Chapter 205
Recognizing relatives
"Qin?" Mo Bin suddenly stood up, walked quickly to Fang Zilan, and said excitedly: "Your uncle, is Qin Yu?"
Qin Yu? Fang Zilan was puzzled. The name sounded so familiar. After a moment of thinking, she soon realized that the Qin Yu that Mo Bin mentioned was probably Qin Yu, the jade-faced general under the King of Pingnan in the previous dynasty.
"Master?" Mrs. Hu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Fang Zilan's hand, "Is the girl surnamed Fang?"
Fang Zilan nodded mutely, with more and more doubts in her heart. She thought it was an accident that she recognized Mo Han, but now looking at this situation, are they also relatives in this world?
"Good boy, you're suffering." Mrs. Hu hugged her suddenly. She let her hold her, and looked at Mo Bin blankly, but she looked relieved when she saw him, "Good boy, I finally found you."
After a while, it was not until Fang Zilan called her several words, Madam Hu let her go.
After she stood still, she looked complicated and couldn't help but speak, "My mother passed away when I was young. I know very little about her. Please ask General Mo and his wife to tell me what's going on?"
Mrs. Hu held Fang Zilan's hand tightly and refused to let go. Mo Han hurriedly stepped forward and comforted her: "Mom, now Sister Lan has found all of her. Let's sit down and talk about it slowly."
Mo Bin also patted Mrs. Hu on the shoulder and sootheed her mood. Seeing that she was relieved a lot, he ordered someone to serve tea. After the tea was ready, Mo Bin held off all the servants and let several of them sit down one by one.
Mrs. Hu sat next to Fang Zilan, took her hand and asked carefully: "Miss Fang, I wonder if it's appropriate for me to call you like this?"
Fang Zilan hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't pull out her hand, "Madam, please call me Miss Lan."
"Sure enough, the Fang family treats you harshly." Mrs. Hu's expression turned dim, but she said happily for a moment: "Fortunately, we have found you, and we will definitely not let you suffer any more in the future."
Fang Zilan did not argue, but just smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Madam."
"It's all my family, why don't you thank me?" Mrs. Hu let go of her hand, took off the jade pendant on her waist, and put it in the palm of her hand with her jade pendant. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, the things have returned to the original owner."
Fang Zilan looked down at the jade pendant in her palm. The texture and engraving style of the two jade pendants were exactly the same, but there was a word Lan on her jade pendant.
But her jade pendant is clearly the Fang family's jade pendant, so why is it exactly the same as Mrs. Hu's jade pendant?
She was just as surprised that she heard Mrs. Hu's voice coming from her ears, not only answering her doubts, but also allowing a long-standing past to come back to the light of day.
"Miss Lan, your mother's name is Qin Xuan. She is the sister of General Qin Yuji, the subordinate of the King of Pingnan in the previous dynasty. She is the only legitimate daughter of the Qin family in the Gusuan." Mrs. Hu said slowly: "As for me, I was originally just a performer who was performing in Fengyue Tower in the capital with my sister. She has a low status and cannot get into any relationship with Miss Qin Xuan."
"That's when the Great Chu was about to perish. That year, King Pingnan was victorious and returned to the court. When he was passing by the Fengyue Tower, he saved his sister who was unwilling to be flirted and wanted to jump off the building. He fell in love with his sister at first sight, saying that his sister would not marry him. At that time, King Pingnan held heavy troops on the battlefield, and had many political enemies. After he said he wanted to marry his sister, our sisters lived a worried life."
"The emperor refused to accept it, and the court sent a letter to the capital, and there were rumors everywhere. Miss Qin Xuan appeared at that time. Not only did she redeem our sisters, but she also let us move into the Qin Mansion as her cousin, and tried her best to promote the marriage between her sister and King Pingnan."
Fang Zilan was shocked when she heard this and couldn't help but interrupt, "Madam's sister is Mrs. Qin Ji, Princess Pingnan?"
"Yes." Mrs. Hu nodded, with a rare attachment in her eyes. "Under that situation, Miss Qin Xuan defeated Youyou's mouths with her own strength. Even if a man is afraid of such a mighty man."
She said as if she remembered something and smiled: "You were just as safe as your mother was young."
Fang Zilan quickly waved her hand and bowed to Mo Bin on the main seat and said, "I am reckless just now, I hope General Mo will not blame him."
Mo Bin smiled slightly and signaled that she didn't need to care. Mrs. Hu still laughed, "Silly child, how could we blame you?"
After she said that, she picked up the teacup and took a sip. On the other hand, Mo Han pulled her back and asked, "Mom, what about you later?"
"Later, outside the Great Chu, there were powerful enemies such as Baiyue Miluo Beijin, and inside, there were major princes fighting for power and chaos. The King of Pingnan was ordered to go to Baiyue in the face of danger, and my sister went with the prince. At that time, I was married to the master and was pregnant, so I stayed in the capital."
Mrs. Hu said as she looked at Fang Zilan and said quietly: "Miss Qin Xuan knows that the Great Chu is in turmoil, and I am afraid it will not last for a few years. So she gave this pair of jade pendants to my sisters before her sisters with the prince, saying that if one day we will be wandering around the world, we can reunite with this pair of jade pendants. I think Miss Lan has heard about what happened after that. King Pingnan was defeated and buried in the deep sea of the land..."
She paused, tears flashed in her eyes, "Sister wanted to go with the prince, but was rescued by General Qin Yuzhuo. Only then did she realize that she was pregnant. She returned to the capital, but she was unable to give birth to Princess Wuqing and died of blood. Miss Qin Xuan..."
She didn't continue to say anything, Fang Zilan asked, "What's wrong with my mother?"
"The capital city is in chaos. When the master heard the death of King Pingnan, he took me to his hometown in the countryside for refuge. But Miss Qin Xuan took care of the Qin family and refused to leave with us. Later, after her sister returned to Beijing, in order to protect her sister, she was robbed the Fang family as a concubine by a Fang family prince and suffered humiliation..."
Mrs. Hu's tone was full of resentment. She gritted her teeth and trembled, saying word by word: "After the situation stabilized, the master surrendered Li for our family. Only then did he dare to send someone to the capital to inquire, so he learned that Miss Qin Xuan had passed away. If you hadn't met with a jade pendant today, we wouldn't even know that she still has blood in the world."
"According to what my wife said, this jade pendant should be owned by Princess Wuqing, why is it in my mother's hands?" Fang Zilan's expression was dim and unclear. Mrs. Hu sighed softly: "When my sister returned to the capital, she pawned the jade pendant because she was short of money. Unexpectedly, by chance, the jade pendant returned to Miss Qin Xuan. If it weren't for this, how could Miss Qin Xuan protect her sister..."
She said halfway, and finally couldn't stand it. She cried bitterly and said, "Miss Qin Xuan is so good..."
Who would have thought that this was originally a story about a tadpole looking for her mother, but now it has become the theme of family, country and the world...
