Xiao Changxi couldn't hold it in any longer as she started crying. She wanted to vent out all the struggles she had endured over the past two days, as well as the grievances she had suffered over the years.
The skirt of Qin Ming's chest became soaked almost instantly.
He looked at Xiao Changxi's shoulders that kept shrugging.
I feel so distressed!
Qin Ming stroked Xiao Changxi's back and comforted her softly! After a while, Xiao Changxi stopped crying.
...
Qin Ming pulled Xiao Changxi to the roadside, pressed her shoulders, and asked her to sit on a piece of bluestone.
Then he took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms and gently helped Xiao Changxi wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Are you feeling better?"
Xiao Changxi nodded and nodded, then fell silent.
[It would be nice if I had a cigarette now! 】
Qin Ming thought so.
He sighed, sat next to Xiao Changxi, and naturally put his right hand on Xiao Changxi's shoulder.
Xiao Changxi did not refuse and leaned into Qin Ming's arms.
"Qin Lang, do you want to hear the slave family's story?"
Qin Ming nodded, shook his head, and patted Xiao Changxi's shoulder a few times.
"If bringing up the past makes you feel bad, forget it."
After speaking, Qin Ming raised his head, looked at the mountains to the west, and said with a smile:
"Compared to your past, I care more about your present and future. For me, as long as you are willing to stay by my side, that is the happiest thing for me."
Xiao Changxi's heart warmed up when she heard this. After thinking about it, she said softly:
"The Nu family is from the Lanling Xiao family. According to the genealogy, the former empress is the cousin of the Nu family."
"At the end of the eleventh year of the great cause of the previous dynasty, the clan agreed to select a few girls of the right age from the family and sent them to the Jiangdong Palace. The slave family was among them. The slave family was twelve years old that year."
When Qin Ming heard this, his heart tightened, and the strength in his hands could not help but increase a bit.
Xiao Changxi seemed to have no feeling at all and said to herself:
"Compared to other women in the clan, the Nu family is closer to the Queen, so the Queen usually takes good care of the Nu family, and the Nu family lives a fairly stable life in the palace."
"Unexpectedly, not long after the Nu family entered the palace, Yu Wenhua and that old thief launched a rebellion. At that time, the entire palace was almost surrounded by rebels."
"After the Empress noticed something was wrong, she asked the palace maid to change the slave's clothes, and gave an order to Uncle Zhang to escort the slave out of the palace."
When Qin Ming heard this, he asked in a hoarse voice:
"Queen Xiao arranged for Uncle Zhang to escort you out of the palace because you were pregnant with a dragon seed?"
Xiao Changxi's pretty face turned red instantly when she heard this, and she reached out and pinched Qin Ming's waist.
Qin Ming, who was unprepared, was in so much pain that Xiao Changxi suddenly caused him to take a breath of cold air.
"Hiss...it hurts! Xi'er, why are you pinching me?"
Xiao Changxi snorted and whispered:
"My whole life, I will have consummation with a bad guy like you! How could I be pregnant at that time!"
Qin Ming's ears twitched, thinking he heard wrongly.
He quickly stretched out his hand to help Xiao Changxi up, looked at her with hot eyes, and asked excitedly:
"Xi'er, what did you just say? You will only be with me in your life..."
Xiao Changxi's cheeks turned crimson, and she looked at Qin Ming and nodded slightly, humming.
Seeing the confusion on Qin Ming's face, Xiao Changxi instantly understood what Qin Ming was thinking, so she put on a pretty face, lowered her head and explained:
"When we were at the inn, I was afraid that you would think too much, so I put away the sheets in advance."
Qin Ming was overjoyed when he heard this.
To say that Qin Ming didn’t have any knots in his heart before is simply a lie!
After all, in his eyes, Xiao Changxi was like a fairy descending to earth.
Not only does she have an outstanding appearance and outstanding temperament, but she also has a good figure, with a bulging front and a curved back!
By the way, what man wouldn't want to monopolize such a stunning beauty?
Moreover, if Yang Zijun is not Xiao Changxi's daughter, doesn't it mean that she is no longer the legacy of the previous dynasty.
Thinking of Yang Zijun, Qin Ming couldn't help but ask:
"What about Zijun?"
Xiao Changxi sighed after hearing this, and then explained:
"Zi Jun was an orphan picked up by the Nu family. At that time, the Nu family and Uncle Zhang had just escaped from the palace. The whole city of Yangzhou was in chaos, and the Nu family couldn't let it go, so they kept her by their side."
"Because they were worried about misunderstandings among the clan, the Nu family did not return to the Xiao Mansion and lived in seclusion outside the city of Yangzhou. It was not until last year that the Nu family heard in Yangzhou that the Queen Mother was brought back to Chang'an by the Tang army, so they brought Zijun to Chang'an. "
"You know what happened next."
When Qin Ming heard this, a big stone finally fell from his heart, as long as he was not involved with the Yang family of the previous dynasty.
Qin Ming reached out and patted Xiao Changxi's shoulder gently, and said seriously:
"I have suffered so much for you these years. Regarding Zijun's life experience, I will keep it a secret and will not tell her."
Xiao Changxi straightened up after hearing this, looked at Qin Ming and said:
"Thank you Qin Lang."
Qin Ming hummed, then took a look at the sky and said to Xiao Changxi:
"Let's walk back and talk while we walk."
Xiao Changxi nodded and said yes.
Qin Ming stood up and pulled Xiao Changxi up, then took out a piece of gauze embroidered with white luan birds from his arms and handed it to Xiao Changxi.
"Put this on."
Xiao Changxi took the gauze, looked at it for a few times, and asked:
"What is this veil?"
Qin Ming smiled and said:
"I bought this at Nichang Pavilion a few days ago. I forgot to give it to you yesterday."
When Xiao Changxi heard this, she pecked Qin Ming on the face, and then quickly covered her face with a veil without waiting for Qin Ming to make any move.
Qin Ming smiled when he saw this and said nothing. He took Xiao Changxi's little hand again and walked towards Qinjiazhuang.
"By the way, Xi'er, since Empress Xiao is your cousin, then Xiao Shiyilang is your cousin?"
When Xiao Changxi heard this, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"He is not a cousin of the Nu family, he is the brother of a compatriot of the Nu family. The Nu family brought Zijun to Chang'an because of him."
Qin Ming groaned when he heard this.
In this way, didn't I unintentionally offend my future uncle yesterday?
Hey, who made him want to redeem Wan'er based on his status?
Thinking of this, Qin Ming's heart tightened.
Xiao Changxi turned around and said doubtfully:
"Qin Lang, what are you talking about? Could it be that my brother said something yesterday?"
Qin Ming stopped and took Xiao Changxi's hand and said:
"Xi'er, if you knew him, you wouldn't take Wan'er to join him, would you?"
Xiao Changxi looked at Qin Ming's nervous look, a hint of cunning flashed through her eyes, and then she looked thoughtful.
"Hey, it depends on what the brother wants! After all, the elder brother is like the father, and the slave family cannot be the master of this matter!"
Hearing this, Qin Ming reached out and slapped Xiao Changxi's butt, feigning anger and saying:
"you dare!"
