Chapter 56: Wait and see
"Madam, do you mean that Yan Gongzi already knows Wei'er's background?" Although Ling Xiaotian didn't want to believe such a thing, judging from everything so far, he had to believe it.
"I'm not sure, it's just that the 'jade' pendant in his hand is indeed very similar to this half of the 'jade' pendant." Zhao Jingyi's heart is also very 'chaotic' now, and she doesn't know what to do next.
"Does Viel know about this?" What Ling Xiaotian is most worried about now is this, if Ling Yuwei knows her background, she will definitely be sad.
"It's too late for me to hide from her, so how can I tell her about it?" Zhao Jingyi's heart became more and more worried, she was also afraid that Ling Yuwei would know about this matter, because just now she seemed to be full of curiosity about the matter of 'jade' pei.
"Madam, we can't 'mess around' ourselves, maybe that Yan Gongzi doesn't know anything, just asks casually?" Ling Xiaotian comforted Zhao Jingyi softly, although he was also worried in his heart.
"Master, I have one more thing to tell you, but you have to promise me first, and you can't 'agitate' after listening to it." Zhao Jingyi suddenly thought of another tricky matter, so she said to Ling Xiaotian with some concern.
"What's the matter, Madame." Now there was nothing that could shock Ling Xiaotian more than the incident just now, so he could bear it.
"Wei'er told me just now that Yan Gongzi is indeed from the Beiyun Kingdom." Zhao Jingyi leaned close to Ling Xiaotian's ear and whispered to him.
"What? Is this true? Although Ling Xiaotian was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by such a fact.
"It was Wei'er who told me personally, and she also said that Yan Gongzi was just an ordinary person in Beiyun Kingdom, but I don't think it looks like it no matter how you look at it." Zhao Jingyi recalled everything about Yan Zimo, and was even more sure that he was not an ordinary person.
"It's really not, and his 'jade' pendant looks very precious, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can have." The more Ling Xiaotian thought about it, the more worried he became, if the emperor knew that there was a person from the Beiyun Kingdom living in their Prime Minister's Mansion, then everything would become very troublesome.
At that time, not only Ling Yuwei will be affected, but even the entire Prime Minister's Mansion may be implicated.
"Master, if Yan Gongzi's half of the 'jade' pendant is really the same as this half, then does it mean that Wei'er may also be from Beiyun Kingdom?" At this time, a bold guess appeared in Zhao Jingyi's heart, but the more she guessed, the more scared she became.
The two pieces of 'jade' are worn, one is engraved with a dragon and the other is engraved with a phoenix, which are both symbols of noble status.
If they knew Ling Yuwei's true identity, they would definitely snatch her away.
"I picked up Wei'er outside a ruined temple in the Southern Spirit Kingdom, if she was really from the Northern Cloud Kingdom, how could she come all the way here?" Ling Xiaotian carefully recalled the situation back then, not believing that Ling Yuwei would be from Beiyun Kingdom.
"Master, let's not tell anyone about this matter first, just act as if we don't know anything, maybe we're just scaring ourselves." Zhao Jingyi didn't know what to do next, so she decided to wait and see.
"Okay, we can't let Wei'er see anything unusual, there are still a few days before her wedding with Prince Yi, we must let her marry happily." Over the years, Ling Xiaotian has already loved Ling Yuwei as his own 'daughter', so his only wish is to be able to see her happy.
After the two of them made up their minds, they put the 'jade' pendant back into the brocade box, locked it in the rosewood cabinet, and locked all their worries.
"Wei'er, is your aunt okay?" Seeing Ling Yuwei coming back, Yan Zimo asked with some concern.
"Thank you for your concern, she's already asleep and should be fine." Ling Yuwei kept thinking back to what Zhao Jingyi said just now, and always felt that she was a little strange today, and what she said was so strange.
"It's okay." Yan Zimo smiled faintly, thinking about how to further determine Ling Yuwei's identity.
"Zimo, I have a question I want to ask you, but I don't know whether to ask it or not." Ling Yuwei hesitated for a moment and said with some embarrassment.
"Whatever the question, you just have to ask." Yan Zimo didn't know what Ling Yuwei was going to ask, but no matter what it was, as long as he knew, he would say it.
"What's the mystery of your 'jade' pendant? Why did you show it to me and then show it to my parents? This is a question that Ling Yuwei has always had in her heart, but she doesn't know how to ask, but she really feels a little troubled, so she still asks.
"Actually, it's a long story, but I don't know if Wei'er is interested in hearing it." Yan Zimo didn't expect Ling Yuwei to ask him about the 'jade' pendant, but he still decided to tell her everything.
"Of course I'm interested in listening to it, as long as you're willing to tell me." Judging from Yan Zimo's words, that 'jade' pendant does have a story, and Ling Yuwei's curiosity in her heart is a little more.
"Wei'er, shall we go for a walk in the 'flower' garden?" Yan Zimo thought that maybe it would be better to find a place with a better environment to tell the story in his heart.
"Okay, let's go." Ling Yuwei slowly walked towards the 'flower' garden, while looking forward to Yan Zimo's story.
"Wei'er, in fact, this 'jade' pendant is our ancestral 'jade' pendant, but my one is only half a piece." Yan Zimo took his half of the 'jade' in his hand and said slowly to Ling Yuwei.
"And where is the other half?" Ling Yuwei asked with curiosity with her big eyes flashing.
"Half of it is on my sister." A touch of sadness flashed in Yan Zimo's eyes, in fact, he didn't know if his previous speculation was right or not, he was really afraid that it would be empty in the end.
"And where is your sister now?" From Yan Zimo's words, Ling Yuwei didn't hear anything unusual.
"I don't know where my sister is, maybe she's no longer alive, or maybe she's right next to me, I just don't know." Yan Zimo's eyes looked at the lake with some sadness, and now he was really a little 'confused', and he didn't know whether to continue to investigate.
"What do you mean by that?" Ling Yuwei felt that the more she listened, the more confused she became, and she couldn't understand what Yan Zimo was saying.
"My sister was separated from my family when she was very young, and we didn't have her whereabouts all these years, and the only token on her body was the other half of the 'jade' pendant, so I would ask around." What Yan Zimo said to Ling Yuwei, except for concealing his true identity, was true.
"I see, is there any news now?" Now, Ling Yuwei finally understood that the things Yan Zimo had done before were all to find his lost sister.
"No, it's just that if my sister is still alive, she should be the same age as you." Yan Zimo glanced at Ling Yuwei meaningfully, he didn't know if she was his sister or not.
It would be great if she really was his sister, and his mother would be happy to know that her sister was still alive.
