"Xu Mo, did you see clearly? It was really An Ge'er who broke that man's arm?"
"Your Highness, when Yuanliang and I rushed over, the trafficker was being squeezed by the eldest master and screamed. It was indeed he who broke his leg. The other two were kicked out by Master Su. Master Su is quite skilled."
Feng Jinyu frowned and thought for a while. Su Xingyi was just an ordinary citizen, how could he have martial arts skills?
Is there a master living in Guihua Village?
"I understand. You guys go down and rest."
Xu Mo hesitated for a moment, "Your Highness, Master Su and the eldest son are enough to protect the princess. Do we still need to arrange secret guards?"
"There are three other children who need protection."
His prince has learned from the princess and protects all children who are not his own.
The next day was just dawn.
Su Xingyi and Su Ningan opened their eyes at the same time and slipped into the kitchen.
"Dad, I'll make some big scallion egg pancakes for Xiaojiu and the others so they can eat them on the way."
"good."
Suningan didn't control the strength when pouring flour, and poured a whole basin of flour, making thirty large scallion egg pancakes at one time.
He ate ten pancakes while making them, and said, "Dad, I'll just have some soup for breakfast."
Su Xingyi looked up at the chopped green onion stuck to the corner of his lips and said, "Just be as you please. Just don't let yourself go hungry."
Half an hour later, the father and son made Yangchun noodles, crystal dumplings, wontons, a basket of pork buns, millet porridge, goat milk soup, tomato egg soup, and two side dishes. It was quite rich and took everyone's preferences into consideration.
Su Ning'an brought Shangguan Jin's favorite wontons, goat milk soup, half a scallion egg pancake, and two side dishes onto a plate and brought them into the room.
"Xiaojiu, hurry up and wash up, your favorite wontons are here."
Shangguan Jinnian opened his eyes and saw the steaming wontons on the table. He was touched and said, "Thank you, fat brother."
"Hey, don't thank me, we are brothers. When you return to Linyang City, just don't forget us."
After Shangguan Jinnian got dressed and washed, Su Ningwen came into the room carrying a large plate of crystal dumplings and a large bowl of Yangchun noodles, and handed the Yangchun noodles to Su Ningan.
"Brother Xiaojiu, Big Brother, let's have breakfast together..."
Xiao Lingyu brought Xiao Xier to the yard, glanced at the three brothers in the east wing, and couldn't help pursing his lips.
I wonder what Wen Ge'er and An Ge'er would think if they knew Shangguan Jinnian's identity in the future.
The one who is on par with them as brothers is Dongjun’s most favored Ninth Prince.
Perhaps this is an opportunity for the two brothers.
"Mother, shall we go to the east wing and have dinner with them?"
"good."
During the meal, Xiao Xier asked, "Brother Xiao Jiu, when will you come to Xishui County again?"
"Sister Xier, I think you will come to see me soon. When I do, I will bring you many gifts and make sure that every one of you will like them."
"It's good enough that you just come over. You don't need too many gifts." Su Ning'an said casually, "Just bring gifts for mother and sister."
Shangguan Jinnian responded with an "OK", but in his heart he was thinking that if he wanted to give gifts, he would have to bring at least a large cart of gifts.
After all, he is the Ninth Prince of Dongjun, so the gifts he gives cannot be shabby.
Shangguan Jinnian looked at Xiao Lingyu and said, "Aunt, thank you for taking care of those twenty birthday cakes at the beginning of the year."
Xiao Lingyu, "I promise that on your father's birthday, his family will enjoy a delicious cake."
Xiao Lingyu had already made up his mind. At that time, he would take people to Linyang City to find a temporary workshop to make cakes. This would save a lot of journey. In the cold winter, with the help of an ice bucket, the old Emperor Dongjun would definitely be able to enjoy a birthday cake with a good taste.
"Xiaojiu, the cake shouldn't be shaken. It will become deformed if it's touched a little."
"Aunt, you don't have to worry about this. My servants have always been cautious in their work... It's just a little regrettable. If you go to the mansion in person, these problems will not be a problem."
Xiao Lingyu said, "When the pastry shop in Linyang City opens, our family will go to visit your mansion..."
Shangguan Jinnian lowered his eyes when he heard this. The Su family didn't know the identities of the uncle and nephew yet, so they wouldn't be able to see them if they went to Linyang City.
It seems necessary to secretly set up a mansion in Linyang City.
He really wanted to be friends with the Su family in an ordinary capacity.
During the short few days they spent together, the Su family gave him a feeling of friendly and heartwarming friendship, without any trace of profit.
After breakfast, the uncle and nephew left Xishui County under the watchful eyes of the Su family.
Shangguan Jinnian returned to the carriage only after he couldn't see the Su family members.
"Nephew Yunxiao, let's come to Xishui County after our father's birthday."
Shangguan Yunxiao shook his head. "It's a bit difficult. If the Emperor knows that we nearly died after sneaking into Beiyi, then every move we make will be under his scrutiny."
Shangguan Yunxiao suddenly started to act pitiful, "Ninth Uncle, this time you have to help me plead with the Crown Prince, otherwise Yunxiao's butt or knees will be gone..."
Seeing him crying and snotting, Shangguan Jinnian couldn't help but frown, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
"Nephew Yunxiao, you are the crown prince. Don't lose your composure."
Shangguan Yunxiao tugged at Shangguan Jinnian's arm and shook him, "Your life is almost gone, how can you care about your manners? If you don't beg for mercy, I won't have the chance to bring you to Xishui County again, and you won't be able to see the Su family... And I won't tell the emperor that you found a father outside..."
Shangguan Jinnian's heart tightened. He truly couldn't let his father know about this. "Alright, alright. With me here, your butt and knees will be safe."
Shangguan Jinnian changed the subject, his eyes stern as he spoke, "We can't give Prince Li and Prince Su any chance this time. If they disregard our blood ties, don't blame us for being ruthless. The evidence we've collected should be handed over to our father."
If it weren't for the Su family's extraordinary skills, the Su family would have lost their lives because of him.
Seeing Shangguan Jinnian become serious, Shangguan Yunxiao also became serious.
"I've arranged for Duan Fei to conduct a secret investigation. Evidence will soon be found for these two assassinations. Considering their previous 'good deeds', it's unlikely they'll survive this time. However, the Emperor's grandfather is old, so we'll let him celebrate his 70th birthday before punishing them."
Shangguan Jinnian nodded: "We must be cautious on this return trip. Your life is of paramount importance."
Shangguan Yunxiao is his favorite nephew. If the prince cannot survive his father, then the throne will only belong to nephew Yunxiao!
"Hahaha……"
Shangguan Jinnian couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
"Ninth Uncle, what are you laughing at?"
"Ah, nothing, I just miss your father, my brother the Crown Prince... By the way, I'll spare you some physical pain this time, but you have to protect me when I act tyrannically in the future."
Shangguan Yunxiao smiled and said, "Ninth Uncle, I'm going to arrange martial arts training when I return this time. This will also make it easier for you to 'dominate' in the future."
