"Grandaunt?"
Gu Shiyi frowned, could she be her mother's aunt, her grandfather's sister, Ning Qingqing? Even though Ning Qingqing was only ten years older than him, why did he look so young?
"If Waner knew that she would have a daughter like you, I wonder how happy she would be!"
Ning Qingqing looked at Gu Shiyi's face that was covered in affection, and his eyes flickered with bright tears.
When Ning Qingqing mentioned Ning Waner, Gu Shiyi's heart couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness. Even though she had never seen Ning Waner before, she was always beside her ears being brought up.
"You said that you are my aunt, what evidence do you have?"
No one would believe the words of someone who kidnapped him or even knocked him out!
Furthermore, Gu Shiyi did not forget how this woman who called himself Ning Qingqing addressed himself as master.
"I knew you wouldn't believe it so easily. What about this?"
Ning Qingqing covered his mouth and laughed. He took out a palm-sized Agarwood Box from his sleeve and handed it over to the azure-dressed maid who had been standing by her side the entire time.
The servant took the wooden box and handed it over to Gu Shiyi.
Gu Shiyi stared at Ning Qingqing intently, she received the wooden box and opened it immediately. Inside was a black gold seal and a black ebony order badge.
When Gu Shiyi saw these four words, she felt that she had seen them somewhere before. After carefully searching through her mind, Gu Shiyi suddenly remembered that in the dowry that Ning Waner had given her, there was an extremely old Ning Family clan book. The seal on the first page of the book was exactly the same as the one on the certificate.
The inky wooden medallion also seemed very ancient. Other than a black dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, there was nothing else on it.
Black Dragon Token? Gu Shiyi was shocked. She had once seen the Black Dragon Token from the information that the Thousand Paths Pavilion had gathered. It was a keepsake passed down from generation to generation in the Ning Family.
Gu Shiyi stroked the Black Dragon Token in her hand. Although she had never seen the real Black Dragon Token before, with her ability in appraising ancient items, the Dark Wood Token must have at least five hundred years of history. Furthermore, the Dark Gold Seal also had a very long history.
Therefore, these two things were true, but in Gu Shiyi's opinion, it was still not enough to prove that she was really Ning Qingqing.
When he thought of this, an important piece of information suddenly flashed through Gu Shiyi's mind.
The boy's stamp of the Big Dipper is on his left shoulder, the girl's stamp of the crescent is on his right arm.
Gu Shiyi's eyes were focused on Ning Waner's right arm, she did not know if she had that imprint on her arm.
Ning Qingqing followed Gu Shiyi's gaze and saw his right arm. The corner of her mouth curled into a smile again, and she generously pulled up the clothes on his right arm, revealing a thumb-sized, dark red crescent mark.
"Do you believe me now?"
Ning Qingqing remained smiling as he finally nodded his head once.
But, even if she was really Ning Qingqing, at this time, if she used such a method to tie him up to this place, Gu Shiyi did not think that she was just trying to make friends with him.
It was impossible for Ning Qingqing not to know that her Ning Family was still at its peak, and that she was Ning Waner's daughter, a fact that everyone knew about. Furthermore, she had lived in the Gu Residence for more than ten years, and he had not even been able to match up to a servant, so Ning Qingqing should also be aware of this as well. Then, why didn't Ning Qingqing pick her up when she was in a perilous situation, and chose to leave just at this time?
The Ning Family was merely her outer sect, so it was reasonable that they did not accept her offer, but to choose to do so at such a time, it left no choice but for the others to give it more thought.
Four years ago, when she left the Great Xia Kingdom, she had returned to the Capital Xia as a disguise, so no one could recognize her. When she returned to Yan City and Southern City, she had never officially appeared in the Capital Xia, and even when she returned to the Prince Su Palace a few days ago, she had still disguised herself.
Judging from Ning Qingqing's actions, it seemed that he had already known that they would pass by this place. He had specially set up an ambush here to capture her alive.
All of this did not make sense!
Amongst them, Gu Minghong used a lot of strength, but Gu Minghong did all of this with a condition. That is, for the rest of Gu Minghong's life, we will not show up in front of Waner or you to recognize him, so, in order to keep our promise, we will allow all of your encounters at the Gu family to happen, but Ning Family has always sent people to secretly protect you, otherwise, you will think that you will be able to survive Xiao Zhi's many hidden attacks! "
Ning Qingqing sighed, with Gu Shiyi's suspicious personality, she was really not like Ning Waner at all!
After Ning Qingqing reminded him, Gu Shiyi indeed found some clues in his memories. Could it be that the truth was really as Ning Qingqing had said?
"Later on, you were married into the Prince Su Palace, and because the Prince Su Palace had always been heavily guarded, we were simply unable to enter, until one month after you went missing, we found out about it. After that, the entire Gu Family was exterminated, and the agreement between Ning Family and Gu Minghong was scrapped, and Ning Family never gave up trying to find you and bring you back!"
After Ning Qingqing said this, he lowered his head and tightly held onto his right hand, a trace of ruthlessness flashed past his eyes, and when he raised his head again, his eyes returned to normal.
"It was only until a month and a half ago when Ning Family's spies in the southern part of the city discovered your tracks that the scene yesterday occurred!"
Everything Ning Qingqing said was reasonable, but Gu Shiyi still had a few questions.
"I am only the granddaughter of Ning Family, why would Ning Family be so persistent in wanting to bring me back?"
Gu Shiyi's hand was still stroking the Dark Wood Black Dragon Token. The actions of her Intuition Ning Family were definitely not some simple matter.
"When Waner was very young, she was already the next successor of the. Then with Waner gone, the next successor of the Patriarch would be you!"
"Why me? Why not you? Am I surnamed Gu?"
"Because I'm just an abandoned infant adopted by my father and mother. I don't have any Ning Family nor any bloodline on me, but other than my father, mother and brother, only I know about this matter."
At this point, Ning Qingqing started to feel a bit sad. The Ning family had given her, a baby abandoned by its birth parents, a warm and harmonious home. With his father, mother, and brother's love for her, a person who should have been relegated to a commoner status could have lived a life even more honorable than that princess could.
