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

Chapter 252 Deaf and dumb

Lin Yuzan put his daughter in Wang Lin's arms with a gloomy face, gently reminded him, "Ride slowly," and then closed the door with a "bang".

Wang Lin looked at the door, scratched his head awkwardly, looked at his niece in his arms, and said embarrassedly: "I was still asleep just now, did I scare Sister Qing?"

Little Yining hurriedly shook her head. How could she be scared? It should be her father who should be scared.

Just now, when she was being beaten by her father, Wang Lin appeared like a god and lifted her father above his head. If her uncle had not arrived in time, her father would have been thrown into the yard.

Wang Lin chuckled twice, tied his niece to his body with a rope, covered her entire face with a scarf, and then gently swung the reins to head for their destination, Lu Mansion.

Pei Yi sat in the carriage looking at the two of them, sighing with tiredness, and ordered A Da to follow closely.

Wang Lin didn't like riding in a carriage, as he always felt it was too cramped and couldn't accommodate his long arms and legs.

Whenever Xiao Yining saw his fellow villagers these days, he thought of the book he had not finished memorizing. He felt like he had a heart attack and was unwilling to sit.

The uncle and nephew rode all the way to Lu's mansion, attracting strange looks from passers-by.

Today, not only Wang Lin and his party came to visit Lu Cheng'an, but also officials who had connections with him came to take a look. Shangguan Ruyi also followed her father to the Lu Mansion. She was very surprised to see Xiao Yining appear at the door of the Lu Mansion with disheveled hair.

"Sister Shangguan, you are here too!" Xiao Yining called out sweetly.

Shangguan Ruyi turned to look at Lu Jiayi and reminded her, "Ah Man, you should take sister Yining to comb her hair first before taking her to see your father."

Lu Jiayi looked at little Yining's head with a haggard face. One of her bags was crooked. She couldn't help but burst out laughing and teased, "Sister Yining is so thoughtful. She came all the way to see me."

Little Yining pretended not to understand her teasing and nodded seriously, "I miss Sister Lu, so I will come to see her naturally."

"Sister Yining is so heartless. We haven't seen each other for such a long time, but you only think about A'man." Shangguan Ruyi was unhappy.

"I miss Sister Shangguan too, but this is Sister Lu's home, I have to think about Sister Lu first and then Sister Shangguan." Xiao Yining said with a twisted logic.

"Little rascal." Shangguan Ruyi snorted, then walked forward and pulled her towards the backyard.

When Wang Lin and Pei Yi first arrived at the Lu Mansion, they were welcomed in by the old housekeeper and went to meet Lu Cheng'an.

The Lu Mansion was quite deserted. There was not even a single servant in the huge yard. It looked very desolate. There were also weeds growing in the yard, some of which were as tall as her. It was obvious that it had not been taken care of for a long time.

Little Yining looked around curiously, then looked away and followed her two sisters without looking away.

Of course, her actions caught the attention of the two people in front, and they liked her a little bit.

As soon as Lu Jiayi arrived at the boudoir, she began to introduce it to Xiao Yining, "My father's room is next to mine. After my mother passed away, my father arranged my room between him and my eldest brother. He also dismissed the servants and kept only the housekeeper and the nanny who looked after me. He found me a maid who knows martial arts a few days ago."

Xiao Yining had heard the above stories from other young ladies, but hearing them from the person involved was filled with lingering sadness.

She looked up at Lu Jiayi and opened her mouth, but could not utter any pale words of comfort. Moreover, she had already guessed who had killed her mother, and was afraid that she would not be able to control her mouth and would say it out loud, which would make her unbearable.

Lu Jiayi showed a heart-wrenching smile and said, "If sister Yining comes to my house in a year, my house will be much more lively. When my brother is done with mourning, you can find me a sister-in-law."

When little Yining heard this, she suddenly envied Lu Jiayi for being able to eat meat during the mourning period. This was because her father, for her health, went against everyone's opinion and allowed her to eat meat, unlike her own father who stuck to the old rules and didn't allow her to have any meat.

I heard that Lord Lu himself is a vegetarian and he is really good to Sister Lu.

At this time, Shangguan Ruyi came in with her maids carrying tea and fruit, and she couldn't stop complaining, "Ah Man, you should at least talk to your father about it and buy a few more servants. How can a guest come in and make tea for himself?"

"My father was afraid of being spyed on, so he even confiscated the maids given by the emperor." Lu Jiayi explained awkwardly, taking the plate and putting it on the table. "Thank you, Ruyi, these jobs should have been done by me."

Shangguan Ruyi pursed her lips and said, "Even sister Yining's family has more servants than yours. If this goes on for a long time, you won't be afraid that others will look down on you, the daughter of the Dali Temple's chief minister."

Xiao Yining, who was dissed, showed a silly smile.

"I didn't praise you, don't be so complacent." Shangguan Ruyi said unhappily again, and then reminded like an older sister, "Now that your hair is combed, go meet Lord Lu next door, or else you will be accused of disrespecting your elders."

"Okay." Little Yining stretched out her hand and let Zhao Ya lead her over.

Lu Chengan's room was much more lively than his daughter's. There were several adults standing in the room listening to him with serious faces, while her second uncle and fellow villagers stood at the outermost edge.

When Xiao Yining saw the momentum of the meeting, she quickly retracted her little foot.

Lu Jiayi, who was accompanying her, called out crisply, "Dad, my sister Yining is here to see you!"

Lu Chengan stopped talking and looked out the door, and saw the little girl hiding behind her nanny and looking at him timidly. He smiled and said, "Come in," and at the same time, he took out the glass beads from under the pillow and pressed them into his eye sockets.

Little Yining was led by a fellow villager to Lu Chengan. She bowed politely and said, "Greetings, Lord Lu. Is your injury healed?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the adults in the room laughed softly, and even the solemn atmosphere relaxed a little.

Little Yining turned around and looked around in confusion, as if she didn't know why the adults were laughing at her.

"Okay, thank you Miss Lin for your concern. Are you here with your second uncle?" Lu Cheng'an asked knowingly, trying not to smile.

Xiao Yining nodded and said, "My father wanted to come, but he was not in good health, so he didn't come."

Lu Chengan nodded in understanding. "I heard that something happened to Doctor Shangguan. Your father's medicine for recuperation cannot be dispensed. Yesterday I was looking for a doctor who could dispense the same medicine."

He sighed softly and looked at the timid kid in front of him. "I didn't expect so many things to happen when I was away from Beijing. I heard that you were also in Miaozhen Hall that night. Were you not scared?"

Xiao Yining nodded and then quickly shook her head, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

Lu Chengan stretched out his untied hand and touched her little head. "Go play with Ah Man!"

"Okay." Little Yining glanced at him and was led out by his fellow villager.

Lu Cheng'an saw her looking back every few steps, and stared at Shangguan Junyang's cute appearance curiously, and his brows relaxed a little.

"Sister Qing, go and accompany Miss Lu first. Brother Linzi and I will listen to what the adults have to say." Pei Yi said something in Xiao Yining's ear, then gently pushed her out the door.

Old man Shangguan's warning echoed in Xiao Yining's ears. She pursed her lips, glanced at the man on the bed, and left with Lu Jiayi.

Those who live long are only deaf and dumb...
