Chapter 931: Chapter 884: Finale Arc (10)_2
Inside the carriage, Jinbao fished out the copper coin his father gave him for the ride, and he calculated how many sugar figurines he could buy when he got off.
Through the curtain, the coachman asked a question, and he answered.
Of course, he couldnât tell anyone that his mother was the Commandery Princess, otherwise theyâd definitely have bad intentions and kidnap him to blackmail her for money.
He said his mother was the most formidable steward by the Commandery Princessâs side, so they wouldnât try to scheme for money, nor dare to harm him.
The coachman was very kind, talking to him a lot along the way, and indeed didnât take a single copper coin when they arrived on the street where the Changning Marquis Mansion was located.
Having nothing to repay him with, Jinbaoâs little chubby hand clenched the copper coin and tiptoed to plant a smooch on the old grandpaâs cheek.
The coachman stroked his beard and laughed heartily, pointing to a place ahead with large stone lions, "Thatâs the Changning Marquis Mansion, hurry along now, donât keep the gentleman waiting."
Once the coachman and carriage rolled away, Jinbao stepped back, blew on two sugar figurines at the street corner, took them, and then arrived outside the corner gate of the Changning Marquis Mansion.
The servants recognized him at a glance, exclaiming, "Young Master Cousin?"
Jinbao bit into a sugar figurine, his big eyes blinking, "I want to see mother."
A few servants were stunned, wasnât Young Master Cousin in Ningzhou? How come he suddenly appeared in the Capital?
Without thinking much further, one servant said, "Even if the Commandery Princess divorced Mr. Song, Young Master Cousin is still the Commandery Princessâs biological son, so letâs quickly take him inside."
"Yes, yes, we canât be neglectful, otherwise the Commandery Princess will be unhappy if she finds out."
After discussing, two servants stayed at the corner gate to keep guard, while two others took Jinbao directly to Liufang Courtyard.
Wen Wan completely didnât expect her son to come knocking, she stood under the eaves, staring wide-eyed at the little rascal licking the sugar figurine in the courtyard.
After a long while, Wen Wan asked him, "Why are you here? Whereâs your father?"
The servants had already backed down, and seeing no one around, Jinbao said, "Father is currently figuring out how to escape."
"How did you find your way here alone?"
Wen Wanâs heart contracted at the thought of the recently horrifying case, and how such a young son had found his way from Prince Cheng Mansion to Changning Marquis Mansion.
Jinbao was pulled into the room by Wen Wan, sat down, and then recounted how he tricked the coachman into getting a free ride.
Wen Wan was momentarily speechless, a bit at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Zhao Xunyin, who had just returned from bathing Lu Yanli, overheard the noise outside the door, initially couldnât believe it, and when she opened the curtain to enter the room, she was stunned to see indeed Jinbao sitting on the small couch, "When did my little grandson come to Beijing?"
Seeing Zhao Xunyin, Jinbao placed down the sugar figurine and ran over, hugging her tightly.
"Grandmother, grandmotherď˝"
The little rascalâs voice was especially sweet.
Zhao Xunyinâs heart melted from his sweet call, she reached out to ruffle his slightly messy hair, "Whatâs up?"
"Will you take Jinbao in?" The little rascal raised his head, consistently showing a pitiful look, "Jinbao can write, draw, and tell stories."
Zhao Xunyin couldnât help but burst into laughter, "I think you just love to eat."
The little rascal grinned, showing a mouthful of little white teeth, "Grandmother is the bestď˝"
Saying this, he rubbed his head against Zhao Xunyinâs waist.
Who could resist such cuteness? Zhao Xunyin surrendered, "Alright, alright, grandmother will take you in, but you must promise grandmother not to run around, not to let anyone find you, understand?"
"Jinbao will be very obedient." The little rascal achieved his goal, promptly let go of Zhao Xunyin, took off his shoes, climbed onto the small couch, and continued eating sugar figurines cross-legged.
Zhao Xunyin: "..."
Heâs truly a heartless yet endearing little rascal.
Wen Wan smiled and explained to Zhao Xunyin that actually the father and son had already arrived in the Capital long ago.
Upon learning that this family of three was putting on a show at Prince Cheng Mansion, Zhao Xunyinâs face immediately darkened, "Are you saying that recent case was done by Prince Cheng?"
"Mom." Wen Wan pulled Zhao Xunyinâs hand, "Keep your voice down, itâs not good if someone hears."
Zhao Xunyin was so angry that her face turned bluish-black, "That despicable Prince Cheng, how dare he!"
Saying this, she was about to get up, "Iâll tell Your Majesty, he must be punished for such reckless cruelty!"
"Mom." Wen Wan was a bit helpless, "I already told you, Third Son is handling it, itâs not convenient to inform Your Majesty yet, you wouldnât want Prince Cheng to capture Jinbao and use him as a drug catalyst?"
Just thinking about that drug catalyst, Zhao Xunyinâs neck felt icy cold, she shivered but still couldnât swallow her anger, "Despicable wretch, heâs truly fearless! How did he manage to escape the scrutiny of the Jinyi Guard?"
Regarding this, Wen Wan also expressed her doubt, "Probably bribed some Jianghu expert."
