Chapter 420: The Young Master of the Jiang Family
"Everything we found out is here. That Madam Xun has been taking care of Qin Suyi all these years and has given her countless amounts of money."
"In the eyes of outsiders, Qin Suyi is an orphan without a father or a mother, but in reality, she lives just like a daughter of a wealthy family. She never has to do housework and has a maid to serve her."
"But that nanny died of illness two years ago."
Xiao Lan reported respectfully.
Jiang Ningwan looked through what Xiao Lan had found, which included account books and prescriptions. The medicines for colds and flu were not cheap.
Xiao Lan added, "There's something very strange. We investigated the doctor who prescribed medicine to Qin Suyi, and when we asked about this person, he actually addressed her as Miss Xiao."
Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan and Qin Shuangchi were both shocked.
The two looked at each other.
Jiang Ningwan blurted out, "Could this Qin Suyi actually be the illegitimate daughter of Princess Yi?"
"The Yi Wangfei's surname is Xiao, and the one who has been taking care of Qin Suyi these years is Nanny Xun who is beside the Yi Wangfei."
"Given Princess Yi's personality, it's impossible for her to take care of Prince Yi's illegitimate daughter."
Qin Shuangchi nodded thoughtfully, "That's the truth."
"But Qin Beihuang took Princess Yi's illegitimate daughter home with such fanfare, but lied that she was Prince Yi's illegitimate daughter. Was it to protect Qin Suyi?"
Jiang Ningwan frowned and thought, "I can't say for sure."
"Keep checking."
Xiao Lan responded respectfully, "Yes!"
To Jiang Ningwan's surprise, she received Qin Suyi's invitation the next day.
Invite her to Tianxinglou for a gathering.
Jiang Ningwan had no reason not to go.
The next night, they arrived at Tianxing Tower.
Unexpectedly, Qin Suyi booked the entire Tianxing Tower and hosted a banquet for many young men and daughters from wealthy families.
Although she was not familiar with the people in Kyoto, everyone spoke to her warmly and familiarly for the princess's sake, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Jiang Ningwan sat down and listened to them quietly.
Several young ladies surrounded Qin Suyi and praised her, "Your Highness, this dress is really beautiful. Is it made of Mantingfang material? I heard it's hard to buy."
Qin Suyi smiled and said, "My brother bought it for me."
"General Qin is so kind to the princess. I've never seen General Qin be so kind to that Qin Jianjian."
"The princess's outfit is all a testament to General Qin's love for her!"
Jiang Ningwan took a look and saw that Qin Suyi's clothes were all fashionable in Kyoto, and none of them were cheap.
Even when Qin Jianjian was at his most extravagant, he had never enjoyed such a thing.
Doesn’t Prince Yi’s Mansion have no money?
I heard he still owes debts.
How could Qin Beihuang be willing to spend so much money on Qin Suyi?
Even if there are rewards for being named a princess, they won’t be that much.
"My brother loves me and wants to give me the best." Qin Suyi smiled, but her eyes were full of pride and complacency.
Someone jokingly asked, "What about the princess's marriage? Do you have any candidates? I have two brothers, both of whom are still unmarried and about the same age as the princess. Why don't you take a look?"
Qin Suyi lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, "My brother has already made his own proposal regarding the marriage."
Everyone asked curiously: "Whose young master is this?"
Jiang Ningwan was also waiting for her answer.
Unexpectedly, Qin Suyi's eyes suddenly looked at her.
Somewhat embarrassedly, he said, "My brother has fallen in love with the young master of the Jiang family."
Young Master Jiang?
Look at her and say Young Master Jiang?
The only person on Jiang Ningwan's mind was Jiang Renyan.
But he is still so young!
Until someone exclaimed, "Is it the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard?"
Qin Suyi nodded.
Jiang Ningwan's mind buzzed.
broken.
Targeted at Jiang Zhouye.
"Marriage in the Jiang family is not easy to negotiate. I heard that matchmakers have been knocking on the Jiang family's doorstep, but Deputy Commander Jiang didn't like any of them."
"This Lord Jiang doesn't seem to be in any hurry about his son's marriage."
At this time, someone said: "Our princess is certainly different! Maybe this good thing can come true!"
"When the princess gets married, please be sure to invite us to the wedding to share in the joyous atmosphere."
Qin Suyi smiled and said, "Of course."
After saying that, Qin Suyi suddenly stood up and walked towards Jiang Ningwan, "Sister Jiang, I have something I want to talk to you alone. Please come upstairs with me."
Jiang Ningwan frowned, "Can't I say it here?"
Qin Suyi was a little embarrassed, "It's a bit inconvenient."
Jiang Ningwan had no choice but to accompany her upstairs, but she felt a little unhappy when she heard Qin Suyi calling her "Sister Jiang" and holding her arm affectionately.
They haven't even started dating yet and they are not familiar with each other.
Entering the room upstairs, Qin Suyi poured her tea.
"Sister Jiang, I know you're very curious about my background. If you have any questions, just ask me directly."
Jiang Ningwan was secretly shocked. Was Xiao Lan's action discovered again?
Seeing Jiang Ningwan didn't say anything.
Qin Suyi actually took the initiative to talk about her life experience.
"I used to think I had no parents, but when I was little, there was a man who often came to visit me. My nanny told me he was my father's friend, and I called him uncle."
"Every time he came, he would bring me lots of delicious food, take me clothes shopping, and personally make snacks and sweet soup for me."
"I like him very much, and he loves me very much."
"When I was little, I always thought, 'I wish he were my dad.' Then I would have a dad, and I wouldn't be the wild child that other people talk about."
"It was only before Madam died that she told me that it was my father. However, he had already passed away due to illness. I couldn't even find his grave, and I couldn't even go and pay my respects..."
When she said this, Qin Suyi lowered her eyes and choked up a little.
Jiang Ningwan listened and couldn't help but ask, "Did you only find out your father was Prince Yi after Qin Beihuang took you back?"
Qin Suyi nodded.
"During the time when your uncle was sick, didn't you think of looking for him?"
Qin Suyi was slightly startled and replied, "I was too young at the time."
Jiang Ningwan asked again: "Do you know what disease he has?"
Qin Suyi hesitated for a moment, "I don't know, my brother doesn't want to tell me."
Seeing her reaction, Jiang Ningwan was certain that it was not that Qin Beihuang did not tell her what disease Prince Yi had, but that she had never asked.
She talked about how Prince Yi often visited her when she was a child, and she even remembered details like buying clothes for her and making snacks for her, which meant it was not made up.
But Prince Yi didn't know how to make any snacks or sweet soups. He probably had never even been to the kitchen in his life.
Taking her to buy clothes was not something a father would do. For someone of Prince Yi's status, he would more likely give money to his servants to buy the clothes.
Instead of taking her to buy it in person.
Such care and love are more like what a mother would do.
"That's really a pity. Your Uncle Xiao must have been waiting for you to call him dad." Jiang Ningwan sighed regretfully.
Qin Suyi wiped her tears, "Uncle Xiao..."
She paused suddenly.
After reacting, there was a panic in his eyes.
"No, his surname is Qin, why is it Xiao?" Qin Suyi couldn't hide the panic in her eyes.
Jiang Ningwan saw through it at a glance.
As expected, her surname was Xiao, and the one who went to see her was not Prince Yi, but Prince Yi's Consort.
Jiang Ningwan smiled calmly, "I heard that too. When Prince Yi came to see you, he didn't use his real surname, but lied and said his last name was Xiao."
"It seems that this is not true. Someone must have made it up."
"You were suddenly brought back and named a princess, and all kinds of rumors started spreading."
After hearing this, Qin Suyi was obviously relieved, "Yes, there are too many rumors."
