Yi Xin as a concubine

Chapter 184 They are all relatives

After some investigation, Chu Xingchen's people indeed found some clues.

The Fourth Prince's confidentiality work was not very perfect, but no one had paid attention to him, which made it convenient for him to hide behind the scenes and stir up trouble.

It is just April now and the weather is getting warmer, but there are still some cold snaps. Apart from being dragged out for a walk every day, Xin Baoer really doesn't like to go out. The reason is simple: she just doesn't want to change clothes all the time.

I was dragged out by Chu Xingchen today. I was confused the whole time as he put a thick cloak and a long hood on me and I was forced to walk through the secret passage unwillingly.

"What are we going to do?" Xin Baoer said with a lack of interest, with her head hung down and being pulled by Chu Xingchen.

"I'll take you to meet someone. I guarantee you'll be happy when you meet her." Chu Xingchen deliberately kept the secret.

"So mysterious." Xin Baoer muttered.

The exit of the secret passage is blocked by rockery, so most people won't come here. Moreover, this place is designated as the territory of Heqi Tower, so normally no one dares to come here.

So when they came out and saw a smiling woman standing at the entrance of the secret passage, Xin Baoer almost screamed.

"You're still so timid. You haven't made any progress at all." The woman said with disgust.

A strange face, a familiar voice. Xin Baoer didn't react for a moment and stared blankly at the woman's face.

"What's that expression? Surprise or shock?" The woman approached Xin Baoer's face and teased.

Xin Baoer had already reacted by now. Seeing her coming closer, a cunning look flashed in her eyes, and her little hand quickly grabbed her face.

The woman was very good at kung fu, and her reaction was naturally fast. With a spin, she was already two meters away.

"It seems that this is not her true appearance." Xin Baoer sighed in disappointment and said dissatisfiedly.

"You are too curious. Just be glad that my voice is real. Other people sitting opposite me couldn't recognize me." The woman said proudly.

"Don't stand here, talk inside." Chu Xingchen saw that the two people were chatting enthusiastically and completely forgot about the existence of him as the middleman, so he couldn't help but remind them.

"Come on, I'll introduce someone to you," the woman continued.

"They are both so mysterious." Xin Baoer raised her eyebrows and muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Xiaobao'er has a good life now. You've learned to throw tantrums now." The woman stretched out her hand and pinched her tender little face. "Why don't you remove this scar? Although it doesn't affect your beauty, it's a bit of an eyesore."

As he said this, he couldn't help but "tsk tsk" twice, as if it was a great pity.

Before Xin Baoer did anything, Chu Xingchen felt so jealous that he fake coughed to remind the two of his presence.

"Tsk, so stingy." The woman had already reached the door of a room and knocked on it while snorting.

"Come in."

Hearing this sound, Xin Baoer's teeth subconsciously felt aching. How should I put it? The first feeling was that it was unpleasant. Even though there were only two words, one could clearly hear the harshness of the sound, like an iron rod scratching across an iron plate. The listener got goose bumps all over his body.

The door was pushed open, and several people stood at the doorway to block the light, causing the room to be very dim. A figure could be vaguely seen leaning on the soft couch at the innermost part.

Because of the preconceived notion of the voice, Xin Baoer was a little worried that she would meet a man with a green face and fangs. She tugged at the corner of Chu Xingchen's clothes with her little hands and hid half of her body behind him, as if she was ready to run away if the situation got bad.

As everyone left the door, light shone in and the figures in the distance gradually became clear.

The person in front of him was a thin and handsome man, with extremely white skin, an abnormally white skin, a white skin that looked sickly, which made his lips and teeth look even redder. His hair was thick and long black, casually draped behind him, making him look even more unruly. He was half lying down, and his height could not be seen, but from the pair of long legs revealed under his open clothes, one could probably guess that he was not short.

Unlike what she had imagined, Xin Baoer was no longer afraid. She loosened her hands, walked to the seat where Chu Xingchen had taken action, and sat down, curiously looking at the strange man who had been sitting motionless at the top of the seat.

"Hey, now that we're here, you should be more restrained. You've scared the little girl." The woman walked up to the man, too lazy to move her hands, and kicked him in the calf.

The man then lazily sat up a little, and casually pulled the hem of his clothes with his slender fingers, hiding his long legs in the dark blue hem.

He raised his eyelids and reluctantly glanced at the people in the room as a greeting.

Before Xin Baoer looked away, she met his eyes that seemed to look down on everything. She felt an inexplicable pain in her heart and felt very confused. She looked away and rubbed her chest unconsciously.

"What's wrong?" Because there was a stranger there, Chu Xingchen always kept his eyes on her, so that he could protect her immediately in case of danger. So when he saw her movements, he asked immediately.

"No, maybe the room is stuffy and I feel a little suffocated." Xin Baoer replied absentmindedly.

Xin Baoer's movements and expressions were all seen by the woman, and the light in her eyes became brighter. She introduced him, "The fourth prince of the dynasty, Ning Mo." After saying this, she looked at the two people's expressions, which did not change significantly, and continued, "He is also my brother Qin Mo."

Chu Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, while Xin Baoer opened her mouth wide.

The woman giggled, hearty and generous, "I'm scared, there are more scary things, don't you dare to listen."

"How about I leave now?" Xin Baoer stood up immediately and performed the "let's leave as soon as we say so" trick for her on the spot.

"Tsk, still so boring." The woman said dissatisfiedly.

"Our Qin is the same as your mother's. Are you surprised or surprised?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The unpleasant voice interrupted the woman's self-entertainment.

"You're so impatient. That's unlovable." The woman glared at the man with disgust.

"Okay, time is limited, so I'll make it short. I know that the Second Master has been investigating the Fourth Prince recently, so I came here specifically to tell you that my sister and I are your friends, not your enemies. If you want to know anything, you can ask directly. If we continue the investigation, he will be in danger." The woman finally stopped laughing and said with a serious expression.

"Reason?" Chu Xingchen didn't buy it and asked with raised eyebrows.

"My father is Qin Shichuan, the youngest son of the Qin family, and my mother is Chu Feiyan, the Princess Feiyan of the previous dynasty."

The woman did not explain too much, but just casually threw out two names. It was precisely these two names that made Xin Baoer and Chu Xingchen change color.

Qin Shichuan, the mother's younger brother, is a model of "freedom and bohemianness". He would rather not be included in the family tree than not travel around the famous mountains and rivers. The Qin family can't do anything about him. Anyway, there is someone to inherit the family business, so they simply let him go.

She had heard of him when she took over the Qin family's power, but she didn't take him seriously at first. After all, she didn't even know if he was still around even when the family was destroyed.

Xin Baoer was also familiar with the name Chu Feiyan. She had just heard Chu Xingchen say a few days ago that the little aunt who was living outside was said to be like her mother. She didn't like red clothes but loved weapons. She liked to travel all over the world, under the pretext of "punishing evil and promoting good, and helping the weak."

So they haven't found him after years of searching. It's not because the people who were looking for him were not diligent, nor is it that there was really no news at all. It's just that this person is like a swallow. Just as they received the news, when they arrived, the person had already flown away and no one knew where he was.

"Then what's your name?" After thinking for a while and sorting out the relationship, Xin Baoer suddenly asked.

"Qin Chu." The woman answered subconsciously, but she regretted it as soon as she said the name. The little girl actually learned how to cheat her.

Xin Baoer ignored the woman's annoyed look and smiled smugly.

"So, what you want to say is that all of us sitting here are relatives?" After being surprised, Chu Xingchen asked with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Xin Baoer turned to look at Chu Xingchen. The man's face was still as gentle as usual, making it impossible to tell his true expression.

But Xin Baoer had been with him for a long time and was particularly sensitive to his emotions, so she quickly understood what he actually wanted to express.

Even brothers and fathers and sons are scheming against each other, let alone they are cousins ​​who have never met each other. Why should they let down their guard just because you casually tell them your identity?

Realizing the true meaning of Chu Xingchen's words, Xin Baoer decisively shut up, sat quietly on the chair, swinging her legs, eating cakes, and even took the time to drink a few sips of tea, looking like a passerby who had nothing to do with it and was indifferent.
