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

In the reception room of the Xiao Mansion, Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei stood in front of their grandparents. Seeing that they liked them so much, they were very happy.

The two of them were stuffed with a lot of gifts by their grandparents, including various small gold bracelets, small gold locks, and many silver bills, almost filling their arms.

Before they put all these away, they heard their aunt calling them. They didn't want any gifts, so they quickly placed the gifts on the table next to their mother and went to greet their uncle and aunt.

Uncle Du Xueyang is handsome, with deep facial features, thick eyebrows, big eyes and slightly raised thin lips. It is obvious that he likes his two nieces very much.

My aunt Yang Anxia is a typical Jiangnan beauty, with a gentle temperament and soft looks. I thought she was the kind of gentle and considerate woman, but when she spoke, she was lively and casual.

Xiaoyanzi felt that this aunt was probably like her own mother, weak on the outside but casual and lively on the inside.

"Hello, uncle. Hello, aunt. Hello, cousin."

The two stood in front of a few people and greeted them stiffly.

Du Xueyang responded with a hearty smile, "Hello, hello."

Yang Anxia smiled and nodded. As he spoke, he took out the gifts he had prepared long ago from his bag and gave them to them.

"Okay, okay, good kids, come here, your aunt has prepared a lot of gifts for you, take a look and see if you like them."

A lot of gifts were stuffed into Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei's arms. They placed them on their mother's table with some difficulty, and did not forget to say words of thanks.

Du Shaoan, the cousin who had hardly spoken, was tall and slender, and had inherited his father and mother's perfect looks. He was only twelve years old, but he was very handsome. He had a rather quiet personality, and was very curious about these two younger sisters, whom he had heard of a long time ago.

However, he had rarely come into contact with women since he was a child, so when he saw these two lively and lovely sisters, he liked them very much, but he also felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. When they called him brother, he just nodded obediently and smiled at them.

"Dad, Mom, sister-in-law, you just come, why do you bring so many things? And you prepare so many gifts for the children, really."

When Du Xueying saw the table full of gifts, she knew that they were all prepared with great care. Among them were many ready-made dresses, shoes and socks. She knew that these were the thoughts and gifts from her parents and sister-in-law to her, and she felt very grateful.

"I only get to see my granddaughters once every few years, so I have to make up for the regrets of these years."

Hua Yan said with a smile, and was afraid that the children would be angry that they had not visited them for several years, so she quickly explained, "Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei, don't mind. We were far away from you before, and we planned to get together with you every New Year, but your mother was busy, and we were busy too, so we didn't meet in the past few years and couldn't witness your growth.

If your parents hadn't sent us a letter, we wouldn't have known you were in the capital. Don't misunderstand us as coming here to ask for money. We just want to join in the fun because we haven't seen each other for a long time and we know you have such a happy event. At the same time, we also want to meet you and reminisce about the past. Don't think we are disturbing you, okay?"

These words were meant for Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei, but adults all knew that children over three years old could not understand these words. These words were meant for Xiao Zhihang and Du Xueyin to explain why they came here.

Du Cheng and the others also knew that their daughter and son-in-law had been in Hangzhou for several years and they had never seen each other. Now that they had just arrived in Beijing, they came here and it would be easy to be misunderstood. So, they wanted to explain it, but it was not clear whether they would believe it or not.

Not to mention whether Xiao Zhihang and Du Xueyin understood, even Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei understood the meaning of these words.

Xiao Zhihang smiled and said, "We are all family, so why bother you or not? We sent you a letter before coming to the capital, isn't it because we hope you can come to see Xue Yin? Xue Yin has wanted to go back to see you for a long time, but it's a pity that Xiao Yanzi was still young in those years, and it was not convenient for us to travel by boat, so we didn't leave Hangzhou.

Now that you are here, Dad, Mom, Big Brother, and Big Sister-in-law, we are so happy. You can stay in the capital for a while. There are many rooms in the Earl's Mansion. You can stay as long as you want. It just so happens that Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei are back to stay for a while, so you can spend more time together. "

Hearing Xiao Zhihang's generous reply, everyone in the Du family nodded secretly, feeling very grateful.

Du Xueying couldn't help but look at her husband with emotion. She was very happy that her family was treated well by her husband.

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei sat on the side and watched silently. They didn't say anything. They were also looking forward to spending some time with their grandparents whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

"By the way, what do you mean Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei come back to live for a while? Don't they live in the Xiao Mansion?"

Du Shaoan, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help but ask out of curiosity when he heard his uncle's words.

"Ah, because Ziwei is a princess abandoned by the current emperor among the common people, and was taken back to the palace by the emperor. Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi are sworn sisters, so Xiaoyanzi was adopted as the emperor's adopted daughter and was also given the title of a princess.

Now they all live in the palace and come back from time to time. They just returned to the palace not long ago. They just came back today and you are here. Today is a double happiness for my Xiao Mansion, hahahaha."

Xiao Zhihang smiled and told his father-in-law, mother-in-law and others about Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei's current identities.

Unexpectedly, they were shocked.

"W-what? Princess? What princess? Both of you are princesses?"

Several people were stunned. They had heard others introduce that the people in the room were all royal relatives, some princes, some princesses, some young masters, and some painters. They were already shocked. They just thought that this son-in-law became an earl, and his status had risen. The children he knew were all royal relatives.

But, they just found out that their granddaughter/niece/sister is actually a princess?

"You didn't mention Gege's matter in your letter? When did this happen?"

Hua Yan couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Du Xueyin smiled and held her two daughters' hands, saying nonchalantly, "Before we returned to the capital, the emperor went to Hangzhou to pick up the children. We returned to the capital together. When I wrote the letter, I wanted to tell you that my husband was made an earl and we moved to the capital. As for the identities of the two children, I didn't think it was a very important matter, so I didn't mention it."

As soon as these words came out, the five people in the Du family couldn't help but twitch their lips. This, having two daughters who are princesses, isn't that an important thing? Then what is the most important thing?

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei were listening quietly beside them. When they heard what their mother said, they couldn't help but laugh.

Du Shaoan looked at his two sisters laughing secretly, and his eyes were full of curiosity. These two were actually princesses, the emperor's daughters. How should he address them in the future? Should he call them princesses or sisters?

"So, what should we call them?"

Du Xueyang asked with some difficulty. He and his son had the same idea. They were both worried that if they called their names, it would be considered disrespectful to the royal family and they would be punished.

"Hahaha, don't worry, uncle. No matter what our identities are, we are all members of the Xiao family and the Du family. We are all relatives. Don't worry too much about our identities, hehe."
