The wife of the female Zun Kuaichuan is a doting maniac

If the visitors are hostile, I'm afraid you alone won't be able to handle them.

Si Qianling waved his hand: "No need, please invite them into the front hall."

This matter doesn't require Su Qiruo to resolve; Hu Ziqiu knows perfectly well what his purpose is in coming to claim kinship.

If Hu Ziqiu had come to find him as soon as he entered the capital, he might have considered the sibling-like relationship between them.

But she happened to come at this time, when Si Jingchen was no longer reliable. If she came looking for him again, he would really think she was a wild child who lacked love.

Si Qianling poured himself a drink, and the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms in his mouth improved his mood.

These plum blossoms were picked by Su Qiruo with him before the New Year. Later, he roasted some himself, and they tasted pretty good.

When Hu Ziqiu followed the servant over, the first thing she saw was a young man who looked five or six parts similar to her, looking down at the cup, seemingly lost in thought.

I had thought of many things to say before I came, but now I couldn't say anything at all.

Faced with such a face, it was truly hard for her to bring herself to use him the same way she had used Si Jingchen.

In that instant, Hu Ziqiu seemed to understand the choice made by everyone in the Prime Minister's residence.

Why did she choose her biological son without hesitation between the son she had raised for sixteen years and her own son?

If it were her, even on the brink of life and death, she might not be able to bear abandoning this face that resembles her own.

Is this the pull between bloodlines?
Si Qianling looked up and was taken aback when she saw the face clearly.

He never imagined that there would be anyone in the world who looked so much like him.

Even they themselves think it looks similar, so how could Si Jingchen not see it?

Or is it that everything Si Jingchen did to him was at the behest of the person in front of him?

Thinking of this, Si Qianling's eyes turned cold.

"Please sit down." Without waiting for Hu Ziqiu to speak, Si Qianling gave the order.

"Serve the tea to the guests."

Hu Ziqiu collected her thoughts, sat down below Si Qianling, glanced at the two servants standing behind him, and figured they wouldn't leave her alone to talk to Si Qianling, so she wisely kept quiet.

"Xiao Ling, may I call you that?"

Si Qianling neither agreed nor disagreed.

Even if he doesn't admit it, she is still his biological sister. It's just a title, and she can use it as she pleases.

However, this also shows that this person must have secretly investigated him, and even knows how his family members address him.

"You probably already knew why I've come today from the moment we met. I don't ask for your forgiveness for our negligence; I just want to make sure you are well. If you are having any troubles, please let me know."

Aside from the phrase "negligence," everything Hu Ziqiu said at this moment came from the bottom of his heart.

"If you're willing, I'd like to take you home. They... miss you very much."

Si Qianling stared directly into Hu Ziqiu's eyes, a gaze that made one feel uneasy.

He suddenly smiled, his long eyelashes concealing the mockery in his eyes.

"I have no idea what kind of negligence could lead to someone switching their own child with another baby."

Without waiting for Hu Ziqiu to make any excuses, Si Qianling continued.
“If their concern is that someone comes back to ruin my life and steal my lover, I can’t bear that concern.”

"I'm sorry, this was not my intention..."

Si Qianling raised her hand to interrupt Hu Ziqiu, saying directly, "I'm not here today to hear your explanation, nor to acknowledge you. I simply want to tell you that regardless of the past, I don't blame you for abandoning me, nor will I acknowledge you again. Let's just treat each other as strangers." (End of Chapter)
