She remembered that Zhang Pengze once said that Si Hong Bowen was the eldest son of the Huguo Gong and his wife, and he was passed on to the Dabo Zhen Guogong. In other words, in terms of blood relationship, she and Si Hong Bowen are cousins!

Whether in the previous life or the current Qi Kingdom, it is absolutely forbidden to marry between cousins and sisters. Even if the law is aside, from a human point of view, it is despicable for cousins to have feelings for each other.

Scenes from the past flashed through her mind quickly, her back stiffened, her whole body was cold, and her face turned pale. An indescribable pain held her tightly in it.

Mrs. Zhenguo sensed that she was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Qingyun! What is wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? ”

Seeing her look at the Protector and his wife in a daze, tears flowed down her cheeks silently, and she suddenly guessed seven or eight points in her heart.

"Yitong, I want to say a few words to Qingyun alone"

The father and mother and the husband and wife only said that their mother and daughter knew each other, and they had something to say, so they withdrew with interest, leaving only their family of three.

"Qingyun, did you think that Bowen was your brother, that's why?"

Mrs. Zhenguo wiped away her tears with a handkerchief as she spoke, took her in her arms, and patted her gently on the back, "Poor child, it's all to blame for your father and mother for not finding you earlier and making you suffer!" ”

Xia Qingyun just burst into tears, looking ahead with empty eyes, as if he hadn't heard her words at all.

Si Hongrui's expression showed a little strangeness, he couldn't help but come over, frowned, and said, "Wanqing, don't make your daughter sad, tell her everything!" ”

Mrs. Zhenguo nodded. gently stroked Xia Qingyun's hair, and said softly: "Child, if I guess correctly, you and Bowen, you must be in love, right?" ”

"Alas! Just say it bluntly, Bowen is not born to Jin and Ruoman! There is no blood relationship with us! Zhen Guogong couldn't see his daughter sad, and blurted out.

Xia Qingyun was shocked, and looked at his father in disbelief, "What? Bowen him. Isn't he the child of an uncle and aunt? ”

"Shh Mrs. Zhenguo made a gesture of silence. "Listen to me, Bowen was raised by your uncle and aunt, and there are no more than a few people who know this secret."

"Mother, you tell me quickly. What the hell is going on? Xia Qingyun asked eagerly.

"More than twenty years ago. Your father and three uncles. They are all the personal guards of the four princes. At that time, the first emperor had not yet abdicated, but several princes had already begun to fight for the throne. The four princes have both ability and political integrity. With the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China, he is the most likely to succeed the emperor and ascend the throne. ”

"The most ruthless emperor royal!" Si Hongrui continued.

"On that day, the lady was in labor, and the fourth master stayed outside the delivery room for a day and a night. Just when the woman gave birth to Lin'er, the mansion was suddenly attacked by dozens of assassins, the fourth master was injured, his wife was killed, and the child was also snatched by the assassins. Your uncle and I fought hard to catch up, and it was with great difficulty that we were able to get the child back. ”

The fourth master was heartbroken with his deceased wife, and he was worried that the child would be assassinated again in the palace, so he asked us to find a reliable family to raise the child temporarily. At that time, only your second uncle became a relative, and his wife was the lady's maid Ruoman, who cried and begged the fourth master to raise the child for the dead lady, so she took the child home. ”

"Who knows, the struggle for the throne lasted three years. Three years later, the fourth master ascended the throne, but the frontier was unstable, and the emperor had to lead the army to conquer in person. ”

"The emperor named our four brothers as the princes of the country, and when he saw that Ruoman and his mother and son were in deep love, he left Bowen at your second uncle's house. Later, your mother and you were separated, and your body fell into the root of the disease and could no longer have children, so your second uncle invited the emperor to pass on the blog to me. ”

Si Hongrui finished speaking in one breath, and looked at his wife and daughter with complicated eyes, "However, I am afraid there are still some difficulties to solve in the matter between you and Bowen." ”

The concerns in his words, Xia Qingyun and Mrs. Zhenguo also thought of it.

This is a secret that cannot be known to outsiders. If it is announced that Xia Qingyun is the biological daughter of Zhenguo and his wife, then in the eyes of outsiders, she and Si Hong Bowen are cousins, and they must not talk about marriage, unless

"Unless, we only recognize you as a righteous daughter, and do not let others know the truth." Zhen Guogong sighed, "It's just like this, I'm too wronged by you!" ”

Xia Qingyun's mood for half a day was like a roller coaster, from surprise to despair, and from despair to surprise.

She knelt down in front of the Zhenguo couple with a plop, "Dad, mother, Bowen is so pitiful, beg my father and mother to call the shots, I, I won't feel wronged." ”

What she said was pitiful, to the ears of the Zhenguo Gong couple, meant that Si Hong Bowen had just given birth and his mother died, but they didn't know that Xia Qingyun had another meaning.

Si Hong Bowen has done so much for her, and he was seriously injured for the people who guarded the Qi Kingdom, how could he make him sad in order to restore his identity as the daughter of the Duke of Qi.

Zhen Guogong and his wife discussed a few words in a whisper and agreed to Xia Qingyun's request. After all, in the past 16 years, they have almost lost hope of seeing their daughter again, and now the child is back with them, which is already a blessing from God.

Although Si Hong Bowen is not his own child, over the years, they and the Protector have treated him as their own, and they can't bear to see him sad and disappointed.

So, they told Xia Jianping and his wife that they must strictly keep the secret of Xia Qingyun's life experience, and they are still commensurate with righteous daughters to the outside world. Except for the difference in titles, this will not affect their feelings for Xia Qingyun.

When the matter was said, the knot in Xia Qingyun's heart was untied, and the smile returned to everyone's faces.

Zhen Guogong and his wife heard that Yitong was happy, so they had to take them to the capital together. They are the great benefactors of the Si Hong family, and they want to repay the life-saving grace to Xia Qingyun sixteen years ago and the kindness of nurturing them over the years.

After returning from the courtyard, Xia Qingyun and Yao Xili arranged the affairs of the teahouse, and then packed up their things and prepared to rush to the capital.

In fact, since the two princes and their wives appeared in the teahouse on the opening day, Qingyunxuan no longer had to worry about no customers coming to the door.

Yao Xili was very busy, the back kitchen and the front guys doubled the manpower, plus the book room was opened, and the downstairs seats and the private rooms upstairs were all full. Hua Jingtian also simply entrusted the Hua family's medicinal herb business to his brothers, and followed Yao Xili to concentrate on taking care of the teahouse.

Xia Qingyun and his father, as well as Xue'er and Heixing, came to the capital and lived directly in the palace of the prince of Zhenguo.

Every day, Xia Qingyun used the Seven Star Spring Water to condition the body of the two mothers, and Mrs. Zhenguo's complexion was getting better and better day by day. The Zhenguo Mansion, which had always been quiet in the past, gradually became lively. (To be continued......)
