After hearing A Piao's words, aunt just sighed silently and didn't say anything.
Ah Piao was not in a hurry for her to reply, and her intuition told her that the matter that her aunt was hiding must be quite big and difficult to talk about.
She turned her head and looked at His Highness, and saw the other person dipped his hand into the water in the tea cup and wrote a sentence on the table.
"Look at aunt's expression."
After writing this line, His Highness raised his eyebrows at Ah Piao and showed a faint smile.
Ah Piao turned her face sideways and observed her aunt's expression. Although she was calm on the surface, her aunt's confusion could also be seen in the subtle changes.
She looked at His Highness again, confirming her suspicion that the matter her aunt was concealing was not trivial. If she wanted her to speak, she must be given time to convince herself. If she couldn't do this on her own, , it’s useless even if others talk about it.
After thinking about this, Ah Piao was no longer in a hurry. She had plenty of time to wait anyway. She waved to Ah Rou and asked her to go to the dining room and cook some soup that would be better for her throat.
Ah Rou responded, packed up the food box she had brought before, stopped when she walked to the door, turned her head and glanced at her still silent aunt, sighed, and left silently.
After she had left for almost a cup of tea, her aunt slowly raised her head and her eyes fell on Ah Piao.
"Aunt, have you figured it out?"
"Miss Ah Piao, I know you or you..." Auntie's eyes turned from Ah Piao to His Highness, "What do you want from me, but what I want to tell you is that there are some things that I won't say, But I can’t say it, and if I say it, it will just add to the trouble for you and make you feel troubled.”
"Aunt, you don't need to worry about it. We can judge whether it bothers you or not."
"Besides this, Miss A'Piao, one thing I need to correct you is that I don't want to hide anything for them, nor do I have any illusions about them. I just simply feel that you'd better not Know."
"Because you think it will cause trouble for us, so you think it's better for us not to know, right?" Ah Piao gently raised the corners of her lips, "Aunt, you are overthinking. First of all, we are not as fragile as you, and secondly , it is one thing whether we can accept it and whether we feel troubled. It is another thing whether you say it or not, whether you have concealed or deceived us. These two properties are completely different, do you understand? "
"But……"
"Aunt, it's nothing." Ah Piao curled her lips and waved her hand towards her aunt, "I want to ask you a question. Do you know what children like us hate and hate the most when adults say them? A word?"
"I don't know." Auntie shook her head, "Which sentences are they?"
"I'm doing it for your own good. It's best for you not to know that it will cause trouble for you." Ah Piao shrugged towards her aunt, "Adults always do things to deceive us under the guise of being good for us, or they always treat us like As children, we unilaterally decide that something is something we shouldn’t know.”
"Isn't it right?" Auntie looked at Ah Piao in confusion, "In our eyes, you are just children."
"Aunt, don't you feel guilty for saying this?" His Highness sneered, "If you treat us as children, your previous behavior was to kidnap children."
"me……"
"Your Highness!" Ah Piao patted His Highness's arm to tell her not to be so aggressive. She looked at her aunt with a smile, "I didn't say what you did was wrong, but as children, we would react to such words. I feel disgusted and don’t like hearing it very much. Because once we believe such words, we will be very badly harmed by the so-called good intentions of adults. What does that sentence mean? "
She turned to look at His Highness and blinked at her. Seeing that she had no reaction, she looked at Wu Shu Dan again.
"What kind of words? We were all stunned when you said it so suddenly." Wu Shudan smiled helplessly, "What do you want to say?"
"Being sold..."
"Oh, you want to say that after being sold by an adult like my aunt, you count the money for them, right?"
"Yes, that's what I mean." Ah Piao snapped her fingers. Seeing that her aunt wanted to fight for something, she waved her hands gently, "Auntie, you don't have to think about how to refute me. This kind of thing doesn't happen very often, does it? She raised her eyebrows and said, "Auntie should know very well how many times she has harmed us just in the name of doing good for us, right? Isn't it true that she hasn't made up for her fault this time and wants to continue to do things that hurt us?" ?”
The aunt looked at her and opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
"So, aunt, tell me everything you know. Don't think about what is good for us or not for us. We don't need this. What we need is your story, without any personal emotions. As for the What kind of judgment should be made on this matter is our business and you don’t need to worry about it.”
Auntie thought for a while, sighed softly, and nodded towards Ah Piao.
"Okay, I think what you said makes sense. Since you want to know, I'll tell you." She looked at His Highness and then at Ah Piao, "Actually, what I worry about most is that family scandals should not be made public. Qingmu is a child of the Wanyan family no matter what, and if he does something like that, he will bring shame on the Wanyan family. Moreover, Qingmu knows that he has caused a big disaster, so he has been warned not to tell anyone. Just because I agreed to him, I deliberately concealed it."
"You have kept your promise and refused to say anything, but have you ever thought about whether His Highness Aoki might want to kill someone because of this?"
"You mean, I know his biggest secret, and you want to kill me to silence me?" Seeing A'Piao nod slightly, my aunt shook her head, "His secret is far less serious than sieging the city and seizing the throne, right?"
"This is not the same. Everyone knows that he besieged the city and snatched the throne. It is not a secret that will be silenced. But..." A Piao looked at her aunt, "The one you know is the real secret. Only It is only known to you, His Highness Aoki and a few people,"
Seeing her aunt nodding, A Piao sneered, "Aunt, few of the people here are outsiders, right? Or do you think you don't regard us as your own at all? If so, His Highness Aoki should be destroyed After all, you are not from the Wanyan family."
"If you say so, then I will tell you." Auntie looked at the children in front of her, "The real estrangement between them is actually the death of Wanyan and Wen."
