When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

The three of them played around until noon, had their meal, snacks and tea, then Qin Lingruo and Xia Xueyao got up and prepared to leave.

"Now that I know you are fine, I feel relieved. I don't have to feel guilty in front of my brother. I only have a few hours to leave the palace today. I can't delay any longer. I have to go back now."

Xu Xianyue stood up to see him off, "In that case, Ling'er, next time you leave the palace, I will definitely take you out for a good ride."

"It's settled. I'll be leaving now."

After seeing the two of them off to their respective carriages at the gate of Xu's house until they were far away, Xu Xinyue saw that it was still early, so she decided to go to Yangchun Bookstore.

When Xu Xinyue arrived at Yangchun Bookstore by carriage, Shopkeeper Wang was busy directing the replenishment of books: "Are there any in stock? There aren't many left? Move them all out today. There are still a lot of books left from last month. Hurry up and replenish them in a prominent position!"

Seeing them like this, Xu Xinyue couldn't help but chuckle, "Manager Wang, it looks like business is good!"

Shopkeeper Wang turned around when he heard the voice, his face full of smiles, even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes gathered together, and he came forward with a chuckle: "Master is here, you don't know, since we adopted your method, the number of visitors has more than doubled, and a lot of previous stocks have been sold in recent days! If this method is used for a long time, our bookstore will be a big hit!"

Xu Xianyue lifted her skirt and stepped into the door:

"No, although this can attract visitors, it can only be used temporarily. Visitors come to our place frequently recently just because they are curious about the new things. If this continues for a long time, the actual loss will be a considerable amount.

However, Shopkeeper Wang can consider launching some similar initiatives during the festival period, like the restaurant dishes, as appropriate. The duration should not be too long, and I think it will have a certain effect.

As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable. "

"Miss, you are right. This is the account book for the recent days. The revenue status is all here..."

"Manager Wang, have you returned the money that Master Qi used to compensate him?"

Shopkeeper Wang was a little hesitant at this time. He took out his sweat towel to wipe his forehead to cover it up, not knowing how to answer.

"Haven't you apologized to him yet? Or, he doesn't accept it and wants more?"

"No... Master, it's... I haven't seen him recently. How can I pay him back..."

"Don't you know where he lives now? We haven't even seen him at Qiulu Bookstore?"

"To be honest, Master, I haven't seen him since that incident. I asked other bookstore owners about him and found out that he hasn't taken over any storybook business recently... I really don't know where to find him..."

Shopkeeper Wang's eyes were full of sincerity, and it seemed that just as he said, he was worried about not knowing where to find Qi Mobai, and he rubbed his hands nervously.

"Well, I'll go ask Uncle Zhang..."

She always felt that Qi Mobai seemed to be avoiding her on purpose since then, as if he knew her apology but was not going to accept it...

"After all, we were the first to let him down..."

Xu Xinyue stared at the customers coming and going in the store in a trance, muttering to herself.

"Master, there is a guest over there. It seems that he has been looking at you... Do you recognize him?"

Xu Xinyue glanced sideways and saw a man who was about thirty years old, dressed in martial arts clothes, standing tall at the door, staring at her in a daze.

Xu Xinyue took a closer look and recognized the man. It was the newly appointed Duke of Zhenguo—He Xuehuai.

Because of He Yunyin, Xu Xinyue didn't have much of a favorable impression of He Xuehuai.

She guessed that he might have come here specifically to make the decision for He Yunyin.

Xu Xinyue doesn't cause trouble, but she is not afraid of those who come to cause trouble.

With a stern look on his face and a solemn expression, he took a few steps towards him, displaying what he thought was his strongest aura.

"Zhen... Mr. He! Why are you here, and what do you want?"

While He Xuehuai was in a daze, Xu Xinyue was already close to him. His wandering thoughts returned to reality as he looked at this face that was 70% similar to his closest relative.

"Miss Xu...can we talk somewhere else?"

"...Talk? What's there to do between you and me..." Before he could finish, He Xuehuai took something out of his arms, spread it on his palm and showed it to her.

Xu Xinyue stared at the object in his hand in shock, looked up at him in disbelief for a long while, and slowly frowned:

"...Where shall we talk?"

Bixiao Tower

"Duke Zhenguo, can you tell me now why you have this dice?"

Xu Xinyue was full of curiosity towards him at this moment, and looked at the person in front of her with covered eyes.

"You gave this to me, don't you remember?"

He Xuehuai smiled and answered in a low voice.

Although he is nearly thirty years old, his handsome face still cannot conceal the passion and heroic spirit of his youth.

Looking closely, there is a sense of familiarity...

This dice was clearly thrown in the wild arena...

"It's you! You are the man in the wild fighting field! You are actually the Duke of Zhenguo!? You..."

She had so many questions but didn't know where to start, so she just picked the simplest one: "What is your purpose in looking for me?"

"I don't have any purpose, Yueyue, I am your uncle."

Xu Xinyue was a little confused by this sudden sentence: How come she could understand each word individually, but couldn't understand them when they were put together?

Her mother had passed away many years ago, and no one from her mother's family had come to look for her in more than ten years. How come, overnight, she had an...uncle?

Isn’t he He Yunyin’s cousin?

If he is also her uncle, then she is... and she and He Yunyin are...

"You, you wait a moment... I, I'll smooth it out..."

Xu Xinyue raised her hand to stop his next "shocking" speech, and thought to herself...

My mother’s name is Xue Nian, and his name is He Xue Huai... Xue Huai... Xue Nian... So, my mother’s real name should be - He Xue Nian!

He is the Duke of Zhenguo of the He family, and my mother is a blood relative of the Duke of Zhenguo...so he is also her uncle!

Then doesn't that mean she and He Yunyin are a family!

Xu Xinyue didn't interact with many Kyoto ladies, and He Yunyin was one of the few who annoyed her.

This world is really so small. Somehow, it is inextricably linked to He Yunyin...

After figuring out this result, Xu Xinyue felt as if struck by lightning, as if she had swallowed a fly. Her expression was complicated and she looked at He Xuehuai with an indescribable look.

This uncle, I don't want to recognize him...
