Chapter 428 Let Me Finish
Chapter 428 Let Me Finish
The main hall of Xie Mansion.
Xie Leqing sat in the main seat, Nangong Hao sat alone on the left, and Pei Wanwan, Ye Tianlan and Pei Guangguang sat on the right.
The strange thing was that none of them spoke, and there was no servant serving them inside.
When Shen Wanwan returned to the Xie Mansion, she felt that the atmosphere of the entire mansion was weird, but she was worried about something, so she didn't think much about it. She asked the servants and learned that the masters were all in the main hall of the main courtyard, so she went straight to the main courtyard and entered the main hall.
"Royal brother, you are here indeed. Come with me quickly. Only you can handle his situation."
Shen Wanwan said this, and without saying anything, she pulled Ye Tianlan's hand and was about to walk out.
Pei Wanwan suddenly stood up from her chair and took two steps at a time to stand in front of the two men.
"Le Yao, you can't leave. What will I do if you leave?"
When her cousin the Crown Prince was around, she at least had some company. If Le Yao took him away as well, it would be too embarrassing for her to continue staying here.
Shen Wanwan paused, "Wanwan, stop making trouble. I have something to do and I need to take my brother away immediately. Don't get in my way."
"But I..."
Pei Wanwan leaned close to Shen Wanwan's ear and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "The King of Pingnan is here. Once you leave, it will be just me and their family of three. I'm scared."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wanwan turned her head to look to the other side, and saw that Prince Pingnan had really come.
It's outrageous that I didn't notice such a grown person sitting there just now.
She blinked and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Is it possible that your father and Guangguang's father are the same person?"
Shen Wanwan told Pei Wanwan about her guess yesterday, and also said that she would go to the Dali Temple prison to find Pei Bailiang to confirm it.
Although she was unable to enter the marble prison, she was able to infer the conclusion from the guards' words.
However, the inferences made based on the fragmentary words heard from others must ultimately be confirmed by the person responsible for the matter.
"Perhaps I can ask my aunt privately. I suspect that scumbag Pei Boliang was so shameless that he sent his newlywed wife to the bed of Prince Pingnan."
Shen Wanwan blinked, "But these are just my guesses. If I really ask my aunt about this, I'll undoubtedly be exposing her scars."
In fact, she was not willing to tell Wanwan the cruel truth. She didn't know whether she should be thankful or consider herself unlucky after encountering such a thing.
When Pei Wanwan heard this, her face changed obviously, and she felt very complicated at this moment.
She could not choose her birth, could not choose her biological father, and did not know what happened in the past, but she could clearly feel that the relationship between her mother and King Pingnan was extremely delicate.
She hated Pei Bailiang, but she also didn't like Prince Pingnan. Her mother was such a good person, why was there never a normal person among the people she met?
Shen Wanwan had already pulled Ye Tianlan out quickly. Pei Wanwan took a step to follow, but Nangong Hao suddenly called her to stop.
"Wan'er, don't leave yet. This king has something to say."
He had finally waited until there were no outsiders around. If he didn't tell her that he was her biological father as soon as possible, he might not have the chance to step into the Xie Mansion next time.
Pei Wanwan's steps paused slightly, but she did not turn around. "If it's about the young master, I told you before the prince came in that he has not been to the Xie Mansion today."
Nangong Hao frowned. Is Yu'er really not here? If that kid isn't here, then where could he have gone?
"We agreed yesterday that he would come over to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival with you today. He left without waiting for me to return home. Where else could he go if he wasn't here?"
Nangong Hao still felt that Pei Wanwan was deliberately deceiving him because she rejected him. "Wan'er, this may be hard for you to accept, but I am actually your and Guangguang's biological father. Back then, you..."
Xie Leqing suddenly stood up from his chair and said anxiously, "The young master is missing. Your Majesty, why didn't you send someone to look for him quickly? You actually have the mind to come here and wait for food?"
It was one thing for her to guess what had happened back then, but it was another for him to say it out loud in front of the children. How could he possibly speak of those unbearable past events in front of the children?
"Qing'er, let me finish. It was my fault back then..."
"Of course it's your fault!"
The mother and her two daughters said in unison.
Nangong Hao looked at the three of them in astonishment, not knowing where to put his hands for a moment.
He was really wrong back then, so wrong!
I can only blame myself for not daring to look into my own heart too late. At that time, I was simply a blockhead. I had clearly already decided on her and wanted to marry her, but I acted as if I hated her so much.
What woman can stand him like that?
It wasn't until he received the news that she was getting married that he finally came to his senses, but it was too late to fight for her.
