Chapter 416: Encounter with the Young Eunuch
Xiao Yining's words did not shut Wang Gungun up. Instead, he responded with disdain, "Who would complain about having too much money? Besides, your money is not in your hands, but the boss's money is in his hands. Qingjie, you are the poorest here."
Killing pig heart
Xiao Yining gently pinched her empty purse, and it broke.
The two little kids looked at each other, and the familiar smoke of gunpowder filled the air again.
The next moment, two silver coins appeared in front of the two men.
Xiao Yining: ??? ? ???
Wang GunGun: ($▽$)
The two kids immediately shook hands and made peace, quickly took the silver coins, and snuggled up to each other, saying in unison: "Thank you, uncle (big brother)!"
Pei Yi: ...No wonder Wu Haoran always likes to use money to attack others, this method is indeed very effective.
The young man shook his head helplessly and said, "Take it and play with it. There's nothing to spend money on in this palace anyway."
Unfortunately, the two little kids didn't listen to his words at all. Instead, they carefully put away the silver, looked at each other, and snorted at the same time. Like two quarreling little black chickens, they turned their heads in opposite directions, and their relationship broke down again.
Pei Yi: ...No wonder Wu Haoran has to keep giving money, this relationship bought with money is indeed not very solid.
Just as the boy was feeling emotional about spending money to practice the truth, a few coughs were heard suddenly from not far away.
The three kids looked in the direction of the sound and saw the young eunuch, who was considered an acquaintance, coughing with his hands covering his mouth behind some trees, his face looking a little pale.
A strange look flashed in Xiao Yining's eyes, and he quickly exchanged a glance with his fellow villager.
At the same time, a sentence flashed through the minds of both of them: this person has been poisoned.
The body of Schisandra chinensis floated up in the lotus pond of the palace on the third day.
Although their classes were not affected, the screams of the palace maids that day still echoed in the cold palace and reached their ears clearly.
The truth of that night has long been buried, and no one can find out. The only trace is the chronic poison that the young eunuch contracted from the "Schisandra chinensis".
The young eunuch bent down and coughed a few times, then he noticed someone was watching him. He glanced sideways, then immediately bowed in fear and apologized, "I really deserve to die for disturbing Miss Lin and the two gentlemen."
"Eunuch brother, are you sick?" Little Yining opened her eyes wide and asked knowingly.
"I was just choked by the wind. Miss Laurin is concerned." The young eunuch smiled weakly and turned around to leave. However, his eyes flashed across Pei Yi for a moment and he stopped again.
He asked, "Miss Lin, you had already gone to bed when I went to Siquan Palace last time. I wonder if you like the little toy my master gave you?"
As he said that, he walked towards the three little ones.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yining reached out and took out the clay doll and presented it to the young eunuch. She carried it with her every day just for this moment.
"I like it. It was given to me by my second uncle. Qingjie likes it too." The little girl responded happily with a sweet smile.
The young eunuch smiled and nodded when he heard this, then he looked up at Pei Yi and said softly, "Master Pei, the lotus pond has not been peaceful these days. I will give you a walk."
As soon as these words came out, Pei Yi knew that this person wanted to see him for something. He thought for a moment, lowered his eyes to glance at the two little kids, and nodded, "Thank you."
Then, the two of them walked side by side in front.
Upon seeing this, Wang Gungun immediately glanced at Xiao Yining, then quickly stepped forward, took the boy's hand, and walked with him.
He even turned around and made a face at the one who was left alone.
Xiao Yining: Emmm, what a childish thing.
Pei Yi: ...
The young eunuch also saw this scene, and just as he was about to laugh and speak, he felt a warm and soft touch on his palm. He paused and looked at his hand, only to see a pair of big wet eyes blinking at him.
Young eunuch: ...
After Xiao Yining finished pretending to be pitiful, she also made a face at Wang Gungun and said unconvincedly, "Sister Qing also has someone to lead her, huh."
Pei Yi, who was the guardian of the two children, had to explain tiredly, "These two have always been like this, just get used to it."
The young eunuch nodded in understanding, and took the opportunity to start a conversation, "I have always felt that Madam Lin's family has many children and it is lively. Today I really enjoyed it."
Perhaps it was the first time for the young eunuch to hold a child, so he felt quite strange. After saying this, he smiled kindly, pinched the child's chubby hand curiously, and said with emotion, "I think in a few years, my master will also have a cute little girl like Miss Lin."
Hearing this, Xiao Yining smiled widely: "Grandpa Uncle said that Second Uncle will get married soon and will be a father tomorrow."
The young eunuch's smile froze, and he insincerely praised, "Miss Lin is innocent and naive, and what she said is true."
"I think so too." The little girl replied with trembling eyebrows. She also agreed with this statement.
She glanced at the young eunuch and continued in her childish words, "Brother Eunuch, you didn't follow my second uncle that day. My second uncle's bride was so beautiful. He wanted to take a closer look at her, so he lost the chess game. My uncle even scolded him."
The young eunuch put away his smile uncomfortably. Because of this incident, he had been enduring his master's nameless anger these past few days, and he was miserable.
He looked down at the kid, his heart was so heavy that he didn't even have the heart to speak.
Pei Yi watched the eunuch calmly from the side. When he saw his expression change slightly, he chuckled and said, "My father told me that the daughters of the Xie family are sought after by hundreds of families. They are well-known and have very good personalities. When Miss Xie enters Prince Yu's mansion, your life will not be difficult."
The young eunuch glanced at him and replied firmly, "Master Pei, I have never had a hard time following you, my master."
Pei Yi smiled without comment and said nothing more.
When Xiao Yining heard this, she couldn't help but complain that this person was really loyal to the male protagonist.
The little girl's hand unconsciously stroked the delicate little purse around her waist, which contained medicine given to her by a fellow villager, which was just enough to cure the poison in the little eunuch's body.
The young eunuch was poisoned by Schisandra chinensis, and he sent something to Siquan Palace that night.
After Xiang Sizi learned about this, he was worried that his financial sponsor might accidentally come into contact with the poison, so he gave the antidote to his fellow villager just in case.
But she and her mother are both fine, they enjoy everything they eat, so it's all good money.
She looked up at the eunuch's expressionless face. Although she was not a doctor and could not see anything, Xiangsizi had said that anyone poisoned by this would not live more than half a year.
