Chapter 2962: Chapter 2962: Old Acquaintance (Part 4)
Xu Huairui frowned. An old acquaintance? This is Jin Country, this is Shangjing, where would an old acquaintance come from? She couldn’t help but let out a self-deprecating smile, thinking perhaps someone was just making up an excuse, and directly refused, "Just say I do not see guests."
The servant left, but soon returned, "The other party said someone from your family has come."
Xu Huairui furrowed her brow even tighter, but this time she did not refuse and called the person in.
The man was a very ordinary old man, accompanied by a middle-aged couple. Entering the room, they did not kneel, but instead clasped their hands and bent in salutation, "Greetings, Princess of Pingning."
At this moment, Xu Huairui did not bother to care about their lack of courtesy but casually glanced at them, "Sit down."
The three thanked her and took their seats.
"Who are you? Where are you from?" Xu Huairui did not put on airs but proactively inquired, because by their accent it was clear they were from Daxuan, which made her feel particularly close.
The old man glanced around.
Xu Huairui raised her hand, "You all may leave." Once the room was left with only her trusted aide, she looked at the several people again, "Can you speak now?"
"My name is Qi Jingyun." The old man looked at Xu Huairui, "I come from Daxuan." He said while raising a token.
Xu Huairui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and came over to carefully look at the token, before lifting her gaze to Qi Jingyun, "You... are you really Uncle Yun the King?" Her eyes reddened, but she tried hard to hold back her tears.
Qi Jingyun nodded, "Huairui, have these years treated you well?"
Xu Huairui’s tears could no longer be restrained, streaming down her face.
Qi Jingyun raised his hand to pat Xu Huairui’s shoulder, "I specifically came to see you."
Xu Huairui cried for a moment, then used a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Uncle Yun the King, you still remember me, this person married into another country for political alliance?" Her tone was filled with grievance.
"How could we not remember? You are also a member of the Imperial Family." Qi Jingyun nodded.
Xu Huairui sniffed, "My mother, my grandmother, are they, are they alright?"
"The Xu Family is doing quite well, it’s just that the old county lord’s health has become somewhat weak, she previously went to Huguo Temple to pray for you." Qi Jingyun’s tone was quite calm.
Xu Huairui’s tears fell once more.
Qi Jingyun did not have the time to stay and watch her cry, so he quickly interrupted her, "Huairui, originally the marriage alliance was for the friendship between the two countries, but now, the Jin Country Emperor has been manipulated, and soon he will instigate war against Daxuan."
Xu Huairui instantly stopped crying, raising her tear-filled eyes to look at Qi Jingyun, "Does what you said mean there is something I need to do?"
Qi Jingyun nodded.
"Haha." Xu Huairui suddenly let out a cold laugh, "I said, how could it be that some old acquaintance suddenly came to see me? Turns out it’s because I still have value to be used." She sniffed, "I’m sorry, but I am merely someone abandoned by the state, I can do nothing." After speaking, she stood up and intended to walk away.
"Xu Huairui." Qi Jingyun suddenly shouted at her with a stern voice, "Are you sure you want to refuse?"
Xu Huairui didn’t speak, but didn’t move her feet further either.
"You are Daxuanian." Qi Jingyun’s tone chilled down, "The marriage alliance was for the peace of Daxuan, but now Jin Country behaves unjustly, how can we possibly continue to let you suffer here?"
Xu Huairui abruptly turned back, "What do you mean?"
