Chapter 301 Where the hell have you been!
Her chest felt tight and painful, and she hugged her second uncle's neck, silently shedding tears.
Xu Yinan waited quietly, only to find that his shoulder was wet!
"What's wrong, Zhao Zhao? Are you feeling unwell? Or is there something you don't like? Your second uncle will change it for you!"
He hurriedly tried to distance himself, but Yun Zhao clung tightly to his shoulders, shaking her head incessantly.
Xu Yinan didn't know why his niece was crying, so he could only hug her and gently pat her back.
"I'm sorry... Uncle, I'm so sorry..."
Yun Zhao's voice trembled, and he curled up like a small animal, crying uncontrollably.
Hearing his niece's suppressed sobs, Xu Yinan felt a pang of heartache.
“We are family, Zhao Zhao doesn’t need to apologize.”
Yun Zhao kept shaking his head.
Her family treated her so well; in her past life, she had actually believed the Ling family's lies.
When he was reborn, Yun Zhao was filled with hatred.
She wanted the Ling family, Wei Junyan, and everyone else to die!
She even sent all those account books to the Jingzhao Prefecture.
At that time, Yun Zhao only thought that his biological father had been framed by villains.
She thought Wei Junyan was just a villain who stole the country and disregarded human life in order to avenge his father.
As the truth was gradually revealed to her.
She gradually discovered that the Zhenguo General's Mansion had been implicated in the Prince of Jin's case.
It wasn't some villainous person who framed them.
They were all afraid of the imperial power.
The emperor, the empress's faction, the Qi family, and the Prince of Yue.
Everything was intertwined.
She gradually came to understand that the tragic deaths of her family members and Wei Junyan's rebellion in her previous life were all due to some unspeakable secrets.
In her past life, she was kept in the dark, and upon her rebirth, she was blinded by hatred.
After spending these days together, I'm sure Wei Junyan isn't a petty person who disregards human life.
Her three uncles were certainly not the three good-for-nothings that Ling Xuerou described.
As if sensing Yun Zhao's emotions, Hua Hua carried the cub over and squeezed her head between the uncle and nephew.
Yun Zhao looked at it with teary eyes.
Hua Hua let out a soft whimper and tucked the little tiger into her arms.
Little Flower had no offspring, so it simply squeezed its head into her arms.
It almost pushed the little tiger off the ground.
Scarface paced anxiously around her, unsure how to comfort her.
Xiao Hei circled around, picked a bunch of flowers, and handed them to her.
They all tried to make her happy in their own ways.
Yun Zhao stopped crying and started laughing. He picked up the little tiger to prevent it from being pushed to the ground by Xiao Hua.
Thank you.
When Xu Zhenbang came out after packing his things, he saw that his granddaughter's eyes were red and swollen, and he immediately became furious.
"Xu Yinan! Did you bully Zhaozhao?!"
"Father? I... I didn't!"
Xu Yinan shouted that he was wronged.
But Xu Zhenbang simply didn't believe him because of his long criminal record.
Yun Zhao hurriedly explained, and for a moment, things got lively.
Zhi Xia and the others helped bring the dishes up, and the small pavilion was soon filled with people.
Just as things were getting lively, a convoy of cars came from a distance.
The person who stepped down from the carriage was none other than Yang Jingyan!
"Lord Yang? It's been a long time. What brings you here?"
Wei Mingde asked in surprise.
Yang Jingyan bowed to everyone and then respectfully greeted Yun Xuan.
"Your humble servant Yang Jingyan greets Your Highness Prince Jin!"
Yunxuan didn't recognize him and nodded slightly without showing any emotion: "This humble subject, Yunxuan, greets Your Excellency."
The words "commoner" were a way of telling him that he was no longer a prince.
Yang Jingyan realized that the man didn't recognize him, so he took the initiative to explain.
"Young Master Yun once showed me kindness and support, and Miss Yun once assisted me in resolving the epidemic in Yangguan County."
Mr. Yang's visit today is not only on official business, but also to celebrate the young lady's birthday. This small gift is a token of his appreciation; please accept it with gratitude.
Zhu Tao stepped forward and handed a wooden box to Yun Zhao, who then opened it.
Inside was a jade pendant symbolizing peace.
It's not particularly valuable, but the carving is exquisite, showing the care the person who chose it put into it.
"I hope Miss Yun Zhao will be safe and well."
Yang Jingyan said this.
"Thank you, Uncle Yang! Long time no see, Brother Zhu Tao!"
Yun Zhao tilted her little head back and happily accepted the jade token.
"I don't have much money, but I found some trinkets for you, young lady. I hope you won't find them offensive."
Zhu Tao also prepared a gift for her.
Seeing that she often carried a bone flute, they prepared a small short flute for her.
It's not expensive, but it's made with great care.
The birthday banquet began with Zhi Qiu and Zhi Dong as the head chefs, while the others assisted.
All the ingredients used were high-quality ingredients sent by Tingyu Pavilion.
Hearing the lively noise outside, Madam Xu felt both hot and annoyed.
She lived in the same courtyard as the Xu family, but they had ice every day, while she didn't!
Unable to bear it any longer, she flung open the door and roared at the outside.
"Xu Qingshi! Where the hell have you been?!"
Her response was still the commotion outside the courtyard.
She strode out and saw a small shed that had been built by the stream.
The area around the pergola is filled with colorful flowers, making it look like a small garden.
Even Yang Jingyan came!
What's going on?
She walked over, and as she got closer, she smelled the delicious aroma wafting from the food.
They even saw Xu Qingshi and Wu Lianzhen carrying food boxes as they walked out of the Wei family's courtyard.
She stepped forward and suddenly pulled Xu Qingshi away.
"Mom! Be careful, or you'll spill the food!"
Xu Qingshi was startled and quickly steadied the things.
"Are you crazy?! The dignified Miss Xu, becoming their servant?!"
Old Madam Xu cursed angrily.
“Mother! What servant? I’m at work! I’m helping out at Yun Zhao’s birthday banquet.”
Father agreed and gave me one tael of silver! He even invited me to eat with him! I told you yesterday...
If you're unwilling, you won't get any food today. You'll have to fend for yourself.
"You, Xu Qingshi, I am your own mother!"
Madam Xu looked at her daughter in disbelief.
Xu Qingshi was getting impatient, but she couldn't lash out at her mother.
"Mother, I'm not trying to be mean, but what good does it do to go against Father? He doesn't have time to divorce you right now, so just behave yourself and don't offend him!"
Xu Qingshi's advantage lies in understanding a principle.
Those who understand the times are wise.
The Yun family didn't bother arguing with her, but Xu Zhenbang, out of consideration for their blood ties, had already spoken to her.
As long as she obeys, she will be given a meal.
If there's an opportunity in the future, I'll find her a better marriage.
The premise is that her mother can't cause trouble either.
"You, you've been bewitched, haven't you?"
Madam Xu was so angry that she died.
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Xu Zhenbang gave her a look.
Xu Qingshi was startled and quickly shook off her mother.
"You go back quickly, I'll ask my father to bring you some food later!"
"Do you want your own mother to starve to death?"
Madam Xu was greatly surprised.
"Mother! If you continue like this, then so be it, let her go hungry!"
Xu Qingshi shook her off and quickly brought the food up.
When Yun Zhao saw Xu Qingshi, he subconsciously glanced at her again.
Xu Qingshi shuddered in fright and quickly lowered her head.
What she fears most now is that Yun Zhao will suddenly settle scores with her later.
Seeing her frightened expression, Yun Zhao smiled.
It's good that she's living in such fear.
Seeing Yun Zhao grin at her, Xu Qingshi was immediately terrified and got goosebumps all over her body.
Is this little girl plotting something bad against her?!
As everyone was having a lively birthday banquet, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the mountainside!
