Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 354: The Emperor's Favor

Xie Jinzhi opened his mouth slightly, his heart filled with a myriad of emotions, and finally he laughed and shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Pei is indeed very sharp-minded, but today's incident was actually because my niece couldn't bear to see Ah Man sitting alone in the house, so she suddenly invited her classmates to come over for a gathering."

"My niece has always been very thorough, so she naturally wouldn't want to leave Junior Brother Lin's daughter alone. Otherwise, with her status, she wouldn't be able to enter the Xie Mansion."

Pei Yi raised his eyebrows without comment, turned sideways and looked in the direction where Xiao Yining left, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

The man in the pavilion continued, "Why would my niece target a three-and-a-half-year-old kid? Junior Brother Pei, please don't misinterpret her kindness as malice."

"Really? It seems to me that it is your Xie family who thinks that my cousin's family is weak and easy to bully. I would like to advise Senior Brother Xie that although your family is a century-old family, you should also keep the emperor's favor in mind. Whatever happened here cannot escape the eyes of the emperor." Pei Yi warned in a cold voice.

As he spoke, the young man clapped his hands, and a masked shadow guard suddenly fell behind him from a nearby tree.

"Go and see where Miss Xie is taking my sister Qing."

38 looked at the boy speechlessly, then flew away as if no one was around.

The sudden appearance of the shadow guard made Xie Jinzhi look in great astonishment at the young man who seemed to be confronting him, and he inexplicably had a bad premonition in his heart.

The young man glanced at him with contempt, twirling his folding fan, and reminded him, "Brother Xie, don't forget that my father is Pei Dafu."

Xie Jinzhi: …

……

Xiao Yining looked at the path absentmindedly. The fork in the road just now had led Xie Wan Ning to a different direction. This was not the road leading to the other side at all.

She looked up clearly at the woman beside her.

The veil on the woman's face fluttered in the wind, revealing the horrible reddish-brown scar underneath the veil, which was clearly visible to the little boy.

Xiao Yining couldn't help complaining in her heart. Not to mention that the owner of the Medicine Valley lived in Yanjing, the owner's wife was still working in the girls' school to pay off her debts. She could be found with a little brain. Why go to so much trouble to find her? She was not a medical fraud.

Thinking of this, the little kid couldn't help but slow down his pace, and stretched out his little hand to hold 13's little finger. Qiu Yi, who was standing next to him, saw this and also hooked the other little finger.

13: ...

At this moment, Xie Wan Ning, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up, "I just made a fool of myself in front of Miss Lin. Brother An and I met a few times when we were young, so he knew that I was injured, and it was inevitable that he was worried about doing something inappropriate."

After saying this, she lowered her eyes and looked down at the kid, and even her pace slowed down along with the kid.

There was a hint of hope in her voice as she asked softly, "I heard from Sister Shangguan that Miss Lin has some connection with the head of Medicine Valley. Coincidentally, I went to his residence to look for him a few days ago but couldn't find him. Miss Lin, have you heard where he moved to?"

Xiao Yining really didn't know about this. But somehow, she remembered what Xiang Sizi had said to her - the male protagonist was chasing him.

The little kid looked back and asked sincerely, "Second Miss Xie, what is origin? Who is the master of Medicine Valley?"

Hearing this, Xie Wan Ning showed an unconcealable disappointment on her face. She slowly squatted in front of the little kid and asked again, "I heard that Miss Lin needs to take tonic medicine every month because of her congenital deficiency. After Doctor Shangguan left Yanjing, Miss Lin has not gotten medicine from any pharmacy. Where did your family get the tonic medicine for you?"

"I got it prepared at the Shou Pharmacy in the Girls' School!" Xiao Yining said truthfully.

"What about your father's?" Xie Wan Ning still didn't give up. She reached out and tightly grasped the kid's arms, asking unwillingly.

The little kid was in pain from the force and couldn't help but struggle. He said aggrievedly, "I don't know. Daddy's not home."

Qiu Yi, who was standing by, hurriedly said, "Second Miss Xie, please let my young lady go quickly. Before my master left for his travels, Doctor Shangguan asked Miss Cui to deliver a tonic prescription."

Xie Wan Ning's eyes flashed with confusion. She let go of the little kid in a daze, covering her face, and kept muttering to herself, "How could this be, how could this be..."

The voice was filled with despair and disbelief.

Xiao Yining watched her staggering to her feet quietly, unwilling to accept the fact. She couldn't help feeling helpless. It was not that she didn't want to say it, but there would be too much trouble afterwards and she couldn't afford the risk.

She didn't want to be like Shangguan Wenyuan, who brought disaster to her family because of a momentary kindness. Now she and her family were still being manipulated at will.

Lin Yining is a selfish person.

However, just as the little girl was about to look away, Xie Wan Ning's eyes suddenly showed a cruel look. Although it was fleeting, she still caught it keenly.

Xiao Yining couldn't help but feel surprised, and hurriedly wondered whether this cruel intention was directed at her or Pu Fanmeng.

But at this time, Xie Wan Ning had returned to normal, with no sign of her losing composure just now.

She looked at the little kid tenderly and said apologetically, "Ms. Lin, my skirt got a little dusty just now. Could you wait for me at Xuezhuju for a while? I will go back and change my clothes and then I will take you to find Ah Man right away."

As she spoke, she pointed to a small courtyard not far away and said, "Just a few more steps and you'll reach Xuezhuju."

Little Yining glanced at her suspiciously and pinched 13's little finger with her little hand.

13 said coldly, "Yes."

With the guarantee, the little kid smiled sweetly and responded obediently, "Then please hurry up, Miss Xie. I'm afraid my sisters will be waiting for me anxiously."

"Don't worry, Miss Lin. It won't cost you a stick of incense." Xie Wan Ning replied with a smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at the maid Qingdai who was following the little girl closely, then turned and left.

Qingdai understood immediately and said to another maid, "Sister Qingyao, please take Miss Lin over. I will go get some refreshments for Miss Lin."

Qingyao nodded slightly and led the little kid to Xuezhuju.

Xiao Yining glanced at the master and servant who both left, feeling even more strange. He began to review what bargaining chips he still had that could make Xie Wan Ning miss him.

At this moment, 13 suddenly glanced into the distance and met the eyes of 38 who had rushed over.

13: Change it, I have something urgent to do.

38: ...

The next moment, 13 mercilessly pulled back his little finger and said stiffly, "Miss, your skirt is dirty. I will go to the carriage to get your skirt for you."

After saying that, she blatantly rubbed the sole of her shoe on the hem of the little girl's skirt.

Xiao Yining: ...

She looked up in disbelief and looked at 13 in condemnation.

After being teased by Su Qian, this person had a cold face, and she had never dared to let her hug her. Now she wanted to abandon herself, she must be going for revenge.

13 turned away guiltily. "I'll be back soon and nothing will happen to you, don't worry."

Little Yining felt helpless, and with his sharp eyes, he saw a dark shadow flashing on a tree not far away, and it pulled aside some branches to meet his face. He felt uneasy, nodded and said, "Come back soon!"

"Don't worry, I'll be back within an incense stick of time." 13 said this and left without any regrets.

Another stick of incense?

One stick of incense can accomplish many things!

Xiao Yining raised her eyes and glanced at the astonished Qingyao. It was probably the first time she saw a maid bullying her master. Then she saw her looking at her with pity.

The kid explained dryly, "She should go take a shit, sorry to say."

Qingyao smiled awkwardly and said nothing more. She led the little kid to sit down and wait in Xuezhuju.

But a moment later, something unexpected happened again. A little girl with a shaved head ran into Xuezhu Residence in panic and shouted anxiously, "Sister Qingyao, I finally found you. Sister Sizhu accidentally broke Master Jiu's butterfly flower glass bottle. I don't know what to do, so I'm waiting for you to come back and make a decision."

Xiao Yining stared coldly at the person who came, and then looked at Qingyao pleadingly.

Qingyao was already disturbed by the sudden change. She gritted her teeth, met the little kid's pleading eyes, and said with a guilty look, "Miss Lin, please wait a moment. I will be back soon. It will take at most one stick of incense."

After saying that, she didn't wait for Xiao Yining's response and hurriedly ran after the little girl with the haircut.

Peace returned to Xuezhuju, and after a long time, a sigh was uttered.

Qiu Yi also found something wrong, so she leaned close to the young master and called out softly, "Miss, why do I feel something strange?"

Xiao Yining patted her hands and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Sister Qiu Yi, you can leave first!"

"Miss?" Qiu Yi looked at her in surprise.

Xiao Yining explained depressedly, "Second Miss Xie wants to attack me, but someone will save me, but Sister Qiu Yi, you must leave, otherwise you will become the next cowherd old man."

Qiu Yi couldn't believe what she heard and couldn't help asking, "Miss, why? You have no grudge against her."

Xiao Yining simply replied, "She is gambling on the emperor's favor in an attempt to get the remaining Jade Snow Cream."

This is all I have, the only thing of value in me that can be useful to her.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Qiu Yi, who was reluctant to leave and had a worried look on her face, and gently pushed her, pretending to be relaxed and said, "Qiu Yi, go find my uncle for me."

Hearing this, Qiu Yi came back to her senses and said quickly, "Miss, I will go find my cousin right away. Wait for me. No, you hide first."

"Okay, I will hide myself. Sister Qiuyi, come on, I'm counting on you." Xiao Yining replied playfully.

Qiu Yi finally left, looking back every few steps.

Finally, only the little girl and 38 who secretly protected her were left in Xuezhuju.

For the first time in her life, Xiao Yining agreed with what the heroine once said to her - "Everyone here is a bad person."

She took a deep breath, a calm smile appeared on her face, and she stared quietly at the gate of Xuezhuju.

Soon, a light blue figure appeared at the door, and the little kid calmly looked at the cold light hidden under the man's tray.

At the same time, her puzzled voice was heard, "Why is Miss Lin sitting here alone? Where are the others?"
