Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away

Chapter 40 Wen Xi's Show of Good Will

"Actually, my cousin and the others didn't invite me." Wen Xi saw Wen Jiu sitting in the carriage and not talking to him, so he spoke first.

"I know. What do you want to ask me?" Wen Jiu knew. As her brother, he never went to her courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He certainly would not go to her grandparents' house. He must have something to do.

"Where is the servant who accompanied you to recuperate?"

"Some died, and some escaped," Wen Jiu said expressionlessly, as if she was not the abandoned little girl.

"Then how did the Xuan Ling beside you get to you?" Wen Xi looked at this seemingly indifferent Wen Jiu with mixed feelings.

"We depend on each other, keep each other warm, and grow up together. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"You're quite close to Yanchuan, right? Have you heard that a year ago, the river water at the Yanchuan dock was dyed red overnight, and body parts were flying everywhere, but the head was missing?" Wen Xi carefully observed all her small expressions, trying to see something from them, but found nothing.

"Why? Wen Xi, you don't think that matter has anything to do with me, do you? Although I am indifferent, I don't know martial arts, and Xuan Ling only knows a little bit of boxing and can go up the mountain to hunt. Otherwise, how do you think we have survived without money for so many years?"

"That's not what I meant. I just want to know what kind of life you lived before..."

"What kind of life is this? We learn to farm day and night for a living, and we protect our small home with fear, fearing large wild animals and bandits, and we go hungry and eat one meal a day. Master, are you satisfied with my answer?" In short, we are busy killing people day and night to practice our skills. Can you say that? When the old man was alive, she didn't suffer any hardship...

"If you have any difficulties in the future, please tell me." Wen Xi was still wondering how they survived as master and servant. After hearing Wen Jiu's words, she felt extremely distressed. She should have been the pampered daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with the General's Mansion behind her. She should have been the most noble daughter in the capital except for the royal family. In order to make a living, just to survive, she had to solve her own food. Compared with Wen Ziqi, she suffered too much. However, there have been unusual movements of foreign spies recently, and he cannot be careless. He still has not completely let down his vigilance against Xuan Ling.

How could it be such a coincidence that I appeared next to Wen Jiu?

Wen Jiu almost laughed out loud when he heard Wen Xi's words, "You'd better take care of yourself! Someone will take care of me." The implication was that she had more than one brother.

Wen Xi took out a few banknotes from her pocket and said, "This is my private money. You can use it to buy the pearl hairpin. If it's not enough, I will find a way to earn more for you."

"No... I... have money, you can use it for yourself. I have saved it for many years, save it for marrying a wife." Wen Xi took a rough look and saw some notes with a face value of 100 taels, 500 taels, and 1,000 taels. It was not certain how long they had been saved. She didn't want any of them. Besides, if she treated herself like this suddenly, she would probably ask for something for the two people in the mansion again. Her face darkened.

Wen Xi seemed to see through her thoughts. "It's just pocket money for you to buy a pearl hairpin. I'm doing a little business now. You can't tell them."

"What do you want to do to me all of a sudden? Didn't the two of you in the mansion ask you to come here and ask me to do something for you?"

“Really not”

"Then I don't want it either. You can keep it for yourself. You need money to run a business. I don't lack money to spend."

"Do you also think that I am a useless brother? It will be done soon. Give me some more time. Believe me, try to believe me. I will be a good brother and protect you."

"Master, this is suddenly so sensational"

"Shut up, how would I know what's wrong with him?"

"Is he envious of how you get along with your three cousins ​​and has made up his mind to be a good brother?"

"Let's wait until he can protect himself." Wen Jiu didn't believe that his spoiled character could immediately become tough.

"Wait until you can protect yourself before you protect others. I have someone around me who can protect me." Wen Jiu smiled lightly and stuffed the money into his pocket, but ultimately refused to take it. Seeing him lower his head dejectedly, he couldn't bear it. "Since we're at my grandparents' house, let's go in and take a look."

"okay"

"Sister, here he is. I was just about to pick you up. Hey, he's here too." Although the last voice was low, Wen Xi still heard it.

"Let's go and see grandpa and grandma. Have you prepared the snacks I like?" The girl asked in a coquettish voice.

"Needless to say, my second brother has gone to the first floor to buy you Songgui duck." Su Jinxiu looked at Wen Xi proudly after saying this, as if swearing that this was their sister. Wen Xi smiled secretly in his heart, we are still blood relatives, direct relatives, he still couldn't forget the girl who just came back, Wen Jiu who stabbed herself. At that time, Wen Jiu gave him the feeling that she was not an ordinary person at all, or it could be said that she looked down on the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and even sneered. Which one is she,

He was jealous. He had sent people to check on her before, but they could never find her. He also wanted to protect his sister under his wings, but at least not now. He had been pretending for many years to investigate the cause of his mother's death, and he couldn't drag Wenjiu into this vortex. He took these banknotes today to give her money gradually. He didn't dare to give her too much at once, otherwise it would not be in line with the personality of this stupid young master. So he had to come from time to time to show his presence, otherwise, if he continued to endure, what would happen if she no longer had this brother in her heart?

"Grandma, your darling is here," Wen Jiu started shouting before she even entered the door.

"Oh, your grandmother is the only one who is so good, what about me and your aunt?" Qin pulled Zhao and asked angrily.

“It’s all yours”

"That's good." Everyone gathered around Wen Jiu for a while. Wen Xi looked at Wen Jiu who was surrounded by love. He was eager to be loved, but he had never been loved before. He was used to it and adjusted his mentality after a long time.

"Xi'er meets grandmother and two aunts."

"Xi'er is here too, let me come, your grandfather is in the martial arts training ground," the old lady also looked at him with satisfaction.

"Grandma, I brought you something good today, some pills to nourish your body." Wen Jiu took out the wine and gave it to the old lady.

"Thank you my dear, I am in very good health and don't need it, it's a waste"

"But grandma, this is what I spent a lot of time looking for Baizhi to mix, right Baizhi?" Wenjiu quickly asked Baizhi

"Yes, old lady, you must not disappoint the young lady. The young lady has worked so hard for this pill."

"Girl, you've only been obedient for a short while and you're already following her to make me happy. Okay, I'll eat. I'll eat whatever you give me."

Wen Jiu quickly gave the wine to the old lady's personal nanny, asking her to watch the old lady take the medicine, three times a day, two pills each time, and reminding her not to forget and to come find her when she finishes taking the medicine. The nanny looked at the young lady with great seriousness and listened carefully.
