Chapter 18 Princess Huanzhu Xiaoyanzi 17

As for Liu Qing, before Liu Hong could speak first, he expressed his doubts, "Liu Hong, have you liked Xiao Jian for a long time?"

When Liu Qing went to bed at night, he recalled what happened after he met Xiao Jian. On the way from the capital to Dali, Liu Hong's eyes always stayed on Xiao Jian intentionally or unintentionally.

His attention was on Xiaoyanzi at that time, but occasionally he noticed Liu Hong's gaze towards Xiao Jian.

He didn't think about it that way at the time, but now he thinks that Liu Hong might have developed a liking for Xiao Jian at that time.

Yes, Xiao Jian is gentle, elegant, and unrestrained. If he were a woman, she would also like such a man.

Liu Hong was struck by what Liu Qing was thinking and lowered her head shyly.

It was obvious that he had hit the mark.

"If you want to say that you want to be with Xiao Jian, I have no objection, and Xiao Yanzi has no objection either. Just make your own decision. I will always support your decision!"

"Brother, thank you!" Liu Hong raised her head with a slightly red face.

Liu Qing raised his hand and patted her shoulder, "Why thank me? It's all my duty!"

At night, Xiaoyanzi touched her belly which was not yet visible and sighed: "I never thought that Liu Hong would become my sister-in-law!"

"Yeah, I didn't think about it either. When our child is born, should we call her Aunt Liu Hong or Auntie?"

Before the child was born, Liu Qing began to worry about the name.

"Let the children scream whatever they want! We won't separate them because of this, right?" Xiaoyanzi covered her mouth and yawned, then moved into Liu Qing's arms.

"Besides, I like Liu Hong very much. It would be great if she could be with my brother. We will never be separated again!"

Xiaoyanzi remembered what she said when she just came back.

Liu Qing also remembered what Xiaoyanzi said. He hugged Xiaoyanzi tightly in his arms and rested his chin on her forehead. "Yes, now we are going to be a family again, and we will never be separated again!"

After saying that, Liu Qing kissed Xiaoyanzi on the forehead affectionately. Then he looked down and found that Xiaoyanzi had fallen asleep in his arms.

Three years passed in a flash. During this time, Xiao Yanzi's eldest son Liu Yi was already three years old. Liu Hong and Xiao Jian got married two years ago, and their son Fang Haoqi was just one and a half years old.

After Xiao Jian and Liu Hong got married, they moved next door to Liu Qing and his family and became neighbors.

After that, the two families discussed and opened a door in the wall that separated the two houses. In this way, if there was any problem, they could just shout and someone from the neighboring house would come.

That night, after the family coaxed their child to sleep, they went to Xiao Jian's living room to discuss things.

As soon as everyone sat down, Xiao Jian announced a piece of news.

He planned to take Xiaoyanzi to worship his parents in a few days, and Liu Qing and Liu Hong would stay at home to take care of the business and the two children.

There was complete silence after Xiao Jian announced the news. When Liu Qing realized that Xiao Jian did not intend to take him with him, he immediately expressed his desire to go as well.

"I'll go too! We don't know what we'll encounter along the way, so it'll be safer with one more person. Liu Hong will take care of the children at home, and we can hire the shopkeeper for business matters."

Liu Qing knew that they would not be able to return for at least three or four months. On the one hand, he was worried about their situation on the road, and on the other hand, he did not want to be separated from Xiaoyanzi for so long.

Liu Hong nodded and agreed, "Yes, let my brother go with me, otherwise I will be worried! You don't have to worry about the family, just leave the children with me."

Liu Hong and Xiao Jian's child is only one and a half years old and cannot be left alone. Even if she wanted to go with them, she would be worried about the child. It would be better for her to stay at home to take care of the two children and let her brother go with them.

As for Xiao Jian and Xiao Yanzi's parents, after Xiao Jian married Liu Hong, he told them everything about his family without reservation.

Liu Hong was extremely distressed when she learned that Xiao Jian had been carrying the heavy truth for so many years and had given up on revenge after finding Xiao Yanzi.

Now that Xiao Jian wants to take Xiao Yanzi back to worship his parents, she would not refuse for any reason.

Seeing that Liu Hong asked him to take Liu Qing with him, and Xiao Yanzi hugged Liu Qing's arm and nodded in agreement, Xiao Jian had no choice but to agree.

Because they had children at home, they planned to go back quickly. This time they would not take a carriage, but ride horses.

In the past two years, Xiaoyanzi's martial arts skills have greatly improved under Xiao Jian's guidance. She also learned how to ride a horse with Xiao Jian.

Two days later, the three men each rode a horse and left Dali, galloping all the way.

As they were about to enter Shandong, the three men discovered that there was a famine here, and it looked like it would not last long, yet the government had not even arranged anyone to provide disaster relief.

The three of them were kind-hearted people. Seeing that the refugees around them were so hungry that they could not even walk, they shared some food they had with them with the refugees around them.

After their inquiry, they learned that they had heard that the government had sent people to provide disaster relief. However, the news disappeared after a few days, and they did not know whether it was true or not.

The three of them looked at each other and felt that there might be something fishy going on here.

"Brother, let's investigate. If someone embezzled the relief money, expose him! And give these disaster victims a chance to live." Xiaoyanzi knew that the person who embezzled the relief money was their real enemy, Shandong Governor Shifangzhou.

In order to gain merit, Shi Fangzhou falsely accused their parents of writing anti-government poems, and beheaded their father without waiting for someone from above to investigate. Their mother could not accept the death of her father and committed suicide at home.

She couldn't tell the truth directly because she couldn't explain the source. This was a good opportunity to investigate Fang Zhou and clear her father's name.

As soon as Xiaoyanzi said this, Liu Qing nodded in agreement. He had been hungry since he was a child and knew the feeling of being hungry. He really couldn't ignore the victims who were dying of hunger and cold.

"Yes, let's investigate. If there is a rat, bring him to justice!"

Seeing that Xiao Yanzi and the other person had made a decision, Xiao Jian also agreed.

"Okay! But we need to investigate first!"

The three of them went into Shandong and conducted separate investigations, and found that the capital had sent people to escort the disaster relief silver a few months ago. However, after the silver entered the governor's office, there was no further news.

"The governor must have embezzled this money!" Xiaoyanzi said bluntly.

Xiao Jian looked at the governor's office from afar and nodded imperceptibly, "Then you stay at the inn tonight, I'll go check out the situation!"

"Do you want me to meet you outside?" Liu Qing knew that his skills were not as good as Xiao Jian's, so he didn't force himself to go in with him and offered to meet him outside.

Xiaoyanzi is also very self-aware. Although her martial arts have improved a lot in the past two years, she is still no match for Xiao Jian, so she won't hold him back.

"Then Liu Qing, come with me, and you can meet me outside. As for Xiaoyanzi, you can wait for us at the inn. Whether I am discovered or not, I will definitely be back before dawn!"
