After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

She found a restaurant in the city, tried the special dishes, and thought they were good, so she asked the boss to make several more servings. She decided to share some with Cui and Xu Qinghe after she got back.

After eating, he found a medium-sized inn to stay in, and decided to go meet Xu Jinyi after packing up.

When she entered the inn, she took out the large backpack that she had brought with her on the road to escape the famine. Inside it were several large packages that were brought over by the female members of the Ning Wang Mansion.

This is just used as a cover, so that when she takes out something later, there will be a source for it.

When Yuxiu arrived at the gate of the military camp carrying a large backpack and said she was looking for General Xu Jinyi, she was not allowed to pass immediately.

Several soldiers armed with long swords surrounded her vigilantly and did not allow her to walk around, while the other one trotted away quickly.

Yuxiu was not in a hurry and stood at the door waiting leisurely.

According to the old princess, her second uncle was a very serious person and rarely smiled on weekdays. She didn't know if he would have such an expression after knowing his identity.

Although Qi Siyuan's people had sent a message here before, a carrier pigeon could only bring a message. As for the things that Yuxiu asked him to bring, they were still on the way.

"Yunxuan?"

Following the sound of footsteps, Xu Jinyi quickly came out with his men. His originally anxious expression suddenly turned cold when he saw Yuxiu's figure.

He just heard the soldier guarding the gate come over and say that his nephew Xu Yunxuan came to see him, and he almost jumped up from the ground in fright.

You have to know that Xu Yunxuan is the child of the third room of Prince Ning's Mansion, and he is only five or six years old. If nothing big happened, how could anyone allow him to come here?

He just thought that something big had happened in Prince Ning's Mansion, so he hurried out immediately, but he didn't expect to see a young boy of about ten years old.

"Who are you? Why are you pretending to be my nephew?"

Xu Jinyi shouted loudly, and immediately drew the long sword from his waist, holding it horizontally in front of him, looking at the person opposite him with great vigilance.

When he shouted like this, not only did the soldiers at the door draw their swords, but even those who were training in the barracks came running out in a large group.

When these people saw the angry look on General Xu Jinyi's face, they surrounded Yuxiu as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

"Hehe... I am just alone, why are you so nervous, General?"

Yuxiu chuckled and handed an envelope in her hand to Xu Jinyi.

"This was written by the old lady of Prince Ning's Mansion herself. The general will know what it means as soon as he sees it."

The reason why she mentioned Xu Yunxuan's name before was just to get Xu Jinyi to come out quickly.

Otherwise, if he says he doesn't want to see me, I'll have to think of a new way.

Seeing that she could remain so calm in the face of such a situation, Xu Jinyi's heart became even more tense. He showed no intention of relaxing and did not reach out to take the letter. He still looked at her with a serious look.

Yuxiu thought about what the old princess had said and knew that he didn't trust her, and she couldn't help feeling helpless.

"If the general is worried that the letter has been tampered with, I will open the letter and you just need to take a look."

Yuxiu quickly opened the envelope, but did not read the contents. Instead, she turned the letter over and faced Xu Jinyi.

Xu Jinyi felt a little embarrassed that the young boy could think of a solution to the problem so calmly when faced with doubts.

In addition, he quickly glanced at the handwriting on the letter paper and found that it was indeed the handwriting of the old princess, his biological mother.

"It's okay, just do what you need to do and don't gather here."

After realizing that it might be a misunderstanding, Xu Jinyi waved at those people and sent them away.

"Come with me."

After Xu Jinyi finished speaking, he took the letter from Yuxiu's hand and walked to an open space outside the barracks. The terrain here was very open, so no matter what happened, he could respond in time.

Yuxiu knew that he didn't completely trust her yet, but she didn't care. She immediately walked over obediently and stood quietly by the side waiting for him to finish reading the letter.

"So, the third brother is not the real third brother?"

Xu Jinyi muttered to himself, then looked up at Yuxiu, frowned and asked:

"Then who are you? Why would Prince Ning's Mansion ask you to deliver a letter?"

Xu Jinyi had a basic understanding of the caravans and messengers that traveled between the border and the capital in the past years. Even if the Ning Palace had an urgent matter to send a letter, there were separate channels to deliver it. How could such an important thing be handed over to such a thin young boy?

"My father is Xu Qinghe."

Yuxiu looked at the suspicious man opposite her and couldn't help but smile.

It turns out that what everyone said was right, his father really looks a lot like his father's brother.

However, after going through the wind and rain at the border, Xu Jinyi is no longer the elegant gentleman he used to be. He has become a bit more rough and his face looks much older.

"Xu Qinghe..."

Xu Jinyi muttered the name, then spread out the letter again and looked at it. He didn't know what he thought of, but he suddenly looked up at Yuxiu with his eyes wide open.

"You...you are a girl...you are...Xu Yuxiu?"

His mother stated clearly in the letter that the person who was exchanged with Xu Jinran was named Xu Qinghe, and he now only had a fourteen-year-old daughter named Xu Yuxiu!

"As expected of a general, he reacts very quickly."

Yuxiu smiled, lifted up the wide basket hat on her head, revealing most of her face, and immediately confessed her identity to Xu Jinyi.

"Yes, I am Xu Yuxiu."

"It's cold outside, put on your hat."

Xu Jinyi just glanced at her casually, then quickly waved his hand for her to put on the basket hat.

Seeing that the other party was indeed a girl, Xu Jinyi believed what she said about her identity. However, there were still many unreasonable points, so he had to get them clear. So he immediately asked a series of questions.

"Then who did you, a little girl, come with? How could your parents be assured? How could your grandmother agree? You..."

Yu Xiuzhi smiled slightly and did not rush to answer these questions. Instead, she pulled the strap of the backpack on her shoulders.

"Look at me, I'm too anxious. Is this backpack filled with your luggage? Take it down quickly. Second uncle will help you carry it..."

He couldn't accept it for a moment, but when he saw the little girl carrying a big backpack that was thicker than her, he immediately felt distressed and reached out to take it.
