Reborn as an abandoned daughter, she became a stunning genius

"You might as well tell Mr. Zhou that the purpose of my visit to Prince Yu's Mansion this time is this fire lotus seed." Jiang Ning said bluntly.

"If you tell me this, you are not afraid that I will use this fire lotus seed to threaten you to do other things?" Zhou Hong asked.

"I think Mr. Zhou will not betray my trust, right?" Jiang Ning chuckled.

Zhou Hong took back the fire lotus seeds, left a few words, and turned around to leave.

"See you outside the city in the afternoon."

After Zhou Hong left, Jiang Ning was about to return to the banquet. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, Qin Wenyu appeared outside the lakeside pavilion. He looked at Jiang Ning with red eyes and a complicated expression.

Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows and asked, "Miss Qin, do you want to see me?"

"Mr. Jiang." Qin Wenyu walked into the pavilion and kept looking at Jiang Ning's face.

"Miss Qin, please speak up if you have anything to say. Why are you looking at me like this?" Jiang Ning said.

"I..." Qin Wenyu just started to speak, but before he could finish his words, tears began to fall down.

"No... no, Miss Qin, why are you crying?" Jiang Ning looked at Qin Wenyu and stood there in a panic and at a loss.

Qin Wenyu didn't say anything, and his tears kept falling like a flood.

"Miss Qin, if you have any worries, you can tell me. There is no need to keep it in your heart." Jiang Ning tried his best to smile, but Qin Wenyu still kept crying.

"Well, Miss Qin, how about I help you call your brother? Let him comfort you?" Jiang Ning racked his brains and said.

"...Don't." Qin Wenyu finally spoke, with sobs in his tone.

But at least, I didn't cry as much as before.

"Miss Qin, what's bothering you?" Jiang Ning tried to slow down his voice and said gently.

Qin Wenyu shook his head and nodded again.

In the past, if someone kept crying in front of Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning would definitely turn away and leave.

But Qin Wenyu...that's all, after all, he was a relative that Qin Nian once valued.

The two of them sat in front of the stone table. Jiang Ning waited until Qin Wenyu had cried enough before slowly speaking.

"If you don't mind, you can tell me your troubles."

Qin Wenyu wiped his red eyes with a handkerchief, looked at Jiang Ning, and spoke slowly.

"I used to...have a very good sister, but then I lost her."

"We grew up together. I have an impulsive personality and always get into trouble. Whenever I was punished by my father for shutting up and thinking about things, she would secretly visit me. At that time, we were still young and the windows were so high that we couldn't reach them. She wanted to Accompany me, don’t let me be lonely, always bring a stool, stand on the stool, lie on the window edge, look at me and talk to me, and also bring me delicious food.”

As Qin Wenyu spoke slowly, Jiang Ning's thoughts couldn't help but enter Qin Nian's memory.

"Later when we grew up, the head of the family arranged for us to test our cultivation talents. I had it, but she didn't. She smiled and said she didn't care, but I knew she was very sad. After the news spread that she had no cultivation talents, the clan Some unpleasant words gradually appeared in her heart. Because she was young and had a soft temper, she never pursued them. Those people became more and more unruly, and some even ridiculed her as a waste in front of her. At that time, I was busy with the tasks my father had arranged for me every day. Coursework, by the time I knew that, a month had passed."

"I wanted to avenge her, but she comforted me and told me not to be angry. Later, I competed with a peer in the clan and I lost. That person called me a waste in front of everyone. Everyone She was the only one who was laughing. She walked up to the stage without hesitation and asked the man to apologize to me. It was the first time that she used her status as the heir of the family to put pressure on someone. The man apologized to me under pressure, but there were more rumors behind his back. Bad rumors about her."

"The heir to the family head who has no talent for cultivation actually bullies others. As soon as the rumors spread, she cannot be suppressed. More and more people in the clan hate her and despise her. But she comforted me with a smile and told me not to worry about distractions and practice well. "

"At that time, I made up my mind to practice well and protect her all my life. Until I was 14 years old, I accidentally overheard the conversation between my father and brother. They planned to poison the head of the family, drive away the heir, and seize the position of the head of the family. My eavesdropping was discovered by them, and they were afraid that I would tell the family head and heir, so they locked me up."

"When I was released a month later, things had changed in the clan. The head of the family died. The head of the family was succeeded by his younger brother, my father, and the heir to the head of the family became my brother. As for her, no one knew her. I asked my father and brother about her whereabouts, but they were unwilling to tell me, and no one in the clan cared about her whereabouts. I was the only one who searched for her for three years, but found nothing."

After Qin Wenyu finished saying this, he looked straight at Jiang Ning.

"When I was a child, I was afraid of thunder. Whenever it rained, she would sleep with me. I remember clearly that she had two small red moles behind her right ear. I never told her about this, even She doesn’t even know it herself.”

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Qin Wen and said, "Is this Miss Qin's trouble?"

Qin Wenyu shook his head, looked at Jiang Ning intently, and asked, "Do you think she will come back? I don't ask her to forgive me. I just want to see her again and say sorry to her in person."

Jiang Ning fell into silence.

After a long time, Jiang Ning said, "She won't come back, but I guess she will forgive you."

Jiang Ning knew that when Qin Nian was sent away from the Qin family, what he was most worried about was Qin Wenyu, who had been missing for a month.

No matter how Qin Wenyu's father and brother treated her, Qin Nian always firmly believed that Qin Wenyu treated her sincerely.

Jiang Ning didn't know whether what Qin Wenyu said now was true or false, but if it were Qin Nian, she would definitely choose to believe and forgive Qin Wenyu.

Jiang Ning's words made Qin Wenyu burst into tears again, and his emotions completely lost control. The guilt, apologies, and worries that had been accumulated in his heart for the past three years all exploded at this moment.

"Nian Nian... I'm sorry, I'm really... sorry." Qin Wenyu kept apologizing.

This time Jiang Ning did not comfort her, but let her cry freely.

After crying for an unknown amount of time, Qin Wenyu finally stopped. She looked at Jiang Ning and asked.

"Is she really not coming back?"

"The former Qin Nian is dead."

"What has she experienced in the past three years?"

"Very bitter."

Qin Wenyu looked at the person in front of him. He hadn't seen him for three years, and his appearance had changed a lot.

She didn't know what her Niannian had gone through in the past three years, how much hardship she had endured, how many tribulations she had gone through, why she pretended to be a man, and how she had the talent for cultivation.

But these are no longer important to Qin Wenyu now.

As long as you know that Nian Nian is still alive and well, it's okay if the Qin family, that indifferent place full of painful memories, doesn't come back.
