C296 tension

The steady drinking cup in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. The fragrance of the wine and the splashing of the wine caused everyone to be startled.

Ji Cangming's smooth eyes were filled with longing, pain and sorrow. It seemed as if his eyes were shining with a few tears.

Everyone thought that they were seeing things. They rubbed their eyes and continued to look. They had just seen it.

"Yue Er."

Ji Cangming said in a slightly hoarse voice. The feelings inside were extremely sincere, even people who had no feelings for his could feel them.

While Ji Cangming was toasting and apologizing, all the guests stood up, holding their wine cups.

When Xuanyuan Chen saw that Ji Cangming was looking at him with eyes that were filled with love, he squinted his eyes in displeasure. His entire body was releasing cold air, and without making a sound, he blocked Ji Cangming's gaze.

However, in the next moment, when he saw Ji Cangming walking in Xie Qingrong's direction, Xuanyuan Chen's eyes instantly darkened, and he blocked Xie Qingrong behind him.

With a cup in hand, he saluted towards Ji Cangming with an unfriendly expression and said coldly: "Today is the birthday celebration of the Ji Clan's Clan Chief.

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and downed the cup of wine.

Xuanyuan Chen's words had successfully stopped Ji Cangming from moving further. Only now did Ji Cangming remember that this was his birthday banquet, and thus, he seemed to have lost control of himself during that birthday banquet.

Although Ji Cangming was stunned for a moment when he saw Xie Qingrong's face, he was not stupid. How could a person who could become a Chief of the Ji Family and sit firmly in the position of Patriarch possibly be stupid to such an extent?

Very quickly, he reacted to Xuanyuan Chen's reminder, and even more so, the fact that he was faintly discernable blocked him from looking into Xie Qingrong's eyes. Seeing Xuanyuan Chen's protective attitude, he naturally understood the relationship between the two of them.

Although he was unhappy with his reckless behavior, he did not intend to let it go.

After all, this person looked so similar to his A Month. Almost the first time he saw her, he mistook her for her A Month, a young and vigorous A Month.

The Shang Huaiyue in her memory was dressed in a soft yellow cheongsam like this, but it was not the expressionless face of the young lady, but rather a playful and lively look.

Living fresh in his own memory.

Ji Cangming suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and took a step to the side. With a gentle expression, he asked Xie Qingrong gently: "I am Chief of the Ji Family Ji Cangming, and I see that the lady is rather nice, but may I know her name? "Yearly Geometry?"

Xie Qingrong frowned, her face was clearly tight, how could she have a friendly face, but these big clans' ability to spout lies was more powerful than that of the other, let alone the head of the clan.

He looked around, and saw Ji Rufeng standing amongst the crowd with a face that knew it would be like this. His heart trembled slightly, and he recalled what Ji Rufeng had told him at the restaurant that day, that they would come to this birthday banquet to find out about some things he wanted to know.

Therefore, in the face of Ji Cangming's question, she came out from behind Xuanyuan Chen, bowed towards Ji Cangming, and said with a smile. "This year's fifteenth year has already reached the age of fifty."

As she spoke, she pulled on Xuanyuan Chen's sleeves who was standing beside her and introduced him, "This is my husband, Xuanyuan Chen."

The moment Xuanyuan Chen's name came out, everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment. Even Ji Cangming, who was already prepared, also paused for a moment.

Xuanyuan Chen, not Heavenly Sage Kingdom?

Regarding the life story of this prince, it could be compiled into a book. However, those things were known by outsiders. As the patriarch of a large family, there were some unknown secrets that he naturally knew.

It was just that he had never sent invitations to Prince Chen and Princess Consort Chen before.

Because he saw Xie Qingrong who looked almost identical to Shang Huaiyue earlier, he did not think too much about the reason. Now that he knew the identities of the two, his mind started to work quickly.

As his gaze made contact with Ji Rufeng, Ji Rufeng slightly nodded his head. Ji Cangming understood what was going on in his heart, it seems like Ji Rufeng had sent him an invitation card.

Ji Rufeng never did useless things, did that mean his guess was right?

Ji Cangming clenched his teeth, and asked: "May I ask, who is Princess Consort Chen's mother?"

Xie Qingrong's gaze swept one round around, and upon seeing that the guests didn't seem to care about the development of the place, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

It was obvious that she was extremely impatient with this situation and did not want to answer Ji Cangming's question. However, the desire to know the truth had always been driving her.

She closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, all her hesitations were gone. Since that was the case, then she might as well take a gamble!

"My mother is Shang Huaiyue." Xie Qingrong replied indifferently.

The short eight words seemed to have exhausted all of her strength.

Although Ji Cangming had already predicted this in his heart, he was still a little absent-minded when he heard the answer.

His fingertip was trembling, and his lips were trembling. It seemed as if he wanted to say something, but no words would come out from his mouth.

That year, he brought away, who was about to die from childbirth, and used a special method to protect Shang Huaiyue. However, he did not inquire further, as Shang Huaiyue had actually given birth to a total of two daughters for him.

He had always thought that Xie Qingrong was Xie Jing's daughter, so he hadn't investigated her until Shang Zhiqing found him and told him that Shang Huaiyue had actually given birth to a pair of twins. It was just that Xie Qingrong, the big sister, had been left in the General Xie Palace forever.

Due to many factors, he had never met Xie Qingrong before, but someone had already planted a hand in General Xie's residence, so he was quickly taken care of by another group. After repeating this many times, he gave up on the plan of inserting people.

It was just that after following the movements of the General Xie Palace closely for so many years, he did not expect that the news that he had received was only transmitted to his ears after it had been handled by someone who wanted to do it on purpose.

This time, if it wasn't for the fact that his nephew Ji Rufeng had taken the initiative to invite Xuanyuan Chen and his son, he probably wouldn't have known about this for the rest of his life.

Ji Cangming's eyes flickered with glistening tears. He slowly raised his hand, but seemed to have realized something and lowered it.

She patted Xie Qingrong's shoulders and said: "Good child."

Xuanyuan Chen clenched his hands tightly, he was extremely displeased at the moment. Although he had already faintly touched upon the truth and should be happy for A Rong, but he felt that since these people had never appeared in A Rong's life before, why were they acting like this after knowing everything?

The atmosphere in the plaza became more and more tense, a dark light flashed past Ji Rufeng's eyes, with an unknown meaning, he lightly coughed to remind Ji Cangming.
