"What?!"
The three of them gasped in surprise, their eyes wide with disbelief.
"Young Master Gu, what nonsense are you talking about?"
How could Young Master Duan and I be siblings?
My father is Zhong Wanchou of Wanjie Valley, and my mother is Gan Baobao.
Zhong Ling didn't believe it at all.
She had a very good childhood in Wanjie Valley, so it was naturally hard for her to believe that she wasn't her biological child.
Mu Wanqing stared intently at Gu Qianbei.
"My father is Duan Zhengchun, the Prince of Zhennan in Dali? Then I'm my mother?"
Duan Yu's mind was completely in turmoil.
How come I've gained three sisters after only a few days in the martial arts world?
Just how many seeds has my father sown in this world?
This is outrageous.
He didn't doubt Gu Qianbei's words at all, because he knew his father's reputation.
Since Gu Qianbei dared to say that, he must have solid evidence; otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken so casually.
This is also what Duan Yu has learned about Gu Qianbei these past few days.
Cheng Lingsu's pupils contracted slightly, and she picked up a cup of tea and took a sip to calm her nerves.
It seems they've heard something incredible.
interesting.
"I know this is a bit too much for you guys."
But it is absolutely true.
Miss Mu, your mother is your master Qin Hongmian. When she was young, she and Prince Duan fell in love and became husband and wife.
However, Senior Qin was unaware that Prince Duan already had a principal wife, who was also Brother Duan's mother, Dao Baifeng.
Upon learning this news, Senior Qin left in anger and never saw Prince Duan again.
Later she found out she was pregnant with you and gave birth to you.
During his search for your mother, Prince Duan met your mother's junior sister, Gan Baobao, who is also Miss Zhong's mother.
They fell in love again, and that's how Miss Zhong came to be.
For the same reason, Senior Gan was unable to be with Prince Duan.
But then she became pregnant again.
Left with no other choice, she married Zhong Wanchou to silence the rumors and give Miss Zhong a healthy family.
After Gu Qianbei finished speaking, everyone present was once again stunned.
This news was so explosive that they couldn't process it all at once.
"Dao Baifeng...is your mother named Dao Baifeng?"
Mu Wanqing turned to question Duan Yu, who nodded repeatedly.
"No wonder my master told me to kill anyone named Dao Baifeng if I encountered her; so that's why."
Mu Wanqing murmured to herself, her face full of a bitter smile.
It turns out that his biological mother had always been by his side, but she was unwilling to acknowledge him.
She realized that she did have parents, but they were only concerned with their own love affairs and didn't care about her feelings at all.
For a moment, Mu Wanqing felt only mockery.
What do they think of themselves?
"So, my father didn't know that my mother was pregnant when she married him?"
Zhong Ling asked incredulously.
"Perhaps he knows, perhaps he doesn't. But your father is deeply in love with your mother, and regardless of whether you are his biological child or not, he will love everything about you because of your mother."
By the way, do you also have a rule that people with the surname Duan are not allowed to enter your house?
This is the reason.
Your father knew about the relationship between your mother and Prince Duan, which is why he set up those rules in Wanjie Valley.
Zhong Ling felt that everything made sense now.
No wonder Wanjie Valley has such strange rules; it turns out it's because of this.
"Wanmei, Ling'er, I never imagined you were both my sisters."
Duan Yu gave an awkward smile.
"Who wants to be your sister!"
Mu Wanqing was furious. She kicked Duan Yu and then pushed open the door and left the room.
"Ouch."
Duan Yu cried out in pain, wanting to chase after him but giving up because of the pain in his foot.
"Wanmei has quite a temper."
"It would be strange if Sister Mu didn't get angry after hearing this news."
It's all your dad's fault!
What kind of nonsense is this?
Zhong Ling complained.
She was quite easygoing and quickly accepted the situation.
Anyway, people have always said that she doesn't look like her father, and now it's been confirmed.
"Miss Mu's condition is somewhat dangerous. Should we just leave her alone?"
Cheng Lingsu spoke softly, her words naturally intended for Gu Qianbei to hear.
"She knows to handle these things on her own. If there are other people around, she might just feel like they're watching a joke."
The best way is for her parents to have a proper talk with her; only then can they resolve her inner conflict.
Gu Qianbei looked at Duan Yu as he spoke.
"Brother Duan, perhaps there are more important things waiting for you to do now than going to Mantuo Manor."
"I understand. This mess was left by my father, and I have to help him clean it up."
"If my dad knew he had so many daughters, he'd be beaming with joy."
The Duan family is sparsely populated in this generation. Apart from Duan Yu, there are no other sons or daughters, let alone any legitimate sons or illegitimate sons.
The sudden addition of so many princess sisters is indeed a good thing for the Dali royal family.
However, in doing so, Duan Yu is almost becoming like Jia Baoyu.
Just then, a middle-aged scholar walked in.
"Brother Zhu! What brings you here?"
Duan Yu clearly recognized the man and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
The person who arrived was Zhu Danchen, one of Duan Zhengchun's four chief retainers.
"Your Highness! We've finally found you! Your sudden departure from home has worried the Prince terribly."
That's why they specifically sent me out to find you.
It took me a lot of effort to find out that you were in the Wuliang Sword Sect.
You can't run around now, you'd better come back with me obediently.
The prince said he'd tie you up and take you back, even if it meant being bound.
Zhu Danchen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Duan Yu, and then launched into a long, rambling monologue.
In the past, Duan Yu would definitely have planned to run away, but now that these things have happened, he has no choice but to go back.
Recognizing a younger sister is one thing, but going back also requires mediating the conflict between parents.
Otherwise, his mother would definitely be furious.
"Brother Zhu, don't worry, I will definitely go back with you this time."
"Is the young master serious? Or are you trying to lie to me again?"
Seeing Duan Yu being so honest, Zhu Danchen was somewhat surprised and felt that something was not right.
"I'm not lying to you. Something just happened."
Duan Yu immediately told Zhu Danchen about Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling, and Zhu Danchen looked incredulous.
But he quickly accepted this arrangement.
Back when Duan Zhengchun was philandering, his four brothers witnessed it all firsthand.
They were used to this kind of thing.
Their prince was too charming; there was nothing they could do about it.
"I see. Then I need to go back."
"Your Highness, let's set off tomorrow."
"it is good."
With everything settled, everyone returned to their rooms.
On the rooftop, Mu Wanqing sat quietly, hugging her knees with her hands, tears still visible in the corners of her eyes, looking as if she were questioning the meaning of life.
The emotions have been vented; now all that's left is confusion.
Suddenly, a green robe was draped over her shoulders, startling her.
"Still haven't figured it out?"
Gu Qianbei sat down next to Mu Wanqing and asked with a smile.
Mu Wanqing quickly wiped away her tears, not wanting Gu Qianbei to see her in such a disheveled state. At the same time, she sniffed, putting on a wronged yet feignedly strong appearance.
"I'm fine."
"Your condition is written all over your face, so why pretend nothing's wrong?"
I know you have a lot of grievances to express right now, and what you need isn't someone to comfort you, but this.
Gu Qianbei took out a wine gourd and handed it to Mu Wanqing.
"A good drink can wash away a thousand sorrows. Want to give it a try?"
