The moment Rong Xuan heard Qin Shuhua's tone, she knew that Qin Shuhua had no inkling regarding what had happened with Ye Youyou.
In fact, she had only heard the gist of it. After some thought, she replied, "It seems that lady was framed for something and is currently in jail. As for the details, I'm not too sure about them, but the situation seems to be very complicated. It's a huge matter. Did you not hear about it?
Indeed, Qin Shuhua had no idea. She knew without too much thought that she must have been deliberately kept in the dark. They were probably afraid that she'd be worried.
Without thinking too deeply into it, she bent her head and glanced at the little kid beside her.
Li Jianyue was dressed in a little sleeping gown. Hugging Qin Shuhua's leg, she had an urgent expression on her face and mouthed the words "Let me speak on the phone."
Qin Shuhua chuckled and said into the phone, "Ersu would like to speak with you."
With that, she placed the phone into the child's hands. Once she had the phone, Li Jianyue couldn't wait to speak. She called out, "Grandma!"
Her crisp and throaty voice was very pleasant to the ears. The smile on Rong Xuan's face reached her eyes as she replied, "Ersu, you aren't asleep yet? It's already late!"
Li Jianyue looked up and glanced at Qin Shuhua as she responded, "It's still early, Grandma. I don't feel like sleeping. Is my older brother with you?"
"Yeah. Your old brother went out for a walk with Grandpa after finishing his dinner, " Rong Xuan said."After he came back, he returned to his room and went to bed."
"Can you let me talk to my older brother on the phone please?" Li Jianyue's little hands were so small that she needed both of them to steadily hold the phone. Her expression was extremely serious as she continued, "I miss my brother very much. Why is my brother still not back yet?"
Before Rong Xuan had the chance to say anything, she heard a small commotion coming from the side. She turned her head and found Li Jianqian, dressed in a pair of child-sized pajamas, looking over at her. His beautiful porcelain face was a little reddish in some areas, especially around the eyes. There were two red circles around them.
When Rong Xuan saw him, she waved him over and said, "Your little sister would like to speak to you. Come over here."
Li Jianqian quickly made his way over. Seeing that he ran over barefooted, Rong Xuan had an expression of admonishment on her face as she exclaimed, "Why aren't you wearing your shoes? Be careful so that you don't catch a cold!"
Li Jianqian did not reply. He took the phone and asked, "Is this Ersu?"
Li Jianyue felt a sense of elation the moment she heard Li Jianqian's voice. Sweetly, she called out, "Older Brother, when are you coming home? Little Tiny Su is so dumb! She just runs around all the time. It's not fun to play with her at all. Older Brother, when will you come home to play with me?"
Li Jianqian pursed his lips into a thin line when he heard that and replied, "I don't know. Perhaps after some time, Daddy will allow me to come back. Don't sleep too late. Goodbye."
Before Li Jianyue had the chance to respond, Li Jianqian hung up the phone.
Rong Xuan had just brought a tiny pair of shoes over when she saw that Li Jianqian's eyes were reddish.
She barely had a chance to say anything before Li Jianqian walked up to her and took the shoes from her hands. He put them on and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Grandma, " before turning to run off. 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝒆𝘣𝙣ovel - 🅽🅽novel
Rong Xuan suddenly felt a little guilty. She and her husband had wanted to look after one of Su Qianci's children. Perhaps doing so was too cruel to the child.

The more Qin Shuhua thought about it, the more she was convinced that something was off. She made a call to Li Jinnan. It seemed that he was busy in the midst of something since it took quite a few rings before the call was finally answered.
"Hello?" Li Jinnan's voice was laced with fatigue.
Qin Shuhua got to the point immediately."What happened to your girlfriend? Why is she in jail?"
