Chapter 678: Who is Nan Mingzhu’s Father?
The Hidden Guards of the Dark Guard Tower sward around Le De. "Di Ding, even Di Yi is eager to recognize Eldest Lady as his master, why are you unwilling?"
"Yeah, don’t you like the Eldest Lady?"
"What I find more curious is, Di Ding, are you not afraid of offending the Eldest Lady? Offending the Eldest Lady ans offending Housekeeper Ming, do you not fear that?"
"Exactly, exactly, you’ve completely offended Housekeeper Ming today."
A thought struck Le De: Offending the Eldest Lady is the sa as offending Housekeeper Ming?
He glanced at the crowd coldly. "So what if I don’t want to? What are you going to do, stew in a soup?"
The Hidden Guards... Is it no longer possible to have a proper conversation?
At night, Le De quietly sneaked to the study door of the Nan Family Head and lightly knocked.
"Co in."
Le De slipped inside and bowed to Nan Cheng. "Family Head."
"Take a seat." Nan Family Head looked at Di Ding. "You didn’t make a move against Jiang ngyu this ti, not really because she’s an innate master, right?"
Le De was startled, was he suspecting him?
After a mont’s hesitation, he said, "Family Head, that Jiang ngyu, she bears a strong resemblance to the Young Master."
Nan Cheng was shocked and stared fixedly at Le De. "Di Ding, do you realize what you are saying?"
Le De bowed his head. "Family Head, I know what I’m saying. That girl, she resembles the Young Master by five parts and bears an eight parts resemblance to the late Old Madam."
Nan Cheng was even more astonished. "Are you—certain?"
"I would stake my own head on it, she looks more like the Young Master’s daughter." Le De hesitated, then added, "Furthermore, the sister of Young Master’s wife, Leng Xiangning, Leng Xiangyu, has confird that Nan Mingzhu is her own biological daughter."
Nan Cheng suddenly stood up. "Really?"
Le De nodded. "The sister of the Young Master’s wife, Cultivator Leng Xiangyu, happened to et Nan Mingzhu when the Miss was visiting an antique company. Leng Xiangyu sensed her own bloodline and thus determined that Nan Mingzhu is her daughter.
It is said that she previously only felt a resemblance in the bloodline with the daughter she had recognized, but it did not feel like her own true bloodline. She had doubts and thus did not grow too close to the adopted girl.
It wasn’t until she t the Eldest Lady that she confird the Eldest Miss Nan is indeed her daughter, and the one she had recognized before with the similar bloodline must be the daughter of her younger sister, Young Madam Leng Ningxiang.
She guesses that her daughter was switched right after birth, taken to the Nan Family, while the Nan Family’s daughter was brought to her. Later, that daughter was swapped for an illegitimate child by her husband, and ended up in the countryside with the Jiang Family as their adopted daughter."
"How do you know?"
"Jiang ngyu said it herself; she felt soone was constantly trying to ruin her. After sensing sothing was amiss, she sought out Leng Xiangyu, whom she had just acknowledged last year, and Leng Xiangyu personally admitted it to her.
Moreover—" Le De looked up at the Family Head, "I suspect that when the Eldest Lady t with Leng Xiangyu, not only did Leng Xiangyu sense the bloodline, but the Eldest Lady sensed it too.
She discovered that she is the daughter of Leng Xiangyu, not Leng Ningxiang, so—" He thought for a mont and then added, "On Jiang ngyu, there is a Jade Pendant. Under the light of the Luminous Pearl, it reveals an enlarged Nan character."
She possesses features five parts like Young Master Nan, eight parts like Old Madam Nan, and a Jade Pendant only held by the Nan Family’s direct descendant—denying her as a Nan Family mber would be impossible.
Nan Cheng sighed deeply: No wonder Nan Mingzhu so resolutely tried to take action against Jiang ngyu. It turns out, she knew her own origin and wanted to protect her status as the Eldest Lady of the Nan Family, so she sought to prevent the real Eldest Miss Nan from returning.
What puzzled Nan Cheng was, if Nan Mingzhu was not the daughter of his elder brother, then whose daughter was she?
