Chapter 442: Chapter 417, Granting Her the Title of a County Princess_1

“Where’s the hawk?”

After Xiao Yeyang finished writing the letter, he realized that the hawk used for delivering messages was missing.

Daohua: “After I caught those people from Brother Five, I immediately sent the hawk to deliver the message to you. Didn’t you receive it?”

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: “I didn’t receive it.” If he had, he would have definitely rushed back immediately.

Daohua frowned: “Could something have happened to the hawk?”

...

Xiao Yeyang fell silent, not saying anything.

The leader of the Wei clan would definitely not let the news about Uncle Emperor leak out, so that hawk was most probably dead.

Thinking about how Daohua always fed the hawk personally every time she came over and worried that she might be sad, Xiao Yeyang then said, “Perhaps it just got lost. No worries, I’ll bring you another one next time.”

Seeing the look of disappointment on Daohua’s face, Xiao Yeyang mentally added another grievance against Wei Qi.

Knocking Daohua unconscious and killing the hawk, he would demand retribution for both injustices in the future.

“Achoo!”

On the main road leading to Beijing, Wei Qi, riding his horse properly, suddenly sneezed, prompting Wu Jingyi to look over.

Wu Jingyi: “Leader Wei, you haven’t been looking well these past two days. Are you sick?”

Wei Qi shook his head: “No.”

Seeing the red veins in his eyes, Wu Jingyi said gravely, “Just hold on a little longer. You can rest once we get back to Beijing.”

Wei Qi nodded, remaining vigilant as he looked around, quickly escorting the carriage behind him.

…

The day after Xiao Yeyang arrived at Taohua Temple, Yan Wenkai and Wentao also returned.

Seeing the two men, who looked even worse than beggars, standing outside the manor gates, Daohua was slightly stunned.

If Brother Xiaoliu hadn’t informed her in advance that they were her third and fourth brothers, she might have hesitated to recognize them.

Xiao Yeyang, on the other hand, struggled to contain his laughter.

Listening to Daohua’s recount of how they captured Uncle Emperor and the others, he had anticipated that Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai would definitely be punished.

Governor Wu was not known for his soft-heartedness. After all, he once threw the heir to the Marquis Residence, who had offended him, into a coal kiln without a second word; by the time the heir was taken back, he had almost turned into a stick figure, taking half a year to recover.

With this in mind, Xiao Yeyang took a closer look at the expressions of Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai.

Seeing that their eyes were still relatively bright despite their disheveled appearance, he knew they were not seriously harmed.

Governor Wu had shown restraint after all.

“Third Brother, Fourth Brother…”

Daohua walked towards Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao but stopped after a few steps, not daring to approach any further.

The smell… was too overpowering!

She was tempted to retreat, but just then, Yan Wenkai said with a look of reproach, “Big sister, are you despising us?”

Seeing her fourth brother with his tear-stricken face blackened with soot, Daohua’s mouth twitched. Holding her breath, she replied with reluctance, “I’m not despising you.”

Yan Wenkai: “Then why don’t you come closer to us?”

“Don’t you have any self-awareness?”

Xiao Yeyang walked up beside Daohua and immediately felt the air thickening, barely holding back before swiftly pulling Daohua several meters back. Only when the unpleasant smell was no longer in his nose, did he stop.

“Lucky I didn’t eat much this morning, otherwise, I’d definitely vomit.”

Daohua had been fine until she heard that but suddenly felt a surge in her stomach and ran to the side to throw up, covering her mouth.

“Are you okay?”

Xiao Yeyang quickly followed her and helped pat her back.

“If you can’t stand it, don’t hold back. Why make yourself suffer?”

Then, looking back at Yan Wenkai and Wentao who were still standing motionless, “What are you doing standing there? Do you think you look glorious or smell enticing? Hurry up and go inside the manor to clean up; don’t embarrass yourselves.”

After speaking, he turned back to Daohua, continuing to pat her back, no longer paying attention to the two brothers.

Seeing that he couldn’t garner any sympathy from his sister, Yan Wenkai pursed his lips and followed Wentao into the manor.

After the two had left, Daohua stood up, took the warm water Wang Manman offered to rinse her mouth, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief before she said, “Aren’t Brother Five’s people being too cruel?”

Xiao Yeyang replied with a faint smile, “It’s not too bad.”

Daohua then asked, “I was the one who knocked them out, and I was even thinking of pricking them with needles. Why didn’t they seek revenge on me?”

Xiao Yeyang said at once, “They wouldn’t dare! Alright, they’re gone now. Don’t think about them anymore.”
