My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 159 It's called Zhu'er, my daughter

Qingtuan slowly landed and retracted his wings. After swallowing the last mouthful of grass, he lazily asked, "Master, are we here yet?" As soon as he raised his head, he saw the carriage had gone far away.

Seeing this, Qingtuan quickly chased after the rabbit and shouted, "Master! Don't you want me anymore! Master! I will never eat so much again! Please don't abandon me!" After he finished speaking, Qingtuan used his amazing speed to quickly catch up with the carriage and wanted to jump in through the window of the carriage, but he collided head-on with Wan Sutong who was lying on the window watching. The man and the rabbit cried out at the same time, which made Zhao Jinghua burst out laughing.

Wan Sutong was knocked down into Zhao Jinghua's arms, and Qingtuan happened to fall on Wan Sutong's legs. Wan Sutong covered her forehead with her left hand and looked at Qingtuan in disbelief. "Didn't I tell you to stay away and return to my Linghai? How did you come here, and run so fast?"

Qingtuan smiled awkwardly, "Hehehehe, I didn't hear you. I was just busy eating." Wan Sutong sighed heavily after hearing this, "Forget it, let's try again later."

At the same time, Eunuch Chen was lying on the couch with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he felt his chest sink. He instantly opened his murderous eyes. Just as he was about to turn his head to look, he heard a familiar voice, "Master! I miss you so much!"

Eunuch Chen sat up in disbelief, and then excitedly hugged the white python in his arms. "Xiaobai! You're back!" At this moment, Eunuch Chen felt as if he had returned to the years of Dancing Elephants, when Zhao Hongyu first brought it to his side.

"If you have a petition, please submit. If you don't, please leave the court!" The fifteen-year-old eunuch Chen shouted this sentence at the top of his voice, and the ministers below knelt down and said, "I will leave now."

Zhao Hongyu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked extremely pale, and the fine cloth wrapped around the wound on his right wrist could be vaguely seen. After the minister left, he frowned slightly, slowly stood up, and walked out of the hall with weak steps.

Seeing this, Eunuch Chen hurriedly walked to Zhao Hongyu's left side and supported his only uninjured arm. "Foster father, you are so seriously injured, why don't you rest for a few days?"

Zhao Hongyu sighed and did not answer. Instead, he transformed into a little white snake that was only as thick as a finger and slightly longer than a palm, and handed it to Chen Ye. When the little white snake saw Eunuch Chen, it wagged its tail like a puppy and whispered "Master."

Chen Ye took the snake with great confusion, then looked up at Zhao Hongyu's expressionless face and asked, "Is it for the child?"

Zhao Hongyu nodded slightly, his tone was so calm that no emotion could be heard. "It was a dragon, but it was injured and its cultivation level declined, so it turned into a snake." After saying this, Zhao Hongyu pulled his hand out of Eunuch Chen's hand. "Don't worry," he then forced himself to walk away.

Chen Ye sighed heavily as he watched Zhao Hongyu leave. At this time, the little white snake looked at Zhao Hongyu's back in disbelief. "He and my brother were both seriously injured, so why does he seem to be fine?"

Eunuch Chen frowned upon hearing this and said, "I don't know. How about I call you Xiaobai from now on?" But he was thinking in his heart, "How could I not know? My adoptive father is extremely strong and would never let others see his weak side, not even me..."

Little White Snake nodded after hearing this, "Okay!" Recalling this, Eunuch Chen touched Little White's head and asked, "Did your foster father send you back?"

Xiao Bai hummed and asked curiously, "How did the master know?"

Eunuch Chen smiled with an ambiguous meaning, "I guessed it."

Time flies and it is the day of August 15th when they return to Beijing. Wan Sutong wants to ride in a carriage with her mother, but because the carriage is a little small and there is Zhu'er's partner, the panda leader, behind Wan Sutong, Wan Yanzhong is persuaded by Wan Sutong to ride in her and Zhao Jinghua's carriage.

When Wan Yanzhong stepped onto the carriage, he saw a panda sitting next to Zhao Jinghua. The panda was holding a bamboo shoot in its hand. When it saw Wan Yanzhong, it put the bamboo shoot into its mouth and bit it, then waved its paw at Wan Yanzhong, as if to say hello again.

Wan Yanzhong nodded at it, and then sat down with Zhao Jinghua face to face. However, it was not Zhao Jinghua who was embarrassed at this time, but Wan Yanzhong.

He had not noticed any difference between Zhao Jinghua and before these few days, but today when they were sitting in the same carriage together, he realized that even though Zhao Jinghua tried his best to restrain his aura, Wan Yanzhong still felt that the pressure in the carriage was more oppressive than living in the same tent with Zhao Jinfang. This was because Zhao Jinghua not only had the pressure from being an emperor, but also the evil spirit brought by his killings before he ascended the throne.

Wan Yanzhong raised his head and forced a smile, "Is it a pair with the one next to my daughter?"

Zhao Jinghua nodded slightly, raised his hand and touched the panda's head. "Its name is Zhu'er, my daughter." Zhu'er nodded vigorously after hearing this. She looked very cute.

Wan Yanzhong nodded with a mentality of not understanding but respecting, and consoled himself in his heart, "Perhaps it was because Emperor Hongyu wanted to have a child of his own that he placed his feelings on it. It is definitely not that his personality is different from that of ordinary people."

Zhao Jinghua chuckled at this time and looked at Wan Yanzhong with panic. "I picked it up in a bamboo forest. It was only the size of a palm at that time but was abandoned by the female animal. Its cry was sharp and pitiful. I brought it back to the barracks and fed it with goat milk. My original intention was to release it back to the bamboo forest after it grew up. But later, when I saw it crawling towards me on all fours on the ground like a child, my original decision was shaken a little." At this point, Zhao Jinghua turned his head to look at Zhu'er, held Zhu'er's front paw with his right hand, and gently stroked the back of its furry hand with his left hand, like a good father who loves his daughter. "It was very obedient and would wait for me in the military tent. Later, it grew up gradually. Every time I returned to the military tent, it would call to me like a spoiled child. I taught it to fish, climb trees, and how to break bamboo. Later, I found a tribe that was willing to accept it and let them live in the back mountain of the villa." Zhao Jinghua couldn't help laughing when he recalled how embarrassed he was when he taught Zhu'er to climb trees. "I was in a very embarrassed state when I climbed trees, but fortunately, it also learned it." Zhu'er on the side giggled after hearing this, as innocent and cute as a child. Zhao Jinghua raised his hand with a smile and rubbed Zhu'er's fluffy head.

Wan Yanzhong listened with great interest and understood why Zhao Hongyu recognized the beast as his daughter. However, when he thought of Zhao Hongyu, who was once the emperor, but was climbing around in trees, he burst out laughing.

Zhao Jinghua withdrew his hand holding Zhu'er's front paw, then raised his head slightly and chuckled, "There are many more like this. If my father-in-law finds it interesting, I will talk to you in detail another day."

Wan Yanzhong suppressed his smile and nodded calmly, "Okay, okay, son-in-law, has my daughter been acting up these past few days?"

When Wan Sutong was mentioned, Zhao Jinghua's eyes gradually became tender. "How could that be? Sutong never makes trouble." As soon as Wan Yanzhong finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the carriage was so depressing.

Wan Yanzhong nodded and thought to himself, "I should have mentioned Nannan earlier." At this time, Wan Yanzhong sighed and recalled his underwear that was made into a kite, the wine that was replaced with water, and the tobacco leaves that were replaced with dry grass. In the end, it successfully helped Wan Yanzhong quit smoking. Thinking of this, Wan Yanzhong laughed in disbelief, "Really?"

Zhao Jinghua nodded slightly and said, "Su Tong and I will leave the convoy tomorrow and wait for you at the Prime Minister's Mansion."
