Chapter 41 We are the Princess' Children
Xu Qingbai looked down at his clothes. Although he had received warm winter clothes from the academy, he still lacked a warm quilt.

If I could earn these twenty taels of silver, I wouldn't have to wake myself up from the cold at night.

Besides, if he got sick from the cold again, he would not have any extra money to buy medicine.

Although Xu Qingbai was worried that his face would scare others, after thinking about this, he finally nodded.

The person outside the academy was also dressed as a servant.

When he saw the gatekeeper coming out with a young man dressed as a student, he guessed that he was the person the princess wanted to invite, and quickly lifted the curtain of the carriage for Xu Qingbai.

"Mr. Xu, please come in. My master is waiting for you."

Xu Qingbai looked at the carriage in front of him, and then at the clothes of the servant and the coachman, and concluded that the person who wanted to ask him to copy books must be a wealthy and powerful person, otherwise he would not have used such a luxurious carriage to pick him up.

He hesitated for a moment, but nodded and got on the carriage.

The driver had excellent driving skills and the car drove very smoothly all the way.

After about an incense stick of time, the car stopped steadily.

"Mr. Xu, we are here."

After Xu Qingbai got off the car, he saw an extremely magnificent house.

Before he could take a closer look, the servant who came to pick him up led him all the way to the main house.

After the servant helped him open the warm curtains in the main room, Xu Qingbai immediately saw Princess Chaoyang sitting on the right side of the central hall.

He lowered his head, a wry smile crossing his lips.

Sure enough, what was supposed to come came.

Princess Chaoyang still knew about the existence of his illegitimate child.

This time, I'm afraid I can't escape?
"Mr. Xu, why are you standing there? Please come in." The servant beside him urged.

Xu Qingbai hesitated for a moment, but still stepped into the threshold of the main house.

Since Princess Chaoyang already knows of his existence, he will definitely not be able to escape.

"Brother." Xu Qingbai just walked into the house and heard a familiar voice.

He turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and actually saw Xu Size.

Could it be that Princess Chaoyang has also discovered my brother’s identity?

Thinking of this, Xu Qingbai's expression changed slightly. He looked at Princess Chaoyang with a firm gaze and said, "If Princess wants to find someone to vent her anger on, just find me. Please let my brother go."

"He was sent to the Jade Noodle House by his mother when he was ten years old. He knew nothing."

Princess Chaoyang looked at the young man standing not far away with tears in her eyes.

Xu Yaoyao looked at the young man standing not far away with excitement in her eyes.

The young man was dressed in a blue shirt, simple and elegant, with an air of bookishness.

But he has a slender figure, a cold temperament, elegant eyebrows and handsome eyes, a gentle face, and especially his deep and bright eyes, which seem to be able to see into people's hearts.

Such a young man, even wearing such simple clothes, cannot hide his heavenly appearance.

[Is this my elder brother Xu Qingbai? ! ]

[Oh my god, with this figure and this appearance, it would not be an exaggeration to describe her as a jade-like person or a banished immortal from heaven! ]

[It's a pity that the right half of his face was burned by the charcoal fire, otherwise even if Xu Hanyue stood next to him, he would feel ashamed. ] [I remember that according to the original plot, my eldest brother spent his whole life preparing for Xu Hanyue's wedding. ]

[Xu Hanyue is not only famous for his poems and essays, but also for his essays that won the top three honors in the imperial examinations, becoming a benchmark for Fusu country's literati.]

[After Xu Hanyue became successful, he felt that his elder brother was useless, so he killed him directly, hacking him hundreds of times. He looked like a monster when he died.]

Xu Size: Could it be that his sister can predict the future?

But, this big brother's future is too miserable.
Princess Chaoyang: Oh my God, Xu Hanyue is such a bastard!
He must protect Qing Bai and not give Xu Hanyue any chance to hurt him!

Xu Qingbai: What’s that sound?
Sounds like a baby's voice?

But why did this baby call him "big brother"? And also said that he would be tortured and killed by Xu Hanyue?

Xu Qingbai looked around unconsciously, but did not find any baby.

Looking at the expressions of the others, it seemed like they heard nothing. Could it be that I was hallucinating?
"Brother, you misunderstood. The princess didn't come here to cause us trouble." Xu Size quickly stood up and explained, "She saved me."

Xu Qingbai looked at Xu Size in confusion, "Size, what do you mean by this?"

Thinking of what Xu Jinhuai and Yu Yue'er had done, Xu Size couldn't help but clench his fists, "It was my father and mother, no, it was Xu Jinhuai and Yu Yue'er, they sold me to Mr. Peng for money, and they also drugged me."

Hearing this, Xu Qingbai's face changed drastically.

Everyone in the imperial capital knew what kind of person Mr. Peng was. How could his father and mother treat their own son like this? Are they still human?!
He walked quickly to Xu Size, grabbed his arms and asked, "Size, are you okay?"

I want to comfort you, but I don’t know how to start.

Xu Size quickly shook his head, "No, no, brother, it was Princess Chaoyang who had someone hijack the sedan chair on the way and saved me."

Xu Qingbai seemed a little bit unbelievable, "Princess Chaoyang? Why would she save you?"

Doesn’t she know her and Si Ze’s identities yet?
"Because, because we are the princess's sons." Xu Qingbai was still confused when he suddenly heard these words and was stunned.

"Si Ze, what did you just say?" he asked in disbelief.

Xu Size said excitedly, "Brother, the princess said that we are not Yu Yue'er's children at all. Yu Yue'er and her husband hired someone to steal us away from the princess's mansion. Our biological mother is Princess Chaoyang."

This time, Xu Qingbai's whole body froze.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly and murmured, "So that's how it is. So that's how it is."

"Brother, do you believe, believe what the princess said?" Xu Size never expected that Xu Qingbai would believe Princess Chaoyang's words so easily. After all, he himself still didn't quite believe it.

Considering eldest brother's always cautious character, shouldn't it be the case?

Xu Qingbai smiled bitterly and nodded, "This is the only way to explain it."

"What explanation makes sense?" Xu Size became even more confused.

Xu Qingbai looked at Xu Size and said, "I have heard with my own ears that Xu Hanyue, Xu Nianyue, Xu Linyue and Xu Junyue from the Princess's Mansion called Yu Yue'er mother."

"At the time, I just couldn't understand why they were Princess Chaoyang's children, the legitimate children of the Princess's Mansion, so they called a concubine their mother."

"Now it seems that everything can be explained."

No wonder Yu Yue'er had always treated and tortured him and his brother like slaves, because she had always believed that it was Princess Chaoyang who had snatched away the position of legal wife that originally belonged to her.

She hated Princess Chaoyang so much, and naturally she also hated Princess Chaoyang's child.
