Helian Jue remained silent. Ultimately, it was the Helian family that owed the Empress Dowager a debt, and he also bore the surname Helian—this was an unchangeable fact.

Su Sang turned her head and saw her nephew's expression, and knew that the child had misunderstood again. "I understand, although you are surnamed Helian, you are also a member of the Su family."

“Initially, your elder sister wanted you to share her surname, Su, but Helian Cheng promised you from the moment you were born that you were the only candidate for the crown prince of the empire, and in the end, your mother compromised.”

When talking about what happened back then, Su Sang was filled with regret. The Su family had been using all their resources to find Su Shu, but to no avail.

They refused to believe that Su Shu had really had an accident, firmly believing that she was just missing.

The top spot on the StarNet Bounty List is occupied by a missing person notice for Su Shu. The Su family will offer a reward of one billion interstellar coins for anyone who can provide useful clues.

"Uncle, Mother, she..." Helian Jue wanted to tell Su Sang that he had seen his mother, even if it was just a fantasy.

Since the mother was able to leave behind her fantasies in advance and knew about Youyou, it means that everything he is experiencing now is within the mother's plan.

But this matter was so bizarre that he wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

Lost in her memories, Su Sang paused for two seconds before asking, "What do you think happened to my sister?"

Helian Jue pursed his lips and shook his head.

"Let's go, breakfast is probably all prepared." Su Sang and Helian Jue walked side by side towards the main courtyard.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Qingyuan Courtyard, Helian Jue went inside to hug Xiaoyu.

Qiao You was already awake, wagging its tail and frolicking on the bed, making a mess of the blankets and pillows.

"Brother!" Qiao You exclaimed, "This blanket is so light and soft!"

Helian Jue picked Xiaoyu up from the bed. "Time for breakfast."

"Get up."

Xiao Yu's long, silver-blue hair was also messy. Helian Jue helped Qiao You change his clothes, made him sit down, and combed his hair.

Qiao You covered her head and said ingratiatingly, "Brother, Grandma said she'll braid a lot of little braids for me today."

The meaning is clear: there's no need for Helian Jue to comb your hair.

“Baby.” Helian Jue looked at Qiao You with a hint of grievance.

Qiao You's eyes darted around, avoiding Helian Jue's gaze. "Brother, will you always do my hair from now on..."

"Alright!" Helian Jue accepted the offer.

Qiao You excitedly kissed Helian Jue's chin, "Brother is the best~"

He held the person tightly and rolled around in his arms, making Helian Jue's white shirt all wrinkled, especially the chest area.

Helian Jue indulged people without restraint, and everything was done willingly.

When the two arrived at the main dining hall, everyone was there except for them.

"Youyou, come here quickly." Lan Ruozhi had just finished braiding Su Xia's hair, and Su Xia was admiring herself in the mirror.

Qiao You shook Helian Jue's arm and quickly hugged him over.

"Xiaxia, you're so pretty!" Qiao You exclaimed loudly. "Grandma, you're amazing!"

Helian Jue put Qiao You down, sat down to the side, and didn't move.

Lan Ruozhi combed Qiao You's long, silver-blue hair and began to braid it. She also added a colorful ribbon to the middle of the hair to add more color.

Helian Jue sat calmly to the side, seemingly indifferent, but in reality, his mind was racing, memorizing all of his grandmother's techniques.

Lan Ruozhi was skilled; she could braid hair quickly and beautifully.

A few minutes later, Qiao You held a mirror in his hand and began to admire himself. Usually, He Lianjue would tie Xiao Yu's long and thick hair back with a hairband or simply braid it roughly.

This was the first time Qiao You had combed all her hair straight, revealing her small face completely. Helian Jue was taken aback by this sudden change.

"Brother, am I pretty?" Qiao You asked Helian Jue, turning towards his brother's direction.

But his brother ignored him!

"elder brother?"

Helian Jue then snapped out of his daze, met Qiao You's gaze, and smiled, "Beautiful!"

"The prettiest little fish."

Wow~ My brother praised him in front of so many people, *blushing*

Lan Ruozhi looked at her eldest grandson with a smile. Just now, when she was braiding her hair, Jue'er had been secretly learning from her.

"Let's eat," Su Wangqiu said cheerfully, making the arrangements as well.

Qiao You refused Lan Ruozhi's suggestion to carry him to the restaurant. He waved to Helian Jue and said, "Brother, take a picture of me."

"Pat your hair."

Helian Jue had already guessed what Xiaoyu was going to do, and took several photos of her.

Following Xiaoyu's instructions, I took the photos and even helped people post them on Xingwang.
