Chapter 577: Those days, never think of them again
The Third Princess and Prince Yong and his wife were sitting in the pavilion in the back garden, watching the children having fun, their faces full of smiles.
"I never thought that the seventh brother's child would be this big already! He used to be so reserved that I thought he would never get married or have children."
Who would have thought that after not seeing each other for a few years, the child has grown so big.
"Third sister, have you ever heard of what happened to my seventh brother over the years?"
Prince Yong sat in the pavilion, his gentle gaze shifting away from the children and looking at Baili Ruyun.
After he returned home last night, he immediately asked someone to inquire about what had happened to the seventh brother in the past few years, including the Shu family and Shu He.
As a result, the news he heard really shocked him.
Baili Ruyun's smile faded, and he nodded, "I never thought that during those years of exile, Old Seven actually lived like that..."
"I heard from Zhang Qiong that half a year ago, Lao Qi was in a critical condition due to a poison attack on his heart. Even he was helpless. In the end, it was Shu He who saved Lao Qi's life."
"Yes, I also heard that Seventh Brother's wife has been bullied by Guan Huizhi and Shu Yue since she was a child. If it weren't for God's blessing, she might not have been able to give birth to this child!"
Princess Yong also started talking, with a look of deep admiration on her face.
"And Yi'er, it's said that on the farm in Yuancheng, my seventh brother's wife suffered from amnesia. It was only through her motherly instinct that she protected Yi'er and raised her despite the abuse of a group of evil slaves!"
"The Eleventh Princess also said that six months ago, the child was extremely skinny, with not a pound of flesh on his body! In the end, it was only after the Seventh Sister-in-law regained consciousness and killed the wicked servants of that farm that the child was reunited with Prince Li!"
"Oh, I never thought that this child had experienced so much hardship in the past!"
As Xu Sinian spoke, tears began to fall.
She simply couldn't imagine if Ziyi and Zile encountered such a situation, would they still be as warm and sensible as Yier.
"Why, didn't Yi'er follow Old Seven since she was a child?"
Baili Ruyun's face showed surprise. She only knew that Baili Moqing was poisoned and almost lost his life, but she didn't expect that Yier had such an experience!
Xu Si Nian was stunned. "Doesn't the Third Princess know about this?"
Baili Ruyun's face was slightly embarrassed. "I went back too late last night. I didn't ask for details..."
Xu Cinian told the third princess what had just happened in detail.
After she finished speaking, Xu Sinian's face was full of tears, and Baili Ruyun's eyes were also slightly red, as if tears were welling up in her eyes.
"Xizhu and Nanqi witnessed many of these things with their own eyes! Princess Eleven also saw how emaciated Yi'er looked six months ago."
Last night, she waited in the Eleventh Princess's palace specifically to ask some specific questions.
With what the Eleventh Princess said, plus what her half-sister Xu Si'er heard from Xizhu, these things can basically be confirmed and are all facts.
“How outrageous!!”
The third princess, Baili Ruyun, slammed the table hard, exuding the unique cold and awe-inspiring aura of a royal family.
"How dare a group of slaves mistreat the royal princess like this!!"
"And the Shu family, how dare they treat the royal bloodline like this! How courageous!"
"At this moment, I must report this to my father and ask him to severely punish the Shu family mother and daughter!"
Although she was not as sentimental as Xu Cinian, after hearing such things, as a member of the royal family, she could not accept Yi'er being treated like this!
"Third sister, Guan Huizhi is dead!" Xu Sinian wiped the tears of heartache from her face, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, "I heard that it was Seventh Brother's wife who did it herself!"
Such a person deserves such an end!
The anger on Baili Ruyun's face finally dissipated a little after hearing these words.
"And Shu Yue, her fate is also very ugly now. I heard that she was beaten almost to death by her seventh brother's wife's cousin Liu Ruzhu!"
"Third sister, please don't be angry. Seventh brother is not someone who would let his wife and daughter suffer injustice."
Prince Yong also persuaded the third princess and told her all the news he knew.
Baili Ruyun snorted softly, "Then why did they let those mother and daughter suffer for so many years?!"
Prince Yong chuckled softly and wanted to defend the Seventh Prince. After all, he hadn't had a good time in those years either. He was poisoned and lingered on the brink of death every day...
However, think about it, there seems to be no need to explain, the third princess will not really be angry with the seventh princess.
"Xiao Yier!" Baili Ruyun called out to Yier and waved.
Yi'er wiped the sweat from her forehead and ran over very obediently, "Auntie, you called me?!"
Ziyuan, Zi, and Zile also followed.
The four children were sweating profusely, their hair sticking to their cheeks.
Baili Ruyun held Yier's hand, and the pain in her eyes almost overflowed.
Such a lovely child, it's hard to imagine how she managed to survive those difficult days...
Ziyuan and her got along very well, and they even slept in the same bed last night!
The little child actually told stories to Ziyuan, the older sister, and Ziyuan was so fascinated by the stories that she didn't even want to sleep.
There were things like "a gentle tiger," "a monkey taller than a mountain," and all sorts of strange animals...
It's really amazing that she can have such a rich imagination despite growing up in such a cruel environment!
She took a crystal clear white jade from her neck. The jade was engraved with half dragon and half phoenix. It was given to her biological mother by Emperor Qiwen many years ago.
"Yier, this is top-grade white marble. It's warm in winter and cool in summer. It's a top-grade jade! Wearing it all year round is good for your health! You're not feeling well, so you can wear this jade. The Royal Aunt hopes that you can grow up peacefully and happily!"
This is a token of her appreciation as an aunt.
She didn't want to mention the things in the past anymore. They were her wounds. If she mentioned them again, it would only tear her wounds open and make her sad for the rest of her life.
It would be better to forget those days forever!
Yi'er took the jade, a look of helplessness on her face, and thought silently: "It's jade again!"
"My great-grandfather gave me jade, Uncle Jiang Dongping also gave me jade, and it seems that there is also jade among the gifts given by the emperor... How long will it take to wear them all?!"
"Why, don't you like it?" Baili Ruyun saw that she didn't look very happy, and even had a bit of distress in her eyes, so she said, "If you don't like jade, can the imperial aunt give you something else?"
Yi'er came back to her senses, shook her head and smiled, "Auntie, it's not that I don't like it, I'm just thinking about what gift to give you in return."
Baili Ruyun's eyes lit up and she couldn't help showing surprise on her face.
Such a young child actually thought of "returning a gift"?!
When Ziyuan received a gift, she never thought about giving anything in return!
"Auntie, I have a fruit called 'Golden Fruit'. It's fragrant and sweet. Eating it will warm your body and make you feel refreshed every day! Auntie, if you don't mind, I'll give it to you, okay?"
"Golden Fruit?"
Baili Ruyun had never heard of this name, and guessed it must be a specialty from the north?
However, although it was just an ordinary fruit, it was fortunate that Yi'er had such a thoughtful thought. This kind of thought cannot be compared with any gold, silver or treasure.
