At three o'clock in the morning, Qin Mansion, Qin Ming Study Room.
When Xiao Changxi heard Dong Xue mentioning a visitor named Xiao Shiyilang, she immediately grabbed Dong Xue's hands with excitement.
"Have you seen that guest? What does he look like?"
Although Dongxue didn't know why Aunt Xiao was so excited, she still gave a general description of Xiao Shiyilang's appearance.
Xiao Changxi's body trembled when she heard this, and then she asked cautiously:
"Why did he go to the mansion to find the young master?"
Dongxue remembered this matter very clearly, after all, she was the one who went to Wan'er to get the fireworks with Si She yesterday.
"He went to the house to buy fireworks, saying he wanted to celebrate his sister's birthday!"
Xiao Changxi burst into tears when she heard this.
[Yesterday, February 22nd, was indeed her birthday! That can't be wrong, it must be the eldest brother. Great, the eldest brother is still alive! Still alive! 】
Dongxue was startled, hurriedly sat next to Xiao Changxi, and asked softly:
"Aunt Xiao, what's wrong with you? Do you know that gentleman named Xiao?"
Xiao Changxi reacted after hearing this. She wiped her tears with her sleeves, raised her head and glanced at Yang Zijun and the other girls who were not far away and didn't notice them. She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Changxi took Dong Xue's hand and said solemnly:
"Xue'er, go out with Aunt Xiao. Aunt Xiao has something to tell you."
Although Dong Xue was a little confused, she still nodded out of trust in Xiao Changxi.
So the two of them quickly left the study. After thinking about it, Xiao Changxi pulled Dong Xue into Qin Ming's bedroom.
After the two sat down, Xiao Changxi asked in detail about Xiao Shiyilang and the content of the conversation between Qin Lang and him at that time.
When Xiao Changxi learned that Xiao Shiyilang went to the Qin Mansion again this morning and cried after seeing Wan'er.
Xiao Changxi was very sure that this morning's guest was her long-lost brother!
Because her appearance when she was young was very similar to Wan'er's current appearance.
If others see Wan'er and her together, they will most likely recognize the two as sisters or mother and daughter.
Not only that,
Later, Qin Ming uncharacteristically asked Wan'er and Dongxue to go out, leaving only the eldest brother in the house.
Xiao Changxi guessed that with Qin Ming's intelligence, he might have some guesses about her and Zijun's identities!
Otherwise, if it was just acknowledgment of relatives, Qin Ming could have let Wan'er stay.
Thinking of this, Xiao Changxi's heart tightened. Maybe she would ask about her relationship with her brother when Qin Lang comes back.
You might even ask about Jun'er's life experience.
Xiao Changxi asked herself, at that moment, she really didn't know how to tell Qin Ming the truth!
This was the first time that Dongxue saw such a tangled expression on Aunt Xiao's face.
In her impression, Aunt Xiao always seemed to be wise and calm no matter what she faced.
So Dongxue asked carefully:
"Aunt Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Changxi came back to her senses and smiled apologetically at Dongxue.
"Xue'er, apart from what you just said, how has the young master been in mood these past two days? Does he seem troubled?"
Dongxue recalled it carefully after hearing this, and then shook her head. Then Dongxue remembered something and said excitedly:
"Xue'er just forgot to mention that yesterday, in addition to the guest next door, the Queen also brought His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Yue, and His Highness the Prince of Jin... to visit the house together!"
"...Later, when we were having dinner, even His Majesty came to the house!"
"As for Xue'er, it's really impressive that our young master is so valued by your majesty and empress!"
When Xiao Changxi heard this, her delicate body was shocked!
She had just been thinking about how she should explain her and Zi Jun's parentage to Qin Ming.
But they ignored a very important issue, which is the closeness of the Qin Ming and Li Tang royal families now!
Xiao Changxi is not afraid that Qin Ming will reveal Jun'er's identity.
What she was worried about was that once she and her eldest brother recognized each other, the Qin Mansion and the Xiao Mansion would get too close!
This will easily arouse Li Erlang's suspicion!
Xiao Changxi knows very well the thoughts of these superiors!
If that day comes, with Qin Lang's current talents and earning power, we can't rule out the possibility that Li Erlang will get rid of him to avoid future troubles!
In order to gain power, Li Erlang could even kill his own elder brother and younger brother, and even imprison his own father!
Compared with these blood relatives, Qin Lang, the future emperor's son-in-law, is nothing!
Are there many emperors who have killed their consorts in history?
She couldn't risk the destruction of the Qin family to meet her brother, right?
At least my brother is still alive and well now, and that's enough!
The problem she faced now was what she should say if Qin Lang asked about it.
After all, with Qin Lang's intelligence, if he really asked about this matter, he would probably have guessed that he and his brother might be relatives!
Thinking of this, Xiao Changxi secretly decided to hide part of the truth from Qin Ming!
At least the fact that her family sent her to the palace as a talented person and Jun'er's life experience cannot be mentioned to Qin Ming!
Qin Ming cannot be allowed to associate Zi Jun's life experience with the late emperor!
At the same time, Xiao Changxi also made a decision to let Jun'er stay with Qin Ming as a concubine from now on!
After all, she really doesn't feel comfortable marrying Jun'er to someone else!
In her opinion, nothing is more important than spending this life safely!
As for whether those secrets can be kept secret for a day, a year or a lifetime, Xiao Changxi can only resign herself to fate!
[I hope Qin Lang won’t be too angry when the time comes! 】
Thinking of this, Xiao Changxi took Dong Xue's hand and said with great solemnity:
"Xue'er, Aunt Xiao hopes you can promise me something."
Seeing Xiao Changxi's solemn expression, Dongxue nodded heavily.
"As long as this matter does not harm Young Master and the Qin Mansion, Xue'er can agree."
Xiao Changxi touched Dong Xue's head and said softly:
"Silly boy, why would Aunt Xiao let you do such a thing!"
"Aunt Xiao asked you to agree to this matter for the sake of the young master!"
When Dongxue heard this, she narrowed her eyes and smiled:
"Well, then Aunt Xiao, please tell me, Xue'er agrees!"
Xiao Changxi said solemnly:
"Aunt Xiao asked you to promise me not to tell any third person about our conversation today, even if the young master asks about it! Is that okay?"
Dongxue was silent for a while and then asked:
"Is it true that it won't hurt the young master?"
Xiao Changxi was not angry when she heard this. Instead, she thought it was good for Dong Xue to ask this question.
Xiao Changxi smiled and nodded to Dongxue, then she raised her right hand and stretched out three fingers and said:
"I swear, this matter will never harm Young Master and the Qin Mansion!"
Upon seeing this, Dong Xue hurriedly stood up and walked to Xiao Changxi, and gave her a blessing and said:
"Aunt Xiao, Xueer agreed to this!"
Xiao Changxi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, stood up with a smile and helped Dong Xue up.
"Thank you Xueer!"
