Chapter 723 Chen Jiaoyi is here (Part , Part )
The sun was shining brightly as the Lin family's carriage passed through the bustling downtown and finally arrived at their doorstep.
Wan Niang got off the carriage holding her daughter, then turned around and looked inside the carriage.
The two old men had important things to do and did not get out of the car.
Wang Cheng sat in the car and comforted his sister, "Wanniang, Shunan and I will deal with some people outside, don't worry about us, we will return home after we finish our work."
Lin Yuzan also warned, "Qing Jie'er, you and Gun Gun, stop making a fuss. If I find out, I will definitely punish you two when I get home."
Xiao Yining: (* ̄m ̄)
The little kid was not to be outdone, so he kindly reminded, "Dad, why don't you bring some steamed buns made by mom? This way, my uncle can save money and marry my aunt earlier, so my grandparents won't have to work so hard!"
Wang and Lin: ...
The two old men looked at each other, and there was a hint of disgust in each other's eyes.
But at this moment, they all turned their eyes to the little kid at the same time and shouted in unison: "Shut up, Sister Qing!"
Before he finished speaking, their faces darkened at the same time, they quickly lowered the curtains, and the carriage hurriedly set off.
For some reason, Wan Niang felt a little worried and looked at the carriage going further and further away with some reluctance.
She lowered her eyes to look at her daughter, and smiled gently again. She tapped her daughter's forehead and said angrily, "You always bully your uncle and your father. When they have dealt with everything and have time, they will definitely punish you."
Little Yining was not afraid at all, grinning and showing her little baby teeth, "Sister Qing is not like that, Sister Qing is very filial!"
Wan Niang smiled, looked worriedly at the end of the road again, and then carried her daughter into the house.
In the carriage, Wang and Lin's expressions did not improve after they could no longer see the little kid. Instead, they became even more solemn.
Wang Cheng gently opened the car curtain a little, took a look at the street scene outside, then closed the curtain, took out a bloody strip of cloth from his sleeve, and slowly unfolded it.
Lin Yuzan also came over and stared at the cloth strip, on which was an address written in blood.
He sighed in a low voice: "I didn't expect that Commander Yu would give this item to us even though we only met once."
Wang Cheng sighed, "He is just desperate. I think he will be doomed if we leave. It's a pity that we are also under surveillance now. We have to be careful everywhere and cannot go here to check in person."
Then, he changed the subject and reminded, "Lu Ting was almost killed before, most likely because of the safety lock. You should also be careful and don't let Wan Niang become a widow."
Lin Yuzan took the bloody cloth from his hand, put it in her arms, and glared at him unhappily: "Don't worry, I will be able to stay with Wan Niang forever, and I will also be able to protect Qing Jie'er until she grows up."
Then, he also sighed deeply: "I just never thought that we used to regard Yunfei Academy as a paradise, but now it has become a place to save our lives and deal with these people."
Wang Cheng glanced at his old rival without comment, then took out two green steamed buns from the secret compartment of the carriage, handed one over, and changed the subject: "Eat it, don't let Wan Niang and Qing Jie'er down. Wait, my uncle will go to the Ministry of Works to get you a glass of water."
Lin Yuzan: ...
The carriage continued to move forward, and the two old men looked at each other again. The originally harmonious atmosphere instantly dissipated, and the air was quietly filled with silent gunpowder smoke. Blending into the bustling city.
At this time in the Lin family, Xiao Yining and Wang Gungun were competing with each other as expected. They held their bowls and ate rice desperately. There were two assistants beside them who kept picking up dishes for them and put the rice grains that fell on the table back into their bowls.
Lin Yinhu propped up his head and admired the two little ones wolfing down their food for a moment. He couldn't help but sigh, "I've only seen this happen when Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang were eating."
As soon as he finished speaking, a tender voice sounded from the opposite side of him, asking doubtfully: "Brother Tiger, who are Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang?"
The boy smiled innocently and responded, "Ms. Chen, Xiao Hei and Xiao Huang are both puppies, one male and one female."
Two little ones: ...
"Brother Tiger, who do you say is a dog?"
The two little ones raised their heads and asked angrily in unison. As expected, they were too excited and choked on the rice grains, and started coughing repeatedly.
Seeing this, Chen Jiaoyi quickly stood up and gently patted their backs. She also carefully scooped two small bowls of sweet soup for them to moisten their throats, and persuaded them: "Don't talk while eating. Sister Princess and Brother Gungun should finish their meal before talking!"
Little Yining raised his eyes to glance at her, responded obediently, then lowered his eyes depressedly and continued to eat.
Just as she stepped into the house, she met Wang Gungun holding his big bowl, waving it in front of her, saying that he was going to have lunch with Qingshanjun.
She acted decisively and immediately complained to her mother that she was hungry, begging her pitifully to let her come over and have some food and drink.
Unexpectedly, after her constant persuasion, when her mother finally let her come here, she unexpectedly saw Chen Jiaoyi who had moved in earlier, and her mother also pulled her own mother over to have a private conversation.
It was obvious that her neighbor, Mrs. Liu, wanted to take Chen Jiaoyi in to be taken care of, but her family chose to go somewhere far away and asked her mother to look after her. Any smart person could see the strangeness in this.
Thinking of this, the kid suddenly lost his appetite and even ate a little slower.
At this moment, Lin Yinhu picked up the rice grains on the table with chopsticks, mixed them with some unknown liquid, and put them into the little kid's bowl. He also taught her earnestly: "Qingjie, don't waste it. These grains are hard-earned."
Xiao Yining: (*  ̄︿ ̄), I have even less appetite!
The little girl put the bowl on the table and said with a pout, "Brother Hu, stop eating. Sister Qing is full!"
"Ah? Sister Qing is full so quickly!"
The young man looked at the bowl with half of the rice still in it, somewhat unconvinced, and picked up the bowl, preparing to feed the child himself: "Qing Jie'er, you've only eaten a little, eat some more!"
Little Yining hurriedly got off the ground and ran away, away from his cousin who was very thrifty with food.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the door, she bumped into Qingshan-kun who came over after hearing the noise.
Qingshan Jun quickly reached out to steady the little kid and asked gently, "Princess Le'an, is there something wrong? Why are you running so fast?"
Little Yining took the opportunity to hide behind him and responded, "Uncle Qingshan, Sister Qing is done eating!"
Lin Yinhu chased after her with a bowl in his hand, "Master, Sister Qing hasn't finished her meal yet!"
Qingshan Jun lowered his eyes and glanced at the rice in the bowl, and laughed a little: "Brother Hu, a person knows how much rice he wants to eat, so don't force it, just put it there!"
"That's right, Brother Hu is bad!" Little Yining pouts in agreement.
Lin Yinhu looked at the unhappy kid and had no choice but to compromise: "Qing Jie'er, I'll wait for my uncle to come back and give him this meal. He likes to eat your leftovers."
Then, he returned to the dining table with the bowl and used the same trick again, picking up the fallen rice grains and putting them back into Wang Gungun's bowl, successfully making Wang Gungun lose his appetite.
When Qingshan Jun saw this scene, he knew why Xiao Yining didn't want to eat anymore. He held his forehead in silence and spoke again: "Brother Hu, the rice on the table is already dirty, don't put it in the bowl, or your brothers and sisters will get stomach upset after eating it."
Lin Yinhu thought for a moment and then put down his chopsticks obediently, "Okay, Master."
Wang Gungun was successfully rescued. He quickly took his big bowl and moved to the side.
At the same time, Qingshan Jun led the little girl back to the dining table, gave her another small bowl of rice, and asked casually, "Princess Le'an, how is your second uncle's face recovering?"
Chen Jiaoyi paused for a moment while picking up the food, and then asked with concern, "Sister Princess, have you seen Uncle Wang Er today?"
Hearing this, Qingshan Jun focused his attention on her and started to act out his old habit: "Miss Chen, you still have half a day off. If you want to see Wang Lin, you can ask your mother to take you to the Iron Eagle Guard's camp in the afternoon and wait for him to come out for inspection."
Chen Jiaoyi:......
The little girl stared at Qingshan Jun, her eyes frozen for a moment, but she came back to her senses in an instant, looked at the little kid staring at her curiously, and explained with a smile: "I really haven't seen Uncle Wang Er for a long time, and I really want to see him play with the big hammer again."
Little Yining nodded in understanding, and did not delve into the truth of her words, and replied truthfully: "Sister Chen, my parents and uncle took me to the Iron Eagle Guard Camp this morning, but I didn't see my second uncle's face, so I don't know if his face is better."
Chen Jiaoyi:......, I didn’t ask that.
She glanced at Qingshan-kun and saw him smile and nod at the little kid, then walk to a chair beside him and make tea for himself comfortably.
She pursed her lips and began to act like a caring older sister again, smiling as she picked up the dishes that she thought were delicious and gave them to the two little kids.
"I didn't expect that my little sister actually went to the Iron Eagle Guard Camp after I mentioned it casually. Is there anything fun there?"
Little Yining frowned, thinking about what to say. Wang Gungun, who was standing beside him, had already raised his head from his bowl and said sarcastically, "Why are you being so sentimental? My aunt and her family were summoned to the Iron Eagle Guard Camp by the Emperor."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingshan Jun's eyes fell on Chen Jiaoyi again with interest, and he explained in a gentle voice: "Miss Chen, Princess Le'an went to the Iron Eagle Guard Camp on an errand, not privately as you think."
Chen Jiaoyi had three more inquiring gazes on her face. She blushed and defended herself, "Mr. Qingshan, Brother Gungun, I don't have such thoughts. I just asked casually. I also want to know if Uncle Wang Er is good or not."
"Why are you pretending to be a good person? I just saw Brother Hu eating dirty food for us, and you didn't even warn us, humph!"
Wang Gungun didn't buy it at all, and in order to prevent repeating the same mistake, he moved the bowl in front of Qingshan Jun.
Lin Yinhu smiled innocently and helped Chen Jiaoyi out of the embarrassment: "Don't be angry, Miss Chen's family should be the same, not wasting food. When the uncle sees Sister Qing drop some food, he will pick it up and eat it himself, and he will also nag her."
As he spoke, the young man also received two accusatory glances. He scratched his head embarrassedly, then looked at Chen Jiaoyi and asked for confirmation: "Isn't it, Miss Chen?"
Chen Jiaoyi's smile gradually became uncomfortable. She nodded and said nothing more.
It was only then that Xiao Yining seemed to remember that she had not replied, and she said seriously, "Sister Chen, the Iron Eagle Guard Camp is not fun. My second uncle was scolded in there, and they all don't want to listen to my second uncle."
After saying that, the kid lost his appetite again and handed the bowl to Lin Yinhu.
This time, Lin Yinhu did not urge them to eat, but put the two small bowls of leftover rice together.
Lin Yuchan dinner +1
Seeing this, Wang Gungun also sent his leftovers over, pretending to be filial: "Brother Hu, give my rice to my uncle as well. He has been eating steamed buns for a few days and has become thinner."
Lin Yuchan dinner +1
The young man arched his eyebrows and praised: "I knew that Gun Gun liked little uncle the most, otherwise he wouldn't let him beat you!"
Wang GunGun: ...
The little boy snorted at him, too lazy to argue with this annoying person. He put his hands behind his back and walked out swaying from side to side.
Seeing this, little Yining also hurriedly chased after the little sister, and did not stop even when the little sister called her.
Chen Jiaoyi watched the little kid run away without looking back, and twisted her handkerchief with a hurt look on her face: "Why does Princess Sister look like she doesn't like me coming over?"
This made Qingshan Jun ask in confusion: "Miss Chen, why are you still here? You and your mother are about to part, don't you need to say something personal?"
Lin Yinhu also noticed that something was wrong with this person, and hurriedly asked, "Yes, Miss Chen, Qingjie'er and Gungun went to my aunt to act like a spoiled child. Why didn't you go to your mother? You've already eaten your meal!"
Chen Jiaoyi: ...
The little sister was speechless for a moment, and stood up in a somewhat awkward manner, "Brother Hu, you forgot that I was just taking care of the princess's sister and brother Gungun."
When this was mentioned, Lin Yinhu glanced at the leftovers, showing a rare displeasure, and complained: "Then Miss Chen should not be taken care of in the future. You keep serving them food, but they don't eat. If the uncle finds out, he will be angry again."
Chen Jiaoyi didn't expect that she would be blamed. After she apologized awkwardly, she hurriedly followed the two kids.
The room suddenly became empty, and a light laugh was heard.
A trace of sarcasm appeared on Qingshan Jun's face, and he said teasingly, "It's really hard for Miss Chen. She doesn't like a prostitute like me, but she still wants to come here."
Lin Yinhu paused while cleaning the dishes, and tilted his head thoughtfully: "Master, why do I feel that Miss Chen is trying to trick Sister Qing? This person is so strange. I never thought so when I met her before."
Qingshan Jun nodded with satisfaction, "You have made a lot of progress. Go and see your aunt and see what this man is going to do. Now your uncle is in prison. It will take some time for him to get out. He can't take care of you, nor can he take care of his wife and daughter."
Lin Yinhu nodded obediently, and instantly became full of energy. He picked up the bowl of rice and ran out quickly.
At this moment, there was constant laughter and joy in the Lin family courtyard.
As soon as the two little ones ran back to Wan Niang, they snuggled up to her and acted as her protectors, which made Mrs. Chen laugh continuously.
"Princess Le'an, you are so considerate at such a young age. Madam Lin, you are so blessed!"
Wan Niang touched the two little ones' heads lovingly, and then she saw Chen Jiaoyi walk in gracefully. Recalling what Madam Chen had just entrusted to her, she said, "Madam Chen, I have many children. Although it is not a big deal to take care of one more, it is better for Miss Chen to have a female relative by her side. At least there must be someone she can talk to when she wakes up in the middle of the night."
Madam Chen turned to look at her graceful daughter, full of reluctance, but replied helplessly: "I also want to take Jiaojiao to North City, but Jiaojiao still needs to study in the girls' school, and the husbands of other female relatives are also in North City, so I can't force it."
"Fortunately, Ayi is close to Jiaojiao, and her great-grandfather also said that Jiaojiao should fulfill her filial duty for us. With the two of them taking care of her, my husband and I will feel more at ease if Jiaojiao stays in Yanjing."
Hearing this, Wan Niang couldn't help but frown, but this was someone else's family affair, so she didn't say much. She just turned her gaze to Chen Jiaoyi and saw that her eyes were red and her face was full of sadness.
She smiled gently again, thinking of saying a few words to comfort him.
However, before she could open her mouth, Lin Yinhu's voice was heard outside.
"Madam Chen, Uncle Yi and Duke Chen are still recuperating in the palace. They can't take care of Miss Chen."
