Luckily, since they were in an inn, there was no concept of a private room. Otherwise, Nangong Mian would definitely not agree to go to Huangquan’s room for a discussion.
“Okay,” Nangong Mian said. “I’ll dry my hair and come right away.”
“Okay,” Huangquan nodded.
After Nangong Mian finished speaking, he closed the door.
After Nangong Mian closed the door, Huangquan returned to her own room, but didn’t close the door.
Before long, the errand boy brought the person.
Seeing the door open, the errand boy led the person directly into the room and said to Huangquan, “Miss Huang, the person is here.”
Huangquan turned her head slightly upon hearing this.
The person who came with the errand boy was a man with a gentle demeanor. When he saw her looking, a smile appeared on his face.
Huangquan shifted her gaze back to the errand boy and said, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, Miss,” the errand boy said before leaving the room.
“Please sit,” Huangquan said to the man after the errand boy left. “My brother will be here soon.”
“No problem.”
The man walked over and sat down beside Huangquan. He smiled gently and asked, “Aren’t you curious about who I am and why I want to see you and your brother?”
Huangquan smiled and replied, “You’re from the Nangong family. It’s not hard to guess.”
The man seemed a bit surprised. “Did Crown Prince Qin tell you?”
“Sort of.”
“In that case, you should already know that you and your brother are members of our Nangong family.”
Huangquan looked at the man and smiled. “Do you have any evidence to confirm my identity?”
The man nodded. “Yes, we do.”
“After Big Brother found you, he sent someone to Tianhuang Country on a sacred beast. We have investigated your parents. Your father is named Nangong Qi, and your mother is named Ling Ran.”
“You’re right.” Nangong Mian walked in from outside and sat down beside Huangquan, looking at the man. “But does that confirm that we are members of the Nangong family?”
Although he didn’t know what was going on exactly, knowing that he might be a member of the Nangong family, the first family of the Tianqi Empire, Nangong Mian wasn’t happy at all. Because his parents had never mentioned the Nangong family of the Tianqi Empire. They had never mentioned it in all those years, indicating that the Nangong family wasn’t a good memory for them. Under what circumstances would they have bad memories? With just a little thought, it was clear that it wasn’t a good thing. So Nangong Mian wasn’t happy at all, and he didn’t even want to see anyone from the Nangong family.
Nangong Mian made his dislike quite obvious, and the man sighed as he looked at him. “Your sister resembles your mother to some extent, while you take after your father.”
Nangong Mian pressed his lips together, looking at the man with cold indifference.
The man said, “My name is Nangong Qiu. I’m your father’s third brother, so you can call me Third Uncle.”
“No,” Nangong Mian refused directly. “I’ve never heard my father mention anything about a third brother from the time I was young.”
Adding another sentence, he continued, “Of course, neither did my mother.”
Nangong Qiu’s gaze dimmed slightly upon hearing this. He asked, “Not even once?”
Nangong Mian didn’t expect him to show such an expression. He paused for a moment and then said, “Not even once.”
“It seems he still holds a grudge against us…”
“My parents are very good people and generally don’t hold grudges. But if they’ve been holding a grudge against you for so many years, it must mean that what you did back then was extremely excessive.”
Nangong Qiu looked at him, hesitant to speak.
Seeing his hesitation, Huangquan said, “You don’t need to be conflicted. Even if you don’t say it, we’ll find out eventually.”
Thinking about the familiarity between Huangquan and Crown Prince Qin, the man sighed. “Very well, I’ll tell you.”
Mian Mian: My parents never mentioned you even once. You’re not good people.
Nangong Qiu: …
