Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 108 The Prince is nostalgic and has a backup plan

Xiao Yan'an was cautious and took Xiao Jincheng to a small martial arts arena in the backyard of the government office.

"Jincheng, this is where the people from the government office usually train."

"Brother, I don't know how to practice martial arts. Why did you bring me here?" Xiao Jincheng asked with a smile.

"Let me show you that my archery skills have improved a lot." Xiao Yan'an slowly picked up the bow and arrow on the shelf and pulled the string to its full extent.

With a "whoosh", the arrow flew to the target ten meters away and hit the bull's eye.

"Brother, you are so awesome!" Xiao Jincheng praised immediately.

"Your hand is still injured, otherwise I could teach you archery. A man should be manly. Don't think you are weak. Strength can be gained through practice."

"Then I will definitely ask you for more advice after I recover from my injury."

"Okay." Xiao Yan'an shot a few more arrows.

Xiao Jincheng turned his head, his eyes full of viciousness.

Xiao Yan'an had his back to him, so he couldn't see his expression. He only heard him shout in a clear voice, "Brother! You hit the bull's eye again! Isn't this the archery technique mentioned in the book, shooting an arrow through a willow tree from a hundred paces away?"

Xiao Yan'an pulled the bow to its full extent once again, but the strength in his hands was gradually dissipating.

Just now, he really had a wonderful feeling of regaining his childhood.

But they have all grown up.

I learned a lot of things that I didn't know when I was a child.

Identity, status, power... and so on.

When he was a child, Xiao Jincheng was like his little follower. When he went to the academy, Xiao Jincheng packed a small bag and insisted on going to the academy with him.

When he got on the horse and left, Xiao Jincheng cried loudly and was reluctant to let him go.

Whenever it was his day off, Xiao Jincheng would wait in front of the mansion early in the morning, waiting for him to come back. Every time he came, he would buy Xiao Jincheng his favorite candy on the street.

He would also be eager to share with Xiao Jincheng what he learned in the academy.

Xiao Jincheng looked at him with admiration just like he is now. Even if he just swung the sword casually, Xiao Jincheng felt that he was a martial arts master.

This is no longer the carefree childhood.

Saying this further would only sound hypocritical.

His hands slowly dropped down and he put the bow and arrow away.

"Brother, why don't you cum?"

"I suddenly feel a little bored, shall we go for a walk on the street?"

"Brother, aren't you on duty now?"

"It's okay. It's just right. I can go patrol the streets."

Xiao Yan'an and Xiao Jincheng left the government office together and walked onto the street. Xiao Yan'an saw the candy shop where he used to buy candy from.

"Jincheng, wait a moment." Xiao Yan'an said, and walked quickly towards the shop.

Under Xiao Jincheng's astonished gaze, he bought a bag of candies.

"This is what you loved to eat when you were a child." Xiao Yan'an wanted to use this to remind Xiao Jincheng of the good old days of his childhood.

They are brothers, they don't necessarily have to fight to the death.

Xiao Jincheng's face was stiff for a moment, then he took the paper bag, "Thank you, brother, you still remember that I like to eat this. I haven't eaten it for a long time."

"Of course, I always remember your preferences."

Xiao Jincheng sneered in his heart.

However, what Xiao Yan'an remembered were not his real preferences!

All he wanted was Xiao Yan'an's position as the crown prince, nothing more.

Will Xiao Yanan give it to him?

When Ji Chuhe heard that Xiao Jincheng was taken to the government office by the prince, she was not surprised at all. From now on, Xiao Jincheng would definitely not return to the academy, but would take the opportunity to find a job in the government office.

"Mammy, have you found the person I asked you to look for?"

"I found her and settled her in a farm west of the city. She is the only one who came back. I gave her family some money as the young lady instructed. It is enough for them to settle down in the new place."

"Okay, let her rest well on the farm first."

"Yes."

The person Ji Chuhe was looking for was none other than the woman who was raped by Zhou Dahu.

After Xiao Yan'an dealt with Zhou Dahu, he sent someone to send some silver and other valuables to the woman's family as a sign of appeasement. However, when Tianxi arrived at the family's home, he found that the farmyard was empty.

Xiao Yan'an did not take this matter to heart, but Tian Xiduo was cautious and reported the matter to Ji Chuhe.

Ji Chuhe immediately ordered someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the woman's family.

After finding the person, we learned that the woman could not accept such an experience. Even though Zhou Dahu was dead, she could not get rid of her hatred, which led to some mental problems and even attempted suicide several times.

Her family was even more miserable. They kept a close eye on her every day and dared not relax for a moment.

Ji Chuhe asked someone to tell the woman the truth and asked her if she wanted to return to the imperial capital to seek revenge on her real enemy.

The woman agreed without hesitation.

Ji Chuhe will raise her in the farm first, she will be of great use in the future.

In the evening, when Xiao Yanan walked into the palace, he suddenly thought of the unpleasant incident with Ji Chuhe last night. His pace slowed down involuntarily.

Has Ji Chuhe calmed down now?

If he had known this earlier, he would not have allowed Xu Yan'er to live in Mo Garden.

This way, he also has a place to go.

He was with Xiao Jincheng today and had no time to buy a gift for Ji Chuhe.

He just went there empty-handed, and he didn't look like he was going to apologize.

"Prince." Suddenly, a call came.

Ping'er quickly knelt in front of Xiao Yan'an.

"Sir, Aunt Xu has not been drinking for the whole day. Can you go and see her?"

Xiao Yanan had a headache, "Is she on a hunger strike?"

"Your Highness, the incident at Changning Palace really has nothing to do with Auntie. She is also a victim. After Zhao Kang was imprisoned, Nanny Wang relied on the dowager's favor to beat Auntie and verbally humiliated her many times. Auntie couldn't stand it anymore and only dared to fight back when she got this opportunity."

"What did you say? Nanny Wang actually dared to hit her?" Xiao Yan'an was shocked.

Xu Yan'er is the master, and even Nanny Wang dares to lay hands on her?

"Yes." Ping'er nodded, "Prince, my aunt is suffering so much. Apart from you, she has no one to rely on. Please go and see my aunt."

Xiao Yan'an changed direction and walked towards Mo Garden.

Xu Yan'er had been hungry for a day and felt dizzy. When she heard footsteps, she was not sure if it was Xiao Yan'an.

The door opened, and she immediately spoke weakly, "Ping'er, please stop trying to persuade me. I really feel worse than death now. Please let me leave this world quietly."

"Aunt, don't be like this. The prince is here to see you." Ping'er's voice sounded outside the door.

"Don't lie to me. The prince's heart no longer belongs to me. He has fallen in love with my lady." Xu Yan'er's tone was extremely sad.

Xiao Yan'an walked to the bed, and Xu Yan'er's pale face came into his eyes, and he couldn't help but frowned.

"Prince?" Xu Yan'er pretended to be surprised and immediately raised her hands to cover her face.

"If you don't want to live anymore, why do you still care about your face?" Xiao Yan'an grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand away.

Xu Yan'er burst into tears immediately, "Yes, I don't want to live anymore, why should I be afraid of being ugly?"
