Qi Yuning dismissed the servants on both sides and said to Qi Yu'an in front of him, "Brother, there is actually one thing I have been lying to you about. Lingling is not actually my child."
Qi Yu'an frowned and said, "If she's not your daughter, why would you acknowledge her? Aren't you making a fool of your own reputation?"
Qi Yuning said, "If possible, I want to keep this a secret from you forever. Currently, only three people know Lingling's life story, but now Ping..."
Qi Yu'an interrupted Qi Yuning and said, "Call me sister-in-law!"
Qi Yuning said, "Since my sister-in-law is in trouble, I feel I should tell you this. Lingling is indeed my daughter and Lu Ze's, but she was not born at this time. Lingling was born in September of the Dingmao year."
"The Bingyin year is only a few days away. How could Lingling be born in September of the Dingmao year?" Qi Yuan asked in surprise.
Qi Yuning nodded and said, "Indeed, Lingling appeared out of thin air. There is a jade plaque around her neck that says she was born in the ninth month of the Dingmao year. This is indeed a fairy tale, but Lingling did come here not long after the Lantern Festival in the Xinwei year.
Lingling calls you uncle as soon as she sees you, and that's why Lingling actually came from the future. I know it's hard for you to believe, but it's true..."
Qi Yu'an suddenly remembered that strange letter. "So, the letter Lu Ze wrote for Lingling last time..."
Qi Yuning said, "Are you talking about the letter Lingling wrote about her aunt and cousin? I thought it wasn't sent to North City."
Qi Yu'an said, "I received it. No wonder Lu Ze was willing to write that letter."
Qi Yu'an suddenly understood. He was curious about why Lu Ze was playing with Lingling, and this was the reason.
"However, Lingling was wrong. She will no longer have a cousin and an aunt."
Qi Yuning looked at Qi Yu'an and said, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Qi Yu'an looked at the person in the painting and said, "Your sister-in-law was the most spoiled. The day before she passed away, she had a quarrel with me because of a princess who didn't even exist. She was very tearful. If she knew that I had a princess, she would probably become a real crybaby..."
Qi Yu'an said: "So, I won't have a princess anymore, and Lingling won't have a cousin anymore."
Qi Yuning was shocked and said, "Brother, you're going to stay single for the rest of your life just to have a concubine? And you're not going to have children?"
Qi Yu'an frowned and said, "Yuning, she is not a concubine, she is your sister-in-law!"
"Brother, there are only two of us left in the Qi family. If you don't marry or have children, won't the Qi family's incense be cut off in the future?"
Qi Yu'an said, "Lingling can have the surname Qi. Qi Yiling sounds a thousand times better than Lu Yiling! Your future children can also have the surname Qi. The Qi family's bloodline will never be broken."
Qi Yuning frowned and looked at Qi Yu'an and said, "Since you like Ah Ping so much and are willing to remain single for her, why did you keep her as a concubine for three years? You will know how to cherish her after she dies!"
In fact, Qi Yuning was more inclined to believe that Miss Aping was still alive.
Lingling knows all the relatives, including grandparents, uncles and aunts. She has never made a mistake and even knows Lin Jiang's fiancée.
What’s more, she is a very close aunt!
If a woman leaves when she is pregnant, doesn't that mean she has accumulated a lot of disappointment?
Qi Yu'an just said that Miss Aping was worrying about the princess before she died, which exactly confirmed her guess.
Qi Yu'an looked at the woman in the painting and said, "You're right, I didn't cherish her enough..."
Qi Yuning said slowly: "It's good that you know."
Qi Yuning originally wanted to tell Qi Yu'an that the aunt Lingling was talking about was Aping, but now he didn't want to tell her anymore.
If he wasn't her own brother, she would have despised Qi Yu'an to the extreme. What's the point of being so devoted to him when he wasn't cherished during his lifetime and regretting it after his death?
Qi Yuning put down the food and returned to the dining room.
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning and asked, "Brother Qi, have you agreed to perform an autopsy?"
Qi Yuning said, "Don't worry about him. We can go and do the autopsy after we finish our meal."
After finishing the meal, Lu Ze handed Lingling to Lu Yun and warned him, "Don't tease Lingling."
Lu Yun nodded repeatedly.
Lu Ze and Qi Yuning went to the lobby. The night wind blew, and the white flags fluttered. Qi Yuning asked the maids and servants of Prince Qi's Mansion to leave, leaving only her and Lu Ze here.
Lu Ze saw the charred corpse in the coffin and reached out to open its mouth.
Seeing this scene, Qi Yuning looked at Lu Ze's slender and beautiful hands, and she no longer felt any admiration for them.
"Princess, can you lend me your handkerchief?"
Qi Yuning handed the handkerchief to Lu Ze, and saw Lu Ze put her handkerchief to the throat of the charred corpse.
Lu Ze took out the handkerchief and looked at it, saying, "He wasn't burned to death."
Qi Yuning asked, "How could that be?"
Lu Ze said, "If they were burned to death, there would be black smoke residue between their mouths and noses. It wouldn't be so clean. This would only happen if they died before and were burned."
Qi Yuning saw Lu Ze take out a small knife and put it into the charred corpse's belly. He asked, "Are you going to cut it open?"
Lu Ze nodded and said, "Yeah."
As Lu Ze moved towards the corpse with the knife, he heard a roar of anger: "Lu Ze! What are you doing?"
Qi Yu'an came over, grabbed Lu Ze by the collar, and was about to strike him with a fierce fist. Lu Ze dropped his knife and blocked it with his hand, "Brother Qi Wang, let me explain..."
Qi Yu'an was extremely angry. He grabbed Lu Ze's collar and shouted angrily, "Lu Ze, don't think I dare not attack you! If you dare to touch Ah Ping today, I will send you to hell!"
