Chapter 664 Information Exchange Conference
The five little ones who were not punished looked at each other in silence.
Shi Wanwan's eyes swept across the faces of her classmates one by one. Except for Liu Zhenying and Yan Ke, the other four all showed signs of having cried bitterly.
She couldn't help but feel suspicious, so she asked, "Why are you all so late? Just now, when Aunt Lian came to inspect our class, she looked so scary when she saw that you guys weren't here."
Shangguan Ruyi shook her head helplessly and continued, "You have maids. If you knew you would be late, you should have sent them ahead to tell Auntie. Why did you get punished and make a fool of yourself?"
Jin Xingman also nodded hurriedly in agreement: "That's right, we all thought you had left us to go out and play, but who knew that you were late together just as we had agreed."
The six little ones all smiled bitterly, not knowing how to respond to such a coincidence.
Little Yining, who felt the most innocent, was the first to have tears in her eyes. She muttered, "I was harmed by my second uncle, otherwise I would have come here earlier and made up for my father and eldest uncle's lessons."
Xu Niannian, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but speak up when she heard this: "He he he he..."
Everyone:...
This time, the little kid understood what Xu Niannian meant in an instant and explained, "My second uncle left the palace this morning and drank five bowls of porridge cooked by my mother."
At the end, the little girl was overwhelmed with sadness again, tears of grievance falling down.
Everyone had an expression that said "this is hard to judge" and they all thought that the baby was crying because he didn't get any porridge.
Jin Xingman couldn't help but comfort her, "Sister Princess, I still have a lot of snacks. If you're not full, I'll bring them to you later."
Little Yining blinked her tears, nodded, and the bowl on her head slipped down again.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, Yu Ke, who had been paying attention to her, caught her, helped her put it back on top of her head, and held her steadily.
The little sisters thought they knew the whole story, and when they looked at other people, they were surprised to find that Chen Jiaoyi was crying silently.
Chen Jiaoyi was obviously aware of everyone's gazes. She wiped away her tears and murmured in response: "My grandfather did not return home all night. Before I came, he was still in the palace."
Liu Zhenying quickly held the bowl and turned to comfort her, "Don't worry, Jiaojiao. Didn't my mother say that when my father returns, she will send a message to let you know whether General Chen is safe and sound?"
The big news of Chen Du besieging Wang Lin last night happened in the middle of the night and has not spread yet, so few people know about it.
The older sisters were also people who knew their limits. When they heard that it was related to the superiors, and since Chen Jiaoyi kept glancing at the little girl while she was talking, they tactfully did not ask any questions.
However, even if they didn't ask, there were things they could say that would allow them to guess something.
Little Yining couldn't help but raise her head again and said, "Sister Chen, my second uncle has returned to the palace after drinking the porridge. My eldest uncle said that he has been playing in the Ministry of War for a few days and finally wants to go to work!"
"Snapped"
Chen Jiaoyi's bowl slipped off her shoulders, and she quickly asked, "Sister Princess, did your second uncle tell you where he was going?"
"He wants to be an Iron Eagle Guard." The kid answered truthfully and lowered his head to hide his depressed expression.
The little boy sighed in his heart: Needless to say, Chen Jiaoyi must know what her grandfather has done, but I don’t know whether she has leaked the fact that her father and uncle had been to North City.
While thinking, Xiao Yining slightly turned his head and looked at Chen Jiaoyi, only to see that her brows were relaxed and her face was filled with joy, and she was obviously very happy.
Naturally, everyone did not miss the change in Chen Jiaoyi's expression. They exchanged meaningful glances with each other, then shifted their gaze as if nothing had happened and looked at Cui Zhiyao with concern.
Cui Zhiyao also satisfied everyone's desire to eat melons, and pursed her lips as she talked about her own big melon that was full of dangers.
Everyone was frightened and relieved at the same time. They also learned about the life-saving deeds of Wang and Lin. With the deliberate portrayal by the little girl, their heroic images were elevated several degrees.
Chen Jiaoyi sighed with deep emotion: "Father Lin is a very good person. Sister Cui is very lucky to meet him."
After she finished speaking, the joy on her face disappeared as she recalled her grandfather's reaction last night when she tried to stop him and told him that he had been saved by Lin Yuzan.
——In memory——
In the dim firelight, my grandfather's face was reflected as hideous as a devil from hell, and the words he said were even more chilling.
"If these two really appeared in North City and saved you and your mother, then grandfather would not let Wang Lin and them stay."
"Why, Grandfather? Uncle Lin is Jiaojiao's savior! What's more, Uncle Wang Er has maintained the stability of North City." Chen Jiaoyi was puzzled.
Chen Du's face was gloomy and terrible. "That's why I can't keep him. Wang Lin almost made my grandfather lose all his prestige in North City. If he had two helpers, there would be no place for my Chen family in North City."
"Jiaojiao, do you know what will happen to our family? Your great-grandfather relied on the whip of the late emperor to disrespect the emperor many times. If he passes away, with the revengeful character of the above man, will he let my Chen family survive?"
"North City is stable, our Chen family is useless, Wang Lin rises up, comparable to the God of War, have you ever thought that the lives of our entire Chen family are involved in the aftermath?"
"If we, the generals, cannot fight in battle, we are no different from dead men in the eyes of the emperor."
"Jiaojiao, you are the eldest daughter of the family. You should know what you are carrying. Don't be willful."
Every word her grandfather spoke struck her heart hard.
——End of memories——
Chen Jiaoyi's eyebrows trembled slightly, and she came out of her thoughts and looked around.
None of her classmates noticed anything unusual about her, and their eyes were still moving between Cui Zhiyao and Xiao Yining.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and continued to listen to their conversation.
At this time, Cui Zhiyao was still telling the little kid, "Sister Princess, I thought about it yesterday and found that your father's friend is a bad guy. You must tell your father not to be harmed by him."
Xiao Yining: (^.^), I didn’t expect Sister Cui to see through it too. It turns out that the girls in this school are not naive!
The little kid nodded in agreement and replied, "Sister Cui, Brother Wenyuan said he would come to see you in a few days!"
"Snapped!"
Cui Zhiyao also dropped her bowl. She burst into tears of joy and asked repeatedly, "Is this true, Princess Sister?"
Xiao Yining nodded solemnly to confirm the matter with her.
Cui Zhiyao was extremely excited and wanted to ask the little girl where he had seen her nephew.
Just at this moment, Yan Ke's scream suddenly came from their side, accompanied by the sound of two bowls breaking when they fell to the ground.
Yan Ke's face was full of anger, and he blamed her: "Zhang Nishang, you can't stand properly no matter how hard you try. You even knocked over my bowl."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Nishang seemed not to hear and hurriedly reminded: "Aunt is back."
Everyone was suddenly startled and looked to the side quickly, and saw a yellow figure quietly appearing at the corner of the corridor.
The melon-eating team that was chatting animatedly just now suddenly fell silent and scattered like birds and beasts. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace, leaving only six punished people.
