Chapter 370 Tell you a secret
"Here it comes, the bronze mirror has arrived."
Xi'er excitedly ran over, carrying a bronze mirror.
After handing the bronze mirror to the young master, he wisely led his servants out.
"Uncle Cui, why don't you look in the mirror?" Miao Miao held up the bronze mirror in front of Cui Yan.
Cui Yan was a little confused.
Why would a grown man like him look in the mirror all the time?
He was usually so busy that he had no time to spare, and his clothes were taken care of by others, so he didn't need to dress up like a woman. Therefore, the mirrors in his room were just for decoration.
But seeing Miao Miao's expectant eyes, he still took the bronze mirror and began to examine himself in the mirror.
I was immediately reminded of the saying, "Use bronze as a mirror and history as a lesson."
I think I should look in the mirror occasionally.
Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, he sighed, "Time waits for no one; I'm getting old!"
Jiang Miaomiao: ...Who told you to watch this?
The little girl rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at Cui Yan.
This was the first time she had ever closely examined this man who was very likely her biological father.
Uncle Cui is very good-looking.
But his good looks are different from Jiang Yunze's.
Jiang Yunze is like a male version of a pure and innocent woman; his good looks are only on the surface, and he likes to dress himself in white all the time.
She has the appearance of a pure and innocent white lotus.
And Uncle Cui.
Every time I saw him, he was either dressed in a black robe or a blue robe, his clothes fluttering as he walked, giving him the air of an immortal, the elegance of a scholar, and the composure of a towering mountain and a vast ocean.
However, there was always a sense of aloofness and detachment between his brows.
It inspires awe in people without them even realizing it.
If one insists on unraveling the mystery, one must find one's biological father.
Miaomiao probably didn't dare to get too close to Uncle Cui; his aura was too strong.
I've only been teaching her to write characters and it's almost driven her to depression.
Miaomiao leaned closer and said, "Uncle Cui, did you see clearly? Don't you think we look alike?"
Cui Yan stared blankly at the two faces, one large and one small, reflected in the bronze mirror for a while.
Eyes, nose, mouth...
He turned back, cupped Miaomiao's little face in his hands, and examined it closely. They did look somewhat alike.
But he didn't think much of it; he was just curious that Jiang Yunze's daughter looked like him.
It's incredible.
However, what the little guy said next completely petrified him.
"Uncle Cui, I'll tell you a secret."
"What secret?"
Miaomiao took the tea away from Cui Yan, afraid that he might spit it out later.
Only then did she sit down opposite him solemnly and begin to say, "I am not actually born to my mother. I was adopted by her. My mother is my adoptive mother. Princess Yuqing is my biological mother, but my biological father is not Cao Fuma. Uncle Cui, do you understand?"
The air froze instantly.
The chirping of insects and birds outside grew louder and louder.
"Snapped……"
The bronze mirror fell, making a crisp sound.
Cui Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he froze on the spot.
He stared blankly at the little girl opposite him, her eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth...
They didn't even spare a single strand of hair.
He asked with some difficulty, "Miaomiao, did you just say that Madam Lu is not your biological mother, but Princess Yuqing is?"
He had overheard a rumor about Princess Yuqing earlier.
There are various versions, and he doesn't really believe them.
After all, he had personally witnessed the deep affection between the two, and how Cao Fuma cared for Yuqing with utmost devotion.
As a fellow man, he could see the adoration and possessiveness in Cao Fuma's eyes when he looked at the princess.
That's something you absolutely can't fake.
Furthermore, the two had a daughter, who was rumored to have been switched at birth because she was born to a concubine.
He didn't believe it either.
How could a princess, surrounded by servants, not know that her child had been switched?
It is precisely because of this idea that rumors are just rumors, just like him.
Not many people believe it.
People are more inclined to believe it was an accident, that Princess Yuqing was simply unlucky, losing both her husband and daughter.
But now this child actually came to tell him that she was Yuqing and his child.
The key point is that the child really looks like him and Yuqing.
Cui Yan felt her head buzzing and her thoughts were in disarray.
Jiang Miaomiao nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes, the princess is my biological mother... father unknown..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Uncle Cui's gaze burning her, as if he wanted to set her on fire.
This made her a little nervous.
She asked softly, "Uncle Cui, would you like some water?"
Seeing that Uncle Cui didn't react, she took the tea she had just taken away back to calm him down; he must have been terrified.
Suddenly a lively and energetic girl appears; anyone who encounters her would be startled.
We need to give him some time.
Cui Yan took the tea that Miao Miao brought and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he staggered to his feet, told her to go find the princess, and stormed out the door.
Just leave!
Jiang Miaomiao stared blankly at the doorway.
what's the situation?
Was he scared away by her?
Or perhaps Uncle Cui simply didn't believe her and went to the princess to verify it?
I never expected Uncle Cui to react this way.
However, it would be appropriate to verify this.
Both of them are too proud, and neither is willing to compromise for the other. They should take this opportunity to clarify things face to face and clear up the misunderstanding.
When Uncle Cui comes back, he should be able to give her an explanation.
Will I have to start calling him "Daddy" then?
Miao Miao happily strolled around the courtyard with Xi'er, and finally they strolled back to Princess Rong'an's courtyard.
Sister Yuan was taking a nap, so I didn't disturb her.
I waited all afternoon, until it got dark, until it was time to go to bed.
Uncle Cui still hasn't returned.
Without waiting any longer, Miao Miao climbed into bed to go to sleep.
She changed into her little nightgown; Qiuqiu was beside her pillow, and Xier was on the tatami mat in the outer room.
She's actually a bit of a light sleeper and not used to sleeping in the same bed.
I still miss my mother a little.
But considering this is my father's house, I will definitely have to visit him often in the future.
Then he closed his eyes in peace.
Soon, her breathing became even, and she drifted off to sleep.
evening.
Dusk fell.
The sky gradually darkened.
A gentle breeze swept by, carrying away the summer heat.
Princess Yuqing's sedan chair came out of the palace, and she was about to transfer to a horse-drawn carriage.
Just as she was about to get into the carriage, a hand grabbed her. "Yuqing, come with me."
The man's voice was deep.
Although only a few dim lamps held by the servants made it impossible to see the faces clearly, Princess Yuqing recognized the person just by hearing their voice.
"Cui Yan, what are you doing?"
Princess Yuqing was quite tired and didn't want to argue with Cui Yan.
She then followed him into the carriage.
"Just come with me, I'll introduce you to someone." Cui Yan seemed a little anxious.
Because he had been waiting all day.
After leaving the Cui residence, he went straight to the princess's residence, but did not find her. He then turned to the neighbor, Madam Lu, to seek the truth.
Lu Niangzi told him everything about Miaomiao.
He even specifically told him Miaomiao's birth date and time, and that she was born at full term.
She then recounted to him every detail of Miaomiao's life from birth to the present.
His feelings right now are very complicated.
There was excitement, regret, and heartache, but mostly I felt guilty.
When the guards saw that their master was being taken away and was willing to leave, they were about to step forward when they were stopped by Granny Feng.
They all tactfully followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
