Chapter 92 The Old Improper

Xihe wanted to say that she could help, but when she saw the stubbornness hidden in Liu Yuan's eyes, she shut her mouth.

The little girl lay sadly in Xiao Mingxuan's arms, tears falling quietly, her words choked with sobs, "Little brother."

Xiao Mingxuan sighed in his heart and hugged the little girl tighter, "I'm here."

Xu Qingcheng was so disappointed with his friend that he was about to argue when someone came to report.

"General, there are unusual movements in the Jiang Mansion!"

The three of them looked shocked and rushed to investigate.

It was late at night, and in order to avoid alerting the enemy, the two little guys were placed in Xu Qingcheng's yard to sleep.

Along the way, Xihe was in a bad mood and would shed a tear from time to time.

"Okay, don't cry anymore." Xiao Mingxuan wiped the tears from the little girl's face and coaxed her slowly.

"Little brother, why?" Xihe's mind repeatedly echoed Liu Yuan's frustrated look, as if it was stabbing her again and again like a needle. "Uncle Weird is such a powerful person, but he has to give up his faith because of the evil intentions of those bad guys. Why?"

After entering the house, Xihe cried even more sadly, and she took out a piece of letter from her bosom. The flickering light reflected on the letter, revealing the slightly immature handwriting on it.

That was the letter that Xihe had prepared long ago to send to the imperial city. She wrote down everything about her strange uncle and laid out the evidence. As long as Emperor Jingyuan saw it, Liu Yuan's case would be overturned.

But just before she was about to take it out, she felt the rejection emanating from Liu Yuan's whole body.

Liu Yuan was unwilling to put himself on the stage for others to see.

Even though the fake "Liu Yuan" was executed in the imperial prison, in the minds of the people, "Liu Yuan" is still the young man who was full of vigor and vitality in the imperial city when he was young. At most, people would sigh and say that people's hearts are fickle.

If he really went back in this body, the world would look at him with pity, sighing, and... sympathy.

Liu Yuan became famous when he was young, riding a flying horse across the river. He was so unrestrained, so how could he tolerate being looked at with pity by others?

Staying in Jiangnan was the last dignity he could give himself.

"Desire, greed."

For the first time, Xiao Mingxuan did not pull the sad little girl into his arms. He leaned on the beam and looked at the slightly pale little face quietly.

He suddenly remembered what Liu Yuan said and laughed.

It's more than just identity.

He didn't know how to tell his little girl that he, Xiao Mingxuan, was the kind of person she was talking about.

It's just because of some kind of delusion that I disguise myself as a normal person.

As time goes by and things change, I am the one on the opposite side.

Will you...hate me like you treat those people today?

"Little brother, what's wrong with you?" Xihe looked at Xiao Mingxuan's slightly empty eyes and asked worriedly.

"I was thinking... gambling doesn't really seem to be a good thing." Xiao Mingxuan lowered his head and smiled.

If the world is a gambling game, Xiao Mingxuan is the biggest gambler.

He bet everything on the little girl's soft heart.

"Ah?" Xihe sniffed, not understanding the sudden change of topic.

Xiao Mingxuan was too lazy to pull it back, he straightened his sleeves, looked at the letter, and asked: "Are you still delivering this letter?"

Xihe held the letter in her hand, feeling hesitant. "I don't know either." She couldn't bear to ruin Liu Yuan's innocence, but she was also concerned about the other party's attitude, and it was difficult to make a decision.

"If you haven't made up your mind, just keep it and we'll talk about it later."

Xiao Mingxuan knew that Xihe was kind-hearted and was sure that she would not be able to be cruel enough for the time being.

"Go to sleep. There will probably be some trouble tomorrow."

Little did they know that this commotion actually lasted for more than half a month. Liu Yuan was not able to come forward, so Zhong Ting and Xu Qingcheng worked in shifts and used all sorts of methods. It took them a full half month to find where the hidden money was.

Zhong Ting also received a secret order from Emperor Jingyuan, ordering them to execute first and report later, and to make sure to investigate everything secretly.

After coordination, they finally decided to let Zhong Ting stay at the villa to prevent anyone from secretly passing on the message. Xu Qingcheng and Liu Yuan took the eldest and second princes and the two cubs to search in the dense forest.

Liu Yuan was very interested in Xihe, a little girl, and he would chat with her whenever he had the chance. "Why are you here, a little girl? There are so many wolves, tigers and leopards in this dense forest, and they love to eat tender little cubs like you."

Xihe's teeth itched. If it weren't for his short height, there would be a tooth mark on Liu Yuan's face. "Uncle Weird, why do you still look down on girls? Xihe is amazing! Not stupid at all! Besides, Xihe is not delicious. Uncle Weird's is the one that big tigers like to eat the most. It's delicious~"

The brothers Zhao Chengning and Zhao Jinyuan covered their mouths tightly, their faces turning red.

Xu Qingcheng couldn't help laughing out loud and was soon hit by Liu Yuan.

"Stupid Xu, is it funny?" Liu Yuan asked with a smile and gritted teeth.

Xu Qingcheng coughed twice and pretended to be serious, "I'm not laughing, you saw it wrong."

Liu Yuan was not blind, he almost laughed out of anger.

Times have really changed. Xu Mutou has become smooth-talking now.

Liu Yuan raised his hand to pinch the little girl's face, but Xiao Mingxuan quickly took her away.

"Don't touch her." Xiao Mingxuan hid Xihe behind him, and his protective attitude was obvious.

Liu Yuan was a rebellious person. He insisted on doing it even if he was not allowed to do it. "Hey, I must bully you today!"

He dodged and was about to catch the little girl, but the little girl was as slippery as a loach and he couldn't catch her.

"Hehe, if you can't catch me, you just can't catch me~"

Liu Yuan's physical strength was not as good as before. After several rounds, not only did he fail to catch the person, he was also out of breath.

"Good boy, only you can do it, no one else can, right?" Liu Yuan asked unhappily.

Xiao Mingxuan nodded seriously, "Yes, mine."

He can only bully him.

The possessiveness is evident.

Liu Yuan was so upset that his hands were itching, but he couldn't catch the little girl, so he took advantage of Xiao Mingxuan's inattention and pinched his little face several times.

Xiao Mingxuan was stunned for a moment and didn't react. After a long time, he looked at the smiling Liu Yuan beside him in disbelief, "You... pinched me?"

Liu Yuan laughed out loud, his hearty laughter was particularly conspicuous in the quiet forest. As if he was not satisfied, he raised his hand and rubbed Xiao Mingxuan's black hair, then slowly said: "You are just like a ten-year-old child. Why do you pretend to be so mature? When you reach my age, you won't have the energy to be young anymore."

From the moment he met Xiao Mingxuan, Liu Yuan knew that this child had suffered a lot over the years. Although he was only ten years old, he was more stable and self-controlled than people in their twenties.

It's a rare opportunity to tease this little brat.

Xiao Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, but he was not merciful at all, "You old pervert."
