PFC Chapter 320 Prince Yan, Xiao Yan
Chapter 320 Prince Yan, Xiao Yan
"I'm sorry, Mother, I know I acted impulsively..." Shen Shuli immediately lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "But it's too late to regret it now."
There's no way she'll return him.
Seeing Madam Shen scolding the child in front of so many people, Gao Linglong quickly stepped forward to mediate.
“Sister Yuehua, I think A-Li did nothing wrong. With these two children in our hands, the new emperor will have to think twice if he wants to do anything to us. After all, they are his eldest son and eldest daughter.”
"Besides, these two children are in our hands. How could we possibly mistreat them? They might even be better cared for than they were with their biological parents."
Xie Chengyuan's mother also received her son's distress signal and stepped forward with a smile, saying, "Linglong is right, Yuehua, Ali is doing this for our own good, we should be grateful to Ali."
Shen Yuehua never expected that Madam Xie and Madam Mu would be so supportive of her daughter's decision.
I felt slightly relieved.
She was reluctant to scold her daughter, but she was also worried that the three families might be unhappy with her daughter's actions.
She would then bring it up on her own initiative.
To avoid making things even more embarrassing for her daughter if the three families were to criticize her first.
“Sister Mengqi, Sister Linglong, I’m telling you, you’ve spoiled this child too much. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so unruly and act without considering the consequences. Children aren’t so easy to raise. She’s just causing trouble for everyone…” Shen Yuehua said helplessly.
The Empress Dowager then stepped forward to speak.
She smiled and said, "No trouble at all, not at all. This old woman is so bored all day long, so I'll take care of the child here."
Xiao Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her grandmother agreed to let the child stay.
But he certainly wouldn't let his grandmother raise the two children forever. He quickly said, "Grandmother, I think it's better for everyone to raise these children together. After all, their parents have a blood feud with us. If we raise them for a long time, we'll definitely develop feelings for them, which will be difficult to resolve in the future."
Xie Chengyuan quickly chimed in, saying, "What Prince Xuan said is right. How about we four families take turns supporting him, one family supporting him for a month each? What do you all think?"
The Empress Dowager was initially not very satisfied with this decision.
Regardless, this is, after all, the bloodline of the Xiao family.
Besides, the Xiao family isn't unable to afford to support them.
However, considering the scenarios she might face in the future, she did not insist on a firm stance.
"Fine, so be it, but I'll have to support you for the first month." The Empress Dowager finally relented.
Xiao Yuxuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
The matter was then settled.
Shen Yuehua quickly smiled and said, "I have a lot of useful newborn supplies at home. You can send someone to my house to pick them up, so you don't have to bother preparing them."
The four families definitely cannot share the same baby products; each family will certainly prepare their own.
However, if you change baby products too frequently, the baby may not be used to it and might fuss.
It's best to prepare four copies of the same thing.
The Xiao family, Xie family, and Mu family naturally responded without hesitation.
All of them had seen the things Shen Yuehua used for her granddaughter.
It is said that those things were all bestowed by immortals.
The gifts bestowed by immortals are certainly better than anything they have ever used or seen, and they have seen them all.
Disposable diapers, baby wipes, various clothes, baby bottles, formula, etc. are all extremely useful.
It's also super convenient.
At least we won't have to wash diapers every day anymore.
Shen Shuli had already prepared the items in advance and placed them at the Su family's residence.
The rest of the events no longer require Shen Shuli and the other three to intervene.
The elders of the four families will make proper arrangements.
The four then flew away from the island again in a helicopter.
“Oh right, Ah Li, I suddenly remembered that I have an uncle who should still be alive. He used to be a vassal king in the Southern Territory.”
"I don't know how things are now. Why don't we go over there and see? If they need help, please leave them some supplies for me."
Xiao Yuxuan suddenly said.
He only suddenly remembered it today.
His father also had a second elder brother, who was the fourth among all the princes of his generation and also his fourth uncle, whose fief was in the southern border.
Shen Shuli gave Xiao Yuxuan a strange look and clicked her tongue, saying, "What a good nephew! He hasn't even thought of your royal uncle in all this time."
Xiao Yuxuan touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.
The main reason is that the original owner of this body had little contact with this Fourth Imperial Uncle.
The original owner had lived in the capital city since childhood.
The Fourth Prince was transferred from the capital to the southern border to become a vassal king shortly after he came of age.
Over the course of nearly twenty years, the uncle and nephew met very infrequently.
After Xiao Yuxuan transmigrated, he was busy with the famine relief efforts and had long forgotten about his fourth uncle.
It was only today, upon seeing Xiao Yuqiang, that I was reminded of the hatred of my father's generation, and also of the Fourth Imperial Uncle.
This cannot be blamed on Xiao Yuxuan.
Even the Empress Dowager Lan Zhaoyi, as the mother, has never mentioned this second son in front of her grandson in all this time.
She must miss her son often.
But she couldn't burden her grandson, so even though she missed her only son, who might still be alive, she never mentioned him.
If Xiao Yuxuan considered things from his grandmother's perspective for a moment, he would understand her.
But now that he's remembered...
He couldn't pretend nothing had happened. Even for his grandmother's sake, he had to go and see how his fourth uncle was doing.
Shen Shuli naturally responded without hesitation.
Anyway, it won't take too long.
The southern border is not far from Lihai City.
The helicopter arrived at the southern border in just one hour.
"Do you know where your fourth uncle is? I came here with Xie Chengyuan before, but we only collected resources in the mountains and didn't explore the area thoroughly," Shen Shuli asked Xiao Yuxuan.
Xiao Yuxuan thought for a moment and said, "I only know that the Fourth Imperial Uncle's mansion is in Bizhou Prefecture."
"But I don't know where he is now."
The natural disaster has lasted for so long.
If Bizhou Prefecture cannot survive, the Fourth Imperial Uncle will definitely find a way to survive.
Fortunately, the mountains in the southern border region are rich in resources, and some supplies should still be found in the mountains.
Xie Chengyuan knew the exact location of Bizhou Prefecture, and with his guidance, Xiao Yuxuan quickly arrived above Bizhou Prefecture.
Bizhou Prefecture is the most prosperous prefecture in the southern region.
At this time, many people still live in Bizhou Prefecture.
Look down.
Many residents can be seen clearing snow from houses and streets in the city.
"Should we go down and inquire about it?" Xie Chengyuan asked Xiao Yuxuan.
"it is good."
Xiao Yuxuan naturally wanted to inquire about it; otherwise, he couldn't just wander around like a headless fly looking for his fourth uncle.
Bizhou Prefecture needs to clear the snow, so all the city gates are open.
This makes it easier for residents to transport snow out of the area.
Shen Shuli and her three companions disguised themselves as ordinary citizens, each carrying a shovel, and followed behind the city's inhabitants, successfully blending into the city.
Bizhou Prefecture is very large.
It is almost identical to Qingzhou Prefecture.
In peacetime, the city would have a population of approximately 800,000.
But after the calamity, only one-fifth of the city's population remains.
The city seemed very empty and desolate.
The blizzard continued to fall heavily.
Shen Shuli and her three companions inquired about the location of the Prince's Mansion along the way.
The location of the Prince's Mansion is easy to find out.
The four of them soon arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
There are still soldiers guarding outside the Prince's Mansion, so the Fourth Prince should still be here.
Xiao Yuxuan was somewhat excited.
The original owner's family situation was similar to his modern family situation.
However, the backgrounds are very different.
Although the Xiao family are descendants of the imperial family in China, they have been gone for many generations, and their bloodline has long been extremely diluted.
Therefore, the Xiao family still has some roots in China.
His grandparents are still alive.
My grandfather still holds the title of a founding general, and my grandmother's grandfather was the vice premier during the founding of the new country.
Therefore, the Xiao family's status is absolutely prestigious in China.
His father was the third son in the Xiao family, with two older brothers.
Moreover, the three brothers got along very well and had almost no conflicts.
Xiao Yuxuan's uncle, Xiao Chong, was a high-ranking official in the cabinet and one of the most important leaders in the country.
My second uncle, Xiao Yan, was a general with real power in Central China.
His father, Xiao Lie, chose to go into business.
Xiao Yuxuan, on the other hand, needs to inherit his father's business empire.
Unfortunately.
The vast Xiao family estate.
Only Xiao Yuxuan transmigrated.
None of the other members of the modern Xiao family came.
Otherwise, Xiao Yuxuan wouldn't have continued to treat the other members of the Xiao family in this era as enemies.
At this moment, Xiao Yuxuan was unsure about the Fourth Imperial Uncle's character and attitude towards him.
It is still impossible to determine whether they are friend or foe.
We need to test the waters before making a decision.
Upon seeing civilians approaching the Prince Yan's residence, the guards immediately intercepted them with their guns and shouted sternly, "Halt! You are all to retreat immediately and are not allowed to approach the Prince Yan's residence!"
Xiao Yuxuan handed his Xuanwang token to the guard and asked, "May I ask if Prince Yan is at his residence?"
The soldiers had never seen the four men before and did not believe that their lord would recognize them, so they immediately called out to drive them away again.
"Who are you! Do you think you can just see Prince Yan whenever you want? You'd better leave now, or you'll all be arrested!"
Xiao Yuxuan never expected that the Fourth Imperial Uncle's subordinates would be so arrogant.
See the big from the small.
Perhaps the Fourth Prince himself is just arrogant and ruthless, which is why these soldiers act this way.
But he did not back down. He took out the token from his waist and handed it to the other party, saying in a calm tone, "I am the nephew of Prince Yan. This is my token. Prince Yan will recognize it at a glance. Please inform him that we have important matters to discuss with Prince Yan."
The soldiers were surprised to find that this man was actually the nephew of the King of Yan.
But he had never heard of the Prince of Yan having any nephews.
Although he didn't recognize the token in his hand, he could tell at a glance that it was of extraordinary origin.
If he really is the prince's nephew, then he dares not be negligent.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go in and inform them right away. However, our prince has distinguished guests today, so he may not see me. You should be prepared." After saying that, the soldier took the token and ran inside.
Xiao Yuxuan was surprised that his fourth uncle had a distinguished guest visiting him today.
He turned to his three companions, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "How are you feeling?"
Although Shen Shuli and Mu Wanjun had read the novel, it did not describe the Prince Yan in much detail.
Therefore, neither of them understood the nature of this Prince Yan.
However, one can glean some insight from the guards' work style alone.
Shen Shuli couldn't help but remind him, "Perhaps your fourth uncle is not so simple. It's best to be careful."
Xie Chengyuan nodded and said, "I also have businesses here. I've heard that Prince Yan is domineering and ruthless. As for his thoughts on you, his nephew, it's still unknown."
Mu Wanjun looked at Xiao Yuxuan with some worry and said, "Why don't we just stop looking for him? What if he has bad intentions towards you? We might not be able to escape from him."
