Lu Shiming and his wife were shocked by Ye Zhen's behavior. Their daughter had always been delicate and lovely in front of them. They had never seen such a serious scene. They knew that something big must have happened. They couldn't help but look at each other, vaguely having a bad feeling. 【】
"What's the matter? Get up and talk. You don't need to kneel." Lu Shiming reached out to help her up.
"Father, mother, listen to me first." Ye Zhen whispered. She really owed them too much. If her sister had not been adopted and loved by them, it would have been impossible for her to grow up to the age of fifteen safely and happily. If it had not been for her rebirth, perhaps her sister would still be alive. But now, the couple still knew nothing and still regarded her as their beloved daughter from childhood. Ye Zhen whispered.
Pei Shi held Lu Shiming's hand tightly. "Yao Yao, what do you want to say?"
"Today, I will enter the palace. The Empress Dowager wants to make Ye Yaoyao Concubine Yao. If there is no accident, the emperor should issue an edict to confer me the title of Empress soon. This is a very glorious thing, but … Father, mother, I don't want to enter the palace, and I can't." Ye Zhen whispered.
Lu Shiming thought it was something serious. When he heard his daughter say so, he smiled and said, "If you really don't want to, let's talk to the emperor earlier. I believe the emperor will not force you."
How could this be solved with a simple explanation? Could she defy the imperial edict?
"I want to leave …" Ye Zhen opened her mouth. "Leave here before the emperor gives an edict."
Pei Shi said, "I wanted you to stay in the village for a few days. If you don't like the hot spring villa, go somewhere else."
Ye Zhen whispered, "Mother, I … I want to go to Dongqing to find my … biological father and brother."
In an instant, the breathing in the room became light. Lu Shiming and Pei shi did not say anything. They only stared blankly at their daughter kneeling in front of them, wondering if they had heard wrongly.
"If I don't leave to find them at this time, there will be no chance in the future. Dad, Mom, I just want to make sure they are still alive …" Ye Zhen did not dare to look up at their faces. She knew that her words would shock and hurt them. She was not sure what to say.
Lu Shiming lowered his eyes to look at the daughter he had raised. If it hadn't been for that accident, he would never have let her know that she wasn't their biological daughter. But all this time, his daughter had never asked who her biological father was. He thought she wouldn't ask or care, but who knew … she already knew.
If she left, would she come back?
Pei-shi could no longer hold back her tears. "Did you hear nonsense from someone? We don't even know who your biological father is. How did you know? Yaoyao, you must not be deceived by others. You are our daughter. "
Ye Zhen sniffed and choked with sobs, "Mother, I've known my life for a long time, but … I just didn't dare to say it."
"Yaoyao, what exactly happened?" Lu Shiming was still relatively calm. Listening to the meaning of his daughter's words, it seemed that her life was not so simple.
"Father, mother, I originally had a twin sister. When I was born, an expert asserted that if we two sisters lived together, one of us would die a violent death. At that time, my sister was weak and on the verge of death. My grandmother cruelly asked the servants at home to send me away. Originally, my grandmother just wanted to send me far away to raise her, but she didn't expect to meet kidnappers on the road and steal me away. When they found me, you had already adopted me … So, my grandmother beat me at my own game and let people secretly look after me in the border town, not letting anyone know of my existence. This is what Ye, who lived next door to our house, told me when I was in the border town."
Ye was the son of the Ye family, sent by Old Madam Ye to take care of Lu Yaoyao.
Lu Shiming looked at his daughter in surprise. They didn't know that Ye, who lived next door, had such an identity. "Why have you never mentioned it to us for so many years?"
"I dare not …" Ye Zhen looked at Lu Shiming with tears. "Father, when I returned to the capital, I learned that my family had been destroyed. How dare I tell them about my life? It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm afraid of implicating you. "
"Who … whose daughter are you?" Pei Shi asked in surprise.
Ye Zhen looked at the couple and said, "Ye Yiqing is my biological father. My twin sister is Ye Zhen, the former Princess of the Emperor."
"…" Lu Shiming's face changed when he heard this. He had imagined his daughter's life but never thought that she would be Ye Yiqing's daughter. No wonder Yan Zhi said last time that Yaoyao looked very much like the Princess of Qin. It turned out that it was not a coincidence.
"How can I dare to say such a life? Although I was not raised by the Ye family, I owe them a debt of gratitude. Father, mother, I know that Ye Yisong has done many evil deeds, but it has nothing to do with my biological father. I've heard others say that Ye Yiqing did not enter the official career. He is a good man. "Ye Zhen explained anxiously, not wanting them to think that her father was a bad person.
Lu Shiming nodded heavily. "I know that Ye Yiqing is a good man, but Yaoyao, they have all been executed. How can they still be alive? Who told you that you saw him in Dongqing? "
Ye Zhen said, "The emperor let my biological father and brother go. No one knew about this. I didn't know their whereabouts until a few days ago. I heard that they might have gone to Dongqing, so I wanted to go and find them …"
"You dead girl, they don't want you anymore. Why are you still looking for them? Then you are heartless and don't want us anymore, aren't you? " Pei Shi burst into tears. She understood her daughter's feelings of wanting to find her biological father, but she couldn't accept her daughter leaving her.
"You will always be my father and mother." Ye Zhen didn't intend to tell the real truth. Let Lu Shiming and the others say that she would be Lu Yaoyao forever. "But, mother … If I don't look for them, I won't be at ease for the rest of my life. The Ye family has been destroyed, and my sister is dead. I … I just want to find them and see them."
Lu Shiming looked at Ye Zhen and asked, "Does your reluctance to enter the palace have anything to do with Princess Qin?"
"Father, I can't let it go." Ye Zhen whispered, unable to let go of the grievances and loneliness she had suffered before. She was deeply afraid of repeating the same mistakes.
"What if you can't find them?" Pei Shi asked.
Ye Zhen took a deep breath. She didn't think about the problem of not being able to find them. After going to Dongqing, she actually didn't plan to come back. "Mother, if I can't find them … I will give up."
Lu Shiming looked at his daughter with a heavy gaze. Now that he knew that his daughter hid so many secrets in her heart, there were some things she didn't say. However, it was enough for her to confess so much to them.
