Chapter 338: Past Events at Zhenguogong Mansion
Chapter 339
Wang Jingyao said with a guilty look on her face: "Child, it's our fault! We didn't recognize you at the beginning. But now we know, we can't let you wander around outside anymore."
Xue Qing shook her head and said, "Madam Wang, some things have happened and cannot be changed. I have my own life now and don't want to be disturbed."
The original owner is gone. Why should the Xue family recognize her back just because of all the suffering she endured?
Wang Jingyao looked at Xue Qing helplessly, feeling disappointed. But she knew that she couldn't force Xue Qing, so she could only let her accept herself slowly.
Wang Jingyao returned to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion in a depressed mood.
Now the Lotus Cottage has lost its former popularity, and only Nanny Yu and Xiaoqing live here.
After all, these two people were bought by Xia Xuelian herself. Although their owner was no longer around, the Duke's Mansion did not take any action against them.
Xue He sent an invitation to Xue Qing to meet at Youranju. On this day, Xue Qing was still dressed in men's clothes, looking handsome and cool. Wu Yu accompanied her to Youranju.
When Xue He and Xue Zhong saw Xue Qing, they could no longer suppress their emotions and were extremely excited.
Xue He said in a trembling voice: "This is my biological daughter." Xue Zhong was also so excited that his eyes were a little red, and he nodded continuously.
However, Xue Qing was very calm.
She looked at the two people in front of her, without much emotion in her eyes.
Xue He and Xue Zhong looked at each other, their hearts filled with guilt.
They knew that they owed Xue Qing too much.
Xue He took a deep breath and said, "Qing'er, you have suffered so much over the years, can you not blame us?"
Xue Zhong also hurriedly said: "Qing'er, do you remember the first time we met?"
After all, Xue Qing and Xue Zhong knew each other before, and the two of them had made things clear, but Xue Qing believed that they were the ones who assassinated him, so he always had a grudge.
But now it seems that they were not the ones who assassinated him, but Xue Qing could not forgive them on behalf of the original owner.
Thinking of this, Xue Qing's expression eased and he said, "Grandpa, I did mistakenly think that you were here to assassinate me, and I felt resentful in my heart. After all, killing your own granddaughter for others really makes it impossible for me not to hate you."
Xue Zhong said anxiously: "So, now you know that we are not going to assassinate you, right?"
Xue He then asked: "Child, when can you recognize your ancestors and return to your roots?"
When Xue Qing heard their words, his heart moved slightly, but he quickly calmed down.
She said calmly, "I'm sorry, Lord! I haven't thought about it yet!"
Upon hearing this, Xue He and Xue Zhong's faces turned pale instantly.
Xue He said anxiously: "The Xue family is ashamed of you! Child, no matter when you come home, we will always wait for you"
Xue Qing looked at the two people's anxious eyes and said, "Grandpa, I have a question. If you can tell me the truth, I will consider going back."
Xue Zhong immediately replied: "You say"
Xue Qing looked at Xue He again and asked, "With the status of the Zhenguo Mansion, why would a newborn baby be lost?"
Xue Zhong was stunned when he heard this.
Afterwards, he looked embarrassed, as if he had something to hide.
Seeing this, Wu Yu said, "I'll go see why the tea hasn't been served yet," and then walked out the door.
At this time, there were only three generations of grandparents and grandchildren left in the house.
Xue He looked at Xue Zhong, thought for a moment, sighed, and said: "Qing'er, before you were born, a strange phenomenon fell from the sky..."
Half an hour later, Xue Qing remained silent after hearing Xue Zhong's words.
Xue He knew there was a hidden story, but he didn't expect that his daughter was related to the fate of the Xue family and even closely related to the fate of the Great Zhou.
Xue Qing suddenly felt relieved. Perhaps it was Xiao Qing'er: "Since you can find Xia Xuelian so easily, why didn't you go to see me when I was little, or did you just watch the Xia family bully and abuse me?"
Xue He raised his head and looked at Xue Zhong with red and swollen eyes.
Yes, if I knew that the child was in the Xia family in Anyang, I would definitely protect him secretly and would not let the child suffer so much.
A complicated expression flashed across Xue Zhong's face. "After sending you away, Gao Yi had been observing you in secret. Seeing that the Xia couple treated you like their own child, he withdrew to protect you. I had already left the capital, so Gao Yi followed me on my travels."
After taking a breath, he continued, "I just hope that you can grow up like an ordinary woman, and not know that one day the higher-ups will suddenly ask you to come back. Later, Xia Xuelian was brought back. I wanted to make the best of a bad situation and let her take your place, even if she is punished one day..."
I won’t feel bad!
Xue Qing looked at Xue Zhong with an incredible look. Her mind did not allow her to agree with his ideas.
"The person who assassinated me is not you, it's..." Xue Qing pointed upwards with his index finger.
Xue Zhong nodded slightly.
Then he said: "Qian Kun is the eldest prince Zhou Qian"
Xue Qing smiled bitterly: "Is there anything else I don't know?"
Xue Zhongyao shook his head.
"Will Zhou Qian inherit it?" Xue Qing asked back
Xue Zhong and Xue He were shocked: "Qing'er, this is not something you and I can interfere with."
Xue Qing lowered his eyes and asked after a moment, "Will he continue to assassinate me?"
Xue He looked at Xue Zhong, and Xue Zhong said, "Qing'er, just wait for your marriage peacefully, and don't worry about anything else."
"Waiting to get married? I won't marry Zhou Qian, nor will I go back to the Xue family." After saying that, she opened the door and walked out.
This conversation was still not very pleasant. The father and son watched Xue Qing leave, and soon after they also left Youran Ju.
After Xue Qing got on the carriage, he remained silent. Jiang Yi wanted to say something but opened his mouth but said nothing.
"Sister Jiang, please help me make an appointment with Mr. Qian. We will meet at the house behind Youranju the day after tomorrow."
After getting off the carriage, Xueqing said something expressionlessly and went straight back to the yard.
Xue Qing returned to his room and locked himself in.
I turned around and entered the space, looking at the original owner, who was still a little girl. I wonder if she will wake up.
Whether it's for her or for my own future, I can't say I'm tired!
Qian Kun is the eldest prince Zhou Qian. Come to think of it, could it be that the eldest prince had already set his sights on me when I was in Anyang?
I really hope this is all a dream!
Moreover, it was he who had been forcing the exposure of Xia Xuelian being a fake legitimate daughter.
Is it because he just likes me? No, I had never met him at that time.
next day
"Mr. Qian, would you please come in?" Xue Qing looked at Zhou Qian.
"Thanks to Mr. Wu, everything is fine!" Zhou Qian still made a simple disguise and met Xue Qing as Qian Kun.
"Mr. Qian, can't you just tell me your real identity?" Xue Qing didn't want to beat around the bush with him anymore.
When Zhou Qian heard her say this, he turned and went behind the screen.
