Chapter 324 Everything has changed
Yongqi vomited a mouthful of blood, took a few steps forward and half-knelt on the ground to apologize.
"Uncle Xiao, it's my fault. I didn't take good care of Xiaoyanzi. I'll take any beatings or punishments you want. I will definitely help her get well and will never let her suffer again. I only ask you not to take her away!"
Seeing that the Fifth Prince was still dreaming about these things, Uncle Xiao could no longer hold back his anger, which he had been holding back all the way.
He stepped forward, grabbed Yongqi's collar, and punched him hard in the stomach. "Don't think I wouldn't dare do anything to you just because you're a prince. You really do deserve a beating. I thought you were just a treacherous scum, but I didn't expect you to hurt Yun'er so badly. I can't relieve the hatred in my heart unless I kill you!"
"Not only did you fail to take good care of her, you also hurt her feelings and made her suffer so much. How dare you come up to me and say these things!"
Uncle Xiao punched the Fifth Prince hard, but he didn't dodge and just endured it silently.
The more he acted like a bastard, the angrier Uncle Xiao became. Why? Could he wash away his sins by just bowing his head and enduring it?
Uncle Xiao beat Yongqi like a madman until Yongqi fell to the ground and could no longer make a sound.
He still felt it was not enough, so he stretched out his hand and slashed at Yongqi's meridians. Xiaoyanzi's meridians were destroyed, and Yongqi's could not be spared either!
The immense pain woke Yongqi up from his semi-coma. He wailed and fell down again.
Xiaoyanzi couldn't bear it, so she cried and begged, "Uncle, if you hit him again, he will really die. Please spare him and let us leave now, okay?"
Hearing this, Uncle Xiao snorted coldly and threw Yongqi to the ground.
"You have several brothers and sisters who have gone out to look for you, but I have already sent them a message. They are probably on their way. Let's leave a message for them and go back to Dali."
"Hey." Aunt Xiao responded and walked towards the room with Xiaoyanzi in her arms.
Unexpectedly, Yongqi, who was beaten like a puddle of mud, suddenly struggled and crawled forward, reaching out to grab Xiaoyanzi's trouser legs.
"Xiaoyanzi, please, don't go, don't leave me."
Looking at Yongqi, who was crying bitterly and seemed to be full of regret, Xiaoyanzi sighed, "Fifth Prince, you already have Xinrong and Cailian, so you don't need a little swallow. Let me go. I've had enough of being a little swallow. I also want to be Xiao Yun in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yongqi was overwhelmed with emotion. "It's different! Xiaoyanzi, they are different. I really only have you, only you! If you are not by my side, then what is the point of living?"
"Then come with me to Dali."
Xiaoyanzi looked at Yongqi with a hint of expectation in her heart, but she was destined to be disappointed.
Yongqi was stunned for a moment, but he was still unwilling to let go. "Xiaoyanzi! Are you really going to force me to death? You know very well that my mother can't live without a son like me!"
Uncle Xiao kicked him away and said, "You bastard, your mother can't leave you, so can we leave Yun'er?"
"We have missed Yun'er for eighteen years. Can you please be kind and not stop us from taking the child back since you can't give her happiness?"
Aunt Xiao hugged Xiaoyanzi and cried heartfeltly. She felt extremely sad when she thought of the words of the Fifth Lady. Their niece had suffered so much. Couldn't they let her go now?
The Fifth Prince knelt on the ground, grief-stricken, "Is there no way to have the best of both worlds?"
"No! Your wives and concubines are innocent. We can't force you to divorce them. We won't pursue the harm you inflicted on Yun'er because we've known each other for a while. If you keep pestering me, don't blame me for being rude!"
Uncle Xiao didn't give the Fifth Prince any chance at all. He would not welcome a man like this even if he followed them back to Dali!
Yongqi knelt down and cried bitterly, his cries mixed with endless regret and despair. It was unclear whether he was crying because he was about to lose Xiaoyanzi, or because he had done something to make Xiaoyanzi sad.
Xiaoyanzi looked at the Xiao couple and said, "Uncle and aunt, I have something to say to him. Let's go after we have finished speaking."
"Okay, then uncle will go get the horse and let your aunt wait for you here."
Xiaoyanzi walked up to Yongqi, half-knelt down, and whispered, "Yongqi, why are you crying? I finally have family, don't I? You should be happy for me."
Yongqi looked up at Xiaoyanzi, but there was no happiness in her eyes. Xiaoyanzi was also sad and reluctant. Why did she leave him?
"Of course I'm happy for you, but you can't leave me. Can you please not leave me?"
Xiaoyanzi smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Yongqi can't go back, and neither can we."
"What do you mean I can't go back? Why can't I go back? Aren't you still angry with me about what happened with Xinrong on the Mid-Autumn Festival? I explained to you that I was drugged, why don't you believe it?"
Yongqi was a little hysterical, as if he had really been murdered. He was a tragic character who suffered an unexpected disaster and was not trusted by his loved ones.
In fact, Xiaoyanzi didn't care who he consummated his marriage with. Although it was a big blow to Xiaoyanzi when she saw it that night, after going through so much, Xiaoyanzi became much calmer and understood a lot. They were no longer the same as before.
"No, no, you have changed a long time ago, haven't you?" You don't love me that much anymore.
Xiaoyanzi didn't say this out loud. It would be too pretentious to say it in front of her aunt.
Yongqi was a little discouraged. "Haven't you changed? It's not easy for us to get this far. As long as we love each other, why should we worry about whether we will change or not?"
"Everything has changed, everything has changed." After saying this, Xiaoyanzi did not stay any longer, but stood up and walked towards Aunt Xiao.
Only Yongqi was left kneeling on the ground in a daze.
Has he changed? But he still loves Xiaoyanzi very much, so what difference does it make?
Yongqi couldn't figure it out, but he was clear about one thing: Xiaoyanzi had really figured it out, and she would not stay for him.
Seeing Aunt Xiao holding Xiaoyanzi's hand and getting into the carriage, Yongqi wanted to get up and chase after them, but he had lost his strength, not even the strength to lift his arms or open his mouth.
The severe pain in his body could not compare to the grief in his heart. Yongqi was heartbroken and wanted to leave with Xiaoyanzi immediately.
I don’t know how long it was before suddenly there was a loud sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers on the long street outside the alley. Everyone was cheering. It was Fu Lingan who picked up his bride.
Yongqi came back to his senses, struggled to get up, and staggered out. He wanted to walk into the crowd, into the midst of the cheers.
But after taking a few steps, he fell heavily to the ground and could not get up again.
It was the wedding of Fu Lingan and Jing Yan, and the streets were deserted. Everyone gathered on the long street to celebrate. No one noticed the farce happening in the alley, nor did anyone notice the unconscious Fifth Prince.
