Chapter 216 My Tail Is About to Break the House
Shen Ningning looked down and saw that the signature on the painting was Xie Suzhi's seal.
And he also wrote the title "My Wife and Beloved Daughter" for this painting.
Shen Ningning's little hand couldn't help but touch the palm of the baby in the painting.
She didn't know whether the mole on the baby's palm was a drop of ink accidentally placed on it, or whether he had a mole just like her.
But no matter which possibility it was, it was too much of a coincidence.
By chance, her heart jumped suddenly, and a bold guess came into her mind.
Could it be that the godfather made a mistake? Since that maid can steal the child, she must be a bad guy.
So, will the bad guy swap her with someone else's daughter and claim that she is the farmer's child?
Shen Ningning had no way of verifying all of this, but she could associate so much with just one mole.
The little guy pursed his lips, and she felt vaguely that what she thought was too beautiful.
However, she really hopes that her godfather and brother are her relatives.
Suddenly, Xie Suzhi's voice came from the door: "Ning Ning? Little guy, why don't you light a lamp when you read? It's not good for your eyes."
However, when Xie Su walked in, he saw Shen Ningning observing the paintings that he had not had time to put away.
The little guy looked up and saw Xie Suzhi's face was calm. He just paused and then smiled gently.
"So I was reading a painting. Did you forget to light the lamp? Godfather, help you." He came over and lit the lamp.
"Daddy, on this painting..." She couldn't help but speak, eager to tell him her guess.
However, when the words came to her lips, Shen Ningning couldn't say them again.
She carefully protected the happiness she had finally gained, fearing the warmth of home, which would melt like heavy snow under the sun.
The little guy was worried that if he said too much, Xie Suzhi would think she was greedy.
She is not coveting the title of Xie Mansion, but wants to find her real family.
However, with only one ink mole that I didn't know if it was thrown up, I asked Xie Suzhi if he had made a mistake in the original investigation.
In Shen Ningning's eyes, this is nothing more than causing trouble for the Xie family.
So, she smiled shyly and obediently: "The picture above is the godmother. She is so beautiful!"
Xie Suzhi smiled, looked at the painting, and nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, this painting was drawn by me when our daughter was just born. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost five years."
"Usually I just put it at the bottom of the box. Occasionally I take it out and miss it for a while, and then I feel sad every time."
Seeing the nostalgia and sadness in Xie Suzhi's eyes, Shen Ningning hurriedly took the initiative to roll up the scroll.
"Then let's not look at it for now. Godfather, please put the paintings away and let's go eat. My little belly is hungry, and I also brought back crispy duck for my godfather." She showed a cute and sweet smile.
In the unlit study room, taking advantage of the blue night outside, Xie Suzhi lowered his head slightly, and his eyes flashed dimly, fleetingly.
He raised his eyes, smiled softly, and touched Shen Ningning's little head: "Okay, let's go eat."
At this moment, Xie Mingxu's voice came from the door: "Ning Ning?"
Xie Suzhi immediately said: "Mingxu, take Ningning to clean her hands and wait for me in the dining room."
The door opened, and Xie Mingxu's tall figure stood there, like a majestic mountain, with a sense of security.
Shen Ningning ran towards him: "Brother, give me a hug."
Xie Mingxu smiled and picked her up, letting the little one sit on his shoulders.
"Let's go, brother, I'll take you to clean your hands. I heard that you bought crispy duck for your father. What can you bring to brother next time, eh?"
The brother and sister left talking and laughing.
At that moment, Shen Ningning felt a little happy in her heart.
The godfather loves his daughter so much, how could he make a mistake?
It's just her wishful thinking.
After Shen Ningning left, Xie Suzhi's eyes suddenly turned dark and dark.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the scroll, slowly unfolding it, looking for any flaw that might be exposed.
Finally, the butler's call came from outside the door: "Master, it's time to eat."
Xie Suzhi put the scroll away: "I understand."
At the dinner table, Shen Ningning proudly took out three thousand taels of silver notes and handed them to Xie Suzhi with both hands with a smile.
"Godfather, I bought wood with the money you gave me last time, and later started a small business. I will share some of the money I earned with you."
Xie Suzhi's cold face was filled with a doting smile: "Really? Ning Ning is so powerful that she can actually do small business."
He took it and saw that the banknote actually had an extra five hundred taels.
Xie Mingxu chuckled: "Brother knows that Ning Ning is not a child who spends money randomly."
These words were specifically addressed to Mrs. Xie Er across from me.
As expected, Mrs. Xie's face flashed with embarrassment.
She smiled dryly and said, "Oh, Ning Ning is really capable. I wish I could become a businesswoman in the future."
"It would be great to imitate the powerful eldest lady of the Meng family in our Cangyun Kingdom!"
Xie Yuanjiu stood by and gently stirred the shredded chicken and bird's nest porridge with a spoon.
She spoke slowly and leisurely, with a faint smile: "Mom, how can you let Ning Ning do business? This is a waste of her talent."
"The master praised her many times for her answers when taking the exam, and even asked us to learn from her."
Mr. Xie's eyes lit up: "After all, we, Ning Ning, entered the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies with the first place in Class A, so of course we are great!"
Xie Suzhi followed Yourong and said with a smile: "Yes, I have been to the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies several times, and the masters all praised Ning Ning."
Shen Ningning put down her chopsticks and covered her butt.
When Xie Mingxu saw it, he laughed and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Godfather, Second Uncle, please be slow in praising me. I'm afraid my proud little tail will poke a hole in the roof." The little guy said softly, with a childish and cute voice.
Xie Suzhi and Second Master Xie laughed at the same time, and they both picked up food for the little guy.
The housekeeper smiled secretly beside him.
Since Princess Funing came to the house, the master and the second master have obviously been happier.
Even the eldest son Xie Mingxu often goes home for meals. Good things, really good things!
Only Mrs. Xie lowered her head in dissatisfaction and curled her lips.
In the evening, when she returned to the second room, Second Master Xie went to Sima Han for acupuncture, and Mrs. Xie pulled Xie Yuanjiu to complain.
"Your uncle, your father, and your elder brother are all doting on Shen Ningning."
"At such a young age, how can she be so sweet-talking and coaxing? She is really a mercenary."
"If this continues, the good things in the prime minister's mansion will belong to her sooner or later!"
Xie Yuanjiu heard the tone of gloom: "Mother, then we should kill Shen Ningning and make her not show up, isn't it better?"
Mrs. Xie was shocked when she heard this.
She hated Shen Ningning, but she didn't want her to die, after all, she was still a child.
"Jiujiu, are you telling the truth?"
Xie Yuanjiu's eyes were still sinister and cold just now, but now she suddenly laughed: "How can it be true?"
"I just heard you say too much and I'm a little annoyed. Okay, mother, go out, I want to read a book."
Mrs. Xie patted her chest: "You kid, why do you always say that kind of words to scare mother?"
After she left, Xie Yuanjiu's eyes were gloomy.
She felt that Shen Ningning's handwriting was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
