Before this, Sima You made a special trip back to the Prince's Mansion to say goodbye to his family, but he was met with an extremely indifferent attitude from them.
Even though he had lived in the Zhao family mansion for the past ten years and had become like a son to the Zhao family, he had never severed ties with his family. He always thought that if he ever left the Zhao family mansion, this family would be the place that would welcome him the most.
However, the reality is always cruel. His family had always tried to maintain a good relationship with the Zhao family through him, and they were the people in the world who least wanted him to leave the Zhao family.
Even on this day, when they were leaving the capital, Zhao Shi'an specially accompanied his wife to see them off, while not a single person from his own family came to inquire.
"Xixi, take good care of Youyou. He's younger than you, and you can't always have him take care of you."
Fang Qing gave instructions.
"Okay, Mom. You and Dad should go back now; it's hot outside."
"Mother thinks you should go first."
Fang Qing and Zhao Shi'an watched as Zhao Xizhi and Sima You mounted their horses and left their sight under the escort of seventeen or so men.
Before Zhao Xizhi and his group set off, Qing had already written to Fang Zhu and learned that Zhao Xizhi was coming to Yongzhou. Fang Zhu had already sent someone to pick them up.
Fang Zhu has a residence in Yongzhou, and he spends most of his time there after Princess Min'er came.
Zhao Xizhi and Sima You were taken into Fang Zhu's residence.
Zhao Xizhi was no stranger to Fang Zhu; he could see his uncle in the capital every two years.
He had only met Princess Kemin once when he was a child, and his memory of her was that she was just an exceptionally warm friend of his mother.
At this moment, Fang Zhu and Princess Min'er were at the gate of the mansion. When they saw Zhao Xizhi, they hurriedly went up to her.
"Xixi, the boy has grown so tall in the two years I haven't seen him."
Fang Zhu patted Zhao Xizhi's shoulder with his strong hand and said, "You're looking more and more like your father."
"uncle."
"Hey, you must have had a long journey."
"It's nothing. It's rare for me to leave the house, so I'm just curious and don't feel tired at all."
As he spoke, Zhao Xizhi looked at Princess Min'er, bowed to her, and greeted her.
"Auntie."
"Yes, I received your mother's letter a while ago. Come on in."
Fang Zhu and Princess Min'er warmly welcomed Zhao Xizhi as they walked into their home, while Sima You crossed his arms and looked around curiously.
Fang Zhu's mansion was not as grand as the mansion bestowed by the emperor in the capital, but it was still considered large in Yongzhou City.
After they entered the gate, they walked around a rockery, behind which was a lake. The scenery was beautiful at that moment, and Zhao Xizhi couldn't help but take a second look as they passed by.
Just as they passed a screen wall, a loud female voice came from the other side.
"You little bastard, stop right there!"
"Don't you dare run away, or I'll skin you alive!"
The sound, accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps and children's excited laughter, grew closer and closer.
Fang Zhu chuckled helplessly upon hearing this. Princess Min'er clicked her tongue and walked through the moon gate first, stopping a boy who was running towards her at high speed.
The boy was only five or six years old, with two little pigtails. Now his hair was all disheveled from running, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
"Mother, save me! My sister is going to hit me!"
The boy jumped into Min'er's arms, excited yet also a little scared as he looked behind him.
Zhao Xizhi's lips curved upwards slightly, and Sima You, who was standing behind him, peeked out from behind him curiously to look in that direction.
"You still dare to call me 'Mother'? Even if the King of Heaven himself came, I'd still deal with you today!"
Before he finished speaking, a beautiful figure rushed over, holding a riding whip in her hand.
At fifteen years old, she had already grown into an exceptionally refined young woman, dressed in a fiery red riding outfit, her hair simply tied into a high ponytail, glaring fiercely at the little boy in Min'er's arms.
"Ya'er, what did you do to upset your sister again?" Min'er asked the little boy in her arms.
"I don't……"
"You still dare to talk? Mother, that bastard burned all my paintings! I stayed up all night to paint them!"
At this point, the girl's eyes welled up with tears.
Upon hearing this, Min'er immediately pushed the little boy in her arms to her daughter.
"You bastard, how many times have I told you not to touch your sister's things? Qianqian, go and teach him a lesson."
"Mother, I don't want to! Am I still your precious son? I don't want to!"
As she spoke, Ya'er began to wail, but she didn't shed a tear.
"You deserve it! If you cry again, you'll be sent to the army camp for training!"
Fang Zhu suddenly spoke, startling Ya'er so much that she shrank her shoulders, stood at attention, and didn't dare to breathe.
"Isn't this shameful enough? I told you all today that Xixi would be coming, what kind of behavior is this?"
Qianqian finally realized there were outsiders present, and put her hands on her hips, her gaze falling on Zhao Xizhi.
The two are the same age, but Qianqian is half a year younger than Zhao Xizhi.
The last time we met was five years ago, when Qianqian was visiting the capital for the first time. She fell ill due to the change in environment and never went to the capital again.
However, she still remembered Zhao Xizhi.
What a joke! How could she not remember the male protagonist from her comic book in her previous life?
She raised an eyebrow and glanced at Zhao Xizhi, then her gaze fell on Sima You behind him. Her eyes lingered on him for a moment, and she recognized him. Her eyes widened in surprise.
"You, all of you?"
She looked at the two of them in disbelief.
"Qianqian, come here quickly. This is your brother Xixi, and this is the second young master of the Prince of Heqin's family."
Then Fang Zhu said to Zhao Xizhi, "Xixi, do you still remember Qianqian?"
Zhao Xizhi nodded.
"I can't forget my little sister Qianqian."
