C164 (1/2)

Upon seeing Su Zhi who was still unrecovered on the bed, A Jin's eyes immediately turned red. Crying, she rushed over and hugged her. ”Mother!”

As soon as she said that, she started sobbing, ”I'm sorry, A Jin shouldn't have been so fierce towards you.”

After throwing a tantrum at Su Zhi, A Jin's heart was also in pain.

Today, when he went to the academy elder's room, he was unable to concentrate on listening to the lecture.

”It's alright, mother wants to apologize to your sister as well.”

Xiao Qian looked at his mother with a gentle expression as he silently walked out of the room.

His mother was waiting outside. When she saw him come out, she approached him hesitantly. She looked like she wanted to say something, but she hesitated.

”General …”

Xiao Qian nodded, gesturing for her to walk out of the courtyard and into a secluded area.

”What does Mother Ding want to ask?”

”General, I am not a talkative person, but I do have something I need to tell you.”

He did not say anything. With his back facing Mrs Ding, he gazed at the bright moon in the sky. He seemed to have guessed what the old servant was going to ask.

”Sister Lan is not the Madame's biological daughter, this servant just found out about this matter. But according to this servant's guess, Jin'er probably isn't the Madame either.”

Xiao Qian didn't look back as he stared at the crescent moon. After a while, he slowly replied, ”I know.”

Mother Ding was shocked. ”You knew?”

”Yes, I know.”

That letter contained general information about Su Zhi before she had left for An Ning village. Thinking about how the crown prince had treated her and how his business had been blocked, he had even guessed Su Zhi's true identity.

The acrimonious events of the past would be uncontrollably brought up again.

Although he hadn't been in the Imperial City for the past few days, he wasn't completely unaware of everything.

The people of Zhao family should have recognized her and tried to kill her.

If she really was the one who escaped from the sea of flames six years ago, then that child should be the descendant of Xuan Fei.

In the Great Wei, there was only one prince who managed to avoid the Empress's hands and grow up.

Don't bring up this matter in front of Ah Zhi. She forgot a lot of things from before and told me that she can't remember her past. Don't ask the one beside you, just serve her wholeheartedly.

Mother Ding nodded, but could not set her worries at rest.

As a result, Su Zhi and A Jin's life had become a mystery.

What if another person came to ask for a child? She sighed, not knowing what to say. After bowing, she quietly left.

Because Xiao Qian had returned to the Imperial City today, he couldn't stay for too long.

Su Zhi was also worried that not returning to report at the first possible moment would make the emperor unhappy. After having dinner, she urged the man to leave.

Su Zhi didn't have enough time to ask about the situation regarding the arrest of the traitors, and she didn't know what the actual situation was.

Only on the second day, news came from the imperial court saying that the civil and military faction had started a dispute.

The leader of the Zhao Family, a group of civil servants, scolded Xiao Qian for neglecting his duty and failing to capture the traitor alive. The group of generals were indignant and thought that the civil officials had gone too far.

In short, it was from the morning assembly until the end.

When Su Zhi heard the commotion, she became nervous. It just so happened that another uninvited guest came to Spring Leaf Lane. At first, she didn't want to let her see him and wanted to kick him out immediately. But the woman wouldn't leave. She cried at the door.

”Madam, let me see the child.”

Hearing this voice, her head felt like it was about to explode. If not for her timely arrival yesterday, this foolish woman would have already carried her child and given birth to him.

Su Zhi walked out of the door and coldly looked at Madame Zhou. ”You still have the face to come back?” You promised me you'd treat the child well. Did you do that? ”

Madame Zhou knelt and crawled forward, begging: ”Madam, I was just unable to think! Forgive me once. ”

”To tell you the truth, I really don't feel comfortable leaving the child in your care. Other than giving birth to her, you can't help her in any way. With your personality, I have every reason to believe that if you don't have a good time, you will vent your anger on her. So, even if you end up dying in front of me, I won't hand my child over to you. ”

Zhou Yang had no face to be ashamed of. She had no place to hide after being abandoned by Hugh. For a moment, she felt disheartened and resentful.
