After finished with the cleaning, Ming Hui departed from Fan Lanying's residence and met with Soujin in front of a certain house. The other party was standing there, and he didn't seem to be in hurry to get in.
"Don't you want to confront her?"
"No need, let them have some time together first," Soujin answered.
Ming Hui nodded. "What about with your soldiers? Are they fine?"
"Most of them are fine. I have sent the rest of the wounded ones to the hospital. Your hospital is full, give me some discount for the price."
"10% maximal," Ming Hui answered without hesitation.
"You're a money grubber."
"…"
The price for his hospital was not that expensive in the first place. If one should say who was the money grubber that should have been Yan, not him. Despite feeling indignant, he didn't show it in his face and continued waiting with Soujin there.
…
"Mother, are you fine?" Yan asked his mother who was hiding in the living room.
Madam Qin was staying within the warm room of the living room. She looked startled to see Yan, but then she smiled happily.
"Yan, you have returned!"
"I do."
The house seemed mostly fine and there was no trace of any fight here. With the consideration that their house located quite far from the border between the Nanglong family territory and Kai Kingdom, it seemed the advance never reached this place.
Yan sits near his eager mother before looking at her seriously.
"Mother, why are you letting them come here?"
Madam Qin expression changed. "Yan! What are you saying? Your mother won't do something like that. Don't accuse me without any reason."
Yan didn't say anything. He reached out his pouch and took out a book along with a few other items. His mother face turned pale the moment she saw all of them.
"Where… where did you get them?"
Yan's face turned sour. All this time, he had been hoping that they were only trying to frame his mother. Unfortunately, all the investigation leads to the fact that all of them were indeed done by his mother. His heart was pierced hard by all of the fact presented before him.
"Mother, why?" Yan asked.
Madam Qin knew that there was no way she could hide the fact anymore. Her minds started to think for a lot of things in a few seconds before she opened her mouth.
"Don't you know the history of Qin family?"
Yan knew. The Qin family was a noble family in Kai Kingdom and even has good relationship with the emperor. Yet, tragedy befell them as the emperor accused them for betraying the kingdom. At the time, Kai Kingdom had just lost the war and to make their relationship better, the ladies from Qin family were sent to Ming Kingdom.
Although they were meant as the war prisoner and gift, each of them was being married away. Two of them married to the emperor as concubines and one of them married to Nanglong family. After a long time, no one remembered about their past anymore since they were only woman.
"I'm that one lady," Madam Qin smiled with sour expression. "My birth place would always be Kai Kingdom and I would never bow down to Ming Kingdom emperor."
When she was inside the Cold Palace, some Kai Kingdom's people come covertly. Through them, she managed to sneak information out occasionally and let them knew the condition of Ming Kingdom capital.
Yan already knew that his mother heart lay on Kai Kingdom. This was one of the reasons he set her free. He wanted to bring her to her homeland after the war ends, but now it was impossible.
"Why would you kill your own son?"
If it was only that, he wouldn't mind it. But his own mother had sent assassins to kill Young Noble Han and she even knew that it was his alias. There was no reason for her to kill her own son, right?
Madam Qin looked at him, "Because you're that person son."
Yan finally realized, his mother never loved him. All this time, every time she looked at him, the one she saw was that man.
He remembered his mother as the one who pampered him a lot when he was young and would always protect him whenever he was in trouble. Why did his mother changes to such person who would betray her son right away?
While Yan was still felt shock, two people come inside, Ming Hui and Soujin.
Soujin looked towards Yan. With his martial arts, he obviously knew what they had been talking about just now. "You don't have to be so troubled. She is not your mother."
That sentence brought Yan, who was on the verge of despair, returned to live. What did his friend said? She was not his mother. How could that be?
Looking towards his friend with disbelief, Soujin answered calmly. "My mother told it to me. There are only three ladies from the Qin kingdom sent here. One marries my father while the other two go to the palace. The older one gives birth to a prince, who is you, while the younger one is just one of the many concubines in that place."
Yan also know about that, then what?
"On the day of her being sent to the cold palace, there is another news spreads around in the harem. The younger sister is death."
Ming Hui hadn't heard about this before. He and Yan both were staring at Soujin with incredulous expression. So, you're saying that….
"In truth, Madam Qin over here is the younger sister, the one who died is the older sister."
After finished with the cleaning, Ming Hui departed from Fan Lanying's residence and met with Soujin in front of a certain house. The other party was standing there, and he didn't seem to be in hurry to get in.
