Chapter 105: Call Me Dad

Ning Yue was very puzzled. No matter how secretive it was, as long as they investigated, the news would spread.

If word got out and the general’s residence took precautions, the emperor would probably be unable to investigate anything.

“The people in charge of the investigation are the guards raised by Grandpa when he was alive. These people are very capable, and they won’t leak any secrets. It’s best to let them investigate.”

Ning Yue nodded, but she didn’t understand. “Since this is a secret investigation, isn’t it inappropriate for you to tell me? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll leak the secret?”

“If I were afraid, I wouldn’t have made this trip.” Jiang Ying looked at Ning Yue with burning eyes. He trusted Ning Yue.

Ning Yue’s heart skipped a beat because of Jiang Ying’s words. She didn’t dare to look up at Jiang Ying, afraid that she would see his burning gaze.

She asked softly, “What can I do?”

“We don’t have to do much. We just have to leak the news about the Matriarch and leave the rest to them to investigate.”

In Jiang Ying’s opinion, the biggest problem in the entire General’s residence was the Matriarch.

As long as he dug out the Matriarch’s secret, the investigation into the general’s residence would be almost complete.

“Everyone thinks that since your grandmother has passed away, you can take the opportunity to spread the news that your grandmother is still alive. This way, the position of Matriarch of the General’s Residence will no longer be legitimate. It’s a good thing to use Uncle Emperor to avenge your grandmother.”

There was no need for Ning Yue’s hands to be stained with those filthy things.

Hearing Jiang Ying’s words, Ning Yue was touched. She couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you helping me?”

“There’s no why. In the future, remember that you have me behind you. I’ll shelter you from the wind and rain. I’ll do whatever you want.”

Ning Yue’s face turned red. She looked at Jiang Ying. “Will you accompany me no matter what I do? What if I want to kill someone?”

Jiang Ying answered without hesitation, “Then I’ll help you hold a knife and a torch.”

Ning Yue suddenly didn’t know what to reply. She wanted to know if this was a confession or a responsibility.

If it was because of responsibility, then he didn’t have to do so much.

“I…”

Ning Yue was about to say something when Jiang Ying interrupted her. He looked at Ning Yue affectionately. “Yueyue, I like you very much.”

This time, Ning Yue didn’t know how to answer.

“Wow! I have a young aunt!”

At this moment, a young voice came from the door.

Ning Yue looked up and saw a few young faces. Jiang Chi, who was carrying Xiaobao, and Erlang, who was carrying Xiaobei.

“Why are you here?” Ning Yue was shocked. The first half of Jiang Ying’s words were confidential. Had these children heard them?

“Hehe, we got tired of playing outside, so we came in to rest and drink some water. In the end, we heard from Little Uncle that he likes Auntie Yueyue.”

Hearing Jiang Chi’s words, Ning Yue finally relaxed a little. However, her face quickly turned even redder.

“Sister, am I going to have a brother-in-law? Are the two children going to have a father?” Erlang looked at Ning Yue happily.

In the few days he had been in the capital, he could tell that Young Master Jiang Ying liked his sister very much. If the two of them could be together, his sister would be even happier.

“Second Young Master!” Ning Yue called out, gritting her teeth as she looked at Jiang Ying.

With his skills, he should have noticed someone approaching long ago, but he still said those words. He must have done it on purpose!

Jiang Ying didn’t say anything. He smiled at Erlang and Jiang Chi. Very good. The two children were very good at talking. He silently gave them credit.

Ning Yue was about to say something when Xiaobei suddenly laughed. She staggered towards Jiang Ying and stretched out her fair hands. “Father!”

“Hey!” Jiang Ying squatted down happily and hugged Xiaobei. “Xiaobei is so obedient.”

Ning Yue stared at the two of them, dumbfounded. What had she just heard?

Xiaobei actually addressed Jiang Ying as her father?

Although Jiang Ying was indeed their father, she had never taught Xiaobei to call him that.

Moreover, Jiang Ying had agreed so easily!

“Wow, Xiaobei can speak!” Erlang was very surprised that Xiaobei would call Jiang Ying her father, but he was even happier that Xiaobei could speak.

These two children had just learned how to walk. They swayed like little ducks. Last night, he had told his aunt that he didn’t know when these two children would speak. He didn’t expect them to speak today.

“I’ll tell Young Aunt.” With that, Erlang ran off. Ning Yue couldn’t stop him.
