Quan Yuxun nodded and said, "There were actually several groups of people staring at you and the little princess at that time."
"I helped you fend off those people, but I found that the little princess was very resistant to your advances. You kept coaxing her, but she kept dodging."
Quan Yuxun said, "I felt awkward watching her, and suddenly I wondered if she was my cousin."
"After all, the little princess was taken away at birth. An adult's appearance wouldn't change much in three years, but a baby's appearance is different. It's a drastic change..."
"Later, I told my grandfather this conjecture."
Of course, the most crucial factor is that Quan Yuxun has been taught by his grandfather since childhood that believing even a fraction of what the emperor says is already beyond the pale...
So he was always wary of the emperor.
Mr. Quan said to Quan Jiuyi, "I know that although Ah Xun is young, he is smarter than adults."
"Since he feels there is a problem, then there must be a problem."
"So we followed Ah Xun's suggestion and found an opportunity to get the little princess's hair and blood, and did a thorough genetic test on you two first."
"From that moment on, we knew that the little princess named Tan Tai Jing was not your child."
Quan Jiuyi couldn't stop shaking all over.
Her teeth were chattering, making a clicking sound.
Old Master Quan patted her back soothingly.
It took Quan Jiuyi a long time to control himself, and he cried out in a sobbing voice: "...You all knew it sixteen years ago..."
"Why didn't you tell me?! Why didn't you tell me?!"
"Is it fun to treat me like a fool?!"
"Father, I am your daughter!"
"Brother, I am your biological sister!"
"Why are you doing this to me?!"
She looked at Quan Yuxun again.
She was not married and had a child but she was not around, so she treated her eldest brother's only son with respect and training, and spoiled him like her own son.
But this child discovered such a horrifying fact sixteen years ago, but he kept it secret and never let it slip once!
She said in grief and anger, "Ah Xun, I know I have done nothing wrong to you. Why... why... why did you do this to me?!"
Quan Yuxun restrained his smile and said seriously, "Aunt, I was wrong in this matter."
“But if I had to do it again, I would still do it.”
Quan Juntai glared at him and said sternly: "Axun, how can you talk to your aunt like that?!"
Then he said to Quan Jiuyi, "Jiuyi, Ah Xun cannot be blamed for this matter."
"He was only thirteen at the time. These were decisions made by my father and me, and he just carried out our decisions."
"We didn't tell you because you are straightforward and can't keep secrets. If you knew the truth and made a scene, it would be bad for you and the Quan family."
"Also, we were wondering why the emperor insisted that the child was born to you and him."
"He himself doesn't know, or is this the emperor's conspiracy against our Quan family..."
"Also, where is the child you gave birth to?"
"So after much deliberation, we decided not to tell you. This way, you won't be exposed in front of the emperor."
"Anyway, there's the eldest prince born to the queen before her, so it's highly likely she won't be able to take the throne."
"Then I'll tell you the truth when she gets married."
"After all these years, we never imagined that things would develop to the point where that child would become the first in line to the throne."
Quan Jiuyi was furious when he heard this and asked, "If she becomes the empress, will you just go along with it and treat her as our Quan family's granddaughter?!"
Mr. Quan's face darkened and he said, "Jiuyi, stop dreaming."
"Even if she is really your daughter, she can't be the queen!"
"For ten thousand years, the royal family has never allowed a child born to a woman from one of the four ducal families to sit on the throne."
"Whether it was before or after the establishment of a constitutional monarchy."
"We warned you when you started dating the Emperor, who was still a prince."
"But if you insist on going your own way, we don't want to push you too far..."
"After all, even if you end up with nothing, our family can still support a daughter who never marries."
"We just want you to live and live well..."
This is the normal expectation of normal parents for their children.
"And she is not your daughter at all, yet she bears the title of your daughter!"
"Even if her life story hadn't been revealed, even if she hadn't been killed by Xia Chujian, our Quan family would never allow her to ascend the throne!"
"Do you think the emperor doesn't know that you've got so many orphans who look similar to that child, raising them and using them as stand-ins from time to time?"
"How do you think those stand-ins disappeared one by one?!"
"I'm telling you the truth, if Tan Tai Jing really becomes the empress, the first people she'll want to deal with are you and our Quan family's lineage!"
"Even if you can die for her, we in the Quan family can't!"
"I am the patriarch of the Quan clan, and my lineage of Chengjue has over 5,000 members!"
Quan Jiuyi, however, looked completely unable to bear it any longer. He covered his ears and screamed, "How is this possible?! How is this possible?!"
"Others can't do it, but I'm different!"
"He treats me differently!"
"Just one step! Just one step!"
"Do you know what I paid for?!"
