After gathering the seven deadly sins brothers, summon the younger sister!

Chuntao was very clever. She quickly fetched a delicately carved box and respectfully brought it in. Pu Ran took it and opened it happily. She took out a piece and said innocently, "This is a gift from the Marquis. Please have a try, Mother!"

The Queen took it and looked pleased: "Did the Marquis send it specially?"

Bullshit, it wasn't sent by Aochang at all. He hadn't come to see her for a few days for some reason. It was just a play that Puran prepared and told Chuntao to do.

I will use whoever you are afraid of to remind you from time to time.

Arrogance is her best little whip now.

"Yes! The Marquis sent a guard to deliver it to me secretly before I left."

Pu Ran bit the cake and tilted his head to smile: "He didn't come in person, maybe he's shy?"

The queen smiled from ear to ear: "Are you two already so close to each other?"

The little girl blinked, put down the cake, and whispered to the queen under Xie Jinyan's inquiring gaze, covering her mouth with one hand to increase confidentiality:

"I found that the Marquis is very soft-hearted. If I call the immortal, he will be nicer to me."

"I just don't hold back my words. I'm stupid and anyone can be fooled."

"He has been coming to my place quite often recently. Is it because I am forgetful and he feels the atmosphere is relaxed, so he comes here more often?"

Pu Ran, who never told lies, began to tell lies crazily.

The queen laughed so hard that she started to laugh.

"Hey, this is a good thing. The Marquis is willing to get close to others. This is the first time for your brother and I to see him."

It was like getting along with ordinary people, and the queen's attitude was extremely friendly.

Xie Jinyan sat aside without saying a word.

Puran held up the cake again and handed it to him shyly: "Don't be angry. Here, it's for you."

Xie Jinyan deliberately ignored her and said, "I'm not hungry, put it down."

Let your sister go.

"Oh."

She opened her mouth and stuffed it into her stomach.

It's the same whether you put it on the table or in your stomach, so I choose the latter.

Xie Jinyan, who just brushed off Pu Ran's face but didn't feel happy at all: "..."

"oops!"

After Pu Ran's cry, Xie Jinyan no longer had the arrogance he had before. He was now gradually tormented by her and was left with only exhaustion in his heart.

Is it difficult to be honest?

Whether he can choose to start over, he wants to go back to the time when his sister was sleeping in the carriage.

Pu Ran stared at the cakes and rubbed her belly with one hand: "I didn't know where to put it. Mother, what should I do? My brain is really broken and I can't think anymore."

How could I be so stupid!

Hearing her hidden meaning, the queen hurried to coax this precious daughter: "No way, our Wan Ning is innocent and pure beauty who knows nothing about the world."

Puran: “…”

Are you praising me?

Then why can't I be happy?

She blamed herself: "But... my brother won't be angry if I do this, right?"

Xie Jinyan, who was used to seeing the internal fighting among the concubines in the harem: "..."

Why do you sound so harsh?

Xie Jinyan clenched his teeth and squeezed out the words one by one: "I'm not angry."

Puran was happy. He smiled at him and sat back obediently beside the Queen, while he passed the time holding the pastries he had carefully prepared.

When she stopped making a fuss, the two of them felt a little uncomfortable for a while, and the carriage felt cold and awkward.

Xie Jinyan rubbed the ring on his finger with the ball of his thumb, and suddenly stood up and pinched a piece of cake from Pu Ran's food box.

Puran: “!!!”

What are you doing!

Seeing her eyes wide open with dissatisfaction, Xie Jinyan's mood suddenly improved.

He took a bite and looked at the food with a carefree look in his eyes: "My sister has lost her memory. She probably doesn't remember what kind of person the Marquis was in the past."

When he heard that someone was telling a story for free, Pu Ran immediately adjusted his posture and sat upright, holding the food box and signaling with his eyes: Please start your performance.

Xie Jinyan choked again.

My Highness is of noble status. Are you comparing me with the storytellers in the market?

"My Lord, you used to lead your soldiers to fight on the battlefield to defend the territory of Xuanyue."

Pu Ran was stunned, huh?

With Third Senior Brother's obsession with cleanliness, would he be willing to go to a battlefield where the dust is flying and the body is covered in broken limbs and blood?

"The Marquis now holds great power and has great prestige in the court, which was also accumulated through his hard work on the battlefield in the past."

Therefore, Xie Jinyan still finds it difficult to shake his arrogant position over the years.

It’s simply because their real achievements and the people they have won over are there.

The Queen half hugged Pu Ran and said gently: "My Xuan Yue is no longer as powerful as it used to be. At that time, the country was weak and foreign enemies invaded. The whole court was in despair. It was the Marquis who took the initiative to volunteer to lead the troops to fight the enemy."

"He became famous in one battle. Your father wanted to confer him the title of Marquis of Protecting the Nation."

These words made Pu Ran respect the immortals even more.

"But five years ago, during a war with the Qingxuan Kingdom, which was also the last war the Marquis participated in, he disappeared."

Xie Jinyan took over the conversation, lowered his long eyelashes to hide the thoughtfulness in his eyes, and kept fiddling with the jade ring with his fingers.

Pu Ran was surprised: "Missing?"

"Well, he disappeared for three months. When he reappeared, his hair and eye colors had changed, and he looked much different as well."

Xie Jinyan curled his lips: "Do you want to know what happened when he disappeared? You have to ask yourself..."

"Do not want to know."

The four words were decisive and without any emotion.

Xie Jinyan: “???”

Then why did you look so curious that you wanted to get to the bottom of it?

Pu Ran's cheeks were puffed up by the pastries. She had a small face and round eyes. At first glance, she looked like a cute little hamster.

"The fact that he has not yet disclosed it to anyone shows that he is unwilling to say it."

She began to teach Xie Jinyan: "He who knows but does not ask is a true gentleman."

You don't even understand this principle, do you?

How do you read the book?

Xie Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and then his body shook with laughter.

"It seems that the Marquis really has some reasons for liking you."

He pinched another piece of cake and glared in response, which made Xie Jinyan smile.

"We are almost at Hanshan Temple. If you can't finish your meal, I will help you with some."

Pu Ran turned his back to him to protect his food.

The ghost needs your help.

Xie Jinyan stared at her petite figure and raised his eyebrows.

Although there is no trace of the past, it seems not bad?

The carriage drove into the forest path, with lush trees on both sides. Upon closer inspection, one could see a handsome young man sitting high up in the branches, hidden among the layers of leaves.

He has fierce eyes and a murderous look.

There was a bright red blood diamond on his forehead and a ribbon bird perched on his shoulder.

The young man's ten fingers plucked the strings lightly like playing the piano, and the two puppets tied under the silver thread danced gracefully.

He hummed a little tune and watched the carriage go away. A clear voice slowly rang out: "Is the little princess in this carriage my junior sister?"

The ribbon bird on his shoulder tilted its head, and a numb male voice came out: "How should I know?"

Greedy snorted, somewhat teasingly: "I thought you knew everything."

The ribbon bird looked into the distance quietly: "You should be the one who knows everything. Don't you claim to have all the information in the world at your fingertips?"

Greedy curled his lips, a little frustrated: "But I can't find out, little apprentice sister."

"From living with my mother in the village to now, do you think people can really change so much?"

The bird flapped its wings lazily a few times, tilted its head and used its sharp beak to comb its beautiful feathers: "Why bother to delve into it? Everyone has secrets. Aren't all the people in this valley like this?"
