Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling
Chapter 87 The Scholar vs. the Substitute Bride (21)
What is the current situation in the capital?
Liang Siqi lowered his head and said, "It's complicated. My maternal grandfather passed away, you disappeared, the Shen family army was in chaos, and my stepmother took over your marriage and sent Shen Yunyi to Prince Yu's mansion as a concubine."
"The Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince's power are gradually expanding, and they also have a close relationship with Prince Yu. Prince Yu is the Emperor's sworn brother, and the Emperor trusts him greatly, but Prince Yu is ambitious and has ill intentions..."
After regaining his memories, Shen Yunzhao was not surprised by this scene. His younger sister was in love with Prince Yu, so she would definitely try every means to enter Prince Yu's mansion. He was unwilling to be a concubine and had no obsession with this matter. The main thing was that Shen Yunyi had to die.
The situation in the capital is complicated. What He Xiucai means is that he knows these things because he and his husband share the same secret. No matter what the secret is, He Xiucai will never let Lin Nan be in danger. So it is highly likely that He Xiucai had a plan all along, including his recovery of his memories.
“I will go back to fulfill my grandfather’s last wishes, including revenge,” Shen Yunzhao said.
Liang Siqi was somewhat surprised. Her cousin, who used to be hesitant and timid in making any decisions, had become unusually resolute.
Liang Siqi seemed to see her maternal grandfather from back then.
"You've really changed a lot. This path is difficult; are you really sure about it?"
As a young man going to the battlefield, he not only faces a powerful enemy army, but also subordinates who have doubts about him.
"Just because it's difficult doesn't mean we should do it?" Shen Yunzhao retorted.
Liang Siqi nodded and smiled, "Yes, it has to be done, even if it's difficult."
Shen Yunzhao suddenly asked, "How is Seventh Prince doing these days?"
Liang Siqi was taken aback when he asked about Xiao Qi. He paused for a moment and said, "Xiao Qi is still pampered by Father and Mother, just like before. Even though he's married, he's still like a child. Why are you suddenly asking about Xiao Qi? Do you miss him?"
"It's nothing," Shen Yunzhao shook his head.
Liang Siqi and Shen Yunzhao chatted on and off for a while longer before deciding to leave, since her cousin was already married.
Just before leaving, Shen Yunzhao suddenly spoke.
"Cousin, go and meet He Xiucai's husband, Lin Nan. You'll want to meet him."
After saying that, he instructed the lamb to see the guest out.
"Young Master, are you going back?" De'an, the eunuch beside Liang Siqi, cautiously stepped forward and asked when he saw his master come out.
Liang Siqi nodded and returned to his residence, instructing his guards to investigate He Xiucai's husband, Lin Nan.
Two days later, Liang Siqi, holding the results of the secret guards' investigation, stared intently at the fact that "his mother, Zhao, was originally a first-class maidservant by the Empress's side in the palace."
Apart from that, the two pieces of paper mostly describe the suffering this young man endured, with only the last part stating, "After being married off in place of another, He Xiucai carefully raised him and he is now the president of the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce."
This made Liang Siqi even more curious about her husband, and she kept pondering her cousin Shen Yunzhao's words.
Sheng Yuan and Lin Nan returned to the mansion half a month later, and after washing away their fatigue, the two embraced and fell asleep.
After receiving the news, Liang Siqi arrived at the He residence the next morning.
When he arrived, Sheng Yuan had already gone to the academy, but Lin Nan was still asleep.
When the steward saw the person arrive, he invited him to the front hall and sent someone to inform the master.
"You must be tired from yesterday's journey and haven't had a proper rest yet, young master. Please wait a moment," the steward said, serving tea and refreshments.
They wouldn't dare wake their lord unless they wanted to die.
Liang Siqi was somewhat surprised by their answer, but she didn't say anything.
"These people are truly rude, making the young master wait here for others to get up!" De'an said angrily.
Liang Siqi frowned and said, "De'an! This is the He residence. It is impolite of me to visit without an invitation. You must not make trouble!"
"Yes, son."
After Liang Siqi waited for half an hour, Lin Nan finally woke up.
Lin Nan, who had just woken up, was a little dazed and sat there blankly. Nuonuo saw that the adults had woken up on the monitor, so she went in to help them wash up.
"My lord, the county magistrate's student, Young Master Congqing, has come to visit. Since you are still asleep, Young Master Congqing has been waiting in the front hall for half an hour."
"What? Why didn't you wake me up?" Lin Nan instantly woke up and asked.
"The patriarch instructed before he left that anyone who wakes the master will be punished with a beating and fined their monthly allowance," Nuonuo said.
Of course, Nuonuo isn't afraid of these things. The main reason is that all his points belong to the host. If he doesn't listen, he'll really go broke!
"Nonsense! Next time someone comes, wake me up, or people will laugh at me for having no manners."
"Yes."
Nuonuo has already recorded this sentence, and she can use it to refute the host later.
I'm so smart!
Liang Siqi waited for a while longer, and just as she was getting a little impatient, Lin Nan arrived.
Liang Siqi looked up and saw a young man wearing a light purple brocade robe embroidered with auspicious clouds.
She looks very similar to me, and has a bright red mole at the corner of her eye.
My feelings are somewhat complicated.
"Lin Nan greets Young Master Cong Qing." Lin Nan bowed.
Liang Siqi noticed the red butterfly birthmark on the back of his hand.
The Empress Dowager also has this birthmark on the back of her hand.
Xiaoqi doesn't have one, but since I don't have one either, I've always thought it's normal.
Lin Nan found him strange from the moment he saw him, and it wasn't just his appearance.
Even though it was the first time we met, I inexplicably felt a desire to get closer to them.
Seeing him staring blankly at the birthmark on the back of his hand, Lin Nan couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen this before?"
Ah Zhao has seen it, but has he seen it too?
And they look so much like me, could they be my relatives?
"Hmm..." Liang Siqi nodded in response, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart.
Liang Siqi thought he would ask more questions about the birthmark, but Lin Nan did not, and instead asked him to sit down.
"Young Master Congqing, my husband went to the academy today. May I ask what brings him to this residence?"
"Shen Yunzhao asked me to come and see you." Liang Siqi did not hide anything.
Lin Nan paused, holding his teacup, and asked, "Does Young Master Qing know Mr. Gu?"
“Yun Zhao is my cousin, and his memory has been restored.”
Lin Nan didn't know whether he should trust him, but his intuition told him that this person could be trusted.
"That's truly cause for celebration!" Lin Nan ultimately chose not to act rashly.
Seeing that he was still wary of her, Liang Siqi felt a pang of sadness for some reason, but still said, "I heard that Mr. He and Scholar He have been betrothed since childhood?"
"Not really," Lin Nan said ambiguously.
"Are He Fulang's parents his biological parents?"
Why do you ask that, young master?
"It's nothing. It's just that after learning some things, I felt that biological parents wouldn't treat their own children like this."
"The world is vast and full of wonders. They just hate me," Lin Nan sighed.
Because they hate me, they wish for my suffering.
"That's really strange. How could parents hate their own children so much?"
Lin Nan looked at him, smiled, and said, "Who knows? Maybe seeing me suffer will make them happy."
He spoke calmly, but Liang Siqi felt extremely distressed.
He had thoroughly investigated the matter over the past two weeks, so before coming here today, he was basically certain that this was his younger brother.
The moment he saw him, he was certain that this was his younger brother.
"Has He Fulang never doubted his identity?"
"What's the point of having doubts? What's the point of not having doubts?"
"Perhaps your biological parents love you very much?" Liang Siqi asked tentatively.
"As the young master said, it's just a possibility," Lin Nan said with a wry smile.
