Chapter 329 The Truth
"Thank you, Eldest Princess." Tuantuan thanked Eldest Princess again, then lay down on An Xiu'er's lap and did not speak.

After the eldest princess heard this, she hurriedly said: "It's just an ordinary gift, it's nothing. What do you like, Tuantuan? Tell me, I'll find them all for you."

Tuantuan shook his head, and when he heard this, he felt a little scared and ran away.

An Xiu'er said: "Please forgive Tuantuan's impoliteness, he is just a child."

The eldest princess said: "He is very cute, and I am not angry with him. I just want to invite you to play at my mansion. I usually live alone, but the garden at my mansion is quite big."

"Thank you, Eldest Princess, for your kindness. It's just that we usually like to live in our own place." An Xiuer replied.

The eldest princess sighed and looked at Fang Yuan again.

Fang Yuan then said to An Xiu'er: "Madam Zhang, why don't you open the sachet and see what your father left for you."

An Xiu'er thought for a while, nodded, and the eldest princess said: "Wait a minute, let me tell you my story first, okay?"

"Please tell me." An Xiu'er lowered her head.

The eldest princess began to talk slowly, she said: "My son-in-law was the number one scholar in Jinke, and later when he went to Xuzhou to be the governor, I went with him, who knew that there was an accident."

The eldest princess told An Xiuer what happened back then, and she also told about how she and an old woman beside her fled to Minyu County with some guards. She said: "The reason why I said this is that I want to tell you that I really had no choice back then, otherwise I would never have abandoned you. I was afraid that those rebels would catch up with me and hurt you, so I let Madam Fu take you away. "

"I see." An Xiu'er nodded. Hearing the Eldest Princess talk about Xuzhou and Min Yujun, she already had some doubts in her heart. She untied the jade sachet from her waist, found the mouthpiece, and stroked it. , said: "Actually, when my father gave me this sachet, I was very curious in my heart. I really wanted to open it, but until now, I don't want to open it anymore."

"I feel that if I open it, a devil will be released." An Xiu'er said so, only hearing a slight "click", she still opened the jade sachet.

There was a piece of paper inside. An Xiu'er took out the paper and unfolded it. The more she looked at it, the more solemn her heart became. Before she knew it, her eyes were filled with tears, and the tears fell drop by drop. on this paper.

It was a letter written by Father An to her.

Father An told him that when he was young, he worked as a servant in a rich family, and Mrs. Liang also worked as a maidservant in a rich family. Later, the master was generous enough to marry the two of them and let them go out. I found a job as a clerk outside, while Mrs. Liang sewed and mended at home.

When An Xiu'er was born, Liang's dystocia was difficult. Father An told Master Bao, and the child died. Father An was afraid that Liang would be sad, so he told Liang that the child was not dead, but he couldn't afford it and gave it away.

Mrs. Liang didn't know about this matter, and cried at home every day, asking him who gave the child to, and wanted to take it back, but Mrs. An couldn't do anything about it, and his hair turned gray in a few days.

A few days later, there was an old nanny holding the baby and begging for milk. The nanny's hair was drooping and her body was a little dirty, like an old beggar woman.

When others see such a person, they avoid it, so why would they invite her in? Father An is no exception, but when he sees the child in her arms, he feels compassion. With one glance, his round eyes looked at him so cute, Father An's heart softened, thinking of his dead child, he took the child home, and lied to Mrs. Liang that he brought the child back.

From then on, this child became their child, and only he knew all this, including Mrs. Liang. He kept this secret until his death.

"What was written in the letter?" Seeing that An Xiu'er was in a bad mood, Fang Yuan asked.

An Xiu'er didn't speak, she held the letter paper, her heart was very complicated, she just felt that her whole heart was in a mess.

The eldest princess has not read the contents of the letter paper, but what she said is right with what Father An wrote, and there is a jade sachet as a token.

It's just that An Xiu'er doesn't believe that there is such a coincidence in this world, and she also doesn't believe that she is the eldest princess' daughter, she is just an ordinary country girl.

There was a long, long silence, and it was only when Tuantuan tugged at her sleeves that An Xiu'er came back to her senses.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Looking down and seeing Tuantuan's upturned little face, An Xiuer hugged him into her arms, "Tuantuan, mother will never leave you."

"Tuantuan will not leave mother." Tuantuan's soft voice finally made An Xiuer's heart feel a little bit better.

"Son, is the truth really so unacceptable? Could it be that being my daughter will wrong you?" Seeing An Xiuer's performance, the eldest princess knew that there must be something written in the letter. However, she was so absent-minded. The desolate performance made her feel a pain in her heart, as if someone was holding a knife to gouge out her heart.

"Sister Huang, don't get excited, she won't be able to react for a while. If someone tells me that the parents who have raised me for more than ten years are not my own parents, I won't be able to accept it for a while." Yuan said from the side.

The eldest princess didn't speak, but slowly stood up from the chair, walked to An Xiu'er's side, stretched out her hand to gently hold her wrist, and said, "Mother, I'm sorry."

"No." An Xiu'er shook her head and said, "No, you have your suffering."

"Over the years, I have lived a good life. I don't hate anyone, and I don't hate you."

An Xiu'er said slowly, "It's just that I didn't expect that, really, I used to be just a girl in the countryside, and my life was poor. At that time, I heard about the young ladies in the city, and the princesses and nobles in the capital. , I used to be envious."

"I never thought I would be one of them. I have always been a sparrow. Even through my own efforts, I have a new life, but I am always ridiculed. When people mention me, they always say that I am lucky." Well, I don’t know what method I used to marry into Zhang’s family and fly up to a branch to become a phoenix, so my mother-in-law always feels a little bit dissatisfied with me because of this, no matter how good I am.”

"The phoenix fell into the sparrow's nest and became a sparrow. I am not the same as you." An Xiu'er said: "Look at me, I don't understand your rules and etiquette, and I am not as generous as you. I only like it." Live freely, since this is the case, what do you want my daughter to do?"

"Why do you have to find your daughter? Do you know her past? Maybe she will embarrass you." An Xiu'er said.

"No." The eldest princess shook her head again and again, and said, "No matter what you look like, mother loves you. I've heard your seventh uncle say that you are a very good girl."

"No, then if I'm still the country girl who didn't understand anything, would you still be eager to recognize me?" An Xiu'er asked.

"Of course, you are my daughter. No matter what you become, you are still my daughter. What I want to do now is to tell the world that what I want to do is to give you my best. Let you feel my love again." The eldest princess took An Xiuer's hand and said, "Promise mother, don't be stubborn, okay? Come back to the eldest princess mansion with me, and let me take good care of you."

"With me, you will no longer be ridiculed by others, and you will not be busy all day long. With me, you can have a better life." The eldest princess lightly opened her red lips.

An Xiu'er raised her head, with tears in her eyes, she didn't know how to face it.

"If I become your daughter, I will not be free." An Xiu'er said, "I still have a lot of business to take care of."

"You can still take care of it." The eldest princess said: "I also have many shops in the capital and Xuzhou. I have a dedicated person to take care of them. I don't have to take care of them on weekdays. I just listen to them report to me every quarter. When the time comes You can do the same, I really don’t feel relieved, you can go and have a look.”

"Look at your Seventh Emperor Uncle, he is very chic, and he still walks around. Wherever you want to go in the future, I will let your Seventh Emperor take you with him. He has been to many places." The eldest princess said: "I just hope , when you are free, you can live with me, and when you are free, you can accompany me, just treat it as me begging you, okay?"

An Xiu'er looked up at the eldest princess, she was only in her thirties, she was still very young, and she was well maintained, but her mentality was like that of an old man who was dying, her eyes were full of longing, and her eyes were so sincere.

An Xiu'er's chaotic heart slowly calmed down.

"Sister Huang has worshiped the Buddha for more than ten years, and she needs someone to accompany her." Fang Yuan said from the side, "Originally, after the death of the concubine, the princess can remarry, but Miss Huang did not, so she stayed alone in her eldest princess mansion." , I have kept it for more than ten years, and I have also suffered for more than ten years."

When An Xiu'er heard the words, her heart was also touched. At least, she was not as good as her, and she couldn't do this. If Zhang Zhen'an really passed away, she might guard him for him, or maybe she wouldn't. At least, she wouldn't guard the Buddhist temple alone. She will wander around, look at the mountains and water, and see all the places in the world. She will fill herself up instead of letting her heart be empty.

"Little princess." Li Momo on the side also came up, seeing her princess like this, she felt a severe pain in her heart, but An Xiu'er on the side seemed heartless, unmoved look.

"Okay, I agree, but I want to be free, you can't force me." An Xiu'er thought for a while and said.

"You just agree, how can I force you." When the princess heard An Xiuer's promise, she hugged An Xiuer in her arms and said, "Don't worry, mother will protect you. With me here, There are no problems, no one dares to ridicule you, and no one dares to bully you!"

An Xiu'er responded in a low voice.
