Chapter 62
The middle-aged man is Wei Ying's uncle, that is, Mrs. Xiao's brother, named Xiao Wenrui.His character is upright and upright, the official worshiped the censor of the dynasty, and was in charge of the supervisory duties.

Although Xiao Wenrui is Mrs. Xiao's older brother, but because of his straightforward temper, he has repeatedly advised Duke Wei's outrageous behavior, which is not liked by Duke Wei. It is only because of Mrs. Xiao that he managed to keep his official position.

He looked at Wei Ying with a smile, and said: "I don't know that the princess is coming, so I asked the princess to wait for a while, and then I ordered the kitchen to cook a few more dishes and serve them."

Xiao Wenrui has a high position and power but is so frugal, which is completely different from the extravagance of other officials in Weiguo.Wei Ying was deeply moved, she shook her head and said, "No need, uncle, I like these two dishes, let's eat like this. But uncle and aunt, don't blame me for coming here uninvited, because you don't have enough food It is."

Xiao Wenrui's wife, Mrs. Sun, is from Zhangdi of Weiguo, a gentle and virtuous woman.She shook her head with a smile, and said softly: "What is the princess talking about? It's just that the princess is honorable. The master and the concubine dare not let the princess be so condescending and eat such a meal. The princess should wait for a while, and the concubine will go now." Ask the kitchen to cook a few more dishes and bring them over."

After all, she was about to get up.

"It's really unnecessary, Auntie!" Wei Ying hurriedly stopped her, and she said with a smile: "Auntie, you don't know that I sneaked out of the palace earlier, and I just ate some dry food and drank some cold water in a hurry. Eating here with you is much better than eating dry food!"

"Then..." Mrs. Sun hesitated for a moment, then turned her gaze to Xiao Wenrui.

Xiao Wenrui lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said softly: "Then you can add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for the princess."

"Yes." Mrs. Sun replied, turned her head to look at the maid behind her, and said softly, "Zhen'er, go get a pair of bowls and chopsticks for the princess."

"Yes, ma'am." A tall and beautiful woman bowed and saluted, then turned and walked out of the hall.

Xiao Wenrui turned his head to look at Wei Ying, and said sternly: "Princess, I have a word of persuasion, please don't blame me for not listening."

Wei Ying vaguely thought of what Xiao Wenrui was going to say, but he was her uncle after all, so she had to listen.She pursed her lips and said helplessly, "Uncle, please tell me."

Xiao Wenrui said in a deep voice: "Your behavior of sneaking out of the palace a few days ago was really outrageous. You don't know that when Madam hurriedly summoned her servants to enter the palace, she was already in a state of confusion and flustered. The princess should know it too, Madam I have always been a prudent person. I have never seen my wife lose my temper like this before. I think it is because I am worried about the safety of the princess. Therefore, even if the princess is not thinking about her own safety, she should think about her wife, and she must not act like this again. It's a dangerous thing."

"I see, Uncle." Wei Ying stuck out her tongue, and responded awkwardly.

At this moment, Zhen'er had already taken the clean bowls and chopsticks and walked in. She also filled a bowl of porridge for Wei Ying, and put it in front of her respectfully.

Wei Ying took a bite of vegetables with chopsticks, looked at Xiao Wenrui and his wife who were sitting quietly, and said, "Uncle, aunt, you can eat too."

"Yes."

Xiao Wenrui and his wife agreed in unison, then picked up the chopsticks again and started eating.

Xiao Wenrui had a few mouthfuls of food, looked at Wei Ying and asked, "I don't know what is the purpose of the princess' sudden visit this time?"

While chewing the food in her mouth, Wei Ying said vaguely: "I want my uncle to help me find out something."

Xiao Wenrui asked suspiciously: "May I ask what the princess wants my servant to inquire about?"

Wei Ying swallowed all the food in her mouth, picked up the porridge bowl and took another sip of the porridge, she articulated a little more clearly, and replied: "I want to ask my uncle to help me find out about Shen Guo and Shi Ziyu."
