When he heard that, Jia Li turned her head towards the girl with the soft skin. He wanted to pinch her and touch the shiny black hair that belonged to her. The roses she wears make her more beautiful and radiant.
After the girl joined, everyone was vying for her attention. Not because she was beautiful, but she was very kind and had a very graceful attitude.
“Thank you for accepting me. Later, we will be brothers together and protect each other. My name is Xuan Yi, I am from Yellow Flower village.”
So he said to introduce himself when the Princess of the Su empire took him.
Su Jiao's imperial daughter, Su Jiao, introduced her as the only daughter she had and told all the servants to protect her.
Jia Li smiled faintly. “Did the princess ever see it?”
Xuan Yi thought for a moment. “No, but I often see the flowers will grow more than those dried flowers. It will grow a lot. In my village there are some flowers growing. People never cared about it, so I cleaned it often and took care of it.”
“Your princess is right. But these flowers are the same as Bamboo plants, even if they are removed, they will still grow.”
“So yes..” Xuan Yi nodded. “If that's the case, let me help.”
“Eh, don't princess, just let aunt do it.” Jia Li stopped Xuan Yi.
“It's okay aunt, anyway I've got tired of keeping quiet. My mother also does not want to talk to me, even just for a moment.”
Jia Li let him. “Mr Su Jiao's daughter is now busy.”
“Auntie's right, I'll wait for her.”

During the day, Xuan Yi finally called his mother to eat. He's nodding. Before going inside, he had washed his hands cleanly.
Su Jiao since this morning had been observing her illegitimate child, she thought the girl would have a wild attitude, even she had imagined if the child would be so dirty and ugly.
But all that was denied when he met her. And to his astonishment, when he took out his sword to test the boy, the young girl's face remained calm. He said in a flat tone, “I am not afraid of death, because it is a natural thing, when I kill people, it is also for me very natural. Madam, what caused you to want to kill me?”
Su Jiao fell silent, then re-inserted her sword. “Who are you staying with?”
“Now I live alone. My father had died four years ago of insanity.”
“Where is your album?”
“He'll be here any minute. My dad said, he'll pick me up when I'm 12.” Xuan Yi walked to the edge of the room picking up a drink and pouring it over.
He extended that to Su Jiao. “I've been waiting for him these few days, but it seems like there is an obstacle in the way, so he might come two or three more days.”
Su Jiao was the person he was waiting for. Hearing what Xuan Yi said, he was a little saddened at not being able to meet Tong Mu. He drank the drink he was given, then looked at the ceiling and the corners of the room.
Xuan Yi smiled. “Mistress, What made you come here?”
“Taking you away.”

Various dishes had been prepared at the table, Xuan Yi was so excited to see them. This luxury and delicious food he never tasted. And this was the first time he had seen her.
He took a bowl, then a pinch of rice and poured soup into it, then ate.
As the person who had given birth to her, She was a princess of the Su empire who was extremely graceful and had a good reputation, even if it came from her, it should not bequeath her attitude perfectly. But what it looks like, the girl is very similar to him.
‘Is this girl not my son?’ Su Jiao had another thought. He thought that what was in front of him was not his own son. Despite having the exact same attitude as him, among nobles that attitude was already common, so perhaps Xuan Yi was not his son, but rather the other noble children that existed in the empire, he said, he has the same name as his son.
Thinking of this there was certainly a strong reason, because his father was not a good person. It could be, He had killed his son and was looking for another girl who was there and would ask for money in return when Su Jiao picked up her son. If so where is his son now?

Lunch was finally finished, Su Jiao stood up gracefully. Xuan Yi quickly drank some water and asked his mother. “Can I do anything in this house?”
Su Jiao looked at him. “What's it like?”
“Such as help the waiters clean the garden and decorate the room.”
“Why do you want to do it?”
“Because I'm usually at home always doing the job. So, I'm not used to being quiet like this and just watching. I'm really pissed if those waiters won't give me permission.”
It had been several times that Xuan Yi had wanted to help those servants, but only Jia Li understood and let it go.
“I guessed it, you're not my son.”
“Means mother?”
“You never heard of, about your father's fame?”
Xuan Yi nodded. “I of course know it, he is a criminal who is afraid of his retribution.”
Then Su Jiao said, “He is a very smart and ingenious criminal. He's a bad guy and does everything he can to get his wish. He is very sly and sadistic. So, with her attitude, she would never want to take care of a baby. He has killed Xuan Yi, my son, and he has replaced him with you. Have you been kidnapped by her?”
Xuan Yi did not react in surprise or disappointment, instead he agreed to it by saying, “You're right mother, I should have inherited my father's attitude not like this, which makes you suspicious, I'm not your son, I'm not your son, but what you see is not a fake, I am your bastard son. When I was a child, he was often indistinctly angry. You see this.”
Xuan Yi pointed at his forehead which had a small scar. “He once hit me to the point of bleeding. But because of her sickly body, she became more and more tender and educated me well. If he had been harsh in his youth, then I would have been killed by him. But because of her illness, she let me live until now. There's no reason for you to suspect me, that I'm not your son.”
“You inherited your mother's attitude too much, I don't see Tong Mu's rude attitude.”
“Mother, only you know this. I killed that criminal so horribly. I once made eyeball soup out of a bunch of crooks. You don't have to doubt me.”
Xuan Yi smiled. “Alright, thank you for serving such delicious cuisine. I never eat food like this. Later, someday, I will reply to her, mother.”
Xuan Yi took the bowl he had used and stood up.
“Where are you going to bring that bowl?”
“I'll wash it, mom. It would be very good if I had to be independent.”
After Xuan Yi left, Su Jiao looked at him. ‘He is like a red rose filled with thorns’

When the sun began to be half visible, a woman walked across the grave. He carried several flowers of different colors in his basket. Walking for a while, he finally found the grave he wanted to visit.
There, there are two graves the first, aged 4 years and the second aged 8 days before. He took the flowers and spread them in the new grave quietly. “Ning’er, you have become a victim.”
