Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart



She did not think much of this before, but since having a daughter, Yuan Xin suddenly felt that the world became a dangerous place.

Yuan Xin would feel extremely worried every time her daughter went on a trip.

Hexin took all of her mother's words to heart.

"Don't worry, Mother. I'm not stupid. I won't let anyone trick me so easily," she promised.

"That's good." Yuan Xin was relieved.

She was actually not particularly worried when it came to this daughter of hers.

Her daughter's character was different from hers and Beitang Rui's. Even though the girl was young, she was quite calm and composed when handling issues, and she was quite reliable even when compared to older girls.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should turn in early," Yuan Xin said as she got up.

"I will. Let me walk you out, Mother." Hexin began to get up as well.

"That's not necessary. It's cold out. Don't go out." Yuan Xin stopped her.

However, Hexin insisted. "I'll just walk you to the door."

"Alright, alright." Yuan Xin had no choice but to give in when she saw how insistent her daughter was.

When they walked out of the room, Hexin was slightly surprised to see someone else walking toward them through the darkness. "Father?"

Beitang Rui walked up the stairs and rubbed her head. "It's late. Hurry up and go to sleep. I'm here to walk your mother back." 

Yuan Xin gave him a coy look. "It's only a few steps away. Who needs your help to walk back?" Despite her complaint, she felt it was sweet of him.

Hexin looked at the smile on her father's face and chuckled quietly.

Beitang Rui was not perturbed. He turned to his daughter and said, "Hurry up and go back in. It's cold at night."

"Alright," Hexin replied, but she was not in a hurry to return to her room. 

Beitang Rui ignored her and placed his arms around his wife's shoulders as they walked down the steps.

Hexin watched her parents walk away into the dark and her heart softened at the sight of them.

What a great relationship her parents had. Even though they had gone through an unhappy patch when they were younger, they still ended up together in the end. They kept by each other's side until today and were very loving to each other.

She leaned against the door for a while before turning around and returning to her room.

A few days later, it was the Yan Kingdom's first Temple Festival.

Yuan Xin submitted a token of authority to the Palace and brought Yaoyao out to visit the Temple Festival.

Beitang You had wanted to bring Yaoyao there personally, but as Yuan Xin and the others were present, he decided to let it be.

However, he insisted on seeing Yaoyao out of the Palace. "Be careful when you're out there. If there is a crowd, don't squeeze with them."

"I know. Don't worry about me. Aunt Xin and the others will be with me. You should go back." Yaoyao insisted. She knew that he still had many things to attend to and did not have much time to waste, but he had taken time out from his busy schedule for her.

"Alright." Beitang You looked at her adoringly and after that, he went to Yuan Xin, who was waiting at the side. He gave her a fist and palm salute as he was the junior.

Yuan Xin was surprised and quickly stopped him. "There is no need to do this, Your Majesty…"

"I'll have to trouble Princess Consort Rui to take care of Yaoyao on my behalf," Beitang You said seriously.

Yuan Xin gave a sigh of relief and replied earnestly, "Don't worry. I will take good care of her. You don't need to worry about this, Your Majesty."

"Thank you." Beitang You gave her a nod and helped Yaoyao up the horse-drawn carriage.

As he watched the carriage drive off, Beitang You suddenly felt a little unsettled. There were too many people at the Temple Festival today and he was a little worried. Aside from having Chen Jin protect Yaoyao, he had arranged for another covert guard to look after Yaoyao in secret.

The matchmaker's temple was in a town about ten miles out of the suburbs. Many men and women would come to the Temple Festival every year to visit the temple and ask about their love life.

The roads were already jammed before they reached the city gates. The streets were filled with carriages and pedestrians.

"There are so many people here today." Yaoyoa pulled open the blinds and took a peek outside.
