Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child: Chapter 578 Deng\'s past
Chapter 578 Deng Family Past
Xiao Juan strode over, and after confirming that the curls just fell asleep and that there is no problem with the body, he was relieved.
Then he took the curls in his arms and asked Luo Pingsha.
"Why are you here?"
Luo Pingsha explained how they came here 1510 times.
Xiao Juan pondered for a while, guessing that someone should be trying to kill Yu Weiwei while he was away.
The Deng family's people rescued Yu and others in time.
In this way, the Deng family does not seem to be an enemy.
Deng Yuchuan turned his body slightly, revealing the low couch behind him.
"You can put the princess on the couch to rest."
Xiao Juan stood still.
Although Deng Yuchuan sent someone to rescue the curl, Xiao Juan was still suspicious of him.
Deng Yuchuan said helplessly.
"This is the Deng family. If I really want to be unfavorable to you, I just need to shout. Why do I need to go around in such a big circle?"
Although he has been disarmed and returned to the field, he still has a group of private soldiers under his command, enough to thousands of people.
The reason why he didn't use force directly was because he wanted to have a good talk with Xiao Yan.
Xiao Juan naturally knew this.
He strode over, put the curls on the low couch, and pulled the quilt over her.
The guy lit the candle in the inner room and finally backed out.
Xiao Lian turned to look at Deng Yuchuan and asked the doubts in his heart,
"Why did you pretend that you didn't know Li Niang during the day and drove us out of the Deng family, but quietly met this king at night?"
Deng Yuchuan sat in the Taishi chair and said slowly.
"There are many people during the day, which makes it inconvenient to talk."
Xiao Juan asked, "This is the Deng family. As the head of the Deng family, you have some scruples?"
Deng Yuchuan sighed.
"The Deng family is a big family, and there are many people in the family. Even if I am the head of the family, I cannot guarantee that everyone is reliable."
Xiao Juan: "Then can you tell this king now what is the relationship between you and Li Niang?"
Deng Yuchuan did not answer the question.
"You haven't answered me yet, why do you want to track down Li Niang's affairs?"
Between the question and answer, the two seemed to have returned to the original point.
Xiao Juan was silent.
Deng Yuchuan said slowly.
"From the moment you entered Luzhou, you were being watched.
You have become prey in the eyes of others, but you yourself are ignorant.
If I hadn't sent someone to the inn to protect you, your county princess would have fallen into the wrong hands.
Is this not enough to express my goodwill towards you? "
Xiao Juan was unmoved, and asked calmly, "Since you have no ill will towards us, why can't you answer this king's question first?"
Deng Yuchuan laughed dumbly: "Forget it, let me speak first."
He closed his eyes, as if he was missing something, before he opened his mouth for a long time.
"Li Niang is my sister."
When these words came out, not only Xiao Lian, but also Luo Pingsha and Ling Hai were stunned.
Without waiting for them to ask questions, Deng Yuchuan continued to talk on his own.
"Li Niang and I were born to the wife of the original wife. After our mother passed away, my father married a successor. The current Empress Dowager Deng is the wife of the successor."
In other words, he and Li Niang are the brothers and sisters of the same mother, and the Empress Dowager Deng is only his half-sister.
The intimacy between them is already clear.
Xiao Juan asked, "Since Li Niang is the daughter of the Deng family, why did she appear alone in Jinguan City?"
"I went to the border with my uncle since I was a child.
Because the border crossing is far from Luzhou, I can only go home for several years.
We can only communicate with family members through letters on weekdays.
Before every other month, Li Niang would send me a letter from home.
She didn't want me to worry, so she always reported good news instead of bad news in her letters.
I thought she was having a good time at home.
Until thirty-nine years ago, I did not receive a letter from Li Niang for a long time.
I was very worried, but at that time the border war was tight and I couldn't get out.
It will be two years later when the war situation stabilizes a little.
I rushed back to Luzhou, but was told that Li Niang had passed away and her body had been buried. "
Having said that, Deng Yuchuan slowly opened his eyes, his gray eyes were full of sadness.
"Li Niang has always been in good health, I don't believe she will die suddenly.
I want to open the coffin for an autopsy, but my father doesn't agree.
Because of this, I had a big fight with my father, which almost broke the father and son.
In the middle of the night, I slipped out of the house in the dark, quietly went to Li Niang's grave, and dug up Li Niang's grave. "
Xiao Juan, Luo Pingsha and Ling Hai were all fascinated.
Luo Pingsha couldn't help but ask.
"and then?"
Deng Yuchuan: "There is a dead bone lying in the coffin. Although it has lost its skin and flesh and cannot see the facial features, I can still be sure that the bones in the coffin are not Li Niang."
Xiao Juan: "Do you have any credentials?"
Deng Yuchuan: "Li Niang once told me in a letter that she accidentally fell down once,
The little toe of the left foot just hit the stone.
Although the injury was later healed, the little toe was slightly deformed.
I can’t see it when I walk, so few people know about it.
The bones and toes of the corpse in the coffin are intact, and there is no sign of deformation, so I concluded that she is not Li Niang. "
Xiao Juan accepted his explanation and continued to listen to his narration.
"When I got home, I told my father about this, hoping that he would investigate the matter thoroughly and find the missing Li Niang.
In the end, my father locked me up and ordered me not to spread the word about it. "
Ling Hai couldn't understand and couldn't help saying.
"Does he not care about the life and death of his own daughter at all?"
Deng Yuchuan: "I also asked him the same way,
He said that he was not only Li Niang's father, but also the head of the Deng family, and he wanted to consider the entire Deng family.
As for Li Niang, I can only blame her for her bad life. "
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, the fingers on the crutches folded involuntarily, and the blue veins bulged on the back of the thin hand.
Obviously he was in a very uneasy mood at this time.
"For so many years, I have been trying to find a way to investigate the whereabouts of Li Niang.
But everyone in the family kept silent.
No matter how much I cross-examined, no one told Ken me the truth.
When my father and stepmother passed away, I inherited the position of the head of the family, and those who knew it back then were no longer alive.
Everyone has already decided that Li Niang is dead, but I still have the last glimmer of hope in my heart.
What if Li Niang didn't die? What if she was still alive?
Maybe she is waiting for me to save her somewhere in the world, I must not give up looking for her.
until you suddenly appeared,
You brought not only the portrait of Li Niang, but also the news of her death. "
When he said the last sentence, Deng Yuchuan didn't hold back, his eyes were red, and his voice was full of grief.
God cut off even his last ray of hope.
Ling Hai also has a younger sister, so he can empathize with Deng Yuchuan's words.
If something happened to his sister too, he would definitely be grief-stricken to the point of collapse.
