Chapter 550 Who is the demon? (2)
Sheng Jingzhan suppressed his inner turmoil, lowered his eyes slightly, and stared at the little boy's round face with a smile. Leng Mengwan's noisy words were still echoing in his ears, constantly disturbing his mood.
He suddenly glared fiercely, and the mouth of the person next to him was immediately covered tightly.
Leng Mengwan slumped in the car helplessly, tears welling up in her eyes. The previous shock of death had made her completely sober, and even the courage to struggle had disappeared completely.
The kid outside the car seemed to be frightened by his eyes, and nervously clenched his little fingers: "Qingjie, did you make Second Uncle unhappy? Just now, Qingjie made Sister Leng unhappy."
Sheng Jingzhan's face relaxed, and he still said in a gentle tone: "No, it's just that such a coincidence happened, which really caught my second uncle off guard. Sister Qing is really a lucky little star."
Little Yining blushed at the compliment and admitted generously: "Sister Qing also thinks she is a little lucky star."
The male protagonist smiled and shook his head, but he was already impatient in his heart. At this moment, the little kid under the car's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she remembered something that made her extremely happy.
Then, she asked loudly with expectation: "Second Uncle, you said Qingjie is a lucky star. Can she help my father get first place in the special exam?"
The little kid's words made Sheng Jingzhan's pupils tremble: "Sister Qing said Enke?"
However, before the little girl could respond, Zhao Ya, who was standing by, hurriedly covered her mouth and glanced at the male protagonist in panic: "My aunt, don't speak so loudly. His Majesty only mentioned this matter casually in front of you. He hasn't issued an edict yet. This matter cannot be discussed."
Sheng Jingzhan watched the actions of the master and servant without saying a word. At this moment, the little boy still did not forget to respond to him, bending his eyes and nodding vigorously.
He casually raised his eyes and looked around. His high-profile words just now had caused some people to look at him sideways, and a figure also entered his sight.
Lin Yuzan was seen wearing a plain coarse cloth gown, standing properly under the carriage of Princess Jiahe. Even when his wife lifted the curtain to talk to him, he deliberately avoided her, bowed hastily, and retreated awkwardly.
There was a barely perceptible hint of amusement and a hint of contempt in Sheng Jingzhan's eyes.
He retracted his gaze and looked at Xiao Yining again, saying calmly: "As long as he has enough knowledge, Qingjie'er's father will naturally be able to pass the imperial examination. Qingjie'er, go back, your father is still waiting for you."
He smiled at the kid again, then lowered the car curtain to block out everyone. The light inside the car suddenly dimmed, just enough to cover his thoughtful eyes.
The conversation between Xiao Yining and his servant reached his ears through the thin car curtain.
"Mammy, Sister Qing has already asked many people whether Dad can pass the imperial examination and become a juren. You can tell me."
"My Lady, the ladies you asked about are on good terms with you and are helping you cover it up!"
"Second uncle is also good friends with Sister Qing."
"Then you should speak quietly to King Yu. Don't speak so loudly. Walls have ears and people may misunderstand King Yu. King Yu's life in the court is already difficult..."
"Oh, Sister Qing, I won't ask anymore. I won't let others scold my second uncle..."
"..."
"..."
The little kid's soft words actually stirred an indescribable ripple in Sheng Jingzhan's heart. He glanced at the other person, and his eyes, which were already as deep as the abyss, became even colder. He uttered two words coldly: "Return home."
The carriage then started slowly, and the sound of the wheels turning made the three people who were leaving stop again. They stood aside and watched it leave.
Qiu Yi turned around and followed the carriage as it went further and further away. She said with a puzzled look in her eyes, "It seems that Prince Yu treats the princess very well, but why does Miss Leng treat the princess like an enemy every time she sees her? She is always confrontational and unkind to the princess every time."
As she spoke, she turned to ask Xiao Yining for her opinion: "Princess, do you also feel that Miss Leng seems to have a deep hatred?"
When Zhao Ya heard this, she was about to yell at him for speaking nonsense, but she heard the young master reply softly, "Indeed, he is an enemy."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yining turned around and stared at the carriage going away.
At this moment, as if it was fate, the curtain on the carriage was lifted again, and the hero's eyes met hers unexpectedly. The little girl immediately showed an admiring smile on her face, and silently added in her heart: As long as the hero and heroine are still talking about her father, they are Lin Yining's enemy.
Sheng Jingzhan looked at the little boy for a moment, then he lowered the car curtain expressionlessly and sat in the car in deep thought.
As soon as Leng Mengwan was freed from the restraints, she mustered up the courage to grab his sleeve and sobbed, "You have discovered it, right? Lin Yining is not a child at all. She is a witch like me, and she coaxes everyone to be on her side."
Sheng Jingzhan slightly opened his eyes, and saw her tears streaming down her face, which made him feel even more disgusted. He brushed her hand away, speaking coldly: "Witch? You are different from the rest of us, so naturally everyone looks like a witch to you."
When Leng Mengwan heard this, her face turned pale instantly and she stared at him in disbelief.
The little witch, Lin Yining, didn't know that the hat that was heavily put on her was gently taken off. Now she was free for the time being and returned to her carriage in a happy mood.
As soon as she stepped in, she heard her grandmother's teasing voice: "Look, our sister Qing has been named a princess, and the way she walks is different."
"Mom, why are you making fun of the child?" Wan Niang pulled her daughter to her side and scolded her.
Little Yining called out obediently, and then she heard her mother complaining lovingly, "Your father is such a jerk. I saw how hard it was for him to come back all the way, so I gave him a piece of lotus cake, but he refused it and said he only wanted to eat his mother's steamed buns."
Xiao Yining: ...If I didn't know that Dad was in mourning alone, I would have suspected that you two were talking while driving.
Uh…please forgive her for soaking her head in scraps from time to time in her previous life.
Little Yining looked around and didn't see her father in the car. She couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Mom, has Dad returned?"
Wan Niang lifted the curtain and signaled her daughter to look outside the car: "Look, your father has been standing there since he arrived. He ran over as soon as school was over, but he refused to get in the car. He is really stubborn."
The little girl turned her head curiously and saw her father standing a few steps away from the carriage, with some dust still visible on his clothes.
Seeing this, she quickly leaned over the car window and shouted, "Dad, Qingjie just saw my second uncle!"
Lin Yuzan naturally knew about this. He had just come and watched the whole process, and also listened to the entire conversation between his daughter and Zhao Ya.
I have to say, his daughter is really good at coaxing people.
Lin Yuzan nodded slightly, and just as he was about to speak and praise his daughter generously, he heard his daughter ask loudly: "Dad, where is my uncle?"
Lin Yuzan: ...
She is indeed an unfilial daughter who never cares about her father!!!
