Chu Xuan frowned, with an obvious look of displeasure on his face: "Who is making a noise here?"

Seeing this, the guards hurriedly pulled Qin Xuelin hard, trying to get her away before Chu Xuan got angry.

In the carriage, Lu Yanluo looked suspiciously at the struggling woman outside, and her eyes met Qin Xuelin's.

There were tears, reluctance and eagerness in those eyes, which inexplicably made Lu Yanluo a little curious about this girl.

Lu Yanluo raised her hand and held Chu Xuan's hand. Under Chu Xuan's gaze, she slowly got off the carriage and stood in front of Qin Xuelin and slowly spoke: "You said you were a member of the Qin family, which Qin family?"

Qin Xuelin seemed to see hope. She knelt on the ground with a plop. Before she said a word, she kowtowed three times to Lu Yanluo. When she raised her head again, her forehead was already bruised.

"My Lord, the Qin family I was talking about is the Qin Tea House in Beijing. Please save my family!"

Qin's Tea House? Lu Yanluo had never heard of this person. She looked at Chu Xuan, who had followed behind her out of concern, in confusion.

Chu Xuan saw Lu Yanluo's questioning look and replied, "Qin's Tea House is the royal merchant that has been supplying tea exclusively to the royal family in recent years."

"What happened to your family? Why are you blocking the road in the street? Do you know who we are?"

Qin Xuelin was in great grief, and every word she spoke was full of tears: "I know that you two are the Night King and the Princess. We had no choice but to stop you in the street today. Yesterday, someone in the palace who claimed to be the Concubine Shu suddenly came to our Qin family. For some reason, she insisted on forcing my father to adopt her as his adopted daughter and to include her in the Qin family tree."

"At first, my father was cautious and didn't want to get involved in the royal secrets, so he refused. But that person captured my sister and threatened my father with her life. My father had no choice but to agree. Unexpectedly, that person went back on his word! After my father wrote her into the family tree, she...she not only did not let my sister go, but also killed my sister with a knife...with a knife!"

"Now my sister died with her eyes open, and her body was thrown into a mass grave by the insane Concubine Shu. More than a hundred members of the Qin family were imprisoned in the Qin Mansion and were not allowed to go in or out. After I witnessed my sister being killed, I secretly escaped through a dog hole and buried my sister with my own hands. But I was unwilling to accept this, and I wanted revenge! But my enemy is now in the palace, and I really have no choice but to ask the prince and princess for help."

Qin Xuelin kowtowed again: "Everyone knows that His Royal Highness and Princess Ye love the people like their own children and hate evil like their own enemies. At this moment, only His Royal Highness and Princess Ye can rescue the Qin family and help me avenge my sister!"

Lu Yanluo was shocked. Concubine Shu? Qin? But why would Qin embarrass a small merchant and write herself into someone else's family tree?

Lu Yanluo turned her head to look at Chu Xuan beside her, and both of them had some doubts in their hearts.

"You said that the one who went to the Qin family was Consort Shu from the palace, but how did you confirm that?"

Hearing the name of her enemy, Qin Xuelin's eyes were filled with hatred. "She said that herself. She also said that as long as my father added her to the Qin family's genealogy, she would be the Qin family's support in the palace in the future, and would definitely make the Qin family a famous and prestigious family in the capital. But my father has always been cautious in doing things. He probably guessed that this matter involved a lot of people and was afraid that it would cause endless harm in the future, so he never agreed."

[This is strange. Why would Qin rush to be someone else's daughter? She can't accept it even if the other person doesn't agree. Could it be that she doesn't need parents? ]

【Missing parents! 】

Lu Yanluo suddenly realized something and turned to look at Chu Xuan, wanting to confirm her guess with him.

Chu Xuan was secretly happy in his heart that A'Luo had begun to get used to coming to him first when there was a problem.

"You're right. Qin's father was originally the governor of Hezhou, Qin Fangnian. He worked diligently for half his life. But in the fifth year of Qingfeng, Chen Chong, the governor of Hezhou, was beheaded for taking bribes, which implicated Qin Fangnian, the governor of Hezhou at the time. The emperor was furious, and millions of people were killed. The male members of the Qin family were exiled three thousand miles away, and all the female members of the family were sent to the palace as maids. Although Qin has the opportunity to be named Shufei, it's just an empty title without her family to support her."

Lu Yanluo nodded when she heard this and connected the whole thing together. Qin's family was of low status and not worthy of being mentioned in public, and she had just been made a concubine and was in urgent need of a strong family to support her, so she turned to the Qin family.

Although the Qin family is not a family of officials, they are rich, and merchants always value profit. In the eyes of Concubine Shu, such a family is easier to control.

But he didn't want to. The head of the Qin family was a smart man and didn't want to take the risk.

After figuring everything out, Lu Yanluo looked at the thin, helpless little girl in front of her with tears in her eyes with some reluctance. This was undoubtedly an unexpected disaster for her.

"Xiao Ran." Lu Yanluo said, "You hire a carriage nearby and take Miss Qin back to the palace. Wash her up and get her some food. It's freezing cold, so wait until everything is settled."

Qin Xuelin kowtowed to Lu Yanluo again with gratitude: "Thank you, Princess! I will never forget your kindness."

After temporarily resolving Qin Xuelin's issue, Liu Lu Yanluo and Chu Xuan boarded the carriage back home again.

The two were silent for a moment, and Lu Yanluo spoke first: "Do you think what Qin Xuelin said is true?"

Chu Xuan lowered his head and held Lu Yanluo's hand: "I think it's probably true." He had been in the harem of the previous dynasty for many years, so he still had some ability to judge people.

The hatred in Qin Xuelin's eyes did not seem fake, and Qin, that white lotus, would do anything to get what she wanted, so this was most likely true.

Lu Yanluo sighed, feeling emotional, this is a cannibalistic world where power is stronger than people.

When the two returned to the mansion, Xiao Ran also brought Qin Xuelin back.

After Qin Xuelin washed and dressed, she went to Yun Yayuan to formally visit Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo.

In the main hall of Yun Yayuan, Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo were eating with their two children.

"Beautiful sister! Mother, a beautiful sister has come to our house!" Before Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo noticed Qin Xuelin, Chu Yuan threw down the spoon and rushed over, hugging Qin Xuelin tightly.

Seeing this, Lu Yanluo smiled gently at Qin Xuelin and said, "Children are ignorant, please bear with me, Second Miss."

Qin Xuelin quickly shook her head: "No, the little princess is very cute, and I have always liked children." Then she lowered her head and touched Chu Yuan's little face.

Chu Yuan laughed happily, which was enough to show that she really liked Qin Xuelin very much.

Looking at the two people, one tall and one short, standing at the door, Lu Yanluo suddenly felt sad. Qin Xuelin was not very old, but she suffered a sudden misfortune. The Qin family was a good family, but it was ruined by Concubine Shu for her own selfish interests. And there was also the eldest lady of the Qin family who died with her eyes open, a living life.
