Chapter 253 Look at me today.
After Pei Yi sent Xiao Yining away, he turned around and came to Wang Lin's side, continuing to listen to Lu Cheng'an talking about official business. He also looked at the adults in the room curiously, as if he wanted to remember the person who was speaking.
What Lu Cheng'an talked about with his subordinates was not confidential. They were all major events that happened in Yanjing when he was away.
Little Yining was sitting in Lu Jiayi's boudoir. With her sensitive ears, she could vaguely hear a few words. She looked up at the young ladies playing backgammon on both sides of her and felt quite unhappy.
Shangguan Ruyi noticed her gaze and thought she was hungry, so he pushed the cake in front of her and comforted her, "Sister Yining is hungry, wait a minute, Uncle Lu will be done soon. He is always like this, always so busy that he forgets the time."
Lu Jiayi also smiled and said, "Sister Yining doesn't know this is her first time here, but Ruyi is used to being hungry here, so she always eats a full meal before coming here."
Shangguan Ruyi blushed and couldn't help but slap her hand lightly, saying coquettishly, "How dare you say that."
She looked at little Yining and complained, "Sister Yining, you don't know, the first time I came to Ah Man's house, I was hungry for three hours. I couldn't help but complain, and she replied to me that she wanted to starve with Daddy."
"..."
She had this experience once before in the Dali Temple.
Little Yining couldn't help but touch her flat belly. Her father would never let her go hungry. She had lunch a little late yesterday, so he beat her up and called her stupid.
"You're talking nonsense. My father was only late for half an hour." Lu Jiayi retorted with a red face.
"Besides, it was you who skipped breakfast and came to my house to play, so it was only three hours in total."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at little Yining and continued to expose Shangguan Ruyi's shortcomings, "Sister Yining, you don't know, she was so hungry that she cried at my house at that time, and she has been eating obediently since then. Lord Shangguan even specially sent a generous gift to my father, saying that my father cured her problem of refusing to eat."
Xiao Yining: ...
"You're talking nonsense. I wouldn't do that."
"Ruyi, if you have forgotten, I will get the thank-you letter that Lord Shangguan wrote to my father and show it to you." Lu Jiayi held the handle in her hand with a smug look on her face, and Shangguan Ruyi was so angry that she wanted to hit her again.
Xiao Yining watched the two of them interacting with each other. The expression on his face remained the same, but his mood became increasingly depressed.
She glanced at her snack bag and silently picked up a piece of cake on the table to fill her stomach.
Her silence did not attract the attention of the two men. After all, Xiao Yining was always well-behaved and quiet when she was in girls' school.
At this time, the two of them had already started chasing each other and playing, and the noisy noise even disturbed the neighbors.
A hint of warmth appeared on Lu Chengan's stern face. He looked at his subordinates and said, "Jun Yang stays here, and you guys go back!"
"Yes."
Wang Lin also obediently pulled Pei Yi and followed everyone away.
Pei Yi watched himself being pulled further and further away, and reluctantly reminded, "Brother Lin, don't leave Sister Qing behind."
Wang Lin patted his head belatedly, "Ayi, wait here, I'll pick up Sister Qing."
Pei Yi looked at his hurried back and sighed with tiredness.
I didn't expect that after following him out for a long time, I listened to a bunch of nonsense and didn't even get to eat.
He looked at the sky. The sun was high in the sky, and it was clearly noon.
At this time, a slender figure appeared on the corridor, holding two small paper bags in his hands.
Pei Yi glanced sideways and saw a thin young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old in plain clothes. Seeing him standing there, he hurried over.
Pei Yi: ...
"Little brother, are you here to see my father? Have you just arrived or have you been here for a long time?" Lu Yunqi asked nervously.
"Brother Linzi and I have already visited Lord Lu and are planning to leave." Pei Yi replied truthfully.
After hearing this, Lu Yunqi quickly pulled up Pei Yi's sleeve and walked back. "Then don't leave yet. I'll send someone to the restaurant to cook a few dishes. You've come all the way to see my father, how can you leave without having a meal?"
He smiled bitterly and apologized, "I hope you won't blame me, little brother. My father doesn't understand common things and always treats people inappropriately. He has offended many people because of this."
Pei Yi listened expressionlessly, he had already seen through it.
Wang Lin had already come out with his unhappy niece. Seeing Pei Yi, he was surprised for a moment, "Ayi, why are you here? We should go home for dinner."
When Lu Yunqi saw the two of them, he felt a headache again. He hurriedly repeated what he had just said, trying to force them to stay.
But Xiao Yining was a little exhausted and uneasy staying here, so she said to Wang Lin, "Second Uncle, I want to go home to accompany Dad. The secret door of the girls' school is gone. I can't accompany Dad if I go back to the girls' school."
After hearing this, Wang Lin also hurriedly said to Lu Yunqi, "Master Lu, I also want to hurry back to have dinner with my parents. I slept as soon as I got home yesterday, and my parents haven't seen me yet!"
Xiao Yining and Pei Yi looked at Wang Lin at the same time, then silently turned their gazes away.
Lu Yunqi knew that he could not keep them, so he apologized to the three people again and again. Then he personally sent them out the door and said politely, "Go away and come back later."
Pei Yi raised his eyes to look at him and reminded him, "When Lord Lu is free, Brother Linzi and I will come over. He has been handling official business with the adults just now. When we left, he was still talking to Lord Shangguan."
Lu Yunqi's eyes turned dark. There were more than just three of them.
He looked at the horse and carriage moving further and further away, and suddenly felt like the sky was about to fall.
Pei Yi lifted a corner of the curtain with a folding fan and continued to look at Lu Mansion. He saw the young man standing at the door for a long time before he walked in dejectedly.
He turned to look at Xiao Yining who had been acting strangely, and asked, "Sister Qing, do you dislike the Lu family and Lord Shangguan? Why are you lying?"
Xiao Yining looked at her fellow villager in surprise. He had been with her every day for the past few days, but he didn't notice anything. She asked tentatively, "Uncle, didn't you notice anything unusual?"
Pei Yi shook his head obediently, and the expression of the kid in front of him changed drastically immediately, and he even started to show off visibly.
Pei Yi: ...
He asked sensitively, "What is Sister Qing thinking about?"
Xiao Yining pretended to be deep and replied, "Sister Qing is just wondering why I am so smart, how can others be so smart?"
Pei Yi, who heard the hidden meaning, twirled the folding fan in his hand.
Looking at Xiao Yining's annoying look, he immediately resonated with Lin Yuzan.
Pei Yi finally chuckled and said, "It's a good thing that Sister Qing is smart." Then he leaned against the wall of the car and reviewed everything that had happened recently.
He had tasted the sweetness of killing someone with a borrowed knife last time, and he had developed a keen interest in the conspiracies and tricks here.
