Chapter 102 Big brother is back

"I'm back now, aren't I?"

Although a family reunion should be a joyous occasion, Xie Yunqi couldn't be happy at all in such an awkward situation.

He forced a smile and patted his mother's back to comfort her, "Why are you still crying, Mother?"

"Yes, yes, yes, this is a happy occasion, we shouldn't cry!"

Madam Xie quickly wiped away her tears, and a smile returned to her face. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly noticed Xie Yunqi's empty right arm.

"Yunqi... your hand... what happened to your hand!?"

Madam Xie nearly cried out in alarm, "How...how come one hand is missing!"

"It's a long story."

Xie Yunqi was unwilling to explain so much at this moment, "But it is already a great blessing that I came back alive, Mother, there is no need to worry."

Although she felt sorry for Xie Yunqi's sudden loss of an arm, the joy of his return made Madam Xie forget everything else. She held Xie Yunqi's hand tightly, as if afraid that he would disappear if she let go.

Xie Longqing's eyes shone as he looked at his son who had "come back to life." As long as his promising son was still alive... the Xie family was saved!

Xie Yunqi nervously glanced at the expression of Prince Ning behind him, then quickly scanned the faces of the Xie family members. Seeing that Xie Jinglan was not present, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Where is my third brother?"

Xie Yunqi looked at Xie Zhi and said, "My third brother is not feeling well, so I'll trouble you, Sister Zhi, to go to his courtyard and let him know that he doesn't need to come to greet me. I will go to his room to see him in a little while."

Xie Yuan was quite displeased to see her brother still thinking about Xie Jinglan, that good-for-nothing, at a time like this. She quickly grabbed Xie Yunqi's arm and scolded, "Why are you bringing him up on such a joyous occasion? Hurry up and come inside! What kind of family is this, standing outside talking like this?!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie quickly replied, "Yes, yes, let's go inside and talk things over!"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xie Yunqi's face.

The house looked so dilapidated from the outside, he could easily guess what the interior was like. He never expected that His Highness Prince Ning would have to step into such a place upon arrival. It was truly...

"Your Highness...Young Master, why don't you return to the inn first?"

Xie Yunqi really didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Song Yunming any longer, so he immediately suggested, "Now that my family is in dire straits, I'm afraid we are not worthy of your attention, young master."

Upon hearing this, the Xie family members finally noticed Song Yunming standing behind Xie Yunqi.

Xie Yuan knew from his clothes and appearance that he must come from a wealthy family, and his handsome appearance made her heart flutter.

This must be a good friend that my brother made in the capital!

"Since he's here, how can we not invite this young master in and have a seat? Anyone who doesn't know better would think that our Xie family is lacking in manners!"

Xie Yuan quickly spoke up, afraid of missing the possibility of meeting this handsome young man.

Upon hearing this, Song Yunming's expression changed almost imperceptibly. Looking at the two young ladies standing there, whose appearance could only be described as pretty, he couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

Although I really couldn't be bothered to watch the Xie family reunion, it was obvious that Jiang Yuyue hadn't appeared yet.

He can't just leave like that.

“What this young lady said is true.”

Prince Ning, Song Yunming, smiled and said, "Thank you, brother. Let's go inside and sit down together."

Xie Yunqi cursed Xie Yuan for being so talkative, but since things had already come to this point, he could only let Song Yunming go in with them.

Now that she has her own older brother to support her, Xie Yuan has unconsciously straightened her back a bit.

Seeing Xie Zhi still standing there, she immediately snapped in a low voice, "Stupid girl, what are you standing there for? Didn't your brother tell you to go to Xie Jinglan's room to deliver a message?! Hurry up and go!"

Xie Zhi's eyes turned cold at Xie Yuan's arrogant demeanor, but she remained outwardly calm, nodding repeatedly, "I'll go right away!"

Seeing Xie Zhi return to his usual timid and submissive self, Xie Yuan was overjoyed. It was indeed different having an older brother. It seemed that it wasn't impossible for them to return to their previous lives!

"Brother, who is that young master?"

Xie Yuan was still thinking about Song Yunming who was following behind, and quietly asked him a question, while Xie Yunqi did not plan to tell his family about becoming a prince consort at this time.

"friend."

Xie Yunqi only briefly mentioned that Jiang Yuyue and Xie Jinglan, two unstable factors, have not yet been confirmed, so it is not advisable to release information too early.

Xie Zhi was assigned to deliver a message in the backyard. When she thought of Xie Yuan's arrogant and conceited manner, she felt that Xie Yunqi might as well be dead.

They're both people with older brothers, so why is Xie Yuan's brother so much more successful?!

The thought of this made Xie Zhi's face turn extremely ugly, but before she could even enter the small courtyard behind the house, she was blocked by Ji Xiang at the door.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Second Miss?"

Xie Zhi was almost startled by the sudden appearance of Ji Xiang. After recognizing him, she quickly said, "It's my eldest brother who's back. He asked me to come and inform my third brother that he's worried about his health and doesn't need him to come over. He'll come to visit me in person later."

"Thank you for your trouble, Miss."

Jixiang smiled faintly, "This servant will inform the Third Young Master in a moment."

Seeing Jixiang's calm expression, Xie Zhi couldn't help but feel a little strange. Xie Yunqi, who everyone thought was dead, suddenly returned, and Jixiang wasn't surprised at all?

However, considering that Xie Jinglan has always been indifferent to family affairs, and that the Xie family members almost treat him as if he doesn't exist, perhaps their courtyard really doesn't care much about Xie Yunqi's affairs.

Thinking it over, Xie Zhi convinced herself. After delivering the message, she quickly walked back. Although she was dissatisfied with Xie Yuan's attitude, Xie Yunqi was the only savior of the entire Xie family. At this time, she had to try to get some benefits for herself!

Watching Xie Zhi leave, Ji Xiang also hurried back into the house. Seeing that her Highness was still reading a book in Jiang Yuyue's room as if nothing had happened, she was extremely anxious for Jiang Yuyue.

It's unclear whether she has come up with a plan or not. If Xie Yunqi finds out that she has become pregnant out of nowhere, he will not let her off easily.

Just then, Jiang Yuyue came out of the teahouse owned by Steward Xiang and smelled the aroma of Fuyuanzhai pastries from afar.

"Xiao Liu, go buy some food and take it back to our backyard. Don't let them go hungry."

Remembering that Xie Jinglan loved these peach shortbreads, Jiang Yuyue had an idea. "I'll go buy some pastries before I go back."

Xiao Liu nodded and left, the master and servant going their separate ways, with Jiang Yuyue heading towards Fuyuanzhai.
