Chapter 216 Goddaughter
Compared to Xiao Yining's letter, the other two were much more serious, and were filled with words of concern.
After Xie Jinzhi read the letter, he followed Zhang Liangchuan to find Wang and Lin, bowed deeply, and said, "Junior Brother Lin's daughter really helped me a lot today. My daughter Ah Man is also studying in the girls' school. Something happened there that day, and I wanted to ask the old man at the side door to find out, but he couldn't. Today she wrote to tell me that everything is fine, and I feel relieved."
Lin Yuzan didn't dare to take credit for his daughter's work. "It was also because of Eunuch Pei's kindness that he couldn't bear to see the three little girls running around anxiously at the foot of the mountain."
"My Ah Man is here?" Xie Jinzhi said in surprise, then smiled bitterly, "Eunuch Pei has left, and we can't spread the news. The officers and soldiers below are unresponsive."
In the past few days, not only he wanted to send the message out, but others also tried to send messages to their families to report their safety, but they were all stopped by the soldiers at the mountain gate.
"Oh, just before Eunuch Pei left, he told me that the soldiers will leave tonight." Lin Yuzan told me another exciting news.
After hearing this, Xie Jinzhi immediately thanked him and excitedly ran back to share the good news with his classmates.
Zhang Liangchuan looked at his cheerful back and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. He looked at Wang and Lin and said, "Brother Lin, Brother Wang, this Linglong Courtyard has been burned down. I'm afraid that Sister Qing won't be able to live in it for a while after she comes back. There are so many bad things happening in your courtyard. Why don't you move out?"
Wang and Lin looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Wang Cheng stepped forward and whispered in Zhang Liangchuan's ear, "We didn't move before the incident, so we can't move now."
Zhang Liangchuan also gave a kind reminder, and he was not unhappy even though others were unwilling. He glanced at the hands of the two and reminded them, "Those two brothers, please be careful. Three people in your courtyard have injured their hands."
"Don't worry." Wang Cheng nodded slightly, his eyes seeming to casually sweep across Leng Shuyu in the distance.
Leng Shuyu felt something in his heart and turned around to look, only to see Lin Yuzan pulling Wang Cheng away in a hurry, leaving only his back to everyone.
"He is really smart and shows up in front of Eunuch Pei." Chen Yang followed his gaze with a sarcastic look on his face.
Leng Shuyu lowered his head and closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile: "Brother Chen is wrong, Junior Brother Lin's cousin is the adopted son of Eunuch Pei. If we make Eunuch Pei unhappy, he will naturally stand up."
"Humph, they are really good at taking advantage of others." Chen Yang said with disdain, "I heard from my senior brother who came back from Yanzhou that they got close to Lord Cui within half a day of arriving in Yanzhou."
"Brother Chen, why bother about them? Getting good grades is the right thing to do."
The students at the mountain gate left in groups of three or four to have lunch, and soon only the soldiers guarding the gate were left.
Wang and Lin, who had originally left, reappeared.
Lin Yuzan held the jade pendant that Pei Dafu had just given him, waved it in front of the officers and soldiers, and then swaggered down the mountain with Wang Cheng.
At this moment, only Xiao Yining and Pei Yi were left at the foot of the mountain. The other two young ladies had already left. Pei Dafu arrived too late, so the two girls had to rush home to have lunch after delivering the letter. Xiao Yining also took the opportunity to say that she wanted to go home with her cousin, so she let the two girls go back first.
Pei Yi also sent Ah Er to the restaurant to buy food early. As soon as the two ladies left, Xiao Yining started to eat.
He looked at Xiao Yining lovingly and said, "Tell me, your cousin's wife is not here today, where do you want to go?"
Little Yining's big eyes rolled around, and he asked tentatively, "Cousin, can you take me to Nanfeng Pavilion? I don't want to do anything, I just want to secretly take a look at Qingshanjun."
"...No." Pei Yi refused without even thinking about it.
At this time, the curtain of the car was lifted. Lin Yuzan glanced at Pei Yi, said sorry for the long wait, and sat next to his daughter.
Wang Cheng did the same. He said thank you and pushed Pei Yi into the corner without any hesitation.
Pei Yi: ...
Little Yining held the bowl, looked at the big man who suddenly appeared with a confused look on his face, and asked stupidly, "Can Yunfei Academy come out now?"
Lin Yuzan glanced at her unhappily and scolded her, "Qing Jie, who told you to stop the imperial edict-issuing team? If Pei Dafu hadn't blamed you, you would have been beheaded right now."
"No matter what time, you must not stop the angel team." Wang Cheng also said, and sighed helplessly, "Don't be angry, Shun'an, Qingjie is still a child, just teach her slowly."
"But I miss my dad and uncle, and so does mom." Little Yining shrank her neck because of the scolding, and tears almost burst out.
She really didn't know it would be so serious.
Lin Yuzan patted her little head soothingly and said softly, "There is no such thing as ignorance without guilt in this world. You just have to weigh the pros and cons. There is a copy of the Great Zhou Calendar in Dad's study. Qingjie, read it more when you are at home."
He looked at Pei Yi sternly, "You too, as an elder, shouldn't have allowed her to make such a mistake."
"Got it." Pei Yi also replied obediently with a pursed mouth.
After Lin Yuzan finished speaking, he sighed in exhaustion.
Wang Cheng reached out to wipe the rice grains from the corner of Xiao Yining's mouth, and said softly, "Although Sister Qing has the protection of the emperor behind her, if she is too arrogant and loses the emperor's heart, others will deal with Sister Qing, do you understand? Fortunately, you are young now. For what happened today, Pei Dafu will only think that you are being used. When you grow up, you will not think so."
Little Yining nodded sensibly, "Sister Qing knows she was wrong."
She glanced at Wang Cheng's exposed wrist and said in surprise, "Uncle is injured!"
Wang Cheng retracted his hand, sneered and touched his right wrist, "This little injury is nothing, your father and I are planning a big show."
"You can't go back now, girl. You must be careful of the Nalan family when you are outside." Wang Cheng reminded in a low voice. "The Nalan family is not as noble as you think. Your second uncle's visit is related to the Nalan family."
Little Yining looked up in surprise. Is the matter with that scumbag family not over yet?
At this time, Pei Yi spoke up, "Prince Yu has been in close contact with the crazy woman from the Nalan family these days, but there is an old man following that woman every day, and he doesn't look like a servant."
Next, Xiao Yining quietly exited the group chat holding the bowl and watched the three men communicate with each other.
The two of them stayed in Pei Yi's car for half an hour.
Lin Yuzan took one last look at his daughter and said softly, "Next time if there is a letter, you can ask Miss Ah San to deliver it. It may be expensive, but it is safe."
Little Yining pursed her lips, looking a little unhappy, and said softly, "Actually, my mother and I don't miss our father that much."
Lin Yuzan: ...
"Dad will pay for this money." Lin Yuzan said angrily through gritting his teeth.
Xiao Yining was satisfied. She looked at Wang Cheng and said, "Uncle, Qingjie will miss you too."
"No need. My uncle can't bear it." Wang Cheng waved his sleeves and walked quickly towards the mountain gate.
Xiao Yining: ...
"Remember to ask your mother to write a letter." After Lin Yuzan gave the last instruction, he left without looking back.
