Xu Lanyin sorted out the relationship and finally figured it out. Xiao Xingxing was Qin's great-grandson, and her own cousin. Fortunately, if such a cute child had such an elder, she would not know how to face him.
I didn't expect that I would save someone, and that person turned out to be my relative. I was actually his aunt. As luck would have it, this was even more exciting than anything in the book.
Xu Lanyin said, "Mother, if Xiao Xingxing is really the eldest grandson of Princess Nanyang, we have done them a great favor. Perhaps they can help to deal with Chai Zhengguan and the Shen family."
Qin sighed softly and said, "I treat Xiao Xingxing well, not because I want to do anyone a favor. My uncle and the Princess of Nanyang did everything for me, but they watched me fall into the fire pit. The people in the Princess's Mansion are so high and mighty, and they never take us, the daughters of concubines, seriously. I just feel that Xiao Xingxing's life is even more miserable than mine. He has royal blood, but he has been treated so badly." She added, "It's easy for them to punish Chai Zhengguan and his wife, but that would expose my identity. Even if you return Xiao Xingxing to me in the future, don't tell anyone about my mother."
Xu Lanyin nodded, saying that she would have to think about Qin's matter in the long run. Then she wondered, "Why can't I tell that Xiao Xingxing looks like anyone in our family?"
Qin said, "I look most like my uncle, Lanting looks most like me, that is, he looks like the Qin family. Lanzhou looks most like your father, he looks like the Xu family. You look a little like me, a little like your father, and a little like the Chai family. Especially your eyebrows and eyes, you look more like the Chai family."
Xu Lanyin said, "With so many families, no one family looks very similar. Even if you meet certain people, it's not easy for others to notice the clues."
Qin said, "It's better to be careful. We can't make even the slightest mistake."
The two talked for a while, and then the voices of Mother Liu and several children came from outside. Min Jia and the others were going back to Min Mansion.
When Xu Lanyin went out, Min Jia looked at her with resentment, thinking that Aunt Xu had neglected her too much today and she was unhappy.
Xu Lanyin was already exhausted and didn't have much energy to comfort her. But seeing her little appearance, she picked her up and kissed her, smiling, "Grandma Xu is sick, and Aunt Xu is taking care of her. Aunt Xu will invite Jiaer to come to my house tomorrow to play." She wanted to spend more time with Qin Shi, who was in a bad mood, and didn't want to go to the Min Mansion.
Min Jia was very happy after being kissed. He kissed Xu Lanyin back and nodded in agreement quickly.
Zhao Xingchen was so greedy that he hugged Xu Lanyin and shouted, "Auntie, I want a kiss too, I want a kiss too."
Xu Lanting also wanted it, but was too embarrassed to say it out loud. He pursed his lips and looked at Xu Lanyin.
Xu Lanyin put the little girl down and gave each of the two little boys a kiss.
After sending the little girl away, Xu Lanyin picked up Zhao Xingchen and took a closer look. She hadn't noticed it before, but after looking at it again, she realized they did look a little bit like each other.
I never imagined I was actually related to this little boy. Even though we were distantly related, he was her cousin. I never imagined I'd become a royal relative, a distant relative of the book's protagonist, Prince Ping.
As the old saying goes, even the emperor has three poor relatives. Truth!
Zhao Xingchen was very happy to see Xu Lanyin staring at him blankly, and deliberately said, "Aunt, don't you recognize me? I am your nephew, Xiao Xingxing."
Aunt and nephew, you are absolutely right.
Xu Lanyin was amused and kissed him three more times, once on his left cheek, once on his right cheek, and once on the tip of his nose.
Zhao Xingchen was so beautiful that her little butt was sticking up.
Xu Lanyin personally cooked a few light dishes that Qin liked, but Qin was still asleep. Perhaps after she had finally gotten the secret she had been holding in her heart for so many years, she felt relieved and fell into a deep sleep.
Xu Lanyin took the two children to eat first and asked Xu Lanzhou to sleep in the west room tonight.
Qin slept until the end of the night before waking up.
Xu Lanyin asked the chess master to heat up the food, persuaded Qin to eat some, and then they relaxed for a while before they went to rest.
That night, Xu Lanyin couldn't fall asleep again.
They killed Qin Huiniang and forced Qin to run away... If Qin hadn't run away, she would have been killed too. Chai Zhengguan and Shen, that old couple, and their descendants continued to live happily with Qin Huiniang's dowry. It's really unfair!
Even if Chai Zhengguan is this body's biological grandfather, he should be punished. And how can Xiao Xingxing be allowed to return to his family and catch the person who harmed him?
The Chai family's grievances and entanglements were as cruel as those of the Wen family. Because of the involvement of the Beiyang Princess's Mansion, it seemed even more complicated.
It’s good that Zhao Wuzai is here. I can tell him things that I can’t tell others.
Zhao Wu said he would be back in two months at the earliest. Now it's mid-October. Will he be able to come back by the end of the month?
The next day, Qin didn't get up and felt a little unwell again.
Xu Lanyin personally went to the kitchen to make ginseng soup for her, served it to her, and then asked someone to go to Huichuntang to call a doctor.
For the next few days, Qin stayed at home to recuperate, and she didn't dare go out without permission. Xu Lanyin took the children to play at Min's house or Xu's house, and occasionally invited Li to her home for dinner.
Shopkeeper Wu came to her house to report and discuss the teahouse renovations. She also assigned him some tasks, such as temporarily taking on the role of accountant at Xu's Pastry Shop after the First Department Store opened, and asking him to help find a waiter for a pastry shop...
She also bought two servants: Aunt Yang and her fifteen-year-old son, Yang Zhong. They were tenant farmers in the suburbs. Their husband fell ill, and despite borrowing money, they were unable to cure him. After his death, they sold themselves to pay off their debts, and were eventually bought back by Xu Lanyin.
Qin has Aunt Yang to serve her, and Zhangqi can follow Xu Lanyin every day.
Xu Lanyin got some more information from Liu Mama and Hao Guanjia, and after listening to their inner thoughts, she got a good grasp of the situation. Especially Hao Guanjia, he gave her a lot of useful information.
The Princesses Nanyang and Beiyang were both the Emperor's elder sisters. They were much older than the Emperor, and the three of them had different mothers. The Emperor was forty-four, the Princesses Nanyang were fifty-six, and the Princesses Beiyang were fifty-seven.
Both old ladies lived long lives and are still alive. They are also smart and strong-willed, have good relationships with the emperor and the empress dowager, and have high status in the royal family.
Princess Beiyang has three sons. The second, Wang Yi, currently serves as the commander of the Western Camp. He is a skilled martial artist with a fiery temper, and the emperor both loves and hates him. He married three wives, all of whom died of illness. The third wife died earlier this year, and only the first wife left him with a son.
Mother Liu also gossiped that it was said that the three ladies died of anger.
Princess Nanyang had only one son, Chai Rong, who served as deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. Chai Rong also had a son and a daughter. His son, Chai Jun, was twenty-two years old and a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue. His daughter, Chai Jingjing, was fifteen years old and one of the four beauties of the capital.
