Chapter 484: 246 Brothers (First Update)_2
Minmin took a deep breath, gathered his courage, and said, “You are my brother!”
“Huh?” Little Jinkong looked taken aback, “You’re definitely not my brother!”
Minmin wore an I-knew-it expression, “See, I knew you wouldn’t believe me! But I truly am your brother! My mother is your mother! You even met her before! Don’t you like her?”
Little Jinkong had met the Prince Consort twice before, once at the Medical Hall and once at the Imperial Palace. The Prince Consort was a very affable lady, just like the Yao Family, both of which made Little Jinkong feel fond of.
But for some reason, Little Jinkong had the vague feeling that the ‘liking’ Minmin referred to was different from what he had understood.
Little Jinkong felt torn for a moment.
Minmin took another deep breath, having a hard time coming to the following decision, “I was wrong to lose my temper at you in the palace, I shouldn’t have pushed you. Please don’t avoid coming back with us because of that, Mother is really sad, she even cried!”
The thoughts of children are always simple. Minmin thought that the Prince Consort was the best mother in the world, he liked her, hence, his brother must like her too. If his brother refused to return, it must be his fault.
He would make an apology then!
Minmin grasped Little Jinkong’s hand and promised, “I won’t bully you anymore in the future, I will protect you instead! The palace is great! It has a huge courtyard, lots of delicious food, and many servants and horses! I can teach you horse riding! And also archery! Please come back with me!”
Seeing that Little Jinkong was silent, he added, “Every child has parents, and everyone should stay with their parents! Mother didn’t mean to abandon you, she thought something bad had happened to you, but now she and Father have come back to find you! If you refuse to acknowledge them, Mother will always be in pain!”
Little Jinkong thought very seriously for a moment then said to Minmin, “But I want to stay with Jiaojiao.”
Minmin looked astonished, “Jiaojiao is not your mother!”
Speaking of which, who was Jiaojiao?
Once Minmin had said everything he wanted to say, he couldn’t wait for Little Jinkong to nod, so he tugged on Little Jinkong and started to head towards the Royal Garden.
He remembered the route taken when they arrived and remembered that the carriage wouldn’t take too long.
However, he underestimated the speed of the carriage and overestimated the speed of walking, both of them were soon drenched in sweat.
Little Jinkong looked at him in silence, “Where do you want to take me?”
“Home!” Minmin replied, holding onto him with one hand while wiping the sweat from his forehead with the other hand.
He held on tightly, fearful of losing his brother.
The good luck Minmin had while coming to this path seemed to have been used up. They walked onto a less crowded, lonely street and a well-dressed, middle-aged man approached.
He had a friendly face and a warm smile, appearing to be a very kind person.
He halted in front of Minmin and Little Jinkong, smiled amiably and said, “Little brothers, where are your parents? Have you lost your way?”
Minmin looked at him warily, “It’s none of your business, back off!”
The young masters of the palace were accustomed to giving commands and naturally would not view a commoner seriously.
His orders were always carried out, but he was not aware that was all due to the palace guards who accompanied him everywhere.

Now he was alone with a four-year-old, and his intimidating authority was suddenly gone.
After all, even a very fierce cub was simply a cub. No adult sheep would fear the cub of a tiger.
The middle-aged man just smiled and instead of backing off, tried to pat Little Jinkong’s head.
“Don’t touch my brother!” Minmin promptly slapped his hand away!
Suddenly, Little Jinkong pointed to the other side of the street, “Uncle, someone’s calling you over there!”
The middle-aged man turned his head to look.
Little Jinkong seized this opportunity to grab Minmin and run away!
They didn’t stop until they were in a crowded place. Minmin was panting heavily, but Little Jinkong’s physical strength held up well, he was only slightly out of breath.
“Why… why did we run?” Minmin asked, exhausted.
“That man was a kidnapper.” Little Jinkong said, “Kidnappers abduct children.”
Minmin asked uncertainly, “How do you know?”
Little Jinkong replied, “I guessed.”
When he was in the countryside, the villagers always joked with him, warning him to be careful of being abducted. Jiaojiao also taught him not to talk to strangers.
Minmin glanced back, the man didn’t seem to be following them, but he was still a little scared, “Let’s hurry up and leave!”
So, they continued on their way.
