Chapter 229 Stay
Chapter 229 Stay
Wan Niang and her daughter were indeed tired today. When Lin Yuzan returned home, they were still sleeping soundly in bed.
He gently opened the bed curtain and stared at their rosy sleeping faces for a long time before closing the curtain again. He walked outside and listened to Zhao Ya's gentle report of today's itinerary.
Although Pei Yi has already explained it once, Zhao Ya is old and wise, and her focus may be different from his.
"It seems that Prince Yu likes Miss very much, but the things he gave Miss Yu were not things that children would like, and he only let Miss Yu choose one thing." Zhao Ya replied.
"Prince Yu is very young and unmarried, so how could he understand a child's mind? The young lady picked out a dagger at that time, which was extremely similar to the one given to her by Duke Chen. The young lady compared them carefully for a long time, then picked up the one happily, and almost left the original one in Prince Yu's mansion." Zhao Ya couldn't help shaking her head and chuckling when she recalled this incident.
Lin Yuzan raised his eyes and quickly glanced at Zhao Ya's expression. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he asked again: "Did King Yu ask Sister Qing today?"
Zhao Ya lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then replied methodically: "Prince Yu was just curious about why Miss was scolded by Madam, and Miss answered him truthfully."
"But before getting on the car, Prince Yu asked Miss why she thought her cousin would become a eunuch. Miss replied, 'The son follows in his father's footsteps.'"
"The son follows in his father's footsteps..." Lin Yuzan repeated these four words in a low voice, and murmured softly: "I think King Yu likes it very much."
"That's right. The young lady is so well-behaved and smart. Everyone who sees her will like her." Zhao Ya said proudly.
Lin Yuzan didn't ask any more questions. He waved his hand to let Zhao Ya leave and sat at the table thoughtfully.
Unexpectedly, King Yu would reveal his ambition in front of a three-year-old child. Age is indeed the best disguise.
His daughter...is extraordinary!
At this time, there was a light knock on the door, and Wang Cheng appeared at the door, saying expressionlessly, "Shun'an, come with me to see Qingshan-kun."
Lin Yuzan: ...
Qingshan Jun was sent to Pei Dafu's male servant, and then was taken to a side room by Duke Chen. He had not eaten for a day.
Wang Cheng glanced at the food on the table that had been cold for a long time, then pulled Lin Yuzan to sit down, staring at the man who was silently protesting, and said, "I have asked Duke Chen. Today in the court, Lord Liu reported your presence here to the emperor. Although the emperor did not say anything, you cannot go back."
"Not to mention that Duke Chen will not let you go back to that filthy place. Even if he lets you go as you wish, your life will not be safe once you leave this door."
Qingshan-jun pursed his lips and looked helplessly at the person who came. Perhaps because he had been exposed to the world of romance since childhood, this look was full of charm and affection.
Lin Yuzan was the first to give in, with rashes all over his body. He quickly walked out the door and said, "Shu Zhi, your brother, you should persuade him well."
"Brother? Ha." Qingshan Jun looked at Wang Cheng and spoke softly, "I helped you before, so you should help me too. But helping others to trap me here is like repaying kindness with enmity?"
Wang Cheng's face was as cold as ice, and he said coldly, "You can't get revenge if you go out, so why bother doing this? You have served that man for so many years, don't you feel disgusted?"
"Disgusting? I just feel happy. That woman let me live just to take revenge on that person. Now I have done it..." Qingshan Jun stood up with the help of the bed, looked at Wang Cheng, and said sarcastically, "You are not happy? Oh~ You are different from me. You have a mother and a cheap father who likes to be a cuckold."
"Bah, bah, bah, bah"
The sound of falling dishes in the house suddenly alerted Lin Yuzan, who was strolling in the yard. He hurried back into the house and saw Wang Cheng pushing Qingshanjun onto the table and pinching his neck with a sinister look.
He couldn't help muttering in his heart: Wang Cheng is really crazy.
Lin Yuzan rolled his eyes and advised insincerely, "Brother, why are you so angry? This guy is dead, and you still have to pay for his straw mat. Leng Qingnian spent so much money on him. If he dies, no matter how you divide it, it will all go to the people behind Nanfeng Pavilion."
"Are you willing?"
Wang Cheng glanced at him with bloodshot eyes and let go of his hand. Qingshan Jun could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, coughing violently.
The next moment, Qingshan Jun let out a miserable scream. It was Wang Cheng who broke his two leg bones.
"No wonder Leng Qingnian is so attached to you that he's willing to empty his family's fortune to be with you. Even when he screams so miserably, I love to hear it." Wang Cheng sneered.
"I wonder if he will feel bad now that you are in the same situation as him."
Qingshan Jun looked at Wang Cheng with eyes full of hatred, and his voice was hoarse, full of anger and unwillingness, "Wang Cheng, you want to snatch someone from me."
Wang Cheng looked at him coldly, "I will take Leng Qingnian's life myself."
Then he warned, "If you dare to insult my father again, I will make you wish for death."
Lin Yuzan, who had watched the whole drama, continued to roll his eyes, using his remaining energy to see Wang Cheng leave with a flick of his sleeves, and called a servant to take care of the seriously injured Qingshan Jun.
Zhang San rushed over and looked at the mess in the house. He said, "You have to pay for the damage to the house. You also have to pay for the man's medical expenses. My master doesn't have any extra money."
Lin Yuzan: ...Who am I? A villain who is always there to clean up after others?
Little Yining didn't know what happened in Duke Chen's courtyard, but she was still awakened by the screams. Wan Niang, who woke up at the same time as her, looked at the sky outside, exclaimed, and hurriedly got out of bed. "We slept for so long, your father will definitely scold us later."
Little Yining opened his hazy eyes, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, mom. I brought a dagger for dad. He won't tell."
She planned to give the dagger of Duke Chen to her father for self-defense. Look how filial she is.
After hearing this, Wan Niang suppressed her laughter and said, "It's obvious that you don't want it, but Qingjie, you can't say that this is an extra gift for Dad. Your dad is petty and will get angry. You must say that it's a birthday gift for Dad. Do you understand?"
Birthday gift?
Little Yining tilted his head and thought for a long time, then asked doubtfully, "Mom, is Dad's birthday coming soon?"
Wan Niang glanced at her eyebrows in the bronze mirror again, then turned back to look at her daughter, and asked curiously, "Qing Jie, how could you forget that Dad's birthday is only one month later than Mom's."
Xiao Yining shook her head in confusion. How could she have any impression?
"Oh, mother forgot. Since your grandparents passed away, your father has not celebrated his birthday."
Xiao Yining: ...If I didn't know you were a little stupid, I would have thought you were testing me.
Wan Niang came over and picked up her daughter, and said worriedly, "But we are already in mourning, it would be unreasonable to not do it again. I calculated the date, and your father happens to be studying in the academy on that day. Um... then you can help me give the birthday gift to your father, okay?"
Little Yining immediately replied in a baby voice, "Sister Qing will help mom to make dad happy that day."
"Mother has always known that you are the most filial." Wan Niang touched her daughter's little head lovingly.
The dinner was already late, so the two chatted for a few words and then hurried to the main hall to eat, but Lin Yuzan was not there.
Pei Yi, who had been waiting for dinner, looked at the two people's puzzled eyes and explained, "My cousin went to the pharmacy to buy medicine for someone. He will be back later, so he told us to eat first."
Little Yining asked curiously, "Who is Dad buying medicine for?"
Pei Yi said nothing, but just looked at the wall helplessly.
Wang Cheng suddenly went crazy, and he was the one who suffered the consequences. Even his special wheelchair was taken away.
Pei Yi sighed, "Qingshan Jun's leg is broken."
Wan Niang dropped the chopsticks in her hand to the ground instantly, and asked hesitantly, "When did this person come to my house?"
"Mother, don't you know that Qingshan Jun is at Duke Chen's house?"
Wan Niang:......
Pei Yi raised his eyes to look at her and teased, "If cousin wants to go see him, just walk two steps back and you'll be there. You don't have to spend any more money, and you don't have to think about the 50 taels."
Wan Niang's face immediately flushed, and she stammered, "Ayi, when did you know that?"
"Mom, the tortoise from Nanfeng Pavilion told us yesterday." Little Yining at the side replied honestly.
The clever little guy failed again.
Wan Niang was so angry that the bowl in her hand was crushed. "Qing Jie'er, you actually let A Yi take you to Nan Feng Pavilion."
Xiao Yining: ...I didn't expect that after staying with mom for so long, my IQ would be so low.
Woohoo, my life is in danger!!!
