The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

"Then who is this person..." Xia Younan turned his gaze to the girl next to Ren Qiaoqian and frowned slightly.

This girl and Qu Zhengyan have 80% similarities in their eyes and eyebrows, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that they are father and daughter.

It's just that she looks only two or three years younger than Xiaoyou, and Liu Qiaoqian said she is her daughter...

Xiaoyou’s mother passed away when she was five years old. Doesn’t that mean... she was born when Xiaoyou’s mother was still alive?

Xia Younan was just thinking about it, but Qu Zhengyan's answer was beyond her expectations.

Qu Zhengyan took the girl's hand and introduced her to everyone, "This is my stepdaughter. Qiaoqian is a poor person. Her husband died at a young age, and she has been raising her child alone with great difficulty.

"Fortunately, she met me. I lost my wife and she lost her husband. We shared the same fate and sympathized with each other, so we got together."

Not his biological child? Xia Younan was dumbfounded.

Qu Zhengyan actually said that this girl was not his biological daughter? This... But whether in terms of body shape or appearance, they look 80% similar. She looks more like her father than Xiaoyou.

Apparently she was not the only one who thought so. Lu Xiuyuan, Chanmu and others also noticed the similarity between the "father and daughter" and were all surprised.

But this is someone else's family affair, so no matter how confused they are, they shouldn't ask any more questions.

"Oh, this young lady just left without even saying goodbye, why is she back suddenly now?" Ren Qiaoqian looked at Qu Xiaoyou and said sarcastically.

Qu Xiaoyou gave her a cold look and said, "I can come and go freely in my home. Do I need to say hello to you?"

Ren Qiaoqian snorted disdainfully, glanced at Chanmu, and sneered with contempt, "You really brought this monk back. What? He is willing to marry you?"

Qu Xiaoyou's face gradually darkened. "Go and chew the bones when you need to. Don't pick up mice for no reason."

"You! Master~" Ren Qiaoqian said coquettishly and complained to Qu Zhengyan unwillingly.

Qu Zhengyan glared at her and reprimanded her dignifiedly: "It's not your turn to lecture my daughter. Just do your job well! Xiaoyou doesn't like you. You should look for the problem in yourself."

"Master, why are you..."

"Get down!" Qu Zheng shouted harshly.

"Hmph!" Ren Qiaoqian didn't dare to do it again. She stomped her feet angrily, turned around and left.

After she left, Qu Zhengyan bowed and apologized to everyone, saying embarrassedly: "Please don't be offended, it's my fault for not educating my wife well.

"And Xiaoyou, don't bother with her. Dad loves you the most. You have dad's support. If you don't like her, just go and teach her a lesson."

"Thank you, Dad." Qu Xiaoyou's expression finally eased a little.

Xia Younan looked around at the family and thought that Xiaoyou didn't seem to have a good relationship with his stepmother, but fortunately his father loved her and even told her to teach his wife a lesson.

"Where have you been these days, sister? Are you doing okay outside?" Compared to Ren Qiaoqian's sarcasm, her daughter Ren Xiaole's words were much more pleasant to hear.

She looked at Qu Xiaoyou with a pair of innocent big eyes, her gaze was timid and weak, making her as lovable as a little white rabbit.

However, even so, Qu Xiaoyou didn't give her a good look, and said lightly: "Just mind your own business."

Ren Xiaole pouted in grievance and dared not say anything more. He lowered his head and looked very pitiful.

"You have no right to speak here. Go find your mother." Qu Zhengyan didn't even look at her.

Ren Xiaole's eyes turned red. She bent her knees towards him and walked out with light steps.

When she reached Zenmu, she paused, glanced at him, and smiled meaningfully with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Xia Younan noticed her look and his expression changed. This Ren Xiaole didn't seem as innocent as she seemed.

Qu Zhengyan sighed and said in a sad voice: "I'm sorry to make you laugh. Xiaoyou's mother and I had a deep love for each other. I shouldn't have continued my marriage after she died. But because Xiaoyou was too young to be deprived of her mother's love, I found another mother for her.

"I didn't want Ren's daughter and Xiaoyou to dislike each other. If I had known this, I would have raised Xiaoyou by myself."

A few people understood and had no interest in his family affairs.

Lu Xiuyuan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and couldn't wait to tell Qu Zhengyan the purpose of his visit, hoping that he could help track down Chen Yi's whereabouts.

Qu Zhengyan was surprised to hear that they were here to look for a lost national treasure, so he asked, "What kind of treasure is it that the princes and princesses are looking for it personally?"

Lu Xiuyuan smiled and said perfunctorily: "It is a serious matter and cannot be disclosed. I hope the leader will forgive me."

Qu Zhengyan nodded, without asking any more questions, but frowned and said: "Although Chen Yi lives in Liuyue City, he is not familiar with me. I..."

"Dad, don't all the leaders of the martial arts world have a roster? It records the identity information of everyone in the martial arts world. I remember Chen Yi is on it. You can take it out and have a look." Qu Xiaoyou interrupted.

“Uh…” Qu Zhengyan was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then ordered the servant beside him to get the list.

Soon a thick blue-covered book was brought over, and several people gathered around it impatiently to read it.

The information in it is very comprehensive, and basically all the information of the well-known figures in the martial arts world is recorded in the book, including their name, identity, family members, martial arts expertise, personal deeds, etc.

After searching for a long time, they finally saw the information of the fast-moving Chen Yi on the last page.

It said Chen Yi was from Liuyue City, 36 years old, good at Qinggong, and lived at No. Tonghua Street, Liuyue City. He had not yet married, and had an old mother at home. He was very obedient to his mother and was a rare filial son.

"This information is quite complete." Xia Younan sighed and asked Lu Xiuyuan, "Husband, should we go find him now? He should be back in the city by now."

"Let's go without further ado." Lu Xiuyuan said and was about to walk out.

"Wait!" Qu Zhengyan stopped them and said with a smile, "Your Highness and Princess have come all the way to visit my humble home, why are you leaving before the stools are even warmed up?

"It's almost dinner time. I'll have someone prepare some delicious food. My Lords, please have a good rest after dinner and go again tomorrow."

Lu Xiuyuan bowed and declined, "Thank you for your kindness, Alliance Leader. The incident is serious, so we should get back to business first. Goodbye." After saying that, he was about to leave again.

"Xiaoyou, please let the prince sit for a while longer. He has to finish his meal before leaving." Qu Zhengyan looked anxious and asked Qu Xiaoyou.

Qu Xiaoyou scratched his head in confusion, "Dad, I know you are enthusiastic, but what the princes want to do is really important. Why don't I let them stay at home for a few more days and treat them well after they finish their business?"

"You..." Qu Zhengyan was helpless. After pondering for a moment, he sighed and followed. "Okay, I'll go with you, and I can help you if you need it."

Lu Xiuyuan did not refuse and nodded to express his gratitude, "Thank you very much, Alliance Leader."
