Chapter 421 Set of Seals
"None of these things have anything to do with you!"
"Who does that concern?"
"I can't say."
"So, there is a hidden story behind the deaths of Niu Dan and Uncle Li, and there is a lot of mystery surrounding Chen'er's life story. Xiao Ran had a reason to leave Hexi Village?"
A gleam of light flashed in Qiu Niang's eyes, and she stared at Yun Hu intently, her expression still sad and sorrowful.
But Yunhu's heart was all on Qiu Niang. He did not ignore Qiu Niang's strange expression and couldn't help but become suspicious.
Qiu Niang was clearly trying to trick him. Could it be that... this was the reason why Qiu Niang wanted to meet him alone tonight?
The scene fell silent for a moment. The orange candle flame flickered in the warm room, and the light and shadow danced restlessly on the wall. Half of Yunhu's face was wrapped in shadow, avoiding Qiu Niang's sight.
After a long time, a long sigh was heard in the house, with a strong sense of helplessness.
"The matter happened in the court, not in the arena. Luo Xiaoran hid it from you because she wanted to protect you. Are you sure you want to know, Qiu Niang?"
Yun Hu’s words successfully shocked Qiu Niang’s heart, but she had already guessed this, didn’t she?
"Chen'er is the child of His Royal Highness Prince Yan?" she asked calmly.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Yun Hu really didn't expect that Qiu Niang went through so much trouble to get him to talk tonight, but in the end she blurted out such a question.
He lowered his eyes and stopped looking at Qiu Niang. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a long while, he said quietly:
"Master Chen'er is not the prince's child, but he is indeed of noble status."
"His life story involves many forces in the court. Niu Dan and... Uncle Li unfortunately died in an assassination attempt on Master Chen'er."
"As for Luo Xiaoran, she has to go to Kyoto for some reason. There, she can help His Royal Highness Prince Yan, and maybe even find a chance to avenge Niu Dan and Uncle Li."
His Highness invited Qiu Niang to live with Young Master Chen'er, which meant that he trusted Qiu Niang. Young Master Chen'er did become more lively after Qiu Niang came.
Seeing that Qiu Niang had guessed some things and was willing to get to the bottom of things, although he could not tell her the whole truth, it was not impossible for him to reveal some of it.
Of course, the three words "Master Li" cannot be said, otherwise Qiu Niang would easily associate Master Chen'er with the prince.
Qiu Niang was stunned. Although she did not guess Chen'er's identity correctly, she had expected that Chen'er's identity was noble.
But she never expected that Niu Dan did not die from a sudden illness, but was killed by someone!
No wonder Yun Hu was reluctant to tell her the cause of Uncle Li’s death. No wonder Xiao Ran wanted to leave after burying Niu Dan. She must have gone to avenge Niu Dan and Uncle Li!
"Where's Xiao Ran? She went to Kyoto to seek revenge, right?"
"I can only tell you that maybe after a while, we should call her Princess Yan."
……
After Yunhu left, Qiuniang couldn't calm down for a long time.
In fact, she didn't take Lu Zhuer's careless words to heart at all.
Every time she experienced the death of someone close to her, she was indeed heartbroken, but if she was really the "bad luck star" that Lu Zhuer mentioned, how could God let her have a home in the North again?
Xiaoran has been gone for almost two months, and she has too many doubts in her mind. What happened today is just an opportunity.
She knew that Yun Hu would be worried about what Lu Zhuer had said and would definitely come to see her. She could take this opportunity to ask Yun Hu for clarification.
It turned out that without realizing it, these little people had been involved in the struggle among the most powerful people in this dynasty.
She knew very well that Xiao Ran kept it from her in order to protect her, so she would not feel any resentment.
Master Yun told her that Kong Qing and Master Sun were also about to set off for Kyoto, and they might be able to help Xiao Ran.
What about me? Qiu Niang couldn't help asking herself this question.
She doesn't know medical skills like Kong Qing, nor has she read many books like Master Sun, but she can stay with Chen'er well.
Taking good care of Chen'er might be the only thing she can do for Xiaoran now.
