Chapter 556 Strange People
Prince Su?
Miss Xie’s husband—Su Qian’an?
What a coincidence?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yining immediately changed his target, ran behind the pillar, and secretly looked towards the door.
Su Qian seemed to be awakened by Mother Wu. He slightly opened one eye and looked at her lazily: "It turned out to be Mother Wu. Has that ugly woman in my house come to cause trouble for Ruyan these few days? She was so cruel that she beat all the maids in my room to death. That ugly woman is so vicious. She really blinded me."
Mother Wu hurriedly looked back, then walked aside with Su Qian in her arms, whispering to comfort him, "Master Su, you should know that no one dares to bully us in Huichun Tower. With nobles like you backing us up, your wife will not cause trouble for us."
"Oh, really?" Su Qian'an was drunk and blinking, allowing Mother Wu to push him away so that others could not hear their conversation.
Little Yining watched the two people walk away, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, thinking that this time when she returned to the girls' school, she could get more melons than her older sisters.
At this moment, her father's voice came from behind her: "Qing Jie'er, have you seen enough?"
The little girl turned around quickly and saw that her father had taken off the cloth covering his eyes, and was looking at her leisurely with his arms folded across his chest.
She smiled shyly, walked out from behind the pillar and said, "Dad, that Madam Wu said no one dares to cause trouble here!"
Lin Yuzan was still angry. He pushed his daughter's head coldly and asked her to go back to his wife. He explained, "There are people protecting Huichun Tower, so naturally no one dares to bully us. Otherwise, how could someone redeem the girl here and then persecute her?"
After saying that, he frowned and glanced at the door again: "But I'm afraid that Prince Su came here specially to see us."
Came here specially...
The little girl looked at her fellow villager thoughtfully. Her fellow villager was not passing by to watch the dance. He still maintained his personality of not liking women and was only concerned with eating the exquisite pastries on his table.
Xiao Yining: ...I don’t know what my fellow villagers like?
Pei Yi noticed the little girl's gaze and raised his head slightly. As if he knew what she was thinking, he replied, "Don't worry, Sister Qing. Prince Su is not here to cause trouble for me. He has an appointment with someone. I guess he is in the private room next to us."
Xiao Yining looked a little speechless. This guy might have X-ray vision and knew where people were without them going out.
The little kid didn't know that he was almost exposed to the truth.
Hearing this, her eyes sparkled with gossip again. Without waiting for others to react, she quickly ran to the wall that the fellow villager pointed to, put her ear close to it, and listened attentively.
Lin Yuzan: ...
He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, wiped the non-existent hair oil from his hands, and said to Wan Niang helplessly: "Qing Jie'er's habit of eavesdropping, we really should take good care of it."
After saying this, he walked towards his daughter, intending to pull her back to her place.
Wan Niang curled the corners of her mouth and followed the father and daughter. She also felt that her daughter's bad habits were not good.
Then she saw her husband, like her daughter, eavesdropping on the noise next door with his ear pressed against the wall.
Wanniang:  ̄□ ̄||
She couldn't help but glance at her father, and heard her father complaining to her mother: "This kid Zan has such bad habits that it's hard to change. Sister Qing is almost like him."
"Okay, you're not much better. You're thinking about visiting relatives all day long. None of these kids at home give me peace of mind. They've been playing around with you since they were young. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beams will be crooked too." Li Anhe said softly in annoyance.
Lin Yuzan on the other side didn't know that this side had already regarded him as the "culprit" who taught the child bad things.
He listened attentively for a moment, then stood up suspiciously: "Sister Qing can really hear what's going on over there? Huichunlou has thickened the walls so that the dignitaries can have a good rest."
Xiao Yining nodded. Her only golden finger here - her sharp hearing - allowed her to eat a lot of honeydew melons.
Lin Yuzan stroked his chin, carefully observing his daughter's complacent look: It seems that in addition to guarding against the shadow guards, he also has to guard against his daughter.
At this moment, Qingshan Jun walked up behind him and said, "If you want to peek, there are hidden holes here. In this red-light district of ours, almost every house that is used for entertainment by high-ranking officials has such hidden holes. However, these hidden holes are not revealed to outsiders, and only the mothers know where they are."
As he spoke, he glanced at the wall, reached out his hand and gently turned the candlestick on the wall, revealing a small hole.
Little Yining's eyes widened in surprise. She hurriedly pulled at her father's clothes, wanting him to pick her up, and took a peek at the hole.
However, her father ignored her intention. Instead, he looked at Qingshan Jun and thanked him, "Thank you, Qingshan Jun, but this is just a child's play. I have no choice but to let her do it."
Qingshan Jun chuckled without comment and turned to look at the boy who was giving him a headache. At this moment, he and Wang Gungun were shaking their heads, completely immersed in their own world.
He said calmly, "Mr. Lin, I don't want to know why you let Brother Hu study in front of me, a person despised by everyone, but it is no longer appropriate now."
Lin Yuzan followed his gaze and said, "I had no choice but to ask you to take care of Tiger Brother because my uncle and I have an uncertain future. Since Qingshan Jun is a trustworthy person, I had no choice but to ask you to take care of Tiger Brother. But now it is most appropriate for Qingshan Jun to teach Tiger Brother. Tiger Brother is now the prince's companion. If he does nothing wrong in the future, his future will be limitless. But I am afraid that his temper will be difficult to protect in this cannibalistic Yanjing."
"Books can explain things, but they are not good enough in teaching people how to deal with things. My uncle and I can teach him some ways to deal with things, but we can never explain to him the lowest point of human nature. Qingshan Jun has already seen through the world and can make up for this."
He smiled faintly and continued, "It is said that everyone can be a teacher. As elders, if we don't teach him the principles we know as soon as possible, will he have to wait until he has experienced all kinds of pain, struggled hard to get up from the mud, and suffered heartache before he understands these things."
After a few words, Lin Yuzan finally picked up his daughter and touched his forehead to hers. He said sadly, "The road of life is one of careful planning. There are many unknown thorns ahead. Children must overcome them themselves. As elders, we cannot take their place in the future, but we are willing to do our best to pave a smoother road for them and prevent them from repeating our mistakes. Qingshan Jun, if you don't mind Tiger's stupidity, please give him some advice and guidance."
Qing Shanjun's eyes flashed with thought, and he nodded in understanding. He glanced at the woman on the dance floor and said, "If you want to see what's going on next door, go ahead. Mother Wu and her daughters are tight-lipped people and won't let others know."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to the father and daughter and turned away.
Xiao Yining stared at his back. Although this man was a pitiful person, at this moment she inexplicably felt that he should be able to thrive in the red-light district.
She put her arms around her father's neck and whispered in his ear, "Dad, you are kidding Uncle Qingshan. You obviously like him and don't want money."
This statement is too ambiguous and directly breaks the scene of a loving father and a filial daughter.
Lin Yuzan threw his daughter back to the ground in disgust: "Go away, little kid, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Xiao Yining: →_→, you have such a big reaction, your thoughts are not pure!
Then, the little girl suddenly remembered that she had not yet looked at the secret hole used for peeping, and hurriedly pulled her father's hand and asked him to hold her.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuzan did not pick up his daughter as his daughter wished. Instead, he squinted his eyes and focused on observing the scene happening in the distance.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a heaviness on the back of his feet. He lowered his eyes and saw his daughter sitting on his feet, with her cheeks puffed up and her head raised, glaring at him angrily.
"Bad daddy, you don't know how to share." Little Yining complained angrily, and continued to use his little skill, sticking to the wall, trying to hear a few words.
Seeing this, Lin Yuzan laughed and shook his head, and ignored her.
Both the big and the small were spying on what was going on in the private room next door in their own ways.
At this moment, Su Qian was no longer drunk as before. He sat on the chair, sipping his tea carefully.
He raised his eyes to look at the man with his back to him and said, "Next door is Lin Yining's family, and Pei Dafu's cheap son."
Hearing this, the man turned around, revealing a handsome face. He frowned and said, "Lin Yining? The three-year-old kid who was rumored to have offered a new seed? Oh, it's unprecedented for such a baby to visit a brothel. Her family is really interesting."
Little Yining straightened up slightly and rolled his eyes. This voice was very unfamiliar, he had never heard it before!
She looked up at her father, and saw a hint of doubt on his face.
Xiao Yining: Okay, it seems that this person is an important figure that even our family doesn’t know.
