Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Mystery of His Origins

"Don't just praise me, do you want to try?" Li Yi asked with a smile, she had already noticed that several people were gearing up on the side.

The girls nodded busily, handed the chopsticks in their hands to them, she happily hid on the side, and the sound of the girls laughing and playing relieved her of many of the depression caused by the fear of the kidnapping leaking.

Recently, she adjusted the policy of cooking for the old lady: in the past, considering that she was not in good health, she made light and easily digestible food, but the old lady still did not eat much. She simply focuses on "arousing appetite", and the focus of recent dishes is "delicious", without considering health.

The old lady liked this change very much, and the things she ate gradually increased, and she slowly relaxed her heart.

As always, when she brought breakfast into the old lady's yard, she met Chen's mother.

Mrs. Chen did not look at her more than usual, nor did she show too much concern, and respectfully waited for the old lady to wash. Seeing her like this, Li Yi didn't make any extra moves, and stood quietly beside her.

Chen Xiaoyun's body is only 14 years old, her adjustment ability is amazing, and her complexion is much better than when Xiaoqing saw her, but she still didn't hide from the old lady's eyes, and asked her with concern at the dinner table: "But you didn't sleep well at night?" ”

Li Yi was a little weak-hearted, she didn't want to deceive the old lady, but at the same time, she also clearly knew that she couldn't let so many maids know that she was abducted at night.

After hesitating, Chen's mother, who was eating breakfast together, covered up the past for her: "Don't worry about her, she is so young, it will be okay to sleep less, but you, have you slept well recently?" ”

"It's still the same." The old lady was still lukewarm to Chen's mother.

Chen's mother wants this effect: to use her dislike of herself to distract Yun'er.

It's just that the atmosphere at the table begins to freeze. Li Yi couldn't stand such solemnity, so she had to give the old lady shredded potato egg cakes and persuade her to eat more.

After eating this meal with difficulty, Chen's mother took Li Yi to her yard.

This is the first time Li Yi has been alone with Chen's mother since learning that she would marry Lin Tiankuo. Although it was only a day, she experienced too many things yesterday, and those pent-up emotions didn't have time to dissolve.

Chen's mother took her into her bedroom.

The familiar warmth slowly envelops Li Yi, where she can experience a relaxation that she can't experience elsewhere. She couldn't explain why it was more comfortable here than in her own bedroom, maybe it was the instinct of Chen Xiaoyun's body?

"Are you hurt?"

Li Yi's emotions were overflowing and she couldn't find a clue, so Chen's mother found a point from it for her in time, lifted it, and pulled the chaotic ideas into a line that could be clearly explained.

"Nope. Lin Zehai didn't want to hurt me, he just ......", and almost said the words "want to marry me", it's so dangerous!

She quickly changed it to: "Take me to a tea room." ”

Fortunately, Chen's mother was not focused on this, she comforted her daughter: "It's good that you are not injured, you don't have to worry about this matter leaking." I've taken care of it all. ”

Regarding this matter, Li Yi also has something to say: "Mother, thank you for bothering me, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and this matter is better than being blocked." ”

"Oh? What are your thoughts? ”

"The so-called reputation is something that exists in other people's mouths, and can spread some specious rumors, so that everyone's attention will not be on the matter of my captivity, and they will discuss other things, which naturally has nothing to do with my reputation."

"That's a good idea!" Chen's mother was relieved, "My daughter has grown up and can protect herself." As a mother, you can rest assured that she will marry you off. ”

"Thank you for planning a good marriage for me." Li Yi is sincerely grateful.

"You know I did it?" Mother Chen was surprised first, and then relieved in an instant: "Lin Tiankuo told you that, right?" ”

Li Yi, who said that he leaked his mouth, was a little embarrassed.

"You are all ready to get married, you have an emotional foundation, it's too late for your mother to be happy for you." Chen's mother's words are sincere, how can there be a mother in this world who doesn't want her children to be well. Although she has her own selfishness, her daughter's happiness is also in her consideration.

"I told him to save you last night." The daughter still didn't speak, she could only reveal a little more.

That's right...... Then I can rest assured.

"Mother, how did you convince the emperor to agree to this family business?" Li Yi is still curious about this.

Chen's mother had no intention of saying: "You are still young, there are some things you don't need to know." ”

"Mother, I can get married, am I still young? Moreover, it would be irresponsible for you to let me marry someone who didn't know anything. As a client, I have the right to know the truth. She threw herself into Chen's mother's arms and coquettishly.

I haven't felt like this for many years, and I can have such a warm embrace to rely on. She really enjoyed the happiness of being a little girl in her mother's arms.

Mother Chen was a little shaken, she was going to hide this matter from her daughter for the rest of her life, but what her daughter said was very reasonable, she was about to become the crown princess, and she had to tell her true identity in order to have confidence in doing things: "This matter is very complicated......"

"It's okay, you can talk slowly. We have a lot of time. Li Yi heard the hesitation in Chen's mother's tone, and hurriedly asked.

"Well, I'll tell you."

Chen's mother's story is actually not complicated.

She was originally the daughter of King Zhou, Princess Rouchen of Zhou, and the prince were siblings, King Zhou and the prince loved her very much, and she thought that such happy days would accompany her for a lifetime.

Her father couldn't stand the condemnation of the world because of his decision-making mistakes, and it should be logical to pass on the throne to the crown prince, but he suddenly came out with a vision, he was the younger brother of King Zhou who didn't care, and the uncle that the two brothers and sisters trusted.

However, he used her life as a threat to force King Zhou to write another edict, and King Zhou had no choice but to write another edict.

King Zhou was also lucky, he didn't believe that Huai Jing could fight the prince, who knew that not long after his death, the prince was framed to surrender to the state of Chu, and Huai Jing successfully ascended the throne.

After he ascended the throne, he used the assassins lent to him by the State of Chu to assassinate Princess Rouchen and the degraded prince, but the assassin who was responsible for assassinating her relented and secretly let her go.

Her father was dead, her brother was framed and killed by assassins, and she didn't want to live anymore, but the assassin who let her go told her that she had to live to avenge her father and brother.

Only then did she have hope of surviving.

The assassin wanted to return to China to report on her work, fearing that she would be discovered by Huai Jing in the Zhou State, so he took her with him to the Chu State. But in the Chu State, she couldn't go out, and the assassins sent to the Zhou State by the Chu State were all summoned back one after another.

So the assassin who rescued him applied for the mission of coming to Qingguo as a secret agent, and the family moved to Qingguo.

She had been living a troubled life in those turbulent days, but the assassin took good care of her, and out of gratitude, she married the assassin who came to Qingguo to be a spy for her.

Mother Chen was very calm when she said this, as if she was telling someone else's story, but Li Yi knew that it was impossible for a person with the flame of revenge in his heart to be really calm.

Their calm is only numb by waiting, and once they have a chance for revenge, they will surely fight back wildly.
