No one expected that the Uncle Nine whom Xin Wu had mentioned countless times was actually a martial artist from Daqing. This was beyond everyone's expectation. Speaking of Daqing martial arts, that was another turbulent story that Fengming and the others could not take care of for the time being.
"Then your father doesn't know Uncle Jiu's name either?"
Feng Yuyun couldn't help but ask, but after asking, she felt like she had asked a stupid question. Since Xin Wu didn't know, she certainly didn't know whether her father knew or not.
"My father must know. I remember when I was little, I was curious and kept pestering my father to know Uncle Jiu's name. My father held me on his lap and coaxed me..."
Xin Wu's eyes were a little dazed, as if she had turned back into the innocent little girl she was when she was a teenager, sitting on the lap of her loving father and listening to the distant story.
"Your uncle doesn't want others to know his name."
"Why? The eldest prince said he wanted his name to be known by people all over the country. That way he would have face."
"Haha, my silly daughter, you're still too young. You'll understand when you grow up. Your Uncle Nine has enemies. He finally has a wife and daughter again. If his name gets known, it would be bad if those enemies come looking for him."
"But I want to know, what is Uncle Jiu's name?"
Little Xin Wu sat on her father's lap and acted coquettishly to satisfy her little curiosity in her youth.
"No, I promised you that Uncle Jiu would never tell anyone his name. That snowy night, in the dilapidated temple in the suburbs, I rescued him, and he swore to remain anonymous for the rest of his life, as if he were dead. Now he is Uncle Jiu, and his name is Xin Jiu." Seeing little Xin Wu pouting, somewhat dissatisfied with the answer, his father, who was a daughter-slave, could only add soothingly, "Okay, my dear daughter, your Uncle Jiu's original name also had the character 'jiu' in it. This is all I can tell you. Remember, in this family, besides your father, the one who loves you, cares for you the most is definitely Uncle Jiu."
"Oh, okay, Daddy..."
The scenes of memories faded away, and Xin Wu had a little girl's smile on his face.
"So, I think my father must have known Uncle Jiu's full name. He later told me that Uncle Jiu was also a well-known figure in the Daqing martial arts world."
"Hmm, so there's 'nine' in his name. He's a martial arts hero whose family was wiped out about twenty years ago..." Su Wei stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, "That shouldn't be difficult to investigate."
"Why are you investigating this?"
Fengming was puzzled. Weren't they talking about Uncle Jiu's rebellion? Then they talked about the Xin family's history of making a fortune and then talked about the gay friendship between Father Xin and Uncle Xin Jiu. This was too off topic.
"It's okay, it's just an interest. Maybe it will be useful in the future. Let's get back to business." Su Wei shook off the things in his mind that had no relevance to the current situation, concentrated his mind, and continued talking about the rebellion.
"According to what Xin Wu said, your Xin family saved Uncle Xin Jiu's life, so they shouldn't be the type to betray so easily. Oh, by the way, Xin Wei, has Uncle Xin Jiu come to see you since you came back?"
Su Wei threw the question to Xiao Xinwei again.
"Well, Uncle Jiu came to see me."
"How did he behave when he came to see you?"
"How's the performance?" Xin Wei didn't quite understand Su Wei's question.
"Well, do you feel that he treats you the same as before? Did he say anything to you?"
"Hmm...same, but also a little different. I can feel that Uncle Jiu is still as kind to me as before. Although he's still not good at speaking, his eyes can't deceive me. He really cares about me. But it's different. He seems to have said, 'I'm sorry for you.' Yes, he said it several times, saying things like, 'You've suffered outside,' and 'It's all my fault.'"
"Then where did you meet Uncle Xin Jiu?"
"At the Big Bad Guy's house! Oh, right, it seemed like Uncle Jiu and the Big Bad Guy had a quarrel. At that time, the Big Bad Guy asked Uncle Jiu not to disturb my rest and to go to the front hall with him for tea. I didn't want Uncle Jiu to leave, so I ran to the door and looked out. I thought I heard Uncle Jiu scolding Sheng Jicheng for 'cheating him'."
While Xiao Xin was trying hard to recall the scene of his meeting with Uncle Jiu, several adults exchanged meaningful looks.
"Well, I have a guess."
Tunan, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.
"I'm wondering if Uncle Xin Jiu thought all three of you were dead, or maybe he was deceived by Sheng Jicheng, so he sided with Sheng Jicheng."
"Well, I agree. It seems I need to investigate further."
Su Wei felt a little embarrassed. He was a little rash in his conclusion this time.
"By the way, Su Wei, you said that after my father got into trouble, relatives from other branches and my cousin princes came to fight for my family's property?"
Xin Wu also had something else on her mind. She hadn't really thought much about the family fortune before; she only wanted to avenge her father. But when she heard Su Wei talk about how his father had built up the family fortune, she felt that she couldn't just let her father's hard work go to waste. Furthermore, Xin Wei was still alive and well, so she had to get all the family fortune back from him!
"Yes, that's right. It was thanks to Uncle Xin Jiu that he helped you keep the family business. It was said that everyone said that the three of you had passed away, but because only your father's body had been seen, and there was no trace of you and Xin Wei, it was Uncle Xin Jiu who insisted that you were just missing and firmly refused to hand over the family business to those collateral relatives. I guess Sheng Jicheng also didn't want your Xin family's business to be taken away by others, so he also made some efforts behind the scenes. Currently, the Xin family's business is taken care of by Uncle Xin Jiu."
"Is that so?" Xin Wu's tone was a little low, not sure whether it was because of the relatives' indifference or Sheng Jicheng's premeditated kindness.
"Well, it seems that we still need to meet that Uncle Xin Jiu."
Fengming made a final summary with emotion.
"That dog you picked up can be put to good use."
"Well, but there's a problem now. Feng Xiyun is still pretending to be sick, and we don't know when Prince Dongyao will find out the results and give us an investigation report. It wouldn't be a good idea for me to rashly go to the Xin family to deliver the dog."
Although Fengming agreed with Su Wei's point of view, she also wanted to take the dog to visit Uncle Xin Jiu as soon as possible. On the one hand, she wanted to test Uncle Xin Jiu's attitude, and on the other hand, she wanted to make sure that Liuyi could become her property.
"Well, this is indeed a problem. Sheng Jicheng's wedding is only about 10 days away. We absolutely cannot let them get married. I don't want to delay everything until after the wedding. If we want to complete a beautiful revenge on their wedding day, it seems we have to speed up!"
