After Qiuyue finished the introduction, she turned around and saw Xia Luotong's abdomen. Only then did she realize the difference. She said with surprise on her face: "Little miss, are you married? Are you pregnant?"
Xia Luotong smiled and nodded, holding Wu Zechen beside him and said, "This is my husband."
She didn't introduce the name, just briefly mentioned it.
Qiuyue didn't pay attention. At this moment, her whole mind was on seeing the little miss again and the happy news of the little miss's pregnancy.
Seeing that everyone was still standing, she quickly stepped aside and said, "Little miss, please take a seat."
"Master, go and make tea for the young lady and uncle."
Qiuyue called out, and after Sun Yong saluted, he immediately went out to make tea.
Xia Luotong looked at Sun Yong's leaving figure and could see that Sun Yong was a shrewd person. After all, if he was not shrewd enough, he would not be able to help manage Master Sun's caravan.
However, Sun Yong's excitement just now didn't seem to be fake. Although he didn't say much, the smile on his face never stopped after seeing Xia Luotong and hearing Qiuyue confirm Xia Luotong's identity.
"Have you been living here all these years?" Xia Luotong looked around after sitting down, but found that it didn't look like someone had lived here for a long time.
"No, my servant and my husband do not live in the capital. It was Mr. Yi who specially brought us into the capital to meet the young lady. This yard is also a temporary residence arranged by Mr. Yi." Qiuyue replied.
Xia Luotong glanced at the smiling Prince Inuo. He didn't expect it to be his arrangement, but hearing Qiuyue's name, he knew that Prince Inuo had not revealed his identity.
"Qiuyue, you are now free, there is no need to call yourself a slave anymore."
Qiuyue replied with a smile: "My life was saved by the young lady. The stable life I have now is also given by the young lady, so as long as I am alive for one day, I will always be the young lady's slave, but the young lady... …”
Looking at Qiuyue's gloomy expression, Xia Luotong said nothing more. Compared to herself, Qiuyue was more familiar with her mother, and he didn't even remember her mother's face.
After a moment of silence, Xia Luotong asked about the past: "What happened back then?"
Qiuyue was not surprised by Xia Luotong's inquiry, because Xia Luotong had just been born when the Sun family changed, and it was impossible to remember anything.
In fact, Qiuyue didn't know much, but she still told everything she knew.
After her uncle came to Beijing to take the exam, Qiuyue was betrothed to Sun Yong by Sun. After more than a month, Qiuyue originally planned to go into business with Sun Yong, but Sun happened to be in labor at this time, and Qiuyue was worried, so she let her go. Sun Yong took the first step, and she chased after him.
It is precisely because of this that Qiuyue witnessed Xia Luotong's birth and Sun's death, and learned some secrets.
"Actually, the lady is not the master's biological daughter, and even the madam is not the master's wife. Only the madam and the young lady are mother and daughter." Qiuyue said, with an angry look on her face.
Although Xia Luotong and others had expected it from the beginning, they still felt a little nervous when Qiu Yue said this.
"The young lady had a difficult childbirth. When she was dying, she recalled everything and told some truths to the servant!" Qiuyue gritted her teeth and said, "Back then, the madam and the young lady went back to Da Zhou to visit their relatives. As a result, they were intercepted and killed on the way. After they both rolled down the cliff, they were killed by Sun. The master saved me."
"Mr. Sun fell in love with Madam at first sight. When he saw that Madam and the young lady had lost their memories after they regained consciousness, he actually lied directly, saying that the Madam and the young lady were his wife and daughter!"
"After that, Mr. Sun took his wife and young lady to settle in Anyuan Town, and lived in seclusion, with almost no contact with outsiders. At the same time, he also prevented his wife and young lady from coming into contact with outsiders."
"But my mother is of mixed race. I heard that her appearance is very different from that of the Zhou people. Didn't my grandmother and mother realize this?" Xia Luotong asked doubtfully.
"The young lady knows about this?" Qiu Yue was a little surprised. It was said that Sun passed away in childbirth when Xia Luotong was just born. How could she remember Sun's appearance?
However, Qiuyue did not go into details and continued: "The young lady's appearance is indeed different from that of the people of Da Zhou. Not only is her hair color golden brown, but her eyes are also blue."
"It is precisely because of this that the madam and young lady have never believed Mr. Sun's words, but they can't remember anything, so they can only temporarily stay in the Sun Mansion and try their best to restore their memories."
"Madam has always shared a room with Mr. Sun, and never let Mr. Sun get close to her. However, she could not recover her memory until she died of illness. Even the young lady did not remember her until her deathbed."
"This servant closed his eyes while watching the young lady. It was only after the young lady was buried that I set off to pursue Sun Yong's caravan."
"But not long after the slaves caught up with the caravan, Sun Yong got the news and knew that something happened at his house. He immediately decided to pretend to be attacked by robbers and fake his death to hide."
"Originally, we thought that even if it was an error, it would be nothing. The worst thing we could do was continue to restore our identity and run business. However, after the servant and Sun Yong quietly returned to Anyuan Town to inquire about the news, we found out that there was no one alive in the house! "
"We had secretly and overtly inquired about the little lady's situation, but we were told that no one in the Sun family was alive. We stayed for more than a month, but no news about you came out, so we left Anyuan Town in despair. , living in anonymity.”
Qiuyue said with tears streaming down her face. She looked at Xia Luotong and was filled with relief: "I didn't expect that you are still alive. It's so great! But I am really ashamed of myself, young lady, for not finding you in the first place."
"Qiuyue, it's not your fault, don't blame yourself." Xia Luotong comforted, and then said coldly, "It's normal that you don't know that I'm still alive. Back then, Xia Zhihe and Li were afraid that Anyuan Town would know about it in order to protect their dignity. Regarding the matter with the Sun family, I tried my best to conceal this past, so naturally I will not reveal it."
"Uncle?! Bah! He is not worthy of being the young lady's husband at all!" Qiuyue's eyes turned red with anger on the spot, her face full of hatred.
"If it hadn't been for my uncle, how could the young lady have been so sad that she caused the fetus to inflate, and died in childbirth as a result!"
"I didn't expect that Xia Zhihe would eat and use the lady's food. Even the expenses for going to the capital to take the exam were paid by the lady. But it turned out that he was good. As soon as he entered the capital, he clung to the powerful and flattered the noble daughter of a high official's family. I turned around and sent the lady a divorce letter back!"
"The lady gave birth prematurely because she saw the divorce letter, and she couldn't survive it in the end..."
Qiuyue gritted her teeth with hatred: "Such an ungrateful guy! He should have gone to see the King of Hell as soon as possible! I really hope that he has lived a miserable life these years!"
