Qin Fu was immediately shaken by the words, but Qin Wangshi was still preoccupied with the fact that Qin Fu had a mistress.
Her hands and feet were tied, but she still rammed her head into Qin Fu. "You old bastard, I've followed you everywhere, and you dared to keep a mistress behind my back? Don't you just despise me for not being able to have children?"
"Tell me, who is that vixen of yours?"
Hearing this, Qin Yanning became even more certain that the original owner was not the child of the Qin couple.
Ever since Meng Changyun told her that Qin Fu had a mistress outside, she had been suspicious about this matter.
Qin Fu got married outside, which meant that the Qin Wang family was unable to have children.
If the original owner was Qin Wang's biological child, she had not given birth to any children in all these years. Whether out of family affection or to prove herself, she should go looking for the original owner.
But this incident never happened in the original owner's memory.
In addition, the original owner and the couple looked nothing alike, which led Qin Yanning to make this guess.
But the two people in front of him are not the original owner’s parents, so who are the original owner’s biological parents?
Qin Yanning picked up the teacup and poured the tea on Qin Wangshi's face. Only then did Qin Wangshi wake up and realize that her life was still in the hands of others.
"Tell me what you know about my life."
Qin Fu rolled his eyes and said, "You can ask us to tell you, but you have to promise to spare my life."
People say that husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes. Now he no longer cares about the life or death of King Qin.
Qin Wangshi also reacted and interrupted, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, if you spare my life, I will never tell anyone about what happened tonight."
Save a life? Qin Yanning just thought it was ridiculous.
Regardless of the original owner's background, she was naturally abducted by the two people in front of him using underhanded means. Do these child traffickers still want to keep her life?
Then is there still justice in this world?
Qin Yanning was unwilling to make this promise, so she turned and looked at Meng Changyun.
It was a rare sight for Meng Changyun to see a pleading look in the eyes of this sharp-tongued little woman. He said, "Whoever tells the story in detail and satisfies the young lady will have his life spared."
Qin Fu and Qin Wangshi both thought that Meng Changyun was the one in charge, and they pieced together what happened that year.
Back then, the couple made a living in Huihe, and later they accidentally joined a horse caravan.
It would be more accurate to call them sand bandits rather than horse caravans, but they rarely rob travelers and instead make a living by kidnapping and selling children.
Most of the children they abducted were sold to the Central Plains.
The Qin couple worked in the horse caravan for several years and were dazzled by the huge profits.
Fifteen years ago during Eid al-Adha, eight children were abducted.
The other seven were sold by them, leaving only the original owner with the most beautiful appearance.
The original owner was only three years old at that time.
The Qin couple knew that they had betrayed the caravan and would be executed if they stayed in Huihe, so they took the original owner to Chuzhou.
Finally, when the original owner was five years old, the two of them waited for a good price and sold the original owner to Mingjian Pavilion.
With that money, the two opened the Ping'an Restaurant.
Qin Wangshi deliberately added: "I remember that you wore white jade rings on both wrists and a multi-treasure necklace made of gems around your neck."
"We saw that you were pretty, so we lured the maid holding you into a dark place, knocked her unconscious, and then took you away."
"I guess your biological parents are also from a wealthy family, and that the maid was also separated from her master by the crowd."
Now only one of her and Qin Fu could survive, and Qin Wangshi racked her brains to say more to satisfy Qin Yanning.
After hearing what Qin Wangshi said, Qin Yanning felt even more sad. The original owner should have had a rich and happy life.
But because of these two human traffickers, she became Jiang Lingfeng's plaything.
Life is like duckweed, lonely and helpless.
Qin Yanning looked at Qin Fu, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Qin Fu shook his head. After the child was abducted back then, it was Qin Wangshi who took care of him. Naturally, she knew more about many small details.
Qin Yanning sighed, "I see you two are quite cooperative. Whose life do you think I should spare?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yanning stood up, grabbed the sword in Meng Changyun's hand, and cut Qin Fu's neck.
Blood splattered everywhere, but Qin Yanning showed no fear at all.
What's the difference between killing a beast in human skin and killing a chicken?
Qin Wangshi was shocked by the warm blood splashing on her face. For a moment, she didn't know whether to cry for her husband's death or be glad that she had saved her life.
Qin Yanning took Meng Changyun's sword in his own hand with all his strength. Qin Wangshi collapsed on the ground, with the tip of the sword hanging in front of her eyes. Drops of blood fell on the ground, forming a small circle.
Qin Yanning no longer hesitated and raised his sword to pierce Qin Wang's chest.
Qin Wang stared at Meng Changyun with wide eyes, and asked weakly, "You... clearly said... to keep me..."
Meng Changyun took the sword from Qin Yanning's hand, wiped the blood off the sword, and threw the handkerchief in front of Qin Wangshi.
He whistled, his voice cold and carrying the chill of autumn. "I forgot to tell you, this girl's master, I can't do it."
This was the first time Qin Yanning realized that Meng Changyun, who looked like a middle school boy in front of Ji Xuan and her, had revealed his sharp claws.
Meng Changyun looked at Qin Yanning and put his hand in front of her eyes, "Don't be afraid."
Qin Yanning grabbed Meng Changyun's hand and pulled it down, "I'm not afraid."
As daybreak approached, Qin Yanning stood in the dimly lit Ping'an Restaurant with an indifferent look in his eyes.
Somehow, Meng Changyun really wanted to hug her, hug this girl who had been immersed in misery for the first half of her life.
She wasn't even eighteen yet, but she had experienced most of the evil in the world.
As if by some strange coincidence, Meng Changyun asked, "Do you want to go to Huihe? Go find your parents."
Qin Yanning's eyes lit up, this was exactly what she meant.
The original owner is indeed pitiful, and his parents are also pitiful. What will happen to the lives of a pair of parents who have lost their beloved child?
Qin Yanning couldn't imagine it. If possible, she really wanted to find the original owner's parents, even if it was just to let them know that they were safe.
It also fulfilled the original owner's obsession in his previous life, the regret of never being loved and cherished by his parents.
I didn't expect Meng Changyun to take the initiative to bring up this matter.
Seeing Qin Yanning's interest, Meng Changyun added, "I'm not doing this for you. I also want to visit the Huihe people."
Qin Yanning smiled and nodded.
Meng Changyun picked up Qin Yanning and rushed out of the city. "Now that we've made the decision, let's set off now. Someone will take care of these two people's affairs for us."
Qin Yanning leaned in Meng Changyun's arms and wondered if the sun in Huihe would be warmer than that in Nanjing?
Behind him, the Ping'an Restaurant was lit up with flames that shot up into the sky.
