Chapter 142 Shangguan Lan’s True Identity
Yun Wansheng looked at him with some emotion: "No need, I will take care of it. When the time comes, I will deny it to her, and what can she do to me?" She didn't want to implicate this man.
"Yun Wansheng, do you know why they are chasing me and want to kill me?" Shangguan Lan's eyes were full of hatred.
"Why?"
"Because I am the young master of the Yan tribe! It was because I suddenly lost my sight when I was three years old, and my father, the tribe leader Yan Beihai...
He thought that my blind son would affect the succession of the next generation of patriarch, so he ignored my mother's pleading and took the most beautiful wizard in the tribe, Jin Pingting, as his concubine. In less than a year, the woman gave birth to another son for him.
Later, my mother and I were driven out of the main house and moved into the annex. But the despicable Yan Beihai went to the annex to take care of my mother just because his concubine was still in confinement.
The next year, my mother gave birth to a younger sister for me. But I was blind and didn't know what she looked like. I only heard the wet nurse say that the girl looked like my mother and was very beautiful.
But she forgot that I don’t even remember whether my mother is beautiful or ugly.
I thought the three of us would continue to live like this. During this period, my mother no longer believed in the gods of our tribe. Perhaps she felt that the gods did not bless her with peace and prosperity, so she switched to believing in the Qiang people's Bodhisattva.
From then on, she would take a horse carriage every year to travel far away to the Qiang temple to pray for blessings. She did this for five years. I was just ten years old at that time.
That day she said she would take her five-year-old sister to burn incense and let the master there tell her fortune.
The driver, a boy, and two maids were traveling with them. But when they were halfway there, they were suddenly run into by some bandits. In the end, all I knew was that the driver and my sister were missing, and my mother and the other servants were dead.
When the news reached the villa, I was so scared and shocked that I went to the main courtyard to find Yan Beihai, but I was sent back to the villa without even seeing him.
In this way, I spent another three years in grief, and suddenly one morning, I could see things again.
At that time, I naively thought that my father would be happy for me, so I went to the main courtyard to find him. However, before I even entered the gate, Jin Pingting blocked me at the door. She first congratulated me in a pretentious manner, and finally asked me to go back first, and then she would inform my father and let him come to see me.
That night I didn't wait for my father, but waited for the killer. Fortunately, although I was blind, my mother never gave up on me. She hired a very famous local martial artist to teach me martial arts.
That day, I escaped with my mediocre kung fu. I was seriously injured and there were assassins chasing me. When I thought my father didn't know about this, I heard Yan Beihai's voice in the dark.
He actually said that I was a bastard, not his biological son, and that anyone who saw me would be killed without mercy!
Since he didn't recognize me, I naturally wouldn't recognize him either. By then, I had become indifferent to life and death, living one day at a time. Every day I lived, I would inquire about my sister's whereabouts. In this way, I searched all over the Eastern Qiang Kingdom for nine years, but unfortunately there was no news of her. Finally, I was forced to flee to the Shun Shang Kingdom.
There was a trace of sadness on Shangguan Lan's handsome face, and it was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress it.
Yun Wansheng looked at him with some pity: "I didn't expect your life experience to be similar to mine. My parents were also killed by bandits."
"It seems we are in the same boat!" Shangguan Lan forced a smile.
"Shangguan Lan, I'm not trying to discourage you, but you've never seen your sister. Plus, your sister was only a few years old at the time. Even if she stood in front of you, you wouldn't know who she was."
"I'm not just searching randomly without any clues. My mother asked for a pair of jade amulets for my brother and me at the Guanyin Temple, and I used the jade pendants to find the person.
I also heard from my mother and nanny that my sister has a butterfly birthmark on her lower back. As long as I find these two clues, I will be able to find my sister."
As he spoke, Shangguan Lan took off the jade pendant that he had never taken off from his neck.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng frowned slightly, took the jade pendant naturally and looked at it.
The jade is transparent as a whole, with delicate and small patterns and a word "Ling" engraved in the middle.
"Is this your original name?"
"Hmm! Mine has the word 'Ling' on it, and my sister's jade pendant has the word 'Zhi' on it. Her name is Yan Lingzhi, and mine is Yan Ling."
"What a pity." Yun Wansheng returned the jade pendant to him with a regretful tone.
"What a pity?" Shangguan Lan looked at her in confusion.
"It's a pity that I don't have a jade pendant! I do have a butterfly birthmark on my lower back. If I had a jade pendant, maybe I would be your sister?
Besides, I have not only parents, but also a grandfather, so I can't be your sister." Yun Wansheng said with a smile.
Shangguan Lan laughed a few times when he heard this: "It's quite a pity."
"Shangguan Lan, I will also keep an eye on your sister's affairs. More people helping means more opportunities."
"Thanks!"
"Okay! I have to go back, you go ahead and do your work!" Yun Wansheng said, and left.
As soon as the master and servant entered the yard, they saw the mother and daughter and her men in the restaurant.
"Mrs. Jin? Why are you in my house?" Yun Wansheng said with forced composure.
"So the boss of Yunji is you?" Jin Pingting said with some surprise.
After she found out about the Yunji shop, she first beat up the shopkeeper, and then deliberately deceived him, blaming him for Yan Tang's death.
But after fighting for a long time, the shopkeeper only admitted that he had seen Yan Tang that day, but did not admit to killing anyone. He also recounted what happened that day. When he heard that the boss was a young and beautiful woman, he planned to meet her.
Because she knew very well what kind of person her son was, he was too fickle, and she couldn't miss any clues.
Unexpectedly, the person who came back was Madam Yun whom I just met. I wonder if Yan Tang’s death has anything to do with her?
"Mrs. Jin, are you trying to negotiate business with me? The young master still owes me two payments for the goods! If you want to talk to someone else, you have to pay the balance first, otherwise I won't ship any more goods to you."
Yun Wansheng's tone was filled with dissatisfaction, and he looked like a serious businessman, with no one able to detect any abnormality.
Jin Pingting stared at her with her phoenix eyes, trying to find flaws in her face and words, but after watching for a long time, all the woman showed was the annoyance of being cheated out of money.
"Madam Yun, do you know who this lady is?"
"Yan people."
Jin Pingting laughed: "Then do you know who Yan Tang is to me?"
Yun Wansheng looked her up and down, feigning ignorance. "You two aren't mother and son, are you?" Without waiting for the woman to speak, she continued, "Sorry, I was just guessing. How could you, so beautiful and young, have such a big son?"
Jin Pingting's eyebrows lifted unconsciously at her compliment: "Madam Yun is really good at talking. She is indeed a very good businesswoman. But, Yan Tang is my son."
