[Tsk, we were worried about Xiao Juan, but it seems she's doing quite well at Prince Wen's residence!]
[These are pastries, and they were made in the small kitchen again.]
Bai Yunqi squatted on the eaves, activated his spiritual power to become invisible, turned his head and glanced at his nervous father, who was tightly hugging the roof beam.
"Dad, don't be so nervous, relax."
Bai Yunqi raised his hand to comfort his father, who was probably climbing the roof beam for the first time, but almost scared Bai Tian so much that he fell down.
Bai Tian took a breath: "It's my first time climbing the roof beams, let me catch my breath."
Bai Yunqi touched the tip of his nose: [Thank goodness Dad doesn't cultivate immortality. If this were where we're from, flying on a sword would be incredibly embarrassing!]
While thinking to myself, I glanced at my two younger brothers on the opposite roof.
[Tsk! Look how relaxed the second child is, and the youngest is doing the same, even dangling one leg!]
Listening to her older brother's rambling: ...
My older brother can be really noisy sometimes!
She was inwardly complaining about her older brother, but Juanjuan was still very happy because her brothers had come, and so had her father.
With her family backing her up, what was she afraid of? She immediately felt confident.
Just as the maid brought the meat porridge, King Wen received news that Jiang Dai had arrived.
"Drink slowly. I'll go out for a bit and come back to see you later."
King Wen instructed the maid to watch over Juan Juan, then turned and left without looking back.
Juanjuan tilted her head and watched King Wen leave, stirring the porridge in her bowl with a wooden spoon, just about to drink it.
"You actually dare to drink that!"
A hand appeared and pressed down on her hand that was holding the spoon.
Juanjuan turned around, looking at her older brother who had suddenly appeared with some shock.
She knew her older brother was there, but why did he come out without any warning?
Bai Yunqi looked at his frightened sister and took out a soft little bread from his pocket: "Eat this first, don't go hungry. Although this porridge is not poisonous, it's still best not to eat things from bad people."
Juanjuan took the bread roll with a bewildered look, but her gaze remained on her older brother: "Why did you come out, Big Brother? Like last time, can you do magic tricks?"
Bai Yunqi decisively shifted the blame to his fictitious master.
"Master helped; he's hiding nearby, so you can't see him."
"Oh, your master is really amazing."
Juanjuan took a bite of bread and praised Bai Yunqi indistinctly.
Bai Yunqi couldn't help but smile slightly: [Praising Master is practically praising me!]
Juanjuan ate a small bread roll to fill her stomach and asked, "Big brother, Mom is coming too, what should we do?"
"It's alright, don't be afraid. Your big brother is right here with you. Just do what you need to do."
"Big Brother doesn't know what this person is up to yet; we need to let him slip up little by little."
Juanjuan nodded: "I know this, it's called casting a long line to catch a big fish."
Bai Yunqi raised his hand and ruffled the child's hair: "Then we'll have to rely on Juanjuan. Master will protect Juanjuan, so Juanjuan doesn't need to be afraid."
"good."
The child obediently responded, and then saw his older brother disappear.
The maidservant guarding her inside the house seemed completely unaware that her elder brother had come.
Curly held the spoon and stirred it in the bowl.
I wonder how my mother is doing.
However, with her brothers around, her mother should be safe.
*
"Where's my daughter? What have you done to her?!"
Jiang Dai's acting skills are undoubtedly superb. Even though she knew that her little girl was not in danger, she still managed to portray a sense of worry.
"She is safe."
King Wen put down his brush and ink, and looked up at the anxious woman.
Even though she was alone, she was still a little nervous and scared, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes behind her back, but she still pretended to be calm.
Little did they know that their voices were trembling with nervousness.
"I heard that you have amnesia, and you don't remember your family or where your home is."
King Wen slowly said, "Your mother and I are siblings, so you should call me uncle."
Even though Jiang Dai already knew about this relationship, she still showed the expected shock and suspicion.
"Uncle? How could that be!"
Jiang Dai frowned slightly, staring at King Wen in disbelief, and murmured, "But... that's not what she said..."
Even Bai Yun'an, who was hiding in the roof beam, couldn't help but shake his head in admiration. His mother's acting skills were indeed quite good.
King Wen's lips curled into a slightly mocking smile, which vanished in an instant.
"The Empress Dowager? She kept it from you. There are some issues with your maternal grandmother's identity, otherwise the royal bloodline wouldn't have been scattered outside the palace."
"But you don't need to be afraid of me, because I am your uncle, and I had the best relationship with your mother back then, it's just a pity..."
King Wen lowered his gaze slightly, revealing an ambiguous emotion: "Unfortunately, the Jiang family suffered a horrific massacre."
If it weren't for the eldest son saying that the person who wiped out the Jiang family was King Wen.
Jiang Dai really couldn't believe that such a refined man, who spoke of her with regret and nostalgia, was the murderer of the massacre of her entire family.
"He can really hold a lot! He can hold more than a sack!"
Bai Tian cursed under his breath, since he was carrying a talisman drawn by his eldest son.
No one else could hear the sound or see the person.
"Then what are you trying to do by using the child to blackmail me?!"
Jiang Dai took the initiative and refused to let King Wen talk nonsense.
King Wen looked at Jiang Dai with a hint of pity and sighed softly.
"I'm doing this for your own good. Your uncle already knows about what happened to you. That scumbag man doesn't deserve you at all!"
Suddenly I was scolded for being completely useless: ? ? ? ?
