Chapter 2 Thinking differently

Princess Rouping kept wiping her tears, looking at Xuan Bao lying with bloodless face and eyes tightly closed, her whole heart twitched.

Aunt Ying went up, lowered her voice, and told Princess Rouping the details about the poems of the Wang family and his wife that the servant had heard.

"You personally take the marquis's token and tell the county magistrate that it is a good time to entertain the couple. I want them to feel the sin my daughter has suffered every day." Princess Rouping said sternly.

When Xuan Bao woke up, he was already on the carriage returning to Beijing.

Princess Rouping clasped her hands together and said in surprise: "God bless you, you finally woke up."

Aunt Ying brought water and fed Xuan Bao some light white porridge. She felt her belly was full and her body was warm, and she woke up completely.

"My dear, you slept for three days and three nights, which scared my mother to death." Princess Rouping sat down next to Xuan Bao.

"I'm not a baby." Xuan Bao lowered his little head, "I am Xuan Bao. The old Taoist master said he snatched me from the wild monkeys in Duanxuan Valley, but everyone in the village said I was an unwanted child."

"You are not an unwanted child. It was my mother's fault that I lost you." Princess Rouping's eyes turned red.

Xuan Bao suddenly raised his head, his face full of hope: "You are really my mother, you won't admit your mistake, right?"

"It's not wrong. Mother recognizes the birthmark on your arm and the red mole on your waist. It's all your fault that she came late and you suffered." Princess Rouping burst into tears.

Raising her hand to touch the wound, the little doll frowned in pain, but she instantly smiled brightly.

Gently wiping Princess Rouping's tears with her little hands, Xuanbao said obediently: "Mother, don't cry, don't cry, I don't blame you."

Xuan Bao was held in the arms of Princess Rouping and felt unprecedented warmth. She was so happy that she finally had a mother and was no longer alone.

"Mother, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang?" When mentioning the two of them, Xuan Bao's little body was trembling, obviously he was very scared.

"They both have received the punishment they deserve." Even with her biological daughter in her arms, Princess Rouping could not hide her hatred for the Wang family and his wife.

Xuan Bao hesitated for a moment and then said timidly: "Mother, my sister in the abandoned well in the Wang family's backyard is so pitiful. She was sunk into the well after her death, and her soul was trapped inside and could not be reincarnated. Can you please ask someone to fish her out?"

Seeing the shock on his mother's face, Xuanbao stretched out his little finger and explained: "I learned a little bit from the old Taoist master."

"Princess, my lady's experienced master may be an expert." Aunt Ying is older and has more experience. "Why don't we summon the county magistrate? If the Wang family is really involved in the murder case, they should be dealt with according to the law."

Princess Rouping nodded in agreement. According to the clues provided by Xuan Bao, Wang Dexing and his wife were soon executed for seeking wealth and murder. This is a story later.

In the hall of Anhou Mansion in the capital city, the twin brothers, the fourth son Xiao Keyi and the fifth son Xiao Keli, were helpless around their six-year-old sister Xiao Mingzhu. The second son Xiao Kexiao, who was sitting next to him, let out a long sigh.

Xiao Mingzhu, who was wearing a new pink dress, did not look festive at all. Her eyes were filled with tears but she was holding back the tears. Her aggrieved look made her brothers feel very sad.

Five years ago, the serious Miss Hou Mansion disappeared after she was born, which caused pain in the hearts of the Xiao family.

Three years ago, three-year-old Xiao Mingzhu was adopted by the Xiao family and became the sixth young lady of the Hou family. Everyone transferred their love to her, especially the five young masters, who really doted on her as their own sister.

A few days ago, I received a message from Princess Rouping, saying that her biological daughter had been found.

Princess Rouping and the others are about to return to the mansion today. It was originally the fifth brother Xiao Keli's turn to accompany Xiao Mingzhu, but the fourth brother Xiao Keyi also specifically asked for leave from the academy to stay in the mansion.

"The road is full of dust and dust. It's so hard, but I don't know if my mother's body can bear it?" Xiao Mingzhu muttered in a low voice, but the voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough to reach everyone's ears.

The brothers disagreed with the mother's insistence on searching for the person in person, because she was in poor health and could only leave the house a handful of times a year. The journey this time was long, but she still ignored the advice and left without hesitation.

Xiao Keli said angrily: "My mother's health problems were caused by her in the first place. This time I am messing around for her sake."

Everyone here knows that "she" refers to the sister who is coming.

Although they were born at the same time, Xiao Keli was the youngest son. Before Xiao Mingzhu came, he was the youngest and the most favored.

At the beginning, Xiao Keli really wanted to have a sister, so he was willing to give up his position, but this did not prevent him from understanding Xiao Mingzhu's mood at the moment.

"Bang!" Xiao Keyi's fist hit the coffee table, making a sound, "I really don't know what my mother is thinking. Isn't it okay to live a good life like this?"

Xiao Mingzhu's eyes flashed with light and she felt a little calmer. At least her fourth and fifth brothers were her strongest supporters.

Although Xiao Keyi and Xiao Keli, two fifteen-year-old boys, are twins, they have very different personalities.

The older one is irritable and the younger one is gloomy, but they have noble status and have the support of three elder brothers behind them. They are notoriously difficult to get along with among the aristocratic circles in the capital.

After thinking about it, Xiao Mingzhu gently pulled Xiao Keli's sleeve and said aggrievedly: "Fifth brother, do you think my mother will not want me anymore when she comes back?"

"Mom likes you so much and won't let you go." Xiao Keli comforted her.

After the coughing sounded, the second young master Xiao Ke Xiaocai said weakly: "Mingzhu, you are overthinking. She is our sister, and you are also our sister."

Xiao Mingzhu pouted unhappily when she heard this. Her second brother had already recognized her before she even met her. When she raised her head again, her eyes were red again.

Perhaps because he has been sick and trapped in his house all year round, the nineteen-year-old Xiao Kexiao is more sensitive and can better understand people's thoughts.

Xiao Kexiao could see Xiao Mingzhu's thoughts clearly, and he could only sigh silently, why did she get into trouble?

Xiao Kexiao knew very well that whether he accepted it or not, the coming woman would be his only sister by blood.

"Second brother, please stop saying a few words." Xiao Keyi glared displeased, "We have sister Mingzhu, so we don't care about her. Mother even specially told her in the letter to treat her well, she is nothing..."

"Fourth brother." Xiao Keli interrupted Xiao Keyi.

Following Xiao Keli's gaze and looking at Xiao Mingzhu, Xiao Keyi quickly said, "Sister, don't take it to heart. I only have you as my sister, so it doesn't necessarily mean whose sister you are from the country!"

She lowered her head to hide the hatred that did not belong to her age flashed in Xiao Mingzhu's eyes. Normally, her mother always said she loved her the most, but as soon as there was news about her biological daughter, she abandoned her and couldn't wait to find her.

At the moment, it seems that the other brothers are all on his side, but the second brother is not very reliable.

But it doesn't matter, Xiao Kexiao is a sick boy anyway, and he is also the most useless among the brothers. Xiao Mingzhu actually doesn't care about him that much.
