"Mother!"
Xiao Xi'er happily threw herself into Xiao Lingyu's arms, "...I knew mother would come looking for me."
Seeing that Xiao Xi'er's face was fair and clean, with no signs of injury or abuse on her body, Xiao Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, don't be afraid, mother is here to take you home."
"Mom, I can't go back yet. They said..." Xiao Xier didn't know how to start.
"Madam, Xiao Xi'er is our little master."
Xiao Lingyu looked up and saw Tai Zhuo getting off the carriage.
It’s really him!
He was not deceived in Wuling County. He is really cunning.
"My name is Tai Zhuo. We have been searching for the young master for a long time. As luck would have it, we ran into him outside of Huayang County. Since the mistress of the mansion is critically ill, we took the young master back home. We apologize for not informing the madam in time."
"Stop talking nonsense. What's your little master? This is clearly my biological daughter."
Wouldn't it be like letting Xiao Xier go back to Nankun like walking into a tiger's mouth?
"Madam, the young master is indeed my young master. I will not make a mistake. Her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to my master and eldest daughter. Her face shape, nose and mouth are like my mistress. She also smells like my eldest daughter."
"Someone, come! Tie them up and take them back to Huayang County!"
Xiao Lingyu was too lazy to waste words with him.
They've been given a chance.
Now that they have come to my door, I naturally cannot let them go lightly!
Tai Zhuo said anxiously, "Young Master, everything I said is true. Your mother was injured during her ten months of pregnancy giving birth to you. When she learned that you were still alive, she looked forward to seeing you and thought about you every day. Now that she is seriously ill, her greatest wish is to see you in her lifetime. Your biological mother loves you very much."
Now Beiyi is about to send an envoy to Nankun. It must be the work of the Princess Protector of the Country!
We can only bring the person back to Nankun first, take it step by step, and also get rid of the little prince.
Xiao Xier was really worried that the mistress Tai Zhuo was talking about was her biological mother.
"Mother, don't do anything yet."
Xiao Lingyu had to keep it a secret from her for the time being no matter what.
Now is not the time for her to return to her roots.
"Xiao Xi'er, don't listen to his nonsense. You are your father's biological daughter."
Xiao Xier tilted her head to look at Su Ningan, "Big brother, tell me."
"You and I are siblings, both daddy's children."
Even if my mother doesn't recognize me, she has her own reasons.
If you want to recognize your relatives, why don’t you go to their home to recognize them?
He actually pretended to be Lei Xiao and kidnapped his sister. How could a good person do this?
They must not be good people!
Xiao Xi'er still felt a little uneasy when she heard this, "...then let them do it."
"Young Master! Your biological mother..."
Xiao Xier quickly covered her ears, stepped onto the horse stool and hid in the carriage.
I don't want to listen to him anymore.
Her biological mother had to leave her father due to difficult circumstances, and she must still be alive and healthy.
Tai Zhuo and others did not engage in a head-on confrontation, but surrendered their weapons on their own initiative.
How could he have the face to go back to see the young prince if he didn't bring the young master back?
"Madam, every word I said is true. The young master's mother is seriously ill now. Can you really bear not to let them meet?"
Xiao Lingyu's eyes darkened. Is Xiao Xier's biological mother really seriously ill?
Or is this their excuse to trick Xiao Xier into going back?
"Lin Yu, keep an eye on them, take them back to Huayang County, and throw them all into jail."
"yes!"
Xiao Lingyu turned around and saw the Baili brothers and sisters waiting not far away to watch the fun.
“Aunt…”
Su Ning'an stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically, but Xiao Lingyu quickly pulled him back, "Brother An, what did mother say to you in the carriage just now?"
“…Don’t talk to strangers.”
Su Ning'an hurriedly pulled Xiao Lingyu onto the carriage, while stealing glances at Baili Qingluan out of the corner of his eyes.
Baili Xuanlang watched them walk away before saying, "Eldest sister, that little chubby boy looks a bit like you, and he's also very strong. He must be my nephew!"
"It's still not certain whether he can eat it or not?"
"My nephew can definitely eat it. Look at his chubby little face!" Baili Xuanlang couldn't help but chuckle, "I really want to pinch it."
Baili Qingluan wouldn't jump to conclusions without sufficient evidence. "He's fat, which means the food at the Princess's Mansion is good, but it doesn't mean he's a big eater. We have to see it for ourselves... It's getting late, they'll stop for dinner soon, let's go and take a look."
When Lei Xiao saw the brother and sister following behind, his back instantly tensed up and he squeezed the horse's belly as he walked to the carriage.
"Master, the brother and sister are here too."
Upon hearing this, Su Ning'an felt inexplicably happy.
Xiao Lingyu pressed his temples and said, "Find an intersection up ahead to get on the official road and try to get rid of them."
Lei Xiao nodded and arranged for Zhang Tao to go ahead and explore the way.
Then guards with high combat power were arranged to guard both sides of the carriage.
"Mother, do the siblings that Lei Xiao mentioned have an aunt wearing a mask?"
"Yes, sister. I heard from my aunt that she invited you to lunch?"
Xiao Xier: "...I got off the car and was about to run away. As I was running, I smelled the aroma of meat, so I went over. My stomach was rumbling at the time, so I didn't think about trying to get some meat. It was Auntie who took the initiative to bring me a chicken drumstick and lured me over."
Xiao Lingyu: "Xiao Xi'er, luckily she's not a bad person. This chicken leg isn't drugged. If she were, you'd faint after eating it, and who knows where she'd sell you when you wake up. Beiyi is a big place, and it would be hard for your brother and I to find you. You might get beaten, starved, or even have to wash clothes and cook..."
"Mom, please stop talking... I know I was wrong." Xiao Xier was frightened when she heard this. "I promise not to talk to strangers or eat their chicken legs in the future."
"Sister, you are not stupid enough to tell strangers your family name and surname. Be careful that bad guys may kidnap you from home again."
Xiao Xier: ...
She actually took the initiative to tell her aunt her name.
"Are the aunt and the others following here planning to steal me away?"
Suningan: Maybe he came to steal from me.
"Don't worry, with Big Brother here, they don't have the guts."
"Brother An." Xiao Lingyu recalled the woman taking off the mask behind her back. "Have you seen your aunt's true face? Is she pretty?"
Su Ningan blurted out: "It looks good!"
"Big brother, my aunt was wearing half a mask, how did you see her true face?"
"Auntie wants to watch me boxing, and she can't just watch for free. In exchange, she is willing to show me her true appearance! And Auntie is also very strong. She can lift me up with one hand."
Xiao Xier opened her eyes wide with curiosity and gossip, "Really? How strong is it?"
"Auntie... cooing..."
"It's not even dinner time yet, and you're hungry?"
Su Ning'an: "Mom, I remember now, we haven't had lunch yet."
Then let’s have lunch and dinner together!
"parking!"
"Eldest sister, it seems they stopped to make a fire and cook."
Baili Qingluan's face lit up with joy. "We'll soon find out whether the child can eat it or not. Go give them the half wild boar meat and tell them that Xiao Xi'er wanted to treat us to a meal. We'll provide the ingredients."
