Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Zhao Chongqing nodded and said, "Well, I became suspicious after hearing Aunt Cui describe the scene of their meeting."

"I originally wanted to talk to Uncle Hua and the others to see if there was anything wrong here, but I didn't expect to hear such news from them."

"After I found out, I thought of taking advantage of her situation and staying by Aunt Cui's side."

"First, I want to get in touch with them and see what they are planning to do. Second, I want to protect Aunt Cui."

"Qin Sui'an behaved very naturally in front of me, and there was nothing wrong with him."

"But I know his identity, so I naturally won't act too aggressively when interacting with him. Qin Sui'an is also very alert. I've met him a few times, and he behaves very naturally in front of me. I can't tell at all that he's trying to plot something by interacting with Aunt Cui."

"The more this happens, the more worried I become. I'm afraid he'll hurt Aunt Cui, so..."

"Later, I often mentioned her sister in front of Aunt Cui..." When he said this, a look of guilt flashed across Zhao Chongqing's face.

No matter what he was planning that day, he ended up hurting Aunt Cui who was so good to him.

"Gradually, Aunt Cui began to express her longing for her family in front of Qin Sui'an. Perhaps Qin Sui'an and the others had planned to reunite Aunt Cui and Yan Niang, and it wasn't long before Yan Niang showed up on her own initiative."

"During those days, I happened to be thinking about what the old man and the Taoist priest said..."

"I didn't follow Aunt Cui."

"That night, as soon as I returned to the yard, I saw Aunt Cui coming back happily..."

As soon as she entered the house, Cui'er excitedly grabbed Zhao Chongqing's hand and said, "Chong'er, Chong'er, let me tell you something unbelievable. My sister, my sister is not dead, she is not dead, you know? I have met her before, and she said it's not that she doesn't want to see me, but we met in the government office before, and she was afraid that I would think she had other motives, so she didn't come to see me, and wanted to let An'er and I get in touch first..."

Cui'er said a lot more, and Zhao Chongqing just listened.

After Cui'er finished telling everything, Zhao Chongqing spoke reluctantly.

"Aunt Cui, don't you think her appearance is strange?"

Cui Er, of course, felt nothing and shook her head, "What's wrong, Chong Er?"

Zhao Chongqing thought for a moment before saying, "Aunt Cui, please sit down first and I'll talk to you slowly."

Seeing his serious expression, Cui'er also became uneasy and tightened her grip on Zhao Chongqing's hand. "Chong'er, if there's anything, just tell me. Don't worry, Aunt Cui can handle it."

Zhao Chongqing looked into her eyes, and the emotion of pity in his eyes became even stronger.

But thinking about what would happen later, he hardened his heart and told Cui'er what he knew.

He might be leaving soon, and the person he is most worried about is Aunt Cui.

Even though he knew Leng Yuze could take good care of her, he couldn't bear to see her sincerity being taken advantage of.

As he expected, Cui'er was stunned after hearing the whole story.

He sat there for a long time, then seemed to find his voice again, and tremblingly said, "Is it true? My sister... Yan Niang is really Qin Zhaohai's woman, and An'er is also Qin Zhaohai's child?"

"Yes." Chong'er answered affirmatively, and then continued: "Aunt Cui, I know you don't want to believe it in your heart, but this is the fact. We will not stop you from recognizing your relatives, but I hope Aunt Cui will not reveal too much about Aunt Leng and the others when you are with them..."

Cui'er was silent.

The scenes of my time with Qin Suian flashed through my mind.

She didn't know if she had said anything to him unconsciously...

Also, when I saw Yan Niang...

She told her clearly not to tell anyone about her.

The reason she told Chong'er was because she had long regarded Chong'er as her own child.

did not expect.....

Zhao Chongqing noticed that she was in a bad mood. Like when he was a child, he half-knelt down, put his arms around her waist, and placed his head on her legs. "Aunt Cui, you are the closest person to me in the world. I don't want you to get hurt. Please don't blame me for being cruel. I..."

Cui'er's eyes instantly turned red when he said that.

Over the years, she has treated Zhao Chongqing as her own child.

Although she has missed her family over the years, but...

Compared with Chong'er, sister...

"Chong'er, tell me, what's the best thing for me to do? Should I stop contacting them, or..."

She is not confused. If she had not been saved by the Crown Princess in her early years, she would not be alive today.

Now that he knew that the death of the Crown Princess and the others might be related to the person behind his sister, it would be a lie to say that he was not touched.

Although she was happy to have found her family, she also understood that contact with a purpose, even if it was out of family affection... was unforgivable.

Zhao Chongqing shook his head repeatedly, "No, Aunt Cui, we don't need you to do anything. Just remember what I said and get along with them however you want on a daily basis."

He told her this not because he wanted her to do anything, but because he was worried that she wouldn't be able to protect herself after he left.

He had previously taken advantage of her longing for her family to lure Yan Niang out, so he could no longer use Aunt Cui.

If he had not made up his mind to return to the capital, he would not have revealed Yan Niang's identity to her tonight.

He was just afraid that Aunt Cui would be deceived by the false affection they showed.

That was why he kept mentioning her deceased sister in front of Aunt Cui at the beginning, just to make Yan Niang unable to help but jump out.

Then he would slowly guide Aunt Cui to realize that something was wrong with them.

Unfortunately, he was leaving and didn't have time to deal with them slowly.

Hearing this, Leng Youran and Li Tianze looked at each other.

Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, he looked at Zhao Chongqing and said, "Then the reason why Yan Niang was arrested this time was because of Aunt Cui?"

Zhao Chongqing and Hua Zian nodded at the same time.

"Yes, it's Aunt Cui."

"Aunt Cui said that since she is the one that the people behind the scenes care about, then..." If they were caught, they would all be used as leverage.

Although Aunt Cui did not say the following words explicitly, they all understood what she meant.

Thinking of this, Chong'er said again: "Aunt Cui hopes that if possible, you can spare their lives. I... I agree."

Leng Youran and Li Tianze understood now.

In fact, it’s not that Aunt Cui really gave up this family relationship, but she was just using her own way to protect Yan Niang and the others.

She knew that even if Yan Niang was fine now, she would be affected when they and Qin Zhaohai fell out.

She offered to capture them, not only to make Chong'er feel guilty about her, but also to get a promise from him.

In her eyes, perhaps it was a good thing that her sister and nephew could survive.
