The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Chapter 16: The 1st Incense Stick's Background is Clear

Ji Wanran and Qin Mingxuan immediately looked at Zhang Gan. Zhang Gan had a guilty and sad expression on his face. "My Lord, Madam, I chased in the direction where Nanny Liu and the young lady had separated. I chased them all the way to the river, but there was no trace of them. I heard... I heard that there were a lot of people crowded by the river, and several people fell into the river and could not be found. I am incompetent, please punish me, my Lord."

Ji Wanran screamed miserably, "My child!" She could no longer hold on, and fainted in Qin Mingxuan's arms. Qin Mingxuan held his wife, suppressed his grief, and ordered his men, "Go get the Qin Mansion's nameplate and ask the Military Command to send more people. Search along the river bank and in the water. If she's alive, we must find her. If she's dead, we must find her...corpse."

After that, Qin Mingxuan carried his wife into the carriage and ordered them to go back to the mansion as soon as possible to ask the doctor to treat his wife. Thirteen was heartbroken when he saw his father and mother suffer such a heavy blow. Su Peiyun was really cruel and made his mother suffer again and again.

She wanted to go back with the carriage and look after her mother, who must be so heartbroken to have lost both children. There was no greater blow to a mother than this.

Just as she was about to get into the carriage, she was hit by another strong force, exactly the same feeling as when she was at the door of her mother's delivery room. Thirteen knew that her soul was beginning to drift away again. Where would it go this time?

"Mom, mom, why are you sending your daughter away? I can't bear to leave you." Thirteen was worrying about his mother when he suddenly heard a girl's voice calling mother.

She suddenly opened her eyes and found herself floating above a small courtyard. This was an ordinary courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but it was clean. There was a tall osmanthus tree on the east side of the courtyard.

Thirteen stopped at a branch of osmanthus and looked towards the middle of the yard. A woman was sitting beside a stone table, holding a little girl of seven or eight in her arms. The voice just now was what the little girl said.

Thirteen felt that the little girl looked familiar, so she floated down gently and sat next to the stone table, looking at the little girl carefully.

Round black eyes, a red mouth, a round face, and a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows. Those eyebrows are so familiar, just like...

Thirteen suddenly stood up in shock. The little girl looked just like Ji Wanran, just like himself when he grew up. Thirteen was sure that this was not him, because according to what Yu Shen's secret guards had found out last time, he had been living a hard life with his nanny in that mountain village since he was three years old.

Although this small courtyard is not big, it can be seen that it is still very wealthy. The tea sets and cakes on the stone table can be seen to be very exquisite.

The little girl was still acting like a spoiled child: "Mom, I don't want to leave you." She kept shaking the woman's arm, "Mom, why are you sending me away?"

The woman touched the little girl's face and persuaded her patiently: "Listen to your mother, you are not her child." The little girl was so shocked that she stood up straight and stared at the woman blankly.

Thirteen finally saw the woman's face at this time. As expected, it was really her. That vicious and bad woman, Su Peiyun.

Thirteen looked at the woman in front of him, gritting his teeth in hatred. It was this woman, the woman who played with the fate of her two sisters.

Compared with the last time I saw Su Peiyun in the small mountain village, there was no sign of seven or eight years leaving any traces on her face. She was still young, beautiful and radiant.

But if you look closely at her eyes, you can still see the calculation and cruelty. She looked at the little girl and seemed gentle and considerate, with tenderness on her face. But when the little girl couldn't see her, her eyes revealed disgust and impatience.

This child should be her mother's first child that she secretly brought with her. She has been raising him for eight years, but she still hates him so much, which shows that she doesn't really care about this child. Because this is Ji Wanran's child, this child is just a tool for revenge and calculation.

Su Peiyun put away the disgust in her eyes and pretended to be regretful and said: "Qingyan, listen to mother. Mother is reluctant to let you go. But mother has no choice!"

It turns out that Su Peiyun named the stolen child Qingyan, and this Qingyan was Qin Xinhe in the future.

Su Peiyun said: "Your mother was pregnant with twins, but a master calculated that the eldest twin was a nemesis, who would bring bad luck to both parents and the whole family. Your father and mother had no choice but to abandon you for the sake of the family's safety, saying that you were born prematurely and died at birth."

"But mother saw that you were going to be abandoned right after you were born, and she felt sorry for you, so she bribed the doctor to rescue you. Mother said you were her daughter and had been raising you by her side, but she was afraid that they would find out about you and continue to harm you, so she didn't dare to make it public. For many years, she didn't dare to stay by your side, and could only hide you here."

"But mother feels sorry for you. She is also your mother's daughter, but why can that child enjoy all the glory and wealth while you can only hide and dare not see anyone."

Su Peiyun stirred up the resentment and anger in the child's heart with just a few words. She saw that Qingyan's eyes were full of admiration for her biological parents just now, but in the blink of an eye, her face was full of indignation.

Su Peiyun saw that her goal had been achieved, and chuckled proudly: "Fortunately, God has a good vision. A few years ago, the child was lost in an accident during the Lantern Festival. Your parents have been looking for her all these years. A few days ago, news came that the child was found in a small mountain village."

Qingyan interrupted anxiously and asked, "Have you found it?" Su Peiyun touched Xinhe's little face and smiled proudly, "That's fake news. There is no trace of the child. It's all fake news that mother thought of and spread. Mother wants you to pretend to be that child and go back to your real parents. Mother wants to take back everything you deserve for you."

Thirteen was shaking with anger as she listened to Su Peiyun's distortion of right and wrong and misleading the child. Now she finally understood why Madam Xinhe was so vicious after her death in her previous life, and what good could she learn from following such a vicious woman.

Sure enough, when Qingyan heard that Su Peiyun was going to send her back to enjoy wealth and glory, the sadness and reluctance she had just felt immediately disappeared without a trace.

She hesitated, "Will they find out that I'm not that child? Once they find out that I'm the disaster star, will they still want to kill me?"

Su Peiyun smiled and said, "How could that be? The child has been missing for five years. Now that the lost child has been found, they will definitely treasure him like a treasure. How could they still doubt you? Don't worry, mother has arranged everything."

At this time, Su Peiyun looked at Xinhe deliberately hesitantly: "Mother is just afraid that once Qingyan returns to your biological parents, your biological parents will love you like a treasure and will forget mother. But mother can't bear to see you suffer with mother. Mother wants you to be rich all your life." After saying that, she pretended to cry and used a handkerchief to wipe away the non-existent tears.

Qingyan immediately threw herself into Su Peiyun's arms and assured her firmly: "They despised me as a disaster star and abandoned me, not caring whether I lived or died. They treated me well only because they regarded me as their sister. I was the child rescued by my mother. I hate them, and I will only listen to my mother."

Thirteen's eyes were about to burst into anger as he watched from the side. The child that Su Peiyun sent back would only be close to Su Peiyun and obey her every move. Her mother and father would be so happy to see their lost daughter back, but this daughter had been drugged and regarded her own parents as enemies. This move was too cruel.

Seeing that she had successfully brainwashed the child, Su Peiyun immediately ordered a maid to take Xinhe downstairs to rest. She touched Qingyan's little face and said, "Go, Qingyan, wait until mother has arranged everything, and then you can wait for your mother and father to pick you up and take you back home. Mother will visit you often in Beijing, so remember to call mother your cousin aunt when you see her in the future."

Although his face seemed full of love, Qingyan could not see the viciousness and pride behind the loving expression. Qingyan walked into the room with a yearning for a rich and prosperous life in the future and resentment towards her biological parents.

Su Peiyun looked at Qingyan walking into the room, and immediately put away the smile on her face and clapped her hands gently. A man walked into the yard, saluted Su Peiyun and handed her a small gold lock.

Thirteen realized that this was the small golden locket hanging on Xinhe's neck at the Lantern Festival. Xinhe and Liu Niang were killed at the Lantern Festival, so this small golden locket should have been with Xinhe all the time.

Now that the small golden lock appeared in Su Peiyun's hand, she remembered what she heard from Yu Shen about the bandits found by the secret guards. This meant that Xinhe and Liu Niang, who were far away in the remote mountain village, had been killed.

Su Peiyun took the golden lock and examined it carefully: "Did the villagers take care of it?" Zhang Gan nodded: "Yes, I hired a few bandits who specialize in this business to snatch the girl away and sell her to the lowest-class brothel in the west."

Zhang Gan hesitated for a moment: "I heard that Nanny Liu died to protect the little girl." Su Peiyun chuckled nonchalantly: "She overestimated her own abilities. She has lived a few more years. She survived the fall into the river and raised that little bastard."

Her sinister words made people shudder: "If she had remained muddle-headed, I would have just let them live out their lives in that small mountain village. It's not a good life anyway, so just let them suffer."

"Who knew she would gradually regain some fragmentary memories, and even took the little bastard's gold lock to the city to inquire about the matter. Now her whereabouts were exposed, and the people in the Qin Mansion also found out about it. Then I can't tolerate her anymore."

"I can take this opportunity to let Qingyan return to the Qin Mansion. I want Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran to enjoy the ecstasy of having their daughter back before they realize the heart-wrenching pain of having their daughter separated from them."

Zhang Gan hesitated: "Miss Qingyan is still young after all. Will she reveal our secrets after she returns home?" Su Peiyun affirmed: "No, I have raised her for many years and I know her well. I will place one of our own people around her later. You should also keep a close eye on her whereabouts in the mansion. If there is any unusual movement, notify me in time."

She suddenly remembered something and said angrily, "Humph, they thought everything would be fine if they married me off. Why should I have to serve that crazy prince when they are so loving to each other?"

"I am still the cousin of the Qin family. Based on the last words given by old master Qin, they must always be respectful to me. What's more, I have the support of the prince behind me."

"I, your cousin, will visit Miss Xinhe often in the future. I will teach her to respect her parents." Su Peiyun handed the golden lock to Zhang Gan and continued to instruct: "Take the golden lock and report to Qin Mingxuan, and tell him that you have found the young lady."

“Tell Qin Mingxuan that Liu Niang fell into the water and lost her memory. She was rescued by a “kind-hearted person”, and this “kind-hearted person” was arranged as our own. Let the “kind-hearted person” tell the Qin Mansion that Liu Niang later died of her injuries, and it was this “kind-hearted person” who raised the young lady. She had no place to live, so she sold gold locks, and then she was found by your people who were looking for the young lady. The Qin Mansion will definitely be very grateful to that “kind-hearted person”, and by the way, we will take this opportunity to place our own people in the Qin Mansion.”

"They have never believed that their daughter is dead, and have never given up looking for her over the years. They should have suffered enough from the five years of separation, so now they should experience a different kind of pain! I certainly can't let them down." After saying this, Su Peiyun laughed triumphantly.

Thirteen was watching Su Peiyun's crazy appearance from the side. If he had a knife in his hand at this moment, he would go up and stab her without hesitation.

It was this vicious woman who had directed my miserable fate in my previous life. She had caused me to leave home at a young age and wander around with my nanny. She had forced my nanny to death and I was almost sold into a brothel. All my suffering in my previous life was caused by this vicious crazy woman.

Not only did she harm herself, she also stole her sister away from her mother, and brought her up to be vicious and ignorant, foolishly manipulated by her. Even after her death, she still refused to let her own sister kill her. How could there be such a vicious woman in the world?

Seeing that her hatred for my father and mother has only increased over the years, I thought of the imperial concubine and the prince behind her. Such a scheming and ruthless woman, with a backer, must have been involved in the murder of my father, mother and Uncle Yu.

After lighting the first stick of incense, his soul traveled through his past lives several times. At this moment, Thirteen finally knew that he was not a nameless Thirteen, but the real Qin Xinhe. He had a father and a mother, and they loved him so much.

Thirteen finally understood her life story, and thinking of her parents, she wanted to return to them even more urgently. After she knew her life story, she must stay by her parents' side and protect herself from being harmed by this woman again.

She also needs to find out who is the backer behind Su Peiyun and protect her father and Uncle Yu from being harmed by villains.

Thirteen thought that he could finally truly become Qin Xinhe. Two lines of tears rolled down his face, and he murmured, "Daddy, Mommy, wait for me. I am the real Xinhe. I am back."

As she spoke, Thirteen felt herself floating in the air again. A puff of smoke dissipated, and Thirteen opened her eyes. She found herself back on Xinhe's small bed in the Qin Mansion. She sat up, lifted the curtain, and saw that the first stick of incense had just burned out, with a wisp of green smoke curling away.

Thirteen secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I came back just in time, and this first stick of incense has helped me finally find out about my life experience."

She looked at her chubby hands, and then touched her chubby face, and couldn't help but feel happy. Yes, it's me, I'm no longer the nameless Thirteen, I'm my parents' baby, I'm the real Qin Xinhe.
