Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Back at the rear residence, Wang Xuanhe couldn't help but ask Yuan in front of Mrs. Xue Wang: "Mother, do you think the princess really went to ask His Majesty for a title for me?"

Xue Wang's eyes widened: "Princess?"

"Yes." Yuan took the opportunity to put the credit on He Ke, "Princess He Ke wanted us Xuan He to come to the palace to be her study companion.

“But her sister said that Xuan He’s status was not high enough.

"He Ke had said at the time that he would ask His Majesty to grant Xuan He a status.

"Now it seems that His Majesty can't persuade his daughter, so he took the opportunity to confer titles on the mother's family of the Queen and the Imperial Concubine, and also awarded our Xuanhe the title of Xiangjun!"

Make things round.

Xue Wangshi thought it made sense and smiled: "This is a great event, but it should not be publicized. We just need to keep it in mind!"

Then she patted her chest and assured, "The Emperor is considered a brother-in-law and an outsider, but he treats us Xuan He so well, how can I, an aunt, fall behind?

"When I get back, I will make sure to give the child a meeting gift and a congratulatory gift!"

Yuan laughed and held her aunt's hand tightly. She returned the favor and ordered, "Remember to load the things into Aunt's car later. Don't load them in the wrong place!"

Mrs. Xue Wang smiled so much that her eyes narrowed: "Sister-in-law treats me the best, so I won't refuse."

"In fact, they are all common items from the south, not worth much. It's just that you have been in the capital for a long time, so I got some for you to ease your longing for Jiangnan."

Yuan had done her job perfectly and spoke beautifully. Xue Wangshi was very proud and sat for a while. When Wang Ziteng came to ask about her, she stood up and said goodbye.

Yuan escorted him to the second gate affectionately and said, "Bring Baojie with you when you come next time. I haven't seen you for three or four years. I'm afraid you've forgotten me!"

Mrs. Xue Wang agreed and went.

Wang Xuanhe carefully supported Yuan by her side, feeling confused: If his stepmother really had deep feelings for this little aunt, why didn't he hear her mention her much during his three years in Jiangnan?

Turning back to her room, she caught a glimpse of Wang Xuanhe's expression. Yuan smiled, pulled her back to the bedroom, dismissed the servants, and taught her carefully:

"What do you think of my aunt?"

"She has a good temper, loves her two children very much, and is generous." Wang Xuanhe thought about it and chose the most truthful answer that would be least wrong.

Yuan smiled and nodded: “She is such a person, you are not mistaken.

"Then guess what, if your sister and I had a conflict with her biological sister, Jia Wangshi, who plotted against your sister in Rongguo Mansion, which side would she stand on?"

Wang Xuanhe was startled and waved his hands quickly: "How dare my daughter talk nonsense about such an important matter?"

"I ask you to guess, so just guess. It's just an assumption." Yuan encouraged her.

Wang Xuanhe pursed his lips and carefully probed: "My daughter really can't guess...

"That Jia Wang schemed against my sister four years ago. My aunt has been in Beijing for three or four years, so it's impossible that she hasn't heard about that incident.

"Under such circumstances, she just spoke to my mother and only asked about our family and her children, but she did not tell us about the Wang family or the Jia family. She did not even mention a word about the affairs of Mrs. Jia Wang.

"If she was on our side, how could she not tell mother about what was happening over there?

"But if she was on Jia Wang's side, she would be very trusting and close to her mother and sister, and would not have rejected a single word..."

Yuan touched Wang Xuanhe's head with joy and praised him, "You are such a thoughtful, intelligent and smart kid. No wonder your sister protects you so much!"

Wang Xuanhe blushed: "What did I mean, mother? Am I right?"

"That's right." Yuan slightly restrained her smile, her eyes were light, "She doesn't support anyone, not even her second brother, and the Xue family.

“She only cared about herself and her two children.

"She will side with whoever can bring her wealth and honor, and keep her two children safe and happy.

"For such a person, her interests are the most important. So, if you want to use her, it's fine, but you have to control her well and not give her the chance to turn against you."

Wang Xuanhe seemed to be thinking: "Sister seems to treat her very well?"

"That's right." Yuan smiled and embraced Wang Xuanhe, saying softly, "The Wang family and the Jia family had no good intentions towards your sister before.

“But if we really fall out with these two families, then your sister’s life in the capital will depend entirely on the emperor.

“Putting all your treasures on a man is the most undesirable behavior, no matter who that man is.

"Therefore, your sister treated Mrs. Xue Wang very well. As we wished, she became the bridge of communication between our family and your sister."

Wang Xuanhe's face turned red unconsciously, and he said softly: "He'er, remember this. Even if I get married in the future, my parents' home is still my root."

"No." Yuan shook her head and lovingly brushed away the loose hair on her forehead, "Your roots are only you.

"He'er, no matter how much your foster father loves you, he can never surpass your brother.

“No matter how well I treat you, if you ever get into a fight with your sister, I will only stand on your sister’s side.

“As for others, it’s even more so.

“So, mother and your adoptive father will teach you enough skills to protect yourself—just like we taught your sister nine years ago.

"No one can take this ability away from you. And this ability will also allow you to live well no matter what situation you are in, as long as you want."

Wang Xuanhe's face turned from blushing to pale, and then flashed with a strange light. Finally, he burst into tears and threw himself into Yuan's arms:

"Mom, why don't you just lie to me? Back then, the Qin family just lied to me, and I worked like a slave for them!"

"You are a good child. It's not your fault that you have a miserable life." Yuan also had tears in her eyes. She held her little face and whispered,

“If you hadn’t been around for the past few years, your foster father and I would have lost our spirits long ago.

“Especially your stepfather. You saw it when you first arrived. He was so disheartened that he even didn’t want to care about your brother anymore.

“But now you’re here, kind and gentle, attentive and thoughtful, and your stepfather and I are really like having another daughter.

"My husband and I finally pulled ourselves together, figured out what was going on at home, cleaned up the mess, and started living our lives again.

"Good boy, you are my husband and I's savior!

"He'er, your mother may not be able to treat you with all her heart as she did your sister; but if risking her own life can bring you peace and happiness for the rest of your life, then your mother is willing to do so.

“I’m not lying to you.

"Just like I wouldn't lie to your sister back then."

Wang Xuanhe cried so hard that she couldn't even lift her head. She just hugged Yuan tightly and said, "Mom, you and my adoptive father are my biological parents!

"I don't want anything to happen to you, and I don't want you to risk your life to protect me!

"My last name is Wang, my name is Wang Xuanhe, I am the youngest daughter of the Wang family's eldest son, my brother is Wang Ren, and my sister is Wang Xifeng!

"No matter who I am or what I encounter in the future, I am Wang Xuanhe! Just Wang Xuanhe!

"You lied to me!

“I want you to lie to me!

"I just want to be a fool, be deceived and coaxed, and live a happy life without any heart or soul!"
