Chapter 32: Shen Qingyan's Life Story (1)
In the few days that Zhao Mengtong lived in the Prince's Mansion, he was taken care of very well by Shen Qingyan.
Every morning, Shen Qingyan will come with Liu Lao, who came to diagnose Zhao Mengtong's pulse, and personally bring some light porridge and side dishes, and when Liu Lao's pulse diagnosis is completed, Shen Qingyan will talk to Zhao Mengtong for a while before leaving. Similarly, lunch and dinner were also delivered by Shen Qingyan personally.
"Qingyan, it's too much trouble for you these days." Zhao Mengtong leaned on the couch, his face was still a little pale, but his overall spirit had improved a lot, and the third prince was sitting on the side feeding Zhao Mengtong porridge.
"Don't say these unseemly words, the most important thing is for you to take care of your body." Shen Qingyan sat on the chair, and when she heard Zhao Mengtong's words, she hurriedly put down the tea in her hand and let her relax.
"How can you repay your affection if you want me to ......" Zhao Mengtong sighed and smiled helplessly.
"After the child is born, it will be good to recognize me as a godmother." Shen Qingyan took advantage of the sitting on the edge of the couch and patted Zhao Mengtong's hand.
"You are the child's aunt, why do you need to recognize any godmother." Zhao Mengtong patted Shen Qingyan's head amusedly, "If you want to be a mother, you can have one with your prince quickly." ”
"......" Shen Qingyan heard Zhao Mengtong's teasing words, her expression was bitter for a moment, why didn't she want a child.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Mengtong was smiling, noticing Shen Qingyan's somewhat abnormal expression, and tilted his head suspiciously.
“...... It's nothing, the third prince of your family is still here, don't say this. Shen smiled reluctantly and lowered his head shyly.
"Hah...... It's me who is too open-mouthed. Zhao Mengtong scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and a hint of blush appeared on his pale face.
"I went out to fetch water, you continued, I didn't hear anything just now." The third prince had been silent on the side, but when he saw that the two of them were a little embarrassed here, he made an excuse to leave.
Zhao Mengtong and Shen Qingyan looked at each other and smiled, and then turned to talk about other topics, the two of them seemed to be friends who hated to see each other late, and after these days, they were already like sisters.
"Who!" Suddenly, the questioning voice of the third prince came from outside the door, interrupting the conversation between Zhao Mengtong and Shen Qingyan.
"Don't move, lie down, I'll take a look." Shen Qingyan asked Zhao Mengtong, who wanted to get out of bed, to lie down and go outside the door to take a look.
Shen Qingyan opened the door, and saw the third prince, Yin Qi and Ling Guang surrounding the two people in the middle, and after looking carefully, he found that the two in the middle were very familiar, it was Aunt Lan and her husband who were in the pastry shop that day.
"Xiao Yan ......" Aunt Lan was calmly confronting Yin Qi and the others, and the expression on her face immediately turned into surprise the moment she saw Shen Qingyan, and she wanted to walk in front of Shen Qingyan, but she was helplessly stopped by Yin Qi, who instantly moved in front of Shen Qingyan.
"Aunt Lan? How did you end up here? How did you get into the Prince's Mansion? Shen Qingyan recognized Aunt Lan the moment she saw it, after all, this woman made too deep an impression on her. Since Yin Qi analyzed to her many suspicions about Aunt Lan and her husband that day, Shen Qingyan became vigilant, and today these two people entered the Prince's Mansion, which has always been heavily guarded, as if no one was there, and even Yin Qi did not find out, which made Shen Qingyan even more suspicious.
Fang Lan'er stood in place, looking at the undisguised concealment and hostility on Shen Qingyan's face, she was a little sad, her eyes were flushed, she lowered her head, and quickly raised it, as if she had something to say, but in the end she just pursed her lips.
"Lan'er, let's go." Shen Minglie sighed, took Fang Lan'er's hand, and planned to take her away.
"Do you really think you can still go?" Yin Qi smiled casually, as if he didn't take these two people seriously, but he protected Shen Qingyan tightly behind him.
"Boy, you know very well that if I can walk in, I can get out." Shen Minglie looked directly at Yin Qi, there was no coldness on his face, just an inexplicable majesty.
"Then you can try." It was not Yin Qi who answered Shen Minglie, but the third prince. Obviously, he linked the two people in front of him with Concubine Li, who had killed Zhao Mengtong.
"That's enough." Fang Lan'er said lightly, raised her head and looked at Shen Qingyan, as if she only had her in her eyes, but her words were said to Shen Minglie, "Minglie, let's tell her about that, okay?" ”
"Lan'er!" Shen Minglie frowned, signaling her not to be impulsive.
"I've had enough! I want to be with my daughter and I don't want to look at her secretly anymore! Fang Lan'er suddenly lost control, and shouted at Shen Minglie with red eyes.
"......" Shen Minglie looked at Fang Lan'er who was out of shape for a long time, for a long time, and sighed helplessly, which was considered a compromise.
"Daughter? What do you mean? Shen Qingyan looked at Fang Lan'er from the side for a long time, and heard a hint of something unusual from the vague words, and her intuition made her feel that she was going to know a secret that she couldn't even imagine.
"Let's go to the lobby." Yin Qi looked at Shen Minglie and Fang Lan'er for a long time, then suddenly squinted his eyes and asked them to move to the lobby.
Shen Qingyan sat on the chair, this feeling of unknown and out of control made her palms sweat, and the frequency of her heart beating was also a little faster. Yin Qi noticed Shen Qingyan's abnormality and held her hand tightly, giving her some sense of security.
Fang Lan'er sat opposite Shen Qingyan, her gaze never leaving Shen Qingyan. Although Shen Minglie was not like Fang Lan'er, his gaze at Shen Qingyan was also unusually soft.
"What the hell is the matter with you, tell me." Shen Qingyan took a deep breath and looked at Fang Lan'er.
"We ......" Fang Lan'er swallowed a little nervously and organized her words, "We are your biological parents." ”
Shen Qingyan heard Fang Lan'er's words, although his face did not show too intense emotions, but his pupils dilated suddenly, in the few words that Fang Lan'er yelled at Shen Minglie just now, Shen Qingyan actually had a faint premonition, but he didn't want to believe it, but at this time, when he heard Fang Lan'er say this sentence in person, his heart still jumped suddenly.
"Why should I believe you." Shen Qingyan adjusted his breath, returned to his previous calm appearance, and even calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. However, Yin Qi on the side knew that this was just a disguise, in fact, Shen Qingyan's heart had already been flooded.
"If you don't believe, we can confess your relatives with blood." Shen Minglie said with a smile, his tone soft.
"......" Shen Qingyan looked at Shen Minglie, his eyes trembled, "Cui Wei, bring a basin of water." ”
“...... Yes, miss. Cui Wei was instructed by Shen Qingyan to go to steam egg custard for Zhao Mengtong to nourish her body, but as soon as she walked in front of Zhao Mengtong's house with the egg custard, she saw the confrontation, and after hearing Fang Lan'er say that sentence, she was almost stunned in place, knowing that Shen Qingyan called her, she came back to her senses.
Waiting for the process of cui wisp, Shen Qingyan drank the tea without saying a word, Yin Qi lowered his head and was silent, one hand tightly held Shen Qingyan's somewhat sweaty hand, Fang Lan'er and Shen Minglie looked at Shen Qingyan, and stopped talking.
"Put the water on the table." Cui Wei brought a bowl of water, without any impurities. Shen Qingyan lightly instructed Cui Wei, tightened the hand held by Yin Qi, and Yin Qi helped Shen Qingyan to stand up, because although she was light and light on the surface at this time, her legs were actually a little weak.
Shen Qingyan walked to the table, glanced at the clear water in the bowl, pulled out a hairpin on his head, and stabbed it fiercely on his index finger, and the blood beads instantly overflowed in strings, dripping straight into the water, revealing a grain of blood red in a clear field.
"Fool! What do you do with such a hard stab! Yin Qi frowned, anxiously took Shen Qingyan's stabbed index finger in his mouth to stop the bleeding, and spoke to her so loudly for the first time.
Shen Qingyan looked at the anxious Yin Qi, and suddenly felt that the panic and tension in his heart were slowly calmed down. She found that no matter what the outcome of waiting for a while, she would not be afraid, because there was always someone by her side.
Fang Lan'er and Shen Minglie smiled with relief when they saw Yin Qi so nervous and Shen Qingyan.
Shen Minglie walked up to Shen Qingyan, took out a dagger from his sleeve, cut his thumb, and the blood dripped straight into the water.
Shen Qingyan didn't even blink his eyes, staring straight at the two drops of blood in the bowl, constantly surrounding in the water, and finally fusing together little by little.
"......" Shen Qingyan watched the two drops of blood fuse with his own eyes, his lips trembled a little, and he couldn't speak. In other words, the man in front of her is her biological father.
When Yin Qi cut Shen Minglie's hand with a dagger, he held Shen Qingyan in his arms and supported her. I didn't show any surprise to see two drops of blood fuse together. He is not Shen Qingyan, he will not be blinded by the various emotions in his heart, from the moment Shen Minglie and Fang Lan'er appeared, he was alerted, today's events are connected with all the previous ones, even if he does not recognize his relatives with blood, he can basically be sure that what Fang Lan'er said is true.
Shen Qingyan's gaze left from the two drops of blood that fused together, met Shen Minglie's gaze, looked away a little panicked, looked at Fang Lan'er again, and found that the other party's face was already covered with tears.
"Now, do you believe it?" Fang Lan'er was a little choked, and a variety of emotions were mixed together in her heart, but she couldn't resist the longing for her daughter, and wanted to step forward to hold Shen Qingyan's hand, but she was abruptly avoided, and her movements froze in the air like that.
“...... I...... What the hell is going on, can you tell me about it? Shen Qingyan realized that his actions were a little excessive, and when he saw Fang Lan'er's injured gaze, he lowered his head with some guilt.
"Okay, I'll tell you slowly." Fang Lan'er pulled Shen Minglie and sat back in her previous position, telling Shen Qingyan about the past little by little.
"My name is Fang Lan'er, my biological mother, and his name is Shen Minglie, and I am your biological father. Listening to the name, you should be able to guess that Minglie and Mingwei are related by blood. Myeongwei is Myeongyeol's younger brother. At the beginning, the two brothers of the Shen family in Mucheng, one was good at writing and the other was good at martial arts, which can be said to be famous in all directions, you should have heard these rumors, and then Ming Lie left, in order to disappear, only to cover up that the brother of the Shen family had died. I was the lady of Fang's family, the largest business house in Mucheng at that time, because my father was a person who liked to make friends, and he made a lot of talented people, so I had a lot of things since elementary school, in addition to the business and female celebrities that must be learned, martial arts and some strange ways also know some. Fang Lan'er first told Shen Qingyan about the background of the year.
Shen Qingyan listened quietly, her father had a brother with strong martial arts, she knew, but unfortunately he had passed away due to illness, and Shen's father mentioned his brother with great respect to this day, but he never thought that there was such a secret in it.
Fang Lan'er looked at the pensive Shen Qingyan and continued: "Back then, I met Ming Lie at the Lantern Festival, and fell in love at first sight, one family was an official eunuch family, and the other was a rich family, and the family was the right family, so it was logical to get the consent of my parents, and soon became relatives. Soon after, there you were there. On the day you were born, you could see that it was a beautiful embryo, and sure enough, now it has become like this, and it is stunning. Fang Lan'er looked at Shen Qingyan, her eyes were full of pride and pride.
Shen Qingyan has never had much of a good impression of his appearance, after all, he has experienced many things because of this face. However, looking at Fang Lan'er's intimate eyes, Shen Qingyan felt that a corner of his heart had melted.
"Then what happened after that, why did you leave me behind?" Shen Qingyan suddenly looked at Lan'er above, with an unconcealable complaint in his eyes, because of their discarding, he had lost his mother since he was a child.
Hearing Shen Qingyan's question, Fang Lan'er's eyes turned red again.
"We were also forced to do so. Do you know who Yu Liyan is? ”
"Yu Liyan? I don't know. Shen Qingyan shook her head, she had never heard of this name.
"It's Concubine Li." Yin Qi, who had been listening quietly, suddenly spoke.
"Concubine Li...... How could you get involved with her? Shen frowned, now as long as he heard this woman, he couldn't help but feel disgusted.
"She's in love with your father, Shen Minglie." Fang Lan'er said lightly, her expression was unwavering, but her eyes were as dark as a deep well.
