Chapter 458 Patriarchal

Facing Pei Lan Qingri’s sight, Chu Ci changed another comfortable posture.

“I’m curious.”

Chu Ci looked at Pei Lan Qingri, who was upright, and asked curiously, “How did you appear in the underground auction on Cross Street?”

Pei Lan Qingri didn’t pay much attention to Chu Ci, and replied abruptly, “What’s up with you!”

Chu Ci chuckled lightly, not caring.

While enjoying Yan Ruoyu’s massage, he continued, “After the collapse of Xianzhu State, the empire quickly sent troops to take over the capital of Xianzhu State.”

“The royal family members were slaughtered by King Xian!”

Chu Ci observed the look on Pei Lan Qingri’s face, “Besides, all officials and their families above the fifth grade of Xianzhu State are in prison.”

“The general who commanded the army was even beheaded!”

As soon as Chu Ci’s voice fell, Pei Lan Qingri’s face showed a sad look.

“The culprit capital of all is the Longyan Empire!”

Pei Lan Qingri looked at Chu Ci angrily, “If it weren’t for your Longyan Empire, our country would not be ruined!”

Chu Ci shook his head slightly and said softly, “I called you today, not to argue with you who is right and who is wrong.”

“You should have been locked up in jail, why were you released?”

“Still being bid for employment rights by Tan Mansion at the underground auction?”

Pei Lan Qingri looked at Chu Ci angrily, “Why should I tell you!”

“You don’t have to tell me.” The corner of Chu Ci’s mouth was slightly raised, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, “I can ask your father.”

“I just don’t know if he can survive a round of interrogation in the prison?”

Pei Lanqing’s face suddenly changed when she heard this.

“You mean!”

Chu Ci shrugged and said, “This is the fate of the loser.”

After speaking, Chuci sat up slightly, looking down at Pei Lan Qingri, “Who made you slaves of the subjugated country!”

“you!”

Pei Lan Qingsun stretched out her finger to Chuci, her red lips biting white.

Chu Ci leaned back on the seat, looking at Pei Lan Qingri with a playful look.

“Let’s talk about it, don’t force me to ask your father!”

Pei Lan became soft on the sunny day and said in a low voice, “Okay, let me say.”

After bowing his head in silence for a long while, Pei Lanqing said with a loud voice, “It’s King Xian!”

Chu Ci’s eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice, “Wang Xian got you out of the prison and put you in the auction to bid for employment rights?”

Pei Lanqing pursed the corners of her lips and nodded in response, “Yes!”

“Who else is there except you?”

Chu Ci looked deeply at Pei Lan Qingri, “Don’t even think about concealing it, this matter will be clear after a little investigation!”

Pei Lan Qingri showed helplessness in her eyes and said aloud, “Except for me, most of the officials’ children have been released by King Xian.”

Looking up at Chu Ci, Pei Lan Qingri continued, “Xian Wang said that the love and hate of the country’s enemies and the family should not involve us.”

Hearing the words, Chu Ci laughed noncommittal, “His Royal Highness Xian is really full of love!”

Chu Ci looked at Pei Lan Qingri and said, “Anyway, it was also King Xian who led his troops to break through the capital of Xianzhu Kingdom.”

“Even slaughtered the blood of Xianzhu’s royal family.”

“Pei Lan sunny day, do you hate King Xian?”

Facing Chu Ci’s inquiry, Pei Lan Qingri’s body was shocked, and then a touch of hatred appeared on his face.

“certainly!”

“Of course I hate King Xian!”

Chu Ci looked at Pei Lanqing for a long while, and suddenly smiled.

“you are lying.”

“Although there is hatred on your face, there is only confusion in your eyes.”

“In fact, in your heart, you don’t know whether you want to blame King Xian, right?”

“I…” Pei Lanqing opened his mouth on the sunny day, and was silent for a long while to find a reason.

“Xian Wang released us after all.”

“Heh!” Chu Ci chuckled lightly, accepting this explanation.

“Then can you tell me why Mrs. Tan was chosen at the auction?”

“Actually you should have more and better choices!”

“The condition given by Mrs. Tan is the worst among all bidders!”

Pei Lan Qingri took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “This is my freedom!”

“The underground auction gave me the right to choose. I’m happy to choose Mrs. Tan, can’t I?!”

Chu Ci became more and more interested in Pei Lanqing’s excited reaction.

“Well, this is your right.”

“I heard that you and the young lady adopted by the Metropolitan Government are relatives?”

Chu Ci replied and asked another question.

Pei Lan looked at Chu Ci and said in silence for a moment, “So what?”

“What’s her name? Is it also Pei Lan?”

“Pei Lan Cangyue, she is my cousin.”

“Who is her father?”

“General Pei Lan Hongtu.”

“General…” Chu Ci tapped the table with his fingers, and asked, “Since he is a general leading the battle, he should have been beheaded?”

Pei Lan opened her mouth on the sunny day and said, “Yes.”

Chu Ci asked aloud, “When?”

“Probably a month after being in prison.” Pei Lanqing shook his head slightly, “I can’t remember the exact time.”

Chuci was silent for a moment, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

“After that, Pei Lan Cangyue was adopted?”

“probably.”

“It’s the Longyan Empire offering city defense again that adopted her?”

“Um.”

“Haha!” Chu Ci suddenly chuckled, “Five years ago, the Longyan Empire sent troops to the Xianzhu Kingdom, and the Xiancheng garrison did a lot of effort.”

“As a result, his father was killed, and he was adopted by his enemies.”

“The reincarnation of the world is really amazing.”

Pei Lanqing pressed the corners of her lips and did not answer.

Chu Ci looked at Pei Lan Qingri and asked, “Do you know how Pei Lan Cangyue is now?”

Pei Lanqing shook his head slightly, “I don’t know.”

Chu Ci leaned back on the seat, looking at Pei Lan Qingri, “I have been to the Dutong Mansion today, and I also saw your cousin Pei Lan Cangyue.”

Pei Lanqing frowned slightly and asked, “How is she?”

A smile appeared at the corner of Chu Ci’s mouth, “Very good!”

“Dutong Sun Chenghai and his wife simply regarded her as their own daughter!”

Pei Lan’s eyes flickered in Qingri, “Really.”

Chu Ci asked curiously, “Aren’t you surprised?”

“Why are you surprised?” Pei Lan Qingri looked at Chu Ci, “Since they have adopted Cang Yue, they should treat her as their biological daughter.”

Chu Ci shook his head slightly and said, “But it is hard to imagine that Du Tong Sun Chenghai is not the only adopted daughter of Pei Lan Cangyue.”

“His original partner Mi Shi also gave birth to an eldest son.”

“But don’t say I saw this eldest son when I was in the Metropolitan Mansion, Sun Chenghai didn’t even mention it!”

“Such preference for women over men is really puzzling for me!”

“Pei Lan sunny day, can you explain it to me?”

Pei Lan Qingri turned her head slightly and said, “Where do I know this?”

“Xu is that Sun Chenghai likes her daughter.”

Chu Ci nodded nonchalantly, and then asked another question.

“Pei Lan sunny day, I’m very curious about how the child called his mother in your Xianzhu country?”

“Well, it’s a kinder name.”

Pei Lanqing glanced at Chu Ci on the day, and then replied, “Just call’Mother’!”
