When we were almost at the main courtyard, a young lady in a crimson dress came towards us on the corridor. The hairpin on her head looked very familiar.
"Who are you?"
Song Shuyi saw in front of him a young man with a fair and rosy complexion but a very thin body. It was not difficult to guess that he was the young master of the mansion.
But it definitely wouldn't be his brother.
"Hello, Second Young Master. I'm Song Shuyi, and I'm here to pay my respects to the princess."
She is Song Shuyi, the eldest brother’s half-sister!
Su Ningjie looked at her carefully and found that she did look a bit like his elder brother.
"Since you are here to pay your respects to my mother, let's go in together."
The two of them went into the main hall together to pay their respects, and Xiao Lingyu was slightly surprised.
"Why did you come here together?"
"We met outside and came in together."
Xiao Lingyu looked at Song Shuyi and said gently, "This is An Ge'er's second brother. He just came back from Xirong. If you want to know more about your brother, you can ask him."
Song Shuyi nodded slightly: "Yes, Princess."
"Brother Jie, come closer to mother."
Su Ningjie walked over and moved his little face closer for his mother to take a closer look.
"It's true that the local climate and soil nourish people. After this night, the little face is rosy."
"Don't worry, mother. I will never touch raw or cold food again. Where are father and third brother?"
"Dad took Master Qi and Master Miao to various counties to plant rare food ingredients. Third brother just finished the provincial examination yesterday and was taken back to the Meng Mansion by Uncle Lu..."
"Master? Where did this master come from? What happened at home during the time my elder brother and I were away? Did Daddy find a child who could be Dongjun's golden thigh?"
The series of questions caught Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Xier off guard.
"Come, sit down first. After breakfast, I'll tell you everything slowly."
Song Shuyi was very tactful. Knowing that the mother and her two children wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk, she returned to Jianjia Garden after breakfast.
After the mother and her two children returned to the inner room, Su Ningjie couldn't wait to ask, "Sister, tell me quickly, how can I get the upper hand over Dongjun's golden thigh?"
"Daddy is Xiaojiu's nephew, and Xiaojiu is the Ninth Prince of Dongjun!"
"What?!"
Su Ningjie was stunned. "Is this true? Are the generations wrong? Xiaojiu is Daddy's eldest nephew!"
"That's right, Daddy is the grandson of the old Emperor Dongjun, Xiaojiu's nephew, and Uncle Yunxiao's eldest cousin!"
Su Ningjie opened his mouth and looked at Xiao Lingyu in disbelief. "Mother, is what she said true?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded firmly: "It's true. As soon as you went to Xirong, your father was abducted to Dongjun by the old Emperor of Dongjun..."
After hearing what Xiao Lingyu said, Su Ningjie was so shocked that he couldn't find his voice. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He chuckled and said, "Sister, mother is a princess, father is a prince, eldest brother is the Prince of Fu, and third brother will be a first-rank official in the future. I will be a wealthy man in the four countries in the future. You can walk sideways and no one will dare to bully you."
Xiao Xier pursed her lips and said, "I will be the queen in the future, so naturally no one will bully me!"
Xiao Lingyu: Wrong, you are the empress!
"What? Queen, is that what Your Majesty meant?"
"Yes! You can understand it that way."
Su Ningjie opened his mouth in shock again, "Are you from the Nankun royal family?"
Xiao Xier smiled and nodded, "That's right, after Xiaowu is born, I will return to Nankun to recognize my ancestors. Then we can go to Nankun together! Okay?"
"Okay! But have you found out who murdered you? If the murderer is not found, you won't be able to be a queen in peace!"
"Are you concerned about me, second brother?"
"Of course! I'm your second brother. We won't be at peace until the murderer is found, right, mother?"
Xiao Lingyu said, "Yes, that's right. We will go to Nankun together and carefully protect your sister. We will first recognize our ancestors and then find the real culprit behind the scenes!"
Su Ningjie couldn't help but frown. The trip to Nankun might not be so smooth, so he had to bring his strong brother with him.
"Okay, Brother Jie, you just came back yesterday, so go back and rest. Take care of your stomach in the next two days. Otherwise, you won't be able to attend Brother Wen's birthday party."
How can this be possible!
Su Ningjie hurried back to Canglangyuan.
"Mother, Daddy hasn't come back yet."
"They should be on their way back."
＊
"Brother Yuan? Do you think he's the one?"
Lu Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Su Xingyi and other officials resting under a big willow tree. Not far away, Dongfang Yinzhang was sitting by the river fishing with his side facing Lu Yuan.
I only saw that he was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face.
Lu Yuan couldn't believe that the whereabouts of the Oriental Seal was discovered so easily. Su Xingyi was surrounded by officials and several personal guards.
"There are many people wearing masks, it may not be him. Don't keep staring at that place, otherwise you will be easily exposed."
"yes!"
At this time, Lu Yuan and others were dressed like peddlers, eating big meat buns and grilled fish.
Qi Lianli was worried about Lu Yuan and others, so he whispered a few words to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu took a few officers to interrogate Lu Yuan and others.
"Who are you?"
"We are traveling merchants. We just bought goods from Huayang County and are going to Fengyang County, Lin County, Anyang County..." Lu Yuan answered in a serious tone.
Lin Yu looked at Lu Yuan and felt that he looked familiar. "Have I seen you somewhere before?"
Lu Yuan's heart tightened. He had met him last time on that country road. "Sir, we often go to Huayang County to purchase goods. Sometimes we run into you guys while you're working on a case. It's possible we've met before."
