Qing Zhan hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and kept looking at the little sister in front of him.
My younger sister is now the Princess of You. Her words and actions are very different from her previous arrogant and unruly character. She is now too embarrassed to mention her embarrassing stories.
"What happened when you were eighteen? Second brother, what do you want to say?"
Qing Yunyao felt a little annoyed, and seeing Qing Zhan hesitating, she lost the mood to deal with it.
Qing Zhan was keenly aware of his little sister's mood, paused, and thought that she was in a bad mood because something had been stolen.
"My second brother suspected that the female thief was someone who knew you. She..."
"What? Why did Second Brother say that?"
Qing Yunyao shuddered and raised her eyes quickly, staring at Qing Zhan's face with sharp eyes.
"Didn't my second brother do something outrageous when he was eighteen? You were there, and we agreed not to tell anyone about it, but that female thief actually found out. So, I want to ask you, have you told anyone about it?"
Qing Zhan naturally had no defenses against the little sister in front of him, so he said whatever he wanted to say.
Qing Yunyao was worried. Seeing that there was no trace of temptation on Qing Zhan's face, she knew that he probably had not had any deeper conversation with the female thief.
But how could she possibly know the secret between Qing Zhan and Qing Yue when he was eighteen?
Many things are avoided by her.
"Brother, what are you talking about? You know I've forgotten a lot of things... so..."
"That's right...it's my second brother who failed to protect you."
Speaking of this matter, Qing Zhan felt the pain in his heart. He reached out and touched the head of the little sister in front of him with heartache.
This topic was skipped and Qing Zhan did not ask any more questions. His younger sister did not remember anything, so this clue was also broken. However, the identity of this female thief made him even more suspicious. Could it be that this female thief was from Baihua Tower?
Qing Yunyao, who was lost in thought at the moment, naturally did not notice the gloomy look in his eyes when he lowered his head.
…
When the princess returned home, she naturally had to leave her dinner, and the kitchen was busy preparing it.
Qing Leishan and Qing Zhan were still discussing clues about the female thief with the Jingzhao Yin.
Qing Yunyao was passing by the front yard when she saw a maid coming with a tray. Qing Yunyao recognized that the maid was the second-class maid in her mother's yard.
My mother, Liu Wan, is not in very good health, so she drinks a small bowl of red date porridge every morning.
A dark look flashed across Qing Yunyao's eyes as she thought of the small black porcelain bottle her master had given her. If she wanted to lure Qing Yue out, poisoning her second brother Qing Zhan would be far less effective than poisoning Liu Wan.
If Qingyue was not dead, no matter where she was hiding, she would definitely not be able to sit still as soon as she heard that Liu Wan was poisoned.
A sneer appeared on her lips, and then she raised her foot and walked towards the maid.
"This servant greets Princess You."
The maid was busy bowing.
"Is this for mother? Let me take it over."
"yes."
The maid said hurriedly.
Qing Yunyao took the tray and walked towards Liu Wan's yard. Passing by the corridor, there was no one around. She took out the porcelain bottle in her arms, poured a drop into the bowl, and then carried the tray into the yard.
Liu Wan was watering the flowers in the yard. When she heard footsteps, she turned around and her gentle eyes suddenly lit up. "You're back, my dear!"
As he said this, he put down the kettle in his hand and walked towards Qing Yunyao.
Liu Wan was born into a wealthy family and learned music, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood. Later, her family fell into poverty and her parents were murdered by villains. Her uncles and aunts wanted to marry her to a sixty-year-old man, but Liu Wan was unwilling and fled from that home. Later, she met Qing Leishan by chance.
But Liu Wan's sister Liu Mei was not as lucky as her. She married a drunkard with no ability and was beaten whenever they disagreed. When she was four years old, her poor unlucky mother died after her drunkard father hit her on the head with a brick.
She was a girl and was not valued at home. Her mother died and her father was arrested. She was fostered by others and suffered from cold eyes and torture.
Until I was eight years old...
Liu Wan and Qing Leishan appeared in front of her, and they brought Qing Yue, who was only nine years old.
What was the situation at that time?
Qingyue was wearing a red dress, bright and noble, and she looked like a child who had been raised in wealth. But what about her? She was wearing tattered clothes, and even the shoes on her feet showed her toes.
Later she learned that the bright and beautiful girl was her cousin, only one year older than her, and the daughter of a great general.
Why?
Why are they all children of Liu family's daughter, but are treated so differently?
Later, she was adopted by the Qing family and brought to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was a prosperous place, a world away from her previous life, but deep down, she was filled with inferiority and jealousy. She watched Qing Yue do whatever she wanted with her unbridled pride, while she could only tremble in fear. Qing Yue could act coquettishly and playfully with her family as she pleased, but she could only hide and watch enviously from the sidelines...
She admitted that Aunt Liu Wan was also very good to her, and everyone in the Qing family was very good to her, but this kind of kindness was far less than what they showed to Qing Yue.
Especially after she replaced Qingyue, she could feel the subtle differences even more. After all, she was not her biological daughter.
Thinking of this, his face turned three shades colder.
"What's wrong, dear? Why do you look unwell to me?"
Liu Wan walked forward and saw that her daughter seemed a little unhappy, so she asked worriedly.
Qing Yunyao shook her head, "Mom, I'm fine."
"Did you lose something important? Last night, there was a thief in your house. They went to your room to steal something and were caught by your second brother. Unfortunately, the female thief got away."
"It's nothing important, just a box of jewelry. I probably didn't sleep well last night, so I feel a little tired today."
