Chapter 137: Chapter 137 - Cut off the Relationship
Cut off the relation? No longer one of the Qin family?
Qin Yunuan narrowed her eyes and looked at Qin Zhi . In her mind, she mocked the old-fashioned idea of Qin Zhi . It seemed that Qin Zhi thought the surname Qin represented the greatest honor . The Qin Family was among the noblest family in Qi . But after Qin Yunuan saw through the source of the family glory and also the dirt behind it, the identity as one of the Qin Family was already insignificant . She simply didn’t care .
“Father, you must be joking . ” Qin Yunuan lowered her eyes, “You spoke like how much I cared about this identity . ”
“You…” Qin Zhi was speechless .
“It’s just that according to my current status, getting me out of the genealogy shouldn’t be decided by you, father . ” Qin Yunuan was now the Infanta of the fifth-grade of rank, whose name was engraved in the royal family . How could a small Grand Commandant determine Qin Yunuan’s identity?
“Even when you become ashes, you are my daughter, and you’ll have to listen to me . ” Qin Zhi was angry and had lost his mind .
Qin Yunuan only glanced contemptuously at Qin Zhi . She had a hint of fantasies and nostalgia for the so-called father before . But now, after Qin Zhi’s words, Qin Yunuan no longer had any attachments to the entire Qin family, except Baochuan and Concubine Chang .
“It’s getting late . I have already got what I want, and I won’t stay for too long . ”
This daughter of a concubine took the mansion of Grand Commandant as a place she could freely come and go . Qin Zhi wanted to stop her, but he was petrified by Leng Changxi’s cold eyes and Leng Shuang tightening her grip of the sword in her waist .
Qin Zhi had always been looking forward to his daughter marrying a good family . It would also help his career when his daughter flew up to the top of the branches and turn from a sparrow a phoenix . Unexpectedly, the daughter he raised had become ungrateful . He also thought of Lady Yang’s remains, which were in the hands of Yunuan now . If Qin Yunuan had known the true identity of Lady Yang, she would only alienate more from the Qin Family .
The banquet in the flower hall ended on a sour note . After all the people had walked away, Qin Zhi met with Butler Xie in private .
“Butler Xie, go to Dou Meishuang and tell her that I no longer have any patience to wait . The Seventh Prince would return from Imperial Mausoleum soon . If she couldn’t make contact with participating killers of the Dou Family in Royal City within half a month, she doesn’t have to freeload in my family . ”
At the same time, Leng Changxi carefully supported Qin Yunuan on the carriage back to their palace . The carriage was warmly arranged . Leng Changxi hugged Qin Yunuan with one arm . His other hand rolled up the curtain and ordered to set off .
Compared with the time when they came, there was an extra carriage steadily following them . The little carriage was to take Qin Baochuan and his various books and notes back to Prince Ning’s Mansion .
“You’ve got the things, and also Baochuan is with you . Are you at ease now?” Leng Changxi stroked Qin Yunuan’s fragrant and soft hair . While stroking, he looked at Qin Yunuan sideways .
Qin Yunuan squeezed the wooden box . She was uneasy in her heart, “Everything is my guess . I don’t know yet . I don’t know if it is true . My mother never told me about her past life . ”
Leng Changxi nodded and said, “It’s strange that an ordinary embroidery maid could be proficient in lute-playing, chess, calligraphy, and painting . Plus, I secretly sent someone to the regions south of the River . I learned that 20 years ago a daughter of a concubine in the Shangguan Family did have ran out of the house unbearable of her legal mother’s abuse and hasn’t returned yet . I thought it must be about her . ”

She was also the daughter of a concubine and had been through the abuse of her legal mother . If her mother was the long-lost legacy of the Shangguan Family in the rumor, Baochuan and herself would be the grandchildren of Mr . Shangguan Yi . She heard that Shangguan Yi would come to the Royal City and give a lecture . The emperor highly valued this opportunity, as he came out of seclusion for the first time in two decades . This was also a good opportunity to pave the way for Baochuan .
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yunuan opened the box in one go . Inside, there were several jade pendants and hairpins neatly packed . These are the remains left by Lady Yang, Qin Yunuan’s birth mother . They were taken by Dou after her death and later was in Qin Zhi’s hand after Dou went to Psycho Tower .
“Look . ” Qin Yunuan pinched a piece of old jade that seemed ancient in color . The auspicious cloud pattern engraved on it was a little vague, but the golden bronzing inlaid was still discernible, “It was the character ‘Yu’ . ”
Qin Yunuan remembered seeing something like that on the waist of Shangguan Yee . It was a sign of the children of Shangguan Mansion . When a Shangguan woman reached twelve years old, and in men’s case, it was fifteen years old, he or she would be distributed a jade pendant bearing her own name . It was a symbol of the Shangguan Family . If the pendant was real, then Lady Yang, Qin Yunuan’s birth mother, would be the daughter of a concubine that the Shangguan Family lost 20 years ago- Shangguan Yu .
“Father knew the true identity of my mother . ” Qin Yunuan murmured, “From the beginning, my father tried to get in touch with the Shangguan Family, using the identity of my mother . He didn’t expect that my mother shut the thoughts for family reunion and didn’t want to show her identity at all . She just wanted to live her life in peace . That was why my father treated her more indifferently later . ”
It wasn’t just Qin Yunuan’s speculation . Her birth mother, Lady Yang, who perhaps should now be called Shangguan Yu, died early . But there was still a little memory left in Qin Yunuan’s mind . She remembered that her mother had constantly mentioned the beautiful scenery and snacks south of the River . She asked her mother why she knew so much about the regions south of the River since she had never been out of the Royal City . Her mother replied simply that she had seen it in her dream . And there were other memories about how her father oppressed mother privately . Those memories were not good, and Qin Yunuan wished that she didn’t remember .
After hearing Qin Yunuan’s words, Leng Changxi nodded and said, “Qin Zhi had his way climbing up in his career, he had never been ashamed of relying on women . Instead, he was very familiar with it . It is likely to be as you said . ”
“It’s not likely to be . It must be!” Qin Yunuan looked a little excited . “I remember, I remember how my father forced my mother back then . He found her jade pendant and forced her to send letters to her family . My mother refused, so he slapped her time after time . ”

As Qin Yunuan talked, her tears ran down the cheeks, and her eyes were swollen, making her look lovely . Leng Changxi hugged Qin Yunuan distressedly . His chin gently touched Qin Yunuan’s forehead . He calmed her down with soft words, “It’s my fault, my fault . I shouldn’t have mentioned it . All those things have passed . Sooner and later, Qin Zhi will pay for his hypocrisy . And Qin Yunzhuang, she will also pay for what she had done . As for you and Baochuan, let me take care of you and protect you . I will always be by your side . As long as you don’t leave, I will protect you until the end of your life . ”
As long as you don’t leave, I will protect you to the end . This sentence keeps echoing in Qin Yunuan ’s mind, so warm and so voluminous . The promise makes her erratic heart finally take root . She raised her head and looked at herself in close proximity to Leng Changxi . His deep, deep, yet star-like eyes are enchanted by the mask under the shadow of the mask .
“Thank you . ” Qin Yunuan pouted, stretched her neck, and kissed Leng Changxi . She whispered again, “Hubby . ”
The sentence and the kiss tasted sweet . Leng Changxi was instantly turned on . He got up and pressed on Qin Yunuan’s breasts . Putting the box aside, he supported himself against the carriage and grinned .
“The gratitude was not enough . ” Leng Changxi finished, biting Qin Yunuan’s upper lip lightly . And then he went down . The lips covered each other . With his gasp thicker, Leng Changxi began to stick out his tongue and pry off Qin Yunuan’s pearl-like teeth . They went all the way down until Qin Yunuan was a little out of breath and shoved him away .
The carriage wobbled slightly . Qin Yunuan blushed and pointed to the carriage curtain, “Someone is outside . ”
Leng Changxi shook his head childishly, “It doesn’t matter . They won’t care if I kiss my wife!”
Suddenly, the carriage trembled . Accompanied by the hissing of the horse, the entire carriage rocked violently like there had been an earthquake, and the sound of an arrow piercing the wood came from outside .

“General, there is an ambush . ” Leng Wu’s voice suddenly sounded .
Leng Changxi only cares for Qin Yunuan . He wraps Qin Yunuan ‘s waist tightly with one arm to help Qin Yunuan maintain balance . The other hand firmly grasps a raised beam on the carriage to maintain balance .
“Baochuan!” Qin Yunuan was most worried about Qin Baochuan in the carriage behind her .
“Leng Wu, go and protect Baochuan . ” Leng Changxi immediately commanded . With Leng Wu’s martial arts skill, it should not be a problem to protect a six-year-old child . Moreover, although the arrow rain came suddenly, Leng Changxi could figure out that it directed towards his carriage . The purpose was very clear . Whoever coming either wanted his own life or Qin Yunuan’s, or he wanted both .
The eighteen shadow guards around Leng Changxi was still no match for this sudden attack . It all happened in the narrow and secluded Qingshui Alley . Soon, there were casualties on Leng Changxi’s side . The groom tried to block the door for Third Young Master and Madam . He was punctured with one arrow, dying suddenly and heroically .
“Nuan Nuan, don’t be afraid . Come out with me . ” Leng Changxi held the soft sword thrown by his subordinates in his hand, pulling Qin Yunuan out while blocking the rain of flying arrows .
The sneaking archers were all hiding on the wall, occupying the advantage position at the top . Leng Changxi and his men could not counterattack in a short time . Qin Yunuan bowed herself and tried to climb out of the crooked carriage several times . But she was blocked by the dense arrow rain . The carriage made of solid wood could temporarily shelter her for a while, but as more and more arrows nailed in, a brittle cracking sound came out from the wooden board .
The last shield also began to falter .
