Chapter 365 A Bastard of Unknown Origin
Xiao Shunzi looked at him in surprise: "You are——"
Simuyun hurriedly said, "My name is Simuyun, and I am Nanyan's elder brother."
"Oh, it's Master Si." Xiao Shunzi, being close to Nan Yan, was naturally very polite to her relatives. He quickly bowed and saluted, then said, "The Lady Si is a female official appointed by the Emperor to be in charge of the Imperial Seal."
“…”
"The Emperor values her very much."
“…”
"Your Si family is so lucky."
After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Simuyun and Simulan also started laughing, but there was not much joy in their laughter.
Instead, amidst the shock in his heart, there was a hint of jealousy.
They had never imagined that Si Nanyan, who had been thrown into the palace like an abandoned pawn, actually survived. Not only did she survive, but she also seemed to be doing well.
She - why?!
A bastard whose mother's origins are unknown, what right does she have?!
At this time, Nan Yan had already returned. In fact, she didn't have much luggage, just some underwear, which were packed into a small bundle. The little girl sent her directly to the carriage outside.
As soon as he saw her, Simulan's eyes turned red again.
But Jian Tongguang seemed very aggrieved and said, "Why are you leaving so soon?"
Nan Yan knew that he was reluctant to leave her. Although she would never be able to achieve what he wanted, she still sincerely liked this amiable old man and everyone in the Jian family.
She stepped forward and saluted, saying softly, "Thank you, Mr. Jian, for taking care of me these days."
Jian Tongguang came over and said, "Girl, don't forget when you enter the palace. The Jian family is your second home, okay?"
Nan Yan nodded quickly: "Yes."
At this time, Simuyun, who was sitting beside her, rolled his eyes, stood up quickly, walked up to her, and said affectionately: "Nan Yan, don't forget that you still have a real home."
“…”
"You haven't been home for a long time. Everyone misses you."
Nan Yan turned her head and looked at him.
This elder brother who had bullied him since childhood now stood in front of him, looking like a handsome young man from a noble family.
It's hard to imagine that he used to push himself into the river and stand on the shore laughing wildly as he watched himself struggling and calling for help.
Being stared at by her dark eyes like this, for some reason, Si Muyun felt a little uneasy.
But he continued affectionately, "I didn't dare contact you before, fearing you might have a lot of influence in the palace. Now that you've become a court lady, you should have more freedom of movement and come home more often."
“…”
"Mother still talks about you often."
“…”
When Nan Yan heard what he said, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Auntie, is she talking about herself?
Yes, she often talks about herself.
How many times have I been beaten black and blue by her children? I was young and ignorant at that time, and I foolishly went to her to cry and complain, but she scolded me and punished me to kneel in front of the ancestral tablets. Sometimes I had to kneel for a whole night without even a drop of water.
At that time, she often called herself a bastard and said she deserved to die.
Even though I was young at that time, the viciousness in her eyes made me tremble.
But Nan Yan didn't say much.
Just a faint smile: "Thank you."
After saying that, he stepped aside and turned to look at Xiao Shunzi: "Eunuch Shun, we can set off now."
