"Impossible, you lied to me, Zhou Yan is obviously the grandson of the traitor Zhou Xin, how could he be my brother."

When Xiao Jie called Yu Wenxuan to the deserted backyard and revealed Zhou Yan's life experience to her personally, Yu Wenxuan's emotions collapsed, she roared at Xiao Jie hoarsely, her eyes were instantly blurred by tears.

If Xiao Jie hadn't already dismissed the other people nearby, I'm afraid such a big commotion would have attracted other servants or guards in the mansion.

Xiao Jie remained silent, and just quietly let Yu Wenxuan vent her emotions. He knew in his heart that no matter for anyone, the person who knew that he wanted to kill all the time and then quickly turned out to be his only relative in the world, no matter It is difficult for anyone to accept it for a while.

Yu Wenxuan's mood at this moment can be said to be extremely complicated, disbelief, excitement, fear, and so on.

Her instinctive rationality told her that this was an absurd lie fabricated by Xiao Jie in order to prevent her from continuing to assassinate Zhou Yan. Based on her understanding of Xiao Jie, she knew that Xiao Jie could do such a thing.

But there is another voice deep in her heart telling her, maybe this is true?After Zhou Xin handed over his elder brother to the Ning Dynasty Emperor, the other old people of the Zhou Dynasty immediately went to the Zhou Mansion to take her, who was still a baby, and told her since she was a child that she was the last blood of the Great Zhou Yuwen Clan, and that she had already died in the world. With no relatives left, she had to shoulder the important task of restoring the country by herself.However, the road to rejuvenation is so long, and she also longs for relatives to accompany her, support her and help her, but she never thought that her elder brother, who is a compatriot of the same mother, is still alive in this world, how much she hopes what Xiao Jie said is true , she still has relatives in this world.

And at this time, she was more afraid. If Zhou Yan was really her brother, if Xiao Jie hadn't stopped her repeatedly, she would have killed her last relative in the world with her own hands.

"You say Zhou Yan is my brother, what proof do you have?"

After her emotions gradually calmed down and stabilized, Yu Wenxuan slowly recovered her composure, fixed her gaze on Xiao Jie, and asked in a cold voice.

Xiao Jie smiled faintly: "It's getting late, you should go back and get some rest, and I will prove it to you tomorrow."

"How do you prove it? Why can't you do it now, why wait until tomorrow?" Yu Wenxuan was in a very urgent mood, she just wanted to know the answer immediately, and she didn't want to wait for a moment.

Xiao Jie shrugged helplessly: "How else can I prove it? Let's confess blood. Now that Zhou Yanren is not here, what to do, I can only take his blood when Zhou Yan visits tomorrow, and see if it matches your blood." If you don't get along, you will know if you are brothers and sisters."

Yu Wenxuan had no choice but to sigh silently when she heard the words. If she wanted to verify whether he and Zhou Yan were siblings, the only way was to recognize their relatives by dripping blood.

It's just that she doesn't understand, now that Zhou Yanguan is the General of the Right Jinwu Guard, in charge of the Imperial Army, his status is sensitive, theoretically it is not easy to make friends with the prince, why Xiao Jie is so sure that Zhou Yan will visit her.

But looking at Xiao Jie's mysterious and unpredictable look, Yu Wenxuan also knew that even if she asked him, she would not be able to find out why, so she could only give up, and everything will be known tomorrow.

……

The next day, as Xiao Jie expected, Zhou Yan appeared outside the gate of Prince Qi's mansion.

No way, Zhou Yan didn't want to come, but he had to.

After Xiao Jie left the Zhou Mansion yesterday, Zhou Yan opened it and found that the gift from Xiao Jie was actually a night pearl the size of an orange. Rare and priceless.

But for Zhou Yan, this valuable night pearl is like a hot potato. He is in charge of the Right Jinwu Guard, and his identity is sensitive. There will be no good fruit to eat, and if it is serious, it will even be charged with a crime of ulterior motives.

Early the next morning, he ordered the housekeeper in the mansion to take Ye Mingzhu to Prince Qi's mansion to return it, but his butler was stopped outside the gate. Xiao Jie seemed to have expected that Zhou Yan would send someone to return Ye Mingzhu, and directly asked the waiter to tell him His steward, the gift sent by King Qi, absolutely has no reason to return it.

In desperation, Zhou Yan couldn't care less about avoiding suspicion, so he had to come to the door again with the Ye Mingzhu in person after being on duty. He didn't believe that Xiao Jie wouldn't also block his imposing Jinwuwei General from the door.

Zhou Yan guessed right. Not only did Xiao Jie not stop him from the door, he even went out of the mansion to welcome him in person. Just looking at the smile on his face, Zhou Yan wondered if the other party had premeditated. Return this hot night pearl at your door.

Originally, Zhou Yan planned to leave Ye Mingzhu in order to avoid the troubles in the melon fields, so as not to enter Qi Palace to avoid gossip, but now Xiao Jie, as the master, went out to greet him in person, and warmly invited him to sit in the mansion. Zhou Yan is also kind It's hard, let alone refute Xiao Jie's face, so he had no choice but to half-pull and enter the Qi Palace.

But he has already made up his mind in his heart, say a few words casually, drink a cup of tea and leave, and never stay too long, lest he can't speak clearly when the time comes.

Xiao Jie brought Zhou Yan to the honored guest room, and the guest of honor took their seats. Before Xiao Jie could speak, Zhou Yan quickly pushed the gift box in front of Xiao Jie, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, it's just a small gesture, not a respect."

Zhou Yan had thought about it, if he said bluntly that Ye Mingzhu was returned to Xiao Jie, Xiao Jie would inevitably lose his face and might become angry from embarrassment.

But if you repackage the Ye Mingzhu as a door-to-door gift, reciprocity is reasonable, and Xiao Jie can live with his face, so naturally he won't refuse. After he left, Xiao Jie saw the Ye Mingzhu he had returned, so he naturally understood what he meant. In the future, I will never think about making friends with myself again.

At this moment, Zhou Yan even felt a little secretly proud, feeling that he was also somewhat quick-witted.

Sure enough, Xiao Jie was courteous and courteous, saying that it was a waste of money, so he happily accepted Zhou Yan's gift, and handed it to the housekeeper without looking at it, which avoided Zhou Yan's embarrassment.

Now that the purpose of returning the Ye Mingzhu has been achieved, Zhou Yan drank a few sips of hot tea and exchanged casual greetings with Xiao Jie, then he got up and said goodbye on the grounds that it was getting late.

But Xiao Jie went down the donkey, insisting on staying in Zhou Yan's mansion for dinner on the grounds that it was getting late.

Zhou Yan instinctively wanted to decline, but Xiao Jie insisted on letting him have dinner before leaving, otherwise he would not give him face as King Qi.

Zhou Yan saw that Xiao Jie's hospitality was hard to be rejected, and his face gradually became displeased, so he had no choice but to agree to stay for dinner before leaving.
