Chapter 696: Unexpected Visitor

Once she opened her mouth now, Liu Sisi was almost scared out of her wits!

Her voice used to be as crisp as a lark, but now when she opens her mouth, it is as if she is hitting a broken gong, making it difficult to hear her clearly.

“Prefecture Princess Luo, your…your voice?”

Unable to suppress her surprise, she hurriedly asked.

The light in Thirteenth Luo’s eyes darkened as she groped for the edge of the chair beside her, slowly sitting down.

Liu Sisi took a deep breath, waving her hand in front of Thirteenth Luo. There was still a smile on her face, but there was no focus in her eyes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her eyes…

Liu Sisi was surprised! What’s going on?

It was Nan Tianzong who spoke up from the side: “Two months ago, a large fire broke out in Prince Luo’s Mansion. The dry weather and fierce flames engulfed the courtyard where Thirteen lived. Thirteen was lucky to escape into the underground tunnel, but the fire was too intense. It damaged her eyes and throat… Doctors were helpless, so I thought of Old He’s excellent medical skills and brought her here, in the hope that her chronic illness could be cured…”

“Oh, I see!”

Liu Sisi nodded. These noble families were often victims of poisoning or eating something toxic.

Can’t be helped! It’s lonely at the top!

Thirteenth Luo laughed, stood up, and paid her respects to Liu Sisi: “Auntie Liu, I’m sorry to trouble you during these days.”

“You still remember me, Auntie Liu, I’m more than happy. How could I ever find it troublesome?”

Liu Sisi was truly happy.

Although Thirteenth Luo seemed arrogant at the beginning, she came to understand her many unavoidable difficulties as she got to know her. Especially the Lantern Festival incident last time, which completely changed her opinion of her.

She suddenly remembered Thirteenth Luo’s maid from before…

“By the way, where is your maid, Thirteen? Your sight is not good. Why isn’t she attending to you?” Liu Sisi’s eyes flashed.

Thirteenth Luo didn’t look comfortable: “This time leaving the capital, the Princess Consort showed pity for Thirteen’s sight problem and generously gave me her two major maids to look after me. I’m grateful for the Princess Consort’s kindness. When I arrived at the mansion, I instructed them to tidy up the gifts.”

The maids assigned to Thirteen by the Princess Consort Luo?

They destroyed Thirteen’s residence completely, then turned around and sent her own maids to take care of Thirteen. It seems Thirteen’s situation in the Luo mansion is quite difficult!

Liu Sisi walked over to her, held her hand and patted it twice: “It seems the Princess Consort Luo truly loves and cares for you, Thirteen. You can rest assured and stay at the mansion. It’s getting late, I will have someone bring Old He here tomorrow, to see how to cure your throat and eyes as soon as possible.”

“Thank you for your kindness, Aunt Liu.”

Thirteenth Luo quickly stood up, but Liu Sisi held her down.

“Don’t be up, your eyesight is not good. Oh! I remember the first time I saw you, I was floored by your voice. I didn’t expect…”

The more Liu Sisi spoke, the more sentimental she became. Such a charming voice has now become a cracked gong, it’s really…

The facial expression of Thirteenth Luo was also not good, but a faint smile still lingered on her face.

“Both of you, don’t be so pessimistic. Old He must have a way to cure Thirteen. Even if he can’t cure it completely, it’s easy to improve Thirteen’s condition.”

Nan Tianzong, who was by their side, could not stand it anymore and hurriedly interrupted their conversation.

“Yes, Brother Nan is right, we shouldn’t be too sorrowful.” Liu Sisi also quickly adjusted her mood.

Thirteenth Luo kept smiling, but she didn’t speak.

Nan Tianzong closed his folding fan in his hand and popped it up, knocking it on Liu Sisi’s forehead.

“What’s this ‘Brother Nan’? Just call me ‘big brother’. How long has it been and you still can’t shake off this bad habit.”

It was reasonable to call him ‘Brother Nan’ when she didn’t know that Nan Tianzong was her own biological brother. Now that she knew the truth, calling him this way seemed strange.

No wonder Nan Tianzong decided to knock her forehead.

“Big brother, hehe…”

Liu Sisi hastily called out, laughing foolishly in an attempt to sidestep the issue.

Nan Tianzong shook his head, and couldn’t bear to blame her too much, he couldn’t help but sigh: “You…”

It was not until this moment that Liu Sisi realized a serious problem.

“Wait, you never told me. What’s your real name?”

She had been calling him ‘Brother Nan’ all this time. In the past, Nan Tianzong never corrected her and she didn’t care. Now that Nan Tianzong has become Prince Gong, she ought to know his proper name.

Nan Tianzong had a look of stupor. He was dazed for a while as if he had remembered something, then he impatiently said: “I have not used that name for many years, I have already forgotten it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know.”

“How can that be possible? If someone else mentions your name and I tell them I don’t know. But then I find out it’s your name, won’t they laugh at me to death?” Liu Sisi insisted.

“My surname is Zhao, and my given name is Heng. As for him, his surname is also Zhao, and his given name is Dun, but he goes by Jiong.”

Zhao Heng? Zhao Dun and Zhao Jiong?

So Elder Leisure’s real name is Zhao Jiong. Only today did she find out her biological father’s name. Thinking about it, it was quite ridiculous. Still, Liu Sisi knew that it was normal for royalty in these years to have both a name and an alias.

“Zhao Heng? That means “horizontal” in translation. Why did you change it to Tianzong, which indicates vertical? Hehe…”

Liu Sisi deliberately teased him.

“Fine, you little scoundrel, you dare to mock me? Isn’t your name any better? Aren’t you called Zhao Yu too? Do you think your title, Prefecture Princess Yu, comes from nowhere?”

Liu Sisi was startled: “Zhao Yu? Who the hell named me that? Why is it so tasteless?”

It’s not hard to guess that Zhao Yu should be her real name. But compared with Zhao Yu and Liu Sisi, she still preferred the name Liu Sisi.

“Shush! This is a name given to you by the current Emperor. If you talk nonsense, are you courting death?”

Nan Tianzong again knocked his fan on Liu Sisi’s head.

Liu Sisi cried out in pain, “Ouch! Brother…”

The interaction between the two siblings made Thirteenth Luo, who was on the side, filled with envy. This was what real siblings were like!

Nan Tianzong turned his head as if he had discovered a new world: “Come, come, you all come and see! Is Chou Chou hungry? Is he eating his own hand!”

His excitement at the discovery made Liu Sisi couldn’t help but laugh.

“Well, babies usually have the habit of eating their hands. When you see him do it, just lightly hit his little hand.”

“Really? I’ll try.”

Nan Tianzong was exceptionally happy and patted the baby’s small buttocks twice.

Unexpectedly, instead of crying when patted on the buttocks, the little one stared straight at Nan Tianzong.
