Wen Jiaojiao had dinner with her aunt and her family in the main hall. They were one family, so there was an extra uncle.
To be honest, Wen Jiaojiao was still a little afraid of this uncle, probably because of his unruffled aura.
In his early years, Xiao Yan was also a general who fought on the battlefield. Now that he is the Duke of the country, he still trains his troops and horses every day. He has a murderous aura unique to soldiers.
However, this uncle still looks very similar to Sister Qingyu, especially the eyebrows.
"Since Jiao Jiao has returned to the Xiao family, she should stay here longer and don't stay bored in the palace all day."
Hearing Xiao Yan talking to herself, Wen Jiaojiao nodded obediently.
Mei Shiniang scooped a bowl of soup for Wen Jiaojiao and put it in front of her, jokingly saying: "Oh, why did Jiaojiao suddenly become so good in front of your uncle? When you were a child, you and Xuanan demolished your uncle's study."
Whenever Xiao Xuanan was beaten when he was a child, Wen Jiaojiao would "retaliate" against this uncle, either by making his study a mess, hiding his sword, or putting something with a strange smell in his clothes.
The spices can't be washed off even after half a day.
Wen Jiaojiao coughed awkwardly, glanced at his uncle and said, "I've always been very good, haven't I?"
After saying that, Wen Jiaojiao kicked Xiao Xuanan under the table, "Yes, second brother."
Xiao Xuanan smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Yue'er is the most well-behaved."
Xiao Yan snorted, "If you hadn't been able to stop beating me, I would have beaten you several times just for what you did, little skinny monkey."
Wen Jiaojiao stuck out his tongue and said, "Uncle is reluctant to hit me."
In Wen Ruyue's memory, Xiao Yan took her with her every day when she was a child. Even when Wen Ruyue was not in good health, he made her a small wooden sword and taught her the moves to amuse her.
When she was in good health, he took her to the military camp outside the city to watch him train.
Wen Jiaojiao felt that this uncle was more like her father than his father, who had almost no presence.
After dinner, Wen Jiaojiao sat with his uncle and aunt and talked. He told them some trivial matters about Sister Qingyu and Zhao Yan in the palace. They all listened very seriously.
After all, one is their daughter and the other is their grandson, and they rarely meet each other on weekdays.
After chatting for a while and seeing that it was not too early, her uncle asked her to go back and rest.
Seeing Xiao Xuanan follow him, Xiao Yan gave him a slightly warning look.
As soon as the two children left, Mei Shiniang pulled Xiao Yan and asked, "Why did you ask Erlang to go back to Yunzhou tomorrow? Is there something urgent?"
Xiao Yan looked at his wife and asked, "Didn't you see it?"
"What do you see?"
Mei Shiniang was stunned, looked at the direction in which Wen Jiaojiao and Xiao Xuanan were leaving, and said after a while: "You mean these two children..."
Then, Mei Shiniang clapped her hands and said, "Isn't this a good thing? You don't have to worry about finding another husband's family for Jiao Jiao, just marry her into your own family."
After saying that, Mei Shiniang looked doubtful again: "But I see that they get along quite normally, just like before."
Xiao Yan drank tea and looked at his wife, whose expressions changed several times in just a few moments.
"You look the same, because only Erlang is moved, and Jiao Jiao is still there stupidly and doesn't know anything."
Mei Shiniang looked stunned, "By the way, I looked at Jiao Jiao as if nothing was wrong, so you wouldn't rush Er Lang to Yunzhou. The two of them have been childhood sweethearts, and maybe they will have feelings for each other in the future.
.”
Even though she said this, Mei Shiniang didn't know for sure. The two children grew up under their own eyes, and they knew best what their personalities were.
"I'm afraid Jiao Jiao won't be able to wait until she develops feelings for Xuan An."
Xiao Yan no longer hid the secret from Mei Shiniang and told her about Jiao Jiao's body.
Mei Shiniang fell on the stool and said in shock: "Is there no other way? Jiaojiao...she is only a teenager."
Xiao Yan: "We are already thinking of a solution. My second brother and I are looking for doctors who can cure Jiao Jiao's illness, but the best doctors in the world are all in the palace. The rest can only depend on fate."
Wen Jiaojiao returned to the courtyard and stayed for a while, and found that Xiao Xuanan's room was not lit. After asking, he found out that he was staying in the courtyard of his uncle Xiao Yan today.
That's okay. Although they are brother and sister, after all, they are almost adults, so it is really not appropriate for them to live together.
At night, Wen Jiaojiao was sitting on the couch and carving with a piece of wood. She discovered that she also liked Wen Ruyue's hobby. She would carve a piece of wood with her whenever she had nothing to do.
Suddenly, Wen Jiaojiao heard two crisp sounds outside his window.
Wen Jiaojiao was startled and stopped what he was doing. After a while, there were two sounds, as if someone was knocking on his window.
Nothing happened today. Wen Jiaojiao asked Yuzhu and Fengxin to go to bed. Wen Jiaojiao was a little timid, but this was in the Xiao Mansion. There were usually soldiers patrolling and guarding, so no one would dare to break in.
.
Just knowing that no one would break in, Wen Jiaojiao began to feel a little scared. If it wasn't a person, it would be something else.
The window rang again, and Wen Jiaojiao was startled and asked: "Who?"
It couldn't be the second brother, he wouldn't play such a prank on her.
"Little Moon, it's me."
Wen Jiaojiao's eyes widened when she heard this familiar voice with an accent. As soon as she opened the window, a big head poked in.
"Que Wu?! How did you get in?"
Que Wu grinned at Wen Jiaojiao, "You came in over the wall."
"You climbed over the wall of the Duke's palace?"
Que Wu: "Didn't I tell you that I'm going to climb over the wall and steal people?"
Wen Jiaojiao's face felt hot and he pushed his face outward: "Who are you stealing from? Who wants to steal from you!"
Que Wu smiled and said: "Of course I am the one stealing people. Little Moon, come back to Salo with me."
