CH 43

Su Lianxue wasn’t really the young miss of the Su family and not even the Su family’s biological child. For this Shen Qi only knew it after two days but what about Shen Zhonghua? When did he know? It seemed he’d already known everything long ago. Then in the previous life, did he also know this fact?

For a while, Shen Qi thought a lot in her mind. For a moment her thoughts were clear, and for a moment she was perplexed. She turned her head to Shen Zhonghua and found that she couldn’t understand him.

Shen Zhonghua’s hand that held her hand firmly tightened. He turned his head to her. His gaze opposite her eyes seemed to be comforting her and said to her: “Qiqi, it wasn’t that you have nothing at all.”

Shen Qi didn’t understand looking at Shen Zhonghua’s eyes. She felt the emotions inside were difficult to understand. Shen Zhonghua said to her in a whisper: “The first time when I saw you, it was my imperial father who asked me to choose a person that died for me. He asked me to choose a little girl who could serve around me as a servant girl identity. I chose you.

“The training of a person that died is cruel and harsh. Imperial father said that if you can’t survive it, you will be killed or injured. If you die, it’s my bad vision, but you hold on, step through the blood and finally walk from the dark to my side.”

As he said here, Shen Zhonghua’s gaze looked toward the three Su brothers. He held Shen Qi’s little hand firmly and said: “That day, you became the person that died for me. I have to give you a name. I asked you what your name was. You said you didn’t remember. You only vaguely remember that the people in the house took care of you and called you Little Seven, so I named you Shen Qi.”

(T/N: Qi is # seven. Guess everyone already knows it.)

Shen Qi lowered her head and said: “Yes.”

“Little Seven...... My younger sister Little Seven...... I knew you were Little Seven!” Hearing here, Su Antai who wasn’t good at covering up his emotions, fluctuated again. If it wasn’t for Su Shengfeng on the side to stop, he might have run in front of Shen Qi again, grabbing her hand like a mother with tears in his eyes.

Then they heard Shen Zhonghua said again: “One heard that fourth young master sent someone to search for Qiqi’s past?”

Su Shengfeng defaulted.

“Actually there’s no need for such trouble. This prince also sent someone to dig the ground three feet before and re-investigated the background of Qiqi. Originally, one wanted to find her biological parents who she had been thinking about for her then go seek Imperial Father to bestow marriage and let Qiqi marry from her maiden home gloriously and magnificently.”

Hearing this, Shen Qi was totally stiff. Her heart trembled even more with pain.

What did he say? He was looking for her biological parents for her and still asked the emperor to bestow marriage? Bestowing to whom? He...... was it him?

Shen Qi dared not think but she thought more and more.

Shen Zhonghua’s hand unconsciously embraced Shen Qi’s shoulders from behind. The warmth of Shen Zhonghua’s palm passed through the thin fabric that covered her trembling shoulders that were hard to restrain. Shen Qi’s heart was beating like a drum then she heard Shen Zhonghua continue to say: “Coincidentally, this prince finally found all the witness testimonies and material evidence last night to prove Qiqi’s identity.”

“What identity?” Su Shengfeng knowingly asked. His face was calm, but nervous in his heart. One must know that if one could prove that this Shen Qi was exactly Little Seven, not only would Gods open their eyes, the whole family celebrated the reunion conclusion but more was to solve his mother’s depression so that his mother’s health wouldn’t continue to be bad anymore.

“The reason why Qiqi was called Little Seven by her family was that she ranked seventh in the family.” Shen Zhonghua paused, held the figure in his arms tightly, and said to the three Su brothers: “And Qiqi’s original name is called Tan Ning.”

Hearing this precise name, Su Shengfeng wasn’t calm anymore. His hands trembled and asked Shen Zhonghua: “Prince Xuan, you say it again. What is her name?”

“Tan Ning, Su Tanning.”
