"Qin?" Mo Bin stood up suddenly, walked quickly to Fang Zilan, and said in an excited tone: "Is your uncle Qin Yuan?"
Qin Yuan? Fang Zilan was confused, the name sounded so familiar. She thought for a moment and quickly realized that the Qin Juan mentioned by Mo Bin was probably Qin Juan, the jade-faced general under the former King Pingnan.
"Master?" Mrs. Hu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly grabbed Fang Zilan's hand, "Is the girl's surname Fang?"
Fang Zilan nodded numbly, with more and more doubts in her heart. She originally thought that meeting Mo Han was an accident, but looking at the situation now, are they also relatives in this world?
"Good boy, you have suffered." Madam Hu hugged her suddenly. She let Madam Hu hold her and looked at Mo Bin blankly, but saw that he also had a look of relief, "Good boy, I finally found you. .”
After a while, it wasn't until Fang Zilan called Madam several times that Madam Hu let go of her.
After she stood still, her expression was complicated, and finally she couldn't help but said: "My mother passed away when I was young. I know very little about her. Please tell me, General Mo and Madam, what is going on?"
Mrs. Hu held Fang Zilan's hand tightly and refused to let go. Mo Han hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her: "Mother, now everyone has found Sister Lan. Let's sit down and talk about it slowly."
Mo Bin also patted Mrs. Hu's shoulder gently to calm her mood. Seeing that she had calmed down a lot, he ordered tea to be served. After the tea was served, Mo Bin dismissed all the servants and asked a few people to take their seats one by one.
Mrs. Hu sat next to Fang Zilan, took her hand and asked carefully: "Miss Fang, I wonder if it is appropriate for me to call you like this?"
Fang Zilan hesitated for a moment, but finally did not take out her hand, "Madam, please call me Miss Lan."
"Sure enough, the Fang family treated you harshly." Mrs. Hu's expression darkened, but she said happily for a moment: "Fortunately, we have found you, and we will not let you suffer any more in the future."
Fang Zilan did not argue, just smiled slightly and said: "Thank you, madam."
"They are all from my family, so I can't say thank you." Mrs. Hu let go of her hand, took off the jade pendant from her waist, and put it together with her jade pendant into the palm of her hand, feeling relieved. In one breath, "It finally returned to its original owner."
Fang Zilan looked down at the jade pendant in her palm. The texture, texture and carving style of the two jade pendants were exactly the same, except that there was an extra word "LAN" on her jade pendant.
But her jade pendant is clearly the family jade pendant of the Fang family, so why is it exactly the same as Mrs. Hu's jade pendant?
Just when she was feeling strange, she heard Mrs. Hu's voice coming from her ear. It not only answered her doubts, but also brought to light a past event that had been dusty for many years.
"Miss Lan, your mother's name is Qin Xuan. She is the sister of General Qin Juan, who served under King Pingnan of the former dynasty, and the only legitimate daughter of the Qin family in Gusu." Mrs. Hu slowly said: "As for me, I was originally just... The actor who performs with his sister in Fengyue Tower in the capital is of low status and has no close relationship with Miss Qin Xuan."
"That was when the Chu Dynasty was still alive. That year, King Pingnan returned to the court victoriously. When he was riding in front of Fengyue Tower, he rescued his sister who wanted to jump off the building because he didn't want to be scorned. He fell in love with her at first sight. , My sister will not marry me if I say right or wrong. At that time, King Pingnan was fighting on the battlefield with a large number of troops and many political enemies. Since he said that he wanted to marry my sister, we sisters have been living in fear. "
"The emperor refused and sent letters to the court. The capital was full of rumors. Miss Qin Xuan appeared at that time. Not only did she redeem our sisters' lives, she also allowed us to move into the Qin Mansion as her cousins. She tried her best to Promoted my sister’s marriage to King Pingnan.”
Hearing this, Fang Zilan was shocked and couldn't help but interjected: "Madam's sister, is Princess Pingnan, Mrs. Qinji?"
"Yes." Mrs. Hu nodded, with a rare look of nostalgia and admiration in her eyes, "Under the circumstances at that time, Miss Qin Xuan single-handedly suppressed the crowd, with such power and aura that even a man could not match it. "
She seemed to be remembering something as she spoke, and smiled: "When you were protecting Han just now, you looked so much like your mother when she was young."
Fang Zilan waved her hands hurriedly and saluted Mo Bin on the main seat: "I was reckless just now. I hope General Mo won't blame him."
Mo Bin smiled slightly and told her not to worry. Mrs. Hu still smiled, "Silly boy, how could we blame you?"
After she finished speaking, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Mo Han on the other side brought the conversation back and asked, "Mother, what happened next?"
"Later, Da Chu was surrounded by powerful enemies such as Baiyue, Miluo and Beijin. Inside, there were various princes vying for power, and it became a mess. When King Pingnan was in danger, he was ordered to go to Baiyue, and his sister went with the prince. At that time, I am married to the master and pregnant, so I stayed in the capital."
Mrs. Hu looked at Fang Zilan as she spoke, and said quietly: "Miss Qin Xuan knew that Da Chu was in dire straits, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to survive for a few more years, so she gave these two jade pendants to my two sisters before she left with the prince. If one day we wander to the end of the world, we can reunite with this pair of jade pendants. I think Miss Lan has heard of what happened next. King Pingnan was defeated and buried in the deep sea..."
She paused, tears glistening in her eyes, "My sister wanted to go with the prince, but she was rescued by General Qin Juan, and then she found out that she was pregnant. She returned to the capital, and gave birth to Princess Wuqing. , died of hemorrhage. Miss Qin Xuan..."
She didn't continue, and Fang Zilan asked: "What happened to my mother?"
"The capital was in chaos. When I heard the news of King Pingnan's death, I took me to my hometown in the countryside for refuge. But Miss Qin Xuan was concerned about the Qin family and refused to leave with us. Later, after my sister returned to Beijing, she wanted to To protect my sister, I was snatched away from the Fang family as a concubine by Young Master Fang, and suffered all the humiliation..."
Madam Hu's tone was full of resentment. She gritted her teeth and trembled as she said word by word: "After the situation stabilized, the master demoted the Li family for the sake of our family. Only then did he dare to send people to the capital to inquire, so he found out about Qin Xuan." There is news that the young lady has passed away a long time ago. If you hadn’t met today with a jade pendant, we wouldn’t even know that she still has blood in the world.”
"According to Madam, this jade pendant should belong to Princess Wuqing. Why is it in the hands of my mother?" Fang Zilan's expression was dark and unclear. Madam Hu sighed softly: "When my sister returned to the capital, she pawned it because she was short of money. The jade pendant, unexpectedly by chance, the jade pendant returned to Miss Qin Xuan's hands. If not, how could Miss Qin Xuan protect her sister..."
Halfway through her words, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and cried bitterly: "A good person like Miss Qin Xuan..."
