Chapter 273: As if We Never Knew
Well, maybe since Xiaoyanzi became a princess by accident, they are no longer the same kind of people.
She is Liu Hong, a commoner who performs on the streets and runs a restaurant in the downtown area that can barely make a living.
She was Xiao Yun, a country lady who had entered the palace as a princess, had a romantic relationship with a prince, and was friends with a noble lady.
"Xiaoyanzi, let me ask you one last question. If I let you go now and let you do whatever you want, and the price is that we'll pretend we've never met, what will you choose?"
When Liu Qing heard this, he looked at Liu Hong in shock, but Liu Hong's expression was serious and she was not joking at all.
Liu Qing knew that his sister had come to terms with it.
Liu Hong looked at Xiaoyanzi deeply, trying to catch a hint of reluctance or fear from her expression.
But no.
When Xiaoyanzi heard that she could be let go, her eyes lit up. As for the rest of the sentence, she probably didn't hear it at all.
But even if she heard it, she wouldn't care.
"Hurry, hurry, let me go. Wouldn't it be better if you did this earlier? Really, don't delay things."
Liu Hong paused, then pressed on, "Did you hear my terms? I want to break up with you. Will you choose us or go ahead and make trouble?"
Xiaoyanzi frowned, "Liu Hong! You know that I, Xiaoyanzi, value my friends the most, but you deliberately use these words to pressure me, right? Is this what friends should do?"
Liu Hong took a deep breath, making a final effort. "It's because I care about you that I've broken down and told you all these things over and over again. Yes, I, Liu Hong, am not very knowledgeable, but I'm not a fool. The situation is so clear now, why do you still need to make a fuss? How can we ordinary people fight against the royal family?"
Xiaoyanzi shook her head. "You don't understand. Yongqi was forced to do this. He loves me, and he only loves me."
It all comes down to the same thing, and Liu Hong doesn't want to say anything more.
The last sentence, she only asked the last sentence.
"Are you sure you don't want us to be friends anymore?"
Xiaoyanzi knew Liu Hong was serious, and she was a little annoyed. "Liu Hong, you've really changed. I've been friends with you for so many years. It's really not worth it!"
Not worth it? Good!
Liu Hong didn't say anything else. She decisively untied the rope and pushed Xiaoyanzi out.
"From now on, you go your way, and I go mine."
"Hmph! Wait until I marry Yongqi, and don't come back to me for help when you have trouble!"
Xiaoyanzi was so angry that she jumped to her feet. She didn't understand why Liu Hong kept stopping her. Was she so afraid of her happiness? Given her righteousness, would she treat them badly after marrying Yongqi?
Humph, in that case, don’t blame her, Xiaoyanzi, for not remembering our friendship.
Liu Hong lowered her head and said nothing. Perhaps Xiaoyanzi didn't realize that all the troubles facing the brother and sister were caused by Xiaoyanzi.
Only after Xiaoyanzi left angrily did Liu Qing gently pat Liu Hong's shoulder.
He didn't say a word just now, but just stood silently behind Liu Hong to express his attitude.
During this period, Liu Hong was very worried about Xiaoyanzi's emotional problems and injuries.
On weekdays, Liu Hong and Liu Qing take care of the store business together, but during this period of time, the store was handed over to Liu Qing, and Liu Hong spent most of her time in the backyard accompanying Xiaoyanzi.
Liu Qing watched Liu Hong worry about Xiaoyanzi every day, and was worried because Xiaoyanzi was ignorant. Although she was a woman with a strong personality, she patiently coaxed Xiaoyanzi with soft words, just to get her to take the medicine.
Liu Hong may not realize how tired she is, but Liu Qing feels distressed when he sees his sister has lost weight.
He had advised Liu Hong to worry less, but Liu Hong was always worried about Xiaoyanzi.
Liu Qing had no choice but to find different ways to make delicious food for Liu Hong.
Now, Liu Hong finally sees through it, or rather, is finally willing to let go.
Liu Qing thought it was a good thing.
Although Xiaoyanzi and they are like sisters, in Liu Qing's heart, no one can compare to his sister Liu Hong.
"Brother, do you think I'm too heartless?"
Sure enough, after driving Xiaoyanzi away, Liu Hong immediately began to regret it.
Liu Qing pressed her shoulders and pushed her into the room. "What do you mean by heartless? She made all of her own choices. She thinks friends like us are unimportant, so that's fine. You've said everything you should say and done everything you can. It all depends on her luck from now on. Don't overthink it."
Liu Hong nodded slightly. Fortunately, she had her brother who supported her in everything she did.
As expected, Liu Qing immediately added, "I'm your brother. I support you in everything you do."
Liu Hong smiled so hard that her eyes curved. The gloom brought by Xiaoyanzi in the past few days had dissipated a lot.
Seeing Liu Hong smile, Liu Qing was also happy. "Come on, I'm hungry after working all night. I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
"Then I want two eggs!"
“Three!”
"Two is enough, more than enough!"
After walking out of Huibin Building, Xiaoyanzi realized a problem, that is, where is the Fifth Prince's new home?
It was all Liu Qing and Liu Hong's fault for holding her back. Otherwise, she could have stopped the bride in the street during the daytime wedding procession. Now the streets were deserted, where could she find them?
The more Xiaoyanzi thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Why was her life so miserable?
My brother is unreliable, my lover is unreliable, and my friends are unreliable.
"Ah! It's so annoying!" Little Swallow stomped her feet hard.
She walked aimlessly on the street, asking everyone she met where the residence of the newly married Fifth Prince was.
Most people thought she was crazy and waved her off.
But she actually asked this question to an enthusiastic audience member who was watching the ceremony today.
"My dear lady, it's getting late. What are you doing here on the street asking about the Fifth Prince's residence?"
The man smiled ambiguously, and I always felt that there was a story behind it.
Xiaoyanzi lied casually, "I'm a friend of the Fifth Prince. I was invited to the capital to attend the wedding, but I lost my token of love, so I had to ask everyone."
It's too fake, I don't believe it.
What kind of friend comes to the wedding alone? I hope she is not my sweet sister.
This little girl is pretty, it seems there is something fishy going on.
He loved to watch the fun the most. After showing Xiaoyanzi the way, he quietly went home and called his friends to follow him.
Xiaoyanzi found the place easily by following the road, but she was still a little shocked when she saw the gate of the Fifth Prince's mansion.
She even suspected that this family was also married and the passerby who gave her directions had made a mistake.
But it seems that no one would get married on the same day as the Fifth Prince.
But Yongqi was a prince after all. Although she had known for a long time that the Fifth Prince had been driven out of the palace, she had never expected that the Emperor would give the Fifth Prince such a small mansion.
She had also seen what a royal palace looked like, such as Prince Guo's palace. The gate there was so magnificent. Xiaoyanzi had once imagined how nice it would be to live in such a house.
Xiaoyanzi couldn't accept this gap for a while.
It turns out that the emperor was not only cruel to her, but he could also be so cruel to his own son.
When he came, he was very proud and confident, but when he arrived at the door, he didn't dare to go in.
She squatted in the shadow of the corner and looked at the not-so-bustling mansion, feeling very uncomfortable.
