无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

Jiang Ruobai was in the midst of thunderbolts on a sunny day.

Jiang Ning was still applying eye drops for him: “Dad, isn’t it time to deal with that little concubine of yours?”

“Yes, yes… it’s time to deal with her.” Jiang Ruobai was completely bewildered.

“And your precious Fifth Daughter.”

“What happened to Fifth Daughter?”

“She wants to participate in the talent selection with that attitude? She doesn’t look like a lady at all, opening her mouth to say that Xiaoqian is unclean and poor… Xiaoqian is fair and cute, where is he unclean?”

Another thunderbolt on a sunny day left Jiang Ruobai scorched on the inside and tender on the outside.

The Jiang Family is finished!

Jiang Ruobai weakly asked, “The… cough, what did that little friend of yours say?”

“He’s a kid. Of course he’s going to be angry and threatening.”

“Wh-what kind of threats?”

“Just the kind of harmless words kids say, like ‘you wait for me’, ‘I won’t let this go’, and oh, he said he would ask his grandfather to cut off their heads.”

“…” Jiang Ruobai leaned on a nearby tree for support.

Jiang Ning grinned, “Do you think Old Man Li might be a butcher who kills pigs? Xiaoqian’s words are quite bloody and violent.”

Killing pigs…

Butcher…

Jiang Ruobai forced a smile, looking worse than if he were crying.

“Did he say anything else?”

“Why are you so interested in what a kid says?”

“No, no… I just want to know how nasty Aunt Hua and her daughter are.”

“They’re extremely nasty.” Jiang Ning suddenly remembered something, “I don’t know how Xiaoqian found out about this.”

“What?”

“He asked if Jiang Fifth Daughter was going to participate in Prince Yu’s wife selection and said before he left that he guaranteed Jiang Fifth Daughter wouldn’t be selected.” Jiang Ning started to mutter to herself, “I don’t know if Old Man Li is a butcher or a fortune teller, raising such a cryptic child.”

Jiang Ruobai:

At this moment, Lin Zizi came out and saw Jiang Ning. Her eyes lit up, and she waved, “Ningning, where did you go? I asked someone to prepare dinner. Come and eat.”

Jiang Ruobai looked at his wife and his eyes softened. He said to Jiang Ning, “Go and accompany your mother.”

Jiang Ning said, “Dad, I want to go out and invite a doctor.”

“Why? There are two doctors in the mansion, both skilled.”

“I can’t eat, I keep throwing up.”

“Did you catch a cold?” Jiang Ruobai touched her forehead, “Don’t worry, I’ll find a doctor for you tomorrow. As for Aunt Hua, I’ll take care of it. No one in the house will dare to bully you again. If anyone does, tell me, and I’ll deal with them.”

“Thank you, dad.”

“Go on.”

Jiang Ruobai watched her push the wheelchair toward Lin Zizi, then turned around and left. He called the housekeeper and asked about what happened in the afternoon.

The housekeeper said, “Seventh Miss spoke the truth.”

“You useless fool, what were you doing, allowing the servants to kidnap Seventh Miss’s friend?”

“Well… Old Master, these past few years Aunt Hua has been the one calling the shots in the mansion, there was nothing I could do. Besides, it was just a child, it’s not a big deal.”

“Just a child?” Jiang Ruobai sneered, “Do you know who that child is?”

“Who?”

“Did you hear what Seventh Miss called him?”

“I think it was something like… Xiaoqian?”

“That’s the emperor’s eldest grandson, Li Tingqian!”

The housekeeper’s legs went weak, and he knelt down trembling, “How did Seventh Miss become acquainted with His Highness the emperor’s eldest grandson? He even called her ‘Little Aunt’! Aunt Hua and Fifth Daughter weren’t exactly polite to him… Oh, that’s why he guaranteed Fifth Daughter wouldn’t be selected before he left…”

Jiang Ruobai’s face darkened.

The housekeeper carefully said, “Old Master, there are still two days until the talent selection. It’s not too late to withdraw Fifth Daughter’s name.” “Withdraw my ass!”

“The emperor’s eldest grandson will definitely go watch. Wouldn’t he be angry if he sees Fifth Daughter? She definitely won’t be selected then.”

“You fool, is that the issue right now?” Jiang Ruobai snapped, “Even if Fifth Daughter doesn’t go, we have to force her to go, just to let the emperor’s eldest grandson vent his anger!”
