Chapter 23 Cousin Bai Miao

"Okay, then consider this money as a loan from you. I will pay you back as soon as I have money." Although Song Yuning was a little hesitant, he finally made up his mind and said.

She was well aware of her humble status and had never thought of having any emotional involvement with Xiao Yunzhan. After all, Xiao Yunzhan was a prince and had an extremely noble status.

Even if it was an unfavored prince, it was definitely not something she, a concubine's daughter of a third-rank official, could marry. Moreover, she didn't want to be a concubine at all.

She flattered Xiao Yunzhan only because she wanted to be free from the constraints of the Song family in the future, choose a husband that she was satisfied with, and live a peaceful life.

Therefore, Song Yuning was not sure whether Xiao Yunzhan would be reliable in the future.

However, the tangible benefits in front of her made her very excited. Instead of pinning her hopes on an unknown future, it would be more practical to seize the benefits that can be obtained in front of her.

Seeing Song Yuning nodded in agreement, Xiao Yunzhan was quite happy.

"Your situation in the Song family must be very difficult, and I'm afraid it's difficult to gain much benefit from it. With some money as a support, your life will be more comfortable."

Having grown up in the palace, he knew only too well the tragic fate of those without power and influence. But fortunately, he was still a prince, so even if he was treated coldly, no one dared to bully him excessively.

However, Song Yuning was different. She was just a concubine's daughter with no background.

Now, Xiao Yunzhan can't even take care of himself, let alone provide Song Yuning with any substantial assistance.

Therefore, the only thing he could do was to try his best to provide more support in terms of material. With these shops and land, he could ensure that Song Yuning could live a good life.

Even if someone in the Song family makes things difficult for her, she can still live a good life with these.

Song Yuning had never expected Xiao Yunzhan to be so considerate of her, and she couldn't help feeling a little touched.

"We are friends who have risked our lives for each other, so I won't thank you." Song Yuning said with a smile.

Xiao Yunzhan nodded and responded, "There's no need to be polite between you and me."

At this moment, Xiao Yunzhan and Song Yuning suddenly heard a noise. They turned their heads and saw a pretty girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, staring at them in surprise.

"Cousin? Why are you here? Who is this?"

Song Yuning looked at Xiao Yunzhan, then glanced at the girl, then silently took a few steps back and said softly, "Then I won't bother you any more. I'll take my leave first."

Seeing Song Yuning was about to leave, Xiao Yunzhan hurriedly explained, "It's okay, this is my cousin."

"Miaomiao, this is my savior, I told you."

Bai Miao said "oh", then looked at Song Yuning with interest. Her bright big eyes looked Song Yuning up and down, as if she wanted to see through him.

Then, Bai Miao walked lightly to Song Yuning, extended her hand, and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Bai Miao, and I am cousin Che's cousin.

Actually, I had heard of you from my cousin a long time ago. He always mentioned you and said that you were his savior.

He also told me that if I ever get the chance to see you again, I'll definitely take good care of you. So, if you need any help, just let me know!

"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to meet you, but unfortunately there's never been a suitable opportunity. I didn't expect to meet you here today. What a coincidence! Sister, you're so beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth!"

Bai Miao looked at Song Yuning's face, which was as delicate and smooth as white jade, and an impulse surged in his heart. He couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her cheek.

Song Yuning was completely stunned by the scene before her eyes. She stared at Bai Miao with wide eyes, not knowing how to react for a moment. In desperation, she could only look to Xiao Yunzhan for help.

Xiao Yunzhan knew his cousin's personality very well. He knew that his cousin was most likely to be infatuated with women. She would like them, no matter if they were good-looking or not.

Seeing Bai Miao kneading Song Yuning's face non-stop, Xiao Yunzhan hurriedly stepped forward, slapped Bai Miao's hand, and said, "Be gentle, you've pinched her face red!"

Bai Miao pouted unhappily, but then she took Song Yuning's hand and said with a smile, "When I came over just now, I saw my second cousin was looking for you everywhere. You should hurry over. I want to chat with your savior."

Hearing this, Xiao Yunzhan frowned slightly, then turned to look at Song Yuning and said, "Then I'll go over first. After I prepare the things I need, I'll ask Bai Miao to arrange for someone to send them to you."

After explaining the matter to Song Yuning, Xiao Yunzhan glared at Bai Miao again and warned: "You are not allowed to bully her!"

Bai Miao rolled her eyes to the sky: "I know, I know. Let's go now, stop talking so much." Her tone was full of impatience and disgust, but there was actually no malice in it.

Song Yuning couldn't help but laugh secretly, thinking that the interaction between the two was really interesting. The relationship between them was so close that it was even better than that between siblings.

When they tease and bicker with each other, they show no mercy to each other.

"Are you Song Yuning? General Huaiyuan's daughter?" Bai Miao suddenly asked. Song Yuning nodded slightly in agreement. She looked at Bai Miao curiously, wondering about his identity.

Bai Miao seemed to see through Song Yuning's thoughts and took the initiative to introduce himself: "I am from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion."

Song Yuning was surprised when she heard this. She turned her head, stared at Bai Miao, and asked softly, "Duke Dingguo's Mansion? Isn't that the residence of Concubine Yun in the palace..."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Miao exclaimed, "Oh!" She interrupted Song Yuning and continued, "Cousin Che, didn't he tell you his identity?"

Song Yuning's expression instantly became extremely surprised. She stared at Bai Miao with wide eyes and shook her head in disbelief: "I never said that. I accidentally saved him at the beginning, but I didn't expect that he would be the prince."

She deliberately exaggerated her surprise, as if she was completely shocked by the news.

Bai Miao said: "I thought you knew, but it doesn't matter, you will know sooner or later anyway."

Song Yuning nodded blankly.

"I heard that you have four sisters, right? I've heard from my family that you five are famous. Could you introduce them to me later?" Bai Miao asked with bright eyes.

I heard that the five daughters of the Song family are all very beautiful. Bai Miao has long wanted to see their beauty. Now that he can meet them, he naturally wants to see them.

It would be even better if I could touch it a few more times.
