Chapter 808 Pretending to be a Poor Dad (2) + (3)
After hearing what their elder sister said, the little ones looked at each other in bewilderment. Even Yu Ke guessed that the two adults had done it on purpose.
She couldn't help but ask, "Miss Zhang, those two adults were so reckless. Did Grandpa Leng have to search for a long time before he found them?"
Zhang Nishang nodded. "Yes, my grandfather told me that Grandpa Leng grew up in the palace and was as close to the former Crown Prince as a brother. The former Crown Prince sent people searching for him every day. Unfortunately, even after the former Crown Prince was defeated by Your Majesty, Grandpa Leng was never found. It wasn't until a month after the former Crown Prince's death that his brother-in-law, Marquis Xuanping, found him in a secret cellar in the wild."
"Later, my grandfather accompanied the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple to visit Grandpa Leng. He saw that Grandpa Leng's appearance was disfigured, and his body was covered with burn marks. Only then did everyone know that Grandpa Leng was captured by his enemies because of his outstanding appearance."
Hearing this, Xiao Yining frowned and thought about Leng Qingyin's smooth neck, "But Grandpa Leng's injuries don't look serious!"
"Sister Princess, that's because Grandma Song found a lot of scar removal ointments for Grandpa Leng, so Grandpa Leng was able to come out and meet people." Zhang Nishang explained.
Xiao Yining: -`д?-, is the Jade Snow Skin Cream made with human oil? Why is the effect so good?
Yu Ke looked at Pei Yi standing aside, his face full of regret: "That Grandpa Leng is so pitiful, just because he is good-looking!"
Pei Yi: (﹁ ﹁) ~→He can do without this face!
At this time, Zhang Nishang said mysteriously: "In fact, my grandfather has another idea in his mind, but he has not told me."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on her again.
The little girl blushed, her voice as thin as a mosquito's. "My grandfather was able to become the Jingzhao Yin, so he must have been quite capable. He told me that Grandpa Leng's enemies were very strange. If they hated his face, they would have taken this opportunity to humiliate him. But Grandpa Leng had been missing for so many days, and only had minor injuries. It was really illogical. So, he went to the cellar where Grandpa Leng was imprisoned, trying to find any clues."
"only......"
At this point, Zhang Nishang sighed like a little adult and shook her head regretfully.
"It just happened that my grandfather had just entered the cellar when he met Grandma Song and her men. She didn't know my grandfather was in there, so she ordered them to destroy the cellar."
"My grandfather desperately escaped and tried to catch up with Grandma Song to confront her, but he saw her leading her men to a separate courtyard and setting fire to it and everyone inside."
As soon as he finished speaking, two sounds of swallowing were heard in the box.
Yu Ke and Xiao Yining looked at each other subconsciously, both of them were shocked by the woman's behavior, and an indescribable bone-chilling chill emerged from their bodies uncontrollably.
Wang Gungun added a timely aside: "This is why women who are not ruthless will not have a stable position. You should learn from this."
Everyone:...
Pei Yi covered the little boy's mouth and manually muted the microphone.
"What happened next?" Xiao Yining asked curiously after digesting the news.
Zhang Nishang's face showed depression, and the matter ended.
"My grandfather was only a minor official at the time, fearing disaster. He mentioned the destruction of the cellar to the two lords, but remained silent about the rest. The two lords simply laughed it off, saying the thieves were desperate and didn't take it seriously."
"My grandfather said that in the officialdom, most people try to protect themselves and keep things secret. Although he was energetic when he was young, he didn't dare to dig deep for fear of endangering his family. He also told me not to reveal anything."
Everyone: (￣-￣), but your grandfather can’t control his mouth, and neither can you!
Then, as if they were on the same page, the four little melon eaters promised in unison: "We won't tell anyone."
Zhang Nishang breathed a sigh of relief and gave her friends a shy smile of satisfaction.
On the other side, Leng Qingyin slightly turned his eyes to the side, his gaze swept across the partition wall, and the wine glass in his hand did not move for a long time.
Seeing this, his subordinate beside him rolled his eyes and walked forward to ask smartly, "Master, can you please invite Master Pei over? The next room is full of girls, and he might feel uncomfortable staying there."
Leng Qingyin drank the wine in his hand and glanced at the wall again. Laughter and joyful voices could be heard from the other side.
He replied in a low voice, "No need. Princess Le'an is still young and needs the company of an elder. Go and tell the shopkeeper of Chun Man Lou to put the expenses of the next door on the Leng Mansion's account. Leave now."
The subordinate was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced at the back of his master who was drinking alone. He responded respectfully and retreated.
Xiao Yining's banquet bill was transferred again.
A cold voice also rang out from the box: "Song Lanyin, you really are so good..."
The subordinate paused slightly when closing the door, then closed it again as if nothing had happened.
He looked at the private room next door and saw the bustling scene of waiters coming in and out. He couldn't help but shook his head and turned to walk towards the stairs.
At this moment, a young figure entered his field of vision. His heart suddenly jumped, and he hurried forward, bowing and saying, "Sir, why are you here?"
Leng Shuyu looked anxious and glanced at him hurriedly: "Where is my father? Take me there quickly!"
The subordinate made a gesture with his eyes and said, "Sir, the master is in a bad mood, you..."
Before he could finish his words, Leng Shuyu pushed him away impatiently and walked towards Box A where his father was.
Unexpectedly, when he passed by Box B, two familiar children's voices instantly came into his ears.
Leng Shuyu suddenly stopped and turned around in surprise.
In the box, two little kids who had met him a few times were fighting over a golden finger.
The young man standing beside them had his arms crossed and a helpless smile on his face.
His eyes moved around the two little kids, and when he saw the safety lock on the little girl, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"I didn't expect that Senior Brother Leng is here too. What a coincidence. Why don't we sit at the same table?" Pei Yi raised his head at the right time and looked at him with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the two children stopped fighting, held the golden finger together, ran to Leng Shuyu, and asked in unison, "Master Leng, are you here to play with us?"
The two little sisters also stood up from their seats and bowed to Leng Shuyu.
Five pairs of eyes stared at the young man, waiting for his response.
Leng Shuyu averted his gaze uncomfortably and replied, "I'm here to look for my father, so I won't disturb your leisure time."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to react, he quickly walked to the next room and pushed the door open.
The two little kids peeked out to see him disappear at the door, glanced at each other, and then separated in disgust.
The stolen golden finger was also taken away by the young man who came from behind.
Pei Yi lowered his eyes to look at the little girl who was paying attention to other people's affairs, took her chubby hand and said, "Qingjie, stop making trouble with Gungun and eat your meal properly."
Xiao Yining nodded absentmindedly, but her eyes were fixed on the partition wall.
As soon as Leng Shuyu entered his father's box, he couldn't wait to tell his father that the overwhelming rumors were not spread by his mother, but he was sternly stopped by his father. Then his voice of defending his mother became smaller, but his words were mixed with the content of his mother's murderous behavior towards his father.
Xiao Yining: (▼へ▼メ), the Leng family is really bad from the old to the young!!!
The young man followed the child's line of sight and glanced at the wall, asking, "Sister Qing, what's wrong?"
"Uncle, Qingjie was thinking of a common saying: People from the same family tend to be similar." The little kid murmured in reply.
Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but think of what she and Wang Gungun had just heard from Leng Shuyu, and she immediately became interested and reached out to take the golden finger on the table.
He chuckled softly and nodded in agreement, "That's quite reasonable! Just like today, if you and Gungun didn't eat properly, your cousin and his wife would definitely punish you both together if they knew. There would be no room for negotiation."
Two little ones: =????(??? ????), this guy must be a devil!
The friendship between fellow villagers capsized in an instant. Little Yining immediately let go of his hand and quickly returned to the dinner table with Wang Gungun.
Pei Yi saw this scene and couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, then walked towards the dining table.
However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he took a step, little Yining got down from the dining table again, quickly ran to the outer corridor, stuck his head out of the railing, and looked into the distance.
Wang Gungun followed closely behind him and took the golden finger from his hand. Like Xiao Yining, he also stretched his head out and looked at the street scene in the distance.
Pei Yi:......
Pei Yi looked at the two little butts facing him on the outer corridor, and his eyes twitched uncontrollably.
At this moment, he missed the "baby-beating artifact" in Wan Niang's hand so much.
The two little ones' actions made the two older sisters put down their chopsticks. They exchanged a puzzled look and stood up together and walked towards the corridor.
Yu Ke glanced at the street scene and asked curiously, "Sister Princess, what are you and Gun Gun looking at?"
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yining replied, "Sister Yu Ke, my father is coming!"
The little sister cried out in disbelief, and hurriedly leaned over the railing to look in the direction the little kid was looking, but there was no sign of Lin Yuzan.
At this time, Pei Yi also came over. He frowned and glanced in the direction Xiao Yining was looking. Then he said, "My cousin is almost here."
Two little sisters: (?_?), why didn’t we see it!
The little sisters looked at the street scene in the distance again, and soon they saw a huge team walking towards them. At the end of the team was a cart, on which sat a disheveled, blood-soaked man, parading through the streets. This man was Lin Yuzan.
Little Yining also noticed the team "escorting" her father, and muttered to herself that she had indeed heard it right.
Just now, the moment she sat down, she faintly heard her father's voice. When she was about to pick up the chopsticks, she heard her father's words again that he wanted to buy some steamed buns to fill his stomach.
Now seeing her father coming by car, she couldn't help but give a thumbs up to her ears.
Xiao Yining: ?????＞＜)? It’s really great!
At this moment, as the team approached, the crowd below began to stir, and the discussions came one after another, all of which reached the little kid's ears.
"Could that person be Mr. Lin? Why does he look like this?"
"How could you forget that a large group of assassins broke into the Lin family last night and wanted to silence him?"
"That's right. I guess they were all stunned by the sudden disaster."
"..."
Some of the onlookers sighed and looked at Lin Yuzan with pity.
Lin Yuzan seemed unaware and sat cross-legged on the cart with a dull look in his eyes. Countless eyes were focused on him, and he looked miserable, like a monkey, being watched by everyone.
"But I heard that Mr. Lin was assassinated because his mother was the former Crown Princess?"
"That's right. He was absorbed in his studies at Yunfei Academy. How could he possibly offend anyone? Even if he did have friction with someone, he wouldn't have suffered such a brutal attack. I heard that assassins were rampant in the West and East Alleys last night. The scene was so chaotic that everyone there was scared and couldn't even sleep."
"Is this... could it be true, as the rumors say, that His Majesty wants to get rid of him as soon as possible..."
"Hush, stop talking nonsense! The guy above only has one sibling left, so it shouldn't be that bad!"
"You've forgotten that back then, His Majesty fought the former Crown Prince to the death, nearly massacring Yanjing. Lin Xiucai is the former Crown Princess's child. It's inevitable that His Majesty will bring up the past and kill him..."
"But...there has been no news of the former Crown Princess since then. Mr. Lin should have no connection with the former Crown Prince!"
"It's hard to say. Even if there's no connection, it depends on what the higher-ups think."
"It's true!"
"..."
Little Yining looked at the people who were discussing speechlessly, and watched as public opinion swerved once again, leaning towards the dispute between Old Baby and the former prince, and even interjected a few words about whether her father could come back alive.
Lin Yuzan seemed to have heard these words as well. His body trembled suddenly and he looked around nervously. As if being pulled by some unknown force, his eyes met his daughter's unexpectedly.
The old man's eyes were scarlet and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he had thousands of words hidden in his mouth. To outsiders, he looked so pitiful.
The three little ones who knew his temper well: ..., this old man wants to make trouble again!
Little Yining suddenly had a sudden inspiration and followed the old man's lead, crying out emotionally, "Dad, where are you going?"
Lin Yuzan hurriedly used his sleeve to pretend to wipe the corners of his eyes, and his originally clean face was stained with blood again.
When the onlookers saw this scene, they couldn't bear to watch any longer, turned their heads away and sighed.
"How tragic! Scholar Lin actually shed tears of blood."
"That person above is Princess Le'an, right? She's really pitiful. I wonder if her father will be able to return alive after this trip."
"If her grandmother were to implicate her, I'm afraid she wouldn't even be able to keep her status as a princess."
"It's really unpredictable. It was so glorious yesterday."
"..."
Countless discussions filled with sympathy flooded into Xiao Yining's ears, and she really wanted to retort loudly: "Her uncle would never hurt her father. Her father is easy to use and saves money, but he is the most capable traitor around her uncle!"
At this moment, Lin Yuzan's choked voice rang out in response: "Qing Jie'er, the emperor is just testing Dad's knowledge, it's nothing serious. After Dad enters the palace, you must listen to your mother's words."
After these seemingly last words were spoken, many people among the onlookers sighed that it was a sin.
"It's said that misfortune doesn't affect children. Your Majesty shouldn't vent his anger on Mr. Lin, right?"
"You've forgotten the old saying: Cut the grass at its roots."
"..."
