Xun Niannian lowered her eyes and looked at the beautiful girl who buried her head in her arms, and her heart softened.

His eyes unconsciously became softer.

"Yeah, does Sisi miss Third Sister?"

"Yes, Sisi misses her third sister every day!" Xun Sisi nodded her head frantically.

"Third sister, Daddy and Mommy said that we don't have to be beheaded and can go home. It was you who saved us! Third sister, you are so kind, thank you!"

Xun Sisi raised her little face and looked at Xun Nian Nian with adoring eyes.

Although she didn't quite understand the real meaning of not having to be beheaded.

She just knew.

She doesn't need to be beheaded anymore. She can continue to eat sweet sugar balls, fragrant cakes, and delicious braised fish and braised pork...

From now on, I no longer have to live in that dark room without any light, and I no longer have to sleep on rough and uncomfortable straw.

She can sleep in her own soft, comfortable big bed and continue to play on the swing!

All this was because the third sister saved them!

Listening to Xun Sisi's words of thanks, Xun Niannian's eyes narrowed into a thin line.

Little guy, you are quite sensible!

Xun Niannian touched Xun Sisi's head and was about to ask her where her parents were.

A surprised and excited voice came over.

"Nian Nian, you're here!"

Xun Niannian looked up and saw a middle-aged couple walking out of the inner room side by side.

The one on the left is a middle-aged man wearing a cyan casual suit. His skin is slightly dark, but his facial features are handsome and regular. It is not difficult to tell that he must have been a handsome man when he was young.

It’s just that I guess the job of Minister of Works has not been easy in recent years. In addition, he has been in prison for such a long time, and there is some fatigue and dejection between his brows that cannot be concealed.

He also looks older than his actual age.

The one on the right is a woman in her thirties, dressed rather simply but neatly and cleanly, which makes people feel good about her at first sight.

She had a happy smile on her face, and her overall mental state was much better than that day in prison.

These two people are Xun Nian Nian's father Xun Shenghong and her mother Zhao.

"Dad, Mom!"

Xun Niannian bowed to the two of them.

Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to help Xun Niannian up, but she held her hand tightly and refused to let go.

Her face was full of gratitude and heartache.

"Nian Nian, your father, I, and everyone in our Xun family were able to get out safely. It's all thanks to you!"

"Good boy, you have suffered these days!"

Xun Niannian shook her head, "As long as you are safe and sound, I won't be miserable."

"And you guys were able to come out safely. I didn't do anything, it was all thanks to Chen Lianhe."

When they heard Xun Niannian calling Chen Lianhe's name directly, both Xun Shangshu and his wife were stunned.

Zhao was the first to come back to her senses and coughed lightly, "Niannian, why did you call Prince He by his first name?"

Before Xun Niannian could reply, Xun Shangshu beside her suddenly snorted coldly: "Call him if you want, he's not here anyway!"

It is not difficult to hear from his tone that he is dissatisfied with the owner of this name.

Xun Niannian didn't expect that Xun Shenghong would have such an attitude towards Chen Lianhe, the prince's son-in-law, and a look of surprise flashed across her face.

But she soon understood.

Xun Shenghong is a very upright person. He is also a person who can distinguish right from wrong and cannot tolerate any flaws.

Although it is true that Chen Lianhe is a prince, he is also the governor-general of the three divisions.

In this case of embezzlement of river repair funds, Xun Shenghong is innocent and he did not embezzle a single cent!

However, not only was he thrown into jail, but his entire family was almost beheaded!

As the governor-general of the three divisions, Chen Lianhe has an unshirkable responsibility!

After this incident, it would be strange if he would have a good attitude towards Chen Lianhe!

After hearing Xun Shenghong's words, Zhao felt embarrassed for a moment.

She nudged her husband with her elbow and said, "Master, what are you talking about? King He is a prince and has a noble status. How can you just call him by his name casually?"

"He's not here right now. What if he hears it and blames Nian Nian and ignores her?"

Zhao's words made Xun Shenghong frown, and then he straightened his neck.

"If you want to blame me, then blame me. If you want to ignore me, then ignore me!

If a man is blamed for neglecting my Nian Nian just because of a name, there is nothing good about such a man! "

He raised his eyes and looked at Xun Niannian: "My daughter, if he treats you badly, just tell daddy. Even if daddy has to sacrifice his old bones, he will take you back to Xun Mansion!"

"Even if he is a prince, what does it matter? If he is not good to you, he is just a stone in the toilet. We don't care about him!"

To be honest, Xun Nian Nian wanted to laugh but was also deeply moved by what Xun Shenghong said.

She stared at the person in front of her.

Before walking into the gate of Xun Mansion, there was a middle-aged man whose name I had only heard in books.

The tip of my nose suddenly felt sore.

Is this the love from a father?

So direct, so profound, and so domineering!

To the extent that Xun Niannian didn't know how to respond to him for a moment.

When Zhao, who was standing by, saw Xun Niannian's expression, she thought she was frightened by Xun Shenghong.

The blame in her eyes became even stronger, and she even glared at Xun Shenghong fiercely.

"You are getting more and more outrageous the more you talk! Look at you, you have scared Nian Nian! Stop talking nonsense!"

She patted Xun Niannian's shoulder gently and comforted her.

"Nian Nian, don't listen to your father's nonsense. He has been imprisoned for so many days and he is full of resentment. He will probably feel uncomfortable if he doesn't vent. Let's ignore him!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao's brows suddenly frowned.

Her hand moved down from Xun Niannian's shoulder and pinched her.

"Nian Nian, why do you look a lot thinner? You... Prince He won't really treat you badly, right?"

Zhao changed her indifferent attitude and became anxious and worried.

Xun Nian Nian's heart felt warm again.

Before she could say anything, Xun Shenghong, who already looked unhappy, looked even uglier.

"I know that King He is not as simple as he appears to be. He looks like a decent person and is gentle and friendly on weekdays, but who knows what he is like behind the scenes!"

"When I first heard that he was ruthless and resolute in handling cases, I should have been more vigilant and should not have married Nian Nian to him!"
