She glanced at the calm Aunt Lin and sighed secretly.
No matter how many speculations she had, she couldn't tell Aunt Lin.
"Maybe it's a coincidence. I don't know when Master will come back."
True Lord Guangmu secretly sent her a message, saying that he was sure that True Lord Qingyun was fine and that he might have great luck.
Lin Qi felt that the day when her master would come back was not far away.
After returning to the Lin family, Lin Qi carefully reviewed the events and doubts that had occurred over the years, and found that all the crux of the matter lay in her identity.
If you push it further, the key to unlocking all the secrets becomes Gong Shaojun.
Lin Qi's intuition told her that as long as she found out the real reason why Gong Shaojun went into seclusion, all doubts would be solved.
Although Gong Shaojun couldn't leave the seclusion, Lin Qi couldn't ask her directly, but she could find ways to make insinuations and find out information about Gong Shaojun from other people's mouths.
Lin Qi thought very well.
She turned around to find Aunt Lin and said she wanted to meet the old people around her mother.
"My aunt, I have always felt that there was something behind my mother's sudden seclusion back then. My master and her are close confidants, and we once swore that my mother would never live or die for love!"
Aunt Lin was not surprised.
She had sworn the same as Zhenyun Qingyun, never believing that Gong Shaojun would give up her biological daughter and escape to death because of Lin Jue's raising an extramarital affair.
As a result, no information was found in the past few years. On the contrary, as time passed, it became more and more confirmed that Gong Shaojun was really frustrated.
"I have also investigated this matter..." Aunt Lin didn't know how to speak for a while.
She looked at Lin Qi seriously, "Sometimes, what you think is impossible may be the truth."
Lin Qi: "..."
No, she would never believe it!
Seeing Lin Qi's clear black and white eyes full of stubbornness and unyielding, Aunt Lin sighed and decided to let her go.
This child has been stubborn since he was a child. If she really wanted to investigate, she couldn't stop him.
"Okay, go check it out."
After thinking about it, Aunt Lin said helplessly: "Your mother is cold-tempered and doesn't like to interact with others. She spends most of the year practicing in seclusion."
"For so many years, the closest person to her has been her personal maid Gong Rong."
Lin Qi blinked, and something suddenly flashed in her mind.
Unfortunately, it was too fast and disappeared before she could catch it.
"Gong Rong?" She lowered her eyes and read out this familiar yet unfamiliar name.
A gentle and cold face vaguely appeared in my mind. When I thought about it carefully, I felt a little fuzzy.
"Is she still there?"
"She came from the Gong family with your mother. After your mother decided to go into seclusion, she returned to the Gong family. I once sent people to the Gong family to look for her. The Gong family said that Gong Rong had been released from slavery a long time ago. Ji, after returning home, he left the Gong family and traveled around the world."
"Left?" Lin Qi's expression tightened, "Never came back again?"
Aunt Lin nodded.
If Gong Rong really came back, she wouldn't be unable to find out anything.
Lin Qi asked again, "Is there anyone else?"
Aunt Lin shook her head, "Your mother also had six maids to serve her back then. Unfortunately, these people were all sent to take care of you, and she never saw your mother all year round. There was no use in asking these questions. news."
Aunt Lin could only say: "Your mother has a cold and solitary personality. She has never had a close friendship with anyone in the Lin family for more than 20 years. When I learned that she and Zhenjun Qingyun were good friends, I was really surprised for a long time."
Aunt Lin only understood Gong Shaojun's various abnormalities as personality reasons.
Lin Qi felt something was wrong.
How come her mother's behavior makes it seem like she is sending people away on purpose?
If she had any plans during this period, no one would be able to find out, right?
After asking around, the person in the entire Lin family who is most likely to know about Gong Shaojun’s affairs is actually Lin Jue!
Lin Qi was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.
It seemed that she had to be a filial daughter and visit Lin Jue.
The more Lin Qi thought about it, the more she felt that Gong Shaojun's behavior was weird.
She seemed to have caught something, and felt inexplicably excited inside.
After asking, he suddenly asked about the Gong family.
"Aunt, why did my father and my mother get married in the first place? Could it be that my mother also had a deep love for my father?"
The look in Aunt Lin's eyes at Lin Qi was a bit hard to explain.
Aunt Lin couldn't help but ask the question deep in her heart, "Who do you think your mother can be deeply in love with with her temperament?"
Lin Qi choked.
She has very few memories of Gong Shaojun, and many of her childhood memories are vague. How could she possibly know these things?
Is it possible that my mother was once so passionate?
Aunt Lin seemed to have read through Lin Qi's thoughts and stared at her quietly, "Your mother has never changed over the years. I don't know if it is because of her practice of ice spells. She is as cold as an ice man, almost I didn't see any other emotion on her face."
"Only during the time when she gave birth to you did she gain some popularity and become like a living person."
Unfortunately, it didn't last long.
Before giving birth to Lin Qi, Gong Shaojun was cold-tempered and did not like to socialize, but he was still normal.
Not long after giving birth to Lin Qi, Gong Shaojun suddenly became obsessed with cultivation like crazy.
He often stayed in seclusion for several months, even ignoring his one-year-old daughter.
Lin Qi was stunned, "I seem to have remembered it. In my memory, my mother would only see me before and after retreat, and on my birthday."
Some vague memories gradually became clearer as the puzzle pieces gradually became more numerous.
The Gong Shaojun in Lin Qi's memory was still taciturn.
While the maids and maids were taking care of Lin Qi eating, drinking and playing, Gong Shaojun was sitting nearby, his dark eyes always following her figure.
She seemed to be looking at Lin Qi, reluctant to miss any expression on her daughter's face, and she seemed to be thinking about something through Lin Qi.
When Lin Qi lost her temper when she was two or three years old, Gong Shaojun would occasionally hold her in his arms and comfort her.
When he was four years old, Gong Shaojun had never been close to Lin Qi again.
Sometimes Lin Qi loses her temper, smashes things and screams like a little lunatic, but she just looks at it with no expression on her face.
Let's say she doesn't love her daughter, but she actually thinks about Lin Qi in everything.
When he goes out for training, he always brings back various good things for Lin Qi.
If he has valuable magical weapons in his hands, he will definitely save them for Lin Qi.
Once the maid around her is found to be unfaithful, she will not appear in front of Lin Qi the next day.
It seems she has been like this from the beginning.
He seems to be living independently from the world, not stained by any dust, and does not care about his daughter's situation, but he quietly arranges all the paths for his daughter.
Take good care of your daughter.
Even before going into seclusion, two completely different paths were arranged for Lin Qi.
If Lin Yun, the son of heaven, had not intervened, Lin Qi's life would not have been miserable no matter how hard she lived.
