"Miss, you're awake!"

Seeing her open her eyes, Yuping beside her smiled slightly and slowly helped her up.

"Miss...?"

Hearing this, Tang Zhiqian became even more confused and carefully recalled what happened yesterday.

Wasn't I captured by human traffickers and wanted to be sold for a good price?

No, it seemed like a white-haired uncle saved me.

At that time, the news Tang Tianling received was that Tang Zhiqian was captured by human traffickers in a village outside the imperial city, and he immediately told Tang Tianyu.

When Tang Tianyu heard the news, he rushed over without stopping, and then brought Tang Zhiqian back with one sword and one tooth.

The girl had never seen such a scene before, with blood splattering everywhere. She fainted immediately and only woke up now.

Was it the white-haired uncle who saved me? But where is this place?

"Yes, now you are the eldest daughter of the Wuwang Mansion."

Yuping smiled and nodded when she heard this. She didn't know where His Highness and His Majesty brought the girl back from, but seeing that her features were somewhat similar to Tang Tianyu's, she thought she was Tang Tianyu's illegitimate daughter.

"Prince Wu's Mansion?"

Hearing these three words, Tang Zhiqian was stunned.

She naturally didn't know who King Wu was, and she didn't even know any king in the East Desert, but she did know what the palace was. Wasn't it where the prince lived? Was she in the prince's house now?

When she looked down at what she was wearing, she was startled and jumped up from the bed.

Oh my god, how did I end up sleeping in this bed?

I'm so dirty, I hope the prince won't blame me if I dirty things in the palace?

This bedding looks so expensive, and I don’t have the money to compensate for it.

If I don’t have money, will I be sold out?

For a moment, countless possibilities came to Tang Zhiqian's mind. Either she would be sold or beheaded. The best case scenario was that she would work in the palace to pay off her debts.

But how long will it take? I haven't found my uncle yet.

When she thought of her uncle, Tang Zhiqian couldn't help but want to cry out loud.

Before my father died, he told me that I had two uncles and asked me to find the older uncle, but he hasn't told me who my older uncle is.

Now I have been captured by human traffickers and brought to the palace. When will I be able to find my uncle?

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Tang Zhiqian’s expression as if she had seen a ghost, Yuping was stunned.

Then she saw Tang Zhiqian's expression gradually became sad, and slowly, she looked like she was about to cry. For a moment, Yuping became anxious.

"Sister, why do you call me Miss?"

Hearing Yuping's voice, Tang Zhiqian slowly came back to her senses and curled her lips.

"The prince and his wife said that you are the eldest daughter, so you are naturally the eldest daughter."

Yuping really didn't know how to answer Tang Zhiqian's question. She couldn't just say that you are the prince's illegitimate daughter, right?

Is it possible to say this?

"Oh, sister, please don't blame me. I don't know why I slept in this bed, but I will wash the bedding. Please don't sell it to me."

Tang Zhiqian did not have a clear definition of the title of eldest lady in her mind. She only knew that she had soiled the bed in the palace, and her mind was full of thoughts about how to make amends.

"what?"

Yuping was immediately confused by her words. When did anyone ever say they would sell you out?

Moreover, His Highness and His Majesty have both said that you are the eldest daughter. With those two around, who in this world of immortality would dare to sell you out?

"Wuwuwu~ Please, don't sell me, I can work in the palace."

Tang Zhiqian was almost crying. Looking at the condition of the bedding, she was afraid that she might not be able to afford the compensation even if she sold it.

"Um... that... Miss, no one said they were going to sell you."

"Don't kill me either."

"Who dares to kill you?"

"What about this?"

Hearing this, Tang Zhiqian was stunned and quickly pointed at the bed and asked.

Seeing the stains on the bed, Yuping couldn't help but twitch her lips. It seems that this is what the young lady thinks. It's just a dirty quilt. It can be washed, or at worst thrown away.

How did she come up with the idea of human trafficking?

"I'll take this and wash it later. Miss, it's time for you to wash up."

"what?"

……

About half an hour later, with Yuping's help, Tang Zhiqian took a bath and then changed into a set of newly made clothes. She suddenly looked refreshed.

Compared to her previous beggar appearance, Tang Zhiqian now looks a bit like a young lady.

But she was still nervous and even walked carefully, for fear that she would damage her clothes and not be able to pay for them.

It was not until Yuping pushed open the door that Tang Zhiqian could see clearly the appearance of the palace she was in.

"Is this the palace? It's so grand."

Looking at the different heights of the palace, Tang Zhiqian sighed repeatedly. This palace was almost bigger than the village where she lived before.

"Huh? You're up!"

At this time, Wen Liuli was still pruning branches in the yard. When she saw Tang Zhiqian coming out, she couldn't help but smile.

At this time, Tang Zhiqian also noticed Wen Liuli.

Wow! What a beautiful elder sister! Is she the princess?

Will I be able to look as beautiful as the princess in the future?

"King...King...Princess."

After a while, Tang Zhiqian came back to her senses and was suddenly flustered. She didn't know how to salute, so she just knelt down.

Seeing this scene, Wen Liuli was stunned.

What's wrong with these ancient people? They kneel down at every turn. Even a little kid like this is taught like this.

Seeing this situation, Wen Liuli quickly helped him up.

"Just call me aunt. You don't have to kneel down. Get up now."

When Tang Zhiqian heard Wen Liuli's words, her mind went blank.

What did she just say? Uncle...uncle...aunt?

She is my aunt? Then my uncle is...

No, no, no, how could I have an uncle who is a prince?

However, Wen Liuli's words also fell into the ears of Cuizhu and Yuping who were standing aside, and both of them could not help but be startled.

She is not His Highness's illegitimate daughter, but His Highness's niece?

But where did His Highness get his niece from? Doesn’t he only have one biological brother, Tang Tianling?

"Oh, maybe you don't know yet, your uncle is the current King Wu, the white-haired guy who brought you back yesterday."

Seeing Tang Zhiqian's shocked expression, Wen Liuli suddenly remembered what Tang Tianyu had said.

It seemed like this girl was frightened to death yesterday and didn’t even know that Tang Tianyu was her uncle.

But Lao Bai is really something. How could he kill someone in front of a child? Isn’t he afraid of scaring the child?

At that time, Wen Liuli scolded Tang Tianyu for a long time. She had clearly told him before not to draw his sword and kill people at will. Although the other party was a human trafficker and deserved to die, he couldn't just kill him.

After all, she grew up on Blue Star, and she still couldn't accept the fact of killing. However, considering that Tang Tianyu was trying to save people, she didn't say too much about him.

"Is that white-haired uncle my uncle?"

Hearing this, Tang Zhiqian's brain suddenly short-circuited. She still remembered Tang Tianyu's heroic figure. She didn't expect that he was her uncle. But was he the eldest uncle or the second uncle?

My father told me not to look for my second uncle.

It seems that looking for my second uncle will bring trouble to him.

"Well, you have an uncle too, and you should be able to meet him soon."

"Hey...why are you crying?"

As he was talking, Wen Liuli saw Tang Zhiqian crying and couldn't help but frown.

Why are you crying for no reason?

"Woooooo~"

How could she know what Tang Zhiqian had experienced during this period of time. She was a four or five-year-old child, whose parents had both passed away, and who had encountered human traffickers, and then had seen that bloody scene.

Now that she knew she had found her relatives, she felt relieved and burst into tears naturally.

You know, just now she was still worried that she would be sold or killed.

Seeing this, Wen Liuli could only sigh and hugged Tang Zhiqian in his arms to comfort her.

By the time Tang Zhiqian came to her senses, Yuping had already brought back two breakfasts from the kitchen.

Seeing the breakfast, Tang Zhiqian couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She hadn't had a full meal at Ren Yazi's place for some time. Sometimes Ren Yazi would give her some leftovers, and sometimes she didn't even have slop to drink.

The breakfast was simple, just steamed dumplings and white porridge, but these two things were like rare treasures in Tang Zhiqian's eyes.

She used to live in extreme poverty with her parents. They could only eat steamed buns during festivals and holidays, which required money to buy.

Besides that, she had never eaten breakfast. She only had two meals a day on weekdays, and she didn't even know what breakfast was.

"Eat it while it's hot, it will get cold soon."

Seeing this, Wen Liuli sat down first, and then waved to Tang Zhiqian.

Tang Zhiqian was a little nervous when she saw this, but after seeing Wen Liuli's gentle gaze, she suddenly felt relieved and then sat down carefully.

At first, Tang Zhiqian was a little afraid to eat it, but she hadn't eaten anything since yesterday, and her stomach had already begun to protest, so after taking a light bite, the taste of the buns immediately occupied her entire brain.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Zhiqian was seen wolfing down the food.

"Eat slowly, be careful not to burn it."

Seeing this, Wen Liuli couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Who knows how much suffering this child had endured before. She was so thin that there was not even a pound of meat on her body. Thinking of her appearance yesterday, Wen Liuli couldn't help but feel distressed.

How could those damn human traffickers have the heart to harm such young children?

Although Tang Tianyu's actions were a bit extreme, Wen Liuli couldn't help but applaud. Human traffickers should all die.

In fact, Tang Tianyu got up very early. After going to the study to read some documents for a while, he came to Liuliyuan. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Tang Zhiqian wolfing down food.

Hey, sister, please go with peace of mind. I will take good care of Qian'er.

"Eh? Lao Bai, have you eaten yet?"

Noticing Tang Tianyu standing at the door, Wen Liuli quickly waved to him.

Tang Zhiqian, who was standing by, raised her head when she heard this and saw the figure standing at the door.

It was the white-haired uncle who saved him yesterday, oh, not uncle, but aunt.

"Uncle...Uncle."
