Soon, news spread that the King of the West was getting married soon, but the princess-to-be was not the expected daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace, Li Xueyun, but a woman from Jingmin Pavilion.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty." After receiving this news, Mo Qinghan was happy for Dai Xiao. He would be happy if Dai Xiao was happy.
At this time, Ximen Zhe was very proud and said with a smile, "I want Xiaodie to recognize her ancestor and return to the clan, and change her surname to Ximen."
"Then the prince must give Xiaodie a good name." Mo Qinghan said.
Plum Blossom Garden.
"Princess, this wedding dress is so beautiful, even better than the one Miss Li wore last time." The maid who was serving Dai Xiao to try on her dress praised her.
"You're honored." Dai Xiao smiled sheepishly. Even she had to admit that this wedding dress was very beautiful. When worn on her body, it made her look like an earthly fairy. She looked at the charming woman in the mirror.
, is that really you?
"The prince asked the most skilled craftsmen in the palace to make this wedding dress. It is a level that only the queen can obtain. The one Miss Li wore last time was only made by the embroiderer given by the emperor." The maid said.
"Xiao Ling, can't you mention Miss Li less?" Another maid whispered.
"This slave is just letting the princess know her place in the prince's heart," Xiaoling pouted.
"It's broken, it's broken!" While they were joking, a little maid ran into the house in a panic.
"You little girl, why are you making such a fuss on such a festive day?" Xiaoling scolded the little maid for her ignorance.
The little maid took a breath and said, "Master Zuo is here. He is clamoring for the princess in the hall. He said that the princess is his and the prince cannot touch her. Now Concubine Yao and the young prince are in a stalemate in the hall!"
Zuo Linfan!
Dai Xiao was shocked and stood there blankly.
"Mom!" Xiao Die pulled Dai Xiao's hand and shouted softly.
"I...go and have a look..." Dai Xiao obviously lacked confidence when she said this. She did not dare to see Zuo Linfan, but Zuo Linfan came because of her and made a big fuss in the West Prince's Mansion. She also
You can't keep hiding and not showing up.
"Mom, I'll go with you." Xiaodie said.
"Okay, Xiaodie." Dai Xiao took off her wedding clothes, her movements were trembling slightly, and she couldn't hide her panic.
"Princess, why don't you wait for the prince first?" Xiaoling said. Although Ximenzhe is not in the palace at this time, I believe someone has gone to report to him and he will be back soon.
"No, I have to go. I can't let Concubine Yao support me." Dai Xiao gritted her teeth and decided to deal with Zuo Linfan herself. Now she is about to marry into the Xiwang Palace. Although Zuo Linfan is strong, he
Do you really dare to snatch her away from Prince Xi's Mansion?
"Qiu Ran!"
Before Dai Xiao could reach the door of the hall, Zuo Linfan had already seen him. With a glance, he grabbed her in and held her wrist tightly with his strong fingers.
Dai Xiao's face, which was slightly pale due to fear, turned even whiter due to the pain on her wrist.
"Is this Miss Dai?" Someone on the side of the hall said in a scrutinizing and somewhat contemptuous tone.
Dai Xiao didn't have time to speak since she appeared, but was robbed of her words. Following the sound, she looked at the person who asked the question first, and it turned out that it was the prime minister. Dai Xiao had seen him from a distance at the banquet that day, but she didn't expect that he would also come to the West Prince's Mansion.
, are you here to seek an explanation for his daughter?
"Yes, she is my mother!" Xiaodie said loudly, standing next to Dai Xiao, watching Zuo Linfan warily.
"Concubine Yao, your granddaughter really has the style of the King of the West." Li Chengyi stroked his beard and smiled, glancing at Dai Xiao, "But how can this mother compare to my Xueyun?"
"Master Li, Qiu Ran is mine no matter what, you are going too far by saying this." Zuo Linfan slightly raised the corners of his lips, with a bit of coldness in his evil expression.
"Lin Fan, you misunderstood me." Li Chengyi smiled. He naturally knew that Qiuran was Dai Xiao's original name. "What I mean is that Xueyun has been devoted to Xi Wang for so many years. Even if she did something wrong, it was for
King Xi, but Dai Xiao, she is yours and she wants to be the Princess of the West. This is not clear. Concubine Yao, do you think so?"
"Dai Xiao, what's going on?" Princess Yao asked, something happened suddenly and she didn't know what to do.
The wedding is about to take place, Zuo Linfan comes to the West Palace to ask for someone, and the prime minister is speaking for Li Xueyun again. Due to the sudden change of Princess Xi, the Palace of the West has fallen into the laughter of the world, and now Zuo Linfan has intervened, it is simply
Everything was in chaos. It was really difficult for a woman like her who had never been in charge of anything to hold up the scene. She couldn't help but turn her attention to Ximen Yichen, hoping that this grown-up grandson could stand up and take charge of things for her.
"You ask her, how can she speak out?" Li Chengyi sneered, "An orphan girl accepted the kindness of Prince Rui's Mansion and was fostered in Zuo Mansion. She spent some effort to get the care of Mr. Zuo, and now she has a partner.
After I went to Xiwang, I disappeared inexplicably for five years. I don’t know what happened!”
"No! I didn't!" Dai Xiao finally grabbed the words and defended herself, "I was raised by Uncle Zuo, and he was kind to me in raising me, and Mr. Zuo——"
"How am I?" Zuo Linfan held Dai Xiao's hand tightly, lowered his head, looked down at Dai Xiao, and a charming voice floated from his thin lips, "Tell me, who am I to you?"
"You are..." Dai Xiao raised her eyes and looked at this evil face, with arrogance, and the imprisonment of her five fingers reminded her of her belonging, as if she could never escape from his palm.
Brother Lin Fan, he was the one who forced her to call her that way, but she really didn't want to call him that at this time. In addition to having a strong sense of domineering, such a title would not be acceptable to outsiders under the current circumstances.
What is avoided will add another layer of ambiguous meaning.
"Who am I?" Zuo Linfan asked again, holding Dai Xiao tightly was holding everything he had.
He had been searching since the last time Dai Xiao was taken away by a mysterious person in Xia Feng's hands, and finally found the West Prince's Mansion. He thought Li Xueyun could drive Dai Xiao out of the West Prince's Mansion, but he overestimated that woman's power.
Ability, what they got was the news that Ximen Zhe was going to marry Dai Xiao. In the end, her father had to take action in person, and he couldn't wait any longer, so he decided to enter the West Prince's Mansion with Li Chengyi.
"You are her brother!"
Dai Xiao did not answer. Someone had already answered on her behalf, with a loud voice and a familiar kindness.
"Uncle Zuo!" Dai Xiao looked back at the visitor and called.
"Grandpa!" Xiaodie ran to Zuo Mingyang and begged, "Let the bad boy let my mother go. You are his father. You have to discipline him and don't let him bully my mother."
"Xiaodie, be good." Zuo Mingyang picked up Xiaodie and walked towards Concubine Yao, "Please forgive me for my rudeness. The traitor is causing trouble here, so I had to rush into the palace."
"Prince Rui is here just in time." Although she had never met Zuo Mingyang, Princess Yao guessed his identity and nodded.
"Father, why are you here?" Zuo Linfan asked nonchalantly. He did not reveal the news about Dai Xiao to Zuo Mingyang, but he knew it, and he had nothing to say after finding it here.
"You don't want me to come, don't you? If I don't come, how can I see you bullying your sister again!" Zuo Mingyang is really helpless towards this son's persistence. It seems that he has to tell the secret that he has hidden for many years to get success.
It's over.
"Yes, Qiuran is my sister, how can I bear to bully her? I wanted to protect her but it was too late." Zuo Linfan smiled and said, "Father, you are overly worried."
"It's not that I was overly worried, but I didn't think carefully enough at the beginning. I didn't expect that you would place your heart on Qiu Ran today. Therefore, in front of everyone today, I'd better tell the truth to prevent you from making a big mistake."
Zuo Mingyang said.
"What's the truth?" Zuo Linfan asked, looking at Zuo Mingyang with an expression of painful decision, he must be hiding a lot of secrets.
Zuo Mingyang looked at Xiaodie in his arms, his eyes full of doting, "Lin Fan, did you know? This child is my granddaughter, my biological granddaughter!"
"What!" Zuo Linfan's hand froze, and his fingers loosened from Dai Xiao's grip. Although he had expected that what Zuo Mingyang was about to say must be related to Dai Xiao, he did not expect that it would be like this -
Xiaodie is his biological granddaughter, but what about Qiuran? Is she his biological daughter?!
Zuo Linfan couldn't believe it and didn't want to admit his guess, but Zuo Mingyang didn't give him a chance to deny it.
"Yes, Qiuran is my biological daughter." Zuo Mingyang said calmly, feeling relieved after telling the secret that he had hidden for many years.
"Uncle Zuo!" Dai Xiao was also stunned. Suddenly, the person she regarded as a father-in-law turned out to be her biological father?
"No!" Zuo Linfan came back to his senses in an instant and sneered, "You must not want me to have Qiu Ran, so you made up this lie. I am your son, and I know that I love Qiu Ran, why are you doing this?
Are you so cruel that you want to tear us apart?"
"You are my son, how can I not want you to have your own love, but Qiuran is really your biological sister, I can't just watch you do things worse than animals. If I hadn't watched you get deeper and deeper into
"Shen, how can I ignore this old face and tell the scandal I did back then?" Zuo Mingyang said sincerely that the incident back then was a stain on his life and he didn't want outsiders to know about it, but for his son, he
I can only say it.
"What scandalous things have you done?" Zuo Linfan asked.
"When your mother-in-law died of illness, I was depressed and drank to relieve my sorrow. One night, something happened. Your aunt, your mother-in-law's sister, came to see you. It happened to rain, so she stayed overnight at Prince Rui's Mansion.
When I was drunk, I actually thought your aunt was your mother-in-law, so——" Zuo Mingyang's eyes were blurred, recalling his heartache when his wife died of illness, and also recalling the madness that night. He could not remember the drunken night.
It was clear, but the scene after sobering up was still vivid in my mind.
"So, there is Qiu Ran?" Zuo Linfan felt that the sky he was holding on to was about to collapse. If his father could say such a thing, it must be true. If it were not the truth, how could he slander himself like this?
