"The master is on his way back. Is there anything urgent for the young city lord?"
Somehow, Gongzi Yan's mind kept echoing with the words that Li Yuan had just said casually. The word "twins" almost became an indelible curse in his heart, but since he was born, he had never heard of the possibility of having other brothers and sisters.
But, if not, how to explain his series of reactions that cannot be judged by conventional standards?
He believed that Li Yuan's words were definitely not spoken casually without any basis. As a doctor, she must be responsible for what she said.
"Then send someone to pick him up. Make sure he gets back as soon as possible. I have something to ask him."
He has no father or mother and was raised by his adoptive father. At this moment, his testimony must be the most crucial.
Seeing that his master also looked distracted, Hua Protector wondered in his heart, could it be related to what Miss Li had just said?
"Why don't you go quickly?" At the urging of Master Yan, Protector Hua hurried down to make arrangements.
When the room became completely quiet, a trace of worry that even he had not noticed was revealed deep in Gongzi Yan's tired brows.
As for Li Yuan, she staggered all the way back to her room near the pharmacy, slammed the door shut, and called out her two cute pets.
"What's going on? Do you think this could be true?"
Hei Chun walked elegantly like a cat, lying lazily on the table, and said slowly: "You already have a conclusion, why do you need to ask us?"
Li Yuan showed a smile that was uglier than crying. "But, but how is this possible? Am I not Li Hongtao's daughter? How could I have other brothers and sisters? No, this is impossible. It's too unbelievable."
Seeing her like this, Hei Chun couldn't help but sneer and said, "Do you think someone like Li Hongtao is a so-called father? If he is your father, then your life is more than just unlucky. Have you ever seen a father treat his own daughter like this? You are both concubines, why is your treatment so different from other concubines? Have you never thought about this?"
Li Yuan smiled bitterly, "Do I need to say this? Even if I'm a concubine's daughter, I should look normal, right? Look at me, I'm not just ugly, I'm simply unbearable to look at, okay? To him, my daughter is just for use, but now, I have no use at all, and he can be nice to me, that's abnormal, isn't it?"
Before Hei Chun could react, Bai Zha was furious: "Who said the master is ugly? You are obviously very beautiful, okay? Could it be that these people are blind and can't see it?"
Li Yuan thought it was comforting her and had no idea what Bai Zha's words really meant.
"Whether it's your real daughter or not, you can check it out. There should be no problem, right?"
Hei Chun's words immediately made Li Yuan, who had lowered her head, raise her head. "You, what did you say?"
"Investigate. You didn't think about this before, but what about now? Now that you have doubts, have you taken action? Moreover, with your current status and position, investigating these things is a piece of cake. It would be a pity not to use such a good resource."
Li Yuan looked at Er Chong with difficulty and obscurity: "Do you think that I am not Li Hongtao's daughter?"
Bai Zha couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this. "Although I have never seen the master's mother, it is impossible for that fat pig to give birth to a daughter as beautiful as you. I also think that you need to check it out."
Li Yuan's mouth twitched, and she stretched out her hand to pinch Bai Zha's fluffy face. "I say, can you stop calling me beautiful every other day? You make me blush. How dare you call me 'beautiful' with my appearance? How can other women live like this?"
Unexpectedly, even Hei Chun beside him said seriously: "Master, forget what others say, don't you believe us? You are indeed very beautiful."
Li Yuan: ...
Well, she loves the woman so much that she loves everyone in it. What else can she say? She is beautiful, so what? After living in ancient times for seven or eight years, someone finally said that she is beautiful. Shouldn't she be happy?
Hei Chun saw that Li Yuan didn't seem to take their words to heart at all, so he didn't get angry. He thought that sooner or later, the master would know that they were not lying.
Although she didn't take the fact that Li Hongtao was her biological father to heart, Li Yuan did take it to heart.
But if Li Hongtao was not her father, then who was her father? Could it be that her mother had an extramarital affair?
As soon as this thought came to mind, it was cut off by Li Yuan. No, it's impossible.
As far as she knew, if her mother had the courage, she would not have died in the fight in the backyard. It was impossible.
It seems that there are indeed too many suspicious things about her background. It's ridiculous that she never thought about it before. If she had known this, she would have investigated it earlier. In this way, why should she sacrifice her own future?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel refreshed. Perhaps, she could investigate this matter thoroughly before getting married?
When Li Yuan was lost in her own thoughts, the two creatures, one white and one black, secretly bit each other's ears.
"That Gongzi Yan, did you see anything?"
Bai Zha slowly wagged his fluffy tail, and occasionally turned around his tail like a dog.
Hei Chun rolled his eyes at the idiot. After seeing the extremely childish action in his eyes, he said in an unfathomable way, "Nonsense, if you couldn't see it, how could you remind the master like that?"
"In that case, why don't you just tell her?"
Bai Zha blinked his bright eyes with a look of curiosity.
Hei Chun stretched out his claws and slapped Bai Zha on the forehead. "You idiot, she doesn't believe such a subtle explanation. Do you think she will believe it if we tell her the truth? Besides, have you carefully looked at the appearance of the two people? No normal person would believe that there is any connection between them, okay?"
"But they clearly..." Before Bai Zha could finish his words, Hei Chun ruthlessly interrupted him, "Shut up. How can our vision be the same as that of humans? From what humans see, the two of them are absolutely unrelated. Instead of telling them directly, it's better to let them discover it themselves."
"Besides, I have a feeling that it's no coincidence that they have such different lives. It's better for you and me to look at this matter from the perspective of an outsider."
Bai Zha understood Hei Chun’s meaning, which was to not let it interfere.
Although this is a bit unfair to her master, she is indeed too weak now. Perhaps, this is also a necessary part of her growth?
Thinking of this, it agreed with Hei Chun's words, "I know what to do."
Hei Chun nodded and licked his paw elegantly, "It seems you are not so stupid!"
Bai Zha hated the way it always lectured him in the tone of an elder, and couldn't help but complain, "You talk as if you are much older than me."
Hei Chun snorted coldly, "Boy, don't disbelieve me. I am many times older than you. If you don't believe me, you can ask your mother next time you see her."
Bai Zha rolled his eyes, "We'll talk about it later. Right now, from what I see, you and I are about the same. In terms of size, I don't know how many times bigger than you are. Don't talk to me in this tone in the future. You have a good temper, do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Hei Chun: "Hey, you are really good, you dare to challenge me, Hei Ye?"
Just as the two pets were about to fight, Li Yuan suddenly pulled them aside and said, "Okay, what are you arguing about? Let me ask you, have you ever seen this symbol?"
As he spoke, he showed the ice-blue silver needle mark on the palm of his hand, blinked his eyes, and stared at the two of them closely.
Hei Chun and Bai Zha exchanged glances quickly and thought, this is not easy, has their idiot master finally discovered this unusual symbol?
The two children turned around and looked at Li Yuan at the same time, "Yes, I have seen it. Isn't this the ice needle that disappeared from your body?"
Li Yuan's mouth twitched, "Okay, you guys, so you already knew about it? Then why didn't you remind me?"
Bai Zha swallowed his saliva. "Do I need to remind you of this? It's right in your palm. Did you just realize it?"
Li Yuan: ..., this guy did it on purpose, right? If she had discovered it earlier, why would she have asked them here?
"Master, do you have any doubts?"
Fortunately, Hei Chun was clear-headed and pushed Bai Zha aside at the right time. He looked up at Li Yuan with a serious expression.
