Only then did Xiao Lingyu notice that the person coming was the young man in the carriage yesterday.
"Xiaojiu, who is he? Do you recognize him?"
Shangguan Jinnian looked at Shangguan Yunxiao and shook his head, "Mother, I don't know him. Send him away quickly. He's here to arrest me."
Shangguan Yunxiao's heart sank. Could it be that the Ninth Prince had lost his memory due to the shock?
"Uncle Jiu, I'm your beloved nephew Yunxiao. Look at me now. Do you really not remember me?"
Shangguan Jinnian looked at Shangguan Yunxiao again, and a vague image flashed through his mind.
"I don't remember you. Go away! I only have my father, mother, brothers, sisters, and you're so tall, you should be my uncle. How can you be my nephew? Don't try to trick a little kid like me..."
Yan Xiaosi rushed over and said hurriedly, "Master Jiu, we are not lying to you. You are my young master's uncle. When the young master saw that you were missing, he was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep. He is also injured and hasn't closed his eyes yet."
Yan Xiaosi said as he tried to step forward and hold Shangguan Jinnian's hand, "Master Jiu, please come back with us."
Shangguan Jinnian slapped Yan Xiaosi's hand away and hid behind Xiao Lingyu. "Go away! I don't want to go with you. I don't know you. Don't even think about taking me away."
"Cough cough cough..." Shangguan Yunxiao covered his chest and started coughing.
"Master, don't be anxious. There's no need to be anxious. Jiu Ye just can't remember who we are. When he remembers, he will go with us."
Xiao Lingyu was a little surprised to see this, as the man didn't look injured at all.
His face was pale, sweat was breaking out on his forehead, and his physical weakness did not seem fake, but rather very serious.
"Xiaojiu, take a closer look. It seems they are not lying. He should be your eldest nephew."
Shangguan Jinnian shook his head. "Daddy and Mommy, he's my eldest nephew. Why don't you recognize him? Or maybe Mommy and Daddy don't want me anymore and want to give me away... wuwuwu..."
Shangguan Jinnian suddenly burst into tears, "Mother, please don't abandon me, don't send me away, I will be good and obedient..."
Xiao Lingyu quickly coaxed her, "Xiaojiu, be good and don't cry. You're cute and sensible, how could your mother give you away? Go back to the yard first and let your mother chase him away, okay?"
Shangguan Jinnian stopped crying and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Mother and go back to the yard."
"Ang'er, quickly take your brothers and sisters back to the yard."
“Cough cough cough…”
When Shangguan Yunxiao saw Shangguan Jinnian enter the yard, he suddenly started coughing violently.
"Master, your wound has split open..."
Shangguan Jinnian paused for a moment, and looked back at Shangguan Yunxiao. She saw that the clothes on his abdomen were stained red, and his brows frowned slightly.
"Mother, this man is seriously ill, yet he came here to snatch me away. He is a fool."
Xiao Lingyu pursed her lips and said, "Xiaojiu, mother is the doctor. I will check him to see if he is a fool."
Shangguan Yunxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Even if the Ninth Prince didn't remember him, he still cared about him.
Xiao Lingyu walked over to check his pulse, but was stopped by Su Xingyi, "Xiaoyu, wait a moment."
Su Xingyi was not mistaken. This man was very skilled in martial arts. If he had not reacted in time, Xiaojiu would have been snatched away by him.
"My dear little brother, you said you are my Xiaojiu's nephew. What evidence do you have to prove it?"
Feng Jinyu received the news and came to the gate of the courtyard. He glanced at Shangguan Yunxiao for a few times, frowning and thinking. It seemed like he had seen this person somewhere before...
Shangguan Yunxiao stopped coughing and said, "My Uncle Nine has a crescent-shaped birthmark on his back, three fingers below his right shoulder. You can check it out. I'm not lying. He is indeed my Uncle Nine."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Okay, I'll go check it out."
Su Xingyi hurriedly said, "No need. I saw it last night when I was bathing Xiaojiu. There is indeed a crescent-shaped birthmark under the right shoulder."
Yan Xiaosi said respectfully, "Thank you, Master and Madam, for taking my Ninth Master in. I wonder if we can take him away?"
Xiao Lingyu said, "You can see that Xiaojiu doesn't recognize you now, so he can't go with you yet."
It is unclear whether the person in front of him is good or bad. Xiaojiu is so resistant to him. What if he is the one who persecutes Xiaojiu?
She had no choice but to do so.
Xiao Lingyu examined him and said after a moment, "The most important thing for you now is to rest. Don't use your internal energy anymore, otherwise even the gods won't be able to save you."
Yan Xiaosi was anxious because his master was the crown prince. If something happened to him in Beiyi, none of the nine clans of his Yan family could afford the compensation.
"Master, I'll take you back to apply medicine first. Once you've recovered, we'll come back to see Master Jiu, okay?"
Shangguan Yunxiao asked, "Madam, what's going on with Uncle Jiu now? How come he doesn't remember us?"
Xiao Lingyu said, "Xiaojiu fainted from a high fever caused by shock, and this is what he looked like after waking up... But don't worry, this won't last long. He'll go with you when he remembers."
I see.
No wonder Xiaojiu didn’t recognize him. He must have been extremely scared that night.
"Thank you for taking in my Xiaojiu."
Su Xingyi said, "Xiaojiu and I get along very well. He calls me daddy, so naturally I have to treat him well. You should go back and take care of your health. No one will bully Xiaojiu here."
Shangguan Yunxiao glanced around the courtyard and realized that he really couldn't take him away today. "Then I'll trouble you two."
After watching the two walk away, Su Xingyi instructed, "Xingyun, Xingying, I will not be staying here tonight. You two must be on high alert, especially Xiaojiu. Do you understand?"
"Master Su, don't worry, we will definitely protect the madam and the young masters."
"Mother, have you driven them away?"
Xiao Lingyu reached out and touched Shangguan Jinnian's head. "They've already left. Don't worry, they won't dare to take you away."
Shangguan Jinnian thought of the red mark on Shangguan Yunxiao's abdomen. "He's coughing so hard, will he die?"
Xiao Lingyu pursed his lips when he heard that. Perhaps it was because of their blood relationship. Even though he didn't remember, he still cared about her instinctively.
"Don't worry, he won't die. He'll be fine if he rests well."
Xiao Lingyu comforted her with a few more words, then returned to the main house study to start painting.
Su Xingyi took his eldest son into the kitchen and prepared dinner in advance.
Feng Jinyu paced around the room with his hands behind his back and a frown on his face.
"Your Highness, what's wrong? What's bothering you?" Xu Mo asked with concern.
Feng Jinyu, "I think I've seen the master and servant at the door before somewhere before, but I can't remember where."
Xu Mo thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, could that man be related to the dozen lives lost yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Jinyu quickly took out the eunuch's portrait and took a look at it.
After a long while, Feng Jinyu smiled and said, "I know who this person is."
"Your Majesty, who is it?"
"Shangguan Yunxiao, the crown prince of the Dongjun royal family."
Xu Mo was surprised and said, "Then Xiaojiu is not the Ninth Prince, the late son of the old Emperor Dongjun?"
"That's right."
Feng Jinyu never expected that Su Xingyi would have such great luck and actually saved the Ninth Prince, the most favored one in Dongjun.
Su Xingyi will definitely achieve something great in the future, and Xiaoyu will not suffer if she follows her.
Feng Jinyu was completely relieved at this moment.
