‘Someone told him to do it?’

Yu Yunxi was shocked. She quickly asked, “Godfather, who was it?”

“I don’t think you know Sheng, but he’s my adopted son. Many years ago, he left the King of Xinan’s Residence. After that, his whereabouts are unknown.

However, one day, he sent me a letter, asking me to save someone. At that time, you were already sent to the entrance of the residence…”

‘No wonder Godfather and the others looked at me strangely when I first came…’

Subsequently, Shen Si told Yu Yunxi about his godson, Feng Sheng.

Feng Sheng was the former Eldest Princess’ son. He took his mother’s surname, and he was three years older than Shen Hezhi. He had grown up in the King of Xinan’s Residence. After his mother passed, he left without saying goodbye.

Following that, Shen Si’s words were similar to those of Feng Yili.

“Godfather, may I ask why the Eldest Princess left the capital for Xinan back then?” Yu Yunxi asked with a frown, puzzled.

Shen Si stroked his beard and said solemnly, “Given the situation in the imperial court back then, if she had stayed in the capital, she would have died eventually. We grew up together, and she was like a sister to me. How could I bear to see her in danger in the capital? Hence, your godmother and I protected her and let her hide in Xinan…”

‘So that’s what happened…’

Although Shen Si did not elaborate on the situation back then, Yu Yunxi could still guess a thing or two.

Seeing the expression on Yu Yunxi’s face, Shen Si asked, “Feng Yili has told you about some of these things, right?”

“Godfather, you…”

“Are you curious why I was so prejudiced against Feng Yili in the past, but I suddenly allowed him to stay?” Shen Si asked.

“Could it be that… he used this matter…’

Yu Yunxi wanted to ask if Feng Yili had used this matter to blackmail Shen Si, but after thinking about it, she felt that her words were inappropriate so she did not say them out loud.

Shen Si shook his head. He knew what she was going to say. He smiled and said, “It’s not like that. Feng Yili is a gentleman. He didn’t threaten me. However, he did find out a lot about Sheng and the eldest princess. He also knew the reason why I took you in.”

That day, when Feng Yili said he knew the reason why the King of Xinan’s Residence had taken Yu Yunxi in, Shen Si’s heart had sank.

“He knew the reason?” Yu Yunxi was shocked.

Seeing her expression, Shen Si said, “Don’t blame him. I think he didn’t say anything to you because he wanted to protect your relationship with the King of Xinan’s Residence, and he didn’t want you to be sad.”

Then, he said seriously, “Although I accepted you as my goddaughter because of Sheng’s request, your godmother and I have long regarded you as our own…”

Yu Yunxi quickly said, “I know this, Godfather…”

No matter what the reasons were, Yu Yunxi knew that Shen Si, Jiang Ru, and Shen Hezhi treated her and the little bun like their own.

“I decided to tell you these things before you leave for the capital so I can put down the stone in my heart. Just remember that no matter that, Xinan is your home. If you miss home, you can come back whenever you want. If you’re bullied, your family will protect you,” Shen Si said seriously, “Alright, it’s getting late. You should make a move soon. Otherwise, it won’t be safe to travel at night. I’ve arranged for more than twenty secret guards to follow you. I’ve also written letters to the governors of various provinces to ensure your safety.”

In fact, the Emperor had sent many people to escort Yu Yunxi and the others back to the capital. After all, Nan Xun was with them. The Emperor was more worried than anyone else that something would happen along the way. However, those people were all the Emperor’s men. As such, Shen Si could not rest assured. After all, it concerned Yu Yunxi and the little bun’s safety.

Yu Yunxi felt very relieved when he heard Shen Si’s arrangements. She nodded slightly and said, “Thank you, Godfather.”

After reminding Yu Yunxi about a few more things, Shen Si suddenly turned around and said, “Alright, I’ve said everything that needed to be said. You should… go..

If one listened carefully, one could hear a slight tremble in Shen Si’s voice when he spoke. It was not that he did not want to see Yu Yunxi and the little bun off, but he was afraid that he would feel even more reluctant. After all, due to her and the little bun’s presence, the King of Xinan’s Residence had been filled with laughter in recent years. When they were away in the capital previously, they were dearly missed. Now that they were returning to the

Prince Regent’s Residence for good, how could he not feel reluctant?

Yu Yunxi’s eyes were slightly red. She took a deep breath and said, “Godfather, take care.”

After saying that, she left the study.

As soon as Yu Yunxi walked out, she saw Feng Yili and the little bun waiting for her nearby. Seeing the two identical faces, her heart calmed down slightly.

Feng Yili quickly walked over and held her hand. He knew that she must be sad having to leave so he silently comforted her.

“I’m fine,” Yu Yunxi said as she shook her head gently. Then, she asked in a low voice, “Is everything ready?”

“Yes. We can set off at any time,” Feng Yili replied.

Yu Yunxi looked up and saw her godmother and godbrother waiting for her as well.

“Go to the capital first. When I get better, I’ll come and find you,” Shen Hezhi said. He did not want Yu Yunxi to worry so he tried his best to sound relaxed.

“Alright. Godmother, Godbrother, Yunxi will leave first,” Yu Yunxi said solemnly before she turned around and left. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would feel even more reluctant to leave.

The little bun’s eyes were wet. He knew that it would be difficult to meet again after leaving this time.

Feng Yili picked the little bun up and carried the latter out. He said comfortingly, “If you want to return to Xinan in the future, Father will accompany you and your mother back..”

At the entrance of the King of Xinan’s Residence.

Many horses and carriages were parked outside.

Feng Weiping, who was sitting in one of the carriages, complained, “How long is she going to dawdle? Do I, the Fourth Princess of Tianxia, have to wait for a mere Yu Yunxi?”

Yu Yongnian, who was riding a horse outside the carriage, said calmly, “If the

Fourth Princess can’t wait, the Fourth Princess can return to the capital first. I’ll send someone to escort you so you don’t have to worry.”

“General Yu, you…” Feng Weiping was extremely vexed. Naturally, she did not want to wait for Yu Yunxi. However, she could only endure it for Yu Yongnian and Nan Xun.

‘Aren’t his words helping Yu Yunxi? Yu Yunxi brought so much chaos to the Yu family. Shouldn’t he hate her?’

Yu Yongnian’s cold gaze swept through the surroundings. Suddenly, he saw the little bun coming out. He was delighted and wanted to call out to the little bun.Ever since he met the little bun, he had been thinking about the little bun. However, when he saw Feng Vili carrying the little bun, his enthusiasm was halved. His expression returned to its usual frostiness…
