“You’re too polite. You don’t have to be so reserved in front of us. Tell us, what do you need us to help you with?” Dongfang Ruyan still looked at Su Qian with a face full of affection.
“Regarding the series of events about my mother, I hope both of you can keep it confidential for now. Don’t inform the people on my grandfather’s side yet.” At the mention of the Nangong family, a hint of pity flashed across Su Qian’s eyes.
If Su Qian was afraid, then the only thing she was worried about was that the Nangong family would find out about this.
“Xue’er isn’t dead. This is a good thing. Why should we hide it from them?” Dongfang Ruyan’s gaze drifted, and the smile on her face looked very gentle. “I know your grandparents. They miss your mother the most. If they know that your mother is still alive, they will definitely be very happy.”
When Su Qian heard this, she narrowed her eyes sharply and said coldly, “Then what if my mother indeed passed away back then, the coffin with no corpse, and someone stole the corpse?”
Su Qian’s words instantly made the smile on the couple’s faces disappear completely.
“Are you worried that Qingxue is really dead and that someone stole her body?” Shen Duoyi thought about that scene and suddenly felt a little scared.
“How could that be? Who would do such a thing?” Dongfang Ruyan’s smile looked somewhat unnatural, clearly afraid of Su Qian’s words.
“It’s hard to say. If it really was just someone who stole the body, then what we said would give my grandfather false hope. At that time, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. I don’t want them to have inexplicable expectations before I find clues to confirm the situation.” Su Qian knew very well how much the Nangong family valued Nangong Qingxue.
It was precisely because of this that she couldn’t say it. Otherwise, if Nangong Qingxue was really dead and her body was stolen, the Nangong family would definitely collapse.
She didn’t want her family to be battered and bruised in the end because of those slim hopes.
Dongfang Ruyan and Shen Duoyi finally understood Su Qian’s intentions after hearing this.
“It’s too thoughtful of you to think so much about making things difficult for a child like you.” Dongfang Ruyan sniffed and raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes. She said firmly, “Alright, you’ve put in a lot of effort. As your aunt, how can I not fulfill your filial piety? Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone about this.”
“Thank you.” Su Qian was relieved and then bid farewell to the couple then returned to her room to rest.
The next morning, before Su Qian had a chance to have her meal, she heard her subordinate report that Xiao Yan had arrived.
Su Qian was confused when she heard this. “Why did he come so early? Wasn’t the dinner with the Empress Dowager in the evening?”
As soon as Su Qian finished speaking, Xiao Yan came in from outside the door in a wheelchair. “Indeed, the appointment with Imperial Grandmother was for dinner, but it was last night, not tonight.”
“Didn’t I tell Your Highness? I suddenly had something very important to deal with last night, so I had no choice but to postpone the appointment..” Su Qian saw that Xiao Yan was silent and couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “Could it be that the Empress Dowager is angry?”
