Yunhuai came very quickly and bowed to Zhao Xi according to the rules when entering the door.

Zhao Xi just heard Xue Yinhuan say that her grandfather's family is in Jiangnan, and her biological mother can make wine, and she also passed on her unique skills, but she was too young at that time and didn't learn much.

As for the Yun family, this is his first contact.

Looking at Yunhuai, Zhao Xi asked, "I don't know what this person is called?"

The engagement with Xue Yinhuan has not yet been implemented, so it would be frivolous and rude to call my uncle at this time.

Yunhuai bowed, "The Liulang of the Yun family, the only name is Yi Huai."

Zhao Xi suddenly realized, "It turned out to be Yun Liulang, sitting."

After the two sat opposite each other, Zhao Xi was straight to the point, "I heard that Yun Liulang has something to do with me?"

He did not directly call Xue Yinhuan's name, which was to preserve her reputation. Otherwise, a girl's house would have gone to the Divine Soldiers Department to wait for him for three consecutive days, and it would be unpleasant to be heard after all.

From the perspective of his elders, Yunhuai did not agree with his niece's marriage. Even if the other party is a prince and a concubine is a concubine, he will be suppressed by his wife for the rest of his life.

"Yun is the accurate concubine of Your Highness, Xue Yinhuan's uncle. I will come to Beijing this time, first, I will ask Your Highness for your concern. Second, on behalf of all the elders of Yun, why do you want to take Huan'er as your concubine?"

As early as when Xue Yinhuan said that her uncle came for the engagement, Zhao Xi guessed that they would have such a question, but she was inevitably confused about why her family had almost no objection to Xue Yinhuan's marriage, but instead, her grandfather's family took the initiative to come to the capital?

Yun Huai easily saw through the other party's thoughts and smiled, "Don't be surprised by your highness. Huan'er's parents died, and no one in her family helped her to take care of her. The grandfather's family will inevitably have to work harder to support her."

Zhao Xi nodded, "As Yun Liulang said, Miss Xue's parents are not here, she needs someone to take care of her, and I can promise to take care of her for the rest of my life."

"So, Your Highness has actually taken her as his concubine out of guilt for my brother-in-law, right?"

Zhao Xi did not deny it.

He has always been stern and is not good at sweet words. In front of the Yun family's uncle, he cannot lie and say that he cares about Xue Yinhuan.

Zhao Xi's answer and reaction were as expected by Yunhuai, and he chuckled and said, "There are many people in the world who can promise to take care of her for the rest of her life, but you, your Highness, cannot give her the position of the wife."

The slender fingers played with the black glaze cup on the table, and his tone was solemn, "Whether your highness is trying to repay the kindness or guilt, the Yun family appreciated this feeling, but they still wanted to ask your highness to reconsider the matter of taking the concubine.

The Yun family is not a famous family. Yun dares to say these words to His Highness today, all thanks to his niece. If His Highness is willing to accept Yun's opinions and let Huan'er return to freedom, the Yun family will be grateful. If His Highness insists on accepting her, Yun has nothing to say."

The words are expressed sincerely without any leakage.

Zhao Xi could see that the man opposite could not be a few years older than him, but he was really an elder in his manner.

"I can understand Yun Liulang's concerns." Zhao Xi said: "But this matter was originally made by Miss Xue himself. Now there are variables. Should I ask Miss Xue's opinion?"

Yun Huai's face was calm, "Marriage events, parents' orders and matchmakers' words, Huan'er's parents are not here, I, as an uncle, cannot let her ignore it. She is only fifteen years old this year, and the girl's family will inevitably be short-sighted and inconsiderate. I can follow her any other matters, but marriage is not enough. As long as your highness is willing to let her return to freedom, whether she will live or die in the future, or cause some disaster, the Yun family will come forward to take responsibility."

The Yun family's attitude is very tough, which shows that they are not ordinary concern for Xue Yinhuan and only pay much attention to him than his family.

Zhao Xi was relieved to have such relatives to take care of him. "Since Yun Liulang has said this, I naturally cannot tie her up. Let's do this. If you give me a few days, you have to think of a way to the best of both worlds, which can not only break the engagement smoothly, but also not damage her reputation."

Yunhuai bowed and thanked him.

Putting aside Xue Yinhuan's affairs, Yun Huaiting admired the young prince opposite him, who was only fifteen years old. Although he was not as mature and steadfast, he had at least matured in terms of words, deeds and ideas.

After a while of silence, Yun Huai smiled and sent an invitation, "I heard that Your Highness is riding and shooting, I wonder if Yun can have the opportunity to discuss with you?"

Zhao Xi did not have any concerns about what happened just now, and agreed readily, "When this matter goes well, let's choose a day."

"One word is determined."

...

Xue Yinhuan had been waiting outside the teahouse, and soon she saw the two people coming down.

She thought her uncle would have a dispute with the eldest prince over this matter, but the two of them were peaceful and didn't seem to be unhappy.

"Uncle." Xue Yinhuan went forward and called out.

In front of Zhao Xi, she had no nerve to ask how the conversation was.

After several people parted ways, she spoke softly, "Didn't my uncle quarrel with His Highness?"

Yun Huai looked at her for a while and answered the question, "Huan'er, the eldest prince has agreed to terminate your engagement. From now on, the Xue family will not care about you, the Yun family will not care about you, the Xue family will not give you what the Xue family can't give you, the Yun family will give you."

Xue Yinhuan was stunned for a moment and asked Yunhuai, "Has he agreed?"

"You have no jokes."

"Oh." Xue Yinhuan turned around.

On the way back home, the uncle and nephew were speechless.

...

"Sister, are you back?" Xue Yan was feeding the rabbits. When he saw his uncle and sister, he shouted hello.

"A Yan." Xue Yinhuan walked to him, squatted down slowly, reached out to rub the rabbit's snow-white fluff, and asked him: "You were feeding me when we went there, why are you still feeding me now? Are you not afraid of eating too much?"

Xue Yan said: "I have to feed the two little things as soon as possible. When I leave, they will be energetic to accompany my sister."

As he said that, he glanced at Xue Yinhuan's expression, then looked at Yun Huai standing behind him, and asked timidly, "Uncle, how are you talking?"

Yunhuai said: "Your sister will not be a concubine anymore. I will go to your grandfather later and re-convene her marriage."

The siblings squatted on the ground with their backs facing Yunhuai and fed the rabbits. Xue Yan approached Xue Yinhuan and asked, "Sister, are you happy?"

Xue Yinhuan pulled the corner of her mouth and didn't say anything.

Xue Yan said: "If you have any ideas, you can tell your uncle that he is not such an unreasonable person."

Xue Yinhuan lowered her eyelashes, "My father and mother are not here, my uncle is an elder, and the elders should decide the major issues of marriage."

"But you have to feel unhappy, and you will be unhappy if you marry someone else in the future."

"A Yan, your affairs are not as simple as you think."

"I don't understand." Xue Yan scratched his head, "I'm just worried that if my sister marrys a man she doesn't like, she will be like our mother..."

Xue Yinhuan's face suddenly changed, and she stopped him, "A Yan!"

Then he turned around to look at Yunhuai with his back stiff. Sure enough, when he saw his uncle's eyes became complicated, as if he was suddenly covered with a layer of dark mist. The cinnabar between his eyebrows seemed particularly sharp and sharp at this time.

Xue Yinhuan pursed her lips, "Uncle, A Yan..."

Before she could finish her words, Yunhuai turned around and left.

Xue Yinhuan patted her chest in fear and pretended to twist Xue Yan's ears, "You are not allowed to mention your mother in front of anyone else, especially your uncle and grandfather. Do you understand?"

Xue Yan realized that he had said the wrong thing later, and drooped his head and said "Oh".

"You!" Xue Yinhuan felt distressed and helpless, "When will we grow up?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Yan slowly raised his head and looked at her with aggrieved eyes, "Sister, do you dislike me?"

Xue Yinhuan was angry at him, "Yes, sister dislikes you, then you should be angry and work hard to grow up. Don't worry about it anymore."

Xue Yan's eyes turned red when he heard this, and suddenly leaned on her shoulder, "Sister, I miss my mother. When I was at my grandfather's house, I didn't even dare to mention a word, for fear that my uncle would be angry. Every year, I can only cry happily on my mother's death day."

"I miss my mother too." Xue Yinhuan said, "But she is no longer here. You are a little man. When my sister gets married, she can't go to Jiangnan to see you. You have to be strong by yourself and don't cry easily, do you know?"

"Yeah." Xue Yan nodded with a sob.

——

Yunhuai walked out of Xue Yan's yard.

The nephew's words just now reminded him of some past events. His face was not very good. He ignored him when a servant said hello to him along the way. He walked along the bank of the lotus pond and stopped under the weeping willow tree. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and punched the thick tree trunk.

It happened that at this moment, the butler of the Shangshu Mansion came over and was startled by him when he saw this, "Uncle, are the servants in the mansion angry about not listening to the order?"

Yun Huai closed his eyes, curled away the anger in his eyes, turned his head, and his expression was much gentler, "When will Secretary Xue go to the yamen?"

The housekeeper said: "I guess there is still a while. If my uncle wants something urgent, I will arrange for someone to go to the government office to say it."

"No need." Yun Huai rubbed his skin-wrinkled hand and walked forward. The sound floated back, "When will he come back? Let's let me know if it's right."
