Chapter 30 A Sense of Belonging

well. 。Even if Chang Lingyue knew she bullied other maidservants and secretly looked at the jewelry some customers bought in Zhen Bao Ge, 。But over the years, Liu Yun has both contributed and endured...Qingxuan nodded. "It's well-known in the town that the King used to love eating roasted chicken at Wu Xiang Ju. I heard it from an old woman who, like me, washed her laundry by the river. She said the King was handsome and majestic, like a celestial being who descended to earth. He was the dream lover of many young women in Chen State. So knowing that the King liked the roasted chicken at Wu Wei Ju, many girls would dress up beautifully and try to meet him there for a chance encounter that would become a legend."

Qing Xuan said a lot, but Nangong Ye's focus wasn't on those girls who wanted to marry him.

Nan Gong Ye: "You mean the old woman who also washes clothes in the river"

Nan Gong Ye discovered the clues in her words, and she could no longer hide them.

Since she intended to watch Nangong Ye's every move, some things, Nangong Ye would eventually find out.

My biological mother was not Lu Xuepei, but a concubine raised outside the house by Hou Jiadu. After Lu Xuepei cut off the monthly silver that Hou Jiadu's residence gave to my mother, I could only wash clothes with her by the river for a living.

Qingxuan didn't mention where she learned her medical skills, and Nangong Ye didn't ask.

His gaze fell upon Qingxuan's hands, covered in cocoon-like growths.

From the moment he saw the calluses on her hands, he knew she was not a genuine noblewoman from a prestigious family.

But she said she was the real Ji Qingxuan.

She is indeed the daughter of Marquis Ji Du, but there is something fishy about her status as a legitimate daughter.

When he first met Qingxuan, he had already determined that he was a dying man and didn't care about any of this.

It doesn't matter who she is.

But now, she is on her own.

The room fell into an unusual silence. Just as Qingxuan thought Nanguang Ye couldn't accept her humble background, she heard him say, "Was it very hard back then"

Nan Gong Ye's tone was full of compassion, he didn't mind her background at all.

Qing Xuan's heart warmed.

Washing laundry by the riverbank is the original owner, not her.

Even though the original owner was very hard-working, enduring the bitter cold of winter with icy river water and painful frostbite on her fingers, she didn't mind. Being able to be with her mother made all the hardship worthwhile.

Thinking about this, my chest began to ache, and a bitter taste rose in my throat.

The original owner always wanted to avenge her mother and find the culprit who killed her. She also wanted revenge on Lu Xuepei and Ji Douxiao, but in the end, she felt she could do nothing except die.

"Little One, those who made you suffer before, when I'm better off, I will make them pay back tenfold!"

Hearing Nanguang Ye's voice, Qingxuan came back to her senses from her memories.

Looking at Nangong Ye, Qing Xuan felt a pang of sympathy in his eyes. In this unfamiliar world, she seemed to find a glimmer of belonging for the first time.

Qingxuan did not reject his concern.

On the contrary, this can become Nangong Ye's motivation to believe that he can recover quickly.

Qingxuan extended her little finger and smiled at him, "Let's make a pinky promise now. When you recover, we'll go together for revenge and make all those who hurt us pay back tenfold."

At this moment, his body couldn't move, so Qing Xuan used her little finger to hook onto his little finger.

Qingxuan: "That's it, we're all set!"

He gazed at her with intense eyes, wishing he could hold her in his arms right now.

"Xuan'er, when will you be able to catch my spine"

Qingxuan's expression turned serious: "According to the current situation, the surgery can be performed in three days. But in these three days, you must eat well and don't skip meals because you're worried about getting your sheets dirty. Otherwise, if your physical condition is not good, the surgery will carry a greater risk factor, and I will be more tired during the operation, and I may even faint due to the length of time, and you will lose the opportunity to stand up again as a result. That would be a loss."

The maidservant only brought them leftover steamed buns at night. He had long suspected that no one washed the sheets.

From now on, Qingxuan will be the one washing the bedsheets. He doesn't want her to be too tired and can't bear to see her hands soaking in icy water again during the deep autumn season.

But now, hearing Qingxuan say this, even if he was unwilling, he could only obediently listen to her and eat what she fed him.omething Qingxuan hadn't expected. 。She didn't expect that Nangong Mei, whom she had only met twice, would care about her so much. 。This was also something Mei Fei hadn't expected. 。Mei Fei touched Na...
