After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Later, I saw that he was disheartened and depressed all day long. Although I didn't know who he was, I couldn't bear it, so I talked to him about ancient books and the way of governing the country. I wanted to use this to divert his attention and make him He was able to calm down and regenerate his will. But what I didn't expect was that he was extremely intelligent and had great ideas. At that time, I felt that he was definitely not a creature in the pool."

As Zhou Yubai spoke, he couldn't help but recall the past.

In fact, thinking about it now, he didn't have much contact with Huangfuling. After about ten days, when he saw that the other party's injury improved, he left Danyue.

Although at that time he felt that the other party would definitely achieve great things in the future, he never expected that the other party would rise all the way up and become the regent who controlled the Danyue court.

But sometimes when I think about it, I feel that it is reasonable. After all, there is no care for such a character. It would be a pity if he did not rise to prominence.

"At that time, my father didn't know the identity of Huangfuling Mausoleum at all. I only heard about this old story from my father after Huangfuling Mausoleum came to visit." Zhou Xuanqi's expression became more solemn, "After discussion, my father and I decided to stick to what happened back then. , I will never let others know, for fear of bringing trouble to the Zhou family. But now it seems..."

Huangfuling is probably trying to make a fuss out of this matter.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the lobby became solemn once again, Chu Huanyan opened her mouth to comfort her.

"Not to mention that very few people know about the old events, and it may not cause any waves. Even if Huangfu Ling really wants to use this matter to make a fuss, my grandfather did not know his identity at the time, and after knowing it, he did not have any contact with him again. It was just a trip. At that time, saving an injured person was nothing."

Zhou Yubai sighed, "That being said, others may not think so. I am already old, so I have nothing to fear. I am only afraid that I will harm you and the Zhou family."

"Grandpa, don't think so. I just want to find out what happened back then. This matter is far from that serious." After speaking, Chu Huanyan slowed down her tone and said with a smile, "Even if Huangfu The Linghui will use this matter to make a fuss, but everything has not happened yet, and it is not yet known who will win."

Seeing that Chu Huanyan was so calm, although Zhou Xuanqi and Zhou Yubai knew that the other party was deliberately trying to comfort him, the expressions on their faces softened a bit.

"Father, Huanyan is right. Nothing has happened yet, so there is no need to worry in advance. Moreover, Huanyan finally came back. Now our family is reunited and we are happy." Zhou Xuanqi also swept away his worries just now. , said with a smile.

Zhou Yubai nodded, also smiling.

Chu Huanyan looked at the two of them, but the smile on her face suddenly faded a bit, "Grandpa, uncle, I wonder if you already know something."

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yubai asked.

Chu Huanyan hesitated for a moment and then said: "Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan are both dead."

Hearing this, Zhou Yubai and Zhou Xuanqi were stunned for a moment, obviously not knowing the news before.

Chu Huanyan looked at the expressions of these two people and was a little surprised, "I just heard from my uncle that you once sent someone to inquire about the Ning'an Marquis Mansion. I thought you already knew about it."

Zhou Xuanqi shook his head, "The two places are far apart, and it's not easy to get information. So my uncle mainly asked people to find out about you, but he didn't pay attention to other things..."

Zhou Xuanqi's tone was cold. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Chu Huanyan again and asked, "How did they die?"

Chu Huanyan roughly explained the cause of the two deaths, but she did not openly tell her the role she played in it. However, she mentioned that she did not try her best to rescue him.

"They have brought it upon themselves. Although I am the eldest sister, in that situation, I really don't want to spend my energy to save them. If my grandfather and uncle want to blame me, I am here to apologize to you." Chu Huanyan stood up. , bowed to Zhou Yubai and Zhou Xuanqi.

"Get up, get up." Zhou Xuanqi stood up first and helped Chu Huanyan up, "We don't mean to blame you. Just like you said, they brought it upon themselves. Although you are the eldest sister, how can you save them? Is it possible that I have to break the law for their lives?"

He has always been unhappy with Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan.

Now he still remembers what he saw when he went to Ning'an Hou Mansion after his younger sister and brother-in-law had an accident.

Huanyan was not very old at that time and had experienced great changes. He might not have noticed it, but he saw clearly that the brother and sister did not look sad at all. Instead, they were worried and complaining, fearing that they would no longer be able to live a good life. life.

"Your uncle is right. You are not to blame for this matter. Get up quickly." Zhou Yubai said in the same gentle tone.

Chu Huanyan stood up and observed their expressions.

When she was unconscious, Chu Huanyan was already vaguely suspicious after seeing how Zhou Yubai and Zhou Xuanqi treated Chu Ziyuan and the others in their previous life. She always felt that something was wrong. But at this moment, looking at the two people's attitudes, Chu Huanyan became more and more suspicious.

After thinking about it, she did not sit down, but bowed to Zhou Xuanqi and Zhou Yubai again.

"Happy and brave, I would like to ask my grandfather and uncle if there is any problem with Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan's life experience?"

Zhou Xuanqi and Zhou Yubai were both stunned, but Zhou Yubai finally reacted first.

"Huanyan, why do you ask so suddenly?"

"I just feel a little strange." Chu Huanyan paused for a moment, then asked straight to the point, "Grandpa, are they really my brothers and sisters?"

Zhou Yubai didn't speak immediately, and the hall fell silent. Zhou Xuanqi looked at his father, as if he was hesitant to speak.

Finally, Zhou Yubai sighed, shook his head and said, "No."

"So they were adopted?" Chu Huanyan immediately asked, but she felt something was wrong.

If they were adopted, then two children suddenly appeared out of thin air. Wouldn't other people in the imperial city know about it?

But after so many years, no one has ever doubted that Chu Ziyuan and Chu Wanyan were not of the Hou family's blood.

And even if he is adopted, it stands to reason that the Zhou family, especially his uncle, would not have such a cold attitude, right?

Zhou Yubai was silent and didn't answer for a while, but Zhou Xuanqi next to him couldn't help it.

"Father, why don't you tell the truth to Huanyan? I believe Huanyan knows the importance of it. Even if you tell her some things, you won't let them out. What's more, if you don't let her know the truth, I'm afraid she will feel guilty in her heart. She didn’t take good care of her younger siblings.”

Zhou Yubai glanced at his son, and after a moment, nodded slowly, "That's all, you go ahead."
