Chapter 11 She Filial Piety in Her Own Way

Unexpectedly, Xiao Su shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, it won't work to put Heshan, you should change to something else."

Zhao Shiqing: "Why? You don't know how to repay a favor? Xiao Xiaosu, I didn't expect you to be such a person."

Xiao Su surrendered: "It's unfair. This young master is not only grateful, but also kind and generous. It's really not what you think. How about this, how about giving you Yuchun Mountain? There are many osmanthus trees on Yuchun Mountain. In the golden autumn of October, the whole mountain is fragrant. Your master will definitely like it."

Zhao Shiqing shook his head: "I just want to release Heshan."

Xiao Su sighed: "To tell you the truth, although Fang Heshan belongs to our Xiao family, it is not up to me to decide."

"If you can't make the decision, then why do you always go?" The first time Zhao Shiqing and Xiao Su fought was at the junction of Baihe Mountain and Fanghe Mountain. They fought each other until their heads were broken and bloody because of the ownership of a stone. At that time, one of them was ten years old and the other was eight years old.

Xiao Su was helpless: "Fang Heshan is from the eldest branch of our Xiao family. You know, when my brother was eight years old, my uncle gave him Fang Heshan to make him happy. My brother lives in the capital all year round, so I have to help take care of him to prevent some unreasonable neighbor from stealing things."

Zhao Shiqing didn't bother to rebuke Xiao Su for implying something about her. Her attention was all on the big brother that Xiao Su mentioned.

"Your brother? Is he from your eldest house, the son of Princess Jiayi and Prince Consort Xiao?"

Xiao Su nodded: "Yes, my eldest brother is Xiao Zhen, he is very kind to me."

Xiao Zhen?

Zhao Shiqing's heart moved, as if he had heard this name somewhere before.

She remembered that she had heard from her sister that Princess Jiayi and Prince Consort Xiao left the capital, and their son Xiao Zhen was taken into the palace by the Emperor.

Zhao Shiqing narrowed his eyes slightly. These were hostages. Even if Princess Jiayi and Prince Consort Xiao refused to admit that they were the ones who killed King Liang, they had to keep their mouths shut for Xiao Zhen's sake.

Now Princess Jiayi and Prince Consort Xiao are still alive, but I don’t know if their precious son will be so lucky and survive.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shiqing raised his whip and galloped away.

Xiao Su rolled his eyes: "Still the same, running away without even saying hello."

While complaining, he whipped his horse as fast as possible and followed closely behind Zhao Shiqing. The two of them, riding two horses, headed towards Liangdu.

In the evening, Zhao Shiqing and Xiao Su arrived at Wisteria Villa.

Zhao Shiqing looked around and saw that there was a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps in front of Wisteria Villa, and it was filled with royal guards, which showed that the vigilance had been strengthened.

Before Zhao Shiqing and Xiao Su reached the door, a team of royal guards rushed out from the horizontal ridge and blocked the road ahead.

When they got closer and saw the two mud monkeys on the horses, the leading guard was startled and knelt down with his clothes lifted: "This general greets the second young lady."

Zhao Shiqing also recognized that this man was Meng Hu whom he had met last night.

"General Meng, you've worked hard. We are so nervous, could there be another assassin?"

Meng Hu smiled bitterly: "Second Miss is very smart. Someone did break in this morning."

Zhao Shiqing said seriously: "What's going on? Has anything happened to the Princess and Prince Consort Xiao?"

Meng Hu hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Second Miss, the Princess and Prince Consort Xiao are fine, and the eldest princess has come to the villa in person to take charge."

"My sister is in the farm?" Zhao Shiqing asked excitedly.

"Yes, the eldest princess is in the manor now." Meng Hu said.

Zhao Shiqing didn't have time to ask about the assassin, so he went into the villa with Xiao Su. Not long after entering the villa, he saw Zhao Yunnuan in military uniform.

"Sister, I'm back!" Zhao Shiqing dismounted from the horse and trotted to Zhao Yunnuan.

Zhao Yunnuan looked at her little sister who was covered in mud, and then looked at Xiao Su who was also covered in mud following behind her, and smiled helplessly: "How did you get into this state? I almost couldn't recognize you."

Xiao Su greeted Zhao Yunnuan, and Zhao Yunnuan asked the maid to take them to bathe and change clothes.

Xiao Su followed obediently. He couldn't go to meet Princess Jiayi and Prince Consort Xiao in this state.

Zhao Shiqing did not leave. She asked, "Sister, why are you here?"

Zhao Yunnuan said: "Thanks to you last night, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. After you left, Meng Hu sent someone to deliver a letter to me, and I came here this morning. Fortunately, I brought a lot of people, otherwise..."

It turned out that someone entered the manor again this morning. This time he did not come in disguise, but broke in through the back door.

It happened that Zhao Yunnuan arrived with his troops at this time, and those people saw that the situation was not right and fled in panic.

Zhao Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't know whether these people are brave or cowardly. If you say they are cowardly, they dared to break into the villa. If you say they are brave, they fled when they saw our large army coming."

"No, that's not the case." Zhao Yunnuan continued, "The leader among them seems to be seriously injured and has not recovered yet. He walks with a limp. The others should be his guards. In this case, if we resist to the end, it will only be futile. It is wise to leave."

Zhao Shiqing became interested and sat down next to Zhao Yunnuan. Zhao Yunnuan jumped up in fright and jumped to the side: "Stay away, wash yourself clean and come back."

Zhao Shiqing: Where is the sisterly love you promised?

"Sister, that person, the one who was seriously injured, what kind of person is he? Have you met him? Otherwise, how would you know that he was limping?"

"Well, not only did we fight, I even exchanged two moves with him, but both were blocked by a young man next to him."

Thinking of that person, Zhao Yunnuan's eyes flashed with confusion: "He is very young, at most 18 or 19 years old, his face is very pale, and his lips are bloodless. If it weren't for his eyes that are black and bright, he would have looked like a dead person.
However, he looks"

Seeing Zhao Yunnuan suddenly stop talking, Zhao Shiqing was anxious: "What's wrong with his appearance? Is he very handsome?"

Zhao Yunnuan said angrily: "I already said he looked like a dead man, how could he be good-looking? I think he looks a lot like Prince Consort Xiao."

Prince Consort Xiao?
Zhao Shiqing suddenly thought of someone. Just now, she and Xiao Su had talked about this person on the road.

"Could he be Xiao Zhen, the eldest son of Princess Jiayi and Prince Consort Xiao?" Zhao Shiqing said in a lost voice.

Zhao Yunnuan nodded: "I thought of this person, but shouldn't he be in the palace now? I don't believe that the emperor can easily let him come to Liangdi."

Zhao Shiqing thought for a moment and said, "If that person is really Xiao Zhen, then he will definitely come again. Sister, you also said that he is half dead and can't even withstand one of your moves. Now there are so many people outside the villa, he may not dare to come in."

"Withdraw all the people outside? What if something like what happened last night happens again?" Thinking of last night, Zhao Yunnuan was still frightened.

When Zhao Yunnuan thought about the unpleasant words her second aunt said after she learned that her younger sister was not in the palace, as well as the sarcasm in her mother's eyes, she felt like there was something stuck in her heart and was very uncomfortable.

The younger sister did not stay in the palace and cry her heart out. She left the palace and resolved the huge crisis that was about to come to the Liang Palace invisibly.

Her little sister has never been an ungrateful person, nor has she ever been heartless. She is wise and courageous, and she is filial to her father in her own way.

"Sister, you stay in the manor. I'm going to go out and meet that Young Master Xiao."
