Chapter 544: Unable to Stay Away
Xiao Yining's words did not cause the slightest ripple in the hearts of the two old men.
It was because Leng Mengwan had done something similar in her previous life, and even tried to do them a favor, but they immediately declined. When she was about to take action against their wishes, the mastermind behind the scenes had already been captured.
It was a coincidence that the official handling the case was none other than Chen Pi, the fellow sufferer not long ago. Leng Mengwan was almost implicated and nearly went to prison.
Although the trajectories of the two lives are different, what is supposed to happen will still happen, and Leng Mengwan's methods will not change.
Wang and Lin looked at each other, then put the news behind them for the time being and looked at the still proud little kid.
"Sister Qing, don't compare yourself with her. This person is arrogant and will eventually suffer the consequences." Lin Yuzan reminded.
Xiao Yining naturally knew that the heroine's retribution was yet to come. Her uncle liked to boil a frog in warm water. The hero was finished, and the heroine who was tied to him was naturally finished too.
She nodded in agreement and added, "Sister Yu Ke didn't tell her father about this. She told her sisters about it. In the afternoon, Sister Qing saw them write about it in a letter and sent it back home!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang and Lin both frowned at the same time.
"It seems that we have alerted the enemy." Wang Cheng sighed lightly.
Xiao Yining: ⊙_⊙, what does that mean? Among her classmates' fathers, there is also an outlaw? Could it be Shangguan Ruyi's father?
Just as the kid was about to ask, Lin Yuzan said sternly, "You little girls think you can keep secrets outside, but when you get together, you speak without restraint and act so carelessly. How can you write this matter in a letter and send it out openly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yining hit his own head with his little hand and asked a stupid question: "Dad, is there anyone in the girls' school who secretly reads the sisters' letters?"
Lin Yuzan gave her a "stupid" look, nodded and explained, "Of course, the fathers of your classmates are all important officials in the court, and there will definitely be people waiting to catch them. If their families do something inappropriate, they can also be reported."
The little girl nodded in understanding, and then she heard her father say unhappily, "You too."
Xiao Yining: ..., he really uses everything as a negative example for her and scolds her.
The little girl pursed her lips speechlessly, and immediately decided to turn her face away and not look at her father well.
She is a princess now, who is afraid of her?
When Lin Yuzan saw his daughter giving him a cold look, he couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
He picked her up and placed her on the empty seat in the middle. With a hint of amusement on his face, he teased her, "You are really getting mad. Sister Qing, do you think that being a princess means you can show off?"
Xiao Yining did think so, and not only that, she could have another idea.
The little girl stretched out her hands, pulled the sleeves of the two old men in front of her, raised her head and said proudly: "Sister Qing can not only show off her power, but also hug people left and right!"
Wang Cheng:......
Lin Yuzan: ...
Two soft chuckles were heard in the house, followed by the loud cry of a baby.
At the same time, Qiu Yi's anxious plea for mercy was mixed in: "Master, don't blame the young lady. It was Miss Leng who said this in front of the young lady, and the young lady remembered it in her heart."
Zhao Ya, who was on the lookout at Guiyan Pavilion, shook her head helplessly. She put down her telescope and thought to herself: the only commoners who dared to offend her young master now should be her master and her uncle.
The baby's crying gradually subsided, and the irritating candlelight in Hanqiu Courtyard lit up.
Lin Yuzan stared at the flames that kept leaping upwards. If they could rise a little higher, they would be able to ignite the blackout curtains and engulf the entire room in flames, just like his surging emotions at the moment, burning fiercely and spreading wantonly.
He hated Leng Mengwan to his core. Although they had only met once in this life, she always found ways to infiltrate his surroundings. Even his daughter mentioned her from time to time and was influenced by her.
What evil had he done to deserve being provoked by this person again and again when he was in obscurity?
Was it out of revenge for the burning of his body by the witch before she possessed him, or was it because this person knew from prophecy that he was destined to be used by her?
It's a pity that this person can't die yet...
Wang Cheng looked at his old rival's eyes, which were still filled with anger and gradually became darker and darker, and said to comfort him, "Don't be angry with Qing Jie'er. She is still a child, and it is inevitable that she will be influenced by others' words."
Lin Yuzan glanced at him sideways, not wanting to talk about this bad thing anymore, so he changed the subject: "I think Chen Pi will be interested in the matter of the haunted Hanqiu Courtyard. I will write a letter and ask him to come over tomorrow to investigate. I will also remind him to be careful about the sale of official positions. Although those little girls may have alarmed the enemy, they also made the people behind the scenes relax their vigilance against those who are unaware of the situation."
Hearing this, Wang Cheng's eyes involuntarily turned to the burned tree, and he whispered, "Shangguan Junyang will definitely investigate this matter secretly. Although Chenpi is very capable, he is still slightly inferior to this man."
Lin Yuzan seemed nonchalant: "Shangguan Junyang has too many connections behind him, but Chenpi can make the truth known to the world."
Wang Cheng nodded slightly and said no more.
He knew very well what his old rival meant. Prince Yu's re-investigation of the fire in the south of the city was just a formality. The real culprit would not be punished at all under this man's protection.
He could also temporarily put aside all the evil deeds committed by Leng Mengwan and wait for the right time to settle accounts with her.
But it is different now. The last time this girl bullied Qing Jie'er, Lin Yuzan had already been taught a lesson by Wan Niang and Pei Yi, so he had to endure it for the time being.
Now the issue of Qing Jie'er's upbringing is involved, and he will definitely take this opportunity to plot against this girl.
Simply preaching will only make the child curious about it and pay more attention to it. Only by keeping it away from the child and then guiding him/her can the child distinguish between good and bad.
Wang Cheng also felt a bit troubled by the endless parenting problems of the little kid.
At that time, Lin Yuzan raised a meaningful sneer again: "If I am not wrong, Shangguan Junyang has solved the case of Lu Chengan's wife's death. Otherwise, how could he appear in Lu Chengan's house and let Miss Lu see him and mistakenly think he was the murderer. This person seems to be taciturn and only cares about practical work, but in fact he has many unknown activities hidden behind the scenes."
Wang Cheng's eyes flashed with sarcasm because of this: "In Yanjing, how many officials don't seek the skin of a tiger? We will be the same in the future. It depends on whose method is more clever."
After these words, the room fell into silence, and the two seemed to be immersed in thinking about their future.
At this moment, the sky was filled with stars and the moon was shining brightly. Students from Hanqiu Academy were returning one after another. What happened last night had left a deep shadow in everyone's heart. They wanted to move away immediately, but because of the dislike from other fellow disciples, they had to stay here. With resentment in their hearts, they returned later and later every day.
Lin Yuzan listened to the noise coming from outside and became even more annoyed. He no longer wanted to chat.
He stood up and said, "I will go find Miss Ah San and ask her to help pass the message to 66. The old man is forcing me so much, so I naturally need to make my attitude clear and ask for the reward again."
As he spoke, his tone gradually became helpless: "My daughter, whom I raised with great effort, has completely sided with the old man after just a few days. The old man must have promised her the reward this time, but she didn't tell me a single word."
He sighed tiredly and continued to Wang Cheng: "You are right, I have to find a reason to lure Miss San away and find out what happened to Sister Qing. Otherwise, I will be tricked by the old man next time."
Wang Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, and reminded him softly: "You'd better not follow Sister Qing's lead in calling Miss Thirteen Ah San. In the past, when she acted foolishly, others didn't pay too much attention to her. Now, you have to be careful with everything you say and do."
However, Lin Yuzan shook his head slightly. A cold and murderous mask flashed through his mind. He rejected the proposal, "Qing Jie'er likes Thirteenth Miss, so let her call her that!"
After saying this, he turned around and wanted to go back to Linglong Courtyard.
Just at this moment, there was a slight knock on the tightly closed door. The two people in the room were startled and looked towards the door with frowns.
