241 Coincidence
The Empress Dowager quickly waved her hand. âNothing. I was just curious. Yuan Hui came to ask me about the position of county deputy just now.â
Xin Xin nodded. âI see. Mother, itâs late. Rest early.â
âAlright, alright, alright. Iâll go and rest now. Sigh, Iâm old. You donât want me to go anywhere,â the empress dowager muttered as she returned to her room.
Xin Xin stood rooted to the ground speechlessly. Was it appropriate for the Empress Dowager to say such things? She was just concerned about the Empress Dowager. How was that disdain?
!!
That night, be it Madam He, Ning Yue, or the Liu family, it was an exciting night.
They had acknowledged each other. They were originally family, and now they were even closer.
Ning Yue was in shock all night. The world was really that small. As she did not sleep the entire night, she went out the next day with dark circles under her eyes.
âYueyue, whatâs wrong? Didnât you sleep well last night?â Jiang Ying asked with heartache.
Ning Yue looked at Jiang Ying and suddenly thought of something. She asked him, âDid you already know that my mother was also from the Liu family?â
âNo, I really donât know. I swear!â Jiang Ying quickly waved his hand.
He really did not know that Ning Yue had such a deep relationship with the Liu family. He only knew that Ning Yueâs mother, who had passed away early, was the daughter of the Liu family, but he did not know that Madam He was also from the Liu family.
No, she shouldnât be called Madam He now. She should be Madam Liu now.
âThis world is so small. My biological mother gave birth to me, and my adoptive mother should actually be someone I call Aunt. Oh my god!â The more Ning Yue thought about it, the more she felt that this world was a fantasy.
âIsnât this good?â Jiang Ying asked.
âItâs quite good. Iâm just more shocked,â Ning Yue said.
When Jiang Ying heard this, he couldnât help but reach out and stroke Ning Yueâs hair. âWhatâs there to be shocked about?â
âJiang Ying, thank you. Thank you for the surprise,â Ning Yue said.
Jiang Yingâs gift to Old Master Ning could no longer be described as precious. He gave her a chance to acknowledge her family!
They would not be bullied in the entire Laifu Village, Laifu Town, and even the entire fief of Prince Jin.
âWeâre family. Donât say such unfamiliar things,â Jiang Ying said.
Ning Yue was about to say something when Yuan Hui appeared. âYueyue, I have something to tell you.â
When Jiang Ying saw that it was Yuan Hui, he hurriedly shielded Ning Yue behind him. âWhy are you looking for Ning Yue?â
âOf course I have something to discuss. Please excuse us, Prince Jiang,â Yuan Hui said.
Hearing Yuan Hui asking for alone time with her, Jiang Ying was unhappy. âWhatâs so shameful about it? Why do you want me to leave?â
Ning Yue comforted Jiang Ying in amusement and whispered in his ear, âAlright, itâs the same if I tell you later. Go back and wait for me.â
Jiang Ying did not hear what Ning Yue said at all. He felt a wave of heat in his ear.
âGo on, go back first,â Ning Yue said.
Jiang Ying nodded stiffly and walked back mechanically. He only came back to his senses after a long walk. He stroked his ears and grinned.
Ning Yue watched Jiang Ying walk away before asking Yuan Hui, âUncle Yuan, why are you looking for me?â
âYour biological mother is from Luzhou.â Yuan Huiâs tone was very certain.
âYes, my biological mother is from Luzhou. Why are you suddenly talking about this?â Ning Yue looked at Yuan Hui in confusion.
Yuan Hui sighed. âI told you that my little sister was adopted by County Governor Liu.â
Ning Yue nodded. âYes, you once said that youâve found County Deputy Liu? Or do you need my uncleâs help?â
When Yuan Hui investigated his little sisterâs whereabouts, the clues were cut off in Luzhou. Although the Liu family was gone, her grandfather used to be the County Deputy of Luzhou. He was clear on this.
Waitâ¦
County Deputy Liu?
Ning Yueâs eyes widened. The County Deputy Yuan Hui was talking about was her grandfather?
âUncle Yuan, is that what I think?â Ning Yue asked with a trembling voice.
This world was really too small! She didnât know how many times she had sighed like this.
âYes, thatâs right. County Deputy Liu, who adopted my little sister back then, is your grandfather.â As he spoke, Yuan Hui took out a letter.
This was the result of the investigation by the guards he had sent yesterday.
Ning Yue took the letter and opened it. The time of Liu Yunâs disappearance and the time of County Chief Liuâs adoption were clearly written in it.
It recorded when she got married, had children, and died. Liu Yunâs life was written in the letter.
