After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

"Wuyou, Changle, these are the names your mother gave you, right?"

"how do you know?"

the boy asked.

Meng Qianqian said softly: "Because this is Second Aunt's expectation for you, and only Second Aunt would have such expectations for you."

How could those people in Qianji Pavilion give them names with such beautiful meanings?

I don't ask them to get ahead, I don't ask them to revitalize my country, and I don't ask them to be involved in the vortex of revenge. I just hope that they can live a life without worries and live happily forever.

Meng Qianqian looked at her younger siblings lovingly, just like she was looking at every merchant who would never come back. If the spirits of her family members were in heaven, they would surely have the same expectations as her second aunt.

Well, they just need to grow up safely and leave the revenge to her.

"It's cold outside, sit inside."

Meng Qianqian said to the two of them.

The boy looked back at his sister who was almost frozen, and although he was reluctant, he still went into the house.

Nanny Wan and others, who had just gone to the gate to eat melons, quickly opened the curtain and went forward to serve.

They knew about the twins' return home before Meng Qianqian, and already knew their identities.

Chen Long is the young lady’s sworn brother, and they are Chen Long’s brothers and sisters, which means they are also the young lady’s brothers and sisters.

Banxia hurriedly took off the cloak for the girl, pinched her sleeves, and said with a smile: "The snow fell on your body and it's all wet. I'll take the second young lady to change clothes first."

The girl looked at the boy.

The boy still looked alert.

Banxia quickly explained: "It's in the inner room."

The boy then nodded.

Banxia led the girl into the inner room, opened the closet, and said to her with a smile, "Second Miss, the closet is full of clothes that I prepared for you. Which one do you want to change into?"

The girl looked at the cabinet full of silk and pearl shoes in amazement and asked in shock, "Are these... all of them?"

"Ok!"

Banxia smiled and nodded, "Some are made by Miss, and some are bought from the Misty Rain Pavilion. Miss said she didn't know the second young lady's height and what kind of style she likes, so she prepared all the popular styles in the capital. Miss, take a look and see if you like anything. If not, you can change into something for now. Miss will take you to the Misty Rain Pavilion to choose in person later."

The girl said politely, "Please help me choose. Anything is fine."

Banxia picked up a pink rabbit fur short jacket with a pipa collar and said, "Second Miss, do you like this one?"

The girl nodded.

Banxia helped the girl change her clothes: "The size is just right."

The girl changed into a short jacket and came out, and the ginseng soup prepared by Madam Du was ready.

There are four bowls in total, Meng Qianqian, Miao Wang, and twins.

King Miao drank it all in big gulps.

The boy didn't move.

King Miao glared at him and said, "Why? You want me to feed you?"

The young man drank the ginseng soup feeling very frustrated.

The Miao King pointed at his bowl and said seriously: "There is only one mouthful left. Don't leave any."

The boy said angrily: "I'm not a dog, do I have to lick the bowl?"

Meng Qianqian tried to smooth things over: "Grandpa, maybe the food at the bottom of the bowl is cold."

King Miao said: "Okay, since you said so, let's let this guy go."

The young man muttered, "Stop playing the good cop and the bad cop."

"You know a lot?" The Miao King slapped the boy on the back of his head. The force was not strong, but it was quite humiliating. "How dare you talk to my grandson's wife?"

"Grandpa."

Meng Qianqian hugged King Miao's hand.

King Miao said: "You can't spoil this brat!"

Meng Qianqian said: "I also spoil my husband in this way."

Thinking of his only child who had been spoiled and became lawless, the Miao King suddenly felt a little guilty.

When Meng Qianqian saw the girl who had just changed her clothes, her eyes lit up: "She looks really pretty. Come and have a bowl of ginger soup to warm yourself up."

The girl sat down next to her brother.

Opposite the two of them was Meng Qianqian.

Next to the young boy was the Miao King, who sat right next to him so that he could "educate" him at any time.

The boy squeezed his sister's hand and found that her hand was finally warm, and his brows relaxed a little.

Meng Qianqian smiled slightly, he is a responsible brother.

This is how my second uncle took care of my second aunt back then. Although my second uncle was not able to accompany the two children to grow up, it is gratifying that the children inherited his bravery and responsibility.

Meng Qianqian looked at the two of them with gentle eyes: "Wuyou, Changle, I know you may find it hard to believe, but you are really Shangjia's children."

King Miao said in a loud voice: "Did you hear me? I didn't lie to you. You are Shang Wuyou and Shang Changle, not Gongsun Wuyou and Gongsun Changle!"

The young man said seriously: "What kind of evidence is this? Who is she, and why should we believe what she says?"

Meng Qianqian was not angry because of the boy's questioning attitude.

Come to think of it, it’s no wonder that the two of them didn’t believe it.

But when Second Aunt died, Wuyou and Changle were less than three years old and didn’t remember much.

Second Aunt naturally would not let the two children recognize the thief as their father, but once Second Aunt left, the rest of the events were no longer under her control.

Gongsun Yanming, the leader of Qianji Pavilion, might have thought about killing the two to eliminate the trouble once and for all.

But he didn't do so in the end. Instead, he took the two children to live with him and raised them, changed their surnames, and made them believe that he was their biological father.

"Is Gongsun Yanming good to you?"

Meng Qianqian asked.

The young man said, "Of course Dad is good to us."

King Miao slapped him again and said, "You little brat, your father's surname is Shang! I have told you so many times that Gongsun the little thief is just like Xun the old thief. They just want to wait for you to grow up, and then use you to control Shang's old subordinates and get Shang's military books!"

When Meng Qianqian heard that the young man had been speaking for Gongsun Yanming, she smiled with relief.

King Miao asked in shock: "My grandson's wife, why are you laughing? You are not fooled by this boy, are you? Just wait, I will beat him up and make you feel better."

Meng Qianqian smiled and shook her head: "I feel relieved knowing that they have not been wronged in these years."

No matter what Gongsun Yanming's intentions were, as long as the child did not suffer in his hands, it was better than anything else.

If they grew up enduring humiliation like Lu Yuan did in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she would be heartbroken.

The yard that Meng Qianqian arranged for the two of them was next door. It was originally used by Lu Yuan to handle government affairs. In order to take care of the twins, Lu Yuan gave up the yard.

Shang Wuyou still doesn't quite trust the Governor's Mansion and is unwilling to accept the servants arranged by Meng Qianqian. However, Banxia is very much to Shang Changle's liking, so Shang Wuyou reluctantly agrees to let Banxia stay with his sister.

Meng Qianqian figured out that Wuyou’s weak spot was his sister.

She doesn't dare to say anything about men, but her sister is very good at it.

Tan'er, Bai Yuwei, Zhou Yanran, Rou'er, Xiaoru... Who among them is not coaxed into submission by her?

After settling the twins, Meng Qianqian sent King Miao back to the courtyard.

The Miao King waved his hand and said, "I can go back by myself. It's freezing cold. Don't just think about taking care of others. You have to take care of yourself. I heard from the brat that you also had a cold. Don't let yourself get cold again."

Meng Qianqian felt warm in her heart: "I will pay attention."

"Ugh."

King Miao sighed earnestly, "Don't take the attitude of the two children to heart. After all, they have been biased by Gongsun Yanming for more than ten years. If they suddenly accept the fact that they have 'acknowledged a thief as their father', it would be like the sky falling."

"I have carefully observed them along the way. They are good-natured and reasonable. They just need some time. You don't have to rush."

King Miao has selfish motives.

If these two were as stubborn as Prime Minister Xun's adopted sons, he would never have brought them back.

"The little girl is heartless and only listens to her brother. It is enough to find a way to make that boy recognize Gongsun Yanming's true face. That boy has his own ideas and has not been raised as a waste by Qianji Pavilion. If he is too easy to trust others, he will be a fool. Thinking about it this way, that boy is worthy of being a descendant of the Shang family. He has some pride and wisdom of Shang family people."

King Miao paused for a moment and said, "In fact, as long as people are alive, it is the greatest blessing."

Meng Qianqian looked at King Miao steadily: "Grandpa."

King Miao sighed, "When I heard the news about the brat, I wanted to recognize him as soon as possible more than once, but for several years, he refused to forgive us. I was angry, annoyed, and regretful. I wanted to rush to the capital to beat him up and tell him that it didn't matter if he didn't recognize me, but he always wanted to recognize his mother and his grandmother... I came to the capital secretly... and watched him from afar outside the Governor's Mansion..."

"One look changed my mind. It is a blessing from God that he is alive."

This was the first time that King Miao mentioned his feelings to Meng Qianqian. King Miao, who was always careless on weekdays, was actually just an ordinary person.

His grandson is gone, his daughter has gone insane, and the pain he feels inside is no less than that of an ordinary person.

Ordinary people can show weakness and indulge in grief, but he cannot.

He is not only a father and a grandson, but also the king of Miao.

Meng Qianqian: "Grandpa..."

Miao Wang patted her shoulder and said, "Girl, Grandpa can see that Alai, your relationship with Shangjia is not as simple as it appears. You are closer to the two children than Chenlong is to them. Grandpa is telling you this today because he wants to tell you as a person who has experienced it. Don't force it, and don't rush it."

"One day they will understand who their real relatives are."

Meng Qianqian was stunned.

-

At night, Lu Yuan returned from the Ministry of Rites and learned that the Miao King and the twins had returned home safely. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The old man is indeed quite capable. It's no wonder that my grandmother liked him back then."

Meng Qianqian raised the flag for her grandfather: "What do you mean by a few skills? It's obviously a great skill, grandpa is amazing!"

Lu Yuan could see that she was very happy, so he didn't bother with her about her praising another man in front of him, even though that man was his own grandfather.

"How is it? Do you recognize me as your sister?"

he asked.

"not yet."

Meng Qianqian told them every detail of their experiences growing up in Qianji Pavilion. "Tell me, did Gongsun Yanming consult with Prime Minister Xun? One is raising a son, and the other is stealing someone else's child."

Lu Yuan said: "Qianji Pavilion is smarter than my adoptive father. They tricked the children into raising them as their own flesh and blood. If they were not discovered early, I am afraid that the first sword the two children would use after leaving Qianji Pavilion would be to kill you, their sister."

When Meng Qianqian thought about how she and her brother and sister almost killed each other, she felt a chill in her heart: "Qianji Pavilion is so cunning! Wait, what sister?"

Lu Yuan glanced at her and said, "You and Chen Long have sworn brotherhood. Chen Long's brothers and sisters are your brothers and sisters, and you are their sister."

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Yes, that's right."

Lu Yuan stood up: "I'll be out for a while."

Meng Qianqian asked in confusion: "Where are you going so late?"

Lu Yuan said, "Go find the old man. The wedding is coming up soon. I want to ask him where his dragon-subduing and tiger-taming master is. I can't really find a rooster and a hen to take their place in the wedding ceremony."

Meng Qianqian imagined the scene of palace servants holding down two chickens to help a princess and her husband get married, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

Finding the princess and Ji Li is indeed more urgent than getting Wuyou and Changle to recognize her as their sister.
