Help! The Frosty Noble's Son Is in Love With Me!-Chapter 371: Unbelievable and Cautious

"The servant girl didn’t see wrong, really too much alike."

In the Empress Dowager’s bedroom, the Empress Dowager, who was originally absent from the palace banquet due to discomfort, looked at Nanny Lai, "Alike? Royal offspring, it’s no small matter, not something you can confirm just because you think it’s alike."

Nanny Lai kneeled on the ground, "The Empress Dowager has never seen Miss Biyue, although there are portraits, the portraits don’t capture half of her true spirit, that child is really too much alike, I served Miss Biyue since she was young, I can’t be mistaken, even the mole at the corner of her eye is exactly like Miss Biyue’s."

How could she possibly mistake it? Anyone could be mistaken, but not her, her life was saved by the miss, how could she mistake her child?

She only had no other evidence to prove it, which was truly distressing.

Back then, on the way to the capital, they encountered danger, the emperor left a large force to them, she took the miss through a shortcut because the miss was heavily pregnant, traveling was slow, plus there were traitors among the entourage, under the cover of other guards, she took the miss to flee, got lost in the mountains, and yet they encountered a girl who fell into a trap, they were already running for their lives, Nanny Lai didn’t want to bother with others, it was the miss who insisted on saving her, after pulling her up, the girl also took them out of the mountains, eventually getting to eat warm hot meals.

But they couldn’t stay, otherwise, assassins would catch up, not only their lives would be forfeit, but the household would be implicated, so she prepared to take the miss to continue traveling, but the miss couldn’t move anymore, unable to continue traveling, thus Nanny Lai, to protect the miss, donned the miss’s clothes, intended to lure away the enemies, giving the miss a greater chance to survive.

Later when she went back, most of the people in the village were slaughtered, it was done by King Jie’s men, the temperament of King Jie, rather mistakenly kill a thousand than spare one, extremely cruel.

Nanny Lai searched desperately but couldn’t find the corpse of that household, nor the miss’s corpse, thus Nanny Lai thought they must have escaped.

Anything further she didn’t know, over the years that had passed, she had not seen the miss again.

Now seeing the young miss, she knew her previous speculation was correct, the miss had survived that ordeal, now the young miss appeared, then what about the miss?

"She died."

Li Niang looked ahead, as if immersed in far-off memories.

"Died in childbirth, not long after the child was born, she breathed her last."

"Before she passed, she gave me all her valuable possessions, this Jade Pendant was one of them, only as she held the Jade Pendant, she couldn’t finish her sentence before passing."

"I knew her intention, she meant to have me find a good family for the child, at the time our whole family was fleeing, and indeed it wasn’t convenient to take a child, so I left the child at the temple gate, thinking once we settled, I’d go retrieve the child, that child was so beautiful, my parents were willing to take her as their daughter, but when we stabilized, the child was gone."

"This Jade Pendant, I hadn’t had the chance to give it to the child, fearing at the time that it was too precious for the child to wear, if taken it wouldn’t be good, so I held on to it, little did I know there would be no chance to give it."

"All these years, I often dreamed of her, she was too perfect, never in my life have I met someone as perfect as she was, back then when I fell into the trap meant for wild animals, in the remote wilderness, my cries went unanswered, if it weren’t for her insistence to save me, I’d have lost my life a long time ago, later I learned they were fleeing for their lives, yet even so, she insisted on saving me, such a person was truly too kind, alas the heavens envy beauty. Over the years due to guilt in my heart, I set up a memorial for her, offering sacrifices daily, just hoping to find that child soon."

But ultimately, she herself went through marriage and childbirth, now her parents, husband, and children are all gone, yet she never found that child.

Unexpectedly, heaven never seals all exits.

Mrs. Li, upon hearing Li Niang’s words, was also shocked beyond words.

She truly hadn’t imagined that the child Li Niang painstakingly searched for all these years was the very child that her sister took away.

Even their meeting was so coincidental, it happened during the escape, overcoming difficulties together, unknowingly they had more connections.

It’s just a pity, Fulan’s mother is gone.

"Did her mother have any standing, does anyone know who her father is?" Mrs. Li asked.

Li Niang shook her head, "Her attire didn’t look like that of a poor family’s child, they didn’t specify any status, but it should be quite significant, to have invited disaster, perhaps some enemy is unknown."

"No matter what, we must tell Fulan the truth, she has the right to know as the person involved, perhaps the Pei Mansion’s extensive network can eventually find her family." Mrs. Li said.

Li Niang nodded.

Meanwhile, on Qu Fulan’s side, upon seeing her take the stage, there were all sorts of comments.

Of course, all unified as unfavorable, previously when everyone thought it was Heir Pei on stage, there were already so many negative remarks, let alone Qu Fulan.

She could hear those unfriendly voices, just treated them as wind past her ears.

Some people just enjoy denying others without cause, she hadn’t even started doing anything, yet so much disparagement, aren’t they afraid of face-slapping later?

Not only were her people doubtful, even the foreign princess frowned while looking at Qu Fulan, just about to say something.

Qu Fulan, without any futile words, directly picked up the princess’s deck, and promptly shuffled it three times before the crowd.

Yes, within the blink of an eye, she shuffled three times.

Shuffled forwards, reversed, and crisscrossed.

As the saying goes, when an expert makes a move, it’s known if they have it.

With Qu Fulan’s performance, others’ thoughts remained unknown, but directly saying, the foreign princess was stunned.

That skillful technique, she had been learning for so many years and hadn’t reached that ease.

Qu Fulan didn’t just shuffle cards, she quickly started her own performance.

First replicating the foreign princess’s previous magic, having the same person draw a card, eventually accurately locating the card.

This already shocked everyone present, she actually knew?!

Those who intended to disparage her swallowed their words, faces flushed red.

The foreign princess’s face also flushed red, embarrassed by the magic being uncovered.

After reproducing the princess’s trick, she began her own tricks.

Her tricks were simple, similar to the face-changing scenes in Peking Opera, she transformed cards.

Holding the shuffled cards in her hand, left hand holding cards, right hand covering, each cover switched cards effortlessly, seamlessly, with no flaws, not only were nearby people gasping in amazement, the princess opposite wore a shocked expression.

Qu Fulan consecutively played several tricks such as repeatedly producing the same card, but in reality, there’s only one card.

How it was done, perhaps only she knew.

The foreign princess couldn’t see any flaws, not to mention others.

Silence enveloped the surroundings.

It was evident Qu Fulan’s magic had stunned the audience.

But in truth—

"Biy—Biyue?"

The emperor without anyone noticing had already approached Qu Fulan closely, with disbelief and some caution spoke up.
