Xiao Jiu seemed unable to see Xiao Tianyao's stiffness, nor could feel the coldness on Xiao Tianyao's body. He hugged Xiao Tianyao's neck and refused to let go. No matter how much Hua Jinrong coaxed him, he refused to let go. He just relied on Xiao Tianyao.
Xiao Tianyao had never held a child before, and he didn't know that the child was so clingy. He hugged the young master with stiff arms and silently asked Lin Chujiu for help, but……
Lin Chujiu was a heartless person. She completely ignored Xiao Tianyao's look for help and chatted with Hua Jinrong. At first, Hua Jinrong was worried that her younger brother would be rude and make Xiao Tianyao unhappy. When he saw Lin Chujiu watching the show on the side, he also ignored Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jiu, letting the two men, one big and one small, stare at each other.
Hua Jinrong asked Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu to join them for lunch. The two wanted to refuse, but as soon as they said they wanted to leave, Xiao Jiu hugged Xiao Tianyao's thigh with tears in his eyes, as if he wanted to cry.
Xiao Tianyao is not a soft-hearted person, but he can't help but feel soft-hearted towards Xiao Jiu's pitiful look.
After lunch, Xiao Jiu still held Xiao Tianyao tightly. When Xiao Tianyao was at a loss, Hua Jinrong saved him. contemporary romance
“Don’t worry, Prince Xiao. Xiao Jiu usually takes a nap after lunch.”
Children's drowsiness came on time. Not long after Hua Jinrong finished speaking, Xiao Jiu started to feel drowsy, looking pitifully sleepy but unable to sleep.
Seeing Xiao Jiu's appearance, Xiao Tianyao's mood, which had been depressed all morning, finally improved.
Seeing this, the wet nurse hurriedly took Xiao Jiu from Xiao Tianyao's hand, but she didn't expect Xiao Jiu to be so domineering and would not let go of Xiao Tianyao's sleeves even when he fell asleep.
“My brother likes you.” Hua Jinrong stepped forward and pried off Xiao Jiu's fingers one by one, feeling extremely sad.
Since Xiao Jiu was found after he got lost, the whole family has treated him with utmost care, but Xiao Jiu was not close to anyone. They thought Xiao Jiu had this temperament, so they didn't expect him would be like this when he met Xiao Tianyao.
Hearing Hua Jinrong’s sour words, Xiao Tianyao snorted and said nothing.
He was not a fish, so how can he know the suffering of fish? But he doesn’t want to treat Xiao Jiu differently at all, okay?
Without Xiao Jiu, Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu no longer stayed, and the two of them said goodbye and left.
As soon as the two left, the headmaster of the Hua Family asked Hua Jinrong about their situation. When he learned that the two were thinking about the Eldest Prince, the headmaster of the Hua family immediately said: "Tell them that they owe the eldest prince this favor. Our Hua family will help them pay it back, let him not worry about it, and go back to see the Emperor as soon as possible."
It was necessary to see the Emperor as soon as possible. As for going back?
This was not urgent, as long as people were still in the Central Empire, they had plenty of ways to keep them.
“Father, why are you too kind to Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu?” Hua Jinrong frowned upon seeing this.
He was not a fool. His father's abnormality makes him suspicious.
The headmaster of the Hua family knows his son very well. If he doesn't speak clearly, this matter will not be easy to handle.
"You also know the situation of the eldest son of the Dongyang family. I heard that Lin Chujiu has extraordinary medical skills and learned from experts. The Dongyang family wants to sell Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao a favor, and then ask Lin Chujiu to treat the eldest son. It would be best if they could meet Lin Chujiu's master." This was true, but the headmaster of the Hua family didn't tell all the Dongyang family's thoughts.
When Hua Jinrong heard this, he immediately smiled: "Father, you think of people too complicatedly. Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu are not from aristocratic families like ours. They don't need these roundabout ways. If you want their help, just ask them directly. I'm sure if they can help, they will help, but if they cannot help, they will refuse.”
Hua Jinrong did not raise any suspicion. This was how people from the imperial family did things. Everything must be convoluted so that no one can understand what they were thinking.
“If you speak directly, I’m afraid they won’t do their best.” Moreover, if the treatment is not good, the subsequent problems will be difficult to deal with. The Dongyang Family does not want to use coercion at the beginning.
"No, if there is an opportunity to do the Dongyang Family a favor, I think Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu will do their best based on their cleverness." Hua Jinrong has dealt with Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu a few times. However, even though he doesn’t know them very well, he still has a very clear understanding of their behavior.
"Okay, but we still have to help with the Eldest Prince's matter. According to Xiao Tianyao, the Third Prince may be in trouble this time." The aristocratic family does not take sides among the princes, but if it would be beneficial, the aristocratic family doesn't mind temporarily cooperating with a certain prince.
With the words of the headmaster and the help of the Dongyang family, the Emperor announced the next day that the time for the Eldest Prince to think about his past was over.
Less than seven days have passed. This can be regarded as the shortest time for the Eldest Prince to think about his mistakes. When the Eldest Prince finished thinking about his mistakes, the first thing he did was to go to the palace to express his gratitude. By the way, he wanted to find out the news why did the Dongyang Family and the Hua Family help him?
This inquiry made the Eldest Prince feel depressed and puzzled. The Central Empire was his territory, so why did he have to rely on Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu in the end to lift his confinement?
No, these were not important. What was important is why the Hua Family and the Dongyang Family would help Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu for his sake.
The Eldest Prince was extremely puzzled. As soon as he left the palace, he went to the inn to find Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu. When he told the news he had found, Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu also fell silent.
"What do the Hua Family and the Dongyang Family mean? Even if I want to repay you for saving the Ninth Young Master, you don't have to repay it multiple times, right?" Seeing that the two of them were silent, the Eldest Prince couldn't help but ask again.
The practices of the Hua Family and the Dongyang Family were really hard to see through.
"What is there in you that is worthy of their attention?" The Eldest Prince didn't believe that the Hua Family was trying to repay a favor. The members of the aristocratic family were smarter than ghosts. They would never make a loss-making business. After paying so much, they must be planning to ask for more.
"I don't know, no matter what they want to do, they will do it." Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao had long felt that something was amiss, but even if they noticed it, so what? The Hua Family and the Dongyang Family would still do whatever they wanted to do, and they couldn't stop them.
Seeing that Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu didn't know anything, the Eldest Prince couldn't help but remind him: "You should be careful and avoid dealing with the Dongyang Family and the Hua Family in the future. The aristocratic families are all a bunch of people who eat people without spitting out their bones. Don't believe them easily just because they treat you well"
Over the years, the Eldest Prince has seen too many people like this. The aristocratic family pretends to be courteous and virtuous to the group of masters who work for them. With the heroic attitude of a soldier, they were willing to die for them, little did they know they were just fooled.
"Forget it, it's useless to say this. This is the Central Empire. You can't resist whatever the Dongyang Family and the Hua Family want to do." The Eldest Prince also thought of this and couldn't help but feel a little irritable: "I will go to the palace tomorrow to meet my Imperial Father. I hope he solves your matters so that you can go back as soon as possible."
In the Central Empire, not only Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu can’t stop what the noble family wants to do, but even he can’t stop it.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to leave soon." Xiao Tianyao heard the Eldest Prince's words but didn't give him any hope.
Since the goals of the Hua Family and Dongyang Families were theirs, they would not allow them to leave the Central Empire until their goals were achieved……
