"Brother Yu?" A cold female voice came.

They both looked towards the source of the sound at the same time, and saw a woman with her hair tied up high, a jade hairpin and a jade hairpin complementing each other, and white jade beads shining brightly.

She was wearing a purple seven-layer brocade silk gauze dress with a narrow collar and a snow-white fox fur coat, which made her delicate face look as white as jade and flawless as solidified fat.

"Cousin, why are you here?" Feng Qi asked the woman.

"Qian'er, why did you come up here? It's snowing and so cold, and the road is slippery. How can you freeze and bump around?"

Si Ziyu left Feng Qi beside him and immediately walked towards the woman.

Feng Qi looked at the two people in front of him with some disbelief, as if he understood something but also couldn't figure it out.

The woman was actually her second uncle's cousin, and the two of them were so close that they could talk about anything.

The current relationship between her and the prince was almost entirely due to the matchmaking of this cousin.

But looking at the scene in front of him, the two of them were so familiar with each other, and the concern in Si Ziyu's eyes was so dazzling.

"Sister, I don't want to lie to you anymore. Brother Yu and I love each other, and I had to lie to you for Brother Yu's sake. I hope you can forgive me."

Xiao Qianqian took Si Ziyu's arm and looked at Feng Qi. "By the way, there is one more thing I think you need to know."

"What's the matter?" Feng Qi asked subconsciously.

"When I set out from the capital three days ago, letters with enemy countries were found in the general's study. The emperor was furious and ordered the entire Xiao family to be imprisoned in Tianlao for treason and to be executed on a later date! I'm sure their bodies have been dragged to the mass grave by now! It's a pity that they never got to hear you call them grandpa and grandma until they died!" Xiao Qianqian said slowly.

"What? What are you talking about?"

Feng Qi was almost crazy and wanted to pounce over and grab Xiao Qianqian to ask her clearly.

How could this happen… Before she could get close, she was kicked to the ground by Si Ziyu.

"Why? We are family!" Feng Qi asked as he looked at the two people snuggling together.

"Relatives? Haha, what kind of relatives are we? Feng Qi, listen carefully, my grandfather is the current Grand Tutor Yan, and you and I don't have any blood relationship at all." Xiao Qianqian said lightly.

"Master Yan, how could that be? Aren't you the daughter of my second uncle?"

Feng Qi felt that his brain had stopped thinking.

"Feng Qi, I don't know whether to say you are naive or stupid. At the beginning, your grandfather's family really wanted to hold you in the palm of their hands, but you listened to the slander of the villain and refused to come. You don't know how sad the two old people are when they know that you would rather live under someone else's roof than with them! This is how you push everyone in the general's mansion away step by step!"

Xiao Qianqian paused and looked towards the city wall before continuing, "The powerful war god Prince Si Xuan of Dongpeng Kingdom has made concessions for you time and time again, and even today, he is imprisoned for you. But how did you treat this man? Haha."

Si Ziyu looked at the distraught Feng Qi, feeling somewhat reluctant.

Still speaking in a deep voice: "Feng Qi, from the beginning, I knew that you are different from others in the emperor's uncle's heart."

"That's why I tried to get close to you and treat you well. At first, I thought I could win over the emperor's uncle through you and get his support."

"But later on, I found that even if I used you as a restraint, people like the Emperor's uncle would make concessions for you, but they would never be used by me."

"So I can only use you as bait to completely eliminate this big hidden danger!"

Until this moment, Feng Qi finally understood that the scam began from the moment Xiao Qianqian approached him.

Having just lost her loved one, she is very dependent on the appearance of this cousin.

It was because she said at that time that if she lived in the general's mansion, her grandparents would see her every day and it would definitely bring back past memories and make them sad every day.

Feng Qi also felt sorry for the two old people and couldn't bear to make them sad because of herself, so she never returned to the General's Mansion and lived in Prince Xuan's Mansion.

No matter how much she wanted to go back to them at that time, she held back for the sake of their health.

It was so ridiculous to think about it now. Just for this reason, she had never set foot in the general's mansion for all these years.

He never visited his grandparents to fulfill his filial duties for his mother, and gradually distanced himself from the general's mansion.

Looking at Feng Qi, who was like a broken doll, Xiao Qianqian felt very happy.

Before, for the sake of Brother Yu, she always suppressed the jealousy and resentment in her heart and sent those loving letters to Feng Qi. God knows how resentful she was inside.

Fortunately, everything will end today and she no longer has to hide it from anyone.

She and her brother Yu can finally be together openly.

"Do you know why, every time at a banquet, people from the general's mansion would stay away from you?"

Xiao Qianqian seemed very proud and continued: "Because, I told them that you resented them for not being able to stop the Feng family from being wiped out, and resented them for not being able to save your parents, and you didn't want to see them. So when they met you outside, they could only look at you from afar, afraid that you would be sad, and even more afraid that you still resented them."

At this moment, Feng Qi recalled the scenes every time she met people from the General's Mansion. They always hid in the corner and looked at her cautiously.

At that time, she thought that the people in the general's mansion were afraid of seeing her get sad, so they were avoiding her, so it was natural for her to avoid them as well.

How ridiculous! Just like that, she slowly drifted away from the General's Mansion...

"Feng Qi, take a good look at the man under the city wall. He will eventually lose everything for you, even his life!"

Xiao Qianqian seemed to feel that the blow to Feng Qi was not enough.

He continued leisurely, "King Xuan is a nearly mythical existence, but the moment he saved you, everything he had began to slowly disappear."

Feng Qi's heart was already broken at this moment. Si Ziyu's deception and exploitation of her were far less devastating than the bad news from the General's Mansion.

Looking at Xiao Qianqian, he said word by word, "Xiao Qianqian, when you think back to the love your grandparents have shown you, your eldest uncle's family has shown you love, your second uncle and second aunt have shown you kindness in raising you, and your cousins' brotherly love for you, don't you feel a bit guilty? When you wake up in the middle of the night, can you still sleep peacefully?"

As if she had been poked in a sore spot, Xiao Qianqian shouted: "Feng Qi, shut up! This situation is all because of you, no matter the general's mansion or the man under the city wall!"
