Shengjing Noble

Su Lanyin nodded, then gently pushed her forward and said softly, "Xiaoyu, uncle has something to tell you."

"Tell me?"

Xiaoyu looked confused and turned to look at the handsome stranger in front of her, with a hint of timidity in her big watery eyes.

But she still said politely: "Hello uncle, what do you want to say to Xiaoyu?"

Fu Wuyang was stunned when he saw the child for the first time. He was sure that this was Ah Zhu's child without asking.

Her eyebrows and eyes have not yet fully grown, but she already looks like Ah Zhu.

"Your name is... Xiaoyu?"

He reached out to touch Xiaoyu's cheek, but she dodged in fear and hid her small body behind Su Lanyin.

"elder sister……"

Su Lanyin quickly turned around and held her in her arms, then squatted down and said patiently: "Xiaoyu, haven't you always wanted to find your father? In fact, he..."

"He is my father?" Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"He..." Su Lanyin didn't know how to explain.

After all, Fu Wuyang is not Xiaoyu's biological father.

So she could only look at the man and signal him to explain it himself.

Fu Wuyang smiled kindly, stretched out his hand towards her and said, "Xiaoyu, come here. There is something your mother left for you, and now I want to return it to you."

Xiaoyu immediately became nervous when he heard the word "mother" and held Su Lanyin tightly and refused to let go.

"No! I don't want my mother..."

She hated her mother who abused her so much that she would be instinctively afraid whenever she heard it.

Su Lanyin quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, Xiaoyu, that bad woman who beat and scolded you since childhood is not your mother at all. You were abducted by her."

Xiaoyu finally calmed down and asked with sadness in her eyes: "Really? Do I... do I also have a mother who loves me? Where is she?"

Fu Wuyang sighed helplessly: "Your mother and father are no longer alive, but they loved you very much and entrusted you to me before they died."

"who are you?"

"I'm your mother's friend. She asked me to adopt you, so by rights I'm your adoptive father. Are you willing to live with your father in the future?"

Xiaoyu started crying when she heard this, and held Su Lanyin's hand even tighter.

"Sister, don't you want the little fish anymore? So you threw it to someone else? The little fish knows it's wrong. It will never be greedy again. It will listen to its second brother and study hard. Please don't throw the little fish away... wuwuwu..."

The child was crying bitterly, obviously frightened. Su Lanyin hugged her in her arms quickly with heartache.

"No! How could I not want Xiaoyu? I was the one who picked you up, and I promised to take care of you for the rest of your life."

"Then why did he say that? I don't want to go with him, I hate him, I only like my sister!"

Seeing the child resisting him so much, Fu Wuyang felt helpless, but more of it was guilt.

If I had paid more attention to her at the beginning, perhaps she would not have suffered so much in vain.

Thinking of this, Fu Wuyang could only look up at Su Lanyin and said apologetically: "It seems that this child cannot accept me for a while. In this case, I am afraid I will continue to trouble Miss Su. Don't worry, I will not treat you unfairly."

"Your Highness, what you said is not right. I don't find it troublesome at all, but don't worry, I will explain it to her."

"Thank you."

Fu Wuyang nodded and smiled at her, then took out a very old rag doll from his arms. It was only the size of a palm. The doll's clothes were very delicate and had the word "Jin" embroidered on them.

Su Lanyin took it and looked at it, then asked, "What is this?"

"This was made by Ah Zhu before she died. She said she hoped that this doll could grow up with her child. It was all my fault that I lost Xiaoyu. I just hope that everything can be made up now."

"What does this word brocade mean?"

"Her mother once named her Jinyan."

"So Xiaoyu's name is Jinyan? That sounds nice." Su Lanyin put the doll in Xiaoyu's hand and asked, "Xiaoyu, do you want to change your name? How about Jinyan from now on?"

"Then... can I be called Su Jinyan? I want to have the same last name as my sister."

Su Lanyin shook her head: "That won't work."

When Xiaoyu heard this, she started crying out of grievance: "Sister, don't you want me anymore? Wuuwuwu..."

"How could that be? It's just that the surname Su is not good. From now on, your surname will be Lu."

"Lu Jinyan? Okay, okay, I can have the same last name as Mother Lu!"

She immediately burst into laughter, ran away happily holding the doll, shouting as she ran.

"I'm Lu Jinyan, Third Brother, I'm Lu Jinyan..."

Su Lanyin looked at her happy back, and a big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

"I can be considered to have helped little Jinyan find her father."

Fu Wuyang bowed to her and said, "Thank you, Miss Su, for treating Jinyan well."

Su Lanyin hurried to help him, and couldn't help but feel a little panicked: "Your Highness, there is no need to do this. I lent a hand because I felt sorry for Xiaoyu. This is human nature."

"No, it's very rare to find someone as kind-hearted as you in the world, who can treat others so well without asking for anything in return."

"I feel a little creepy when you suddenly praise me like this." Su Lanyin smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry for offending you before."

"Since Your Majesty feels sorry, how can we make it up to you? Your Majesty will not just give you verbal praise, right?"

"Don't worry, I will attribute all the credit for this to Miss Su."

"Forget about the credit, I only want to ask for one thing, Your Majesty."

"Don't mention just one, even ten will do."

Su Lanyin's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and she asked hurriedly, "I heard that the prince is the chief examiner of the martial arts champion. Is this true?"

"The martial arts champion is selected every three years, and I am the chief examiner." Fu Wuyang nodded, but quickly added, "However, the martial arts champion selects talents for the country, which is related to the important role of defending the country, so even if it is Miss Su, I cannot show favoritism for you."

"Who asked you to be partial? I just want to ask you for a favor."

"What's the matter?"

"Do you still remember the selection of the top martial arts champion six years ago?"

"Six years ago? You mean the one your brother attended?"

"Correct!"

Fu Wuyang sighed, with deep regret in his eyes: "Your brother is indeed a talented man, but it's a pity that an accident happened, otherwise he would definitely be a great general defending the country now."

Su Lanyin excitedly grabbed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, my elder brother's accident is so bizarre. Can you re-investigate and help me catch the real murderer who murdered my elder brother?"

Fu Wuyang was stunned for a moment, looking at her hand holding his unnaturally, hesitating whether he should push it away.

But before he could figure out what was going on, the other party started to urge him impatiently: "Your Majesty, tell me, are you going to help or not?"
