Chapter 40 Hide and Seek
Si Jinchen was also confused and quickly chased after him.
Old Madam Si just saw it, but didn't say anything. If she had said something, it would no longer be a joke between children, but would have been escalated to all the mansions.
Juanjuan was a little confused. Why did Sister Liu seem to be even angrier than me?
Liu Yueya pulled her to sit on the sofa in the corner: "If anyone bullies you in the future, I will help you deal with her."
"I can take care of my sister myself." Si Jinchen sat next to Juanjuan.
"Then why didn't you say anything just now?" Liu Yueya looked at him with displeasure.
"You moved too fast." Si Jinchen didn't expect her to move so fast.
Liu Yueya was too lazy to argue with him and sat on the other side of Juanjuan: "Aidundun, are you guys giving me the Luban lock I bought last time?"
"My sister is not short and fat." Si Jinchen really disliked Liu Yueya.
"You are also a shorty." Liu Yueya said bluntly.
Si Jinchen was depressed. He was a five-year-old child and was shorter than Liu Yueya, but that didn't mean he wouldn't grow taller.
"Yueya, don't be so rude." A gentle female voice came from not far away.
Liu Yueya pursed her lips and looked at the person who came: "I know, Mom."
"Wow! Auntie is so beautiful." Juanjuan looked at Lin Jingqiu.
She was wearing a georgette cheongsam embroidered with peonies, which highlighted her curvy figure. Her long black hair was tied up and pinned behind her head with a simple hairpin.
Her eyebrows and eyes were as dark as if dyed with ink, her face was lightly powdered, and a pair of black high heels made her look much taller.
Lin Jingqiu looked at Juanjuan's big, twinkling eyes, her eyes full of smiles: "Whose beautiful doll is this?"
"Auntie, my name is Juanjuan, and I'm from my brother's family!" Juanjuan's chubby little face showed a smile.
"What a cute little girl. The governor is so lucky." Lin Jingqiu reached out and pinched her little face.
"Mom, why are you here?" Liu Yueya looked at her and asked.
"I came here because I didn't want to play along with them. It's exhausting to say one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. I might as well stay with you kids."
As Lin Jingqiu spoke, she sat down on the sofa beside her and asked the servant to bring her a cup of tea.
Si Jinchen called out politely, "Aunt Liu, isn't Uncle Liu coming with you?"
"He's too lazy to entertain these people." Lin Jingqiu said with a smile.
"Is that Uncle Qiuqiu?" Juanjuan tilted her head to look at Si Jinchen.
Si Jinchen looked at the two people sitting there, not knowing how to answer.
"Juanjuan's answer is quite appropriate. I'll have to ask him to lose some weight when we get back." Lin Jingqiu smiled and took a sip of tea, obviously not caring about her words at all.
Qian Xuexue and the other children came over soon and asked, "Juanjuan, did you draw the raincoats you are wearing today?"
Juanjuan nodded: "My brother and I drew this together."
"Then why doesn't the paint fall off?" Qian Xueming asked somewhat puzzled.
Juanjuan scratched her head and turned to look at Si Jinchen, not knowing how to answer.
"We don't know either. Maybe something got in accidentally." Si Jinchen looked confused.
"Ah! I thought you bought it, and I was thinking of buying it back for me tomorrow." Zhang Haoyu sat aside with a sad look on his face.
Zhang Haoxuan looked at the two of them and said, "It's rare to come across something I like, but I don't have a place to buy it."
"Juanjuan, can you still draw it?" Qian Xuexue looked at her expectantly.
Juanjuan thought for a moment and said, "I can draw it, but I don't know if it will fall off."
"If it falls off, it will be a waste of painting!" Qian Xueming said helplessly.
Si Jinchen smiled and said, "Let's think about it when we get back, maybe we can remember it."
"Okay, if you remember, remember to tell us!" Qian Xuexue said with a smile.
"Let's go play hide-and-seek. It's raining today and we can't go out, so we can only play inside the house." Qian Xueming organized his friends to play together.
Juanjuan pulled Si Jinchen's hand: "Brother, what is hide-and-seek?"
"Juanjuan, follow me for a while, and I will tell you slowly." Si Jinchen said, holding her hand.
Juanjuan smiled and nodded: "Okay."
But they didn't expect that when they were hiding, there was another person named Liu Yueya beside them.
This made it difficult for the three of them to hide, so they had to find a larger place.
"Sister Liu, do you have to follow us?" Si Jinchen was very depressed.
"This is not your territory." Liu Yueya said angrily.
Juanjuan pulled the two of them to the curtains of the room: "We can hide the three of us here!"
The Qian family's curtains are large and thick, so there is no problem in covering the three children.
"Juanjuan, we can't talk for a while, otherwise we will lose if we are found!" Si Jinchen whispered to her after hiding.
Juanjuan nodded obediently, then stood still without saying a word, keeping her little body tense.
"Don't be so nervous. They won't be able to find this place in a while." Liu Yueya looked at her and said.
"Okay." Juanjuan said softly, lowering her voice.
The three children stood here for a long time and their feet were a little sore. Suddenly, they heard the door open and immediately quieted down.
Juanjuan covered her mouth with her little hands, afraid of making any sound.
After a while, voices were heard outside the curtains.
"How are you doing with the tasks I asked you to do?" The man's voice was a little strange, and he didn't sound like someone from Beiyang City.
"Don't worry, I've already had Doctor Huai's medicine garden destroyed. That bastard is still hiding it from our family. If Mr. Pei hadn't helped find the medicine, my father wouldn't have woken up."
"I also want to teach Doctor Huai a lesson. He's not the only one in Beiyang City who can't afford to offend General Si. He can't afford to offend our Liu family either."
Liu Yueya frowned slightly. Why did this voice sound so much like her uncle's?
She quietly opened a corner of the curtain and looked outside.
I actually saw my uncle talking to a man. The man had his back to them and I couldn't see his face clearly.
"Deal with everything cleanly and don't let Governor Si reveal any loopholes." The man looked at him and said.
The Liu family's eldest uncle immediately said with an apologetic smile, "Please tell Mr. Pei that I won't let anyone catch me. I will make them leave Beiyang City from the Western Suburbs Pier tonight."
"You'd better do what you say. If your Liu family handles this matter well, you will definitely get benefits in the future." The man patted the shoulder of the old man of the Liu family and walked out.
When the Liu family's master saw him leave, he spat on the ground and said, "What kind of person is this? He's just a dog running errands for Pei Jingming, and he dares to show off in front of me."
After he had cursed enough, he opened the door and walked out.
