The Yuan family also sent someone to deliver gifts. Around noon, Yuan Yutong and Xiao Jun arrived at the villa. One of them came for her cousin's birthday, and the other came to see her sister.
"Those girls have been playing outside all morning. Qiuying, go find them and bring them back." It has been almost twenty days since the cousin last saw her daughter. If Kyoto hadn't been in turmoil recently, Yin Qianhua would definitely send the two girls home to stay for a few days.
Mu Fengwu and others came over and waited for dinner to start. They were surprised to see Xiao Jun and the others. Mu Fengwu and Yun Yifan took the initiative to greet Xiao Jun, but the other party was obviously not in the right state of mind. He either answered irrelevant questions or just hummed or hawed. His eyes were fixed on the door.
Hearing footsteps at the door, Xiao Jun stood up suddenly. He pushed away Mu Fengwu who was blocking his view and ran quickly towards the door.
"Is it Third Auntie who is here?" Xiao Yao asked happily.
"And me, sister, and me." Xiao Jun shouted outside. Yin Qianhua, who had a loud voice, rubbed her ears quickly after hearing it.
"Fifth brother? Is that you?" Xiao Yao's voice became more cheerful.
When the brother and sister met, it gave everyone present the feeling that they were meeting again after a long separation, as if they were long-lost relatives who had gone through untold hardships to finally meet each other.
"Do you miss me? Sister, I miss you so much." After saying this, Xiao Jun hugged Xiao Yao tightly in the stunned eyes of everyone.
Even if you are siblings, even if you haven't seen each other for a long time, holding hands is understandable, but a hug is too much!
"Hey, Ajun, let Ping'an go quickly. Her body hasn't recovered yet!" Yuan Yutong watched the excitement for a while and saw that the time was almost up, so she found a reason to let Xiao Jun let go.
Xiao Jun shook his head like a rattle, not letting go, but instead holding on tighter. Xiao Yao had been living in Suzhou for six months, and about a month after returning home, she collapsed and was relocated to the palace. In Xiao Jun's mind, it felt like his sister had been living away from home for the past year.
"Fifth brother, let go of my hand. I have something to give you." After all, girls are not as strong as boys. Xiao Yao struggled a few times, but it was of no use.
"No, I don't want anything. Sister, can you please go home with Fifth Brother?" Xiao Jun's voice was a little choked, and he pleaded with tears in his eyes.
"In twenty days or so I can go back and live there." Hearing Xiao Jun's voice with a hint of tears, Xiao Yao stopped struggling. She was so lucky to have met her grandfather, parents, and several brothers who loved her deeply. Even her uncles and aunts loved her very much. The feeling of being cared for was so happy. Xiao Yao hoped that she could spend her whole life like this.
"You're never leaving again?"
"I'm not leaving."
"You won't get married either, right? Fifth Brother will take care of you for the rest of your life and will not let you suffer any grievances. Let's not go to other people's houses and suffer, okay?"
"Okay, I'll listen to my grandfather, parents and fifth brother." Xiao Yao answered Xiao Jun's questions meekly.
The two of them might not have thought anything of it, but the reactions of those who heard it varied.
King Jing and his wife: These brother and sister have such a great relationship. I wish our son and daughter could be like this.
Mu Fengwu: Do you still dare to accept this sister-in-law? The old man is already very protective of his son, and Xiao Zhuangzhuang is even more so. If the little sister-in-law gets bullied in his own family in the future, the Xiao family will raze the Duke Mu's mansion to the ground!
Yun Yifan: It seems that the Xiao family will never let Junior Sister enter the palace no matter what. After all, a girl like her who is so lively and makes people feel good just by looking at her shouldn’t enter that kind of place.
Yun Yichen: ………Why do I dislike Xiao Jun more and more? Every family has brothers. If all the men were like him, no man in the world would need to marry. It's ridiculous, too ridiculous.
Yuan Yutong and Xiao Yao took turns, and it took a long time before they finally calmed Xiao Jun down and made him let go.
When the meal started, Xiao Jun refused to eat outside no matter what. Instead, he sat between his two sisters as per the rules. After the princess started eating, he began to pick up food for Xiao Yao, and occasionally passed a piece of food for Xiao Yuan. In just a short while, the bowl in front of Xiao Yao was piled with food as high as a mountain.
"Fifth brother, please stop eating. I can't eat that much!" Have you been separated from your sister for so long that you've forgotten how much I eat? Besides, what would the princess think when she saw this? Was she worried about me?
"Why can't you grow some weight?" Xiao Jun said sadly when he saw his sister protecting the bowl in front of her with her hands and refusing to let him continue to pick up food. Not knowing whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced in the direction of Xiao Yuan.
"Fifth brother, I swear I didn't steal my sister's rice and dishes. But after my sister said she didn't want to eat anymore, I ate the dishes on her plate. I really didn't bully my sister." Xiao Yuan hurriedly explained.
"Fifth Brother didn't say anything about you. He just blamed me for being too thin. Don't let your imagination run wild. Do you hear me?"
"Ruyi, you are not fat at all." In order to avoid his cousin from worrying, Xiao Jun closed his eyes and said against his will.
"Yeah, yeah, I don't think I'm fat either." This is what Xiao Yuan likes to hear the most.
"You guys should take a break." Yuan Yutong really couldn't stand it anymore. Her nephew was lying with open eyes, and her niece was always afraid that her daughter would be hurt. Her own daughter was even more amazing. She would listen to anything that was beneficial to her, but she would turn a deaf ear to anything that she didn't want to hear or that was not beneficial to her.
While eating, Yin Qianhua and her daughter enjoyed the lively exchanges between the Xiao family members, some warm and some argumentative. After the meal, not only did Yin Qianhua eat half an extra bowl of rice, but even Yun Ruonan added another bowl of rice for the first time.
After dinner, everyone sat together and chatted. Xiao Jun pulled Xiao Yao to a corner and took out small gadgets from his purse and waist one by one.
"Where's the purse I embroidered for you? Why don't you use it?"
"I'm carrying a lot of stuff today, and I'm afraid it'll get torn. I only tie it around my waist when I go out."
"Use it. If it breaks, I'll embroider it for you again."
"Okay, then I'll use it every day starting tomorrow, and you have to keep your word!"
Xiao Yao has asked Xiao Hui to bring the new school bag she made in her spare time. She made it by combining the school bag she used and the school bags her brothers are currently using.
Both sides of the green cloth bag are embroidered with cartoon versions of chestnut horses, which are very cute and majestic; there is also another blue one embroidered with a cute little bear. There is no doubt that this one is for Xiao Qi.
"It looks nice. I will definitely carry it with me every day. What's in it?" Xiao Jun asked, touching the bulging school bag.
"I made a belt for each of my brothers." The four belts were made of silk threads in different colors, with beads or jade pieces hanging in the middle. They were very suitable for young people who were full of energy and vigor to wear.
The two people thought that no one would notice them. In fact, except Yuan Yutong and Xiao Yuan, everyone else looked in their direction intentionally or unintentionally. The unique book bag and chic belt made Mu Fengwu feel itchy. He did regret it now. If he had not offended the little junior sister yesterday, he could have shamelessly asked for one or two things. Now he was too embarrassed to ask.
It was not until Yuan Yutong chased her several times that Xiao Jun reluctantly stood up and walked out. He kept asking his sister when she would be home, and he would come to pick her up even if he had to skip classes.
"If you skip school, I will never talk to you again." Xiao Yao said very seriously.
"Then I won't run away. Don't be angry." Xiao Jun carried his school bag and held his brother's, and promised in a flattering manner.
When they were almost at the gate, Yuan Yutong stopped Yin Qianhua and the others from seeing them off. Xiao Yao heard that things were quite chaotic outside recently and she was very worried about the safety of her third aunt and fifth brother. After thinking it over, she ran to ask King Jing for help.
"Your Highness, could you please send someone to escort my Third Aunt and Brother Wuwu?" Xiao Yao's eyes were full of desire, no longer her usual playful and cheerful expression.
"You have to call me uncle from now on, remember?" My wife is my aunt and I am the prince, why does it sound so awkward!
"You can let me call you whatever you want. Could you send a few experts to escort Aunt San and the others home?" Xiao Yao followed the advice without forgetting her request.
King Jing was happy. He wanted her to be his daughter-in-law. Would she be willing to call him father-in-law? He glanced at his son who was indifferent to such a touching scene and Xiao Yao who had never communicated with his son. King Jing didn't know where to start. It seemed that his wife didn't have that intention either. Was he just being sentimental? King Jing thought with regret.
"Okay, uncle promises you."
"Thank you, uncle." Xiao Yao called so sweetly.
Forget it, he stopped dwelling on it. Whether they were meant to be together depended on whether they got along. If they were meant to be, they would naturally become a family. If they weren't meant to be, forcing it was pointless. Wasn't he the perfect example? He also gave up on discussing with his wife whether his son and Xiao Yao could be together.
Everything depends on my son's wishes. My son and daughter must marry the person they like.
Yun Yifan had also been staying outside for two days. After the Xiao family left, he and Mu Fengwu were also going to leave. Xiao Yao and Xiao Yuan were overjoyed to learn that Mu Fengwu was finally leaving.
"Um, Junior Sister, can I ask you for a favor?" Mu Fengwu seemed like a different person. The "elegant young man" referred to him now. He was as polite as he could be, completely different from the outspoken man a day ago.
"You must have no good intentions. Stay away from my sister." Xiao Yuan took a step forward to block Xiao Yao. When no other members of the Xiao family were present, he would protect his sister. Fighting against Mu Fengwu was what Xiao Yuan was most willing to do.
"I will never speak nonsense again. Don't be angry. I really don't mean any harm."
"I don't believe you. If you have something wrong, just tell me!" Xiao Yuan was determined not to let him get close to Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao also stood obediently behind her sister. This Young Master Mu just has a short memory. Wouldn't it be fine if you just leave quietly at this time?
Yun Yifan guessed what Mu Fengwu wanted. He hoped that Mu Fengwu would succeed, because then he might also gain something!
