My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

Erkang and Xiao Jian sat down.

Xiao Jian looked at Erkang calmly.

He probably guessed what Erkang was thinking.

"Master Fu, if you have something to say, just speak directly." Xiao Jian said, "I will naturally tell you everything I know and will explain it to you without reservation."

Erkang nodded and looked at Xiao Jian sincerely, "There's no need to be so distant between you and me. Xiaoyanzi is very close to us, and we've already considered her one of our own. Just call me Erkang."

Xiao Jian didn't say anything.

Erkang saw that Xiao Jian hadn't spoken yet, so he asked again, "Are you sure that Xiaoyanzi is your biological sister?"

After hearing this, Xiao Jian was slightly stunned.

To be honest, when he found out that Xiaoyanzi was his sister, he was indeed a little uncertain in his heart. However, after running into them by chance in the restaurant and hearing their conversation, he was certain in his heart that Xiaoyanzi was his sister.

Especially Xiaoyanzi, she remembered that Master Jinghui also remembered that she was kidnapped during the lantern festival.

He could be sure based on these two points.

As for other things, he thought there was no need to do any further research.

"I'm sure." Xiao Jian answered Erkang's question confidently, "I trust my intuition. Besides, she still remembers Master Jinghui. Could it be that you suspect that Xiaoyanzi and I had colluded long ago and deliberately approached you?"

Erkang opened his mouth but was speechless for a moment.

To be honest, he actually had this idea yesterday.

But he had already dismissed this idea.

Because according to Xiaoyanzi's personality, she would have spread the news to everyone before Xiao Jian came to her.

"Brother Xiao, I'm overthinking it, but I always feel like you seem to be hiding a lot of things from us. It's not as simple as you said yesterday."

"Erkang, where do you get this from?" Xiao Jian looked at Erkang calmly and frankly at this moment.

"Brother Xiao..."

Erkang was about to continue when Xiao Jian interrupted him, "Erkang, after spending a day together yesterday, I've actually already considered everyone my friends. If you have any questions, just ask me. There's no need to be so formal, unless... unless you don't consider me a friend, and our meeting yesterday was just superficial."

"Brother Xiao, since you've said that, I'll get straight to the point." Erkang's expression suddenly grew serious. "Did your father really die of illness? I noticed you looked hesitant when you mentioned your parents yesterday, so I suspect their death was definitely more complicated than that."

Xiao Jian looked at the person in front of him.

I think he is really amazing.

I didn't expect that he could observe so carefully.

He sat in his seat without saying a word, but fiddled with the flute in his hand to hide his inner turmoil.

He lied to them and also lied to Xiaoyanzi.

"Yes."

Xiao Jian replied.

His expression gradually became serious.

"Brother Xiao, I know we just met and it's not enough for you to trust me completely. I don't know if you were unwilling to open up to us yesterday or if you chose to lie because you didn't trust us enough, but please believe every word I say to you now."

Erkang looked at Xiao Jian and spoke word by word.

At this moment, Xiao Jian seemed to see sincerity and kindness in Erkang's words, and he began to let down his guard.

"Brother Xiao, our encounter with Xiaoyanzi was purely accidental. She became sworn sisters with Ziwei and bravely ventured into the enclosure, carrying the token Ziwei had personally given her. Later, she was seriously injured and unconscious for several days before waking up. After entering the palace, she wasn't blinded by what she saw, nor did she try to assume Ziwei's identity. Instead, she bravely told the truth... It's her loyalty and righteousness that makes us all admire her.

Xiaoyanzi is a really good girl, and she's genuinely devoted to all of us. I can tell she's not approaching us just because of our status."

Erkang told Xiao Jian his opinion of Xiaoyanzi without reservation.

Xiao Jian listened very attentively.

I didn't expect that this group of people were completely different from others.

There is absolutely no messy worldly perspective.

If it were someone else, they would definitely look down on those with lower status because of their noble status.

Xiao Jian waited until Erkang finished speaking before putting down the flute in his hand. Then he looked at Erkang and said, "Actually..."

Xiao Jian paused for a moment before continuing, "Actually, my father was wrongly accused and died because his writings were misinterpreted maliciously by someone."

The voice just fell.

Fu Lun, who happened to be coming out of the hall, was shocked when he heard what Xiao Jian said.

He walked out of the house and looked at Xiao Jian seriously, "Hero Xiao, you can't say such nonsense."

When Xiao Jian saw Fu Lun, he quickly stood up and saluted him.

"Good luck to Lord Fu, Xiao Jian is here to pay his respects."

"Stand up, no need to be so polite." Fu Lun raised his hand. "I heard everything you said just now. You said your father's death was all because of some words?"

"That's right. It was those words that caused my father to be wrongly accused of treason, which led to his being beheaded by the current emperor."

When Xiao Jian said the last sentence, his face began to turn gloomy.

Erkang suddenly had a bad feeling after hearing this. He said cautiously, "Sure enough, I guessed it right." After that, he turned to look at his father, "Father, do you have the same question as me?"

Fu Lun nodded solemnly and looked at Xiao Jian, "Then do you have any other plans for appearing this time? Have you ever thought about telling Xiao Yanzi the truth?"

Xiao Jian opened his mouth and thought for a long time.

He actually thought about telling Xiaoyanzi the truth about his parents' death, but when he saw Xiaoyanzi's carefree look, he gave up the idea.

He shook his head, a smile suddenly appearing on his face. "Do you know? My master is a highly accomplished monk. When I finished my studies and was about to leave him, he wanted to ordain me. But he knew I had unfinished worldly ties, so he let me go out and explore the world. It was during those days that I finally figured out some things."

"whats the matter?"

Erkang looked at Xiao Jian standing in front of him in surprise.

"Before I left, my master told me that the two most precious words in life are forgiveness. He even made me swear never to kill anyone again. Because of this, the hatred has always weighed on my heart. I also believe that the current emperor is definitely a wise ruler, so I want to investigate everything thoroughly before telling Xiaoyanzi the truth."

Xiao Jian told Erkang and Lord Fu all his true thoughts.

"What will you do if at the end of the investigation you find out that the truth is not what you imagined? Will you change your behavior? Will you continue to tell Xiaoyanzi the truth?" Erkang asked.

But at this moment, Xiao Jian immediately shook his head and said, "Erkang, don't worry. Now that I've made this decision, I won't regret it. Xiaoyanzi is so happy and cheerful. If she becomes someone whose head is filled with hatred, I think not only will our parents not be at peace in their graves, but even I won't forgive myself."

After hearing this, Erkang's heart finally settled down.

I didn't expect Xiao Jian to be such an open-minded person.

When he heard Xiao Jian say that it was the current emperor who chopped off his father's head, his heart trembled slightly, and he even worried that Xiao Jian deliberately approached them for revenge.

But now it seems that I was just overthinking it.

Seeing that Erkang and Lord Fu were still silent, Xiao Jian spoke first, "Don't worry, no matter what the outcome, I won't seek revenge. I don't understand political matters, and let the past go with the wind. However, I still want to find out the truth, but forget about revenge."

After hearing this, Erkang nodded slightly to show his agreement with Xiao Jian.

"Brother Xiao, your words really impressed me." Erkang said while giving Xiao Jian a thumbs up. He really admired Xiao Jian. "Brother Xiao, if that's the case, how about you stay in our Bachelor's Mansion from now on?"

Fulan nodded in agreement.

In fact, Fulun would agree with what Erkang said.

It was because it was really inappropriate to drive Xiao Jian away at this time, and he couldn't completely believe every word Xiao Jian said, so leaving Xiao Jian in the Bachelor's Mansion would also make it convenient to observe his every move.

"This..." Xiao Jian hesitated for a moment and then refused, "I'd better leave here."

"Brother Xiao, are you rejecting me like this because you look down on me?" Er Kang asked, "If that's really the case, then I won't keep you. I'll just pretend I've never met you."

Fu Lun smiled and added, "Xiao Jian, just stay. If you leave now, won't Xiao Yanzi blame us when she finds out? I don't think you want Xiao Yanzi to misunderstand us, do you?"

After hearing what they said, Xiao Jian quickly said, "Then I will have no choice but to follow your arrangements. I'll just have to trouble you for a while."

"It doesn't matter."
