Su Man went straight to the point, "Your appearance is definitely not something that can be raised in an ordinary family. I asked someone to make some inquiries, and you are most likely the son of the former Princess Chai, Hong."
“…”
After Su Man finished speaking, she stared at Azhi intently. In fact, she was not completely sure. She was so sure just to trick Azhi.
Ah Zhi was stunned for a moment when he heard her words, then he waved his hands repeatedly, "Impossible, how could I be the child of the Chai King?"
Seeing that he really seemed unaware, Su Man relaxed a little, leaning back in her chair and saying, "Your Grandma Lu used to be a midwife. She happened to be the one who delivered Mrs. Hong. Even more coincidental, before she delivered Mrs. Hong, her son, Lu Da, owed a large gambling debt, and after she delivered the baby, the debt was paid off."
According to Su Man's analysis, Granny Lu most likely took a risk for her son and killed Mrs. Hong. Perhaps out of a change of heart, or perhaps out of fear of the consequences, she secretly rescued Azhi and raised him.
Although it was just a hypothesis, Azhi's next words obviously proved Su Man's guess.
Azhi said that Lu Da was indeed a gambler. Every time he came home, he would spend all the money in the house. Grandma Lu's life became poorer and poorer. In the end, she even sold her house and moved to the suburbs of Beijing.
Ah Zhi recalled, "Every time Lu Da came, my grandmother would send me off to play somewhere else. But when I returned, the house was always in a mess. Twice, my grandmother was injured. Then, when I was nine, Lu Da got drunk in the middle of the night, fell into a river, and drowned. Grandma Lu was so heartbroken that she kept muttering about evil deeds being punished. Not long after, she fell ill and passed away."
Although Azhi didn't say what happened next, one can imagine how difficult it was for a nine-year-old child to survive independently. Over the years, he had witnessed countless human instability and the vicissitudes of life.
Su Man, who had the same experience, felt a little moved. She wanted to help Azhi, and at the same time help herself.
Firstly, her target Yin Hong and Yun Xuelan were both in Prince Chai's Mansion. If she wanted to go in, she needed a legitimate identity.
Secondly, the eldest lady now hates her to the core because of Yun Xuelan's matter. Once Yun Xuelan gets married, she will have time to deal with her. Even if she is not afraid of open or covert attacks, the eldest lady is the mistress of the family after all. If they really fall out, there will be no benefit.
Originally, she planned to marry Yin Hong with all her heart, but now that she had Azhi, she no longer had to do that.
