Chapter 707 How should she ask Xiao Tingchen for it?
"uncle!"

Su Jiu ran to the back door of the Prince's Mansion in one breath, and immediately recognized the middle-aged man sitting on the steps.

Over the years, his temples have turned gray, and even his back has faded a lot.

The tip of Su Jiu's nose was sore, and his soft voice was full of longing, "Uncle!"

The middle-aged man hurriedly got up and turned to her, his eye circles turned red instantly, "Xiaojiu!"

Su Jiu rushed over and hugged Uncle Su's waist, his tears were all on the lapel of his clothes.

Uncle Su patted her head fondly, "How old is a girl, why are you still acting like a baby with uncle?"

"I really miss Uncle..." Su Jiu wiped away tears, raised his head and smiled stupidly at him, "It's Xiaojiu who is unfilial. He has been in Chang'an for more than two years, but he has never returned to Jinling to visit Uncle."

She grabbed the man's rough palm, "Uncle is coming to Chang'an this time, but is he planning to stay here?"

"That's what I mean." Uncle Su caressed her slender back, "It's just, Xiaojiu, you..."

He hesitated.

Su Jiu blushed.

She wrote to her uncle a few months ago, saying that she had become Princess Yong.

But now that she is wearing the uniform of a maidservant, and her face is ashamed, my uncle must be suspicious.

She lowered her head, "It's a long story, I'll talk it over with Uncle later...By the way, Uncle, my mother was hit on the head by a beam when the fire broke out in Yanziji, and she is still in a coma. Now she lives in the inn, and is taken care of by my two maidservants. How about you go and see her?"

"Naturally." Uncle Su held her little hand instead, with a firm look in his eyes, "I came to Chang'an this time mainly for your mother."

Su Jiu couldn't hear the meaning behind his words, and saw that both Jiang Shi and Su Liu were still sitting in the carriage, but Su Tang was the only one missing.

She was puzzled, "Uncle, where is my cousin?"

After asking, she noticed a special aura emanating from the man.

It was extraordinarily powerful and cold, and she was vaguely familiar with it.

"Uncle?" Su Jiu was puzzled.

Uncle Su smiled, "There are some family secrets, and it's not time to explain them to Xiaojiu."

Su Jiu probed: "Is it related to the royal family in southern Xinjiang?"

Uncle Su was taken aback, "You already know?"

He led Su Jiu to sit on the steps under the eaves, and told her in detail about the royal family in southern Xinjiang.

"Decades ago, the major aristocratic families in southern Xinjiang were separated from each other and fought against each other, resulting in turmoil in the court. In order to avoid disaster, the royal family in southern Xinjiang fled Jiangdu and lived in seclusion. Your mother and I were born by the late emperor during his escape. My child. Xiaojiu, I have witnessed the cruelty of the family struggle for power in southern Xinjiang. I made an agreement with your mother to settle in Daqi and never return to Jiangdu in this life.

"It's a pity that the family is not willing to let us go. The fire in Yanziji was caused by the assassins sent by the family. I killed those assassins, but I mistakenly thought that your mother was buried in the flames, so I can only take you back to Xiaowan village."

Su Jiu understood.

No wonder the powerful aura on her uncle was a little familiar just now. It turned out that the person who rescued her from the flames of Yanziji was my uncle.

She looked at her uncle.

The man lowered his eyes, his whole body was cold and vicissitudes, with the helplessness unique to middle-aged men.

He was very different from the usual honest and honest man.

She was ignorant, "The cousin..."

Uncle Su considered his words carefully, "We were on the way to Chang'an, and we were discovered by spies from southern Xinjiang. They are loyal to different families, and some families hope that southern Xinjiang can restore peace, so they support the royal family. Your cousin..."

"He has returned to Southern Border to inherit the throne." Su Jiu spoke out for him, "It's just that Southern Border is dangerous, cousin... can he parry it?"

"That's the way he chose. He said that his things were taken away by others, and only if he is strong enough can he have the chance to get them back." Uncle Su sighed helplessly, "Your aunt and cousin still think that your cousin You have gone to the frontier to join the army, so don't lie in front of them. Your aunt loves her son, and you know it."

Su Jiu nodded sensibly.

She glanced at her aunt who was looking around from the carriage. She was dressed in ordinary clothes with patches on her sleeves...

It can be seen that life is not rich.

She said softly: "Uncle is going to live in the inn first. I still have some money. If I have a chance, I will take it out and give it to Uncle. You can build a small house in Chang'an, and then add some clothes and jewelry to my aunt and cousin."

Uncle Su is really nervous.

Although he has a good kung fu, but the traces of southern Xinjiang are too strong. These years, he has been pretending to be an ordinary farmer for fear of being discovered, and dare not show the slightest.

In addition, he is simple and honest by nature, so he doesn't know how to get rich.

He frowned, "But uncle sees that you are in a difficult situation, where can you get money?"

"Don't worry about me, uncle, I can always find a solution." Su Jiu smiled sweetly.

After seeing off his uncle's family, Su Jiu walked along the Chaoshou corridor to the kitchen.

The embroidered shoes tapped and tapped, and she hesitated.

She used to have a box of bank notes in Prince Yong's Mansion, which contained tens of thousands of taels.

only……

How should she ask Xiao Tingchen for it?

The girl turned the corner, just in time to bump into Rong Yao who came out to visit the garden.

She took two steps back, bowed her head and saluted.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Rong Yao's complexion was ugly, and there was unhappiness between his brows.

She was curious in her heart, she has become the prince's side concubine, why does Rong Yao look like she is dying?

Rong Yao also recognized her.

She shook the veil angrily, "I don't know who it is, so it's you..."

"I've seen the side concubine." Su Jiu's voice was like a gnat.

Rong Yao rolled her eyes, sat next to the beauty, and said coldly: "Listen to my younger brother, you were imprisoned in a dark prison by the crown prince for a whole month? You must have lived a miserable life, right?"

"I don't need to worry about what happened to me."

Rong Yao sneered, "My father and brother were exiled, my mother was in a coma, and I became a maidservant from the daughter of the Duke's mansion. Su Jiu, if I were you, I might as well ram him to death!"

Su Jiu's face was calm, "It's so easy to die. You can jump from a tall building, or cut your wrist with a knife, and you can die. But what problem can death solve? If I die, can my father and brother come back from the border? Will my mother wake up?"

Rong Ruo choked.

She stared at Su Jiu for a while, then said coldly: "I used to hate you, but now I hate you even more! You and the prince are not in the same line at all, why would he—"

It took her a lot of effort to suppress the "I like you" that was about to blurt.

She has been married to the prince for many days, but the prince has no intention of touching her at all!
I heard that even Huayue Ji has never been favored by the crown prince!

Su Jiu didn't notice the jealousy on Rong Yao's face, he bowed back to her, and went straight to the small kitchen.

Before she stepped into the small kitchen, she could smell a burning smell from afar!

The girl's complexion changed drastically, and she rushed in. Jing Zhe was holding the tongs, and was hurriedly tongs out firewood.

Seemingly hearing footsteps, he turned his head and said with a sad face, "Miss, I'm sorry..."

A beautiful little maid came to the kitchen just now, he was so busy chatting up a conversation that he forgot about the fire in the stove for a while.

The corners of Su Jiu's mouth twitched, and he silently scooped up the crab roe porridge. The porridge was supposed to be soft and fragrant, but it gave off a sticky smell. Although it was not impossible to eat, but people like Xiao Tingchen...
