After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Chapter 417 You Are My Daughter

After hearing what Prince Yu's wife said, Empress Dowager Lu nodded and looked at Qin Xiaoning beside her.

Qin Xiaoning was extremely calm and had no expression on her face.

Seeing this, Princess Yu became uneasy. She stood up again and came to Qin Xiaoning. She wanted to hold her hand, but Qin Xiaoning pulled it back without saying a word.

"Madam's one-sided statement alone cannot prove anything." Qin Xiaoning looked ahead blankly and said calmly, "Although my mother died young, she always protected and loved me. I don't believe that she is not my biological mother."

Seeing this, Princess Yu couldn't help but get excited: "Child, if I wasn't absolutely sure, how could I have come to look for you?"

Qin Xiaoning smiled coldly and asked, "Based on the two points Madam said, is that conclusive evidence?"

Princess Yu was certain that this was the daughter she had been searching for for so many years. Seeing Qin Xiaoning's attitude, she felt a little disappointed.

She stared at Qin Xiaoning, her tone filled with anxiety: "Then let me ask you, you keep saying that Qin is your biological mother. When I heard that she passed away, you were already seven years old, and you should be old enough to remember things. Did Qin ever tell you about your biological father? If she was really your biological mother, how could she not tell you this when she was about to die?"

This is the doubt that Qin Xiaoning has always had in her heart, and it is also her hidden pain.

She turned her head away, tears welling up in her almond-shaped eyes.

Seeing this, Princess Yu asked, "And you should remember Qin's appearance, right? Do you look like her in any way?"

Seeing that Qin Xiaoning remained silent, Princess Yu took two steps closer and came in front of Qin Xiaoning. Qin Xiaoning was sitting on a chair. At this moment, Princess Yu was blocking her way, leaving her nowhere to hide.

"Wan'er, I know it's hard for you to accept it for now, but I really am your mother, your biological mother, and you are my daughter. Wan'er, I owe you, but I will make it up to you, I will..."

The Princess of Yu was just talking to Qin Xiaoning here when she heard the palace door creak open. Then, a captivating aura filled the room, making this spacious hall suddenly seem depressing.

Before Princess Yu could finish her words, she suddenly sensed something was wrong and subconsciously turned around.

A tall and straight man was standing at the entrance of the palace. His face was stern and majestic, and he exuded an aura of oppression. Even a noble lady like the Princess of Yu, who was used to seeing the world, felt a little timid in front of this man and didn't even dare to look him in the face.

"Eldest sister, this is the regent of my Great Zhou."

After listening to Prince Xian's introduction, Princess Yu dared to look up and take a closer look. This was her son-in-law. Because of the power of maternal love, Princess Yu even began to look Lu Ji up and down.

He is handsome, but his temperament is too cold and serious. I'm afraid he is not a considerate person.

Thinking of what Prince Xian and his wife had told her before about what Lu Ji had done, Princess Yu felt that this man was more difficult to deal with. But when she thought about how he had disregarded the secular world and insisted on making his daughter, who was originally a concubine, his legitimate wife, she felt grateful to him for a moment.

In short, in this short moment, Princess Yu looked at Lu Ji and her mind had turned over and over countless times.

Compared to the Princess of Prince Yu's careful scrutiny and even examination, Lu Ji just glanced at her lightly, and then he strode to Qin Xiaoning's side.

His tall figure standing in front of Qin Xiaoning suddenly made the Princess of Prince Yu, who was also standing in front of Qin Xiaoning, look insignificant. The Princess of Prince Yu couldn't help but step back. Qin Xiaoning then turned around and looked up at Lu Ji.

Her eyes were calm, but Lu Ji could still catch a hint of helplessness and sadness in them. He raised his hand and pulled her up, saying softly, "You go home first, I'll be back later."

Qin Xiaoning nodded at Lu Ji and was about to go out. Upon seeing this, Princess Yu tried to stop Qin Xiaoning, but was stopped by Prince Xian with a look.

After Qin Xiaoning left, Lu Ji sat down on the chair. He first looked at Prince Xian and asked, "Is the woman that the prince brought a woman from the royal family of Qi?"

Prince Xian was the patriarch of the Zhao family. Although he disagreed with Lu Ji in terms of stance, Lu Ji still treated him with courtesy because he was a kind and virtuous person. At least, whenever they had contact, he was respectful to him.

Prince Xian then told Lu Ji again in detail about Prince Yu's wife coming to look for her daughter.

After hearing this, Lu Ji looked at the Princess of Yu and asked, "Just because she looks like you and the maidservant who got lost with her was named Qin, it's a bit far-fetched to say that Ning is your daughter."

The man in a high position had an imposing manner and a steady voice, which made Princess Yu unconsciously cautious.

After hearing this, she considered it for a moment and replied, "This matter is not difficult to judge. When I return, I will order someone to draw a portrait of the maid surnamed Qin for the Regent Princess to identify. Then everything will be clear."

Lu Ji didn't respond after hearing this, he just said: "A Ning is now my wife, her status is extraordinary, even if the princess wants to recognize her, she must first ask my consent."

After hearing these words, Princess Yu couldn't sit still anymore. As she had experienced the world, she could tell that the man in front of her was no ordinary person.

She asked anxiously, "I also know that it was the prince's family who raised my daughter, but I am her biological mother after all. Is there anything wrong with me recognizing my own daughter?"

In a hurry, the Princess of Yu unconsciously sounded anxious. Seeing this, the virtuous Prince beside her winked at her. The Princess of Yu barely suppressed her temper and said in a gentle tone, "My daughter is now married to the Prince Regent. I also know that the Princess treats her very well. I just want to acknowledge my daughter, not take her away."

After hearing this, Lu Ji's expression finally softened slightly.

Seeing this, Princess Yu continued, "Now that Zhou and Qi are on good terms, if the regent's princess is a daughter of the royal family of Qi, it will also be beneficial to the friendship between the two countries."

Lu Ji smiled coldly when he heard this and replied, "Before I came here, I heard someone report back. According to the princess, your lost daughter was born to your ex-husband. If that's the case, even if we find this daughter, she can't be considered a daughter of the royal family of Qi."

The Princess of Yu was also choked and stunned.

After a long while, she stammered, "Our prince has already promised me that if he finds this daughter, he will treat her like his own daughter and will also ask for her to be given the title of Princess."

"She is naturally a royal daughter."

Lu Ji then raised his eyes to look at the Princess of Yu and asked, "If your prince is really such a broad-minded person, how could you have lost your daughter in the first place?"

Princess Yu had never expected that this man had such a keen eye for things. Now that Lu Ji asked the question so pointedly, Princess Yu's tears welled up in her eyes.

At the beginning, she did have something to hide.

She was the one who let her daughter down.
