She could not forget the pain.She could not give the painting up.
"Okay."
Jiu Ming smiled. "Little girl, do you remember? I told you before that your brother… was in Tian Shen Manor. Now my people have entered Tian Shen Manor and discovered a secret. Tian Shen Manor"s Qin family brought a child back from the secular world seventeen years ago."
Feng Ruqing looked up and stared squarely at Jiu Ming.
At this moment, her breath shallowed as she was filled with excitement, forgetting all the heartache and sorrow that she felt just now.
"Is he my brother?"
Jiu Ming grinned and touched Feng Ruqing"s head. "The people of Tian Shen Manor are arrogant. They will never let any outsider enter their family. However, that child was adopted by the Qin family"s master. I am not sure whether he is your brother…"
He paused and continued.
"The news I got was that the child"s biological parents had abandoned him. They had even nearly killed him. It was the Qin family who had pa.s.sed by and had mercy on him. Thus, they had brought him back"
Feng Ruqing"s eyes were cold. "Are these words said by the Qin family?"
"Yes, it is said by the people of the Qin family. No one knows how true it is." Jiu Ming"s eyes narrowed as he smiled. "Nonetheless, Tian Shen Manor is different from other forces. Tian Shen Manor is a closed place. It does not have much contact with the outside world. It is extremely difficult to find out more about Tian Shen Manor. However, two of your acquaintances were from Tian Shen Manor…"
"No!" Feng Ruqing slowly turned her head. "I won"t let Suyi and Nan Xian partic.i.p.ate in this matter. Tian Shen Manor is a nightmare for them. They had just woken up from the nightmare, there is no need for them to go in again! I won"t let the two of them go back to Tian Shen Manor again."
Nan Xian did not have much affection for Tian Shen Manor. Even if that manor was once his nightmare, he had left when he was four years old. So, it would not have much influence on him.
But Suyi could not!
The Mu family had hurt her too deeply. She would not let Suyi go back to that kind of place just to get some information!
Jiu Ming laughed. "I had expected you to do so, so you don"t have to worry about it. I will do my best to help you. These are what I have found for now, but I don"t understand why the Qin family has adopted a son."
Feng Ruqing slightly narrowed her eyes. She did not understand it either.
Why the Qin family… adopted a child?
If that child was really her brother, then he was forcibly removed from the palace. What was the purpose of doing so… and for what?
"Jiu Ming, help me find out… why the Qin family adopted a child. And also, what"s the child"s name…"
"Okay. I will continue the investigation." Jiu Ming smiled. "But my men have already found out the child"s name. His name is Qin Chen."
Just as Feng Ruqing wanted to fill the spirit herb box that she had just picked up, her hands suddenly trembled after hearing Jiu Ming"s words. The box slipped from her palms, falling to the ground as a m.u.f.fled sound came out of her mouth.
"What did you just… what"s the child"s name?"
Her voice trembled uncontrollably and she stared closely at Jiu Ming. She was breathing heavily as she enunciated each and every word.
"Qin Chen."
Qin Chen…
These two words got Feng Ruqing"s heart like a bunch of tangled threads. This name had also made her lose her composure. Her brain became blank and her face turned terribly pale.
