Chapter 332 Don’t Let Yun’er Know
Later, for the sake of his sister and to find an opportunity to assassinate again, Xiao Jian followed them all the way back to the capital.
He was obsessed with finding out all kinds of news about Xiaoyanzi, wanting to know her life and everything that had happened to her in the capital over the years. The more he knew, the more Xiao Jian was certain that Xiaoyanzi was his sister.
They are so similar. Xiaoyanzi's hatred of evil and her cleverness are very much like their father.
Xiao Jian was looking forward to meeting Xiao Yanzi formally, but he never had the chance. Even after Cai Lian entered the palace, he couldn't contact her and could only worry outside.
It was not until the truth of who was the real princess and who was the fake princess was revealed and Xiaoyanzi returned to Huibinlou that the two met for the first time.
Xiaoyanzi pieced together Uncle Xiao's explanation and her understanding of Xiao Jian, and also knew what Xiao Jian was busy with.
Xiaoyanzi found it hard to believe. It turned out that Cailian was her brother's person. No wonder Cailian insisted on clinging to Yongqi on the way to the south, like a piece of taffy that couldn't be shaken off.
No wonder she insisted on having Yongqi just because they helped her once, and even followed him to the palace.
In fact, because of Cai Lian, she and Yongqi had many conflicts. All of this was caused by her own brother. It was actually her own brother who set up obstacles for the two of them.
For a moment, Xiaoyanzi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In fact, her brother is right. Yongqi is indeed not trustworthy. However, Xiaoyanzi can't help but wonder if there were no such "coincidences", would her and Yongqi's ending be different?
Xiaoyanzi didn't dare to think too much about it. Xiao Jian was her brother, and everything he did was for her own good. She couldn't be ungrateful.
But she was still sad. She and Yongqi were not from the same world.
Seeing Xiaoyanzi's sad expression, Aunt Xiao thought she was grieving for Xiao Jian. She gently comforted her, "You and your brother have had a hard life. It's our bad luck. Good Yun'er, don't worry about it. We will be fine in the future."
Xiaoyanzi couldn't stay any longer, she stood up suddenly, "Aunt, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm tired and I'm going to rest first."
Watching Xiaoyanzi leave, Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao sighed, thinking that the children had a miserable life.
"Master, what do you think? Should we give that concubine a gift? It will also give Yun'er some relief. I think she's also mad at Cailian."
"how do you want to do it?"
Aunt Xiao really didn't want to leave in such a disgraced state, so she wanted to at least make Cai Lian unhappy.
"Hasn't the Fifth Lady already suspected Cai Lian? Let's just help her out, and save her from having to investigate like a headless fly. After all, we're not far from the capital now, so sending a letter quickly will be quick."
Uncle Xiao nodded in agreement. "Well, that's fine. After all, there's no good in this family. I've already abolished the Fifth Prince, so let them fight each other."
"What did you say? You abolished the Fifth Prince?" Aunt Xiao was extremely shocked. "You just beat him up to vent your anger, didn't you? You abolished him? Do you want my Xiao family to be wiped out again?"
Aunt Xiao lowered her voice and spoke angrily, not understanding why Uncle Xiao had to be so cruel.
No matter how bad the Fifth Prince is, he is still a dignified prince. It is okay to give him a beating. The emperor is far away and they can just leave. Even if the emperor wants to investigate, he will find it troublesome. It will be no small matter to depose him!
Uncle Xiao was quite calm. He dared to do it because he was sure that nothing would happen. "What are you afraid of? I've inquired about this Fifth Prince. The Emperor is quite disgusted with him. Not only does he not say anything, but he himself is also confused. I dared to do it because I was sure that this loser would not dare to say anything."
"You," Aunt Xiao disagreed with Uncle Xiao's point of view. She questioned in a low voice, "You're too cruel. After all, it's just a matter of love. You could have just given him a beating, why did you use such harsh force?"
"I just thought about how miserable our Yun'er is. After we're gone, he can still be his brother as usual, surrounded by wives and concubines. Why would such a good thing happen to him?"
Uncle Xiao became angrier and slammed his hand on the table. "I don't know if Yun'er can be cured yet. I'm already doing a great job by sparing him his life."
"That kid's life hasn't been easy either. I think he's at the end of his rope. Even though we're angry, we shouldn't be doing this, honestly."
Uncle Xiao didn't say anything, and Aunt Xiao sighed. Uncle Xiao was a good person in every way except that he was too impulsive. Now she just hoped that his inference was correct. Otherwise, if he brought big trouble to the family because of a momentary pleasure, it would be a real loss of both the wife and the army.
"You, you really should change your bad temper in the future. Forgive others when you can. Big brother and Xiao Feng both suffered a great loss because of this. Why don't you learn from your mistakes?"
Hearing Aunt Xiao start to mutter these words again, Uncle Xiao was a little unhappy, "Big brother was murdered by a villain, but he is a hero who eliminated evil for the people. How can this be the same?"
"Yes, yes, but you should be more restrained."
"I know. I'll think twice before I do anything."
Seeing that Uncle Xiao said nice things but didn't really take them to heart, Aunt Xiao sighed silently.
Forget it, he has lived for half his life but still can't change his stubborn temper. Fortunately, they are in Dali, running a tea garden and doing some small business, and they don't have to deal with the powerful.
"Forget it, you've done it. I won't be angry with you. But you must not let Yun'er know about this!" Aunt Xiao is a woman, and she can understand that although Xiaoyanzi followed them, her heart remained in the capital, and she cared about the Fifth Prince.
If Xiaoyanzi knew about this, she would be extremely worried.
"Alright, stop blaming me. Yun'er didn't eat much just now. Go give her some food and comfort her. As an uncle, I can't ask for help, so I have to trouble you, Madam."
"It's cold now. I'll ask the kitchen to make some more. Please write a letter and have someone send it to the capital."
Aunt Xiao asked the kitchen to prepare some more dishes for Xiaoyanzi and brought them to her room.
After knocking gently on the door and receiving no response, Aunt Xiao asked softly, "Yun'er, can I come in?"
After a while, Xiaoyanzi opened the door.
Aunt Xiao seemed not to notice that Xiaoyanzi had just cried, and she walked in with the dishes, smiling.
"Auntie knows you have no appetite, but people are made of iron and food is made of steel. You still need to eat a little. Eat something and then have a good rest so that you can travel tomorrow."
"I'd like to trouble my aunt to bring it to me, but I really don't have much appetite right now. I'll eat it later."
"It will get cold soon, good child. Auntie will talk to you, so please eat something." Aunt Xiao sat at the table and looked at Xiaoyanzi seriously, as if she would not leave unless she ate.
Xiaoyanzi could only sit down. Even if there was someone to talk to her, she couldn't calm down and was always thinking about random things.
