Chapter 318 Even if I have to tie you up, I have to tie you back
On the other side, everyone in the Xiao family also set out to find Xiaoyanzi.
In order to prevent Xiaoyanzi from returning to the capital and being missed again by everyone, after discussion, Aunt Xiao decided to stay in the city and continue to pay attention to and inquire about Xiaoyanzi's situation.
Aunt Xiao’s favorite place to go now is various teahouses, because they are well-informed and she can always catch a little bit of news about Xiaoyanzi from people’s conversations.
On this day, Aunt Xiao was wandering aimlessly on the street as usual, planning to find a crowded place to see if she could get any new news about Xiaoyanzi.
Unexpectedly, she saw Xinrong coming towards her. Aunt Xiao immediately recognized that this was the wife of the Fifth Prince.
Logically speaking, it would be most appropriate to ask her about Xiaoyanzi's situation, but because the lady-in-law did not meet them when they visited for the second time, Aunt Xiao did not dare to disturb them again for a while.
It was just a chance encounter on the street, and Aunt Xiao didn't think that the other person would still remember her. She turned around and planned to go to the teahouse or other places to ask people.
"Madam Xiao, please stay."
When Aunt Xiao heard Xinrong speak, she was a little dazed.
When she turned around, she saw Xinrong looking at her, not calling someone else.
Seeing her turn around, Xinrong smiled gently: "I didn't expect to run into you here. A few days ago, when I returned home, the servant said you had been here. Unfortunately, I was not there at the time. I wonder if Madam has any problems? Is there anything I can help with?"
Hearing this, Aunt Xiao smiled and shook her head, "It was rash to come again that day. Now everything is fine, so Fu Jin doesn't need to worry."
Hearing this, Xinrong smiled and nodded, "Madam, if you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask me."
Seeing Aunt Xiao nod, Xinrong suggested, "If Madam is free, why not come to my house and have a seat? We are all looking for Miss Xiao Yun, and I think we will have good news soon, so don't worry too much."
Hearing this, Aunt Xiao sighed, "Then I'm sorry to bother you, Madam Fu-jin."
Aunt Xiao also held on to a glimmer of hope and wanted to learn more about Xiaoyanzi from Xinrong.
Cai Lian, who was at the mansion, obviously didn't expect Xinrong to suddenly bring Aunt Xiao back.
The three of them met in the yard.
Cai Lian subconsciously wanted to hide, but in this small courtyard, how could she just avoid it?
Aunt Xiao was also shocked. She obviously didn't expect to meet Cai Lian here, but Aunt Xiao didn't show anything. Instead, she bowed her head politely after Xinrong introduced her, without any inappropriate behavior.
But Xinrong had already seen the reactions of the two.
Today she deliberately went to the street to meet Mrs. Xiao, and also deliberately brought her back. Sure enough, Cai Lian did not disappoint her, they really knew each other.
I'm afraid the origins are not shallow.
This Cai Lian has been following the Fifth Prince all the time and is also acquainted with the Xiao family. What is she trying to do? It is really hard to understand.
"Mrs. Xiao and I happened to meet on the street, so I invited her to come to my house for a short visit. Would Concubine Xianjin like to come along?"
"I won't bother you anymore."
Cai Lian hurried back to her own courtyard, and finally she calmed down. Did Xinrong discover something? This was too much of a coincidence. How could she invite Aunt Xiao home as a guest for no reason? It was simply unbelievable.
On the other side, Xinrong chatted with Aunt Xiao as if nothing had happened, and the topic naturally revolved around Xiaoyanzi.
"I wonder if Madam knows that before Sister Xiao Yun's true story was revealed, everyone called her Little Swallow."
Aunt Xiao nodded. They had all heard about this. Xiaoyanzi had a miserable life. No one even gave her a proper name.
With Xinrong's deliberate creation, she and Xiaoyanzi are simply a pair of sisters who get along very well.
"Sister Xiao Yun has a miserable life. It's all my fault."
As Xinrong spoke, she began to blame herself. Aunt Xiao could only shake her head and say, "Why would Fu Jin say that? It's just fate."
Their child had bad luck and was not loved by the emperor, so she could only be given the status of a concubine. How could they blame the concubine who was also given the opportunity to marry?
"I'm hoping the Fifth Prince can find her, but please don't get angry again. I've been so worried these past few days I can't even eat. She's not feeling well, and if anything happens to her, what will we do?"
After saying this, Xinrong burst into tears. She was so affectionate that even Aunt Xiao was a little confused as to why the two of them had such a good relationship.
However, Aunt Xiao was more concerned about another issue: "Not feeling well? Fu Jin, what do you mean by that?"
"She was seriously injured before and never fully recovered. Now she's been wandering around and sleeping outdoors, which is naturally bad for her health."
Aunt Xiao's eyes were red with anxiety. "Seriously injured? How could he be seriously injured?"
She knew that by asking this lady, she would be able to find out secrets unknown to outsiders.
Xinrong sighed and briefly talked about the incident where Xiaoyanzi pretended to be a princess.
"Although the Emperor showed mercy and didn't pursue the matter, being in prison was still tough. Perhaps she developed her illness during that time, but she was so carefree that she didn't notice it until she became ill."
Aunt Xiao covered her mouth in disbelief. They only knew that Xiaoyanzi had once pretended to be a princess, but the emperor showed mercy by only expelling her from the palace and did not punish her.
At that time, I was still grateful for the emperor's kindness, but I didn't expect that the hidden danger had already been laid.
For a moment, Aunt Xiao didn't know who to blame. Should she blame the emperor? It was a serious crime to defraud the emperor, and yet the emperor still showed mercy. This was already the highest tolerance.
Who asked Xiaoyanzi to impersonate that princess?
But if we blame Xiaoyanzi herself, she has already suffered so much, how can we blame her anymore?
After thinking about it, Aunt Xiao could only blame herself. If only she could have found Xiaoyanzi earlier.
Knowing that Xiaoyanzi had suffered so much, Aunt Xiao was determined to bring Xiaoyanzi back to Dali.
After a long while, Aunt Xiao finally spoke, "Fujin, I have an unreasonable request."
"Ma'am, if you have any questions, just tell me. I will definitely help if I can."
"Once we find Yun'er, we want to take her back to Dali. You've seen that she's not suitable for the capital. Regardless of whether Yun'er can be cured or not, we want to take her back. I hope Fu Jin can help persuade the Fifth Prince."
Finally hearing the words she wanted to hear the most, Xinrong wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Mrs. Xiao, I understand your feelings. I also hope that Xiao Yun can be fine, but I'm just afraid that she herself doesn't want to go back."
Aunt Xiao had already made up her mind, "Even if we have to tie her up, we will take her back."
Seeing Aunt Xiao's determination, Xinrong nodded, "Then I will help persuade the Fifth Prince. I just hope we can find her as soon as possible."
When Aunt Xiao thought about how frail Xiaoyanzi was still wandering outside, her heart ached like a needle. It was all their fault for coming too late.
