Chapter 229 - Xiao Yechen’s Interest
Taking a quick glance at Xiao Jiuyuan, Xiao Yechen noticed that the guy seemed to be in an even worse mood.
However, Xiao Yechen also knew what had happened to Xiao Jiuyuan the previous night. Not only was he mugged, he even failed to catch the person that mugged him after searching through the city all night.
It was as though that woman had vanished into thin air.
With that in mind, Xiao Yechen spoke carefully, “Ninth imperial uncle, if I don’t help Feather and the red flower falls into her hand, she will definitely make a fool of herself. Then if she loses face, ninth imperial uncle would lose face too.”
Not even batting an eye, Xiao Jiuyuan only said with his husky voice,
“Xiao Yechen, you should know your place. She is Li princess consort, this Prince’s princess consort. What kind of gossip would you create if you openly helped her like this?”
After saying that, Xiao Jiuyuan glared at him angrily.
Seeing that Xiao Yechen often helped Yun Qianyu, Xiao Jiuyuan was not particularly happy about it. He felt that his princess consort should not need the help of others. Even if she needed help, he himself would help her.
With that thought, Xiao Jiuyuan warned again, “Xiao Yechen, you’d better stay away from her.”
Xiao Jiuyuan’s words made Xiao Yechen clearly realize one thing: Feather was his ninth imperial aunt. This made him feel a little strange.
When Xiao Yechen had first met Yun Qianyu, he had only wanted to help her. However, the better he got along with her, the more he was convinced by her way of doing things. Sometimes he even thought that if his ninth imperial uncle didn’t marry Feather in the end, he would marry her and protect her.
Thinking about this, Xiao Yechen asked, “Ninth imperial uncle, will you marry Feather in the end?”
When Xiao Jiuyuan heard this, his face showed a hint of sarcasm. He opened his mouth and wanted to say, do you think that is possible?
But when he saw Xiao Yechen’s determined look, seemingly saying that he would do anything to marry Yun Qianyu, Xiao Jiuyuan became a little annoyed. He felt as if something was being taken from him and he felt a little pisssed.
Thinking about this, Xiao Jiuyuan said with a hint of humor, “Xiao Yechen, you never know. However, at least for now, she is your ninth imperial aunt. Maybe it will be so forever.”
These words made Xiao Ye Chen’s heart suddenly jump and even his face became a little pale.
How could he be so sad? Had he unconsciously fallen in love with Feather? In fact, he wanted to marry Yun Qianyu not for the sake of being her friend, but because he liked her.
At this moment, Xiao Yechen couldn’t help but express his regret, remorse and hatred for himself. At the beginning, his ninth imperial uncle clearly wanted to cancel the marriage between him and Yun Qianyu. If he had told his ninth imperial uncle decisively at that time that he was willing to marry Feather, then his ninth imperial uncle would have surely agreed to it.
Xiao Jiuyuan looked at Xiao Yechen’s dejected appearance and, after a little thought, he figured why Xiao Yechen was like this.
‘This guy’s in love with Yun Qianyu? Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed?’ Xiao Yechen, who had always loved beautiful women, actually fell in love with Yun Qianyu, who had a ruined face.
Even if Yun Qianyu’s face was not destroyed, he had never heard that Yun Qianyu was a beauty.
That was why Xiuao Jiuyuan couldn’t figure out what was up with Xiao Yechen.
Even so, Xiao Jiuyuan did not forget to warn Xiao Yechen, “Xiao Yechen, I advise that you put away all the thoughts you shouldn’t have. At present, your main goal is to strengthen yourself. Your father expects you to be the person in charge of your family in the future. Furthermore, your grandfather handed you over to me, hoping that I could train you into a capable and responsible person. So, throw out any unrealistic thoughts you have.”
