"Daughter … You've suffered … Wuwuwu …" When Princess Consort Jing finished speaking, she wanted to hug Su Shuiche, who was leaning on the bed in a daze. But she was afraid that she wouldn't let her, so she could only lean on Prince Jing and weep softly.
Ever since she found out that Su Shuiche was the daughter that she had cherished for more than ten years, she couldn't help but shed tears of pity.
"Sigh, it's all my fault for not investigating carefully enough that year.
I didn't expect that you would be taken away by Fang Qing. "Prince Jing sighed and said softly.
Although they hadn't seen each other for two years, the daughter in front of them had quickly gotten married and had given birth to a child. She was no longer as arrogant and cold as she was two years ago in the Palace, but it didn't mean that she would easily accept the words of her biological parents.
"Cough … That … I …" Su Shuiche wanted to say that she couldn't remember many things from the past because of amnesia, but she didn't know how to face this pair of cheap parents in front of her.
But she was interrupted by Feng Caiyun's self-reproach, "Good child, Mother knows that you've suffered. No matter what, it's all our fault. Don't make things difficult for yourself, ah?
Mother is really muddle-headed. I shouldn't have said these things to you at this time. During confinement, the most taboo thing to do is to let your imagination run wild and shed tears.
Good child, go through confinement properly. Father and Mother won't force you.
Whether you acknowledge us or not, it's up to you. "
"That's right, Xu 'er. As long as you're willing, wherever you want to live, whatever you want to do, we'll support you unconditionally.
The matter of acknowledging your ancestors and returning to the clan is also up to you.
As long as you don't push us out of the door, everything is up to you. "Liang Xuanjing also nodded his head in agreement.
He had a lot of children in this life, but he only had one child with his official wife.
Although he eagerly hoped that Su Shuiche would acknowledge her ancestors and return to the clan, he also knew the knot in her heart.
Therefore, on the way here, he had already discussed with Feng Caiyun. As long as his daughter forgave them, whether she was willing to acknowledge her ancestors and return to the clan, it would all be up to Su Shuiche.
They definitely wouldn't force her.
Su Shuiche and Lin Siyao looked at each other in surprise. Wasn't there a rumor that the Prince Jing Palace in the capital was famous for the old Prince's ferocious and overbearing character?
Why was the scene before him completely different from the rumors?
Lin Siyao naturally guessed Su Shuiche's thoughts. He raised his eyebrows in amusement and gently held her soft little hand. "Don't think too much. If there's anything, wait until you're done with your confinement."
Su Shuiche nodded and turned to the old prince and princess consort, who were looking at her eagerly, and said softly, "That … this place is not as good as the Palace. If … if you need anything, just tell me. Or do you want to return to the capital earlier?" She really couldn't bring herself to call this noble couple 'father and mother'.
It wasn't a question of forgiveness, but she wasn't the real Liang Enxu.
"No, no, no. We came here with the intention of waiting for you to finish your confinement before going back.
Besides, no matter what, the baby's full moon celebration had to be held in a grand manner.
At that time, your older brother will also come.
Of course, if Xu 'er wants to go back to the capital to take a look, we can go back together after the full moon celebration. "
When Liang Xuanjing and Feng Caiyun heard their daughter say this, they hurriedly waved their hands. It wasn't easy for them to rush over from the capital, so they weren't prepared to go back just to see their daughter.
"Older brother?"
Su Shuiche blinked and came back to her senses after a while. This older brother wasn't the older brother they were referring to. The one they were talking about should be the only heir to the Palace who had inherited the title of nobility: Liang Enzai.
He wasn't the Su Family's Su Tingyi.
"That's right. Although he isn't your biological older brother, he's the closest older brother to you in the world."
Liang Xuanjing's words shocked everyone present. Of course, Feng Caiyun, who knew the truth, was an exception.
Su Shuiche listened in a daze as Liang Xuanjing's deep voice recounted a shocking past and another dust-covered secret of the Palace …
As it turned out, Liang Enzai wasn't Liang Xuanjing's biological son. It should be said that the three older brothers before Su Shuiche weren't Liang Xuanjing's biological son.
They were the sons of his biological older brother, Liang Xuan 'an.
Back then, Liang Xuan 'an disobeyed his father's orders. Not only did he not marry the daughter of a minister, but he also eloped with a prostitute from a brothel.
This angered Old Master Liang so much that he immediately ordered to sever all ties with his eldest son. From then on, the Liang family only recognized one son, Liang Xuanjing.
Unexpectedly, after a year, Liang Xuan 'an sent someone to deliver the infant Liang Enzai to the Palace. He also attached a letter saying that he was entrusting his son to be raised in the Palace.
When Old Master Liang found out about this, he was flustered and exasperated. However, there was nothing he could do. Firstly, he didn't know where his eldest son was. Secondly, Enzai was his Liang family's golden grandson.
Thus, although he was angry, Old Master Liang still raised Enzai with all his strength and placed Enzai under Liang Xuanjing's name.
However, at that time, Liang Xuanjing and Feng Caiyun hadn't married yet. They could only leave Enzai under the care of Liang Xuanjing's head maidservant, Yan Qun. Over time, the news spread to the outside world and this Enzai became the son of Liang Xuanjing's maidservant.
Fortunately, with Liang Xuan 'an's letter as proof, Feng Caiyun believed in Liang Xuanjing and married into the Liang family.
A year after Feng Caiyun married into the Liang family, she became pregnant. At this time, Liang Xuan 'an sent someone to deliver a pair of twin brothers, Liang Ende and Liang Enyi, who later died young. At that time, Old Master Liang found out that his eldest son was seriously ill and would soon die. He was afraid that his parents and brothers would be sad and that he would delay the life of the daughter of a minister. Thus, he invited the brothel girl, Liu Tang, to act out this play. Who would have thought that in the process of taking care of Liang Xuan' an, Liu Tang and him developed feelings for each other and they really became husband and wife.
Thus, she gave birth to three sons and entrusted them to the Palace to take care of. She also begged Old Master Liang not to tell them that their father was the selfish and short-lived Liang Xuan 'an when they grew up.
She was afraid that they would be laughed at by outsiders.
The short period of peace and happiness slowed down Liang Xuan 'an's life for three years.
After delivering the twins, Liang Xuan 'an couldn't survive the cold winter of that year and died of illness. Liu Tang, who was heartbroken, passed away not long after.
After the truth was revealed, Old Master Liang fell seriously ill. After he recovered, he called Liang Xuanjing into his study for a chat. From then on, Liang Xuan 'an was forbidden to speak of in the Palace. His eldest grandson, Enzai, became Liang Xuanjing's eldest son and was the first in line to inherit the title.
Speaking of which, it was strange. Liang Xuan 'an had three sons in a row, but Liang Xuanjing had ten daughters in a row.
After something happened to the di daughter, En Xu, and the main wife, Feng Caiyun, developed some animosity. In order to provoke Feng Caiyun, Liang Xuanjing successively entered seven concubines. Including the children of the main wife, he had ten daughters in total, but none of them were fortunate enough to have a son.
Perhaps it was fate that the Liang family would have such an unforeseen event.
First, he received the title that should have been his elder brother's. Then, his elder brother's son received the title that should have been his son's …
Forget it, forget it. Liang Xuanjing no longer clung to these external things.
He only hoped to win back the heart of his wife, Feng Caiyun.
Now that he finally found out that his daughter who died fifteen years ago was still alive, he cared even less about the fame and fortune that outsiders valued.
He immediately resolved the issue of En Yan, who made En Xu run away from home and had no chance to reunite with her biological parents. Then, he deceived everyone and pretended to be seriously ill. He took off the heavy responsibility on his shoulders and handed it over to the seventeen-year-old Liang Enzai. Helpless, Enzai had no choice but to accept the position of Prince. Before he turned eighteen and built a new residence, he would be responsible for all matters in and out of the Prince Jing Palace.
As for him, he had nothing to do and brought his wife, Feng Caiyun, who he had no animosity with, to travel thousands of miles to this barren place where even birds wouldn't lay eggs to accompany his daughter during her confinement.
…
"Just now, I didn't hear wrongly, right?"
After a long time, only Su Shuiche, who was still a little weak, and Lin Siyao, who was resting while holding her in his arms, were left in the room.
Liang Xuanjing and Feng Caiyun spilled the beans to Su Shuiche about the Palace's secrets. They didn't care at all whether or not she would spread the news and harm her nominal elder brother, Liang Enzai, who had inherited the title of Prince.
Perhaps they wanted her to understand that she was the daughter that they truly cared for in their hearts. At least, she was the product of their love without the interference of a third party.
The three elder brothers in front of her were not her biological brothers. They were her cousins.
Heavens, this kind of shock to her, a foreign soul who had taken over a body, was really too big.
If it was Liang Enxu himself, he would have immediately let down his guard and called the couple "Father, Mother" after knowing the reason behind all of this.
But she didn't.
Alas, who could teach her how to deal with such a chaotic and shocking situation?
"No." Lin Siyao rubbed her soft cheeks and narrowed his eyes as he replied.
These Palace's secrets had nothing to do with him.
He only wanted the little woman in his arms, and as long as she was happy.
As for anything else, it had nothing to do with him.
Even if someone told him that the Prince Jing Palace was going to close down overnight, he wouldn't blink an eye.
"Ah Yao, do you think I should acknowledge them?"
After receiving so much information about her being the only legitimate daughter of the old Prince and Princess Consort, could she still insist that she was just Su Shuiche's soul that had taken over her original appearance?
Not only would the old Prince and Princess Consort be sad, but other people would also think that she had no conscience and didn't know what was good for her.
For example, Lin Siyao.
What she cared about the most was what he thought.
"Up to you.
As long as you're happy, "Lin Siyao replied without thinking and stole a kiss from the corner of her lips.
"Ah Yao …" She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
His tolerance and protection made her feel at ease.
But she also didn't know whether to laugh or cry because he didn't understand the secular world.
Oh, it should be said that it wasn't that he didn't understand, but that he didn't care.
In his heart, as long as he adhered to the principle that everything was good for her, all other doctrines and etiquettes did not enter his eyes and did not enter his heart.
"Ah Yao, thank you.
All this time, if it wasn't for you, I'm afraid that … "If she didn't die in the mountains, she would be trapped in the secular world.
She wouldn't have such a peaceful and comfortable life like now. She didn't need to worry about anything and only needed to be herself.
"I should be the one saying that."
Lin Siyao kissed her sweet and tender lips. He did not want her to continue being grateful to him and waste the time they had spent together.
"Mmm … Ah Yao …"
"Shh … feel it well … Shuiche, thank you for letting me have two other close family members apart from you …" After a long time, he finally pulled away from her lips and held her red cheeks as he spoke in a low voice.
It was the first time he had the chance to say these words after giving birth to the twins.
Su Shuiche's eyes were filled with tears as the corners of her lips curved up.
All this time, he didn't seem to care about the babies very much.
Especially after the doctor said that she might be in danger, he wished that she wasn't pregnant. All of this made her think that he didn't want children.
Ah, so he was afraid of losing her.
But that didn't mean that he didn't love children.
Just like he said, they were his only two closest family members in the world …
