After leaving Ya Garden, Qian Youxue felt even more agitated, with more and more questions in her mind. She wondered when that old Taoist priest, who hadn't appeared in her dreams for so long, would resurface.

If that old Taoist priest were here, many things would be much simpler; perhaps he would even know about his own background.

Why……

That bastard!

Cursing under her breath, she dragged her weary body back to the Snow Garden.

At this moment, Yunhe finally saw her master arrive at the door. Seeing her master from afar, she ran up to greet him: "Master, you're back. Are you tired?"

Um!

Qian Youxue responded weakly. She had used a lot of spiritual energy to give her grandmother acupuncture, and she hadn't slept well last night. At this moment, she felt dizzy and lightheaded.

Seeing his master's reaction, Yunhe initially intended not to tell him the matter for the time being, but his master spoke first.

"Tell me what you found out last night?" Qian Youxue entered the courtyard and, instead of rushing back to her own room, went straight into Yunhe's room.

After closing the door, Yunhe recounted everything that had happened the previous night.

Qian Youxue's mind was even more confused after hearing this. There really was someone who wanted the Qian family to be wiped out. But why would that person, who had been hiding for so long, suddenly appear at this time?

Is it a coincidence, or is there another reason?

She had no way of knowing this, but she was somewhat surprised that Aunt Lan was a spy for the forces behind the scenes.

"Aunt Lan, hmph!" She sneered, a chill emanating from her very bones.

Yunhe shivered and handed Qiansheng's blood to his master, wondering what decision his master would make.

Qian Youxue stored Qian Sheng's blood in her spatial storage. Although there were no powerful instruments for paternity testing here, she had read a special book at Shu Nu's place that described a method to determine paternity.

"Wait here, I'll be right back." She turned and entered the space.

There was a room in the space that she used to refine pills, and it contained many medicinal herbs and good things that the book slave had brought back.

She took out several potions, then cut her finger and dripped her blood and Qian Sheng's blood into the same specially made bowl. Then, she saw the ten crystals flash like lamps. Finally, eight of them lit up.

This proves that Qian Sheng is not his biological father, and Aunt Meng was not lying. However, judging from the data above, she is also a member of the Qian family.

Could it be that Grandmother has other children?

That's impossible!

From childhood to adulthood, she had never seen any particularly close relatives appear in the Qian family, which was strange. Moreover, the Qian family had so few bloodlines that it was even more unlikely that they would give their own children away to be raised by others.

"Master, Madam has arrived." Yunhe called out in a panic when he saw Madam Su leading Qian Bowen into the courtyard.

Upon hearing Yunhe's voice, Qian Youxue put down what she was holding, turned around, and stood in front of Yunhe.

Why is my mother coming over at this time?

She frowned in annoyance and sighed wearily.

"If Your Majesty does not wish to see them, this servant will go and inform them." Seeing how tired Her Majesty looked, Yunhe probably just wanted to rest.

After hesitating for a moment, Qian Youxue shook her head. Since she wouldn't be staying at the Qian residence for long anyway, and she was already there, she might as well go and meet them.

When Qian Bowen saw his sister come out, he happily rushed over to her: "Sister!"

At the doorway, Xuan Mingye saw Qian Bowen being held in Qian Youxue's arms. His face turned cold, and he stared intently at the boy, clenching his fist unhappily.

Su felt the coldness in the air, turned her head and saw the War King sitting at the door of the house. She swallowed hard and hurriedly pulled Bowen down from Youxue's body: "Bowen, don't be rude, quickly pay your respects to your brother-in-law, the Prince!"

Qian Youxue and Qian Bowen looked over at the same time. When they met the War King's gaze, Qian Bowen shivered. Qian Youxue pushed him behind her.

What's wrong with this lunatic now?

She took a deep breath and pulled Qian Bowen over.

Seeing Qian Youxue approach, Xuan Mingye slightly calmed down. Seeing the two of them bow to him, he said indifferently, "Get up, both of you!"

"Excuse me, Your Highness and Your Highness!" Madam Su gave a quick, polite bow.

Qian Youxue ignored the demon and looked at Qian Bowen gently, saying, "Is there something you need from your sister?"

Qian Bowen nodded, walked up to his mother, took the food box from her hand, and handed it to his sister: "This is osmanthus cake, which is your favorite. I just went to buy it for you."

"You went out?" Qian Youxue frowned.

Um!

Qian Bowen nodded and said happily, "Bowen hasn't been to the street for many years. If it weren't for my mother taking me, I wouldn't dare to go."

"Silly child, if you want to go out in the future, just ask your mother to take you." Qian Youxue knew the pain of being trapped at home. For so many years, although her younger brother was alive, it was not much different from being dead. She didn't know how many days he had spent in bed.

"Really? What about my health?" Qian Bowen was most worried about his health. If any more symptoms appeared, his mother and sister would be anxious.

Qian Youxue tenderly touched the boy's face and said with great certainty, "You'll be fine going out with your mother. However, you shouldn't let too many people know about your condition. Of course, if your grandmother asks, you must tell her the truth."

"Bowen remembers, Bowen will learn what his sister taught him well, and in the future he can be like his brother-in-law Zhan Wang, bravely fighting on the battlefield." Qian Bowen looked innocent, his clear eyes shining with hope.

Upon hearing this, Madam Su broke out in a cold sweat and nearly covered her son's mouth. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to peek into the King of War's eyes.

"Bowen really wants to go to the battlefield?" Xuan Mingye, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

This sound startled the terrified Su Shi once again.

Qian Youxue gave Xuan Mingye a warning look before patting Bowen on the shoulder, signaling him to go to Xuan Mingye's side and reply.

"Brother-in-law Zhan Wang, I believe that only men who go to the battlefield can achieve something." Qian Bowen answered Zhan Wang's words very seriously.

Xuan Mingye looked at the little guy who had been sickly just a month ago, now standing before him full of energy, all thanks to Qian Youxue's medical skills. He just hadn't expected that after lying in bed for so many years, the little guy would still have such grand aspirations.

"You're a promising child. Once you've fully recovered, go to the War King's Mansion to find your brother-in-law. He can have someone teach you martial arts techniques, how about that?" He looked at Qian Bowen with more admiration in his eyes.

"Really!" Qian Bowen's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at his sister in disbelief.

Qian Youxue didn't know what Xuan Mingye meant, but not wanting to disappoint her younger brother, she could only nod.

"Learning the techniques will be quite tough, so just don't cry when the time comes," Xuan Mingye said slowly, glancing furtively at Qian Youxue.
