Chapter 169 The Dark Musician 22

Qin Shuxiang felt her resistance and found it a little funny.

"Why, are you on guard now? If I really want to do something to you, do you think it's too late?"

"Mother……"

Yu Miao tried to call back her kindness through these two words.

Qin Shuxiang laughed out loud: "Come here quickly. I am always very tolerant towards beautiful people. How could I bear to hurt you? I just want to tell you something."

"Is it related to... my background?"

Qin Shuxiang nodded, not surprised that Yu Miao would ask this.

"The truth will come to light sooner or later. You are a smart girl, so you will definitely be aware of it."

"But how would Mother Qin know?"

Qin Shuxiang shook her head and laughed at her naivety: "Do you really think that with the Yu family wiped out and the murderer on the loose, someone would be willing to take such a big risk to take you in? Yes, you two sisters are indeed beautiful, but that's not enough for me to gamble my life on."

"Your true identity is the Princess of the Celestial Empire."

When Yu Miao heard this answer, he felt it was unexpected but reasonable.

She had anticipated that she might be either rich or noble, but she had never imagined that she was actually a princess.

"What about... my mother?"

"He died long ago."

She had expected this, too.

Qin Shuxiang saw that her face showed no emotion and thought that she was too sad and so heartbroken that she couldn't show it.

I felt a little more pity in my heart.

The tone of his voice softened a little: "Your mother is Lian Yi, whom I mentioned before. She was my dance playmate when I was young.

We originally came from the same poor place, and we traveled together and learned to dance together.

Unlike me, your mother is very talented in every aspect and learns things very quickly, especially in dancing.

To reach the same level as her, I had to work ten times harder, but even so, she won the Oiran competition that year effortlessly.

Our destiny changed at this time.”

Qin Shuxiang's eyes drifted into the distance, as if she was recalling something.

"Back then, Lian Yi made a stunning debut, with extraordinary talent and skills, a flawless face, and a warm smile, like a goddess from heaven...

By chance, they met the current emperor, and they quickly fell in love and made a promise to be together for the rest of their lives."

What happened next was just as Yu Miao had guessed. It was simply that the identities of the two were too different. One was a prince, and the other was just a dancer from Yangzhou. Even though she had the title of an oiran, she was ultimately a person of low status.

How could the royal family allow such a person to lower their status?

Not to mention adding her name to the family tree.

So the two of them began a very unforgettable and tragic love story.

The emperor was also very devoted, but it was this devotion that killed her.

Don't forget, this is an ancient plane where killing is not illegal. If you hurt the interests of so many women, you can kill her in a matter of minutes.

"Does Yu Xin know about this?"

She and Yu Xin are twins, so Yu Miao naturally thinks that their mother is the same person.

Qin Shuxiang shook her head: "She is the child of the Yu family. It is true that the young lady gave birth to twins, but they were not two girls, but twin boys and girls. At that time, the young lady lamented the difficulty of being a woman and asked me to take you away from this place of trouble. I saw that the Yu family was honest and hardworking, and thought that the future would not be difficult, so I sent you over personally, but who could have thought..."

Even though she didn't finish her words, Yu Miao knew what she wanted to say.

This also explains why, although Mother Qin seemed strict with her, she never scolded her in private.

She and Yu Xin seemed to be imprisoned because of this sudden incident, but it was indeed because of the protection of the Red Mansion that they were able to grow up safely.

"The Yu family...were they twins at that time?"

Qin Shuxiang's eyes changed slightly: "Yes."

"But for the sake of my identity, I will..."

"Yes, I can't care about other people, I just want you to live."

Yu Miao didn't know what to say.

There was another question in my mind: "Mom, since you and my mother are from the same place and studied the same art together, why do you call her 'Miss'?"

"In order to make her identity more reasonable, the emperor fabricated an identity of a young lady from a poor clan. Your mother took me away from the Red Mansion out of consideration for our friendship."

"Then if you've already left, why did you come back?"

Qin Shuxiang smiled bitterly: "I have only been able to dance since I was a child, and I don't know any other ways to make a living. I don't have the fate of a lady, but I can only be supported by others. Where else can I go except here?"

Yu Miao could vaguely see tears flashing in her eyes.

But she didn't want to mention it anymore: "But you and I are different. You have the opportunity to stand on the side of power. This is why I didn't agree to your marriage with Xiao Jinan.

Their Xiao family is the descendant of a traitor. They disobeyed the imperial edict and committed treason and collaborating with the enemy, which is a capital crime!

If you have anything to do with him, you will never be able to get your position as princess back!

Miao'er, I treat you as my own half-daughter. I hope you live a happy life, at least happier than your mother and I."

Is Xiao Jinan the descendant of a criminal?

Yu Miao accurately extracted information about the target of attack from so much information.

Why haven’t I heard Xiaoqing mention such an important thing?

"Woo--Woo--"

The birds sounded a warning that someone was coming.

Qin Shuxiang stopped talking immediately.

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft: "You really disappoint me so much, get out!"

Yu Miao knew that she said it on purpose for outsiders to hear.

He knelt down and kowtowed to Mother Qin before leaving the house.

She knew how great the risk was in telling this secret.

If she didn't have such valuable information, she wouldn't even know how she died in this world. She was extremely grateful to Mother Qin for raising her.

"elder sister."

Yu Miao was surprised, how could it be Yu Xin?

Didn’t Mother Qin just restrain her from walking?

“Sister, I was worried about you, so I didn’t listen to Mother Qin.”

The words Yu Miao wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

When was she here?

How much did she hear what was said to Qin's mother?

Yu Xin slowly approached her with a charming smile: "What's wrong, sister? Did Mother Qin scold you?"

"…Never."

"Then why does my sister look so nervous?"

Yu Miao looked at her smiling face and always felt that it was not as bright as before.

It's as weird as wearing a smiling mask.
