Chapter 2: Chapter 102: Let the Three of Us Have a Good Chat

Qin Yufeng was unwilling to accept it. "Father, if we don't question this, what if Prince Mo really is... then where else will we find another orphan of the Hua family?"

"This... but Consort Hao was pregnant for ten months. Could that be a lie?"

"It's not impossible to forge!" After a brief pause, he calmed himself and continued.

"Father, in any case, if the time comes and we cannot find a Hua family orphan, the Qin family will face a great catastrophe. It would be better if we went to the Emperor and staked our lives on the guarantee that Prince Mo is the Hua family orphan. If we are lucky and guess correctly, we can save the Qin family; if we guess incorrectly, the Emperor, considering our past service, certainly won't make things difficult for us."

Qin Tian'ao took a deep breath, and two flashes of light erupted from his cloudy eyes. "Without evidence, I fear the Emperor will not believe us."

"Then let the Emperor and Prince Mo perform a bloodline recognition test on the spot!"

*Creak—*

"Miss, you're back?" Lv Xin and Qing Han put down their cleaning cloths and stepped forward to greet her.

Qin Hanxue glanced at the bed curtains and nodded. "You two go out. I want to be alone for a while." Having said that, she lay down on the bed.

Qing Han and Lv Xin retreated one after another, closing the door softly before leaving.

"Come out," Qin Hanxue spoke with a hint of playfulness.

A blue figure appeared from behind the bed curtains. "I didn't expect your sensitivity to be so high," Xin'er said coldly as she pulled back the curtain.

Qin Hanxue sat on the bed without moving, still looking perfectly composed with her eyes closed. "Are you here to see Lv Xin, or to see me?"

"..." Xin'er bit her lower lip in astonishment and spoke, "Since you already knew, I won't hide anything from you."

"Heh, it's not that I knew long ago, but that I just found out," Qin Hanxue said with a light, leisurely chuckle.

She hadn't originally known who Lv Xin's handler was; she had only spoken tentatively to test the waters, but now, she had been given the answer directly.

Xin'er frowned. "You...! You tricked me!?"

"All is fair in war." After a pause, she continued, "It's late at night. Why haven't you gone back to accompany your Lord to wash up and sleep? Are you staying here to be a night owl?"

Xin'er narrowed her eyes slightly. "...Qin Hanxue, just how did you make..." She thought for a moment and bit back the words she was about to utter.

She had come today to collect intelligence from Lv Xin. Having achieved her goal, it wasn't convenient to stay long, so she leaped directly out of the window.

Qin Hanxue also had no time to dwell on what the girl wanted to say. She stood up, brushed off her clothes, and walked toward Qing Han and Lv Xin's quarters.

That girl usually acted with an air of innocence and ignorant simplicity, yet she was actually a spy. To be fair, her acting was so superb it was a waste she didn't go to Hollywood! Truly a talent cultivated by Feng Qianqing and Chen Qimo!

One was Qing Han, the other was Lv Xin. Having lived under the same roof for so many years, they had most likely seen through each other's identities, yet they maintained a tacit understanding. The harmonious way these two acted daily suggested they were also destined to be award-winning actors.

They were undoubtedly top-tier spies, yet they were both willing to humble themselves to serve her, Qin Hanxue, like oxen and horses. This feeling of stepping on people was truly exhilarating!

But then again, the secret of the Qin family saving Cheng Yu had been uncovered, so there was no reason for them to stay in the Qin household. Yet, neither of them had left. Chen Qimo and Feng Qianqing had clearly invested a lot of effort in her; what exactly did they want?

Could it be... they forgot about these two girls?

*Knock, knock, knock—*

"Miss, you haven't rested yet?" The one who opened the door was Lv Xin. Seeing her Miss wearing a strange smile—looking radiant, kind, and benevolent...

Lv Xin swallowed hard. "...Miss, could you please stop smiling like that..."

Qin Hanxue entered the room with great decorum and sat on a stool. "As your Miss, I haven't paid much attention to you all lately. Since I can't sleep tonight, I thought I'd have a heart-to-heart with you to strengthen our sisterly bond..."

Qing Han shuddered, her face full of horror. "Miss, did we do something wrong?"

Lv Xin also nodded with a forced smile. "...Miss, you must be hungry, right? Lv Xin will go make something for you to eat!"

"Yes, yes! I'll go too!"

"Stop." Qin Hanxue spoke up. "Come back. Sit by my side. Let the three of us have a good chat."
