Zhang Qiuchi held the lamp in the courtyard, and the brother and sister sat down in the hall.

Knowing that the masters were going to talk about important matters, Ah Li and Mian both went outside to guard, and Ah Fu and the servants in the courtyard were also sent out.

"Big brother Sanyuan High School, I haven't had time to congratulate my big brother in person." Zhang Meishou said with a smile.

As she spoke, she raised the teacup in her hand, just like she used tea instead of wine before she left for Suzhou.

Zhang Qiuchi also picked up the teacup, took a bite, and put it down.

"The second sister has lost a lot of weight, and she must have had a bumpy journey back and forth and suffered a lot." The young man looked at his sister, and his eyes were really distressed.

And even if the things in his heart were like a mountain that made him unable to breathe day and night, he still asked first: "Second sister went to Suzhou this time, is everything going well?" ”

"Everything is going well, my aunt has recovered, and Brother Lao is worried."

Zhang Qiuchi settled down.

Immediately, I heard Zhang Meishou ask: "The eldest brother is becoming more and more clear, but the errands in the Hanlin Academy are too hard, too hard?" ”

Zhang Qiuchi shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't think it's so hard, it's about the blessing of the second sister and His Royal Highness, and you all take great care of me." ”

"Why don't you say that you see that the eldest brother has not yet decided to marry, and they all want to compete to abduct the eldest brother home to be a son-in-law?"

Zhang Qiuchi coughed lightly a little uncomfortably.

"Second sister, don't make fun of me."

Zhang Meishou didn't say too many jokes out of place, and gradually put away his smile and said, "Didn't the eldest brother say that he had something to ask me?" Just ask. ”

What she wants to say should be the same thing as what her eldest brother wants to ask. It makes no distinction who speaks first.

When he was about to speak, Zhang Qiuchi hesitated.

He wanted to ask.

But I'm afraid to ask after I ask...... Nothing will be the same again.

He cherishes everything in front of him very much, and he is not willing to lose it in his selfish heart.

But in an instant, he thought of the "similarities" between himself and his second sister - to live soberly, he should have the courage to regard hardships as grinding.

"The second sister didn't know that she was at the wedding banquet that day...... I met with the Great Master. The boy finally spoke, his tone a little tense.

"Your Highness has written to inform me of this."

Zhang Meishou didn't hide it from him, but asked softly, "I don't know what he said to his eldest brother?" ”

His Royal Highness asked Xie Qian, and he also asked himself, but the eldest brother did not want to mention it, and His Royal Highness could not force it, so he could only secretly order someone to pay attention to the eldest brother, so as not to give Jixiao a chance.

"Said something very weird." Zhang Qiuchi said: "Between words, he seems to know about my strange illness......"

"He probably knows."

"But why would he know?"

His eyes were full of stubborn but probing with gains and losses, Zhang Meishou paused, and said in a low voice: "...... I also learned not long ago that he was born with this strange disease. ”

Zhang Qiuchi's expression changed slightly.

The national teacher also has this strange disease?

Isn't that a bit of a coincidence?

He should have delved into this question, but at this time he subconsciously chose to avoid it for the time being, and then said, "He also asked me a question-"

"What?"

"Have you ever doubted your own background?"

Zhang Qiuchi retold this sentence that had been lingering in his heart for many days, as if he had become a heart disease.

Zhang Meishou's heart was slightly cold.

This demon monk who kills a thousand knives is very good at punishing his heart!

She had already decided that she would not hide it from her eldest brother, but she did not want him to accept the answer in this way alone—especially from the scheming demon monk.

These days, the eldest brother must be very tormented in his heart.

Thinking of this, she was full of coldness, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Didn't the eldest brother go to him to ask about this matter?" ”

"I think the second sister might know why he said that."

Zhang Qiuchi smiled reluctantly, but his tone was sincere: "If I can ask from the mouth of the second sister, why should I ask irrelevant outsiders - and he obviously intends to provoke my curiosity, most likely waiting for me to find him." If I go, without knowing his intentions, and fall for his calculations and provocations, will it not be troublesome? ”

If the second sister really doesn't know, she can discuss it with him.

After all, over the years, the second sister has been his backbone.

So, he has been waiting for his second sister to come back.

Zhang Meishou was touched when he heard this, and he was relieved and heartwarming.

Her brother has always been so calm and rational, but he trusts her unconditionally.

"Big Brother ......"

She spoke, her expression was more complicated and solemn than ever before: "Regarding the life experience of the eldest brother, I do know some hidden secrets that others do not know. ”

She had to at least let her eldest brother slow down before she could speak directly.

The young man seemed to freeze, only a pair of eyes trembled slightly, and he did not dare to look at her.

It took a long time before he spoke with difficulty.

"I'm not in my father's blood...... Right? ”

It was he who asked out of his mouth.

Zhang Meishou wanted to nod, but suddenly couldn't bear it - although she clearly knew that this so-called intolerance had no meaning at the moment, and she was not such a soft-hearted person in her life.

But she couldn't nod her head.

But she knew that the eldest brother must have understood.

Zhang Qiuchi looked at her and asked in a hoarse voice, "Second sister...... How do you know? ”

The four eyes met, and Zhang Meishou saw a silent but strong prayer from his eyes - hoping that she was also being coaxed, hoping that the news was not credible, and everything was a farce.

"I hid two things from my eldest brother, and this matter is considered one."

Zhang Meishou looked at him and said, "The other thing is that Aunt Miao is still alive." ”

Zhang Qiuchi's expression was shocked, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Second sister...... What did you say?! ”

He even stood up slowly in a chair.

Is my aunt still alive?

This- how is that possible!

"Back then, in the Zhuangzi, in the tea bowl that the eldest brother brought her, I manipulated her and made the medicine make her fake death and get out, and concealed it from everyone." Zhang Meishou said to him: "Over the years, I have never broken off contact with her secretly, she has changed her identity, and now she is called Tian." ”

“……”

Zhang Qiuchi listened to these words and only felt incredible.

But he knew that the second sister would never lie to him!

"The reason why I saved her in the first place was because I had my own selfishness and calculations. Therefore, he did not tell anyone, including the eldest brother. Zhang Meishou said truthfully.

She did save Tian out of selfishness, which she had no intention of denying.

Zhang Qiuchi's character is here, he won't care about this, and he doesn't have any extra thoughts to care about it at this time.

"The background of the eldest brother, I confirmed it from her mouth." Zhang Meishou finally spoke.

Zhang Qiuchi's gaze didn't know where to fall for a while.

It turned out to be admitted by my aunt herself......

It was actually my aunt who admitted it......

In fact, he had already thought that if it weren't for the proven truth, the second sister would not have told him so surely.

The young man moved the corners of his mouth.

He didn't know whether to be happy that his aunt was still alive in this world, or whether to feel sad and difficult to deal with this truth that could no longer be turned around.
