Transmigrated into a cunning princess, she sets her sights on a celibate royal uncle.

“No, I just…” Jiang Xi was unwilling to impersonate someone else and was eager to explain.

Huo Jingxuan interrupted her, saying directly, "Second Uncle, her name is A-Xi!"

Huo Yuandong was taken aback. It wasn't Yang Xuerou, yet Huo Jingxuan introduced her so solemnly and even brought her back to the old house.

What on earth is Jingxuan thinking?

He was puzzled, but he didn't show it on his face, after all, Huo Jingxuan was the head of the Huo family at the moment.

"Oh, please!"

Huo Yuandong invited the people into the house, and after settling Shang Que and the others in, he led Huo Jingxuan to see the old man.

"Ah-Xi, come with me!"

Before leaving, Huo Jingxuan actually asked Jiang Xi to come with him.

Now Huo Yuandong was not just surprised, he was almost certain that the future matriarch of the Huo family was going to change.

However, his marriage to Yang Xuerou was arranged by the old man himself, and the old man's health is currently a concern.

If Jingxuan were to disregard everything and directly reveal his true feelings to the old man, who knows what kind of situation it would cause.

"Wait a minute..."

Huo Yuandong was worried and naturally had to stop it quickly.

"Jingxuan, your grandfather is in poor health and it's not advisable for him to see outsiders. Why don't you go alone?"

Huo Jingxuan turned to look at Huo Yuandong, knowing Huo Yuandong's intention, but replied with the same firm gaze: "Axi is not an outsider!"

After saying that, he took Jiang Xi's hand and they headed towards the courtyard where Old Master Huo lived.

In the bitter cold of winter, a charcoal fire burned in Old Master Huo's room, and because the old man took medicine year-round, a rich incense was also burning in the room.

When Huo Jingxuan pulled Jiang Xi inside, Huo Jingxuan's second aunt, Li Yue'e, was personally serving the old man his medicine.

"Father, there's honey in this medicine, so it doesn't taste so bitter anymore. Please try some!"

Grandpa Huo lay half-reclined on the bed, waving his hand, his voice old and hoarse: "I won't drink it anymore, this medicine is ineffective, no matter how much I drink, I'll still cough!"

As he spoke, a series of uncontrollable coughs followed.

Huo Jingxuan quickly stepped forward and took over from his second aunt to pat the old man's back.

Realizing that the person beside him had changed, Old Master Huo lowered his hand from his lips, turned his head to look, and his brown eyes instantly brightened.

"Jingxuan, why are you back? Is everything alright in the capital?"

"Jingxuan greets Grandpa and Second Aunt!" Huo Jingxuan lifted his robe and bowed.

Li Yue'e was filled with fear. Logically speaking, he was now the head of the Huo family, and even if she was his aunt, there was no need for him to perform such a grand ceremony.

"Oh dear, child, get up quickly!"

Li Yue'e handed the medicine bowl to the maid beside her and quickly bowed to help Huo Jingxuan up from the ground.

"You are the head of the Huo family, there's no need for such a grand gesture!"

Huo Jingxuan stood up and, avoiding Li Yue'e, said, "Auntie, you've worked hard taking care of Grandfather!"

Li Yue'e was both gratified and excited that Huo Jingxuan was so understanding of her.

At this moment, Li Yue'e's two children, Huo Jingtian and Huo Jingyun, also ran in.

"Mother, I heard my cousin is back. Where is he? Where is he?"

Huo Jingtian and Huo Jingyun are twins, with Huo Jingtian being the older brother and Huo Jingyun the younger sister.

The brother and sister are both seventeen years old and are still studying at "Zhihu Academy" in the city. They have just finished school and returned home.

"What's all the commotion? Your cousin is here! Come over and greet him!"

Li Yue'e first scolded her two children, and then beckoned them in from outside the door.

"Greetings, elder brother!"

After the brother and sister entered the door, they respectfully bowed to Huo Jingxuan.

Huo Jingxuan nodded slightly: "When I came back last time, Jingtian was only thirteen years old. Now he has grown into a handsome young man!"

Li Yue'e covered her mouth and smiled, looking at her two children with great joy.

Huo Jingyun's gaze darted around the room, finally settling on Jiang Xi.

So he stepped forward, took Jiang Xi's arm, and asked Huo Jingxuan, "Brother, is this our future sister-in-law?"

Before Huo Jingxuan could speak, Old Master Huo on the bed spoke first: "Don't be silly, this is Miss Xue Rou's first time visiting our Huo family!"

Jiang Xi was extremely embarrassed and carefully pulled her hand out of Huo Jingyun's hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm not Yang Xuerou, my name is Axi!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned.

However, the person with the most complicated expression was Old Master Huo, who was lying on the bed.

Grandpa Huo stared at Jiang Xi, as if trying to confirm something.

Jiang Xi let the old man look her over, not daring to look up.

Li Yue'e was worried that Old Master Huo would be angry, so she took the initiative to lead everyone outside: "Your elder brothers haven't seen Grandfather for a long time, let's go out first and let them talk!"

Everyone left as instructed, including Jiang Xi.

Li Yue'e considerately closed the door, and everyone stood in the courtyard awaiting orders.

Huo Jingyun couldn't help but look Jiang Xi up and down with a curious gaze.

She assumed that the woman her brother brought back to meet their grandfather must be his fiancée, which is why she mistook her for his fiancée.

But if she wasn't, why did her brother bring her along?

"Miss Ah Xi, what is your relationship with my brother?"

Being young, Huo Jingyun couldn't help but ask.

“I…” Jiang Xi didn’t know how to describe her relationship with Huo Jingxuan.

Uncle and nephew? Concubine? Neither seems appropriate!

Huo Jingtian, on the other hand, was quite philosophical about it: "Oh well, no matter what the relationship is, the fact that my brother brought her back means that their relationship is definitely not simple. Maybe she will be our sister-in-law in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yue'e couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xi.

But she was an elder after all, so she didn't say anything, keeping her hands down and her eyes and mouth closed, seemingly observing her inner thoughts.

After everyone had left, Huo Jingxuan knelt down in front of Old Master Huo's bed.

The room was warm. Old Master Huo lifted the quilt and looked down at his grandson, whose back was ramrod straight.

Even before he speaks, you know what he's going to say.

"You said her name is A-Xi?" Old Master Huo asked.

Huo Jingxuan nodded.

Old Master Huo's expression changed: "I remember the late emperor had an unfavored princess named Jiang Xi, who was raised in the Yang family. Is it her?"

"Yes!" Huo Jingxuan replied.

"I see!" Old Master Huo exclaimed with a look of sudden realization.

Huo Jingxuan was a little curious. Shouldn't his grandfather be even angrier after learning Ah Xi's identity? Why was he reacting this way?

Old Master Huo noticed Huo Jingxuan's confusion and rebuked him.

"Since you know she is a princess, and you are her royal uncle, what do you mean by bringing her back to see me?"

"Grandson dares not hide it from grandfather, grandson likes Ah Xi!" After saying this, Huo Jingxuan was already prepared to be scolded.

Upon hearing this, Master Huo looked sharply at Huo Jingxuan, who was kneeling, and asked, "Is this true?"
