Chapter 958 We Are Not Orphans
Jiang Wan was touched by Xiao Lei's determined look, and her heart stagnated slightly.
"If you're willing to tell me, I'll help you."
"princess."
Xiao Lei nervously held Xiao Qiong's hand, then turned to look at Song Jiuyuan.
“We are not orphans.”
"I see."
Song Jiuyuan was a little speechless, "Kids, can you just say it directly?"
This pretending to be deep look gave him a headache.
"My father is Xiaoyao Hou."
Xiao Lei lowered his head, took a deep breath, suddenly raised his eyes and said this.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan were a little surprised. These two children were actually the children of Marquis Xiaoyao?
Seeing the surprise in Jiang Wan's eyes, Xiao Lei explained bitterly:
“My mother is the only daughter of General Deng Jinrui. When the throne was being fought for, my grandfather pledged allegiance to the Sixth Prince.
Later, my grandfather was defeated and died in battle, and my father openly bullied my mother, favored his concubine and neglected his wife, and finally angered my mother to death!"
The little Xiao Lei spoke clearly, but when he spoke the last part, his eyes turned red and were filled with hatred.
Xiao Qiong was still young, so she just stood obediently beside Xiao Lei and comforted him in a low voice.
"elder brother."
"Xiao Qiong, brother is fine."
Xu Xiaolei was worried that Jiang Wan and the others would not believe him, “Now Xiaoyao Mansion is managed by the concubine supported by my father.
She was afraid that I would inherit the title, so she sent people to assassinate us along the way, and we fled all the way."
"Then why are you telling us?"
Jiang Wan's eyes softened a little. The fact that Xu Xiaolei was willing to tell them just showed his trust in them.
Hearing this, Xu Xiaolei said, "The princess is a kind-hearted person. I believe you will not hand me over to that bad woman."
He hadn't been in the Orphanage for long when he saw how grateful they were to the princess.
The princess is not a bad person, so he is willing to take a chance!
Several months after leaving Kyoto, Xu Xiaolei was actually worried that the situation was hopeless.
When everyone in Kyoto thinks he is dead, the title will eventually become the property of that evil woman's child.
"So what do you want us to do?"
Song Jiuyuan was not as emotional as Jiang Wan. He had guessed what Xu Xiaolei was thinking when he told him about his life.
"If possible, I would like to ask the prince and princess to pass a message to my family."
Xu Xiaolei's anxious look softened Jiang Wan's heart. She said worriedly:
"Your father's concubine is in charge of the family now. Aren't you afraid that your father will find out and then..."
"Princess."
Xu Xiaolei said with a burning gaze: "I don't want to send a message to my father.
Since my mother's maternal family fell into decline, he has been able to openly favor that concubine. I don't believe him."
"Brother, Daddy won't do that."
Xu Xiaoqiong still seemed a little bit unbelieving, after all, her father had truly loved her.
Hearing this, Xu Xiaolei clenched his fists, his brows fierce, "You are not allowed to believe him!"
"elder brother."
Xu Xiaoqiong felt a little aggrieved by the bullying. She pouted and said, "Brother, I only trust you."
"I'm sorry, Xiao-Jon."
Xu Xiaolei said apologetically: "Brother shouldn't be so mean to you, but I'm afraid that in this world now, grandma is the only one who truly loves us."
He looked at Jiang Wan pleadingly, “I know grandma has been looking for us.
But there have been many times that bad woman's people got there first. Could you trouble the princess to send a letter to my grandmother?"
At the end, his voice seemed to be choked, and he added: "There is another letter for my uncle.
Although my maternal family is not as glorious as before, my uncle will try his best to save us."
Many of the officials who participated in the fight for the throne have been dismissed or exiled.
Xu Xiaolei's uncle is still alive, which means they were not the core team back then, or that they quickly turned to the light.
It’s just that he had already recognized other people as his masters, so it’s not easy for him to be reused.
"I will send a message to your grandmother and uncle."
Song Jiuyuan received Jiang Wan's hint and gave the answer readily.
Xu Xiaolei was very happy to hear this. His eyes were red with excitement. "Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty and Princess."
"Thank you, my Lord and my Princess."
Xu Xiaoqiong also imitated her brother and hurriedly thanked him, and the two children finally smiled.
“Since someone is trying to assassinate you, if you believe us, just stay in the palace.
How about waiting until someone you trust comes to take you back to Kyoto?"
Jiang Wan not only cares about them, but also about the children in the orphanage.
The palace has guards who can protect them and will not harm innocent people.
"I am sorry to bother you, my Lord and Princess."
Xu Xiaolei also knew that this was the best option. When he saw his grandmother, he would definitely ask her to thank the princess.
"Fairy sister, you are so kind."
Xu Xiaoqiong was younger and not very sensible, but she also knew that Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan helped her and her brother.
Jiang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She called Grandma Yuan in, "Grandma Yuan, take them to the guest house."
She suddenly thought of something and told Granny Yuan, "Don't arrange to be too close to the Chu family."
Although she believed in Mr. Chu and Chu Qi, she did not trust other people in the Chu family.
"Yes, princess."
Granny Yuan nodded slightly. "No one lives in the west wing for now, so that's just right."
"Song Liu, protect them both."
Song Jiuyuan called out the secret guards hiding in the dark. Song Liu was a woman, and this was the first time Jiang Wan saw her.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Granny Yuan took the person away, Jiang Wan asked in confusion, "Why haven't I seen Song Liu before?"
“She used to collect intelligence for me at a brothel in Kyoto, but that base was discovered, so her identity was exposed.
I'll let her protect you first, after all, you're both women, so it'll be more convenient."
"You know, the things on me are too precious, so I don't like her to be too close."
Jiang Wan didn't think there was anything wrong. Song Liu had cold eyes and there was only respect and obedience in his eyes when he looked at Song Jiuyuan.
"Don't worry, I told you about your secret after I found out about it."
Song Jiuyuan smiled dotingly. While they were talking, it was already dinner time and the people from the small kitchen brought the food.
After Song Jiuyuan accompanied Jiang Wan to use the room, he did not come back tonight.
They have decided to set off for Nanchuan tomorrow.
Song Jiuyuan still had a lot of things to deal with, and Jiang Wan herself was not busy either.
She handed all the account books to Qiu Niang and said, "I have checked them all. I am confident that you can handle the matter.
You will need to work hard for a while. If anyone asks me, just say that the prince and I are in seclusion in the temple."
"Don't worry, Princess. I know what to do."
Qiu Niang has always understood Jiang Wan the best. After Jiang Wan gave her instructions, she quickly went to the small kitchen and helped make many snacks that Jiang Wan liked.
After a busy night, Grandma Yuan and Qiu Niang packed a lot of things. Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Wan washed up and went to bed.
When she got up early, Granny Yuan was dressing Jiang Wan and said, "Princess, Qiu Niang has to manage the shop and she just got married, so it's not suitable for her to go on a long journey with you.
Why not let this old servant come along so that he can also serve the princess."
