The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Chapter 91 Taking the Child Back to Beijing

After hearing Ziqi's words, the two children who were originally smiling suddenly became quiet. Xinnan pouted her little mouth and said sullenly: "Sister, mother only has big sister in her heart now, she doesn't want us anymore."

Xin He could only put on a forced smile to comfort her brother: "No, mother must be thinking of us, but mother is too busy, she will not abandon us."

The little fat boy felt that the big sister that his mother was thinking about was not a good person at all, and young Master Xinnan felt that all the love of his parents had been taken away by this big sister.

Xin Nan was very unhappy: "Nan'er doesn't like big sister. Daddy and mommy don't like big sister and Nan'er anymore."

As he spoke, he puffed up his cheeks, looking both aggrieved and angry.

Xinhe also felt empty inside. She had been recuperating in the palace for such a long time. Although the Empress and Consort Shu had always cared for her, her mother came to the palace to see her less and less often.

Even when he came, he just sat in front of Xinhe's bed, staring at Xinhe blankly, as if trying to find the appearance of his other daughter through Xinhe.

But Xinhe couldn't express her unhappiness like her younger brother. As an older sister, she had to comfort her little brother.

Xin He squatted down and poked her brother's chubby cheek with her finger: "Our Nan'er is the kindest and best child. Nan'er, think carefully about our eldest sister who left her father and mother when she was young. She didn't grow up with her mother and father like us. Isn't she pitiful?"

Xin He thought to herself, "Nan'er, you don't know how pitiful a child is who leaves his parents, and how much pain he will suffer, but I know. Even if I have selfish motives, I don't want my parents to be sad, so I also hope that our sister can come back safely."

Xin He continued to comfort Nan Er: "We are so lucky to have so many people who love us, but big sister, you don't know how much hardship she has suffered. It's only natural for mother to miss her, isn't it?"

"When we go back, we must comfort mother and tell her not to worry. Big sister will definitely find us back. We must also love and care for big sister, okay? Promise big sister."

Xinhe stretched out her little finger towards Xinnan and said with a smile, "Come on, make a pinky promise to your sister!" Xinnan felt a little embarrassed by what her sister said.

He quickly stretched out his fat finger and made a pinky promise with his sister, nodding to her and assuring her: "Yes, Nan'er got it. We and big sister must love each other."

The Queen looked at the two children and turned to Concubine Shu and said, "There are always people in and outside the palace saying that I am partial to Xin'er. Listen to this child. He is kind-hearted and lovable!"

The Queen felt sorry for the sensible Xin He, and Concubine Shu shook her head again and again: "Wan Ran is really obsessed with that child! Fortunately, the two children are sensible."

At this time, a palace maid came in to report that Lord Qin had come to pick up the princess and the young master, and the queen signaled Lord Qin to come in.

Qin Mingxuan came in with his robe lifted. Seeing Xinhe and Xinnan with pleasant surprise, Qin Mingxuan had a guilty look on his face. He heard everything Xinhe and Xinnan said when he was waiting at the entrance of the palace.

After Shen Tuo's rebellion, there were many trivial matters that needed to be dealt with. During this period, he and Yu Huaian were very busy.

While his daughter was recuperating in the palace, he only visited her occasionally when he went to the palace to report matters to the emperor. He repeatedly told his wife to visit his daughter often and to bring her home as soon as she had recovered.

Qin Mingxuan also knew that his wife had been in a bad mood for some time, and was always thinking about her eldest daughter. He repeatedly promised her that he would do his best to find his daughter.

However, his promise could not soothe Ji Wanran's anxious heart. He even neglected to take care of Xinhe and Xinnan, leaving everything to the Queen.

Qin Mingxuan felt very uncomfortable when he was standing outside and heard the conversation between his daughter and son. On the one hand, he was relieved that his daughter and son were sensible and kind, but on the other hand, he felt guilty for himself and his wife's neglect of the children.

The queen looked at Qin Mingxuan's expression and knew that he must have heard what the children said.

How could the Queen not see that Ji Wanran neglected Xinhe and Xinnan? Fatty said that he wanted to accompany his sister, but in fact, his mother at home neglected to take care of him, so he came to the palace to seek warmth.

Thinking about Ji Wanran who has not appeared yet, the Queen Mother is still a little dissatisfied. The two children are sensible, but the Queen Mother still has to speak for them.

The Queen asked a few questions about finding the child, and finally got to the point: "Master Qin, although finding the child is an important matter, as parents we cannot neglect one thing while focusing on the other, right?"

The Queen pointed at the two children and said, "These two children got ready this morning but have been waiting until now. I feel a little distressed when I see their expectant eyes."

Qin Mingxuan knew that the Queen was speaking up for the two children. Ji Wanran was indeed wrong in this matter. The Queen loved Xinhe so how could she bear to let Xinhe suffer any injustice.

Qin Mingxuan could only apologize repeatedly and ask the queen for forgiveness. The queen just looked at Xinhe and Xinnan. Qin Mingxuan stepped forward and squatted in front of the two children, gently stroking Xinnan's head.

"Nannan, Naner, Daddy is here to pick you up. Daddy is late, I'm sorry." Xinnan sniffed and hugged Daddy's neck: "Daddy, Naner thought you and mother had forgotten Naner and sister!"

Qin Mingxuan looked at Xin He, whose eyes were full of admiration. She smiled and said to her father, "Daddy, look, the Queen has made Xin Er fat!"

Seeing that the Queen looked unhappy, Lord Qin also looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Not fat, not fat, Xinhe is the most beautiful like this."

After all, Lord Qin is the emperor's confidant, and Concubine Shu does not want Lord Qin to lose face in the palace, so as to avoid being criticized by the queen.

The Queen also knew that Concubine Shu was trying to save face for herself. Seeing Xin He and Xin Nan's happy faces, she sighed and said, "It's better for children to be fatter. Look how cute Nan'er is! Xin'er has lost weight."

When Xin Nan heard the Queen praising him, he proudly puffed out his belly, looking very pleased with himself. Everyone in the room couldn't help laughing at his bulging belly that he couldn't hide.

The Queen reluctantly gave a few more instructions before letting Qin Mingxuan take the two children out of the palace.

Qin Mingxuan had just entered the gate of the Qin Mansion with his child when he saw Ji Wanran rushing over like a gust of wind. She grabbed Qin Mingxuan's sleeve and said with a surprised and happy expression, "Husband, Lord Yu just sent someone to deliver a letter saying that Lord Yu's secret guards have found our daughter in Yunzhou."

Qin Mingxuan was also happy to hear the news, and then he saw that his wife was still talking to him nonstop as if she didn't see the two children.

He had no choice but to gently shake Ji Wanran's hand and remind her: "Madam, Nannan and Nan'er are back." Ji Wanran then woke up as if from a dream and looked at the two children beside her.

Xin He still smiled at Ji Wan Ran and called her "Mom" sweetly. The little fat boy was still a little angry and pouted: "Mom, don't you want Nan'er? Nan'er and sister have been waiting for you in the palace for a long time."

Ji Wanran was smiling happily, but after hearing what her son said, she realized that she had gone too far by forgetting her daughter and son in the palace today.

She smiled awkwardly and quickly apologized to the two children: "I'm sorry, mother was just waiting for news from your sister today. Mother apologizes to you. Can you forgive mother this time?"

After his mother apologized, young Master Xinnan felt a little embarrassed. He looked at his sister, and his sister smiled, touched his big head and smiled at him.

Xin Nan remembered what her sister had just said, and quickly said to her mother: "Forget it, forget it. Nan'er is a good child and is no longer angry with her mother."

Xin He looked at the happy faces of her mother and father, and suddenly felt a little uneasy. Finally, this day had come, her sister had been found, and she would be back soon.

Xin He couldn't help but shudder when she thought of Madam Yu in her previous life. Ji Wanran was still talking to her husband, urging him to send someone to help.

Qin Mingxuan noticed his daughter's expression and quickly touched Xinhe's head: "Nannan, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Ji Wanran then remembered that her daughter had just returned home after recovering from an injury, and quickly bent down to look at Xinhe's face: "Nannan, what's wrong? Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Come into the house quickly and don't catch a cold again."

Xin He looked at the concerned eyes of her father and mother, and her heart finally settled down. These were her father and mother, they loved her, and that was enough.

Thinking of this, Xin He smiled and shook her head: "Xin Er is fine, Daddy and Mommy don't worry about Xin Er."

She looked at Qin Mingxuan: "Dad, please contact Uncle Yu quickly to see when my sister can come back!"

Qin Mingxuan looked at his daughter's expression carefully, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with her, he felt relieved. He smiled and picked up Nan'er, holding his daughter's hand, and the family of four walked in happily.

After settling his wife and children, Qin Mingxuan immediately rushed to Yu Huaian's house to inquire about his daughter's information. As soon as Qin Mingxuan entered the house, Yu Huaian and Yu Shen came to greet him.

Yu Huaian also had a look of joy on his face. He patted Qin Mingxuan on the shoulder and laughed, "Hahahaha, congratulations, brother. Congratulations, brother. We have finally found our daughter."

Although Qin Mingxuan was happy, he still asked Yu Huaian with doubt: "Brother Huaian, where did you find the child? I always feel that this is too fast."

Yu Huaian smiled and said, "It's too soon. If we can't find the child, I think my sister-in-law will go crazy." Yu Huaian pulled Qin Mingxuan into the main hall and sat down. Yu Shen went forward to serve tea to his father and master, and sat aside.

Yu Huaian continued to talk about the search: "That cousin in your house is really damnable. She actually did such a conscienceless thing."

"If it weren't for Madam Shen in the palace giving us such important information, it would be really hard for us to find him in such a huge crowd. Fortunately, we know he is in Yunnan and Guizhou, which makes it easier."

Yu Huaian paused to take a sip of water and continued, "Except for the secret guards working in the capital, I have almost sent out all the other secret guards. And we also have our own people in Yunnan and Guizhou."

"I asked the secret guards to bring the portraits of Su Peiyun and your Xinhe. I heard the news that the little girl they found looked very similar to your Xinhe, and there was a woman taking care of her."

"The woman recognized Su Peiyun. She used to be a servant in Su Peiyun's family. Su Peiyun later suddenly handed her a baby and told her to take the baby to Yunzhou to settle down. Su Peiyun, the bad woman, often went to Yunzhou to see her and the child, and often brought them some clothes and money."

"Later, there was no news about Su Peiyun. It should be after Su Peiyun was burned to death. The woman and the child also developed feelings for each other. After losing Su Peiyun's money, she was kind and righteous. She relied on working for others to support herself and the child, and she is still alive today."

"Our people were investigating in Yunzhou when they accidentally found the woman and the child in the market. Because they looked similar, the secret guards followed them and secretly investigated for a few days. They also carefully questioned the woman. Only when they were somewhat confident did they send a message to the capital."

After Yu Huaian finished speaking, he looked at Qin Mingxuan who had been listening to him carefully. "Anyway, from what I heard from the news, it's almost certain that it's your daughter. As for what to do specifically, I still have to listen to you."

Qin Mingxuan looked at Yu Huaian: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Huaian!" Yu Huaian waved his hand and said with a smile: "You and I are like brothers. Your business is my business. For the sake of my niece, I have to worry about it!"

Although Yu Huaian didn't mind, Qin Mingxuan still stood up and bowed to Yu Huaian respectfully to thank him. After sitting down again, Qin Mingxuan said to Yu Huaian: "Don't make a hasty decision on this matter. Brother Huaian, please send a message to the secret guards to take the child and the woman back to the capital and settle them down first. Wait for my confirmation before making a decision."

After that, Qin Mingxuan bowed to Yu Huaian and said, "I should have gone there in person, but there are many things going on in the capital these days, and neither you nor I can leave. I have to trouble Brother Huaian to pass the message to the secret guards."

Yu Huaian was not surprised by Qin Mingxuan's cautious attitude. After all, bloodline-related matters should not be taken lightly. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay. I will send a message to An Shiqi and ask him to bring people to protect the two of them as they return to Beijing."

After the discussion, Qin Mingxuan returned home and told his wife that he had sent someone to pick her up, and asked Ji Wanran to be patient and wait at home.

When Ji Wanran heard that her daughter was going to be taken home, she was almost ecstatic and immediately busied herself with preparing a place for her daughter to live.

Xinhe watched her mother busying herself with Liu Niang all day long to prepare various things, decorate their living quarters, and go shopping for clothes, but her heart was very calm.

What is to come will come. Even though my sister in the previous life wanted to do that to me, that was in the previous life after all.

Everything is different in this life. I was not kidnapped, nor did I escape the conspiracy during the Lantern Festival. I grew up safely and enjoyed the love and care of my father and mother over the years.

In this life, I grew up with Brother Shen, studied and practiced martial arts together, and entered the palace. I was loved by the Queen and the Emperor, and I also met several princes and became good friends with them.

All of this was something that I would never have dared to think of in my previous life. With all of this, Xin He was already very satisfied. In this new life, her sister is no longer the Madam Yu in her previous life. She should also be a brand new sister.

Thinking of this, Xinhe gradually began to look forward to the coming of her sister.
