The little dark guard who travels between two lives

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the mansion, Qin Mingxuan got off first. He smiled when he saw Xinhe and the others, "Why are you so well behaved today? You even came to greet Daddy and Mommy." Then he saw Yu Shen, "Shen'er, are you here to see me for something?"

Yu Shen bowed and said, "I have nothing to do. I just wanted to say hello to Master and Master's wife. When I heard that they were going to pick up the young lady, I waited with Xin He and the others."

Xin He and Xin Nan were also speechless. One taller than the other, they both stretched their necks curiously to look at the carriage. Xin Nan even looked up and asked Qin Mingxuan, "Where's my big sister?"

As they were talking, Liu Niang helped Ji Wanran get off the carriage. Ji Wanran turned around and reached into the carriage, and a little girl timidly walked out.

Xinnan looked at Xinhe and immediately exclaimed, "Sister, look, she really looks like you!"

Xinhe glared at Xinnan, then looked at the little girl beside the carriage.

The little girl in front of him was still a little shy. She stood next to Ji Wanran with a timid look on her face. She held Ji Wanran's sleeve tightly with her hands and kept her lips tightly closed.

Xin He thought of the wife of the Prime Minister in her previous life. She was well-behaved and polite in front of Yu Shen, and looked like a lady from a noble family. But behind the scenes, servants and secret guards like Xin He were arrogant and spoke harshly.

Especially when he saw Xinhe, he always had a sarcastic look on his face, and secretly threatened Xinhe not to complain to Prime Minister Yu.

Fortunately, Yu Shen rarely let her show up in public to protect her, so Xin He was less likely to suffer from her abuse. It was probably only Yu Shen who thought that his wife was a virtuous and weak woman like his master's wife.

Thinking of this, Xin He looked at Yu Shen again, but she didn't expect Yu Shen was also looking at her. Xin He quietly nodded towards the carriage, blinked at Yu Shen, and silently said two words "Madam".

Yu Shen immediately understood what Xin He meant and his face turned red. He glared at Xin He and warned her not to be too arrogant.

Seeing Yu Shen's embarrassed look, Xin He felt proud in her heart. She couldn't help but smile with her eyebrows curved and looked at the carriage with a smile.

Ji Wanran patted Qin Qingyan's hand soothingly and introduced them to her with a smile: "Don't be afraid, these are all your family. This is your sister from the same mother, named Xinhe, and this is your brother, named Xinnan."

Ji Wanran pointed at Yu Shen again and said, "This is your uncle Yu's brother Yu Shen. He is your father's student and is also one of our family members. You can just call him brother."

Although Qin Qingyan was a little shy, she still called them sister and brother, and then bowed to Yu Shen, but she did not call him brother.

Ji Wanran looked at Xinhe and Xinnan again: "This is your big sister, Qingyan. From now on, you three siblings must love each other."

Xin He looked at the timid Qin Qingyan at this moment, and the worries in her heart suddenly disappeared. Now is different from the previous life, why should she still worry about the things in the previous life?

Now I am no longer that unknown substitute secret guard, and Qin Qingyan in front of me is no longer the wife of the Prime Minister who is high above and held in the palm of his hand.

We have to look forward to live a good life in the future!

Xinhe looked at Qin Qingyan with a smile and called her "sister" sweetly. Young Master Xinnan was stunned looking at the two sisters who looked exactly the same.

Xin He patted Xin Nan's head: "What are you looking at? Call me sister!" Xin Nan covered her head and complained: "Mom and Dad, look, my sister is bullying me again."

Qin Mingxuan smiled and picked up his fat son: "Okay, let's stop talking at the door and go into the mansion."

Yu Shen hurriedly bowed and said, "I will not disturb the teacher's family reunion. In a couple of days, Shen'er and dad will come together to congratulate the teacher's family on their reunion."

Qin Mingxuan smiled and nodded. Yu Shen bowed to Ji Wanran again and turned to leave.

From beginning to end, Yu Shen did not look at Qin Qingyan more than a glance, except for returning the greeting when Qin Qingyan said hello. Qin Qingyan felt that this brother Shen looked at her coldly, which was a bit inexplicable.

But Qin Qingyan didn't have time to think about it, and was pulled into the Qin Mansion by Ji Wanran, all the way to the back hall. As they walked, Ji Wanran introduced the scenery and houses in the mansion to Qin Qingyan.

When she was in the villa, Qin Qingyan already felt a different kind of wealth. After entering the Qin Mansion, she realized that she was short-sighted.

What's the big deal about that villa? The Qin Mansion was a house bestowed by the emperor when Old Master Qin was still alive. After being run by the father and son, even though they were a family of scholars and did not like luxury, the carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and terraces inside made Qin Qingyan dazzled and she was secretly amazed in her heart.

In the past, I only heard Lin Ma say that it was only after she went to Beijing that she realized how big the world was. Now that I have returned home, I know what a truly prominent family is.

Qin Qingyan had only heard what Lin Ma said and couldn't imagine what it was like. But after walking all the way today and even entering the Qin Mansion, Qin Qingyan finally saw what true wealth was like.

The more he looked at it, the more indignant he felt. If he had not been stolen, he would have been able to live in a mansion like this since he was a child and enjoy all kinds of wealth and splendor.

Qin Qingyan couldn't help but secretly look at Xinhe, the twin sister who looked exactly like her, who was walking on the side.

She has the same face as herself, with a pretty appearance and smiling eyes. She was listening to her mother talking while whispering to her brother. It was obvious that the two siblings had a very good relationship.

Looking at Xinhe's clothes, the clothes were made of materials he had never seen before. They were low-key, but it was obvious that they were treasures that could not be found on the market.

There weren't many ornaments on her body or head. Maybe because she was at home, she only had a pearl hairpin on her head. But the pearls sparkling in the sun dazzled Qin Qingyan.

She had heard from Mother Lin that pearls come from the sea and are not easy to come by. Wearing such high-quality pearls on the head is not something that ordinary wealthy people can do.

Because such pearls are tributes, only noble people have the opportunity to obtain such good pearls.

She was stolen away at birth, but her younger sister stayed with her parents and enjoyed all the wealth and glory. I heard from Mother Lin that she even entered the palace and was loved by the emperor and empress, and was even given the title of princess.

Then shouldn’t everything she has belong to her? The more Qingyan thought about it, the more sad she felt, and she couldn’t help but shed tears.

Ji Wanran was excitedly introducing various pavilions and towers to her daughter. When she turned around and saw her daughter crying, she couldn't help but wipe her tears in panic and kept asking, "What's wrong with Qingyan? Is she feeling unwell or something?"

The whole family stopped and looked at Qin Qingyan who was crying. However, Xinhe understood something.

Just now, this elder sister was absent-minded when listening to her mother's words. She had secretly glanced at herself several times, looking at her from head to toe.

When Xin He looked over, her eyes dodged, but Xin He could see clearly the envy and jealousy in her eyes.

Qin Qingyan cried out in sorrow, "Please forgive me for my impoliteness, Dad and Mom. I just saw how good and harmonious my family is. I remembered that I was separated from my parents when I was young and could not enjoy their care."

"It would be great if Daddy and Mommy could find their daughter sooner. Then they can show their filial piety to them. Life without the love of parents is too hard to endure."

"My daughter has always been envious of other children who are enjoying the care of their parents. The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt. She couldn't help but shed tears."

Xin He calmly watched Qin Qingyan's tearful confession, thinking to herself, "What? Did you start performing as soon as you entered the house today?"

She kept saying that she had failed to fulfill her filial duties to her parents, but in fact she was secretly reminding her parents that they had found her too late, causing her to suffer a lot outside, which made her parents feel even more guilty about her.

Seeing her frail and sad appearance, Xin He felt that her expression was very familiar. Suddenly, she remembered that Su Peiyun was like this in the mansion back then, always lamenting her miserable life in front of her mother, causing her soft-hearted mother to shed many tears.

Qin Qingyan's demeanor today is exactly the same as Su Peiyun's back then, looking like a miserable white lotus.

Xinhe wanted to slap his head and sigh.

Didn’t Su Peiyun only visit Qin Qingyan occasionally? How come Qin Qingyan still learned Su Peiyun’s ways?

Xinhe looked towards Ji Wanran, and sure enough, her mother had already been moved to tears by Qin Qingyan's words. She hugged Qin Qingyan in her arms and kept comforting her.

"My poor child, you have suffered so much. If Daddy and Mommy had known that you were stranded outside, they would have tried to find you and you wouldn't have suffered so much."

Xin Nan looked at his mother and the new sister in confusion, not understanding why they were crying so sadly. He shook Xin He's hand: "Sister, mother has found a sister again, shouldn't you be happy? Why are you crying so painfully!"

Qin Mingxuan also comforted her: "Okay, everything will be fine now that my daughter is back. It's a good thing that our family is reunited. Why are you crying? Madam, aren't you going to take our daughter to see where she lives?"

Ji Wanran wiped her tears and continued to hold Qingyan's hand and walked towards the backyard: "Yes, yes, let's go and see the house that mother has personally cleaned up for you."

Xin He also said to Qing Yan: "Yes, sister, you have to take a good look at the house that mother has cleaned up. She took out all her treasures from the bottom of the box to decorate the room for you. Xin Nan and I are so envious."

Xin Nan shook her head and said, "I'm not envious. I just want to have a big pork elbow. Big sister doesn't have any big pork elbow in her room."

After hearing what her daughter and son said, Ji Wanran felt much better. She pointed at the two siblings and said with a smile, "You're still eating. Look at the oil on your mouth. You haven't wiped it clean yet. Did your brother Shen help you to eat again? Nannan, is that right?"

Xin He glanced at the fat boy. Sure enough, this idiot ate secretly and didn't know how to wipe his mouth. His mouth was greasy. She shook her head quickly: "Brother Shen and I were playing by the lake. I didn't know anything."

Xin Nan immediately became confident: "Mom, you heard it, Nan'er didn't cheat!" Xin He pulled Xin Nan's ears: "Hey, I just didn't see it, I didn't say you didn't cheat."

Xinnan immediately lost her temper: "Sister, you are so mean, which side are you on?" Xinhe laughed: "Of course I stand on mother's side."

The two siblings were making a lot of noise, and Ji Wanran started laughing too. She turned around and saw Qingyan quietly looking at Xinhe and her brother, with a hint of envy in her eyes. She couldn't help but feel sad again. Her daughter was living away from home, with only Mother Lin to accompany her. How pitiful.

She touched Qingyan's head lovingly and said, "Nannan, oh, that's your sister. Although she is a few years older than Nan'er, she is always making trouble like this. Nannan doesn't act like a sister at all. You will know how difficult your sister and brother are in the future."

Qin Mingxuan just watched his daughter and son making a fuss, smiling and not saying anything. He looked at Qingyan from time to time, and always paid attention to his daughter, fearing that she might feel uncomfortable.

Qingyan shook her head and said, "My sister and brother are both very good. Qingyan is very happy to have such a brother and sister."

Ji Wanran smiled with relief.

The family happily came to the house that Ji Wanran prepared for Qingyan. Xinhe now lived in the Guiyuan Garden in the backyard, and Ji Wanran tidied up the Yingyuan Garden next to the Guiyuan Garden and let Qingyan live there.

Qingyan followed her mother into the courtyard, which was decorated in a fresh and elegant style. Ji Wanran had the gardener plant many cherry trees and other flowers and plants. Qin Qingyan had never seen them before.

Ji Wanran pointed at the flowers and plants one by one and told her daughter the names. These were all things Ji Wanran liked, and she became very excited when talking about flowers and plants.

Xin He whispered to Qin Mingxuan: "Dad, this is good now. You see, I listened very carefully. Maybe Mom will find a soulmate in the future. Mom can take care of the flowers and plants with me."

Xin He shook her head repeatedly: "I can't do it anyway. Xin Er gets dizzy when she hears the names of those flowers and plants. Why are they so complicated? To Xin Er, they are just a name, flowers!"

"Nan'er can't do that either. Whenever mom mentions those flowers and plants, Nan'er asks if she can eat them, which makes mom very angry."

Qin Mingxuan tapped her nose and said with a smile, "Naughty!"

He looked at Ji Wanran and Qin Qingyan. It was true. The mother and daughter were talking excitedly at this moment. The lady had finally found a child who could get along with her.

After looking at the flowers and trees in the yard, Ji Wanran led Qingyan into the room. The various furnishings in the room were all good things that Ji Wanran found from the warehouse, and each one was a fine product.

Ji Wanran decorated her daughter's room according to her own preferences, so it was naturally very elegant, and the various items inside exuded a silent nobility.

Xinhe and Xinnan didn't think much of these. They had seen much better things in the palace, so there was nothing special about them.

Qin Qingyan was stunned. Such an exquisite and luxurious room had never appeared even in her dreams.

When seven or eight little maids came up to greet her and called her "Miss" in unison, Qin Qingyan finally understood what the wealth and splendor that Lin Ma was talking about was like.

Ji Wanran said, "You only have Aunt Lin by your side, so it's inevitable that she won't be able to take care of you. Mother has personally selected these little maids for you, so you can use them first. If there's anything that's not suitable, tell mother."

Ji Wanran just remembered it when she mentioned Lin Ma, so she said to Liu Niang, "Didn't you say that Lin Ma should be settled in the courtyard first? Where is she? Go call her over."
