“Nangong Qingle came to the Nangong family as Nangong Qi’s daughter.”
“She?” Nangong Mian said, “How come I didn’t know I had another sister?”
Huang Quan said indifferently, “She returned to the Nangong family as Nangong Qi’s daughter. Didn’t you investigate her?”
“We did.” Nangong Qiu said, “She claimed her mother was from the Spirit race, so she couldn’t reveal her identity at the time. Moreover, when she came to the Nangong family, she brought tokens and passed the bloodline test, so we didn’t suspect her. But Big Brother became suspicious after seeing you, so he sent someone to investigate your situation and found out that both Qi’er and Lingran had disappeared.”
“Qi’er, Lingran, and the two children have all disappeared, and there’s been no news until now. But Nangong Qingle brought the jade pendant Qi’er wore since childhood. Big Brother suspected that Nangong Qingle knew where Qi’er and Lingran were and was afraid of startling them, so he sent me to see you first and explain the situation.”
“Big Brother knows you don’t want to return to the Nangong family, so before I came, Big Brother instructed me not to force anything.”
“So rest assured, no one will pressure you.”
“However, Qi’er is our brother. It was one thing not to know before, but now that we know he’s missing, we can’t just ignore it.”
“We’ll try to find out Qi’er’s whereabouts from Nangong Qingle as soon as possible.”
“You won’t be able to handle this.”
After Nangong Qiu finished speaking, Huang Quan looked at him and said, “This matter isn’t as simple as you think.”
Nangong Qiu looked at her. “What do you mean?”
“She obtained Father’s jade pendant from somewhere, assumed a false identity to enter the Nangong family, and not long after entering the Nangong family, they wanted her to marry the Crown Prince. While there may be some involvement from the Nangong family, it’s mostly her own intention. Therefore, it’s clear that she’s aiming for the royal family.”
“Furthermore, it’s true that she has the bloodline of the Spirit race. From this, we can see that my mother also had the bloodline of the Spirit race. Even when she was forced by you, my mother refused to reveal her background. This shows that matters concerning the Spirit race cannot be spoken of lightly. Yet, as soon as Nangong Qingle arrived, she told you everything. She’s increasing her bargaining chips to negotiate better with the Nangong family and increase her chances of marrying Di Qin.”
“By involving the Spirit race and the Tianqi royal family, her intentions are far from simple. Without knowing who is behind her, even if you catch her, you won’t get any answers.”
After listening to Huang Quan’s words, Nangong Qiu fell into silence.
When he and his Big Brother discussed this matter, they did consider Nangong Qingle’s intentions, but the matter of marriage was advocated by their father and the Tianqi Emperor, so they didn’t think much about Nangong Qingle.
Now that Huang Quan had said this, he realized how bold Nangong Qingle was!
“In your opinion, what should we do?” Nangong Qiu looked at them and said, “I know you’ve been investigating clues about my parents and my brother’s disappearance. Nangong Qingle should know something.”
“She wants to kill me.”
Huang Quan said nonchalantly, “Nangong Qingle also fears that my existence will expose her identity, so she sent someone before, but that person failed to kill me, and Di Qin’s people couldn’t trace that person’s whereabouts. So, I think she will act again.”
“If her actions continue to fail, the person behind her will surely intervene. It won’t be too late to act then.”
Nangong Qiu frowned. “Aren’t you afraid she’ll run away?”
“Run away?” Huang Quan chuckled lightly. “She can’t run.”
