"Aunt He." Ming Shu stopped Aunt He from continuing. "Your surname is He, too. Did you come to the Qin family along with Qin Che's mother?"
Aunt He was just getting started when she heard this question. She immediately stopped and looked at Ming Shu strangely.
After a while, she nodded her head and lamented, "Yes, the He family was well known for producing scholars. Although it couldn't be compared to the really wealthy families, it had quite some assets too. Since I was young, I was working for the He family and then followed my miss over to the Qin family. Before my miss passed away, she asked me to take care of Master and that's why I continued staying here."
"Is there something going on? Why are you asking this?"
Ming Shu pulled Aunt He over. "Tell me more about the He family."
She knew that He Shuguo wanted to target the Qin family, but she didn't know the reason.
"There is nothing much." Aunt He thought that Ming Shu was just curious. Although she said there was nothing much, she still told Ming Shu everything she knew.
He Shuguo was Qin Che's uncle. When Qin Che's mother married over, He Shuguo was against the marriage. However, Qin Che's mother cried and threatened He Shuguo with her life and finally managed to marry into the Qin family.
He Shuguo was afraid that his sister would suffer and asked Aunt He to come and take care of her.
The Qin family had a bigger background than the He family. Although some people looked down on Qin Che's mother, she was well-mannered and knowledgeable and under the protection of Qin Che's father, so she didn't suffer much.
After that, Qin Che was born.
Qin Che's arrival meant that the Qin family had a heir. During that time, the entire Qin family was engulfed in anxiety. Aunt He felt it, too.
There was one time when Qin Che almost died in the nursery and his father did some scary things in a fit of anger. This caused the people in the Qin family to quiet down.
Qin Che's mother died two years later and left young Qin Che alone. Aunt He promised Qin Che's mother to take care of him at her deathbed and thus stayed with the Qin family.
After Qin Che's mother passed away, He Shuguo stopped visiting the Qin family. The He family also started to grow stronger during these years.
Aunt He didn't know the exact details of these events and only offered a summary of everything.
"Thanks, Aunt He."
"Why are you asking this, Miss? Did... anything happened?" Aunt He felt a bit perturbed.
"I'm just asking for fun." Ming Shu took her snacks and went upstairs.
Aunt He half-believed her.
Ming Shu hummed and climbed up the stairs. Jiang Duo was lying on the bed and staring at her phone weakly.
"Have you come to a decision?" Ming Shu threw the snacks on the bed.
Jiang Duo was uninterested in the snacks. "Xiao Li, don't you find this unreal? It's like a novel."
How could she be the daughter of the Nan family?
According to the Harmony System, they were part of a novel.
However, Ming Shu couldn't tell her.
"The DNA test has been done. There is nothing unreal about this. You can't hide from them your whole life." Ming Shu sat down beside Jiang Duo.
