New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

When Ertai heard the bad news that his sister Xiaoyanzi was not there, he could not help but wailing, and then he forced himself to ask where his sister Xiaoyanzi was.

"Who is Ziwei?"

Qing'er was curious and asked about this name that had never appeared before.

Du Xueyin smiled and comforted Ertai, asking him to rest for a while and wait.

She sent someone to invite Xiao Feng over, and also sent someone to invite Xiao Yanzi and the others to come back.

Seeing that everyone was still in the garden, Xiao Zhihang led them to the reception room, explaining things to the children as he walked.

When they arrived at the reception room, everyone knew that Xiaoyanzi had a new good sister, or rather, a new younger sister, named Xia Ziwei.

Xia Ziwei, this name sounds so familiar, a bit like a little baby she met when she was staying with her parents. She doesn’t know if she remembered it wrongly.

Qing'er frowned. Why hadn't she thought of becoming sworn sisters with Xiaoyanzi before?

But it’s okay, she is also a member of the Xiao family now, and she and Xiao Feng are siblings.

Ertai was comforted and sat in the living room, his chubby face full of unhappiness. He thought he would see little Yanzi as soon as he arrived, but he didn't expect that she couldn't remember him at all. So sad.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhihang and Du Xueyin couldn't help but chuckle. They pulled the children aside to chat for a while, but felt helpless when they saw how restrained they looked.

Just at this moment Xiao Feng rushed over. Seeing Qing'er and Erkang Ertai, whom he had not seen for three years, coming, his face was full of surprise.

As soon as the children met, they began to introduce themselves to each other, and after a few words of chatting, they began to become very familiar with each other.

Seeing that the children were chatting happily, Xiao Zhihang and the other person did not disturb them. They quietly left the living room and gave the space to the children.

"Brother Feng'er, do you know where Sister Xiaoyanzi is? Where is the Xia Mansion?"

Seeing Uncle Xiao and the others leave, Xiao Ertai couldn't help but secretly pulled Xiao Feng's hand and asked him.

The others also looked at Xiao Feng curiously, waiting for his answer, or rather, waiting for him to take them to find Xiaoyanzi.

As a child, how could Xiao Feng not see what they were thinking?

"You want to go find Xiaoyanzi?"

Xiao Feng asked tentatively.

The five little heads in front of me nodded in unison.

"Then let's go. I'll take you to Xia Mansion."

"Great!"

As soon as Xiao Feng opened his mouth, the five people cheered in unison.

So, the six children walked towards the door again laughing, and then asked the guards to pull the carriage, and they all got on the carriage and went to the Xia Mansion.

Xiao Zhihang and Du Xueyin originally wanted to go downstairs to prepare meals, but they learned that the children had gone to Xia's house. After thinking about it, they followed them. They wanted to pick up Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei to eat.

------

Xiafu.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei sat at the door of the reception room, both of them holding their chins with their hands. They had been waiting for their mother at the door at the beginning, and now they were waiting for their parents to come out.

They are all waiting for a result now.

One, possibly expected outcome.

"Xiaoyanzi, I'm a little nervous. What if we go back to the palace in a few days? Will it be difficult for me to see you then?"

Ziwei looked up at the sky, her expression couldn't be seen clearly, but one could hear some nervousness and worry in her voice.

Xiaoyanzi was in the same position. She was silent for a moment and said, "No matter what the result is, we are good sisters. You can come out of the palace to see me when you are free, or I can come to see you when I have time."

After saying this, Xiaoyanzi pursed her lips and felt uncomfortable.

That was the palace gate. Once you entered it, it was as if you were in a deep sea. Once Ziwei entered the palace, it was very difficult for her to get out. And how could she, a commoner, possibly enter the imperial palace?

Ziwei probably knew that this statement was hard to believe. After all, the palace was not so easy to enter, and once you entered, you couldn't get out.

And they are still so young, let alone the chance to leave or enter the palace. Just thinking about it makes me sigh in my heart.

"You said, is it okay for me not to go back to the palace?"

Ziwei turned around and asked expectantly.

"Then are you willing to do that? Mother Yuhe will definitely be taken into the palace. Are you willing to be separated from your parents?"

When Xiaoyanzi asked this question, Ziwei immediately fell silent and lowered her head in frustration.

To be honest, she couldn't bear to do so.

Finally, her parents are both there, and she can have a happy childhood, which is the thing she longed for most in her past and present life.

Now, it is difficult for her to give up her family for friendship.

So she lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyanzi, if I go back to the palace, I won't be able to grow up with you, I'm sorry."

Xiaoyanzi knew that she couldn't bear to leave herself and felt guilty for giving up herself for her family, but this was what she should do. She finally had her family around, and she wanted to spend more time with them. This was a very normal thing.

It's just that I can't help feeling a little reluctant.

"It's okay, we'll see each other again."

"Yeah, definitely."

The two little guys acted like they were parting forever, which made people want to laugh but also feel sad.

In fact, no matter how old they are, or whether they know the difficulties of entering and leaving the palace, they all know that once they are separated, it will be very difficult to see each other again.

Under the eaves, two figures stood hugging each other, looking at the two children on the stairs hugging and comforting each other, their faces full of heartache.

"Let's proceed as planned. I'll ask her parents if they agree."

"it is good."

The two seemed to have made a decision, a decision that could change other people's lives. Then they smiled at each other, opened the door, and stood at the door.

Hongli squatted down, opened his arms, and like an ordinary father, he gently said to Ziwei who was not far away, "Ziwei, come here, let daddy hug you."

Ziwei, who had just reluctantly parted with Xiaoyanzi, did not rush to get up when she heard her father's gentle voice. After seeing Xiaoyanzi nodded for her to come over, she got up, ran to her father's arms, and threw herself into him without hesitation.

She thought about this scene throughout her childhood.

The warm and broad embrace, and the smell of her mother's purse on her clothes, made her feel at ease and familiar.

Hongli smiled as he caught her, then picked her up, spun her around, and said with a smile, "Ziwei, Ziwei, from now on you will be Aixinjueluo Ziwei. This name is really nice, and as cute as you are."

Ziwei was a little dizzy from being spun around, but the wind blowing in her face made her heart swell. The person in front of her was laughing so brightly and happily. That was because she was his biological daughter and there was no misunderstanding. They recognized each other just like that, and her father liked her very much. She was so happy.

Because of the joy that came from the bottom of her heart, Ziwei was amused and laughed out loud, with her eyebrows and eyes curved.

Xia Yuhe watched from the side, her eyes and heart filled with love for the two of them.

Xiaoyanzi stood not far away, looking at the family of three with smiles in her eyes. She was not envious, really, because her parents loved her too.

Xia Yuhe saw Xiaoyanzi standing aside, looking so well-behaved and sensible that it made her feel distressed. She walked over, picked her up gently, walked in front of Hongli, and said with a smile, "You can't favor one over the other. Xiaoyanzi is also your daughter."
