Yongnian looked at Tao Ran, waiting for her to continue.
"If what you say is true, then this matter is inextricably linked to the Tang family. Who among you can contact the Tang family now and find any clues?" Tao Ran asked.
