Chapter 560 The person who faked his death?? (2)
Little Yining didn't know that her arrival would trigger a family fight.
At this time, she slowly moved forward under the guidance of her father, quietly appreciating the magnificent Wu'an Marquis Mansion. Every scene here, with carved beams and painted buildings, small bridges and flowing water, and rockery, exudes a simple charm that amazed her.
In modern times, such a house would definitely be sold for 40 yuan.
Of course, it’s not that Xiao Yining looks down on it, but the famous Prince Gong’s Mansion also has a starting ticket price of 40 yuan.
Just as she was concentrating on looking at the koi under the bridge, Wu Haoran finally came back, bringing with him the second son of the Wu family, Wu Shaoming, whom she had a very bad impression of.
The moment Wu Shaoming saw the little kid, his expression was quite complicated, but soon he raised a humble smile that the little kid had never seen before, stepped forward quickly, and said to the little kid respectfully: "Princess Le'an, I hope you can forgive me for being so rude to you just now. Please move to the hall. My father, Marquis Wu'an, has been waiting for you in the hall for a long time."
Little Yining just glanced at him, then glanced behind him, and saw that Wu Haoran had lost his previous ease, and instead became a little timid. Even the look in her father's eyes was still hinting at something.
She complained in her heart about "men's bad taste" and asked in confusion: "Second Master Wu, you came here with my godfather, why don't you see Master Wu?"
Wu Shaoming's face froze, and he replied, "Thank you for your concern, my brother is not feeling well and cannot come out to entertain guests."
Xiao Yining frowned, a trace of doubt flashed through her mind. Xiangsizi clearly said that if this person took the medicine well, he would be able to recover completely in two or three months!
"My eldest brother is much better now, but he still makes a fuss when he is in a bad mood." Wu Haoran explained.
Seeing this man finally speak, Xiao Yining took the opportunity to call him "Godfather!" affectionately.
This time, although Wu Haoran's face was still flushed, he resisted the urge to take out the banknote. Instead, he made a gesture of invitation and took on the responsibilities of the host again.
When Xiao Yining and his family arrived at the hall, it was already peaceful.
At this moment, she was enjoying the highest honor as a princess, and everyone came to her to pay their respects.
Even Marquis Wu'an, supported by his servants, hobbled to her and said, "Princess Le'an, it's been a long time since we last met. I was not feeling well, so I did not go out to greet you. I hope you can forgive me."
Xiao Yining: 罒w罒
As a young girl who received a good education since childhood, she immediately showed her friendly side and returned the greetings to everyone.
Xiao Yining raised her head and glanced at his haggard face, then bowed again and said sweetly, "My Lord, I am well."
A rare smile appeared on the solemn face of Marquis Wu'an. He stood up with difficulty and led everyone to their seats.
After the maids filed in and served exquisite tea and snacks, he got straight to the point with Lin Yuzan and his wife, "Last time, I talked to Princess Le'an about this. Since she has accepted my useless third son as her godfather, she should inform her parents, choose an auspicious day, burn incense and pray, and then invite Ran'er to take the seat and kneel down to serve tea."
"But today is not the right day. If you don't mind, I will personally organize the family recognition banquet and settle the matter. I will keep all the complicated etiquette simple and let Ran'er drink the family recognition tea in front of all the relatives."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Haoran reminded in a low voice: "Dad, Princess Le'an is not the only one here who calls me godfather. There is another one, and I forgot to mention it to you before."
Wu Anhou was slightly stunned. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a small shadow rushing past him, hugging his third son's thigh and howling, "Godfather, you can't be partial to one and treat the other differently!"
Marquis Wu'an: ...
Everyone:......
Wu Haoran was at a loss for words and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let go."
Wang Cheng held his forehead with his hand in pain and shouted, "Don't make trouble, Marquis Wu'an is discussing matters and will not leave you behind."
The corner of Marquis Wu'an's eye twitched, and he glared at San'er unhappily. He raised his hand to stroke his beard and nodded in agreement: "Of course, Princess Le'an and this... young master, after today, will both be honorary descendants of my Marquis Wu'an Mansion and be protected by the Marquis Wu'an Mansion."
Wang Gungun knew when to stop and proudly shook his head with a high bun: "It is your...ah, my blessing that you can accept me as your godson."
The little boy's mischievous appearance caused all the female guests present to giggle softly, and for a moment, the whole hall was filled with cheerful laughter.
Qin's eyes moved, and she looked at Cui with a smile, teasing, "Ran'er is so lucky. He has a son and a daughter in just one day. Sister Cui will have endless grandchildren in the future."
Cui glanced at her calmly and said, "Thank you for your words, sister. I hope you can make today's family recognition banquet more beautiful. Although they are all our relatives, we should not let others look down on us."
When Qin heard this, she gnashed her teeth secretly in her heart, but still forced a smile on her face and replied, "Don't worry, sister. I will definitely make Princess Le'an happy."
As she spoke, she turned to look at the obedient little Yining sitting beside her, smiled gently, and then turned to Wu'an Marquis and suggested: "My Lord, why don't you let the princess and the little boy go to Sister Cui's yard to play? Children are at the age when they love to play. It's really boring to let them sit here and listen to us adults nagging about family matters!"
Wu An Hou naturally agreed to this proposal. He looked at Lin Yuzan and his wife and Wang Cheng, and saw that they all nodded slightly. Then he kindly instructed: "Cui, you have a lot of small things in your room. Treat Princess Le An and this young master well."
After hearing the instruction, Cui slowly stood up. Her beautiful face remained calm, and she replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Yes."
Such a cool attitude made Xiao Yining very surprised.
If Wu Shaoming hadn't just now glanced at the talkative woman uncontrollably as soon as he came back, she would really have thought that the talkative woman was the young master of the Treasure Pavilion, and that this cold and beautiful woman was Wu Shaoming's mother!
The contrast between this mother and son is too great, they are nothing like her and her mother!
Thinking of this, she turned and looked at her mother.
At this moment, Wan Niang had already stood up and was about to take the two children and leave with Cui.
Unexpectedly, Qin came over and took her hand enthusiastically: "Madam Lin, although the banquet has been prepared, only Madam Lin knows the preferences of Princess Le'an. I would like to ask Madam Lin to take a look."
There was a hint of hesitation in Wan Niang's eyes, and she looked at the two little kids with some concern.
Seeing this, Cui said, "Madam Lin, go ahead. I will take good care of the two children."
At the same time, Wan Niang heard her husband's comforting voice from behind: "Wan Niang, Qing Jie'er and Gun Gun are being taken care of."
She looked back at Lin Yuzan and saw a look in his eyes that made her feel at ease. She stopped hesitating and after giving some instructions to the two kids, she followed Qin and left.
However, she did not see that when Lin Yuzan turned his gaze to Qin's receding figure, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes. Not only that, but when others could hardly notice, he secretly winked at Zhao Ya who was standing not far away.
The two little kids were taken out by Cui amid the conversation between the adults.
Little Yining finally left her father's sight and quietly transferred the portrait hidden in her sleeve into her nurse's bag. The stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
God knows how hard it was for her to hide it just now. She was even very careful in her movements, for fear that it would fall out and be discovered by her father. She would inevitably be beaten in the carriage.
Wang Gungun, who was standing by, narrowed his eyes slightly. He quickly glanced at Cui who was walking slowly in front of him, then slowly moved to Xiao Yining's side and whispered, "I just saw it. Believe it or not, if your father knew what you just did, he would definitely give you another beating."
Xiao Yining: ...
The little girl was not afraid at all when she heard these slightly threatening words, and she retorted without showing any weakness: "Why should I be afraid? My dad only beat me gently, unlike you, where he beat you to death."
She even twisted her round little butt in an extremely indecent manner and glanced at Wang Gungun provocatively: "Qing Jie'er, it won't hurt at all!"
Wang GunGun: ?_?, you are really good at pretending.
The little boy put his hands on his hips and said shamelessly, "Your father dares to hit me. Humph, sooner or later he will regret it."
As soon as these words were spoken, the two little guys stared at each other again, and the air was filled with gunpowder.
At this time, two small golden pythons inlaid with colorful gemstones appeared between the children, and Cui's cold voice sounded above their heads: "You two can play with them, and don't quarrel."
Two little kids: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a
They took the little golden python and immediately smiled happily. They held each other's hands, made peace with each other, and smiled sweetly at Cui, promising: "We won't quarrel anymore."
Cui had a satisfied smile on her face, but she quickly suppressed it. She ignored the two kids and turned around to continue leading the way.
Just as they promised, the two little kids followed behind obediently, playing with the little golden python in their hands.
The three of them walked slowly along the winding corridor. It was quiet and silent all around, with only the occasional bird song and the sunlight shining overhead.
The atmosphere among this group of people seemed particularly harmonious.
But this harmonious atmosphere did not last long.
Just as they walked down the corridor and were about to cross the garden, Xiao Yining suddenly caught a slight sound in his ears, vague and rustling.
She couldn't help but stop, look in the direction of the sound, and listen carefully.
Seeing this, Wang Gungun urged, "Qing Jie'er, why don't you leave? We'll be at the yard soon."
Cui in front also stopped and looked at the little girl with confusion. The hands that were originally holding the hem of her skirt unconsciously reached into her sleeves, as if she was going to take out some gadgets to coax the little girl.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
In a small bush not far from them, a figure suddenly jumped out and rushed towards the little girl at lightning speed.
This sudden change made everyone present pale with fear.
