Beauty and the Bodyguard

"You can't say that! Uncle Er Wang has always done things in a measured way. As the younger brother of Zhongda, I don't think there will be any problem!"

A handsome young man standing at the front of the crowd smiled and spoke, seemingly speaking for Lin Yi, but in fact he had no good intentions:

"Grandpa Wang, although my grandson is willing to believe in the identity of Prince Zhongda, brothers and sisters will inevitably have doubts in their hearts. In order to stop everyone from talking, we really should investigate."

"Of course, real gold is not afraid of fire. Now that Uncle Er Wang has confirmed, Brother Zhongda can definitely withstand the investigation. This is just a formality to make everyone feel more at ease!"

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. This guy had a hypocritical and disgusting look on his face. He really deserved a beating!

"Zhongda, this is Sima Zhongxiao, the eldest brother of your uncle's family, and the eldest brother among your direct siblings."

Sima Zhengxin ignored those words and calmly introduced this hypocritical young man to Lin Yi.

As for the first two that jumped out, he ignored them.

He didn't even bother to introduce Lin Yi to someone who was not his direct descendant.

What's more, these two lackadaisical guys actually wantonly slandered the good grandson they finally found!

It would be fine if we didn’t kill them!

"Brother Prince Zhongxiao!"

Lin Yi casually cupped his hands as a greeting.

In fact, how could such a hypocritical little guy be worthy of Lin Yi taking the initiative to greet him?

If it weren't for Sima Zhengxin's introduction, who would have time to take care of him?

"Don't dare take it! Zhongda wouldn't object to this scene of proving his innocence, right? We will all be blood relatives from now on, and it is always inappropriate to have a grudge, don't you think?"

Sima Zhongxiao seemed humble and polite, but he pressed hard with his words, trying to make Lin Yi unable to refute, and even offered to accept an identity investigation.

In fact, there is nothing to say about the so-called identity investigation. As long as Sima Yunqi and Su Lingxin identify Lin Yi as Sima Zhongda, who can refute it?

This is just an excuse to attack Lin Yi and then implicate Sima Yunqi!

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's necessary. Since the Second Prince and his wife have brought the young prince back, they have naturally confirmed his identity. Who else in the world is more familiar with their child than the Second Prince and his wife?"

A thin young man in the corner suddenly stood up, bowed and saluted, and then started talking without any stage fright:

"The so-called identity investigation, let alone where to check it. After so many years, it doesn't seem too difficult to fabricate some perjury to prove that the young prince is not the young prince."

"Liu Ziyu! What do you mean? Are you saying that we will fabricate perjury to frame this person?"

"Liu Ziyu, who do you think you are? It is already a great grace for the king to allow you to attend. You are ungrateful and are still making nonsense here. Do you have the right to speak here?"

The two people who first said they wanted to investigate Lin Yi jumped right to the point, pointed at the thin man Liu Ziyu and cursed loudly.

"Shut up! Are you allowed to roar in front of Father?"

Sima Yunqi has been unhappy for a long time, but he just can't argue with a group of juniors.

Now that someone is standing up for his son, of course he will support him.

The two clamoring boys suddenly fell silent like ducks whose necks were strangled.

They still have the courage to stumbling upon Sima Yun behind his back, but they don't dare to use force from the front!

"Zhongda, this is your cousin Liu Ziyu, your aunt's son. However, something happened to your aunt's husband's family, so Ziyu has been living in our house."

Sima Yunqi gave Liu Ziyu an approving look, and then solemnly introduced Lin Yi.

Liu Ziyu's mother is the biological sister of Sima Yunqi, so it's okay to keep the relationship as small as possible.

Unexpectedly, after getting married, her husband's family was wiped out, leaving Liu Ziyu alone.

Therefore, Sima Yunqi has always raised Liu Ziyu as his son.

Because of this, Liu Ziyu is very unpopular among the younger generation of the Sima family.

After all, the younger generation is headed by Sima Zhongxiao. They form a circle of their own. Liu Ziyu follows Sima Yun and it is difficult to integrate into it.

Liu Ziyu's mother is the same mother as Sima Yunqi, but not Sima Yunfei, so he and Sima Zhongxiao are not close relatives.

Sima Yunfei's mother was Sima Zhengxin's first wife, but she died in childbirth when giving birth to Sima Yunfei.

Then Sima Zhengxin married Sima Yunqi's mother, and they had children such as Sima Yunqi and Liu Ziyu's mother.

Therefore, Sima Zheng had the intention of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones, but he never made up his mind.

He felt that he owed Sima Yunfei's mother, which was one of the reasons!

These are all digressions. Lin Yi doesn't understand so many twists and turns for the time being, but he can really feel Liu Ziyu's kindness, so he hands it over with a smile.

"Cousin Ziyu, we need to get closer and closer in the future. I haven't had any brothers or sisters since I was a child, so I am so happy to have a younger brother!"

Lin Yi's attitude towards Liu Ziyu is completely different from his previous attitude towards Sima Zhongxiao. The difference is obvious to everyone.

So there was a faint flash of anger in Sima Zhongxiao's eyes, but he quickly hid it and continued to maintain his fake warm smile.

"Ziyu, in the Qiushi Palace, only family ties matter, regardless of status. I am your uncle, and Zhongda is your cousin. What a prince and little prince, they are so different! We are all relatives, do you understand?"

Sima Yunqi smiled and lectured Liu Ziyu, and Liu Ziyu bowed in response.

"Uncle taught you a lesson! It's not Ziyu's fault. Cousin Zhongda, please take more care of me in the future!"

Liu Ziyu smiled and saluted Lin Yi.

He knew that Sima Yunqi really took care of him. Although he felt a little inferior, he easily adjusted his mentality.

Originally thinking that Lin Yi, the young prince, would return for the first time, the sensitive Liu Ziyu was afraid that Lin Yi would be jealous of her.

After all, Sima Yunqi, the uncle, basically raised Liu Ziyu as his son.

That's why he deliberately looked a bit harsh. Unexpectedly, Lin Yi's attitude was very gentle.

And his uncle Sima Yunqi did not alienate his son just because he came back.

A warm current surged in Liu Ziyu's heart, and she secretly vowed to do her best to protect her uncle's family!

"Speak of care, we are brothers! We must support each other!"

Lin Yi stood up and returned the gift solemnly. Sima Zhengxin stroked the beard on his chin, feeling greatly relieved that this grandson was quite good!

"Zhongda, you are right. As long as you brothers and sisters support each other, why worry about our Sima family not being prosperous? Zhongxiao, you are also an outstanding child of our Sima family. You must remember that as long as our Sima family ourselves If there is no chaos, Hongshang County will not fall into the hands of other families!"

Sima Zhengxin took the opportunity to give Sima Zhongxiao a few words.
