Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

The restaurant owner was a very versatile person. Before Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo even walked into the private room, he had already asked them what they liked and wanted to eat, and he even instructed the kitchen to prepare a few dishes.

The private rooms in Deyue Building are elegantly decorated. There are two charcoal stoves burning vigorously in the rooms. It is warm and comfortable when you come in.

“This place looks pretty good.”

Ye Jintang sat down and looked around. The calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of the private room and the ornaments placed in the room were extremely exquisite. They were not cheap stuff. It seemed that the proprietress really put in a lot of effort.

The dishes they ordered came out very quickly. Ye Jintang liked all the dishes he tried. Although they were not as exquisite as those made by the imperial chef in the palace, they tasted good.

The food was good, but unfortunately Xiao Mo was worried about something, so his lunch was tasteless.

"Jin Yuan, go call the boss lady over and tell her we have something to ask her."

"Yes."

Jin Yuan probably had already made arrangements, because after a while, the proprietress Xu Guixiang came in.

According to Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo's idea, Xu Guixiang should be a woman around 30 years old. After all, Nanny Qiu entered the palace as a wet nurse, and she had already given birth to children before entering the palace.

Besides, she owns a restaurant and she can’t be too young. A young girl can’t afford to open such a big restaurant in the capital.

But the Xu Guixiang in front of him looked only about 20 years old, very young.

If she didn't have her hair combed like a woman, people would believe she was not married.

More importantly, Xu Guixiang's appearance was truly outstanding. Wherever she stood, whether she was greeting or speaking, she looked like a lady from a noble family.

"Hello, sir, ma'am."

Xu Guixiang lowered her head slightly and stood at the door to salute. Ye Jintang glanced at Xiao Mo and wanted him to ask Xu Guixiang, but Xiao Mo's eyes were a little dazed and he didn't react at all.

She wondered in her heart why Xiao Mo was in a daze at this time.

"Please ask the boss lady to come over today. I have something I want to ask her."

"Madam, please tell me. I will tell you everything I know."

"I wonder if the boss's mother has mentioned the palace to you after leaving the palace."

Xu Guixiang didn't expect Ye Jintang to ask about the affairs of the palace right away. She was obviously stunned and raised her head vigilantly.

The moment Xu Guixiang raised her head, Ye Jintang finally noticed that there was a small black mole on her earlobe that was exactly the same as Liang Zhiyun's, but she had pierced ears and it was not so obvious with earrings.

Ye Jintang looked at Xiao Mo nervously. No wonder he had been in a daze just now. It seemed that he had noticed the small black mole when Xu Guixiang just walked in.

Ye Jintang once said that with so many people in Tianqin Kingdom, there must be someone with a mole in the same position. He didn’t expect to meet one so soon.

But Xu Guixiang is Nanny Qiu’s daughter, which is too much of a coincidence.

Ye Jintang gently squeezed Xiao Mo's hand under the table, then continued to look at Xu Guixiang and said, "Boss lady, don't be nervous. We know that this matter has nothing to do with you. It's just related to some old events, so we came to you to inquire."

"My mother used to work in the palace, but she never told me about the palace."

"Oh, I see. I wonder how many brothers and sisters the boss lady has."

Ye Jintang no longer mentioned matters in the palace, but asked about family matters. She could clearly feel that Xu Guixiang was not as nervous as before.

"I have two older brothers. My mother told me that I had an older sister who was about my age, but she later died of illness. When my mother was alive, she would take me to pay respects to her every year."

"I see. I wonder if Deyue Tower is the property of your husband's family or your mother's family."

"It's my property. When I got married, my mother gave me a little dowry and asked me to do a small business to make a living. I didn't expect that the business would grow bigger and bigger and eventually I had Deyue Tower."

Ye Jintang chatted with Xu Guixiang for a while. Occasionally, Xiao Mo would ask a few questions, but they were all about how Xu Guixiang opened a restaurant and her husband's family. He never mentioned anything about Nanny Qiu.

The three of them chatted for almost a cup of tea before Xu Guixiang left.

When only Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo were left in the private room, Xiao Mo excitedly held Ye Jintang's hand.

"Jintang, do you think it's possible? Xu Guixiang is my sister, but her age doesn't match."

Looking at the overly excited Xiao Mo, Ye Jintang patted his hands gently and tried to comfort him. People tend to make mistakes when they are too excited, and she didn't want Xiao Mo to make a wrong judgment.

"Women's faces can be very deceptive. For example, Xu Guixiang is the proprietress of a restaurant, so she should dress more conservatively. If she dresses too young and pretty, the restaurant might not be stable."

Xu Guixiang's appearance is outstanding. If she were a young girl to open a restaurant, the people who would come every day would not be diners but playboys.

Being married and older are the best armor Xu Guixiang uses to protect herself.

"I will send someone to investigate carefully to see if Aunt Qiu really had a daughter who died that year."

"Try to investigate quietly and don't draw anyone's attention. I'm afraid of scaring people who know the truth and making them afraid to tell the truth."

The people who come into contact with Aunt Qiu are all ordinary people. If someone suddenly comes up to them and asks about something that happened more than ten years ago, they would not dare to tell the truth, for fear of bringing trouble upon themselves.

"I see."

Xiao Mo couldn't wait to return to the palace, and immediately asked the secret guards around him to investigate. He had to know whether the daughter that Nanny Qiu died that year was her sister.

As things became clearer, Xiao Mo became more and more nervous. He was even a little afraid that the truth would be revealed.

What if all this was just a dream and his sister had died long ago? How would he face his lonely self?

The cases of Ge Mianmian and Nanny Qiu were handled together. There was no clue at all on Ge Mianmian's side. No matter how powerful the Yulin Guards were, they could not find many useful clues in a short time.

As for Nanny Qiu, the Yulin Guards quickly found an old neighbor of Nanny Qiu.

According to the old neighbor, when Aunt Qiu came back from the palace, a baby did appear in the house. Aunt Qiu kept this a secret very well. She only saw it quietly from the back window when she got up in the middle of the night and heard two children crying in Aunt Qiu's house.

But soon there was only one baby left in Nanny Qiu's house, and that was Xu Guixiang.

The Yulin Guards from the old neighbor also found out that before the baby died, a nanny about the same age as Nanny Qiu came to her house.

After this nanny came, there was one less baby, and the Qiu family became prosperous almost overnight. Later, the entire Qiu family left the capital and moved to other places.

Xiao Mo's face turned extremely ugly when he received the news.

All he knew was that his sister died of a sudden illness shortly after she was born.

But that is not the case. The baby that Nanny Qiu brought home is most likely his sister.

Coupled with the small black mole on Xu Guixiang's earlobe, Xiao Mo was now certain that Xu Guixiang was his biological sister.

When Nanny Qiu took the princess out of the palace, she probably discovered that she was still alive, so she kept her at home.

But the person who ordered her to poison the princess should not be worried about coming to her house.

Nanny Qiu probably felt guilty about giving her own daughter to a bad person, so she raised the princess, Xu Guixiang.
