General Xiao spoke in a very loud voice, but this was because he was mindful that they were in someone else's home, so he was intentionally restraining himself. If they were in his own home, there would probably have been chaos by now.
"Grandfather, why haven't you come in to see Ping'an yet? Are you annoyed that I'm sick?" Xiao Yao spoke again. Saving every person possible was a saving grace. Second Uncle was too pitiful, being scolded even with injuries. She was now shouldering the mission of saving everyone, so she was prepared to use any cute, coquettish tricks that worked today.
"Ping'an, are you feeling better? What's wrong with you? Such a big thing happened, why didn't you tell your grandfather? It was your father, your uncle, and your grandmother who told you not to tell, right? Don't worry, your grandfather will definitely help you get justice."
"Grandfather, considering I'm sick, can you please promise me one thing?"
"Grandfather can promise you anything, except your injury. Grandfather must get to the bottom of this matter."
"My granddaughter is fine now, and she has long forgotten what happened before. Doctor Lin said that my granddaughter will recover soon, so please don't punish my father, my mother, and the rest of the family, okay?"
"If you don't want Grandpa to punish them, then tell Grandpa what happened in detail. If you can convince me, Grandpa will consider your request."
"My granddaughter was still young and ignorant at that time! Later I heard that when he was playing with my fifth brother, he fell on me and I got a minor injury. Now it's almost healed. It doesn't hurt or itch anymore, so please don't worry about it, okay?"
"Just the two of you? From what your father says, it seems like this matter involves a lot of people! I tell you, as long as grandfather comes home and uses the family law, someone will confess soon."
"Grandfather, can't you just consider that your granddaughter is fine and not pursue this matter any further? Please!" Xiao Yao started to act coquettishly.
"My family only hid this from Grandpa. I'm the head of the family, and they don't even care about me. This matter can't be let go like this. You deserve compensation for your injury. Grandpa will let you choose from the things he brought back from the border town, and the rest will be given to Ruyi. Grandpa also brought a scimitar from overseas that I intended to give to Ajun, but since this kid caused you to be injured, Grandpa will temporarily withhold the things."
"You said I could choose anything. I want that scimitar. Don't regret it!"
"You are such a kind-hearted child. Why don't you think about revenge?" General Xiao shook his head in disapproval.
"Fifth Brother loves me so much, and he didn't mean it. Grandfather, can you please just promise to be safe for once? I'll exchange a gift with you. As long as you promise not to pursue the matter and let someone go, I'll give you a gift. How about that?"
"You are the only one who has many ideas. Grandfather can promise you that he will not punish Ajun and Aqi."
"So you know everything!" Xiao Yao wanted to pick out as many as she could, so she deliberately didn't mention Xiao Qi's. She didn't expect that her grandfather knew everything.
"You're too naive to try to trick me, and you're wrong. I was fooled by you two. Now I finally understand why you wear more clothes than others every winter and refuse to leave your room easily. And the smell of medicine on you is simply the smell of decoction, not a tonic. You went to the hot spring resort to cure your illness, right, kid? The whole family knew about it, but you hid it from me. Tell me, how can I not be angry?"
"It's all my fault for making you angry. We didn't dare to tell you because we were afraid you would be sad! Everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family is General Xiao's favorite. If General Xiao knew that his beloved daughter was hurt, he would be so distressed that he would not be able to eat or sleep. That's why I begged my family not to tell you.
"If I had held on for another two years, the problem would have resolved itself. I fainted, and I frightened and worried you. Is your injury serious? There seems to be a miracle doctor here. Please ask him to check you out. You care about your granddaughter, and your granddaughter cares about you too!" Xiao Yao said this in a mix of coquettishness and genuine emotion, which really made General Xiao lose his temper.
King Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at his son, saying, "Learn from him and learn how to say sweet words."
Xiao Yao had no idea that there would be so many people in the room next door. If she had known, she would never have said such sweet words in public.
"My dear child, Grandfather won't do anything to them. Just rest and recuperate here."
"What kind of place is this? It's so luxurious and grand. It must be an extraordinary place." Xiao Yao told herself to take it slow. After a while, maybe her grandfather would calm down!
"This is the palace courtyard."
"The palace..." Xiao Yao wondered why she was here. If Prince Yun knew his sworn enemy had moved in, he would mock and criticize her. No, this place couldn't be stayed for long. Xiao Yao wanted to sit up and follow her grandfather home.
"Is there something you want?" General Xiao asked quickly when he saw his granddaughter struggling to get up.
"Let's go home. How can we cause trouble to the prince and princess? Don't you think so?" The most important thing is that there is a person here whom I cannot offend, but it is very easy to offend. The granddaughter doesn't know how to face him or how to live in peace with him!
"This child is so sensible." Yin Qianhua whispered to Tong Mingyu.
King Jing also nodded in agreement.
Yun Yichen sat quietly on the side, his expression expressionless and unremarkable.
"You have to stay because Dr. Lin lives here."
"How long can I stay here?" Xiao Yao now missed her own Yuanyuan Building very much.
"Maybe I'll have to stay for a while."
"What if I miss you? Nanny Ruan can take care of my granddaughter's health. There is no need to trouble the miracle doctor!" This life is unbearable. Xiao Yao is not sure whether she can recover from her illness if she stays here, but she is sure that she will get sick if she meets Master Yun.
"Put aside your little thoughts. Since grandpa promised not to punish your parents and uncle severely, he will keep his word. Whether you go back or not, grandpa will not back down." General Xiao said in a clear attitude.
"I want to see my parents, my second uncle and aunt, my third uncle and aunt, my fifth brother and Aqi tomorrow." Xiao Yao named the names of the relevant people one by one in one breath.
"This is not our yard. You can't see whoever you want to see. If you don't obey me, I will punish your father and send him to the northwest to mine."
“It just so happens that I haven’t been to the Northwest yet!”
"What's your business?"
"That's what you said. My dad has gone mining, and since Mom and Dad have such a good relationship, he must go with us. My fifth brother and I are so young, and we can't live without Mom, so of course we have to go!"
"Are you threatening grandpa?" Even the self-torture trick was used, the little guy has become more capable.
"Not only that, if my father was injured, I wouldn't be in the mood to recuperate. I'm also worried about my second uncle's family not having a daughter. Although my third uncle has Ruyi, my feelings for him are irreplaceable."
"so what!"
"Hey! If the three of them get hurt, I will definitely go home. Let me stay with them and you so that we can get hurt together."
"I won't beat them, nor will I let them go mining. Now you can finally stay here and recuperate in peace!"
"You also need to take care of your health. Extreme joy or sorrow, and too much emotional fluctuation will not help your recovery from your injuries. You also need to take medicine and rest on time. Your granddaughter is not around, so you must take good care of yourself, understand?"
"Are you comforting your grandfather?" It was clearly a disguised warning to me not to get angry and it would be better to just let the matter go. I don't know where this kid got all these tricks from.
King Jing listened to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson in the inner room and felt moved and amused. This child was so smart that in just a short while, he had almost worn away General Xiao's anger.
"Yes! This was told to my granddaughter by a female doctor!"
"When did you know a female doctor?"
"We met in Suzhou!"
Tong Mingyu: It’s over. Before one problem is solved, another one arises. This time things are even more troublesome.
"You even went to Suzhou. You're such a good old Tong! You dared to kidnap my granddaughter while I was away. I'll go to Suzhou to settle the score with him tomorrow."
Xiao Yao felt like she had gotten into trouble. After a moment of shock, she asked cautiously, "Grandfather, if I tell you now that it was just a dream, would you believe me?"
"What do you think?" General Xiao answered his granddaughter with gritted teeth.
"Mom! I didn't mean it. I seem to have gotten into trouble again. What should I do?" Xiao Yao wailed, rubbing her hair.
"Haha, haha..." King Jing laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. This little girl was so funny. No wonder his wife wanted his daughter to be friends with her!
"Who's outside?" Xiao Yao asked vigilantly.
"A lot of people, you've made a big fool of yourself this time." Xiao Jingyan leaned against the door frame and told his little niece this very unfortunate news with a gloating look.
"Is it too late to kill and silence the witness?"
"I'm afraid it's too late." Xiao Jingyan shook his head and continued to anger his niece.
"I'm a patient. What I just said doesn't count, right, grandfather?"
"Yes, those requests for me to forgive your father and uncle are meaningless."
"Oh no! Who have I offended? No, I need to sleep now. When I wake up, I'll forget everything, except for my request that you not punish Daddy and the others. Please also forget everything, okay?" As for who else was outside and what they heard, Xiao Yao no longer dared to imagine. She pulled the quilt over her and huddled in, desperate to end this nightmare as soon as possible.
General Xiao tucked in his granddaughter's quilt and took away his younger son who wanted to continue watching the fun. He thought that too much stimulation would be detrimental to his granddaughter's recovery, so let's stop here for today!
"General Xiao, I would like to adopt you, my little granddaughter, as my goddaughter." King Jing was in a very good mood and said in a very serious attitude.
"It's getting late today. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Yun Yichen suddenly interrupted. He didn't like his father's proposal. Why should he recognize the little girl as his daughter? This idea was not good at all.
